Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single-hand watch for the analog display of the time - at least in hours and minutes - according to claim 1.
  • Clocks with analogue time display in which an hour hand, a minute hand and possibly a second hand rotate about a common center on a dial, are generally known as quartz watches or mechanical watches.
  • the dial is usually provided with an hour, minute and possibly seconds division. Based on the position of the pointer, the respective time is readable.
  • a clock that has only a single pointer, namely an hour hand (which performs a full turn in 12 or 24 hours).
  • Exemplary single-hand clocks are about sundials or older tower clocks that were previously equipped due to their low accuracy only with the hour hand.
  • wristwatch industry clocks are well-known with only one pointer, for example, under the brand "MeisterSinger” whose eponymous watch manufacturer has specialized in the production of mechanical single-hand watches. In such watches, the hand moves in 12 hours by 360 ° above a dial with a 5-minute subdivision, so a dial, which is divided radially into 144 stroke interval divisions.
  • a solution for a single-hand watch with a greater display accuracy is for example from the DE 10 2011 114 466 known.
  • This one-hand watch has a stationary minute dial, a minute hand, that is, a hand that makes a full turn in one hour, and an hour ring rotating concentrically with the minute hand.
  • a mechanical movement of the minute hand and the hour ring are driven in a certain ratio to each other. Due to the rotating hour dial, the orientation on the clock is difficult because it is based on clocks usually based on the uppermost standing number of hours 12 and 24 respectively. This makes reading the time much more difficult.
  • a one-hand watch is also in the EP 2 520 985 discloses: said document discloses a watch with a pointer which is movable relative to a hour dial and a minute dial. The pointer performs a full turn in twelve hours.
  • the one-hand watch has on a half of an outer annulus a stationary hour-dial and a concentrically arranged about a center rotating circular disc-shaped minute dial and a rotating about the center pointer.
  • the hour hand performs half a turn in 12 hours and then jumps 180 ° back to its starting position.
  • the single-hand watch according to the invention serves to display the time analogously, at least in hours and minutes, and has a stationary hour-hand dial, a minute dial turning at least approximately continuously around a center and an hour hand rotating at least approximately continuously clockwise about the center.
  • the term "at least approximately continuous" in this context means that the movement is perceived by the human eye as a uniformly flowing movement.
  • the one-hand watch can be designed either as a 12- or 24-hour clock.
  • the hour hand turns one full turn clockwise in 12 hours
  • the minute dial turns clockwise 13 or counterclockwise 11 times faster than the hour hand.
  • the one-hand watch according to the invention is designed as a 24-hour clock, it takes 24 hours until the hour hand has made a complete clockwise turn around the center and the minute dial turns 23 times clockwise or counterclockwise 23 times faster in this case the hour hand.
  • a rotating minute dial allows the time to be read only on the basis of a single pointer in the single-hand watch according to the invention and enables both a clear and precise time display.
  • the user does not need to focus on multiple pointer elements, but can quickly and easily read the time by looking at the hour hand's position relative to the hour hand and minute dial.
  • the exact time can be read only by looking at the hour hand, which indicates the hour on the hour dial and on the minute dial the minute (and possibly on a second dial the second).
  • the at least approximately continuous movement of the hour hand and the minute dial leaves a calm, harmonious overall impression.
  • the hour, minute and / or second dial is preferably divided into equal sections (intervals). Usually becomes the Display of the hours the hour dial divided twelve times and the minute or second dial to display the minutes or seconds 60 times. Indices, numbers or numbers are placed on the dial to represent the division, 1 to 12 or 24 for the hours, 0 to 60, often in steps of 5 or 10, for the minutes and seconds.
  • the hour dial In a 12-hour clock is the hour dial to indicate the time therefore preferably in clockwise ascending labeled with numbers 1 to 12 and preferably has a dial scale with circularly arranged, radially aligned numbers or interval divisions on. It is of course also possible to specify only the numbers 3, 6, 9 and 12 on the hour hand and, if appropriate, the other hour digits by interval divisions - e.g. Dot or bar marks - to replace.
