Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transparent analog time clock according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a clock is such.
- B. the well-known wristwatch "Eterna Matic Gold Club” (JSH Swiss Watch and Jewelry Journal Export 3/86, page 520), whose pointer drive mechanism is visible through a sapphire crystal in the bottom of the watch. The attraction of this watch is seen in the fact that the movement of the mechanical movement can be observed.
- a pointer-analog clock with a ring-shaped clock chassis and two or more hands is known.
- the hands of this clock have no central drive.
- the hands are attached to tires which are suitably rotated by a mechanical drive.
- All necessary drive parts are housed in the ring-shaped watch chassis, so that the center can be completely open.
- the free space in the center of the clock can e.g. use for advertising.
- a pocket or wristwatch is known from US Pat. No. 4,525,077 which is ring-shaped with a large central opening. In this opening, optional jewelry inserts can be used, the z. B. wear a monogram. The actual watch has no hands, but shows the time with moving, ring-shaped scales.
- a transparent multi-disc time clock is known.
- This known transparent multi-disc time clock which is designed with discs arranged one behind the other, is characterized in that transparent or translucent discs with pointer symbols are used for displaying the time.
- Several transparent panes are mounted on a base. Disks with number symbols are fixed, the disks with pointer symbols are rotatably mounted.
- a modified clockwork is housed in the base, from which the disks with the pointer symbols are driven by means of friction or gear wheels.
- an analog time clock of the type mentioned which is characterized in that the dial is also transparent is that the hollow shaft of each pointer is driven by a transparent, disc-shaped gear and that its drive is arranged invisibly in the housing ring.
- the structure of the analog time clock according to the invention ensures that the inside is practically transparent and that there is the peculiar appearance that the parts necessary for driving are removed from the eye of the beholder, but this still reads real hands like in a known clock can.
- the transparent disks and / or the transparent gears can also be produced with color tints.
- a central second hand is additionally provided, which is driven by a further transparent, disk-shaped gear.
- the third transparent gearwheel can be produced with different color tones, a particular aesthetic effect being achieved by the fact that the different transparent discs and / or gearwheels are colored only on a part of their surface, with different patterns resulting from relative movements to one another.
- a first embodiment of the timer provides that the gear wheel for the hour hand, the gear wheel for the minute hand and possibly the gear wheel for the second hand can each be driven by their own drive mechanism.
- This version of the clock has the advantage that several relatively small drives can be accommodated in the housing ring distributed over the circumference of the clock. By preferably electrical or electronic synchronization between the Drive units are then ensured that the required ratio of the rotational speeds of the hour hand to the minute hand and possibly to the second hand is maintained.
- An alternative embodiment of the analog time clock according to the invention provides that the gear for the hour hand, the gear for the minute hand and optionally the gear for the second hand can be driven by a single common drive train with a gear.
- This design of the clock offers the advantage that no electrical or electronic synchronization of several drive mechanisms is required, since the required common rotational speed conditions are inevitably ensured by the single common drive mechanism and the associated gear. Also, only the cost of a drive mechanism is incurred in the manufacture of the watch.
- the dial is preferably a round disk. However, there are other forms of the dial, such as a polygon or oval, executable.
- the watch according to the invention can be designed as a chronometer, at least one additional hand being present which can be rotated eccentrically on the dial and which is driven by yet another transparent disk-shaped gear wheel.
- a separate scale is expediently provided for each additional pointer, which preferably has a diameter that is smaller than half the diameter of the dial.
- the chronometer there are several scales, for example three, one of which has a diameter that is slightly larger than half the diameter of the dial.
- the associated hand is dimensioned so that it does not sweep over the center of the dial, so that it does not collide with the hollow shafts of hour and minute hands located there. This makes it easy to read, for example, a stopwatch function.
- Coloring of the small transparent gears can also be carried out here.
- each additional pointer can be driven by a separate drive mechanism. This makes it possible to use the additional hands for functions which are independent of the drive or the drives for hour and minute hands and, if appropriate, second hands, for example for a stopwatch or for a short-time clock running backwards from a predeterminable time.
- the drive mechanisms can be operated electrically by at least one battery, the drive mechanisms and the battery being arranged outside the visible part of the dial in the housing ring.
- the housing ring is expediently made of non-transparent material, for example a noble metal alloy, and thus hides the elements necessary for the drive from the viewer's eye.
