Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a robot-type wristwatch in which a robot that performs a watch function is detachably latched to a base of a wrist band.

Conventional toy watches have models of popular characters on the clock faces, patterns that children would like on the dials, or hands that are shaped like "Goo 1".
．． It can be decorated with ``choki゛'', ``par 1, etc.'', or even have a picture pattern drawn on the arm band.
Most watches were made by adding toy functions to the original clock. However, in the case of analog wristwatches in which the hands rotate on the dial, the hands become a dynamic element and produce minute-by-moment changes in the picture pattern on the dial, but they are cheap spring mechanisms, etc. Because of this, the accuracy of the timekeeping function was often insufficient for practical use.

In contrast, advances in semiconductor technology have led to the mass production of digital watches that incorporate watch ICs and liquid crystal display panels into toy watches, and are cheaper than conventional analog watches. Then, the wave of digitization swept over toy watches, and toy watches began to appear with accuracy comparable to traditional wristwatches.

However, while improvements in timekeeping functions have been seen, conventional digital toy watches lack dynamic performance, so for example, game consoles that use the liquid crystal display panel for displaying the time for the game content entry screen For this reason, there are no toy watches that have toy characteristics such as the watch itself changing shape, and we hope to see new developments in this direction in the future. The current situation was that

The non-invention was made in view of the fear in the article, and the robot has a structure in which the body is used to display a clock, and the robot is detachably locked to the pedestal of the wrist band, and can be used as a wristwatch or as a robot toy. The purpose is to provide a robot-type wristwatch that can be used as a robot.

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a robot having an hour mark on its torso and movable arms and legs attached to the torso, and a robot that can be detachably attached to the robot. It is proposed that the device is composed of an arm band having a pedestal for holding the robot, and a locking device #M formed on the pedestal to irremovably lock the robot held by the pedestal.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing different usage states of an embodiment of the robot wristwatch of the present invention, Figures 3 and 4 respectively.
The figures are a front view and an enlarged 8+ view of the bag portion of the robot shown in FIG. 2, respectively.

In the figure, a robot type wristwatch 1 includes a robot 2 having a body 2a incorporating a clock mechanism (not shown) and displaying a clock, and a wristband 3 having a base 3a for detachably holding the robot 2. It is generally composed of a locking mechanism 4 provided on the arm band 3, and the like.

The robot 2 has a structure in which a head 2b, an arm 2C, and a leg 2d are movable on each of the four sides of a cubic body 2a.In the case of this embodiment, these head 2b, arm 2C
The legs 2d are movable into and out of the trunk 2a.

1 u slightly above the middle heat section on the front of the body 2a
A liquid crystal display panel 5 for digitally displaying the time is embedded in the device, and the time measured by the clock mechanism is digitally displayed in hours and minutes or seconds.

In the case of this embodiment, the liquid crystal display panel 5 is configured to display the time at all times. Of course, the structure may be opened so that the display can be viewed.

On the other hand, the arm band 30 pedestal 3a is attached to the bottom 1 of the robot 2.
It has a shallow four part 6 with a shape that matches the figure, and a locking fit 4#! that irremovably locks the robot 2 on the bottom surface of this four part 6. N is provided. In the case of this embodiment, this locking mechanism 4 can be moved close to and away from the fixed pin 4a and the movable pin 4b & Q: movable pin biased by a spring in the l'jllHj direction. The dog B@ is composed of a lever 4c and the like provided on the side of the pedestal 3a to displace the pedestal 4b. A fixing pin 4a is attached to the bottom of the robot 2.
There are protruding chucks (not shown) that lock the movable pin 4b from both sides. Therefore, when the robot 2 is seated on the pedestal 3a as shown in Figure 'e141, by displacing the lever 4C in the direction in which the movable pin 4b approaches the fixed bin 4a, the movable pin by the chuck is moved. 4b is released, and the robot 2 can be removed from the pedestal 3a.

On the other hand, 1. When mounting the robot 2 on the pedestal 3a, as shown in FIG.
At this time, the chuck pushes the movable pin 4b toward the fixed bin 4a and locks it on both sides of the fixed pin 4a and the movable pin 4b. The robot 2 is irremovably fixed to the base 3a.

By the way, the robot 2 that has been detached from the pedestal 3a of the arm band 3 can be shaped into a robot by pulling out the head 2b, arms 2c, or legs 2d. explain in detail.

The robot 2 has a head 2 in the body 2a as described above.
b. It is mounted on the pedestal 3a with all the arm parts 2C and leg parts 2d stored, but in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. The shoulder portion 8 and the entire leg portion 2d are configured to be able to freely slide in and out of the body portion 2a.

For example, as for the head 2b, as shown in FIG. 4, the neck 7 is slidable on the neck boulder 7a, and the shoulder 8 of the arm 2c is slidable on the side of the head 2b. A groove portion 9 is formed that is slightly larger than the cylindrical shoulder holder 8a that is held in place. Therefore, the head 2b can be completely accommodated within the body 2a in a manner that matches the shoulder holder 8a.

The shoulder portion 8 of the arm portion 2C is not only slidable but also rotatable relative to the shoulder holder 8a, so that the arm portion 2C can be pivoted around the shoulder portion 8.

The portion of the arm portion 2C that is connected to the elbow is also bendable, so the arm portion 2C can move in the same way as a human.

The leg portion 2d can be pulled out of the body portion 2a by pinching the foot portion 10 provided at the lower end with fingers.
If the bottom surface of the foot section 100 is placed on a flat surface, the entire robot 2 can be made to stand upright.

In this way, even as a standalone robot 2, it has sufficient functions as a toy, and the time displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 5 provided on the body 2a has practical accuracy. You can know the exact time while watching the changes in shape.

In the above embodiment, the head 2b, arms 2C, and legs 2d of the robot 2 have recesses 6 in the pedestal 3a so that they can be attached to the pedestal 3a exposed outside the body 2a. Alternatively, the surface of the pedestal may be made of a flat surface. Further, the head 2b may be configured to be rotatable so that it can be swung relative to the body 2a.

Furthermore, the locking mechanism 4 is configured to release the lock by sliding the lever 4C laterally along the pedestal 3a, but it may also be configured to release the lock by pushing the lever 4C toward the pedestal 3a. As explained above, according to the robot type wristwatch of the present invention, a robot having arms and legs movably attached to a body part that displays a clock is detachably held on a base of an arm band. Because of this structure, if the robot is removed from the pedestal, it can be used as a standalone robot just like any other form-changing toy.Even in that case, there is always a clock displayed on the robot's body, so it can function as a clock. will not be lost, and furthermore, the robot can be attached to and detached from the arm band.
Since the robot can be locked or unlocked using the locking mechanism provided on the base, there is no chance of the robot accidentally falling off the wristband, and it can be used just like a regular wristwatch. Excellent ability/ζ effect.
