Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to the field of watch technology, to watch mechanisms with an arrow display of time, and, more specifically, to watch mechanisms of a complicated type with additional functions of separate display on a watch of the current period of the day before noon and afternoon and current time in current periods of the day before noon and after noon.

BACKGROUND

Separate counting of day and night hours has been known since ancient times. The daily change of day and night gave humanity a reason to highlight the first units of time.

The earliest hours, the solar gnomons, for obvious reasons, "worked" only in the daytime, and their dial was traditionally divided into twelve parts corresponding to twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Chronologist of the XX century Elias Bickerman, a professor at Columbia University in the United States, reports: “The division into hours is first observed in Egypt. Already around 2100 BC Egyptian priests used the system from 24 hours: 10 hours. day, 2 hours of twilight and 12 night hours. This scheme, based on the decimal count, is about 1300 BC. was replaced by a simpler system in which day and night were allotted for 12 hours. The Babylonians also assigned 12 hours a day and night. The Greeks, according to Herodotus, adopted this system from the Babylonians ”[1].

The dial of any watch is primarily intended to indicate the current time of day.

Historically, there are two types of dials - with a twelve-hour (12-hour) and twenty-four-hour (24-hour) breakdowns.

The 12-hour dial is much older than its 24-hour one, since it appeared in ancient Babylon and Egypt, and served to indicate daylight hours with the help of the gnomon.

In the early mechanical watches, a 24-hour dial prevailed.

Famous watches with a 24-hour dial include the astronomical clock Giovanni Dondi, created by him in the mid-14th century [2].

Often the 24-hour dial had a dual duodecimal display with the division of hour markers into daytime (usually on the right side of the dial) and night (on the left side) hours.

From the 15th to 16th centuries, the 12-hour dial has taken a dominant position, as a simpler and more economical option - in the sense of the number of hours occupied by the place on the dial.

24-hour dials began to be used mainly for complex watches, such as astronomical or chronometers.

Currently, 24-hour dials, especially in wrist and pocket watches, are practically not used, although they allow you to accurately and unambiguously show the current time of day.

Dials with a 12-hour scale possessed and have one uncomfortable feature - day and night hours on them are displayed the same, with the same numbers, signs or symbols, which often leads to an erroneous determination of time in the daytime and at night.

This was not difficult in the era of sundials, because the gnomons simply could not physically display the night hours due to the absence of sun at night in the sky.

With the advent of mechanical watches operating at any time of the day, this monotony began to cause certain difficulties, especially in foggy weather, when morning is like evening, or during periods of polar days and nights.

To prevent such confusion, resourceful watchmakers in watches with a 12-hour dial introduced such an hour extension as an am / pm indicator of the day and night hours (from Latin - ante meridiem / post meridiem - until noon / afternoon).

Traditionally, am / pm was indicated using a rotating disc painted in light and dark colors. Sometimes the images of the Moon and the Sun were applied to the disk, which also corresponded to night and day hours. The disk rotated at a speed of one revolution in 24 hours and sequentially delimited the day into two periods - day and night.

Thus, traditional mechanical indicators of day and night in a watch suggest a two-phase format of the daily cycle or two periods of the day. For example, a device is known that allows the days of the week to be displayed in one color - at night and in the morning until 12 noon and in a different color - in the afternoon and evening after twelve hours [GB 2017356].

In all mechanical watches there is a clock mechanism, issuing certain time intervals to the actuator [3].

The main components of the clock mechanism are: a regulator (oscillator - oscillatory system), descent (travel system), the main wheel system, engine, switch mechanism (actuator), mechanism of the spring plant and the movement of the hands (repair).

The regulator controls the operation of the stroke, regulates the opening of the spring or lowering the weight. Oscillations of the regulator, ensuring the uniformity of the clock, are strictly periodic.

The descent is an intermediate node of the mechanism. It interacts with the main wheel system and the regulator.

