Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a watch dial.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when attaching hour letters for time display to a dial, as shown in Fig. 1, two
The book mounting legs 2, 2 are installed vertically, and mounting holes 4, 4 for inserting the mounting legs 2, 2 are bored in the dial plate body 3, and the mounting legs 2, 2 are installed. Hole 4,
The hour characters were fixed to the dial by inserting them into the dial and caulking the lower end, or by brazing. For this reason, the materials used for hour characters were mostly limited to metals.

Therefore, in order to make it possible to use jewels and precious stones other than metal as hour characters, it has been proposed that these hour characters be fixed to the dial via a holder with legs. (Refer to Publication No. 141668) However, in this type of conventional holder, the hour characters were held by multiple claws, which made the shape of the holder complicated, which was compounded by the fact that it was very small. However, the processing is troublesome.

(b) The claws must be bent after the hour characters are placed on the holder, making installation complicated and the hour characters easily being damaged.

c Since the nails partially cover the upper surface of the hour character, the decorative quality of the hour character is impaired and the decorative effect is halved.

There were other drawbacks.

The nails mentioned above can be omitted if the hour characters are glued to the holder, but if the upper surface of the holder is used as a decorative surface that can be seen through the hour characters, the nails can be omitted by applying adhesive. The color, pattern, etc. of the decorative surface may change or become impossible to see through, resulting in a significant reduction in the decorative effect.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The problem to be solved by the invention is that when attaching hour letters made of a translucent material to a dial via a holder, it is possible to attach the hour letters to the holder by adhering them to the holder without impairing the decorativeness. The purpose is to allow it to be installed.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides hour characters for time display with vertical clamping surfaces at both ends using a translucent member such as glass or acrylic resin. A U-shaped holder having a decorative surface coated with a fluorescent substance and vertical supporting walls at both ends, and a surface holding the hour character between the supporting walls. The holder is elastically clamped and attached by bonding the support wall and the clamping surface with adhesive, and the mounting legs provided vertically on the lower surface of the holder are fixed to the dial plate. .

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. In Figs.
1, . 11 is elastically held by a metal U-shaped holder 12 having a horizontal decorative surface 12a and vertical support walls 12b, 12b at both ends. These clamping surfaces and supporting walls 12b, 12
b are fixed by adhering them with an adhesive, thereby horizontally mounting the hour mark 11 on the holder 12. The decorative surface 12a of the holder is colored uniformly or in a pattern by applying a fluorescent substance or paint, and the lower surface thereof has mounting legs 13 for fixing to the dial plate 10. 13
is installed vertically.

When attaching the hour mark 11 to the dial plate 10, insert the mounting legs 13, 13 provided on the lower surface of the holder 12 into the mounting holes 14, 14 drilled in the dial plate 10, It is fixed by brazing or by caulking its lower end.

In the above embodiment, the hour characters 11 are formed in the shape of a polygonal column, but this may be in the shape of any other polyhedron with vertical clamping surfaces, in which case,
It goes without saying that the holder 12 has an appropriate shape that can hold the hour character depending on the shape of the hour character.

[Effects of the invention] According to the watch dial of the invention having the above configuration, the hour characters for time display are formed into a polyhedral shape with vertical clamping surfaces at both ends, and the hour characters are formed into a U-shaped shape. While being elastically held between the supporting walls of the holder,
Since the support wall and the holding surface of the hour character are bonded with adhesive, the hour character can be easily and reliably attached to the holder without applying adhesive directly to the decorative surface of the upper surface of the holder. The application of the adhesive will not change the color or pattern of the decorative surface, or the decorative surface will be covered with adhesive and cannot be seen through, and the decorative effect of the adhesive will not be affected. The decline can be reliably prevented.

In addition, since there is no need to hold and fix the hour character with the claws as in the conventional example described above, the structure of the holder is simplified and the work of fixing the hour character is also facilitated.
There is no reduction in the decorative effect of the nails.
