In addition to displaying the time, it can display memorandum-like information such as work schedule, address, name, and phone number by switching the display, but because the display screen is exactly the same size as a regular digital display wristwatch, The number of characters that could be displayed at one time was limited, and it was unsatisfactory as a full-fledged (close to a personal computer) information device that could freely handle complex information.The only way to overcome this drawback was to increase the screen size. If you spread it out vertically (in the direction of the band), it will not fit well when wrapped around your arm, and if you spread it out just in the horizontal direction (in the direction of your wrist), it will be convenient for observing horizontally written information, but it will get in the way of wrist movement. It is expected that it will get into the cuffs of clothing and become difficult to see.

Both ends of the groove 11 are recessed deeper as indicated by 12, and the head 53 falls into these areas, producing a click feeling at the end of the sliding stroke and preventing the sliding from proceeding unnecessarily. The main body is designed so that it will not fall off when removed.

Further, a finger hook 13 is provided at the right end of the main body for pulling out the main body toward the wrist. The figure shows a state in which the main body is pulled out to the wrist side, and when one main body is pushed into the sleeve, the main body 1 can be slid to a position g symmetrical to the illustrated position with respect to the band 6.

can improve the exterior by removing both. The spring structure is not limited to a leaf spring, but may also include a coil spring and a steel ball. Alternatively, the suction effect of the magnet may be utilized to provide a holding function at the sliding end position, or return may be prevented by mere frictional force without any click feeling. Furthermore, if the extrusion spring of the main body is set on the main body or frame, when the main body is pushed into the back (counterpart), the spring is charged and the hook is charged, and when used, when the hook is removed, the real hemp will pop out.

In addition, by devising the shapes of the sliding parts of the guide groove, main body, and frame, when the main body is pushed in, the main body sticks horizontally to the frame.
When the drawer is pulled out (when in use), the main body rises in front of the roof tile (
It is also possible to make the part corresponding to 12 o'clock move upward away from the bottom of the frame as shown in FIG. Additionally, a click-stop knob can be installed at a position where the main unit extends evenly to the left and right of the node to create a sense of symmetry.

It is also possible to remove the main body from the frame by removing the latch or pulling with strong force after the main body has been pulled out completely. When inputting a large amount of character information into the main unit, it is inconvenient to use only the operation buttons attached to the main unit, so an external keyboard device may be used.In this case, the information device is placed on a designated stand with an electromagnetic transmitting/receiving device. , at this time the band tends to get in the way. If the main body can be removed as described above while leaving the band and frame on the arm, it will be easier to connect it to an external keyboard device.

Furthermore, in place of the removed main body, other information devices or "Ankun" with different functions and designs can be inserted into the arm side and used.

Next, how to use the information device of the present invention will be illustrated. 1 because not only the number of characters that can be displayed has increased, but also the width has become longer.
The amount of knowledge per line has increased. Therefore, the display screen is divided into two levels, upper and lower, and the upper level displays foreign language words, and the lower level displays the corresponding translations, allowing both to be displayed at the same time, only one, or only one of the display layers to display many words and translations at the same time. How to use it similar to word cards, such as repeating after the bear,
Although related to each other, different types of information, such as a person's name in the upper row and a telephone number and other information in the lower row, can be clearly separated and displayed vertically. In addition, when displaying the time and using it as a time, divide the display surface into two on the left and right, and display calendar information (or other arbitrary information) on the elbow side, and hour and minute information on the wrist side. Display the time (by pushing in the main body)
You can always quickly check the calendar and other information (frequently viewed (・)) by rolling up the cuffs or pulling out the main body.

:Effects of the invention] As is clear from the above explanation, since the main body is configured so that it can be pulled out to the side near the user's hand when in use, the arm information device of the present invention does not get in the way when carried when not in use, and when in use, it does not need to be worn while wearing. It can be pulled out for easy use, and the pulled out end of the main unit can be easily used. If the dimensions are determined so that it can be bent upward and placed against the wrist to support the pressing force of the front push button, input control operations can also be made easier. The present invention is also convenient for people who have a habit of wearing their watches on their right hand rather than their left hand.