The descent periodically releases the gear train and converts the spring energy into pulses transmitted to the regulator to maintain its oscillations. With the help of the descent, the controller controls the rotation of the gear transmission in such a way that with each half-oscillation of the wheel, the wheels rotate at certain angles, the value of which depends on the design of the descent and the number of gear teeth.

The main wheel system consists of gears and performs two functions: transfers energy from the engine through the descent to the regulator and counts the number of oscillations of the regulator. Through the main wheel system, movement is transmitted to the switch mechanism.

The engine - a clockwork spring or weight is the source of energy in the watch. It stores energy, and then for a long time drives the regulator through the wheel system and supports its vibrations, and also rotates the arrows.

The switch mechanism transmitting movement from the main wheel system to the arrows consists of a system of gears and tribes.

The mechanism of the winding of the spring and the translation of the hands makes it possible to manually set the clock spring and set the hands in the desired position. This mechanism consists of a crown with a crown, a system of levers and gears.

The dial mechanism serves in hours for continuous counting of the number of oscillations made by the regulator and for displaying this count in generally accepted units of time (hour, minute).

The hands, continuously moving, indicate the time on the watch dial.

The switch mechanism usually consists of a minute tribe (minute book), a bill wheel and a clock wheel. In a wall clock with a battle, the minute tribe has an additional one or two pins for unlocking the combat mechanism (or a lifting washer with two wings).

The principle of operation of the dial mechanism in all watches is usually the same. In contrast to the transmission mechanism, in the switch mechanism, the leading link is the tribe, and the driven one is the wheel. The main function of the switch mechanism is to set the hands in motion to indicate the time on the dial.

In a normal watch with a 12-hour dial, the clock mechanism is performed with the possibility of completing the clockwise two full revolutions per day.

In watches with a 24-hour dial, the clock mechanism is performed with the possibility of clockwise making one full revolution per day.

In addition to the main function of the watch - time display - modern mechanical watches often perform additional display functions, such as displaying the day of the week, day of the month, phase of the moon.

Known electronic-mechanical clock with indication of the day and night of the author Chesnovsky D.V., containing a pairing interface to which a navigator, time unit, solar calculator and display unit are connected, characterized in that a calculator connected to the pairing interface is introduced therein [4 ].

Known clockwork with a dial indication company Eberhard E Co. Sa (CH) of the authors Brand Charles (CH), Jeanne Pierre (CH), which has additional functions and mechanisms, in which ensuring the readability of the indication, the clock mechanism contains movable elements designed to fix on them the hands indicating the hours and minutes of the current time, mounted with the possibility of rotation relative to the first axis (AA), located in the center of this clockwork, and four movable elements, designed to place arrows on them, providing an indication of additional functions. According to the invention, said four movable elements are mounted to rotate on this clockwork relative to the second (B-B), third (C-C), fourth (D-D) and fifth (E-E) axes located on one straight line (X-X) perpendicular to these axes. In this case, the second (BB) and fifth (EE) axes of rotation can form with the aforementioned first axis of rotation (AA) the vertices of an isosceles triangle (ABE), the base of which is located on the said line, and the angle at the vertex (A) of this triangle can be range from 120 ° to 180 ° [5].

There are well-known companies such as TAG HOYER SA (CH) BELING Christophe (GB), RENO Gregoire (CH), TOM STONE (CH), capable of displaying information independent of absolute time, which is easy to read to obtain auxiliary functions of the watch due to the fact that the watch is equipped multifunctional window display tool capable of displaying characters corresponding to one or more special functions and date. The movement of the display discs is provided by reversible electric motors. Display discs or mobile devices have several series of digits of different colors to differentiate the display of various functions [6].

Ways to display on the clock of the current period of the day before noon and afternoon and current time in the current periods of the day before noon and after noon and hours such functions in the scope of the search was not found.

The closest in technical essence and achieved technical result (prototype) are TAG HOYER SA (CH) watches by Beling Christoph (GB) and Reno Gregoire (CH) with two information windows, the first of which displays dozens for a date from the first sequence of readings carried by the first movable display means on its surface; in the second, a window for displaying the units for the date from the number of readings carried by the second movable display means on its the surface of at least one actuator associated with the movable display means for performing their rotation in step order for the appearance of a reading selected from among the specified sequence. Moreover, according to the invention, for at least one of the stepping positions of the first movable display means, one additional indication independent of tens for the date is displayed simultaneously in the same window [7 (prototype)].

