Definitions

  • these models also have a time zone ring that is attached and rotates either as a rotating ring or as a ring in the dial.
  • the time zone ring contains 24 destinations. This enables the user to read the time simultaneously in 24 time zones.
  • the disadvantage is that the reading of the individual time zones is complicated and does not correspond to the learned behavior pattern, so errors are often made when reading.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of developing the most complete and user-friendly world clock that has ever existed on a mechanical basis. This means the following:
  • This watch is to be driven by a mechanical gear train, which is located in a waterproof case.
  • the clock has a rotating ring with 24 place names.
  • the place names are listed according to their official deviation from the prime meridian and have an indication of whether there is an official DST (Daylight Saving Time) at this place.
  • the rotating ring can be turned both clockwise and in the opposite direction. It snaps into 24 positions according to the time zones. When turning clockwise, the hour hands move forward, when turning left, the hour hands move backward.
  • this principle can also be reversed, i.e. when turning the rotating ring to the right, the hour hands move backwards and when turning it to the left, they move forward.
  • the rotating ring can be locked so that the time zone cannot be changed accidentally.
  • the coupling process is operated via a lever on the housing. It is opened or closed via a device such as a lever connected to the housing.
  • the lever blocks the rotating ring via its shape and the shape of the rotating ring in the closed state. If the lever is not used to block the rotating ring, this is done using the shape of the handle. If the lever is open, the rotating ring can be turned in both directions.
  • the lever operates a pusher.
  • This lever in turn operates another lever, the clutch rocker, which engages and disengages the mechanism.
  • the mechanism When the lever is open, the mechanism is engaged and the user can turn the desired location on the rotating ring to 12h.
  • the time shown corresponds to that of the location on the rotating ring at 12 o'clock.
  • the 24-hour hand which rotates synchronously with the 12-hour hand, once in 24 hours and has its own number scale, provides the user with information about whether it is in the set destination, day or night.
  • Fig. 2 starting position of the clock, the mechanism is disengaged, the clock is set to London and shows the time from 07.30 in the morning.
  • Fig. 4 New time zone setting after the rotating ring has been rotated 3 raster steps to the right and the clock mechanism has thus been actuated.
  • the clock is set to Moscow and shows a time of 10:30 a.m.
  • Fig.5 Alternative construction of the gear train.
  • the time display When turning the rotating ring to the right, the time display is moved counterclockwise, when turning it to the left it is moved clockwise.
  • Fig. 6 cross section 3H of the clock. Shows how the water resistance was calibrated, as well as the principle of a rotating ring with an interchangeable insert.
  • Fig. 7 Special handle with cross-section and front cut.
  • the rotating ring in Fig.l has a bottom-fixed, spur gear (6) which drives a vertically mounted wheel (5) in the housing, which in turn drives a clutch wheel (4).
  • the drives (4,5) are connected to each other via a shaft.
  • 6 shows that the housing and the gearwheel were designed in such a way that this vertical wheel (5A) is 'hidden' inside the outside of the housing and is connected to a clutch wheel (4) via a sealed axis (5C). This ensures water resistance.
  • the cap (5B) closes the drive wheel to the outside.
  • the drive wheel (5A) is always connected to the ring gear ring (6).
  • Fig. 2 shows the starting position.
  • the lever (1) is closed and pushes the handle (2) inwards.
  • the pusher (2) in turn actuates the clutch rocker (3), which has disengaged the clutch drive (4) in this state.
  • the clock always shows the time on the destination that is set at 12h or 24h. hi Fig. 2 is selected London and the hands (15, 16, 17) show a time from 7.30 a.m.
  • Fig. 3 shows the clutch mechanism.
  • the lever (1) of the watch is opened. The following events occur:
  • the pusher (2) is released and pressed outwards by its own spring.
  • the clutch rocker (3) is pressed by the rocker switch spring with one end against the inner part of the handle (2). If the handle (2) moves outwards, the clutch rocker (3), when pressed by the rocker switch spring, takes the "engaged" position.
  • the other end of the rocker switch couples the clutch drive (4) or the clutch shaft into the first change gear (8).
  • the external gear (5) which is in engagement with the spur toothing (6) of the rotating ring, is firmly connected to this shaft.
  • the minute track (9) moves a 12-hour change wheel (10) and a 24-hour change wheel (11) at the same time.
  • This drive is firmly attached to the quarter tube of any base plant.
