Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an alarm clock.

Some conventional alarm clocks are provided with a light button to illuminate the time display at night to tell the time. This light button is on the front of the watch,
They are installed in various places such as the back, but they are attached separately from the alarm button to stop the alarm sound, which makes button operation complicated and the appearance of the clock complicated. There was an inconvenience.

The present invention provides an alarm clock that is easy to operate and has a simple appearance by configuring a light button and a ring stop button into a single operation button.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first and second illustrations, the frame of the watch is the front frame 1.
The front frame 1 has a time display section 3 on its front side, and a movement 4 on its back side. The upper end of the operating button 6 protrudes from an opening 5 provided between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, and the lower end of the operating button is connected to the upper surface of the anti-squeal lever 7. The anti-squeak lever 7 is movable up and down relative to the movement 4, and is held by a return spring 7a (shown in the second figure) latched upward. This opens a reference switch (not shown) located at the top of the screen. Guide plates 8 and 9 extend from the front frame 1, sandwiching the operation button 6 and the anti-squeal lever 7. A fan-shaped flange portion 10 is formed in the middle of the operation button 6. The flange portion 10 consists of an inclined flange portion 10a that slopes downward, and a horizontal operating flange portion 10b. At the lower position of the flange part 10, there is a switch 1.
One contact piece 12, 13 extends facing each other, and contact points 11a, 11b are provided facing each other. The contact piece 12 extends from the tip of the horizontal plate-like portion 13a further along the outer periphery of the operation button 6,
The inclined part 13b that slopes and rises, and the operating collar part 1
0b and a horizontal operation section 13c that is in contact with the operating section 13c. Triangular adjustment pieces 14a and 14b protrude from the lower end of the operation button 6 in opposite directions.
The degree determining piece 14a enters the lower surface of the guide plate 8 by rotating the operation button 6 in the lowered position, and the degree determining piece 14b enters the lower surface of the locking part 9a provided by cutting out the lower corner of the guide plate 9. This restricts the upward movement of the operating button 6.

As shown in the first and second figures, a lamp 15 for illuminating the time display section is connected in series to a switch 11 and a power source 16. 17 is a set mark,
It is provided on the upper surface of the operation button 6, and when the set mark 17 is in the forward position as shown in FIG. 3, it is the set position, and when it is in the oblique position as shown in FIG. 6, it is the off position. Reference numeral 18 denotes a stopper with which one end surface of the adjustment piece 14a comes into contact to regulate the position when the adjustment piece 14a is in the set state.

With this configuration, when the alarm is set, the operation button 6 is in the raised position as shown in the first to third figures, and the switch 11 is open.
Therefore, the lamp 16 is extinguished. If you want to know the time by illuminating the time display section at night, press down on the operation button 6. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the operating collar portion 10b of the collar portion 10 pushes down the contact piece 12 and bends it, causing the contact point 11a to come into elastic contact with the contact piece 11b. Since the contact 11 is closed in this way, the lamp 15 is lit and the time can be read. When the operation button 6 is released, the spring force of the return spring 7a returns it to the original raised position. When the set time has elapsed, the indicator switch in the movement 4 closes to issue a time signal. When the operation button 6 is pressed down, the reference switch in the movement is opened by the stop lever 7 to temporarily stop the time reporting, and at the same time, the switch 11 is closed and the lamp 15 is turned on in the same manner as described above. When the operating button 6 is released, it returns to the raised position in the same manner as above. After a predetermined short period of time, the guide switch will close again and signal the time, so this time, in order to permanently stop the ringing,
After pressing down the operated button again, rotate it counterclockwise as shown in Figure 6, the degree setting piece 14
a enters the lower surface of the guide plate 8, and at the same time the degree determining piece 14b enters the lower surface of the locking portion 9a of the guide plate 9. As a result, even if the operating button 6 is released, it is no longer possible to return to the raised position, and the reference switch is kept open, permanently stopping the ringing. At this time, as shown in FIG.
0 slides on the lower surface of the inclined flange 10a and returns to the horizontal state, but the operating flange 10b comes into contact with the operating part 13c of the contact piece 13 and prevents the contact piece 13 from restoring, so the contact 11a moves away from 11b. It is kept remote, ie the switch 11 is open and the lamp 15 is extinguished.

As described above, according to the present invention, the illumination of the time display section and the operation to stop the ringing can be performed with one operation button and one switch. At the same time, it is extremely easy to check the time, the external structure is simple, and the cost can be reduced due to the simple structure.
