Description

  The present invention relates to a color sample group of timepiece dials.

  FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a timepiece 50 with a solar cell (solar cell) that generates electric power using photoelectric conversion. A watch 50 with a solar cell includes a case 51, an inner frame 52, a movement 53, a solar cell 54, a transflective plate 55, a pointer shaft 56, a pointer 57, a cover glass 58, a back cover 59, and a translucent dial 60. . The movement 53, the solar cell 54, the transflective plate 55 and the dial plate 60 are arranged in this order via the middle frame 52 in the case 51. The pointer shaft 56 extends from the center of the movement 53 to the upper surface side of the dial 60, and a pointer 57 that is a long hand and a short hand is attached to the tip of the pointer shaft 56. In addition, on the upper surface of the dial 60, an index 62 that is a time character is provided. The cover glass 58 is fixed to the case 51 so as to cover the dial 60 and the hands 57 on the upper surface side of the timepiece, and the back cover 59 so as to cover the movement 53 on the back surface side of the timepiece.

  FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B are schematic cross-sectional views for explaining a translucent timepiece dial. There are mainly two types of translucent timepiece dials such as the dial 60 of FIG. 13 as shown in FIGS. 14 (A) and 14 (B). A dial plate 60A shown in FIG. 14A is composed of a resin dial substrate 61A that is colored as a whole by injection molding a resin mixed with paint. Although not shown in the drawing, printing may be further performed on the entire surface of the colored dial substrate 61A to superimpose colors. A dial plate 60B shown in FIG. 14B is obtained by coloring the entire lower surface (or upper surface) of a transparent dial plate substrate 61B made of transparent resin or glass with a printing layer 63. On the upper surface of the dial substrates 61A and 61B, an index 62 that is a character such as a time character is printed. In a timepiece that generates electricity using photoelectric conversion, such a translucent dial plate that is colored and decorated such as time letters is placed on a solar cell.

  When the design of industrial products, including the dial of a watch, is decided, the designer generally looks at a color sample book on the market and specifies the color of each part of the product, and the manufacturing department uses paint and ink to specify the specified color. Toning. As an example of a color sample, Patent Document 1 describes a color sample set having a color sample sheet having a color sample on a light-transmitting sheet and a base sheet for evaluating the color of the color sample sheet. According to the color sample set of Patent Document 1, the color sample sheet can be grasped by superimposing the color sample sheet on the base sheet.

  Since the timepiece has a variety of ornamental aspects, a subtle color difference is required for the timepiece dial. In particular, the appearance of a translucent timepiece dial is determined by a combination of three elements: color, texture by surface finishing, and light transmittance. For example, when the surface finish of the watch dial is mirror-finished or satin-finished, even if the dial substrate is colored with the same color paint, the latter is whitened due to light diffusion and scattering. Because of the taste, the appearances are different from each other. However, when a general opaque color sample is used, only the color can be specified among the color, texture and light transmittance. When using these opaque color swatches, the designer will specify the color by imagining the finished product, so the appearance that the designer intended is often different from the appearance that is actually produced. In addition, the process of adjusting the color during manufacture becomes complicated.

  The color sample set of Patent Document 1 is a translucent color sample, but it is of a level that can grasp the color when the object is colored. In the color sample set of Patent Document 1, since only the color is expressed among the above three elements, even if this color sample set is applied as it is to a dial for a watch, it is only for simple coloring on a transparent base material. It is impossible to simulate the subtle differences in color of the clock dial that does not stop.

It is explanatory drawing of the usage pattern of the solar cell ledger. It is sectional drawing of the timepiece 50 with a solar cell. It is typical sectional drawing for demonstrating a translucent timepiece dial.

  Hereinafter, the color sample group of the timepiece dial will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the drawings or the embodiments described below.

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a color sample set 1. The color sample set 1 is an example of a color sample group of watch dials in which three elements of color, texture by surface finish, and light transmittance are expressed. Used to simulate. The color sample set 1 includes a character color sample book 2, a resin color sample book 3, and a printing color sample book 4.