- the transparent disks and gearwheels and the transparent dial made of acrylic glass or mineral glass or quartz glass are expedient in order to ensure sufficient durability while maintaining transparency even over longer operating times of the watch.
- an analog time watch 10 has a housing ring 12 which forms the radially outer part of the watch case, with a transparent disk 13 as the watch glass on top and with a further transparent disk 14 as the case back.
- a circular transparent dial 11 Inside the clock 10 is a circular transparent dial 11, the markings of which by lines or numbers for reasons the clarity of the illustration are omitted.
- the dial 11 has a central bore through which a shaft 15 projects, which carries a second hand 26 on its end lying above the dial 11 in a manner known per se.
- the other end of the shaft 15 is applied vertically to a transparent gear 17, which is also made of a transparent material and whose teeth, like that of the other gears, are not shown for reasons of illustration.
- the diameter of the gear 17 corresponds approximately to that of the disks 13 and 14.
- the gear 17 is driven by a pinion 18, which in turn is driven by a drive mechanism 19, the outlines of which are only shown schematically, since such a drive mechanism is known to the person skilled in the art.
- a hollow shaft 20 is arranged around the shaft 15, the length of which is somewhat smaller than that of the shaft 15, so that a minute hand 21 and the second hand 26 carried by the hollow shaft 20 pass each other without touching one another.
- the hollow shaft 20 carries the minute hand 21 at its upper end and is mounted vertically on a gearwheel 22 at the other end, the gearwheel 22 likewise being made of transparent material and being driven by a pinion 23, which in turn can be driven by a drive mechanism 24, which is also only shown in outline.
- a second hollow shaft 25 is arranged, which carries an hour hand 16 at its upper end and is arranged vertically at the lower end on a gear 27, which is also made of transparent material and like the other two gears 17 and 22 with a Pinion 28 and a drive mechanism 29 is driven.
- the three gears 17, 22 and 27 lie closely one above the other and are relatively flat, so that the overall flat construction of the analog timer 10 results.
- the dial 11 in addition to the above-mentioned markings (not shown), there are three approximately ring-shaped scales 30, 31, 32, which among themselves have approximately the same diameter, which in turn is smaller than half the diameter of the dial 11.
- the three scales 30, 31 and 32 are not detailed so as not to complicate the illustration; their execution is known to the average specialist depending on the purpose of the scale.
- Centrally in the scales 30, 31 and 32 are holes, through which a shaft 33, 34, 35 protrudes, which carries at its free upper end a pointer 36, 37, 38, the z. B. for a stopwatch function and a day display or a monthly display can be set up.
- the three shafts 33, 34, 35 are each mounted vertically at their other end on a small gear 39; only one gear 39 with the shaft 34 in FIG. 2 is shown in the drawing, the other two shafts 33, 35 also being attached to a corresponding small gear, of course.
- Each small gear 39 is in engagement with a pinion, only one pinion 40 being shown in FIG. 2, which can be driven by a drive unit 41.
- the drive units 19, 24, 29, 41 and the two drive units not provided with reference numerals can be supplied with electrical energy by a battery 42 in a manner known per se.
- the pinions, drive mechanisms and the battery are, like the wiring (not shown) and the pointer setting devices (not shown), in the annular, approximately U-shaped in cross section Housing ring 12 housed, which is connected to the two transparent discs 13 and 14, so that there is a completely closed housing.
- the housing is kept very simple, although it goes without saying that all customary shapes can be used for the configuration.
- FIG. 3 of the drawing shows an embodiment of the analog time clock 10, in which, in contrast to the embodiment previously described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the second hand 26, minute hand 21 and hour hand 16 are driven by a single common drive mechanism 190.
- this drive mechanism 190 is also concealed within the housing ring 12 for the viewer.
- the drive train 190 is followed by a multi-stage reduction gear 180, which ensures the corresponding rotational speed relationships between the three gear wheels for the three pointers 26, 21, 16.