  • the hour-hand dial is preferably provided with a time scale of 1 to 24 (or 0 to 23).
  • the minute dial also has to display the time preferably also a number in the circumferential direction of the dial evenly spaced numbers arranged (eg, luminescent numerals), number symbols and / or interval divisions, which are available for example radially outward on the dial.
  • a number in the circumferential direction of the dial evenly spaced numbers arranged (eg, luminescent numerals), number symbols and / or interval divisions which are available for example radially outward on the dial.

In addition, they are preferably aligned in the radial direction, wherein the hour digits can optionally also be aligned in the circumferential direction.
  • the hour hand moves clockwise and the minute dial counterclockwise.
  • a smaller translation from the minute dial with respect to the hour hand namely 11: 1 (at 12 o'clock) and 23: 1 (at 24 o'clock) is necessary than with the rotational movement of the minute dial moving clockwise with the hour hand, where the minute dial relative to the hour hand must be driven 13 or 25 times faster.
  • Smaller translations are advantageous in watch technology because the size of a translation often increases the inaccuracy of a mechanical watch.
  • the clock can still be designed so that the hour hand and the minute dial (and possibly the seconds dial) run clockwise. As you are For watches, clockwise moving elements are used to, this has the advantage that the reading of the clock requires no major change in reading habits.

  • the second dial is preferably circular disk-shaped or annular. Particularly preferably, the second dial forms a radially outward on the hour and / or minute dial arranged circular ring or a radially inside of the hour and / or minute dial arranged circular disc.
  • the single-hand watch has a mechanical or electric movement which serves to drive an hour wheel connected to the hour hand over an hourly wave and a minute wheel connected to the minute dial.
  • a mechanical movement for example, it is driven by a spring in a housing (so-called barrel).

  • the spring of the movement is usually constantly re-tensioned by a self-winding mechanism.
  • This self-winding mechanism consists of a vibrating mass which, due to gravity and inertia, drives a structure to the elevator of the spring when the watch is moved. So that the movement does not run too fast, but rather as accurately as possible, the gear train is also braked by an escapement, which in turn is controlled by a wheel that swings on a smaller spring (so-called balance) and an anchor fork.

Also, at the radially inner edge of the minute and seconds dials 7, 15, respectively in the circumferential direction to the left of each 5-minute interval bar 40 or 10-second interval bar 45 an associated minute or second number 35, 47 is displayed.
  • the seconds dial 15 can either be driven via a second shaft driven directly by the movement 1 or indirectly via a transmission gear meshing with the hour shaft 9 (or the minute shaft 29) and the secondary dial.
  • An indirect drive of the secondary dial 15 via a transmission gear 14 is in Fig. 10 shown here, the minute dial 7 is driven via the minute transmission gear 13 and the second dial 15 via the second transmission gear 14 of the hour shaft 9.
  • the second dial 15 has on its lower - ie clockwork side - an annular second wheel 17 with an internal toothing, which is fixedly connected to the second dial 15.
  • the second transmission gear 14 for the translation of the hour shaft 9 to the second dial 15 includes at least two meshing gears, wherein one of the gears engages the internal toothing of the second wheel 17 and the other gear with the hour shaft 9 fixed to the pinion 10 is engaged ,
  • the hourly shaft 9 is rotated directly from the movement 1.
  • the minute dial 7 is driven in the embodiment shown on the transmission gear 13 through the hour shaft 9. Since hour hand 3 and minute dial 7 both rotate clockwise, the gear ratio of hour shaft 9 to minute dial 7 is 1:25 in the embodiment shown.
  • the transmission ratio of hour shaft 9 to second dial 15 is 1: 1441.
  • the second dial 15 via a transmission gear through the minute wheel 11 and the minute shaft 29.
  • the ratio of the minute dial to the second dial would be 1 to 57.64.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show an embodiment, which is not part of the invention, the purely from the dial assembly and dial movement of that Fig. 5 but is designed as a 24-hour clock:
  • the minute dial 7 is circular disc-shaped, arranged radially inward and the stationary hour dial 5 is formed as an annular, radially outer dial.