  The character color sample book 2 is an example of a second color sample group, and is a ledger that stores a plurality of color samples of characters (indexes) imitating time characters, which are decorations of a timepiece dial (base material). It is. The resin color sample book 3 is an example of a first color sample group, and is a ledger for storing the color sample of the dial substrate (base material) in the colored resin type timepiece dial shown in FIG. It is. The printing color sample book 4 is an example of a first color sample group, and is a ledger that stores color samples of the dial substrate (base material) in the printing type timepiece dial shown in FIG. 14B. is there.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the character color sample book 2 is represented by n books indicated by reference numerals 2a, 2b, 2c,..., 2n, and the resin color sample book 3 is provided by reference numerals 3a, 3b, 3c,. The printed color sample book 4 is composed of n books denoted by reference numerals 4a, 4b, 4c,..., 4n. However, the number of books may be different among the three kinds of color sample books, and any one color book may be used. For example, the color sample books 2a, 3a, and 4a store red color samples, and the color sample books 2b, 3b, and 4b store blue color samples. Samples may be stored together for each booklet.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a part of the character color sample book 2. The character color sample book 2 is, for example, a plurality of color sample pieces that are stored in a storage device such as a clear file in which a plurality of transparent pockets are formed on each page. FIG. 2 shows one page of a clear file in which eight transparent pockets 22 are formed on each page. By putting one color sample piece 23 of each character into each transparent pocket 22, one page is displayed. An example in which eight character color sample pieces 23 are stored side by side is shown. The character color sample book 2 is horizontally long in the illustrated example, but may be vertically long. Reference numeral 21 denotes a base sheet which is a mount of each page of the clear file.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the character color sample piece 23. The character color sample piece 23 is composed of a transparent sheet 24, and an identification number 25 and a character color sample 26 are printed on the transparent sheet 24. The transparent sheet 24 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin such as an acrylic resin, a polyvinyl chloride resin, or a polycarbonate resin that is formed into a film shape or a plate shape. The identification number 25 is a unique number assigned to each character color sample piece 23 in order to identify the color of the character color sample 26.

  The character color sample 26 is a character string simulating time characters, and is composed of a plurality of types of character strings arranged concentrically. In general, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, or bar lines are used as time characters. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 3, these are divided and printed on three circumferences as character color samples 26. In addition, each character constituting the character color sample 26 changes in character size and thickness clockwise or counterclockwise on each circumference. In the example of FIG. 3, for example, for Arabic numerals, “1” is the smallest, the character size and thickness increase in the clockwise direction (arrow C direction), and “12” is the largest. Since the character color sample book 2 includes small and thin characters to large and thick characters for each of a plurality of types of characters in this way, time characters of various designs are simulated with one color sample piece. can do.

  The character string of the character color sample 26 is composed of characters formed on the transparent sheet 24 via a white background and characters formed on the transparent sheet 24 without a white background. Is done. In the example of FIG. 3, in the character color sample 26, the left half character 26L is a time character with a background, and the right half character 26R is a time character without a background. In FIG. 3, these differences are schematically shown by expanding the Arabic numerals “12” and “2” (reference numerals 27 and 28). When the time character is printed on the dial substrate through the white background, the color of the character itself is visible, but when the time character is printed without passing through the background, the color of the lower dial substrate and the color of the time character Therefore, the color development is different from the case where there is a white background. Since the character color sample book 2 includes two types of characters with different backgrounds in each color sample piece, the difference in color depending on the presence or absence of the background can be simulated with one color sample piece. Can do.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another example of the character color sample piece 23. In the example of FIG. 4 as well, as the color sample 26, Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, and bar-shaped hour characters are printed separately on three circles. Dots are also printed except for the position of. Each character has the same height and a different line thickness. In the example of FIG. 3, the thickness of the line of each character is the thinnest at 12 o'clock at 30 μm, and then becomes thicker in the clockwise direction, and the one at 11 o'clock is the thickest at 400 μm. The diameter of the dot printed on the bar line is also the same as the thickness of the character at the corresponding position, and increases in the clockwise direction.

  In general, a small area looks darker and a large area looks lighter, so characters of different sizes (that is, scaling while maintaining the ratio between the width and height of the characters) as in the example of FIG. Alternatively, characters with different line thicknesses may be included in the same sample piece as in the example of FIG. Alternatively, a plurality of characters having the same line thickness and different heights may be included in the same sample piece. In summary, it is better to include a plurality of characters of different sizes in the character color swatch, and the “size” here refers to the thickness of the lines that make up the characters and the area of the lines that make up the characters Is also included. By configuring the character color sample in this way, it is possible to check how the color appearance changes according to the area.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing a part of the resin color sample book 3. Similarly to the character color sample book 2, the resin color sample book 3 stores a plurality of color sample pieces side by side in a storage device such as a clear file in which a plurality of transparent pockets are formed on each page. Is. FIG. 5 shows one page of a clear file in which eight transparent pockets 32 are formed on each page. By placing one color sample piece 33 of resin in each transparent pocket 32, one page is displayed. An example in which eight resin color sample pieces 33 are stored side by side is shown. The resin color sample book 3 is horizontally long in the illustrated example, but may be vertically long. Reference numeral 31 indicates a base sheet which is a mount of each page of the clear file.

