【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電子時計に関し、電子時計の静電気対策構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の電子時計における静電気対策構造として、時計ムーブメントの表示押さえ部材により文字板への導通の確保と回路押さえ部材より裏蓋への導通の確保をしている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−289969号公報
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、時計ムーブメントのコストを抑える上で合成樹脂を基台とした時計ムーブメントが主流になるばかりか、部品点数も削減する事も大きなウエイトに成りつつある昨今、文字板側に静電気対策する理由のみに金属部材を取り付ける事は、出来得る限り避けたい現実がある。
【0005】
本発明の目的は、上述のような欠点を解消し、最小限の部品点数で文字板への静電気対策構造を提供する事である。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、金属の文字板を時計ムーブメントに固定する文字板固定構造において、前記文字板は下面に文字板足を有し、前記時計ムーブメントを構成する合成樹脂部材に前記文字板足よりも締め代を有した貫通穴を有した筒形状部が文字板足位置と同じ位置に配置され、前記文字板足が、前記筒形状部に挿入貫通する事で文字板が時計ムーブメントに固定され、前記筒形状部より貫通して飛び出した前記文字板足が時計ムーブメントを構成する板材と電気的に導通する第1の導通手段が設けられている事を特徴としている。
【0007】
また、前記文字板足と電気的に導通する板材は、時計ムーブメントを構成する巻真とも電気的に導通する第2の導通手段が設けられている事を特徴としている。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて詳述する。図1は本発明の実施の形態を示す時計ムーブメントの平面図、図2は本発明の実施の形態を示す時計ムーブメントの側面図である。1は金属の文字板であり、文字板固定構造として下面に文字板足1aが固着されている。前記文字板1は、合成樹脂部材で出来た電子時計ムーブメント4のムーブメント基台5にある前記文字板足1aより小さく締め代を持った貫通穴5aに文字板足1aが挿入される事で、電子時計ムーブメント4と固定されている。
【0009】
2は、電子時計ムーブメント4の構成部品である回路押さえ板で有り、ネジ固定によりしっかりとムーブメント基台5に固定されている。3は、電子時計ムーブメント4の時刻修正に用いる巻真である。回路押さえ板2には、文字板足1aに接触導通する為の第1の導通手段である文字板アースバネ部2aと、裏蓋に接触導通する為の文字板アースバネ部2bと、巻真3に接触導通する為の第2の導通手段である巻真アースバネ部2c(図4参照)とを一体で備えている。
【0010】
さらに、本発明の静電気対策構造について詳細に説明する。図3は、図1記載のA−A部の断面形状である。文字板足1aは、バネ力を持つ文字板アースバネ力2aにより接触導通し、電気的接続が保たれている。図示はしていないが、文字板1の多くは、外装ケースと導通されている。よって、外装ケースと文字板1と回路押さえ板2の導通経路は確保されて事になる。
【0011】
また、回路押さえ板2は、図3に示す如く、裏蓋アースバネ部2bにより外装部材の裏蓋との導通経路も確保されている。
【0012】
図4は、図1記載のB−B部の断面形状である。巻真3は、バネ力を持つ巻真アースバネ部2cにより接触導通し、電気的接続が保たれている。巻真3は、外装部材である外部操作部材と一体になっており電気導通も確保出来る。
【0013】
よって、文字板より入り込んだ静電気は、文字板アースバネ部2aを経由して回路押さえ板2に入り込み、再び、裏蓋アースバネ部2b経由して裏蓋へ、及び巻真アースバネ部2cを経由して巻真3へ放出される。同様に、裏蓋より入り込んだ静電気は、回路押さえ板2を経由して文字板1や巻真3へ、巻真3から入り込んだ静電気は、回路押さえ板2を経由して文字板1や裏蓋へ放出される。
【0014】
また、静電気が入り込む事で電子時計ムーブメント4に帯電されるが、回路押さえ板2の各アースバネ部により速やかに外部へ放出され電子時計ムーブメントへの悪影響を取り去る事が出来る。
【0015】
本発明の実施の形態においては、文字板アースバネ2aの近傍に裏蓋アースバネ2bを配しているが、裏蓋アースバネ2bは巻真アースバネ2cの近傍に配しても良い。また、同様に文字板アースバネ部2aを巻真アースバネ部2cの近傍に配しても良い。さらには文字板アースバネ2a、裏蓋アースバネ2b、巻真アースバネ2cをそれぞれ複数配する事で、更なる静電気対策構造の向上も行う事が出来る。
【0016】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、回路押さえ板一部品で、文字板と裏蓋への導通経路、裏蓋と外部操作部材への導通経路、外部操作部材と文字板への導通経路と複数の導通経路の実現が可能であり、一箇所から入り込んだ静電気を複数箇所で放電可能となり時計ム−ブメントに対する静電気対策構造の信頼性が向上する。また時計ムーブメントとして部品点数を最小限に抑えた静電気対策構造の提供が可能である。
