[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This utility model relates to a ski stock watch with a stopwatch function that can be attached to the ski stock grip.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a sport that competes for the time required to move a certain section, that is, how small the time is, it is very important to measure the time and objectively evaluate the competitive ability of the player when practicing. is important. In an environment where it is not possible for a third party to measure the time, for example, in the case of a marathon in athletics, both hands are free. It is possible to easily measure accurate time. However, in the case of an alpine ski competition, it is virtually impossible for the competitor himself to operate a stopwatch etc. to measure a relatively accurate time, as he / she starts and finishes while holding the ski stock with both hands. Is. Because if the competitor himself wants to measure, at the start, first start the measurement of the stopwatch, grasp the ski stock again, determine the position where the ski stock is struck, and then start the start work. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately reflect the start moment in the measurement. At the goal, in order to stop the stopwatch measurement, you must take your hand off the ski pole grips and groping for the stopwatch control buttons. If you can't find the control button between the end of the last turn and the time you reach the goal, the measurement will of course fail. In addition, with such a method, it becomes impossible to concentrate attention on the ski operation itself, and the effect of practice is impaired. Therefore, conventionally, a measurement start control means such as a start bar that senses the movement of the skier's legs to start measurement, a wired or wireless signal transmission means between the start and the goal, and the passage of the skier at the goal are detected. In general, the time was generally measured by using a measurement stop control means that uses a photoelectric tube or the like. There is a problem that these means are not easy to handle such as installing the device and are very expensive. In addition, skiing is a sport that is generally performed outdoors, so when you want to know the time, you almost always have to look at your wristwatch. In this case, the ski wear and gloves covering the upper part of the wristwatch had to be removed, which was complicated, and there was the problem that it was physically painful, especially in cold weather conditions.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention aims to achieve the followings, excluding the conventional drawbacks. (B) By using the stopwatch function, it is possible for a competitor to easily measure a relatively accurate time, without using a large-scale device, with a minimal influence on ski operation. (B) To simplify the operation to know the time and measured time.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Next, the main means for solving the above object will be described. (A) When the ski (6) is attached to the ski pole and the grip (6) is gripped by the normal ski pole usage method, it does not affect the ski operation and is incorrect during the ski operation. The operation button (4) of the watch is placed on the part that can be easily operated by the thumb of the hand when necessary, and the dial of the watch is placed on the upper surface. From the watch body (2) and (b) the mounting base (1) that has a screw hole near the center and can be fixed to the ski stock grip (6) with the screw (11). Using the ski timepiece watch of the present invention, first, the mounting base is fixed to the grip, and then the main body of the clock is attached to the mounting base with one touch for use. The watch itself can be removed with one touch after use.

[0005]

[Action]

 Next, the action when practicing a ski competition is described using a ski stock equipped with the ski stock watch of the present invention. First, the operation mode (9) for mode switching is used to set the operation mode of the watch to the stopwatch function. The skier then presses the operating button (4) himself at the moment of starting and preparing for the start, and starts the stopwatch measurement. As described in claim 7, since the operation button is arranged in a portion that can be easily operated with only the thumb while holding the grip, the operation of this button has almost no effect on the start operation. Next, at the moment when the goal is reached, the skier presses the operation button (4) again by himself and stops the stopwatch measurement. Even at this time, the skier can operate with only the thumb while holding the grip, so the skier can concentrate on skiing until the moment the goal is reached. If you mark the snow on the snow with a color spray etc. as a goal line, it will be a guide for the timing of pressing the operation button by yourself. As described above, the competitor himself / herself can easily and relatively accurately measure the time. In addition, the clock face is placed on the top surface of the ski pole, so you can see the time and the measured time at a glance. It should be noted that when the time is viewed, the operation mode of the clock may be set to the time display function.