  The resin color sample piece 33 is, for example, a film-like, sheet-like, or plate-like member made of a synthetic resin, and includes resin color samples 34 to 37 that are colored so as to have translucency. Resin color samples 34 to 37 are color samples of a dial substrate (base material) that is superimposed on a solar cell in a timepiece that generates electricity using photoelectric conversion. An identification number 38 and a light transmittance value 39 are printed on the resin color sample piece 33. The identification number 38 is a unique number assigned to each resin color sample piece 33 in order to identify the colors of the resin color samples 34 to 37. The light transmittance value 39 is a numerical value indicating the light transmittance of the resin color samples 34 to 37.

  The thickness of the resin color swatch 33 is preferably the same as that of a standard dial. The reason is that even if the color tone is selected using the resin color sample piece 33 which is extremely thick or thin with respect to the dial used as a standard, the thickness is also included. This is because the texture may give an impression different from that of an actual dial. Generally, the thickness of the dial used as a standard is 400 μm, or a thickness of about 300 μm or 500 μm before and after that. Accordingly, the resin color swatch 33 may have a thickness of 300 μm to 500 μm. For example, if the thickness is 400 μm, various dials can be handled safely.

  In the resin color sample book 3, resin color samples 34 to 37 which are colored with the same colorant and have different surface states are formed on one color sample piece. The resin color swatches 34 to 37 are a specular finish color swatch, a rough Asahi (radial) finish swatch, a thin Asahi finish swatch, and a satin finish swatch. As described above, the resin color swatch book 3 includes a plurality of color swatches having different surface states related to the unevenness of the base material for each of the plurality of colors.

  The resin color sample book 3 includes a plurality of color samples having different light transmittances for each of a plurality of colors and a plurality of surface states. In FIG. 5, the resin color sample book 3 shows four color samples that are different from each other in the light transmittance range of 15% to 50% for each of the four color samples having the same color and different finishes. For example, a plurality of color sample pieces having different light transmittances can be created by changing the proportion of the same color pigment mixed in the resin that is the raw material of the resin color sample piece 33 in accordance with the transmittance. . In the timepiece with a solar cell, the light transmittance of the dial plate substrate is determined so that necessary power can be generated by the solar cell according to the performance of the movement of the timepiece. Therefore, by including a plurality of color samples having different light transmittances, it is possible to select a color sample having a light transmittance suitable for the dial substrate to be manufactured.

  The base sheet 31 is a mount made of paper that simulates the color of a solar cell for watches or a sheet of synthetic resin, etc., on which a transparent pocket 32 serving as a storage portion for storing a resin color sample piece 33 is formed. That is, in the resin color sample book 3, the base color of each transparent pocket 32 in which the resin color sample piece 33 is accommodated is a color imitating a solar cell arranged on the back side of the dial substrate. Further, in the resin color sample book 3, the area of the base sheet 31 is larger than the area of each resin color sample piece 33. Therefore, in the resin color sample book 3, a plurality of resin color sample pieces 33 are arranged at predetermined positions on the base sheet 31 of the same color as the solar cell. In the resin color swatch book 3, the base material of the same color as the color swatch is obtained in a state where the resin color swatch 33 is stored in the transparent pocket 32 of the storage tool without separately preparing a solar cell color sheet. You can see what color it will be when a solar cell is placed on the back of the.

  6 and 7 are diagrams for explaining a usage pattern of the color sample set 1. FIG. Here, the usage form in the case of selecting the color of the colored resin type timepiece dial will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the positional relationship when the base sheet 31, the resin color sample piece 33, and the character color sample piece 23 of the resin color sample book 3 are used.

  In the color sample set 1, the character color sample piece 23 is a transparent sheet, and the resin color sample pieces 34 to 37 are also translucent, and the character color sample piece 23 and the resin color sample piece 33. Is the right size. For this reason, unlike the conventional opaque color swatch, the three sheets of the solar cell base sheet 31, the resin color swatch 33, and the character color swatch 23 are overlapped in this order from the bottom. Thus, it is possible to simulate the same arrangement as an actual timepiece dial. Further, in the color sample set 1, a plurality of resin color sample pieces 33 are arranged on the base sheet 31, and a plurality of combinations of three sheets are arranged by overlapping the character color sample pieces 23 respectively. It is also possible to compare their appearances with each other.

  The color swatch set 1 is an actual watch character that takes into account the surface irregularities that greatly affect the color of the watch dial, the light transmittance condition, and the color condition of the ornament (time character). The appearance of the board can be simulated. That is, the color sample set 1 can simulate even a subtle color difference of the dial that does not stop with simple coloring on the transparent substrate. In particular, in a timepiece with a solar cell, the light transmitted through the timepiece dial is made to reach the solar cell arranged on the back of the dial, so that the light is incident on the surface of the dial, is reflected on the surface of the solar cell, and returns to the incident side. The optical characteristics of the light path up to this affect the appearance of the dial. The color sample set 1 can simulate the optical characteristics of such a timepiece dial, that is, the appearance of the timepiece dial closer to the real thing.

