Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to the improvement of watches.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, watches have come to be required not only to display the time but also to function as decorative items, and for this reason decorative watches have been manufactured in various shapes and configurations.

The present invention aims to provide a watch with high decorative value that satisfies these demands, and is characterized by a structure in which a thin wire connected to the second hand swings in a comical manner as the second hand moves. .

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings. In Fig. 1, 1 is a watch body, 2
is a dial mounted entirely within the body 1,
A movement 3 is housed in the upper end of the body 1, and the hour hand 4 and minute hand 5 are provided on the front surface of the dial 2 and are driven and rotated by the movement 3.
and a second hand 6.

In addition, at a position outside the rotation area of the pointer at the lower center of the dial 2, as shown in FIG. The width of the ring 7 is made sufficiently smaller than the rotating diameter of the second hand 6, and a straight thin wire 8 made of elastic wire is swingably connected to the tip of the second hand 6. 8 into the ring 7, a decorative piece 9 whose front and back sides are colored in different colors is attached to the lower end of the thin wire 8, and the ring 7 is hidden behind the glass 10 attached to the front surface of the body 1. A decorative sticker 11 is attached.

The second hand 6 is preferably of an intermittent rotation type that moves and stops in small increments, rather than one that rotates smoothly at a constant speed.
It moves up and down within the ring 7 during one rotation, but it needs to be formed to a length that will not come off the ring at that time.

In the timepiece having the above configuration, when the second hand 6 rotates once by intermittent operation, the thin wire 8
Movement to the left and right is restricted by the ring 7, allowing various movements to be made while changing the inclination and height. That is, to explain this sequentially with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D, while the second hand 6 is moving through the region a indicating approximately 55 to 5 seconds as shown in FIG. Then, it hangs vertically without contacting the sides of the ring 7, and moves laterally within the ring 7 as the second hand moves.
In region b from 5 to 25 seconds, the thin line 8
comes into contact with the side 7a of the ring 7, and as the second hand 6 rotates, it is gradually displaced downward while changing its inclination. After reaching the descending end, the side 7a of the ring 7 is turned again.
It comes off and hangs vertically. and,
As shown in figure D, area d corresponds to approximately 35 to 55 seconds.
, the thin wire 8 comes into contact with the other side 7b of the ring 7, but in the first half, about 35 to 45 seconds, the second hand 6
Since the inclination of the thin wire 8 becomes larger each time it advances by one pitch, the thin wire 8 is pressed against the side 7b from the upper half each time. In this state, since the part of the thin wire 8 that projects downward from the ring 7 is relatively long, the inertial force of the projecting part 8a is large, so that the thin wire 8 follows the rotation of the second hand 6. The inclination cannot be changed immediately, and each time the second hand 6 advances one pitch, it curves momentarily, and as a reaction, the lower end springs upward and bounces. By repeating this bouncing motion, the second hand 6 rises as the second hand 6 rotates.

When the second hand 6 passes the approximately 45-second point, not only does the inclination of the thin line 8 become smaller, but also the amount of momentum gradually decreases, and at the approximately 55-second point, the thin line 8 enters the above-mentioned drooping state.

It goes without saying that the above-mentioned relationship between the time domain and the movement of the thin line can be changed by changing the width of the ring 7.

As described above, according to the watch of the present invention, the dial is provided with a ring, and the elastic thin wire connected to the tip of the second hand is inserted through the ring, so that as the second hand rotates, the thin wire has various comical effects. You can make it move.
