Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a clock with a no-smoking time display for encouraging people to quit smoking, especially during busy hours, such as on station platforms.

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas]

In recent years, it has become common for station platforms to set particularly busy times as non-smoking hours. However, in order to make users aware of such non-smoking hours, it is necessary to make an announcement through a loudspeaker, or write the non-smoking hours on a notice board and post the notice board on a post or wall on the platform. All I had to do was post it. Therefore, even if a non-smoking time is announced over a loudspeaker, it is difficult or even impossible to announce the same content continuously or frequently, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible for users to do so. Since the period is extremely short, it is difficult to notify users on the platform that it is a non-smoking period. Furthermore, even if a notice board is posted stating that it is a non-smoking period, it is difficult to see the notice board due to the shadows of people during busy times, and reading the notice board is a nuisance and can be done at times when there is no free time. It is often an obi. For this reason, users were often unable to fully recognize that it was a non-smoking period.

Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention has been developed to effectively inform users of the quitting time by linking it with a time display that is particularly frequently seen by users on station platforms, etc., and which is suitable for displaying the quitting time. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a clock with a no-smoking time display that can notify the user of non-smoking time.

[Means and actions to solve the problem]

The present invention was made to achieve the above object, and uses a prism plate as a dial, and the back side of the prism plate is treated with extremely small irregularities, and the position of the short hand is indicated on the back side of the prism plate. A preset non-smoking time period is depicted using reflective material. When the current time reaches the non-smoking time zone, the light source is turned on and the light emitted from the light source enters the interior from the end face of the prism plate.The light that enters the prism plate repeats reflections on both the front and back surfaces of the prism plate. As it moves toward the other end, it is reflected by the no-smoking mark and non-smoking hours drawn on the back side, but the back side of the prism board is treated with extremely small irregularities, which causes diffuse reflection.
This diffusely reflected light is diffused from the surface of the prism plate,
This is to make the viewer aware that it is a non-smoking time.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a watch with a no-smoking time display according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show a first embodiment of a clock with a no-smoking time display, in which 1 is an analog clock;
7 and 18 are prism plates serving as dial plates. Non-smoking marks 23 and 24 are attached to the prism plates 17 and 18, and the preset morning non-smoking time zone 21 and the afternoon non-smoking time zone 22 indicated by the hour hand 15 are colored separately. In this case, the non-smoking period 21
The region where the and non-smoking time zone 22 overlap each other is arranged in such a way that the colors of diagonal lines of a predetermined width are alternately arranged. When the hour hand 15 is located in the area of the non-smoking time zone 21 or 22, it is displayed that it is the non-smoking time. In other words, the hour hand 15 and the minute hand 16 are attached to both the front and back sides of the analog clock 1,
The time can be displayed from either the front or the back. The short hand 15 and the long hand 16 are driven by a move element 14. Prism plates 17 and 18 and a back plate 19 for optical shielding are arranged between the move element 14 and the short hand 15 and long hand 16. The back surface of each prism plate 17, 18 is surface-treated to form extremely small irregularities of 2 to 3 μm. On the processed surface 20a on the back side of each prism plate 17, a morning no-smoking time period 21 is attached by means such as screen printing or cutting and pasting. Also, on the processed surface 20b on the back side of each prism plate 18, the afternoon no-smoking time period 22 is attached by means such as screen printing or cutting and pasting.
In this case, the no-smoking time zones 21 and 22 are formed of a material such as highly reflective ink, and the no-smoking mark 23,
24 is also attached. Furthermore, each prism plate 1
Light sources 25 and 26 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of 7 and 18, respectively. The lighting time and duration of the light sources 25 and 26 are controlled by a timer. That is, when the no-smoking time in the morning is reached, the light source 25 is turned on only during that time period. On the other hand, light source 2
No. 6 is designed so that when the no-smoking time in the afternoon is reached, the light is turned on only during that time. The time display characters are
It may be attached to the surface of the prism plate 17 so that it can be visually observed from the outside at all times. And light source 2
5 or the light source 26 turns on at the non-smoking time, the light from the light sources 25 and 26 illuminates each prism plate 1.
Enter inside from the end faces of 7 and 18, and each prism plate 1
While repeating reflection between the front and back surfaces of 7 and 18, it heads toward the other end. During this period, there will be no-smoking period 2.
1 and 22, it is reflected by the non-smoking time zones 21 and 22 through the back surfaces of each prism plate 17 and 18, but the back surfaces of each prism plate 17 and 18 are surface-treated to have extremely small irregularities as described above. As a result, the light is diffusely reflected, and this diffusely reflected light is directly radiated to the outside from the surfaces of the respective prism plates 17 and 18. Therefore, due to the light dissipation from the non-smoking hours 21 and 22, the user can visually see the non-smoking hours 21 and 22 as if they were illuminated, and can recognize that it is the non-smoking time. To effectively notify that it is a non-smoking time by being located in the area of time zones 21 and 22. After the non-smoking time period has elapsed, the light sources 25 and 26 are turned off, and there is no light reflected during the non-smoking time period 21 and 22, so that the non-smoking time period 21 and 22 cannot be visually observed from the outside. By the way, when the morning non-smoking time and the afternoon non-smoking time on the 12-hour display are the same time, the prism plate 1
7, 18 only one ticket, and during non-smoking hours 21,
Non-smoking marks 3 and 1 of each of the above embodiments in place of 22
It is also possible to control the light sources provided at the upper and lower ends of the single prism plate to be turned on both during the morning non-smoking time and the afternoon non-smoking time.

