Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to a wall clock.

Traditionally, wall clocks have had a front cover attached to the front opening of the watch frame to which the movement is attached, but this requires a means to attach the front cover, and the watch frame itself is made box-shaped. However, the overall structure of the watch inevitably became complicated, and the number of parts increased, resulting in high costs.

An object of the present invention is to provide a wall clock that has a simplified configuration, a reduced number of parts, and can be manufactured at low cost.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. 1 to 3, a time scale 2 is printed or otherwise displayed on the front or back side of the outer circumference of a transparent front cover 1 made of a plastic material.

A narrow strip-shaped watch mounting plate 3 is integrally connected to the rear of the front cover 1, and this mounting plate has a predetermined gap 4 (a third ) is bent vertically, and the lower end of this mounting plate reaches approximately the center of the front cover. A movement 5 is attached to the back surface (right side) of the lower end of the watch mounting plate 3.
The movement 5 is mounted by screwing screws 6 into the mounting plate 3 from a mounting portion 5a provided on the side of the case of the movement. The tip of the pointer shaft 7 of the movement 5 passes through a long groove 3a that reaches the lower end of the mounting plate 3 and projects into the gap 4, and the pointer shaft has a pointer 8, that is, 8a is an hour hand and 8b is a minute hand. , 8c has a second hand attached. Note that 9 is inserted into the pointer shaft 7,
A latch is held by the mounting plate 3 and the movement 5, and 9a indicates a latch hole.

To assemble the wall clock configured in this way, the latch 9 is inserted into the pointer shaft 7 in advance, and the pointer 8 is attached to the pointer shaft 7.
It is only necessary to insert the mounting portion 5a of the movement 5 into the long groove 3a of the mounting plate 3 from the open end, and then support the mounting portion 5a of the movement 5 on the mounting plate 3 with the screws 6. In this way, the gap 4 between the front cover 1 and the mounting plate 3 can be narrowed, so that the watch can be made thinner.

The mounting means for the movement 5 is not limited to the above example, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of elastically deformable support pieces 10 are provided upright from the mounting plate 3, and a pointer is attached to this mounting plate. A hole 3b into which the shaft 7 is inserted is opened. In this way, by aligning the pointer shaft 7 with the hole 3b and pushing the movement 5 from the outside of the support piece 10, the movement 5 can be held by the elastic action of this support piece, and then the mounting plate through the hole 3b of the gap 4
The pointer 8 may be attached to the pointer shaft 7 that protrudes inward.

Although the cover 1 is a transparent member, it is preferable from a design point of view if the surface of the mounting plate 3, which is integrally connected thereto, is given a satin-like smoke finish. Further, the front cover 1 and the mounting plate 3 may be made of separate members and connected together. Furthermore, the latch 9 may be integrally attached to the movement 5.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the structure of the entire timepiece can be extremely simplified, and the number of parts can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, since it is easy to manufacture and assemble, it is inexpensive.