  • the hour hand 3 is fixed to the hour shaft 9 and rotates clockwise with the clock shaft 1 directly driven by the clockwork 1.
  • the minute dial 7 is driven via the transmission gear 13 of the hour shaft 9 and moves in the counterclockwise direction. Since the hour hand 3 rotates clockwise once in 24 hours around the center 27, it is driven at a rotational speed of 15 ° per hour and the minute dial 7 moves counterclockwise at a rotational speed of 345 ° per hour.
  • the transmission ratio of hour shaft 9 to minute dial 7 is thus 1:23 in the embodiment shown.
  • FIG. 1-12 the embodiments shown is the Hour hand 3 formed in the well-known needle-shaped slim type.
  • Fig. 13 shows an embodiment, which is not part of the invention, with a particular embodiment of an hour hand 53.
  • This includes a plurality of flower-like arranged circular elements 55a-e.
  • the number of minutes 35 is displayed on the radially inner minute dial 7 and the number of hours 33 on the radially outer hour dial 5.
  • the displayed time is 15 hours 12 minutes.
  • In the two adjacent to the large circular ring 55a central annulus 55b, 55c two more rotatable dials 57, 58 are arranged.
  • a central small circle 55e one digit each of the two dials is displayed, the two digits together form a date.
  • the 26th day of the month is displayed.
  • the hour dial 5 in FIG Fig. 13 shown clock no additional interval divisions 37 but only hour numerals 33 from 0 to 23.
  • the radially inner minute dial 7 has a minute scale with minute digits 35 and minute interval divisions 39.
  • the minute intervals 39 are indicated as 60 points arranged on a circle in the periphery. Every fifth minute (corresponding to a 1/12 turn, or 30 °) is drawn more strongly and provided radially inward with an associated number of minutes 35.
  • the hour hand 3 rotates clockwise, while the minute dial 7 moves in the opposite direction of rotation, ie counterclockwise. In the case of the 24-hour clock shown, the hour hand 3 moves clockwise by 1/24 revolution per hour, ie by 15 °.
  • hourly and / or minute-interval divisions 39, 41 in the form of line markings or dot markings ( Fig. 13 ) present, which are also arranged uniformly spaced in the direction of rotation.
  • the hourly interval divisions 41 are arranged radially inward as bar marks with respect to the hour digits 33, while they are in Fig. 3 . 5 . 9 and 11 each clockwise trailing of the respective hour digits 33 are positioned.
  • the hourly and / or minute scalings (and / or optionally secondscaling) with the hour, minute or second digits 33, 35, 47 and the corresponding interval divisions 41, 39, 43 can be printed on the dials 5, 7, 15 or plastically formed (for example, as a separate construction elements attached or engraved in the material of the respective dial).
  • FIGS. 1 to 14 An inventive single-hand watch with a mechanical movement can be adjusted in a known manner:
  • One-hand watches shown each have a crown 51 to adjust the position of the minute dial 7 and the hour hand 3 in a known manner.
  • the crown 51 can be brought from a rest position to an adjustment position in which the minute dial 7 and thereby also the hour hand 3 can be rotated manually. In this way, the time can be set in relation to the hour and minute.
  • One revolution of the minute dial 7 corresponds to 1/11 or 1/13 revolution (12-hour clock) or 1/23 or 1/25 revolution (24-hour clock) of the hour hand 3.
  • the following may be considered the minute dial 7 with respect to the hour hand 3 to 0 (or 60) minutes (full hour), the hour hand must point 3 at the same time exactly to a number 33 or the associated hour interval mark41 on the hour dial 5.
  • the movement 1 When positioning the dial or the pointer, the movement 1 is usually shut down.
  • the wheel mechanism actuating mechanism which can be actuated in a known manner via the crown for setting the movement 1, will not be explained further here, since it is generally known to the person skilled in the art.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 a further embodiment of a single-hand watch is shown.