  By using the color sample set 1, the user can clearly grasp the appearance when the dial is actually made with the selected color, surface finish and light transmittance. Color can be easily shared between manufacturing departments, and the color adjustment process is simplified. For the manufacturing department, it is possible to easily produce a watch dial having an appearance intended by the designer by using colors corresponding to the identification numbers 25 and 38 of the color sample of the selected character and the resin color sample. Is possible.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a part of the color sample book 4 for printing. Similar to the character color sample book 2 and the resin color sample book 3, the print color sample book 4 is also provided with a plurality of color sample pieces in a storage device such as a clear file in which a plurality of transparent pockets are formed on each page. Are arranged side by side so as to be visible. FIG. 8 shows one page of a clear file in which eight transparent pockets 42 are formed on each page. By inserting one color print piece 43 into each transparent pocket 42, one page is printed. An example in which eight printing color sample pieces 43 are stored side by side is shown. The printed color sample book 4 is horizontally long in the illustrated example, but may be vertically long. Reference numeral 41 denotes a base sheet that is a mount of each page of the clear file.

  The color sample piece 43 for printing is prepared by coloring the surface of a film-like, sheet-like or plate-like member made of, for example, a synthetic resin so as to be translucent with a paint or the like. . The thickness of the printed color sample piece 43 is preferably about 300 μm to 500 μm, for example, 400 μm, like the resin color sample piece 33. The printed color sample pieces 43 include printed color samples 44 to 47 which are color samples of a dial substrate (base material) that is superimposed on a solar cell in a timepiece that generates electricity using photoelectric conversion. An identification number 48 and a light transmittance value 49 are printed on the printed color sample piece 43. The identification number 48 is a unique number assigned to each printing color sample piece 43 in order to identify the colors of the printing color samples 44 to 47. The light transmittance value 49 is a numerical value indicating the light transmittance of the printed color samples 44 to 47.

  Also in the color sample book 4 for printing, printing color samples 44 to 47 which are colored with the same colorant and have different surface states are formed on one color sample piece. The color samples 44 to 47 for printing are a color sample with a mirror finish, a color sample with a rough Asahi (radial) finish, a color sample with a thin Asahi light finish, and a color sample with a satin finish. Thus, the printed color sample book 4 also includes a plurality of color samples whose surface states related to the unevenness of the substrate are different from each other for each of the plurality of colors. In addition, the surface to which the paint or the like in the color sample piece 43 for printing is applied may be a surface that has been subjected to a plurality of surface finishes, or may be a surface on the opposite side.

  The printed color sample book 4 includes a plurality of color samples having different light transmittances for each of a plurality of colors and a plurality of surface states. In FIG. 8, the printed color sample book 4 shows four color samples that are different from each other in the light transmittance range of 15% to 50% for each of the four color samples having the same color and different finishes. For example, a plurality of color swatches having different light transmittances are created by differentiating the amounts of the same color paints colored on the surface of a member such as a synthetic resin to be a color swatch piece for printing. In this case, for a color sample having a large light transmittance, the print layer is formed thin on the color sample piece, and for a color sample having a small light transmittance, the print layer is formed thick on the color sample piece. The Or you may change the density | concentration of the coating material of the same color, and may form the color sample of printing from which a light transmittance differs mutually. In this case, for a color sample having a large light transmittance, the concentration of the coating material in the printing layer is lowered, and for a color sample having a small light transmittance, the concentration of the coating material in the printing layer is increased.

  Similar to the base sheet 31, the base sheet 41 is made of a sheet of paper or synthetic resin simulating the color of a solar cell for a watch, and has a transparent pocket 42 serving as a storage unit for storing a color sample piece 43 for printing. It is a mount to be formed. Also in the printing color sample book 4, the area of the base sheet 41 is larger than the area of each printing color sample piece 43. Therefore, also in the printing color sample book 4, a plurality of printing color sample pieces 43 are arranged at predetermined positions on the base sheet 31 of the same color as the solar cell. Even in the color sample book 4 for printing, the base material of the same color as that of the color sample can be obtained in a state where the color sample piece 43 for printing is stored in the transparent pocket 32 of the storage tool without preparing a sheet of the color of solar cell. You can see what color it will be when a solar cell is placed on the back of the.

  The resin color sample book 3 and the print color sample book 4 depend on whether the colored resin type shown in FIG. 14A or the print type shown in FIG. 14B is manufactured. Can be used properly. Also in the case of selecting the color of the printing type clock dial, only the printing color sample book 4 is used in place of the resin color sample book 3, and the usage pattern is shown in FIGS. Same as described.