Figure 3 shows the embodiment of Figure 2, with a time display of 24
Time system, morning time display from 0 to 12:00 8
on the outer periphery of the prism plate 17 of the first embodiment, and
An afternoon time display 9 from 12:00 to 24:00 is provided on the inner periphery of the prism plate 18 of the first embodiment, which does not coincide with the time display 8. The rest is the same as the first embodiment. The morning non-smoking time period 21 is indicated by coloring in a predetermined area of the time display 8. On the other hand, during the afternoon non-smoking period 22,
A predetermined area of the time display 9 is shown colored. The non-smoking time periods 21 and 22 may be displayed using the same color, or may be displayed in different colors. The hour hand 15 indicates the above-mentioned non-smoking hours 21 and 2.
When positioned at 2, it is displayed that it is non-smoking time. When the non-smoking time periods 21 and 22 are colored in the same color, the non-smoking marks 23 and 24 to be attached to each prism plate 17 and 18 are also formed in the same color as the non-smoking time periods 21 and 22, so that it can be recognized that it is a non-smoking time. is easy.

Also, as in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a digital time display device 29 is used instead of the moving element 14, and a no-smoking mark 30 is placed on one side of the display surface.
The above-mentioned prism plate 31 marked with is arranged,
and light sources are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the prism plate 31,
By turning on the light source, the no-smoking mark 30 can be displayed by emitting reflected light during the no-smoking time.
Further, the prism plate 31 is superimposed on the time display surface 32 with an appropriate gap, and a light source is turned on during the non-smoking time to cause the no-smoking mark 30 on the prism plate 31 to emit the reflected light as described above, that is, to display the time. It is also possible to display the no-smoking mark 30 by emitting light over the display.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the clock with a no-smoking time display according to the present invention, since the no-smoking mark and the no-smoking time period are displayed by luminescence when the non-smoking time comes, it is very effective in attracting the attention of the viewer. Moreover, since the light source is placed on the end face of the prism plate, it can be installed on the moving element of a watch without getting in the way. Moreover, the light source can be mounted on the moving element of a watch without getting in the way, and the reflection between the front and back surfaces of the prism plate and the extremely small unevenness and reflective material on the back of the prism plate By utilizing the effect of diffused reflection due to the non-smoking time period depicted in , it is possible to simplify the configuration with a luminescent display.
In addition, the thickness can be made thinner, preventing it from becoming too large, and the hour hand can be located in the area of the non-smoking time zone where the light is emitted as described above, so that it can also be used to notify that the current time is within the non-smoking time period. It is extremely convenient for people. It is extremely convenient for users to effectively inform users of the no-smoking time in conjunction with the time display that is frequently seen by users, especially on station platforms, and is most suitable for displaying the no-smoking time.