  • the double spring of the pliers (12) opens and the two catches each move by the number of cuts that correspond to the number of time zones on the rotating ring. Since the detent is firmly connected to the 12-hour wheel (l ⁇ ), the 24-hour wheel also rotates via the 12-hour-24-hour change wheel. Thus, the actual local time of the location that is on the rotating ring at 12 o'clock is always displayed.
  • the rotating ring (7) can be moved in both directions. In the example in FIG. 4, the rotating ring (7) is turned to the right except for the destination 'Moscow'. Each time you turn the hour hand (16) and the 24-hour hand (15) move forward in lh rhythm. The clock now shows a time in Moscow from 10.30 in the morning. The fine line to the left of Moscow on the rotating ring indicates that Moscow has daylight saving time + lh. The user must therefore make sure that it is winter or summer time. If daylight saving time occurs, the user moves the rotary ring (7) to the right once more. In this case the clock would display 11.30 a.m.
  • the clutch mechanism By closing the lever, the clutch mechanism is moved in the opposite direction and the clutch drive (4) is disengaged from engagement with the first change gear (8).
  • the shape and dimensions of the lever (l) and the coupling rocker (3) are selected so that the locking of the rotating ring (7) is only released when the mechanism is engaged. Or conversely, the rotating ring (7) is blocked first and then the mechanism is uncoupled. This prevents accidental desynchronization of the mechanism.
  • Fig. 1-4 the gear train was like this designed that the hour hand jumps forward when the rotating ring is turned to the right and backwards when it is turned to the left.
  • Fig. 5 shows the gear train in reverse form.
  • the watch was designed so that the gear train can also be coupled with another display, in particular the date, but also the day of the week, the month or the year.
  • the date jumps one day before or after, depending on the direction in which the rotating ring was turned, when the rotating ring is turned over the 24-hour limit.
  • the transmission mechanism in Fig.l can also be used so that the date, day of the week, month or year can be adjusted directly via the rotary ring without being linked to the time display.
  • the corresponding unit is adjusted on the rotating ring, e.g. 31 units for the display of the date, as well as the number of teeth on the ring gear and the gear train.
  • FIG.l Another application of the transmission mechanism in Fig.l is an integrated alarm clock, which can be set via the rotating ring with a 24-hour display.
  • Fig. 6 shows that the rotating ring consists of two parts. Of central importance is the rotating ring insert (19), which is attached using four screws (18). This construction enables the rotating ring insert (19) to be replaced quickly and easily.
  • the rotating ring insert can be personalized in that the destinations can be put together according to customer requirements. Depending on the customer's requirements, the world clock can contain all important business destinations for a business man and all important stock exchanges for a stockbroker included all islands for an island lover or the for a golfer
  • the transmission mechanism in Fig.l was built in such a way that it can be connected to existing clockworks or can function as part of a completely new type of clockwork.
  • the mechanism can also be connected to a chronograph movement.
  • the pushers are located on the left side of the housing.
  • the transmission mechanism can also be used to activate the chronograph functions by turning the rotating ring.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une montre universelle mécanique comportant un mécanisme de transmission qui permet, à l'aide d'une bague tournante comportant 24 zones horaires, de déplacer directement l'élément indiquant l'heure, par exemple une aiguille à 12 heures et/ou une aiguille à 24 heures. Avec cette montre, on peut déplacer manuellement la zone horaire, c'est-à-dire lire l'heure d'une autre zone horaire. L'utilisation de cette montre ne peut pas être plus simple. Après ouverture d'un levier, le mécanisme montré par la figure 1 s'enclenche automatiquement. La couronne dentée (6) bloquée avec la bague tournante entraîne une roue d'entraînement vertical (5) qui est reliée, par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre, à une roue d'accouplement (4). Lorsque le mouvement (4) est enclenché, il entraîne une ou deux minuteries (8, 9) qui déplacent une roue à 12 heures (10) et une roue à 24 heures (11) selon un rythme d'1 heure. La bague tournante est donc ainsi facilement tournée jusqu'à la destination souhaitée à 12 heures et on peut immédiatement lire l'heure locale. Soit la bague tournante est maintenant ramenée à son point de départ, soit le levier est tout simplement fermé. Dans le second cas, le mécanisme continue à tourner selon la destination réglée. Le poussoir (2) désengage le mécanisme par l'intermédiaire d'un baladeur (3), bloque, simultanément à l'état fermé la couronne dentée (6) et empêche un déplacement intempestif de l'heure. Ce mécanisme de transmission peut également être utilisé pour le réglage ou la modification d'autres éléments indicateurs, indiquant notamment la date, le jour, le mois, l'année, les minutes, ou bien pour assurer d'autres fonctions telles que celle d'un réveil.