  When further printing is performed on the surface of the colored resin type timepiece dial, both the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4 are used, and the base sheet 31 and the resin color sample are used. By superimposing the four pieces 33, the printed color sample pieces and the character color sample pieces 23, an actual timepiece dial can be similarly simulated.

  Resin color swatch 3 and printing color swatch 4 are mirror-finished color swatches, rough Asahi light (radial) finish color swatches, thin Asahi light finish color swatches, and satin finish. It is not necessary to include all of the color samples. Both color sample books may include, for example, only mirror-finished and satin-finished color samples, or only Asahi-finished color samples with different roughness. Alternatively, each color sample book may include a color sample having a predetermined uneven pattern such as concentric circles or parallel lines used on an actual timepiece dial in addition to the above four types. .

  5 and 8, the resin color swatch 33 and the printing color swatch 43 are divided into four, and four types of color swatches having the same color and different finishes are formed on one color swatch. However, the number of divisions may be three or less or five or more. Alternatively, one color sample piece may include only one color sample. For example, when two color samples are included in each of the resin color sample piece 33 and the printing color sample piece 43, the resin color sample pieces 36 and 37 in the resin color sample piece 33 and the print color sample piece 33 are printed. The respective color sample pieces may be formed in a size obtained by deleting the printed color samples 46 and 47 in the book piece 43. In this case, the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4 can be arranged in an array of 4 rows and 3 columns on each page of each sample book, for example. Further, the resin color swatch 33 and the printing color swatch 43 are divided into four parts, and the outer diameter shape and size thereof, or the resin color swatch 3 and the printing color swatch 4. Depending on the size per page, it can be arranged in an array of 3 rows and 3 columns, for example.

  In the examples of FIGS. 5 and 8, color samples having different surface states are combined into one color sample piece, and color samples having different light transmittances are formed in separate color sample pieces. A plurality of color samples having different light transmittances may be included in one color sample piece.

  Alternatively, a plurality of color samples having the same surface state and different colors may be included in one color sample piece, and the color samples having different surface conditions may be divided into separate color sample pieces. Further, in one color sample piece, both the surface state and the light transmittance may be the same, and color samples having different light transmittances may be divided into separate color sample pieces. In this case, for example, as described above, one color sample piece may be divided into four regions, and each color sample may be a similar color and a different color.

  The material of the resin color sample piece 33 and the printed color sample piece 43 is not limited to a synthetic resin, and may be one in which a large number of minute holes are formed in a metal plate to transmit light. Further, the character color sample piece 23, the resin color sample piece 33, and the printing color sample piece 43 are provided with a Teflon (registered trademark) coating or a laminate film to prevent contamination. You may attach it.

  In the illustrated example, the character color sample piece 23, the resin color sample piece 33, and the print color sample piece 43 are all stored in the transparent pockets 22, 32, 42 of the storage device. A part of each color sample piece (a part not used as a sample) may be exposed from the transparent pockets 22, 32 and 42. For example, with respect to the resin color sample piece 33, a portion where the identification number 38 and the light transmittance value 39 are printed at the upper end (portion where the sample color is not colored) is exposed from the transparent pocket 32, The resin color swatches 34 to 37 (portions where the sample color is colored) may be covered with the transparent pocket 32. In this case, the transparent pocket 32 is shown in FIG. 5 so as not to cover the portion where the identification number 38 and the light transmittance value 39 are printed even when the resin color swatch 33 is accommodated in the entire pocket. Smaller (height dimension is lower).

  The transparent pockets 22, 32, 42 of the storage device are not completely transparent, and portions that serve as samples of the character color sample piece 23, the resin color sample piece 33, and the print color sample piece 43 are provided. A semi-transparent material that can be visually recognized can also be applied.

  If you touch the colored part of the color swatch with your hand, the dirt will adhere and the dirt will reduce the visibility of the color, which will prevent you from judging the appropriateness of the color. May cause a change in quality and may hinder the determination of the suitability of the color. However, if the uncolored part is exposed from the transparent pocket to be the handle part, the color sample piece can be easily attached to the storage device without touching the colored part of the color sample piece. Can be put in and out.

  The entire portion on which the identification number 38 and the light transmittance value 39 are printed may not be exposed from the transparent pocket 32, and the lower portion of this portion is covered with the transparent pocket 32 and the upper portion can be gripped. It may be exposed.