TASK AND TECHNICAL RESULT

The objective and technical result of the present invention is the ability to display in a clock with a 12-hour division of the dial of the two-period daily cycle - before noon and afternoon for a clear and unambiguous demarcation of daytime hours and nighttime hours with an indication on the 12-hour dial corresponding to the period of day hour numbers. This method of indicating the daily time is more complete and accurate and allows you to completely eliminate errors associated with the indication on the 12-hour dial of different clock values in different periods of the day with the same numbers, signs or symbols.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The inventive method of indicating on a watch with a 12-hour dial the current time in a two-period daily cycle format - before noon and afternoon, with a clear differentiation of the day into the corresponding two periods - before noon and afternoon and an unambiguous alternating indication on the dial of the numbers of the hour, exactly corresponding to the values of the hour numbers of the current period of the day before noon and afternoon.

Characteristic features of the invention are:

Possibility and means of indicating the period of the day defined for the current time - before noon or after noon, indicating on the dial the values of the hour numbers that exactly correspond to the hour numbers of the corresponding period of the day, as well as indicating the current period of the day - before noon or after noon.

The hour number indicator is made in the form of 12 windows (apertures) on the dial and located under the dial of the dial of hour numbers, which has 12 values of the hour numbers and which once every 12 hours and alternately moves back and forth at an angle of 10 to 20, mostly 15 degrees.

The center of rotation of the hour dial is the clockwise axis. The sequence of numbers on the disk is 1, 13, 2, 14, 3, 15, 4, 16, 5, 17, 6, 18, 7, 19, 8, 20, 9, 21, 10, 22, 11, 23 , 12, 24 (or 0) or 13, 1, 14, 2, 15, 3, 16, 4, 17, 5, 18, 6, 19, 7, 20, 8, 21, 9, 22, 10, 23 , 11, 24 (or 0), 12. in Arabic, Roman or other spelling of the digits of the numbers of the hour.

The means of indicating the period of the day can be performed as a window (aperture) on the dial with a disk switching under it with the values of the periods of the day, or consisting of a dial with the values of the periods of the day and a pointer on it.

Switching the means of indicating the period of the day is regularly done 2 times a day every 12 hours with the simultaneous switching of the means of indicating the numbers of hours of the corresponding period of the day.

The indications of the indication of the current period of the day are related to the indications of the indication of the numbers of hours of the current period of the day by the following relationships:

Until noon - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

In the afternoon - 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 (0 - as a possible, but not required alternative to the number of hours 24)

Switching the means of indicating the hour numbers and means of indicating the period of the day can occur both instantly and in slow motion, for example within a few minutes.

Switching the means of indicating the number of hours and means of indicating the period of the day occurs after a complete turn of the clockwise and reaching the clockwise value of 12 hours for the values of the period of the day before noon or, accordingly, 24 hours after 23 hours for the values of the period of the day after noon.

IMPLEMENTATION AND INDUSTRIAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INVENTION

The basic clockwork and the clock system can be virtually any of the known and used in watchmaking when they perform their usual functions for watches.

The means for switching the hour numbers performs the function of switching once every twelve hours the means of indicating the numbers of hours on the dial and switching the corresponding period of the day and can work both from the clock wheel of the dial system and from the means of switching the periods of the day.

The means for switching the hour numbers must be synchronized interconnected with the means for switching the periods of the day so that the readings of the numbers of the hours correspond to certain periods of the day, which can be done, for example, by alternately moving the means for indicating the numbers of hours every 12 hours forward and backward up to an angle of 15 degrees, as shown in one embodiment of the inventive device, with the possibility of regular display in the windows of the dial of certain hours corresponding to a certain period of the day.