- the analog time clock 10 can be designed both as a portable small clock, for example a shoulder clock, pocket watch or wristwatch, and as a hanging wall clock or standing table clock.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine durchsichtige Analog-Zeituhr nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a transparent analog time clock according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine derartige Uhr ist z. B. die aus der Praxis bekannte Armbanduhr "Eterna Matic Gold Club" (JSH Schweizer Uhren- und Schmuckjournal Export 3/86, Seite 520), deren Zeigerantriebswerk durch ein Saphirglas im Boden der Uhr sichtbar ist. Der Reiz dieser Uhr wird gerade darin gesehen, daß die Bewegung des hier mechanischen Werks beobachtbar ist.Such a clock is such. B. the well-known wristwatch "Eterna Matic Gold Club" (JSH Swiss Watch and Jewelry Journal Export 3/86, page 520), whose pointer drive mechanism is visible through a sapphire crystal in the bottom of the watch. The attraction of this watch is seen in the fact that the movement of the mechanical movement can be observed.
Es sind auch durchsichtige Uhren mit Stabwerken bekannt, z. B. die auf einem Sockel stehend angeordnete Pendulette "Masai" von Jaeger LeCoultre aus dem Jahr 1932 (JSP Schweizer Uhren- und Schmuckjournal Export 6/85, Seite 850). Auch hier ist das mechanische Werk sichtbar.There are also known transparent clocks with bars, z. B. the pendulum "Masai" by Jaeger LeCoultre, standing on a base, from 1932 (JSP Swiss Watch and Jewelry Journal Export 6/85, page 850). The mechanical movement is also visible here.
Aus der DE 42 26 926 A1 ist eine Zeiger-Analog-Uhr mit reifförmigem Uhr-Chassis und zwei oder mehr Zeigern bekannt. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Zeiger-Analog-Uhren haben die Zeiger dieser Uhr keinen zentralen Antrieb. Die Zeiger sind an Reifen befestigt, die in geeigneter Weise durch einen mechanischen Antrieb rotierend bewegt werden.From DE 42 26 926 A1 a pointer-analog clock with a ring-shaped clock chassis and two or more hands is known. In contrast to conventional pointer-analog clocks, the hands of this clock have no central drive. The hands are attached to tires which are suitably rotated by a mechanical drive.
Alle notwendigen Antriebsteile sind im reifförmigen Uhr-Chassis untergebracht, so daß das Zentrum völlig offen sein kann. Den freien Raum im Zentrum der Uhr kann man z.B. für Werbung nutzen.All necessary drive parts are housed in the ring-shaped watch chassis, so that the center can be completely open. The free space in the center of the clock can e.g. use for advertising.
Aus der US-PS-4 525 077 ist eine Taschen- oder Armbanduhr bekannt, die ringförmig ist mit einer großen zentralen Öffnung. In diese Öffnung sind wahlweise Schmuckeinsätze einsetzbar, die z. B. ein Monogramm tragen. Die eigentliche Uhr hat keine Zeiger, sondern zeigt die Zeit durch bewegte, ringförmige Skalen an.A pocket or wristwatch is known from US Pat. No. 4,525,077 which is ring-shaped with a large central opening. In this opening, optional jewelry inserts can be used, the z. B. wear a monogram. The actual watch has no hands, but shows the time with moving, ring-shaped scales.
Aus der DE-OS 25 48 559 ist eine durchsichtigte Mehrscheiben-Zeituhr bekannt. Diese bekannte durchsichtige Mehrscheiben-Zeituhr, die mit hintereinander angeordneten Scheiben ausgeführt ist, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß durchsichtige oder durchscheinende Scheiben mit Zeigersymbolen zur Zeitanzeige verwendet werden. Dabei werden mehrere durchsichtige Scheiben auf einem Sockel montiert. Mit Ziffernsymbolen versehene Scheiben sind feststehend, die mit den Zeigersymbolen versehenen Scheiben sind drehbar gelagert. In dem Sockel ist ein abgewandeltes Uhrwerk untergebracht, von dem mittels Reib- oder Zahnrädern die Scheiben mit den Zeigersymbolen angetrieben werden.From DE-OS 25 48 559 a transparent multi-disc time clock is known. This known transparent multi-disc time clock, which is designed with discs arranged one behind the other, is characterized in that transparent or translucent discs with pointer symbols are used for displaying the time. Several transparent panes are mounted on a base. Disks with number symbols are fixed, the disks with pointer symbols are rotatably mounted. A modified clockwork is housed in the base, from which the disks with the pointer symbols are driven by means of friction or gear wheels.