  In addition, the resin color sample book 3 and the print color sample book 4 are arranged between the resin color sample piece 33 and the base sheet 31 or in the printing pockets 43 and 42 in the transparent pockets 32 and 42, respectively. A transflective plate may be further accommodated between the sheet 41. The transflective plate is a member having both functions of light transmission and light reflection, allows a part of incident light to pass through and enables solar cell power generation, and reflects part of the incident light to make the solar cell Do not see through. For this reason, for example, a semi-transparent reflecting plate is further accommodated in the resin color sample book 3, and the base sheet 31, the semi-transmissive reflecting plate, the resin color sample piece 33, and the character color sample piece 23 are used in use. By stacking the sheets, it is possible to more accurately simulate the appearance of the actual timepiece dial. As the transflective plate, for example, a reflective polarizing plate, or a plate in which a prism having a triangular cross section on a lower surface of a transparent plate material is formed in a stripe shape may be used.

  The dial has a standard thickness set to, for example, 500 μm. Therefore, the dial plate having the transflective plate has a total thickness of 500 μm between the transflective plate and the dial substrate 61A and the dial substrate 61B shown in FIGS. 14 (A) and 14 (B). Is set. Therefore, the thickness of the dial substrate 61A and the dial substrate 61B varies depending on the presence or absence of the semi-transmissive reflector.

  On the other hand, in particular, a colored resin has a large influence of the thickness on the color appearance. Since the appearance changes depending on the thickness, the resin color swatches can be of the same color, but with different thicknesses, depending on whether the transflective plate is used or not. It is preferable to provide a sample piece. For example, when the thickness of the dial plate is 500 μm and the thickness of the transflective plate is 130 μm, the resin color is set so that the combined thickness of the transflective plate and the dial plate is 500 μm. Two types of sample pieces, one having a thickness of 500 μm and one having a thickness of 370 μm, may be provided.

  FIG. 9A to FIG. 9C are explanatory diagrams of another usage pattern of the color sample set 1. FIG. 9A shows a state in which, for example, a resin color sample piece 33 and a character color sample piece 23 are arranged on a mount 72 having a transparent sheet 71 attached on one side. On the transparent sheet 71, as indicated by reference numeral 73, three sets of a watch case and a band are arranged side by side in the width direction. Further, the transparent sheet 71 is formed opaque except for the central portion 74 of the exterior case. FIG. 9B shows a state in which the transparent sheet 71 is folded back from the state shown in FIG. At this time, the mount 72, the resin color sample piece 33, the character color sample piece 23, and the transparent sheet 71 overlap in this order from the bottom.

  FIG. 9C is a top view of a state in which three sets of color sample pieces are arranged on the mount 72 so as to correspond to the three sets of exterior cases and bands, respectively, and the transparent sheet 71 is stacked on the mount 72. It is. In this way, it is possible to check the balance of the color tone as a watch when the dial is actually made with each color sample. Furthermore, for example, if the three-dimensional printing is performed so that the outer case and the band of the watch are raised, the texture of the watch can be further simulated. In this case, each color sample piece may be formed into an actual dial shape such as a circle or a polygon. However, by making the portion other than the central portion 74 of the transparent sheet 71 opaque, only the portion that becomes the dial is visually recognized through the transparent sheet 71, so that the color sample color is actually used regardless of the shape of the color sample piece. It is possible to simulate the state of making a watch.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the case of the resin color swatch 33 divided into four color swatches 34 to 37, one of the resin color swatches 34 to 37 is the center of the transparent sheet 71. The resin color swatch 33 is arranged so as to be positioned in the portion 74. In this case, the balance between one of the resin color samples 34 to 37 and the outer case and the band can be confirmed. Further, a plurality of resin color samples 34 to 37 are equally divided and visually recognized in the central portion 74 (for example, the color sample 34 is visually recognized on the left side of the central portion 74 and the color sample 35 is visually recognized on the right side. A resin color swatch 33 is placed. In this case, the balance between the plurality of color samples and the outer case and the band can be compared and confirmed.

  In the character color sample piece 23 shown in FIG. 9, the arrangement of characters is different from that shown in FIGS. FIG. 9 shows an example in which Arabic numerals, bar lines, and dots are arranged in accordance with the shape of the central portion 74 of the transparent sheet 71 as the character color sample piece 23.

  The exterior case and the band shown in FIG. 9 are examples. Of course, a plurality of types of exterior cases and bands may be used in the same manner as in FIG. 9 from exterior cases and bands of various shapes, sizes, colors, and materials.

  FIG. 10A is an explanatory diagram of a solar cell dividing line 54L. In general, the solar cell 54 in the watch is divided into a plurality of areas such as areas A1 to A4 shown in FIG. In the solar cell timepiece, the color difference between the areas A1 to A4 where the power generation layer is provided and the dividing line 54L which is a non-power generation area where the power generation layer is not provided and separates the areas A1 to A4 is conspicuous. It is desirable to select the color of the dial substrate so that the dividing line 54L is not conspicuous. Therefore, lines simulating the solar cell dividing line 54L are formed on the base sheets 31 and 41 of the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4 at positions corresponding to the arrangement positions of the respective color sample pieces. It may be.

