Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to an alarm clock.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in alarm clocks, in order to stop the alarm sound, an operation button for temporary stop of sound that is projected above the clock frame is pressed, or a sound stop lever that is projected at the back of the clock frame is used. I was lowering the operation knob of.

Further, there is also one in which a stand or the like is attached to the timepiece body as a separate member, and the sound stop switch is operated by relatively moving the timepiece body and this stand or the like.

[Problems to be Solved] In the first conventional example described above, when trying to stop the sound, it is necessary to search for an operation button or operation knob and move the operation button, and particularly when the surroundings are dark, an alarm sound is generated. The operation is troublesome when the user tries to stop the sound before he / she wakes up clearly.

In addition, the second conventional example requires a member such as a stand separately provided in the timepiece main body, and the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is increased.

An object of the present invention is to provide an alarm timepiece which is extremely easy to operate to stop the sound even in such a case, has a simple structure, and can be provided at low cost.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, in the alarm clock of the present invention, the front frame and the rear frame of the timepiece are swung at a position with a predetermined gap and shifted upward or downward. It is swingably connected as a center, and can be opened and closed inside the front and rear frames by a relative swing between the front and rear frames at a position offset to the side opposite to the swing center. It is equipped with a sound stop switch.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The timepiece mechanical body 1 is supported by a support frame 3 connected to the front frame 2. The support frame 3 is formed by extending the side wall 3a rearward from the outer periphery thereof. The front frame 2 and the support frame 3 sandwich the dial 4 and the front cover 5 therebetween and are connected at a position not shown. Rear end face 2 of front frame 2
The a and the front end surface 6a of the rear frame 6 face each other with a predetermined gap t therebetween, and the inside of the gap t is closed by the side wall 3a of the support frame 3. On the inner surfaces of the front frame 2 and the rear frame 6, connecting arms 7 and 7 having elasticity extend rearward from the supporting frame 3 at positions offset toward the lower side, and the distal ends of the connecting arms face each other. Specifically, locking claws 7a, 7a are provided. A connecting member 8 projects forward from the rear frame 6, and a connecting pin 8a is supported at the tip of this connecting member. The locking claws 7a, 7a are locked to the connecting pin 8a, and connect the front frame 2 and the rear frame 6 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction with the connecting pin 8a as the swing center.

Inside the front frame 2 and the rear frame 6, the connecting shaft 9 and the connecting recess 10 are projected so as to face each other with a predetermined gap at a position offset to the side opposite to the swing center 8a, that is, a position offset upward. The thick shaft portion 11a of the connecting screw 11 slidably penetrates the through hole 10a provided in the connecting concave portion, and the screw portion 11b of the connecting screw is screwed into the connecting shaft 9. Screw part 1
The screwing amount of 1b is adjusted so that the gap t is uniform over the entire outer circumference of the timepiece frame. In addition, the connecting shaft 9 and the connecting recess 1
The gap with 0 is set so as to regulate the swing range of the front frame 2 and the rear frame 6.

Inside the front frame 2 and the rear frame 6, a sound stop switch 12 is fixedly attached to the rear frame 6 at a position offset to the side opposite to the swing center 8a, that is, a position offset upward. The position of the actuating protrusion 12a is regulated by the protrusion 3b protruding from the support frame 3. The stop switch 12 is
When the operating projection 12a is pressed, the alarm sound is temporarily stopped.

Permanent squealing lever 13 provided on the back surface of the clock mechanical body 1
The operation knob 13a of is projected from the rear frame 6 and can be slid up and down from the outside. A battery small lid 14 is detachably provided on the rear frame 6, and a battery 15 is accommodated inside the battery small lid 14. The pointers 16 ...
The time can be corrected by the pointer adjusting knob 17.

Due to such a structure, when the alarm sound is emitted at the alarm set time and the sound is temporarily stopped, the front frame 2 and the rear frame 6 are lightly grasped by the upper part of the clock. The front frame 2 and the rear frame 6 are relatively swung in the front-rear direction about the connecting pin 8a, which is the swing center, so that the gap t in the upper part of the drawing is the gap between the connecting shaft 9 and the connecting recess 10. In the range of, the operation protrusion 12a of the sound stop switch 12 is pushed in to close the switch and temporarily stop sound. Since the stop switch 12 is on the upper side of the timepiece and on the side opposite to the swing center 8a,
The stroke required to close the switch 12 can be reliably obtained with a light grip. When the watch is released from the grip, the stop switch returns to the original state and after a predetermined time, the alarm sound is emitted again. To stop the sound forever, the operation knob 13a may be pushed down.

[Effect] As described above, in the alarm clock of the present invention, the front frame and the rear frame can be swung about a position where the front frame and the rear frame are biased upward or downward, and the sound stop switch is biased to the opposite side. Since it is provided, the front frame and the rear frame can be swung in the front-back direction by simply grasping the front frame and the rear frame of the timepiece at the time of stopping the sound, and the stroke for opening and closing is sufficiently large. be able to. This makes it possible to reliably operate the sound stop switch to stop the sound, and the operation is extremely easy. Since the front frame and the rear frame are indispensable to the structure of the timepiece itself and do not require any extra parts, the structure is extremely simple and can be provided at low cost.