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine durchsichtige Analog-Zeituhr zu schaffen, die aufgrund ihres Aufbaus eine besondere und eigenartige ästhetische Wirkung hat, wobei zentral angetriebene reale Zeiger vorhanden sein sollen und das Werk nicht sichtbar sein soll.It is an object of the present invention to provide a transparent analog time clock which, due to its structure, has a special and peculiar aesthetic effect, with centrally driven real hands being present and the movement not being visible.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe gelingt erfindungsgemäß mit einer Analog-Zeituhr der eingangs genannten Art, welche dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß auch das Zifferblatt durchsichtig ist, daß die Hohlwelle jedes Zeigers über ein durchsichtiges, scheibenförmiges Zahnrad angetrieben ist und daß dessen Antrieb unsichtbar in dem Gehäusering angeordnet ist.The object is achieved according to the invention with an analog time clock of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that the dial is also transparent is that the hollow shaft of each pointer is driven by a transparent, disc-shaped gear and that its drive is arranged invisibly in the housing ring.
Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau der Analog-Zeituhr wird erreicht, daß diese im Inneren praktisch durchsichtig ist und sich die eigentümliche Erscheinung ergibt, daß die zum Antrieb nötigen Teile dem Auge des Betrachters entzogen sind, wobei dieser aber dennoch wie bei einer bekannten Uhr reale Zeiger ablesen kann.The structure of the analog time clock according to the invention ensures that the inside is practically transparent and that there is the peculiar appearance that the parts necessary for driving are removed from the eye of the beholder, but this still reads real hands like in a known clock can.
Um besondere Wirkungen zu erzeugen, können die durchsichtigen Scheiben und/oder die durchsichtigen Zahnräder auch mit Farbtönungen hergestellt werden.In order to produce special effects, the transparent disks and / or the transparent gears can also be produced with color tints.
Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, daß zusätzlich ein zentraler Sekundenzeiger vorhanden ist, der über ein weiteres durchsichtiges, scheibenförmiges Zahnrad angetrieben ist. Auch in diesem Falle ist das dritte durchsichtige Zahnrad mit verschiedenen Farbtönungen herstellbar, wobei ein besonderer ästhetischer Effekt dadurch erzielbar ist, daß die verschiedenen durchsichtigen Scheiben und/ oder Zahnräder nur auf einem Teil ihrer Fläche gefärbt sind, wobei sich durch Relativbewegungen zueinander verschiedene Muster ergeben.It is preferably provided that a central second hand is additionally provided, which is driven by a further transparent, disk-shaped gear. In this case, too, the third transparent gearwheel can be produced with different color tones, a particular aesthetic effect being achieved by the fact that the different transparent discs and / or gearwheels are colored only on a part of their surface, with different patterns resulting from relative movements to one another.
Eine erste Ausgestaltung der Zeituhr sieht vor, daß das Zahnrad für den Stundenzeiger, das Zahnrad für den Minutenzeiger und gegebenenfalls das Zahnrad für den Sekundenzeiger über je ein eigenes Antriebswerk antreibbar sind. Diese Ausführung der Uhr bietet den Vorteil, daß mehrere für sich jeweils relativ kleine Antriebswerke über den Umfang der Uhr verteilt in dem Gehäusering untergebracht werden können. Durch eine vorzugsweise elektrische oder elektronische Synchronisation zwischen den Antriebswerken wird dann für die Einhaltung des erforderlichen Verhältnisses der Drehgeschwindigkeiten von Stundenzeiger zu Minutenzeiger und gegebenenfalls zu Sekundenzeiger gesorgt.A first embodiment of the timer provides that the gear wheel for the hour hand, the gear wheel for the minute hand and possibly the gear wheel for the second hand can each be driven by their own drive mechanism. This version of the clock has the advantage that several relatively small drives can be accommodated in the housing ring distributed over the circumference of the clock. By preferably electrical or electronic synchronization between the Drive units are then ensured that the required ratio of the rotational speeds of the hour hand to the minute hand and possibly to the second hand is maintained.