  FIG. 10B is an explanatory diagram of another base sheet 31 ′. FIG. 10B shows another base sheet 31 ′ in which eight simulated dividing lines 31 </ b> L are formed in accordance with the arrangement positions of the eight resin color sample pieces 33 in the resin color sample book 3. . If the base sheet 31 ′ is used instead of the base sheets 31, 41, the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4 can also simulate whether the dividing lines 54 </ b> L are conspicuous on the dial substrate.

  Note that the position of the simulated dividing line on the base sheet may be different from that shown in FIG. For example, the simulated dividing line is a line segment connecting two points where the centers of the resin color samples 34 and 35 are arranged on the base sheet, or two points where the centers of the resin color samples 36 and 37 are arranged, respectively. It may be a connecting line segment. When the simulated dividing line is formed as described above, it is simulated whether the dividing line of the solar cell is conspicuous for each of the resin color samples 34 to 37 in a state where the resin color sample piece 33 is stored in the transparent pocket 32. be able to.

  As the base sheets 31 and 41, solar cell color sheets independent from the color sample book may be used. For example, a solar cell is imitated on the surface of a sheet formed in such a size that a plurality of character color sample pieces 23 and a plurality of resin color sample pieces 33 or a plurality of printed color sample pieces 43 can be arranged side by side. It is good to color and form an independent base sheet.

  As described above, when the base sheets 31 and 41 are formed separately from the mount of the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4, a storage pocket for inserting the base sheets 31 and 41 is formed on the mount. Good. For example, a transparent pocket for a mount is formed on a transparent first sheet formed in the size of the mount, and a transparent or opaque second sheet is overlapped on the back side of the first sheet so that the three sides of both are It is advisable to attach them by bonding or the like, and insert an independent base sheet from the remaining one side and store it between the first sheet and the second sheet.

  In particular, the base sheet 41 of the color sample book 4 for printing is preferably replaceable as necessary. For example, when the background color of the dial substrate is light-transmitting white and a color to be colored by printing on this surface side is selected, the base sheet 41 of the printed color sample book 4 is visually recognized through the solar cell. The light-transmitting white color is good. That is, the color of the base sheet of the color sample book 4 for printing is not limited to the color of the solar cell, but may be a color imitating the color of the base material to which the color selected in this color sample book is directly colored.

  Further, the mount (base sheet 21) of the character color sample book 2 may hold the character color sample pieces 23 in a form different from the transparent pocket 22. For example, four cuts crossing these four corners are formed at positions on the mount corresponding to the vicinity of the four corners of the character color sample piece 23, and the front side of the ledger is formed through the corresponding cuts at the four corners of the character color sample piece 23. It may be inserted and held on the back side. The same applies to the mounts of the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4.

  In the above, the character color sample book 2 is shown as an example of the second color sample group including the color sample of the ornament, but the ornament is not limited to the character (index) imitating the time character, but the company name or brand It may be a character such as a name, or any other symbol, mark (for example, star), pattern or figure. Further, the ornament may be a three-dimensional object such as a clock typesetting or a metal part such as a clock hand. The color sample of the decorative object is not limited to one printed with ink, but may be one formed by metal vapor deposition or plating. Or you may form the color sample of a decoration by sticking the transfer seal | sticker in which the character, the mark, the figure, etc. were formed on the transparent sheet. The color sample set may include a color sample book including a color sample of such an ornament instead of the character color sample book 2 or in addition to the character color sample book 2.

  The color sample set does not necessarily have the character color sample book 2. For example, the color sample set may have only two of the resin color sample book 3 and the print color sample book 4, or only one of the resin color sample book 3 and the print color sample book 4. You may have.

  Alternatively, solar cells themselves may be used as the base sheets 31 and 41. That is, the solar cell itself may be applied to the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4 in place of the base sheets 31 and 41 having colors similar to solar cells. In this case, the solar cell for a watch on which the dividing line 54L is formed is formed in the same shape as the mount (base sheets 31, 41) of the resin color sample book 3 and the printed color sample book 4 and each color sample book. It is preferable to provide a storage pocket for the above-mentioned mount and store a solar cell in the shape of the mount as a base sheet in the storage pocket. In addition, solar cells that are actually incorporated in a watch may be arranged side by side and used as the base sheets 31 and 41.

