Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 187784/1984 discloses a watch that can be used both as a stand and a watch by providing a locking portion on the pivot portion and locking the side portions of the legs to the lower or upper portion of the locking portion. is proposed. The watch also includes a head that holds the watch body, and at least one handle that extends from the head and can be deformed into any shape, and the handle is a core member that holds the shape of the watch. A watch body that includes a handle and has functions such as holding the handle in an arbitrary shape by applying an appropriate external force to the handle, hanging it, and winding the handle. This is proposed in Publication No. 60-74077.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the conventional example, the former desk clock is
There was a problem in that it was necessary to selectively lock the side portions of the legs to the lower or upper portions of the locking portions, making it difficult to change the placement and change the orientation of the clock display surface.

In addition, the latter multi-purpose watch body maintains its shape by applying external force to the handle, which has a core material. There was a problem in that the orientation was regulated and therefore the clock display board could not be installed in any direction.

Therefore, the first purpose of this invention is to provide a clock that can be used easily between a table clock and a wall clock, and can easily change the orientation of the clock display surface, and can also stably support the clock when used with a table clock. A second object of the present invention is to provide a clock that can be used to notify cooking time, bath boiling time, etc. by using the timer clock as a hanging device.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) The present invention comprises a hanging device that can also be used as a stand, a watch body whose case has a curved surface or a mounting surface made of a plurality of surfaces, and the watch body. and a connecting member such as a string or chain that connects the hanger and the hanging tool,
A usage mode in which the watch body is suspended and supported by the hanging tool, and a display orientation of the watch body can be adjusted by placing the watch body on the hanging tool so that the mounting surface of the watch body is in contact with the hanging tool. It is possible to select and use any of the supported usage modes.

Further, in the present invention, the hanging tool is formed into a ring shape or a rectangular shape.

Further, in the present invention, the hanging tool is made of rubber.

Furthermore, the present invention equips the watch with a timer function.

(Function) A clock is placed on the hanging device via the mounting surface to become a table clock, and a clock is hung at an arbitrary location by the hanging device to become a wall clock. Since the hanging tool is connected to the clock by a connecting member such as a string or chain, it can be easily hung in any place such as the kitchen, and since the hanging tool is connected to the clock, it will not be lost. Furthermore, when used as a table clock, the case of the clock fits inside the hanger and can be supported in a stable state. In this case, the hanging tool and the watch are simply connected via the connecting member, so the watch and the hanging tool are not constrained to each other, and the display surface of the clock can be placed in any desired position and placed on the hanging tool as desired. It can be supported in any display orientation, and the display orientation can be changed freely.

Furthermore, if the clock is equipped with a timer function, it is possible to notify the cooking time, bath boiling time, etc.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment, and 1 is a watch, which is equipped with a case 3 having a curved surface of a circle or an ellipse as a whole and having a curved mounting part 2 in a part. The watch body 4 is stored inside the case 3.
A dial plate 5 is disposed in the opening. A timer mechanism (not shown) is provided inside the case 3, and a timer setting ring 6 for manually setting the timer time is rotatably attached to the periphery of the opening of the case 3. 6A is an index. Reference numeral 7 denotes a ring-shaped rubber hanger, which is connected to the upper part of the case 3 by a connecting member 8 such as a string. and the first
As shown in the figure, the ring-shaped hanging tool 7 is used as a stand, and the curved mounting part 2 of the clock 1 is placed on this hanging tool 7 to use it as a table clock. 7 is used as a wall clock by hanging the clock 1 from a hanging member 10 on a wall 9 using a connecting member 8 such as a hanging string. Furthermore, since the watch 1 is such that the mounting part 2 consisting of the curved surface of the case 3 is placed on the hanger 7, the display surface of the dial 5 can be placed in any position as shown in FIG. 2 or 3. Just by selecting and placing it, you can stably fix it in the desired display orientation. In this case, since the hanging tool 7 is formed into a ring shape and the mounting part 2 of the case 3 fits into the inner surface of the hanging tool 7, the watch 1
By making the ring-shaped hanger 7 made of rubber, the watch 1 can be supported more stably due to its anti-slip effect. Also,
Since the ring-shaped hanging tool 7 and the case 3 are connected by a connecting member 8 made of a string or chain, there is no fear that the hanging tool 7 will be lost. Furthermore, by equipping the clock 1 with a timer function, the clock 1 can be hung on any wall 9 in the kitchen or the like as shown in FIG.
The timer setting ring 6 is rotated to set the desired time, and the cooking time, bath boiling time, etc. can be notified by a notification means such as a bell, which is convenient for handling.

In this way, in this embodiment, the display orientation of the watch 1 can be set simply by placing the watch 1 on the hanger 7 in the desired state, making it easy to change the display orientation. By this, it becomes a table clock, and by hanging the hanging tool 7, it becomes a wall clock. Since the hanging tool 7 and the watch 1 are connected via the connecting member 8 which itself cannot maintain its shape, the watch 1 and the hanging tool 7 are not restrained from each other. It is easy to route and change the placement. In addition, when used as a table clock, the clock 1 is placed on the hanger 7 by fitting the mounting portion 2 of the case 3 into the inner surface of the hanger 7, so the display surface can be adjusted arbitrarily. By simply selecting and placing the display in the desired position, it can be stably supported in the desired display orientation.