Eine alternative Ausführung der Analog-Zeituhr gemäß Erfindung sieht vor, daß das Zahnrad für den Stundenzeiger, das Zahnrad für den Minutenzeiger und gegebenenfalls das Zahnrad für den Sekundenzeiger über ein einziges gemeinsames Antriebswerk mit einem Getriebe antreibbar sind. Diese Ausgestaltung der Uhr bietet den Vorteil, daß keine elektrische oder elektronische Synchronisation mehrerer Antriebswerke benötigt wird, da durch das einzige gemeinsame Antriebswerk und das zugehörige Getriebe die erforderlichen Drehgeschwindigkeits-Verhältnisse zwangsläufig sichergestellt sind. Auch fallen bei der Herstellung der Uhr nur die Kosten für ein Antriebswerk an.An alternative embodiment of the analog time clock according to the invention provides that the gear for the hour hand, the gear for the minute hand and optionally the gear for the second hand can be driven by a single common drive train with a gear. This design of the clock offers the advantage that no electrical or electronic synchronization of several drive mechanisms is required, since the required common rotational speed conditions are inevitably ensured by the single common drive mechanism and the associated gear. Also, only the cost of a drive mechanism is incurred in the manufacture of the watch.
Bevorzugt ist das Zifferblatt eine runde Scheibe. Es sind jedoch auch andere Formen des Zifferblattes, wie z.B. ein Mehreck oder Oval, ausführbar.The dial is preferably a round disk. However, there are other forms of the dial, such as a polygon or oval, executable.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist die erfindungsgemäße Uhr als Chronometer ausführbar, wobei mindestens ein weiterer Zeiger vorhanden ist, der exzentrisch auf dem Zifferblatt drehbar ist und der über ein noch weiteres durchsichtiges scheibenförmiges Zahnrad angetrieben ist.In a further embodiment, the watch according to the invention can be designed as a chronometer, at least one additional hand being present which can be rotated eccentrically on the dial and which is driven by yet another transparent disk-shaped gear wheel.
Bei dieser Ausführung ist zweckmäßig für jeden weiteren Zeiger eine eigene Skala vorgesehen, wobei diese bevorzugt einen Durchmesser aufweist, der kleiner ist als der halbe Durchmesser des Zifferblattes.In this embodiment, a separate scale is expediently provided for each additional pointer, which preferably has a diameter that is smaller than half the diameter of the dial.
In einer anderen Ausführung des Chronometers sind mehrere Skalen, beispielsweise drei vorhanden, von denen eine einen Durchmesser aufweist, der etwas größer als der halbe Durchmesser des Zifferblattes ist. Der zugehörige Zeiger ist dabei aber so bemessen, daß er das Zentrum des Zifferblattes nicht überstreicht, so daß er nicht mit den dort liegenden Hohlwellen von Stunden- und Minutenzeiger kollidiert. Damit ist eine gute Ablesbarkeit beispielsweise einer Stoppuhrfunktion gegeben.In another version of the chronometer, there are several scales, for example three, one of which has a diameter that is slightly larger than half the diameter of the dial. The associated hand is dimensioned so that it does not sweep over the center of the dial, so that it does not collide with the hollow shafts of hour and minute hands located there. This makes it easy to read, for example, a stopwatch function.
In einer noch weiteren Ausführung des Chronometers sind keine Wellen mit daran befestigten Zeigern für die Skalen mit kleinerem Durchmesser als dem halben Ziffernblattdurchmesser vorhanden, sondern es ist stattdessen jeweils ein Zeigersymbol auf dem kleinen Zahnrad angebracht. Die Drehlagerung des kleinen Zahnrades erfolgt jeweils z.B. auf einer Zentralachse im Zahnradmittelpunkt oder in einer runden Ausnehmung in einer ringförmigen durchsichtigen Scheibe unterhalb des Zifferblattes.In a still further version of the chronometer there are no shafts with attached pointers for the scales with a diameter smaller than half the dial diameter, but instead there is a pointer symbol on the small gear wheel instead. The rotation of the small gear is done e.g. on a central axis in the center of the gear or in a round recess in an annular transparent disc below the dial.
Dadurch sind in an sich bekannter Weise weitere Zeitanzeigefunktionen auf der Analog-Zeituhr anbringbar, wobei die besondere Wirkung darin liegt, daß das Innere der Uhr dennoch voll durchsichtig bleibt.As a result, further time display functions can be attached to the analog time clock in a manner known per se, the special effect being that the inside of the clock nevertheless remains fully transparent.
Auch hier sind Färbtönungen der kleinen durchsichtigen Zahnräder durchführbar.Coloring of the small transparent gears can also be carried out here.
Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, daß das Zahnrad jedes weiteren Zeigers über je ein eigenes Antriebswerk antreibbar ist. Hierdurch wird die Möglichkeit geboten, die weiteren Zeiger für Funktionen zu nutzen, die von dem Antrieb oder den Antrieben für Stunden- und Minutenzeiger sowie gegebenenfalls Sekundenzeiger unabhängig sind, beispielsweise für eine Stoppuhr oder für eine von einer vorgebbaren Zeit aus rückwärts laufende Kurzzeituhr.It is preferably provided that the gear of each additional pointer can be driven by a separate drive mechanism. This makes it possible to use the additional hands for functions which are independent of the drive or the drives for hour and minute hands and, if appropriate, second hands, for example for a stopwatch or for a short-time clock running backwards from a predeterminable time.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung sind die Antriebswerke durch mindestens eine Batterie elektrisch betreibbar, wobei die Antriebswerke und die Batterie außerhalb des sichtbaren Teils des Zifferblatts im Gehäusering angeordnet sind. Der Gehäusering ist zweckmäßig aus nicht-durchsichtigem Material, beispielsweise einer Edelmetall-Legierung, gefertigt und verbirgt damit die zum Antrieb nötigen Elemente dem Auge des Betrachters.In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanisms can be operated electrically by at least one battery, the drive mechanisms and the battery being arranged outside the visible part of the dial in the housing ring. The housing ring is expediently made of non-transparent material, for example a noble metal alloy, and thus hides the elements necessary for the drive from the viewer's eye.
Zweckmäßig sind die durchsichtigen Scheiben und Zahnräder und das durchsichtige Zifferblatt aus Acrylglas oder Mineralglas oder Quarzglas, um eine ausreichende Haltbarkeit bei Erhaltung der Durchsichtigkeit auch über längere Betriebszeiten der Uhr zu gewährleisten.The transparent disks and gearwheels and the transparent dial made of acrylic glass or mineral glass or quartz glass are expedient in order to ensure sufficient durability while maintaining transparency even over longer operating times of the watch.

Mit Bezugnahme auf Figur 1 und 2 weist das dargestellte Beispiel einer Analog-Zeituhr 10 einen den radial äußeren Teil des Uhrgehäuses bildenden Gehäusering 12 mit einer durchsichtigen Scheibe 13 als obenliegendes Uhrglas und mit einer weiteren durchsichtigen Scheibe 14 als Gehäuseboden auf. Im Inneren der Uhr 10 ist ein kreisrundes durchsichtiges Zifferblatt 11 angeordnet, dessen Markierungen durch Striche oder Ziffern aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit der Darstellung weggelassen sind. Das Zifferblatt 11 weist eine zentrische Bohrung auf, durch die eine Welle 15 ragt, die auf ihrem über dem Zifferblatt 11 liegenden Ende in an sich bekannter Weise einen Sekundenzeiger 26 trägt. Das andere Ende der Welle 15 ist senkrecht auf einem durchsichtigen Zahnrad 17 aufgebracht, das ebenfalls aus einem durchsichtigen Material gefertigt ist und dessen Verzahnung, wie auch die der übrigen Zahnräder, aus Darstellungsgründen nicht gezeigt ist. Der Durchmesser des Zahnrads 17 entspricht etwa dem der Scheiben 13 und 14. Das Zahnrad 17 wird durch ein Ritzel 18 angetrieben, das wiederum durch ein Antriebswerk 19 angetrieben ist, wobei lediglich schematisch dessen Umrisse dargestellt sind, da dem Durchschnittsfachmann ein derartiges Antriebswerk bekannt ist.With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the illustrated example of an
