Description

Magnifier

The present invention relates to a magnifying glass device attached to an information display device worn on the wrist.

In recent years, wristwatch-type personal digital assistants have become widespread and widely used. This portable information terminal is worn on the wrist and used, and the information display surface corresponding to the dial of the wristwatch is composed of a touch panel, and information is displayed on the touch panel. By operating the touch panel, the user can select and display the necessary information.

It is possible to display a lot of information on the information display surface of the mobile information terminal. However, this personal digital assistant has the same size as a wristwatch, and the displayed characters and figures are small, which may make it difficult for some users to read. In such a case, the user can display characters, figures, and the like in a large size by operating the touch panel. However, doing so reduces the amount of information displayed on one screen and requires frequent scrolling. In order to make characters and figures easier to read without reducing the amount of information displayed on one screen, a magnifying glass may be used. Moreover, not only in mobile information terminals but also in ordinary wristwatches, the dial becomes easier to read by using a magnifying glass. Therefore, it has been proposed that a magnifying glass is attached to an information display device worn on the wrist, such as a wristwatch.

As a wristwatch with a magnifying glass attached, a loupe is known to be hinged to the wristwatch body (see Patent Document 1). The wristwatch disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a loupe hinged to the edge of the dial. However, the wristwatch loupe disclosed in Patent Document 1 is for magnifying and viewing something other than the dial, and it is difficult to magnify and view the dial.

Further, as a wristwatch to which a magnifying glass is attached, a wristwatch in which a convex lens is screwed to the wristwatch body is known (see Patent Document 2). In the wristwatch disclosed in Patent Document 2, a circular convex lens is screwed to the edge of a circular dial so as to be removable. Therefore, it is possible to magnify the dial by removing the convex lens. However, in order to magnify the dial, it is necessary to remove the convex lens, which requires a troublesome operation of rotating the convex lens many times. Also, if the convex lens is removed from the wristwatch body, it may be lost.

The information display body 91 has a display surface 91a, and information provided to the user is displayed on the display surface 91a. Further, the display surface 91a is composed of a touch panel, and the user operates the touch panel to select information to be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the magnifying glass device 1 has an arm member 10 and a magnifying glass 20 as main components. The arm member 10 is composed of

frames

11 and 12, and one end 10a thereof is coupled to the information display device 90 via the coupling means 30. A magnifying glass 20 is coupled to the other end 10b of the arm member 10. The coupling means 30 is coupled to the upper belt 92 of the information display device 90. The method of connecting the coupling means 30 and the upper belt 92 can be arbitrarily selected, but the coupling means 30 shown in the figure is coupled so as to wrap around the cross section of the upper belt 92 and can be removed. Another configuration of the coupling means 30 is to have a pair of members extending in the width direction of the upper belt 92, which can be detachably coupled by sandwiching the upper belt 92 from the front and back. It is also possible to integrate the coupling means 30 and the upper belt 92.

Next, the magnifying glass device 1 will be further described with reference to FIG. The

frames

11 and 12 constituting the arm member 10 extend in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 2A, and one end of each thereof is rotatably coupled to the coupling means 30. The

frames

11 and 12 are coupled to both ends in the width direction of the coupling means 30, and are arranged apart from each other on the left and right so that the display surface 91a of the information display body 91 can be seen. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the

11 and 12 are curved in a side view and have a convex shape in the front direction. Further, the

frames

11 and 12 are coupled to the coupling means 30 by a hinge (not shown) so as to rotate about the rotation axis R1 extending in the left-right direction in FIG. 2A. In the joint portion between the

frames

11 and 12 and the coupling means 30, friction acts so that the

frames

11 and 12 can be stationary at an arbitrary rotation position.

A magnifying glass 20 is rotatably coupled to the other ends of each of the

frames

11 and 12. The illustrated magnifying glass 20 has a rectangular outer shape and is formed in a convex lens shape at the center, but any shape that allows magnified vision, such as a Fresnel lens, can be selected. The magnifying glass 20 is coupled to the

frames
