Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a ring stop button for stopping the generation of the alarm clock or other alarm bell.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the stop button has been integrated with the mechanical body of the watch and connected to the stop lever by fitting, etc., and the top surface of the stop button has an opening provided on the top surface of the outer frame. It penetrated and protruded upward, and the stop button had a protrusion formed thereon to prevent it from coming off.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Therefore, when incorporating the stop button into a watch, the button must be housed within the outer frame and protrude outward from inside the opening of the outer frame. The installation work was complicated, and the position of the opening and the stop button was often slightly misaligned due to molding errors, resulting in the stop button being biased to one side of the opening. .

In addition, in order to eliminate misalignment between the exterior frame and the stop button, there are some models in which the operating pieces are hung facing each other across a guide frame provided on the exterior frame, but this has a complicated shape and is therefore made of plastic. A slide core is required during molding, which has the disadvantage of increasing manufacturing costs.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a ring stopper that is easy to mold, easy to assemble into the outer frame, easy to connect with the stopper lever attached to the watch mechanical body, and a stopper lever that is inserted into the outer frame. The purpose of the button is to provide a mounting structure for a ring stop button that does not shift laterally.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The feature of the present invention is that the anti-squeal button that fits into the opening of the exterior frame forms a rear operation part and a anti-squeal lever operation part on the lower side of the upper operation part. The part of the ring stop operation part that faces the back side operation part is a notch, and the ring stop lever operation part has a locking part that connects to the lock part of the ring stop lever provided on the watch mechanism body. The guide portion formed on the exterior frame is configured such that there is an exterior frame mounting interval between the inner surface of the rear operation section and the noise-stopping lever operation section, and the guide section formed on the exterior frame is arranged within the exterior frame attachment interval. It can be inserted into the rear operating section, and its purpose is to position the rear operating section and guide the movement direction of the rear operating section.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the stop button 1 is fitted into an opening 3 of an exterior frame 2 so as to be flush with the outer surface of the exterior frame.

As shown in the second and third figures, the ring stop button 1 has a rear operation section 5 hanging continuously from the center of one side of the upper operation section 4 to the end surface of that side. The upper surface operation section 4 and the rear surface operation section 5 are on the same plane as the upper surface and the rear surface of the exterior frame 2. A protrusion (knob) 6 is formed on the lower side of the back surface operation section 5 to facilitate operation.

On both sides of the rear operation section 5, a stop lever operation section 7 hangs down from a position retracted from the end face of one side toward the stop button. The anti-squeal lever operating section 7 is integrated with both sides connected below the back operating section 5, and the portion facing the back operating section 5 forms a notch 8. As shown in the third figure, the inner surface (left side) of the rear operation section 5 and the anti-squeal lever operation section
Ribs 5a and 7a are formed on the inner surface (right side) respectively to reduce resistance during movement, and there is an exterior frame between the rear operation section and the anti-squeal lever operation section. There is a mounting interval of 9.

Protrusions 11a and 11b, which are engagement parts of the anti-squeal lever 10 and can be fitted into the connection hole 10a, are protruded from the inner surface of the anti-squeal lever operating portion 7. As mentioned above, the noise-stopping lever operation part 7 of the noise-stopping button 1 has a cutout part 8 in the part facing the rear operation part 5, so that it can be easily molded with a split mold when plastic is molded. No slide core is required.

The exterior frame 2 is integrally formed with a guide portion 12 that can be inserted into the exterior frame mounting interval 9, and this guide portion substantially coincides with both side surfaces and the bottom end surface of the lower half of the rear operation section 5. This is a concave portion in the shape of a concave portion, and therefore, the concave-shaped guide portion guides the positioning of the rear operating portion and the direction of movement (up and down direction) of the operating portion.

Inside the exterior frame 2, the watch mechanical body 13 is mounted on the mounting plate 1.
4, and a ring stop lever 10 is attached to the back of the watch mechanism so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

Note that a pointer 16 and an alarm hand 17 are provided in front of the dial 15, and are covered by a front glass 18.

Next, the operation of assembling the stop button 1 into the opening of the exterior frame 2 will be explained.

Insert the anti-squeal button 1 from the outside of the opening 3 of the exterior frame 2, and insert the guide part 12 into the exterior frame installation interval 9 between the rear operation section 5 of the button and the anti-squeal lever operation section 7. Position the rear operation section on this guide section, and in this state press down on the stop button.

Of course, at this time, the watch mechanical body 13 has already been fixed to the mounting plate 14.

When the stop button 1 is pressed down, the protrusions 11a and 11b of the stop lever operation part 7 automatically engage in the connection hole 10a of the stop lever 10, and the two are connected. After that, the pointers 16, 17 and the front glass 18 may be attached.

When the top and back of the stop button 1 are flush with the top and back of the exterior frame 2 as shown in the first diagram,
The sound stop button is in the pressed position, and the sound stop lever is in the lowered position, which is the sound stop state.

When setting the alarm clock, pull the ring stop button 1 up to the position shown by the chain line in FIG. 1 by pulling your finger along the protrusion 6. As a result, the sound stop lever also rises, the sound stop is released, and the arrival of the alarm set time is notified.

To return the sound to the stop state, simply press the top operation section 4 and lower the stop button 1.

To move the stop button 1 up and down, the guide section 12 is sandwiched between the back operation section 5 and the stop lever operation section 7, and this back operation section fits into this guide section, so that the stop button 1 can be moved in the correct posture. It is possible.

(Effects of the invention) According to the present invention, if the stop button is inserted from the outside of the exterior frame, the stop lever operation part of the stop button can be easily and securely connected to the stop lever of the watch mechanism. The connection prevents the stop button from coming off, and the rear operation section of the stop button is positioned by the guide section.
Since the movement direction is guided, there is no left-right vibration, and the movement can be carried out smoothly in the correct posture. Also, the anti-squeal lever operation part has a notch at the position opposite to the rear operation part. , it has excellent effects such as making it easier to mold the stop button and being able to provide it at a lower cost.
