Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention is a vertically operating pendulum clock, more specifically, a vertically operating pendulum in which a swing plate on which character pictograms, etc. are printed, can be moved by the vertical movement of a swinging rod. It's about watches.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, various types of watches have been commercialized that have uses as accessories in addition to the practical purpose of telling time.

For example, the device disclosed in FIG. 4 of Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-153969 was also intended for a watch as an accessory, and a part of the pictogram panel was used as the dial of the watch.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in such conventional technology, the pictures and text panels were stationary, and it was not possible to create a display with a sense of dynamism.

Further, when advertisements are carried out using pictures and text panels, they do not attract the attention of users, and the advertising effect is weak.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problem, and as a means for that purpose, a swinging rod with a permanent magnet attached is suspended from the lower end of the first slip spring whose upper end is locked to the support part. In a vertically operating pendulum clock in which the swinging rod is moved up and down by an electric current flowing through a coil body arranged around a permanent magnet of the swinging rod, a pair of left and right pendulum clocks are attached to the swinging rod and the base of the clock. To provide a vertically operating pendulum clock having a pendulum swingably supported by two springs.

[Effect]

Since the vertically operating pendulum clock of this invention is constructed as described above, the swing plate is moved freely as the swing rod moves up and down. Further, the swing plate is supported at three points by the swing rod and a pair of left and right second springs, so that the swing plate can always be held in the same direction.

〔Example〕

This invention will be specifically explained below based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a vertically operating pendulum timepiece showing an embodiment of this invention, with the movement cover removed, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway side view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing the state in which the movement cover has been attached to prevent the pendulum from swinging, FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway side view thereof, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing the state in which the pendulum stopper has been inserted into the bearing portion.

In the figure, 1 is a movement case, inside which a clock movement 2 is attached with screws, and on the right side is a battery 4 that is the drive source.
is set.

Reference numeral 1a denotes a support portion provided at a protruding position in the upper center of the movement case 1. 6 is a first member whose upper end is locked to the support portion 1a via the upper hook portion 6a.
A swinging rod 7 is suspended from the lower end of the first spring 6 via a lower hook portion 6b. Reference numeral 7a denotes an upper hanging hole portion provided at the upper end of the swinging rod 7, and the swinging rod 7 is locked to the lower hook portion 6b of the first spring 6 through the upper hanging hole portion 7a. A permanent magnet 8 is attached to the top of the swinging rod 7. Reference numeral 9 denotes a swinging plate, and this swinging plate 9 is secured to a lower hanging hole 7b provided at the lower end of the swinging rod 7 via a swinging plate hanging part 9a at the upper end. Further, a pair of left and right holes 9b, 9b are provided at the lower end of the swing plate 9, and these holes 9b, 9b are used to respectively latch two second springs 10, 10 fixed to the base 13 of the watch. has been done.

3 is a circuit board, and a circuit element 3a is mounted on the board.
The coil body 5 is arranged around a permanent magnet 8 attached to the swinging rod 7 so as to surround the permanent magnet 8, and is connected to the battery 4 to supply current to the coil body 5. When the current flows, a swinging rod 7 to which a permanent magnet 8 is attached moves up and down. Note that 14 is a time adjustment hand turning knob.

Next, reference numeral 11 is a movement cover, and a bearing portion 11a is provided at the lower center position of the movement cover. 1
Reference numeral 2 denotes a swinging rod stopper inserted into the bearing part 11a. When the swinging rod stopper 12 is inserted into the bearing part 11a and pushed in, the swinging rod stopper 12 is inserted into the engagement groove 12b provided in the bearing part 11a and released. The prevention protrusion 11b is arranged so as to be just engaged. Further, a locking hole 7c is provided in the center of the swinging rod 7, and the tip 12a of the swinging rod stopper 12 pushed into the bearing portion 11a fits into the locking hole 7.
c.

Note that in order to engage the tip 12a of the swinging rod stopper 12 with the locking hole 7c, it is necessary to push up the swinging rod 7, but at this time, the lower shoulder 7d of the swinging rod 7 just comes into contact with it. At the lower end of the coil body 5,
If the alignment groove 5a into which the shoulder 7d fits is provided, when the swinging rod 7 is pushed up and the shoulder 7d fits into the alignment groove 5a, the tip of the swinging rod stopper 12 pushed into the bearing 11a The portion 12a can play the role of alignment by just engaging with the locking hole 7c, which is extremely convenient and can also prevent the lower end of the swinging rod 7 from swinging even slightly.

The vertically operating pendulum clock according to the embodiment of this invention having the above structure operates as follows.

In other words, the swinging rod stopper 12 is connected to the bearing part 11.
When the swinging plate 9 is suspended from the lower end of the swinging rod 7 and the battery 4 is set, a current flows through the coil body 5 and the swinging rod 7 starts moving up and down. The swinging plate 9 is moved freely as the swinging rod 7 moves up and down. At this time, the swinging plate 9 is connected to the swinging rod 7.
It is supported at three points by a pair of left and right second springs 10 and 10 hooked to the base 13 of the watch. Therefore, the swing plate 9 is always held in the same direction.

[Effect of idea]

As specifically explained above, the vertically operating pendulum clock according to this invention has a swing plate that is composed of a swing rod that is vertically operated by the coil body of the clock, and a pair of left and right pendulum clocks that are hung on the base of the clock. It is characterized by being freely supported at three points by a second spring,
Therefore, the swing plate can be moved freely as the swing rod moves up and down, and a display with a sense of dynamism can be performed.

Further, as mentioned above, the swing plate is supported at three points, and has the advantage that it can always be held in the same direction.
