Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to the improvement of watches.

In recent years, clocks have come to be required not only to display the time but also to have decorative functions as indoor equipment, and for this reason various decorative clocks have been manufactured.

The present invention aims to provide a highly decorative watch that satisfies these requirements.
A feature of this device is that a thin wire is swingably connected to both ends of the second hand, and the thin wire is configured to make comical movements as the second hand rotates.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a panel that serves both the main body and the dial of the watch;
A movement 2 is attached to the back surface of the panel 1, and an hour hand 3, a minute hand 4, and a second hand 5 for time display, which are driven and rotated by the movement 2, are disposed on the front surface of the panel.

The second hand 5 is made by integrally forming an indicator part 5a for indicating the seconds and an extension part 5b extending from the base end of the indicator part 5a using a thin metal wire such as a wire. A thin hard wire 6 made of wire, synthetic resin, etc. is attached to the tips of the indicating portion 5a and the extension portion 5b.
a, 6b are swingably connected by loosely engaging rings 7, 8 and 9, 10 curved at their ends.

In the illustrated embodiment, the clock is used as a wall clock and is hung on a wall or the like using the metal fittings 11, but it can also be configured as a table clock.

In the timepiece having the above configuration, when the second hand 5 rotates, two thin wires 6a connected to both ends of the second hand 5,
6b also performs vertical movement and rotational movement accordingly. These movements can be made by appropriately combining the shapes of the rings, such as circles, ellipses, triangles, and squares, or by changing the direction and inclination of the rings, so that the rings intertwine in a fixed shape depending on the angle of the second hand. It can be set arbitrarily. For example, Fig. 3 A, B
As shown in FIG.
seconds), the ring 7 of the indicator 5a and the thin wire 6
If the thin wire 6a is fixedly entangled with the ring 8 of A and lifted in the state shown in the figure, the indicator 5a will be in the horizontal position (15
When moving between the downward vertical position (30 seconds) and the downward vertical position (30 seconds), the thin wire 6a can be rotated and extended by its own weight in a direction in which the tip protrudes forward from the panel 1, and it can also be extended in the same way. If the rings 9 and 10 of the portion 5b and the thin wire 6b are intertwined as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the thin wire 6b can be caused to perform the same movement as the thin wire 6a.

As described above, according to the timepiece of the present invention, the second hand is composed of a second indicator and an extension extending from the base end of the second hand, and each of the thin wires is attached to the tip of the second hand through a ring so that the second hand can swing freely. Since these thin wires are connected to the second hand, it is possible to make comical movements such as floating and rotation as the second hand rotates.