Um die Welle 15 herum ist eine Hohlwelle 20 angeordnet, deren Länge etwas kleiner ist als die der Welle 15, damit ein von der Hohlwelle 20 getragener Minutenzeiger 21 und der Sekundenzeiger 26 aneinander vorbeigehen, ohne sich zu berühren. Die Hohlwelle 20 trägt den Minutenzeiger 21 an ihrem oberen Ende und ist am anderen Ende senkrecht auf einem Zahnrad 22 angebracht, wobei das Zahnrad 22 ebenfalls aus durchsichtigem Material gefertigt ist und von einem Ritzel 23 angetrieben ist, das wiederum von einem Antriebswerk 24 antreibbar ist, das ebenfalls nur in Umrissen dargestellt ist.A
Um die Hohlwelle 20 herum ist eine zweite Hohlwelle 25 angeordnet, die an ihrem oberen Ende einen Stundenzeiger 16 trägt und am unteren Ende senkrecht auf einem Zahnrad 27 angeordnet ist, das ebenfalls aus durchsichtigem Werkstoff besteht und wie die anderen beiden Zahnrädern 17 und 22 mit einem Ritzel 28 und einem Antriebswerk 29 angetrieben ist.Around the
Die drei Zahnräder 17, 22 und 27 liegen dicht übereinander und sind relativ flach, so daß sich ein insgesamt flacher Aufbau der Analog-Zeituhr 10 ergibt.The three gears 17, 22 and 27 lie closely one above the other and are relatively flat, so that the overall flat construction of the
Auf dem Zifferblatt 11 sind außer den oben erwähnten, nicht dargestellten Markierungen drei etwa ringförmige Skalen 30, 31, 32 angebracht, die untereinander etwa den gleichen Durchmesser aufweisen, der seinerseits kleiner ist als der halbe Durchmesser des Zifferblatts 11. Die drei Skalen 30, 31 und 32 sind nicht im Detail ausgeführt, um die Darstellung nicht zu verkomplizieren; ihre Ausführung ist dem Durchschnittsfachmann je nach Zweck der Skala bekannt. Zentrisch in den Skalen 30, 31 und 32 sind Bohrungen angebracht, durch die jeweils eine Welle 33, 34, 35 ragt, die an ihrem freien oberen Ende jeweils einen Zeiger 36, 37, 38 trägt, der z. B. für eine Stoppuhrfunktion und eine Tagesanzeige oder eine Monatsanzeige einrichtbar ist.On the
Die drei Wellen 33, 34, 35 sind jeweils an ihrem anderen Ende senkrecht auf je einem kleinen Zahnrad 39 angebracht; in der Zeichnung ist nur das eine Zahnrad 39 mit der Welle 34 in Figur 2 dargestellt, wobei selbstverständlich auch die anderen beiden Wellen 33, 35 auf einem entsprechenden kleinen Zahnrad angebracht sind. Jedes kleine Zahnrad 39 ist mit einem Ritzel im Eingriff, wobei in Figur 2 nur ein Ritzel 40 dargestellt ist, das durch eine Antriebseinheit 41 antreibbar ist.The three
Die Antriebswerke 19, 24, 29, 41 und die beiden nicht mit Bezugszeichen versehenen Antriebswerke sind durch eine Batterie 42 in an sich bekannter Weise mit elektrischer Energie versorgbar. Die Ritzel, Antriebswerke und die Batterie sind ebenso wie die nicht dargestellte Verdrahtung und die nicht dargestellten Zeiger-Einstelleinrichtungen in dem ringförmigen, im Querschnitt etwa U-förmigen Gehäusering 12 untergebracht, der mit den zwei durchsichtigen Scheiben 13 und 14 verbunden ist, so daß sich ein rundum geschlossenes Gehäuse ergibt. Das Gehäuse ist in der vorliegenden schematischen Darstellung sehr schlicht gehalten, wobei es sich jedoch von selbst versteht, daß alle üblichen Formen zur Ausgestaltung verwendbar sind.The
Figur 3 der Zeichnung zeigt eine Ausführung der Analog-Zeituhr 10, bei welcher im Unterschied zu der zuvor anhand der Figuren 1 und 2 beschriebenen Ausführung der Antrieb von Sekundenzeiger 26, Minutenzeiger 21 und Stundenzeiger 16 über ein einziges gemeinsames Antriebswerk 190 erfolgt. Dieses Antriebswerk 190 ist auch bei dieser Ausführung der Uhr 10 innerhalb des Gehäuseringes 12 für den Betrachter verdeckt angeordnet. Dem Antriebswerk 190 ist ein mehrstufiges Untersetzungsgetriebe 180 nachgeordnet, das für die entsprechenden Drehgeschwindigkeitsverhältnisse zwischen den drei Zahnrädern für die drei Zeiger 26, 21, 16 sorgt.FIG. 3 of the drawing shows an embodiment of the
