Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an illuminated watch.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, there are illuminated watches in which a light source is attached to the rear face of a watch face. As an example, Kimiaki
No. 37-22185 discloses that a clock face 4 made of a light-diffusing material is attached to the front side of a housing 1, a round fluorescent lamp tube 5 is attached to the rear face of the clock face 4, and A clock drive device 3 is shown housed in the inner diameter space of a type fluorescent lamp tube 5. Still another example is an illuminated clock that illuminates the outer periphery of the case. As an example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-21508 discloses that a transparent window is provided in a part of the circumferential body, a movement is accommodated and fixed inside by aligning its dial with the transparent window, and a light bulb socket is attached and fixed to the upper part. A glove is shown fitted to the upper end of the cylindrical casing to cover the cylindrical case.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

Although all of the above-mentioned conventional illuminated watches have a lighting function, they are not excellent in terms of design.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an illuminated clock that can create an unprecedented sense of elegance.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the illuminated watch of the present invention has a front frame body having an opening for displaying the time on the front side, a transparent front cover located in the opening, and a front frame body that faces the transparent front cover. a mechanical body mounting plate on which a dial is provided; a pointer operated by a watch mechanical body provided in the gap between the front cover and the dial and fixed to the back of the mechanical body mounting plate; It includes a rear frame located behind the front frame and a light source provided between the front frame and the rear frame. The machine body mounting plate is made of a transparent material, and a peripheral wall surrounding the gap is provided on the outer periphery, and the front edge of the rear frame has a larger front shape than the rear edge of the front frame. On the other hand, the end face of the front edge of the rear frame body is located forward of the end face of the rear edge of the front frame body, and the peripheral area of the opening of the front frame body is designed to prevent light from the light source from entering the front frame body. It is provided so as to be inclined diagonally backward with respect to the peripheral wall so that it is reflected on the inner surface and guided from the peripheral wall to the dial.

[Effect]

The space between the front frame and the rear frame is illuminated, and the dial is illuminated from the translucent peripheral wall (endpaper), making it look doubly bright and floating. Further, heat from the light source is radiated through the gap between the front frame and the rear frame.

〔Example〕

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a front frame body 1 having an opening 1a for displaying time on its front face is screwed to a base 2. As shown in FIGS. A transparent front cover 3 is attached to the opening 1a.
is located, and a machine mounting plate 5 having a dial plate 4 on the front face faces the front cover 3.
A pointer 6 is provided in the gap between the front cover 3 and the dial 4.
The hands 6 are moved by a timepiece mechanism 7 fixed to the back of the mechanism mounting plate 5.
A rear frame body 8 is located behind the front frame body 1, and the rear frame body 8 is attached to a receiver 9 screwed to the stand 2 with set screws 10. A light source 11 is provided between the front frame body 1 and the rear frame body 8, and the light source 11 is fixed to the upper part of the receiver 9. A switch 12 for a light source 11 is provided on the front upper surface of the stand 2. The light source 11 is turned on by a commercial power source. The machine mounting plate 5 is made of a transparent material, and has a peripheral wall 5a surrounding the gap between the front cover 3 and the dial plate 4 on its outer periphery. While the front edge 8a of the rear frame 8 has a larger front shape than the rear edge 1b of the front frame 1,
The front edge end surface 8b of the rear frame body 8 is located forward of the rear edge end surface 1c of the front frame body 1.
Therefore, a gap 13 that opens forward is formed between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 8, and the front frame 1 and the rear frame 8 have an overlapping portion. Peripheral area 1d of opening 1a
reflects the light from the light source 11 on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 5a.
It is provided so as to be inclined diagonally rearward with respect to the peripheral wall 5a so as to lead more closely to the dial 4.

The present invention has the above configuration, and when the light source 11 is turned on by the switch 12, the peripheral area 1d of the opening 1a
reflects the light from the light source 11 on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 5a.
The light is guided to the dial plate 4 and the dial plate 4 is illuminated. At the same time, the rear frame 8 reflects the light from the light source 11 on its inner surface and emits the light from the gap 13 between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 8. Therefore, in a dark place, the dial 4 and the space between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 8 appear doubly bright and stand out. Furthermore, the heat from the light source 11 is radiated through the gap 13, making it ideal for long-term use.

Note that the light source 11 may be lit by a battery stored in the stand 2.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, in a dark place, the dial and the space between the front frame and the rear frame appear doubly bright and stand out, creating an unprecedented sense of elegance.

In addition, the heat from the light source escapes through the gap between the front frame and the rear frame, so it has excellent heat dissipation and does not overheat even when used for a long time.
