JPH0643589U - Rotating bezel with audio device - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Object] The present invention provides a rotating bezel with an audio device that can play a melody when the rotating bezel that is attached to and detached from a portable watch case is rotated. In a watch case and a rotating bezel that is attached to and detached from the watch case, a large number of pins are arranged on the bottom surface of the rotating bezel, and an acoustic plate is arranged on the watch case. The material of the pins and the acoustic plate is SUS, titanium alloy, cemented carbide such as WC, and the like, and has good corrosion resistance to sweat, seawater, and the like. [Effect] As described above, according to the present invention, when the rotating bezel is rotated, a melody is played. Provide a rotating bezel with a thin audio device that can be carried on a daily basis.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portable timepiece such as a wristwatch and a clock, and more particularly to a rotating bezel with an acoustic device added in a timepiece case structure.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The conventional rotating bezel has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 3, 1 is a watch case, 2 is a rotating bezel with indications such as elapsed time, direction, and angle display on the upper part, and 3 is pressed between the watch case 1 and the rotating bezel 2. , The elastic members 4, 5 for eliminating the rattling of the rotating bezel and obtaining an appropriate rotating torque are provided on each of the watch case 1 and the rotating bezel 2 and engage with each other with a radial interference. It is the projected part.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional rotating bezel has a single function to measure elapsed time and simple direction.

Therefore, the present invention is to add a new function, rather than the conventional single function, and an object thereof is to provide a rotating bezel which plays a melody when rotated.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The rotating bezel with an audio device of the present invention is a rotating bezel composed of a watch case, a rotating bezel that is attached to and detached from the watch case, and an elastic member that is pressed and arranged between the watch case and pins. A scale plate is arranged under the rotary bezel of the watch case.

[0006]

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 11 is a portable watch case such as a wrist watch, 12 is a rotating bezel, 13 is an elastic member pressed between the watch case 11 and the rotating bezel 12, 14 is a pin arranged on the bottom of the rotating bezel, 15 Is a scale plate whose one end is fixed to the watch case 11 and whose free end is different in length due to the notch and is arranged in the order of the scale, and 16 is a screw for fixing the scale plate 15 to the watch case 11. The material of the pins and scales is SUS, titanium alloy, WC cemented carbide, etc., which has good corrosion resistance to sweat, seawater, etc. Reference numeral 12a is a display such as a display of elapsed time, azimuth and angle on the upper part of the rotating bezel 12.

Here, when the rotating bezel 12 is rotated, the plurality of pins 14 arranged on the bottom surface of the rotating bezel 12 can play the melody by playing the scale plate 15.

Further, since the pin 14 is arranged flat on the bottom surface of the rotating bezel, the thickness can be reduced, so that the watch case is not made thick at all.

Further, since the material of the pins and the scale plate has good corrosion resistance to sweat, seawater, etc., there is no problem in using the watch case in daily life.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment in which the pin 14 is arranged on the rotary bezel 12. The pin 14 is arranged on a donut-shaped flat plate 21 and the flat plate 21 is fixed to the rotary bezel 12.

When the pin 14 is attached to the rotary bezel in this way, the rotary bezel 12 and the flat plate 21 are manufactured separately, so that the pin array of one melody increases the variety of designs of the rotary bezel. , Easy to manufacture.

In both FIGS. 1 and 2, the scale plate is perpendicular to the rotating method of the rotating bezel, but if the scale plate is tilted by 10 to 30 °, the function is the same and the planar size is reduced.

[0013] Further, the scale size is reduced by arranging not only one scale but also a low tone, a middle tone, and a high tone, and arranging a large number of them.

The scale plate is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the rotating bezel, but when tilted by 10 to 30 °, the function is the same and the watch case becomes thin.

In addition, keeping the minimum thickness of the watch case in strength and removing the watch case under the rotating bezel, the watch case doubles as a resonance box, without impairing the design of the watch case. You can improve the sound and increase the volume.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the pin is arranged on the bottom surface of the rotating bezel and the scale plate is arranged on the clock case, so that the rotating bezel produces a melody when rotated. Moreover, because the rotating bezel is removable, you can play different melodies simply by replacing the rotating bezel with a different pin arrangement. Furthermore, by arranging the pins on the bottom surface of the rotating bezel in a plane and arranging the scale plate at an angle, a compact and thin watch case with a rotating bezel required for recent timekeeping cases can be obtained.

Further, since the material of the pin / scale plate has good corrosion resistance, a watch case with a rotating bezel that can be carried daily can be obtained. Thus, the practical effect of the present invention is extremely large.