【Example】

 2 and 3, the structure of a conventional ski pole will be described. A metal pipe part (5) integrated with a screw receiver (13) is covered with a grip (6), and a screw (7) is used from above. It is fixed. On the other hand, the structure of the embodiment using the ski stock watch of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, in which a screw hole is provided near the center of the mounting base (1). The screw (11) is passed through to fix the metal pipe part (5) integrated with the screw receiver (13), the grip (6), and the mounting base (1). Needless to say, the screw (11) used in the embodiment of the present invention is longer than the conventional screw (7) by the height of the timepiece. As another method of fixing the mounting base (1) to the grip, in addition to the above, a method of using an adhesive or a double-sided tape may be considered. Most ski pole grips have a slightly convex upper surface. Also, there are some differences in the shape of the upper surface of the grip for each ski pole. Therefore, a buffer part (8) having a slightly concave bottom surface is provided between the mounting base (1) and the grip (6) so that the watch of the present invention can be more reliably attached to most ski poles. I am trying to fix it. The cushioning part may be constructed of a soft material such as rubber so as to absorb the unevenness, or a material such as plastic that softens when heat is applied and hardens when cooled, or is easy to cut. It is also conceivable to use a certain material such as cork and mold it by the user himself according to the shape of the upper end surface of the grip of each ski pole. Alternatively, several types of parts may be prepared so that the shape of the bottom surface of the part that comes into contact with the grip during mounting matches the shape of each ski stock grip. The watch body (2) is attached to the mounting base (1) securely fixed to the grip of the ski pole as described above with one-touch operation. To show an example of a mechanism that enables one-touch attachment / detachment, the mounting base (1) is provided with a groove (15), while the watch body (2) is provided with a rail (16) that fits exactly into the groove, A configuration that slides laterally is conceivable. As can be seen in FIG. 5, the trapezoidal shape of the groove and rail on the cut surface prevents the timepiece body from slipping upward. In addition, if a protrusion (10) is provided at the center of the rail of the watch body that does not hinder the sliding movement of the groove and rail and that fits into the screw hole of the mounting base, the watch body can be secured. When installed in the correct position, you can feel a click and prevent the watch body from slipping out in the horizontal direction. By making it detachable with a single touch like this, it can be expected to have the effect of preventing theft. Not limited to this example, various mechanisms for detaching with one touch are publicly known, and the present invention is not particularly limited thereto. Also, as described above, attach the watch body removed from the mounting base fixed to the stock to another mounting base with a wristwatch belt, and hold it on your wrist with the wristwatch belt. If it is used, it can be used like a general wristwatch, and it is expected to prevent the loss of the watch itself. Next, similarly explaining the embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, since the timepiece dial (3) is arranged on the upper surface of the timepiece, it is possible to visually check the time and the measured time. It's very easy. In addition, the operation button (4) for inputting the start and stop of the measurement of the stopwatch function is located at the part that can be easily operated with the thumb. More specifically, when viewed from above, the grip (6) is arranged in a direction that forms a right angle with the center of the watch as an axis with respect to the direction in which the leather (12) is projected. Moreover, as is clear from FIG. 6, the dial is arranged at a slight angle with respect to the surface on which the dial is placed, which makes it easier to operate with the thumb. However, if the operation button is placed at a fixed position on the thumb when skiing, there is a risk of accidentally pressing the operation button during the ski operation, so the operation button is placed above the grip. Needless to say, even with this part, it is easy to operate with the thumb. Another operation button (9) is for inputting the mode switching of the watch and the reset of the stopwatch. This operation button should be placed so that it can be operated with the index finger. Various other operation buttons can be considered, but they are omitted here. These operation buttons should be large and easy to operate even with gloves on. FIG. 7 shows another embodiment in which the mounting base is not used. The total height can be reduced because there is no mounting base. Also, since the watch body is fixed with screws, the attachment can be made more reliable. The embodiment of the present invention shown in these figures shows the ski stock used by the right hand. In the present invention, the expression "clock" is used for the sake of simplicity. Specifically, the functions are as follows: (a) Time display function (b) Stopwatch function (c) Date and day of the week display function (d) Alarm Functions (e) Waterproof function (f) Cold protection function, including the functions that a typical wristwatch can have, should be considered. Furthermore, the present invention does not limit the display portion of the watch to the digital type, but may be the analog type. The driving method of the timepiece is not limited to the battery type, but may be a solar cell type or a mainspring type.
