Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display instrument, in particular for a watch.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a display instrument, in particular for a watch, which leaves the previously known display principles and conveys a new appearance.
  • the display instrument is provided according to the invention - a moving pointer - Transversely to the direction of movement of the pointer linearly attached lighting elements and - A control circuit which switches the lighting elements on or off as a function of the current position of the pointer to form display symbols during the pointer movement.
  • the light elements which are preferably formed by light-emitting diodes, are switched on or off by the control circuit during the movement of the pointer, so that one or more display symbols are recognized by integrating the current displays via the movement of the pointer by the human eye.
  • the display itself is therefore produced by the moving pointer alone, i.e. independently of a display field in the background. It can be seen that this opens up completely new design options since - in contrast to the previous displays - no fixed display field is required.
  • the display field of the display instrument according to the invention is formed by the range of movement of the pointer.
  • the display instrument has a pointer that can be moved back and forth. This can be pivoted about a pivot point, in particular in the manner of a pendulum. If the association with a pendulum clock is sought, the fulcrum will be at the upper end of the pointer. However, it is also possible not to store the pointer hanging but to provide the pivot point at the lower end of the pointer, so that a structure in the manner of a metronome is created.
  • the control circuit switches the lighting elements depending on the current angular position in a suitable manner on or off to make the numerical display on a clock or possibly other display symbols recognizable.
  • the pointer moves on a cylindrical path and is rotatably mounted in the cylinder axis, the pointer itself extending parallel to the cylinder axis.
  • the pointer can move back and forth, but it can also rotate continuously.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a stand 1 standing on a base, at the upper end of which a pointer 2 is pivotably mounted in a swivel joint 3 in the manner of a pendulum.
  • a pointer 2 is pivotably mounted in a swivel joint 3 in the manner of a pendulum.
  • seven light-emitting diodes are arranged linearly one below the other as lighting elements 4 in the longitudinal direction of the pointer.
  • FIG. 4 shows the switched-on state of the light-emitting diodes 4 by means of black dots for a large number of angular positions lying next to one another. It is readily apparent that any desired digit can be represented by suitable control of the 7 light elements 4 in the selected exemplary embodiment. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the time "23.19" is shown during a movement.
  • Such a pointer 2 can have an oscillation period of, for example, two seconds, so that such a time display is produced every two seconds.
  • an oscillation period of, for example, two seconds, so that such a time display is produced every two seconds.
  • the displays for example alternately displaying a time and a date.
  • Figure 3 shows another mechanical structure of a display instrument, in which a pointer 2 'rotates on a cylindrical path of a lateral surface 5 of a cylinder 6 and is rotatably mounted in the cylinder axis 7 of the cylinder 6.
  • the pointer 2 'itself extends parallel to the cylinder axis 7th
  • the pointer 2 performs a back and forth movement, as indicated by the double case A.
  • the pointer 2 rotates continuously.
  • the cylinder 6 represents only one design element. It can therefore also be omitted, as a result of which the display instrument is then formed only by the rotating or reciprocating pointer 2 ', which is mounted in the axis 7 of an imaginary cylinder and on which Shell surface 5 of this imaginary cylinder moves.