The hour number display means performs the function of indicating the hour numbers on the dial according to certain periods of the day and is set in motion once every twelve hours by means of switching the hour numbers and can, for example, be made in the form of a disk with the values printed on it (Fig.6, 7) , or inscriptions, or signs indicating the number of hours of the corresponding periods of the day, rotating around its axis and showing on the dial the corresponding value of the hour numbers of the corresponding periods of the day.

The indicated disk of the numbers of hours 2, as shown in the example of one of the variants of the structural design of the device, can make a cyclical alternate movement every 12 hours back and forth up to an angle of 15 degrees and show in the windows on the dial the numbers of the hour corresponding to certain periods of the day (Fig. 1- 4, 8, 9, 18).

For example, this can be done in the form of a dial with 12 windows (apertures) arranged coaxially in the hour and minute hands at the same distance, in which the hour numbers are displayed on the indicated disk.

The means for switching the periods of the day performs the function of cyclically switching the means for indicating the period of the day and is a device coupled to the clock wheel of the arrow system with the ability to switch once every twelve hours to cyclically indicate the period of the day before noon and afternoon by means of indicating the corresponding period of the day.

The means for indicating the period of the day, which performs the function of indicating the periods of the day, is driven once every twelve hours by means of switching the periods of the day, and can be made in the form of a disk with the following values: inscriptions or signs indicating the periods before noon and afternoon, AM and RM, or an arrow rotating around its axis and showing on the dial the corresponding value of the period of the day (Fig. 19) before noon and after noon. The number of printed values in all cases should be a multiple of 2 (two), and the disk or arrow should preferably rotate in one direction.

The drawings clearly demonstrate the principle of operation of the watch according to the invention, which consists in dividing the time of day into 2 equal periods of the day - until noon and afternoon, making it possible to alternate them every 12 hours and correspondingly display them on the dial in a special window or indicate them by the arrow on the designated for this option, the dial (Fig.19).

The means of indicating the periods of the day in the inventive device is switched once every 12 hours, and the hour hand in this watch makes one revolution in 12 hours.

The means for indicating the periods of the day at the same time switches to one position once every twelve hours, and shows one of two values of the periods of the day (before noon and after noon).

Simultaneously with switching the means of indicating the periods of the day, the means for indicating the hour numbers switches with the corresponding indication in the windows of the dial of the readings of the hour numbers with their cyclic change, respectively, with

until noon - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,

on

in the afternoon - 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.

The dial of the proposed watches in a preferred, but not mandatory embodiment, has several windows (apertures):

a) one window, intended for alternating indication of the periods of the day before noon and afternoon;

b) twelve windows located around the perimeter of the dial, designed to indicate the hour numbers in one of the corresponding periods of the day (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 ... 24 )

Instead of these windows, other methods of displaying information about the periods of the day can also be used, for example, arrows on the dial (Fig. 19) and other means performing this function.

It is also possible the absence of an aperture (window) or arrow means indicating the time before and after noon.

The indication of the period of the day can be made on the disk of the periods of the day or, directly, on the dial in the form of inscriptions of the periods of the day “before noon”, “after noon”, “AM”, “RM” in any language and any font, and can also be done in the form of digital symbols, for example, 1, 2, with symbols, signs, abbreviations, images or a certain color corresponding to certain periods of the day.

For the clock, it is possible to use almost any clock mechanism used for analog time display. Both quartz and mechanical.

The watch according to the invention can be made in various versions of the design while performing the required functions and individual components of the watch and watch as a whole.

Figure 1-21 shows the drawings of possible, but not required, options for the design of the invention as a whole and its individual components and mechanisms.

A device for implementing the method in general is a clock mechanism with a system of alternating displays of the current time of the main two periods of the day - before noon and afternoon.

The minute hand 10 is mounted on the minute tribe, and the hour hand is placed on the clock wheel hub.

A snail-pusher 19 is rigidly mounted on the axis of the watch wheel, which, rotating with the watch wheel once in an hour, engages with the finger of the platoon of the shift lever of the parts of the day 16, lifts the shift lever of the periods of the day 15.

