Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enlarge and recognize letters and the like at any place without farsighted glasses by openably providing a convex lens cover through a hinge on a part of a timepiece case having a dial. SOLUTION: A timepiece case 1 on which a timepiece glass 10 is provided has a rear cover 2 and a crown 3, and a dial 5 having pointers through movement is provided in the case 1. A convex lens cover 7 composed of a convex lens at the side of a 12 o'clock position 6 which is a part of the case 1 is openably provided in the direction of connecting the 12 o'clock position 6 and the 6 o'clock position 9 of a dial 5 through a hinge 8 to each other. In the state where the lens cover 7 is closed, it is joined on a timepiece glass 10 provided to be fixed on the dial 5 in a tightly fitted state. In a use state, the lens cover 1 is raised from the case 1, and a farsighted lens is replaced therefor.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wrist watch with a convex lens lid, and more particularly to a novel improvement for allowing only the convex lens lid to be opened and closed from a watch case so that the convex lens lid can be used as reading glasses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional wristwatch of this type, a watch glass is provided in a watch case but a convex lens lid is not provided, so that a person with presbyopia separately prepared reading glasses. .

[0003]

Since the conventional wristwatch is constructed as described above, there are the following problems. That is, since a wristwatch is not provided with a convex lens lid, a person with presbyopia must have a pair of reading glasses or a magnifying lens separately, and it is extremely inconvenient to use reading glasses or a magnifying lens in case of an emergency. It was

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in particular, only the convex lens lid can be opened and closed from the watch case, and the convex lens lid can be used as reading glasses. Intended to provide watches.

[0005]

A wristwatch with a convex lens lid according to the present invention has a structure in which a convex lens lid is openably and closably provided via a hinge on a part of a timepiece case having a dial.

More specifically, the watch case is provided with a watch glass for covering the dial.

More specifically, the convex lens lid is also configured as a watch glass.

More specifically, the convex lens lid is constructed so that it can be opened and closed in a direction connecting 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock of the dial.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of a wrist watch with a convex lens lid according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. A reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a timepiece case having a back cover 2 and a crown 3, and in the timepiece case 1, a dial 5 having hands 4 is provided via a movement (not shown). A convex lens lid 7 made of a convex lens is provided on the 12 o'clock position 6 side which is a part of the watch case 1.
Is provided so as to be openable and closable in a direction connecting the 12 o'clock position 6 and the 6 o'clock position 9 of the dial 5 via a known hinge 8, that is, in the direction of arrow A.

In the timepiece shown in FIG. 1 described above, when the convex lens lid 7 is closed, the timepiece glass is fixedly joined to the timepiece glass 10 fixedly provided on the dial 5. Further, when actually using the convex lens lid 7, as shown in FIG. 2, the convex lens lid 7 is raised from the watch case 1 with the timepiece mounted on the wrist, and when a newspaper article or the like is seen, a part of the image is enlarged. It can be seen as a substitute for temporary reading glasses. Further, in the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the watch case 1 is covered only by the convex lens lid 7 without using the watch glass 10 in FIG.

[0011]

Since the wrist watch with the convex lens lid according to the present invention is constructed as described above, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since the convex lens lid is provided on the watch case so as to be openable and closable, a person with presbyopia can magnify and reliably confirm characters and the like at any place without using reading glasses.
