Description

BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION Die Situation:The situation:

Viele Menschen sind, im Zuge zunehmender Mobilität, häufig unterwegs und bewegen sich dabei in verschiedenen Zeitzonen.As mobility increases, many people are often on the move and move in different time zones.

Das Problem:The problem:

Im allgemeinen werden bei Reisen Reisewecker mitgeführt, die in anderen Zeitzonen umständlich umgestellt werden müssen. Dieses ist bei häufigem Reisen zwischen verschiedenen Zeitzonen besonders lästig.When travelling, people generally take alarm clocks with them, which have to be adjusted in a complicated way in different time zones. This is particularly annoying when travelling frequently between different time zones.

Die Idee:The idea:

Ein Reisewecker dessen Vorderseite (und Rückseite) ein regelmäßiges 12-Eck ist und der somit 12 Seitenflächen hat (Abb.l).A travel alarm clock whose front (and back) is a regular 12-gon and which therefore has 12 sides (Fig. 1).

Dieser Wecker muß nicht mehr umgestellt, sondern nur noch richtig "hingestellt" werden.This alarm clock no longer needs to be changed, it just needs to be "set" correctly.

Die 12 Dreiecke die sich so auf der Vorderseite ergeben (oder die 12 seitlichen Flächen), könnten z.B. farblich unterschiedlich markiert werden. Auf der Rückseite (Abb.2) wird dann der Farbencode den unterschiedlichen Zeitzonen zugeordnet1.The 12 triangles that form on the front (or the 12 sides) could be marked with different colors, for example. On the back (Fig. 2) the color code is then assigned to the different time zones 1 .

Bei Reisen in eine andere Zeitzone ordnet der Benutzer nur noch die betreffende Zeitzone der richtigen Farbe zu und stellt den Wecker so auf, daß diese Farbe nach oben zeigt.When traveling to a different time zone, the user simply assigns the relevant time zone to the correct color and sets the alarm clock so that this color faces upwards.

1 verschiedene Zuordnungsprinzipien sind möglich.1 different allocation principles are possible.

Man könnte z.B.die Rückseite abnehmbar gestalten: Im Inneren befinden sich die verschiedenen Einstellknöpfe. Der Knopf WECKEN AN/AUS ist allerdings von außen zugänglich (Loch).For example, the back could be made removable: the various setting buttons are located inside. However, the ALARM ON/OFF button is accessible from the outside (hole).

Auf den beiden Flächen der Rückseite ist je eine Hälfte der Erde abgebildet (Abb.3).On the two sides of the back each half of the earth is depicted (Fig. 3).

Die verschiedenen Zeitzonen sind farblich unterschiedlich, entsprechend den Farben auf der Vorderseite des Weckers, markiert.The different time zones are marked in different colors, corresponding to the colors on the front of the alarm clock.

Ein Reisender, der z.B.häufig zwischen New York und Frankfurt pendelt, weiß schnell, daß inNew York z.B. die Farbe Blau und in Frankfurt die Farbe Gelb nach oben zeigen muß.A traveler who frequently commutes between New York and Frankfurt, for example, quickly knows that in New York, for example, the color blue must point upwards and in Frankfurt the color yellow must point upwards.

BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION

Die Steuerung des Minutenzeigers erfolgt durch ein separates Uhrwerk, welches in der ap2 Achse frei gelagert ist und sich aufgrund einer Unwucht, beim Umstellen des Weckers auf eine andere Fläche, entsprechend der Schwerkraft automatisch richtig einstellt.
Eine andere (billigere) Möglichkeit wäre, wie bei modernen Uhren häufiger zu sehen, den Minutenzeiger einfach wegzulassen. Dieses würde die Funktion eines Reiseweckers nicht beeinträchtigen.The minute hand is controlled by a separate clockwork, which is freely mounted in the ap 2 axis and, due to an imbalance, automatically adjusts itself according to gravity when the alarm clock is moved to another surface.
Another (cheaper) option would be to simply omit the minute hand, as is often seen in modern clocks. This would not affect the function of a travel alarm clock.
