RELO-T DE PULSERA T-WRIST WATCH
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención tiene por objeto un reloj de pulsera analógico que incorpora una plaquita de configuración circular en correspondencia con la esfera en la que se encuentran los números o marcas correspondientes a las horas y o minutos, disponiendo la plaquita de medios de desplazamiento de la misma que facilitan su giro cubriendo o destapando la esfera haciendo posible la visualización de los números o marcas de la esfera cuando así se requiera.The object of the present invention is an analog wristwatch that incorporates a circular configuration insert in correspondence with the sphere in which the numbers or marks corresponding to the hours and minutes are located, providing the insert of displacement means thereof which They facilitate its rotation covering or uncovering the sphere making it possible to visualize the numbers or marks of the sphere when required.
Se trata de que la plaquita únicamente descubra la esfera cuando el usuario quiera conocer la hora, estando previsto que la plaquita incorpore motivos decorativos o publicitarios que hacen mas vistoso el reloj en la situación de recubrimiento.It is that the insert only discovers the sphere when the user wants to know the time, being provided that the insert incorporates decorative or advertising motifs that make the watch more colorful in the coating situation.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los relojes de pulsera son utilizados en ocasiones para hacer promociones publicitarias de determinados productos, realizándose con materiales plásticos baratos en colores que resultan ser de un gran impacto visual. Generalmente el logotipo o leyenda publicitaria se graba sobre la esfera del reloj con objeto de que cuando se compruebe la posición de las manecillas se visualice el mensaje que aparece sobre dicha esfera.Wristwatches are sometimes used to make advertising promotions of certain products, made with cheap plastic materials in colors that turn out to be of great visual impact. Generally, the logo or advertising legend is engraved on the watch face so that when the position of the hands is checked, the message that appears on the dial is displayed.
En otras ocasiones los fabricantes de relojes tratan de ofrecer un producto exclusivo de una determinada estética que resulte ser un elemento decorativo mas,, al igual que lo son las pulseras u otros adornos que llevan los usuarios en la muñeca.On other occasions the watch manufacturers try to offer an exclusive product of a certain aesthetic that turns out to be a more decorative element, as are the bracelets or other ornaments worn by users on the wrist.
Con este motivo las tendencias de diseño se centran en la decoración de la esfera del reloj con dibujos o figuras de gran contraste cromático, las cuales normalmente cubren el espacio habilitado para las marcas o números dificultando de esta forma la comprobación de la posición exacta en la que se encuentran las agujas.For this reason, the design trends focus on the decoration of the watch face with drawings or figures of great chromatic contrast, which normally cover the space enabled for the marks or numbers making it difficult to verify the exact position in the The needles are found.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE IA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención consiste en un reloj de pulsera que puede ser utilizado como soporte para incorporar motivos decorativos, publicitarios, etc, y que permite la visualización de la posición de las manecillas sobre las marcas o números de la esfera cuando así se requiera, incorporando a tal efecto una plaquita circular giratoria situada interiormente al reloj en un plano inferior al de las agujas, de forma que es desplazable sobre la esfera penetrando a través de una abertura radial practicada sobre la misma cubriendo o destapando la esfera dependiendo de cual sea su situación.The present invention consists of a wrist watch that can be used as a support to incorporate decorative, advertising motifs, etc., and which allows the display of the position of the hands on the marks or numbers of the dial when required, incorporating such effect is a rotating circular insert located internally to the clock in a plane inferior to that of the hands, so that it is movable on the sphere penetrating through a radial opening made on it covering or uncovering the sphere depending on its situation.
La plaquita circular presenta una ranura radial que define dos lados extremos, encontrándose el lado inferior permanentemente introducido por debajo de la esfera, penetrando por esta abertura el resto de la plaquita en su movimiento giratorio, de tal forma que durante su desplazamiento va descubriendo las marcas o números de la esfera facilitando su visualización.The circular insert has a radial groove that defines two extreme sides, the bottom side being permanently inserted below the sphere, penetrating through this opening the rest of the insert in its rotating movement, so that during its movement it discovers the marks or numbers of the sphere facilitating its visualization.
Puede decirse que la plaquita presenta lateralmente una forma helicoidal con el lado radial inferior ligeramente avanzado respecto al superior al objeto de evitar que dicho lado inferior sobresalga superiormente a la abertura de la esfera en la posición de cubrimiento total de la plaquita sobre la esfera.It can be said that the insert has a helical shape laterally with the lower radial side slightly advanced with respect to the upper one in order to prevent said lower side from protruding superiorly to the opening of the sphere in the position of total coverage of the insert on the sphere.
La plaquita presenta lateralmente un sector dentado que engrana en una ruedecilla dispuesta perpendiculármente a la esfera del reloj, de forma que al girar la rueda, bien por accionamiento manual o eléctrico, la plaquita gira introduciéndose o saliendo de la esfera dependiendo de cual sea el sentido de giro de la ruedecilla.The insert presents laterally a toothed sector that engages in a caster arranged perpendicularly to the watch face, so that when the wheel is turned, either by manual or electric actuation, the insert rotates by entering or leaving the dial depending on the direction of rotation of the wheel.
La plaquita circular puede incorporar un dibujo, leyenda, etc, que es visualizado en la situación de recubrimiento de la esfera y que se oculta debajo de la misma al girar la plaquita circular cuando se pretende comprobar la posición de las agujas del reloj respecto a los números o marcas.The circular insert can incorporate a drawing, legend, etc., which is visualized in the situation of covering the dial and which is hidden under it when the circular insert rotates when it is intended to check the position of the clockwise with respect to the numbers or marks
La plaquita se encuentra guiada lateralmente en su giro por resaltes que limitan el desplazamiento en sentido vertical de la plaquita con objeto de que no tropiecen con las agujas situadas superiormente.The insert is guided laterally in its turn by projections that limit the vertical displacement of the insert so that they do not trip over the needles located above.
