Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a neutral jig for operating buttons in game clocks used in games such as Go, Shogi, and Chess that are played with a time limit.

Conventionally, game clocks have been equipped with two clocks, and each player's time is set in advance on each clock, and at the same time as the game starts, the player in the last position presses an operation button (hereinafter simply referred to as "button"). Press,
As a result, the first player's clock starts operating and starts moving its hands. Next, when the first player finishes making a move, he presses a button. As a result, the clock on the first hand stops, and at the same time, the clock on the second hand starts operating and starts moving its hands. As each player presses his or her own button for each move, the amount of time each player has is reduced.

By the way, such a game clock has a button protruding for each player, and when a player presses this button, the clock is switched on and off, repeatedly starting and stopping. Before the start of the game, both buttons are held in the neutral position, and with both clocks stopped in this manner, the time each player has is set. At this time, both buttons are brought into the neutral state by pressing them down with the fingertips, and this neutral position is unstable, especially when a micro switch is used to change the clock. Furthermore, the position of the buttons is extremely unstable even when the game watch is being transported.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a jig that can hold the button in a neutral state before starting a game, and can stably hold the button in position during transportation.

The configuration of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.As shown in Fig. 1, the game clock has two independent movements housed in the watch case 1, and each movement produces two time display sections. Each pointer 3, 4, 3', 4' of 2, 2' is activated. Two buttons 5 and 5' are protruded from the top surface of the watch case 1, and when one of the buttons 5 is pressed, the movement of the hands on one side 2 of the time display section is stopped, and the movement of the hands on the other side 2a is started. Then, when the other button 5' is pressed, one of the time display sections 2 starts moving the hands, and at the same time, the other 2' stops moving the hands. Note that guidelines 3, 4, 3',
At the tip of the second hand shaft, which is provided coaxially with the second hand 4', there are operating display plates 6, 6', and on the scales of the time display parts 2, 2', slightly to the left of 12, there is a display indicating the end of the game time. Flags 7, 7' are swingably provided for notification.

By the way, the buttons 5, 5' have a body part 5a that slides up and down inside the watch case 1, and when the jig 8 according to the present invention is inserted into this body part 5a, the buttons 5, 5'
5' is held in a neutral position (FIG. 1).

The shape of the jig 8 is shown in FIG. 2 in which a fork-shaped fitting part 8A and a gripping part 8B are integrally molded. The fitting part 8A fits into the body part 5a of the button, and the thickness of this fitting part is the same as that of the button 5,
It is necessary that the protrusion of 5' be sufficient to maintain the neutral state of the watch, so that once this fitting part is fitted into each button, it is impossible to press this button any further.

If the fitting portion 8A is formed into a fork shape as shown in the figure, and the shape of the inner circular arc portion of this fitting portion matches the outer shape of the body of the button, the connection between this fitting portion and the shaft portion will be improved. becomes strong. Furthermore, if the jig 8 is made of a material with a cushioning effect, it can be used as a cushioning material during transportation.

When the jig according to the present invention having the above configuration is fitted to the operation button of the game clock, it is possible to easily secure the neutral position, ensure that both the game clocks are stopped at the same time, and also be able to easily maintain the position during transportation. The position of the button can be maintained stably.