  There are various types of solar cells used in wristwatches that differ in external shape, presence / absence of a calendar window, position of a dividing line, and the like. Also, the same type of solar cell has a different color depending on the manufacturer, or even the same type of solar cell has a slightly different color for each solar cell. All of these solar cell differences can affect the color of the dial. Therefore, in order to be able to select a color under conditions closer to an actual timepiece, it is preferable that the color of the dial can be confirmed on the ledger according to the type of solar cell. Therefore, the color sample set 1 may include a solar cell ledger that accommodates the plurality of types of actual solar cells as another base sheet in addition to the base sheets 31 and 41, or only the solar cell ledger may be provided as the base sheet 31. , 41 may be used as a base sheet.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a part of the solar cell ledger 10. The solar cell ledger 10 is obtained by pasting a plurality of types of solar cells 11 incorporated into a watch on an A4 size (297 × 210 mm) mount 12, and includes a resin color sample piece 33 and a printed color sample piece 43. The base sheets 31 and 41 are used together. In the solar cell ledger 10, for example, three solar cells 11 of the same type are arranged horizontally, and these are arranged in 10 columns vertically. That is, in the solar cell ledger 10, 30 solar cells are arranged. However, this arrangement number may be any number. For example, in the solar cell ledger 10, two solar cells 11 of the same type may be arranged side by side.

  On the right side of the solar cell 11 in each row, a caliber number 13 indicating the type of movement of the watch that uses the solar cell 11 attached to that row as a sample is described. In addition, a caliber name 14 indicating the type and caliber of the solar cell 11 attached to the column is described at the upper left of the solar cell 11 in each column. For example, the caliber of the movement of the watch used as a sample of the solar cell 11 pasted on the first column of the solar cell ledger 10 is AA1, AA2, AA3, AA4, AA5,. The affixed solar cell 11 is for caliber AA1.

  The caliber of a wristwatch is classified as follows, for example. The caliber AA group is classified as a caliber that uses a solar cell that is the size of a male watch and has almost the same color and no calendar window. The caliber BB group is classified as a caliber that uses a solar cell that is the same size and color of the men's watch and has a different color from the caliber AA group. The caliber CC group is classified into a caliber using a solar cell having a calendar window size and the same color as the caliber AA group. The caliber DD group is classified as a caliber that uses a solar cell that is the same size and color of a female watch and has no calendar window.

  In the solar cell ledger 10, one representative solar cell is selected from each caliber group. 1, No. 1 It is pasted as 2, ... As a typical solar cell, for example, the one for the largest external size is selected from each caliber group. When the outer size or outer shape of the solar cell affects the selection of the color, these may also be used as the caliber group classification conditions.

  As the mount 12, for example, A3 size (420 × 297 mm) thick paper folded in half at the center of its long side is used. A plurality of solar cells 11 are affixed to the A4 size region on the right side of the inner surface of the mount 12 with double-sided tape or the like. Further, the solar cell ledger 10 is filed with holes in a plurality of locations on the left side with the mount 12 folded. By directly superimposing the resin color sample piece 33 or the printed color sample piece 43 on the solar cell 11 without a protective film, the influence of the color by the solar cell can be achieved under conditions close to the actual dial. Can be simulated. Discoloration of the solar cell 11 due to direct sunlight or the like can be prevented by closing the A4 size area on the left side of the mount 12 as a cover. The material of the mount 12 may be other than paper as long as it can be bent and is opaque.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of a usage pattern of the solar cell ledger 10. First, the user searches for a caliber to be used for the product from the caliber numbers 13 written on the right side of the mount 12. For example, when the caliber employed in the product is BB3, the resin color swatch 33 or printing is performed on the solar cell 11 pasted in the column “No. 2” including “BB3” in the caliber number 13. The color sample pieces 43 are stacked. FIG. 12 shows an example in which resin color sample pieces 33 are stacked. Furthermore, the color sample piece 23 of a character is also piled up on it.

  In the solar cell ledger 10, a plurality of solar cells 11 are pasted on the mount 12, so that by arranging a plurality of combinations in which three different color sample pieces are stacked on the same three solar cells 11, Can be compared with each other in appearance (color). In the solar cell ledger 10, the same type of solar cells 11 are arranged in the horizontal direction of the mount 12, and different types of solar cells 11 are arranged in the vertical direction of the mount 12. This is because it is easier to compare the combinations in which the color sample pieces are stacked in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction. However, it is also possible to arrange the combinations of the same color sample pieces in the vertical direction on the mount 12 and compare the appearances of the calibers with each other.

  The resin color samples 34 to 37 are preferably large enough to cover almost the entire solar cell 11. Then, when any one of the resin color samples 34 to 37 included in the resin color sample piece 33 is stacked on one solar cell 11, the solar cell 11 arranged next to the solar color sample piece 33 is the color sample piece. The two solar cells 11 in each row may be spaced apart so that they do not overlap with each other, or even if they overlap. The same applies to the color sample piece 43 for printing.

  Furthermore, as another method of using the solar cell ledger 10, it is also possible to place the produced dial on the solar cell ledger 10 at the time of producing the dial and check whether or not the solar cell dividing line is visible.
