Abstract

Eine Uhr (11), insbesondere eine Armbanduhr, soll in als solcher bekannter Weise mit Schaltern ausgestattet werden, die durch Druckausübung auf den Uhrglas-Rand betätigbar sind - wobei die Auslegung jedoch eine zuverlässigere Wirkungsweise und einen kompakteren Aufbau erbringen soll. Als Schalter sind dafür praktisch wegfrei auf Druck ansprechende Piezo-Sensoren (19) vorgesehen, die zwischen den Rändern des Uhrglases (13) und einer Keramik-Trägerscheibe (14) eingespannt sind. Letztere dient als Substrat für sichtseitig integrierte photoelektrische Konverter (Siliziumsolarzellen 25), und für integrierte Schaltungsverbindungen sowie als mechanischer Träger für eine Multilayer-Schaltung (21) und eine Werkkapsel (24) auf der vom Uhrglas (13) abgewandten Seite der Trägerscheibe (14). Im Gehäuse (12) ist neben der Werkkapsel (24) noch Raum für einen Solarstrom-Speicher (23) und für eine abgestimmte magnetische Langwellen-Antenne (27) mit gebogen längs der Gehäuse-Innenwand verlaufendem Kern (28).

Figure 00000001
A watch (11), in particular a wristwatch, is to be equipped in a manner known per se with switches which can be actuated by exerting pressure on the edge of the watchglass - the design, however, being intended to provide a more reliable mode of operation and a more compact structure. Piezo sensors (19) which respond to pressure and are clamped between the edges of the watch glass (13) and a ceramic carrier plate (14) are provided as switches with practically no path. The latter serves as a substrate for photoelectric converters (silicon solar cells 25) integrated on the visible side, and for integrated circuit connections and as a mechanical carrier for a multilayer circuit (21) and a work capsule (24) on the side of the carrier disk (14) facing away from the watch glass (13). , In addition to the work capsule (24), there is also space in the housing (12) for a solar power store (23) and for a coordinated magnetic long-wave antenna (27) with a core (28) running along the inside wall of the housing.