Tearing off the cochlea spring-loaded spring of the lever 18, the lever with its switching tooth 17, turns the sprocket 20 by one position.

To avoid free rotation, sprocket 20 is fixed by latch 21.

With an asterisk 20, a large wheel for switching periods of the day 23 is rigidly connected.

The large wheel for switching periods of the day engages with a small wheel for switching periods of the day 22, freely located on the axis of the clock wheel.

The gear ratio of the large and small wheels of the periods of the day is 2.

Together with the small wheel of the periods of the day, the disk of the periods of the day 4 is rigidly connected.

The calculation is made in such a way that once every twelve hours when turning by one position of the sprocket, the disk of the periods of the day rotates by one position and shows one period of the day in the window (aperture) of the periods of the day 8. The number of positions of the disk of the periods of the day can only be a multiple of 2 e.g. 2, 4, 8, etc.

The wheel of the 24 hour number switching drive is rigidly connected to the small wheel of the periods of the day and the disk of the periods of the day.

With it engages the second wheel of switching the numbers of hours 29.

With a second wheel of hour numbers, the first wheel of hour numbers 25 engages.

A finger for switching the hour numbers of the first wheel 26 is rigidly fixed on the first wheel of the hour numbers, and a finger for switching the hour numbers of the second wheel 28 is rigidly fixed on the second wheel of the hour number.

Once every six hours, when the wheels of the hour number switch are turned, the wheels 29 and 25 start to rotate at the same time. The fingers 26 and 28 located on them alternately shift the stop of the disk of the numbers of hours 27 to one and the other side.

The dial of numbers of the hour 2 times in six hours alternately turns forward and backward. The rotation angle is preferably a maximum of 30 degrees.

The lock of the dial of the numbers of the hour 31 spring-loaded spring of the clamp of the disk of the numbers of the hour 32 fixes the movable disk of the numbers of the hour in the depressions of the fixation disk of the numbers of the hour 30.

For twelve hours on the dial 6 in the windows of the numbers of hours 7 we see twelve values of the numbers of the hour, which every twelve hours alternately change from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 during the day before noon at 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 during the day after noon then again at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

At the same time, in the window of the day period, we see one of the values of the day period - before noon or after noon.

Correspondence of the time of the day to the hour:

until noon - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12;

in the afternoon - 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 (or 0).

In watches, this method of separate indication of the time of two main periods of the day (before noon and afternoon) was not previously used.

The invention allows to clearly distinguish between daytime hours and nighttime hours and to eliminate possible errors in determining the time due to the usual indication of different hours in the daytime and nighttime with the same numbers on ordinary dials with a 12-hour breakdown.

The invention will be useful for people who monitor their health, since the basis of many diets, as well as in the medication system, is usually the two-phase daily time format.

The proposed indication will also be useful to religious people seeking to perform morning and evening prayers.

In addition, this type of daily cycle indication is for business people who want to structure their daily time as much as possible.

Such an indication is also useful for people living in rural areas, where the concept of morning and evening is more pronounced and various works related to the care of plants and animals depend on them.

The advantage of this invention, which compares favorably with other daily indicators, is an accurate indication of the current time of day and the clarity of the display due to nature of the main periods of the day before noon and afternoon.

An important additional advantage of this invention is also the preservation of the usual clarity of the reading time at almost doubled values of the numbers of hours.

Thus, a causal relationship between the essential features of the invention and the technical result is shown, and the required technical result is achieved, namely, the possibility of indicating the new previously unused in the mechanical watches two-period daily cycle format (before noon and afternoon) for a clear and unambiguous delimitation of daytime hours from night hours with an indication on the dial of hundreds of values of the hour numbers corresponding to the current period.

This method of indicating the daily time is more complete, more accurately reflects the real picture of natural time, corresponds to the internal biological cycles of a person and helps to increase the clarity of time reading due to the practical increase in the information on the dial by half.

As options for the execution of individual elements of the case, parts, assemblies of the device and watch claimed as an invention, various known, traditional for watch production technologies, materials and structural solutions commonly used in watch technology can be used [10-14].
