背景技術 Background art
従来の自動卷腕時計 (機械式自動巻方式、 及び自動巻発電方式)では、 図 2に示すように回転錘 2 3を裏ぶた 2 2側に配置していた。 In a conventional self-winding wristwatch (mechanical self-winding system and self-winding power generation system), the rotating weight 23 is arranged on the back cover 22 as shown in FIG.
し力 し、 図 2に示す構造では地板 2 1ゃ受 2 4 、 2 5等と回転錘 2 3 の回転重錘 2 3 aが時計体の外周部において必然的に重なり合うため、 裏ぶた周辺部をスマートな形とする事が困難であった。 However, in the structure shown in Fig. 2, the ground plate 2 1 ゃ 2 4 It was difficult to make it smart.
また、 回転錘 2 3の動きを見て楽しむためには、 図 2に示すようにガ ラス付裏ぶた 2 2側にガラス部 2 2 aを設ける必要があった。 この場合、 回転綞 2 3の動きを見るためには、 腕から腕時計をその都度、 着脱して 見なければならないという面倒さもあった。 Further, in order to enjoy watching the movement of the rotating weight 23, it was necessary to provide a glass part 22a on the side of the back lid 22 with a glass as shown in FIG. In this case, in order to watch the movement of the rotation 綞 23, it was troublesome that the wristwatch had to be attached and detached each time from the arm.
加えて、 携帯を繰り返すうちに裏ぶた側のガラス部 2 2 aが手垢等で 汚れて回転錘 2 3の動きが見え難くなるという欠点もあった。 また、 巿 販されている機械式自動卷腕時計、 自動巻発電式のアナログクォーツ腕 時計において、 裏ぶたにガラス部分を設けないと、 回転錘を有しない腕 時計と回転錘を有する機械式自動巻時計や自動卷発電式時計とを外観か ら判別することが容易ではなかった。 In addition, there was a drawback in that the movement of the rotating weight 23 became difficult to see due to the stains on the glass part 22 a on the back lid side by repeated hand-holding. In addition, に お い て In mechanical self-winding wristwatches and self-winding power generation analog quartz wristwatches, unless a glass part is provided on the back cover, a wristwatch without a rotating weight and a mechanical self-winding timepiece with a rotating weight It was not easy to discriminate between self-winding watches and self-winding watches.

第五の実施例を図 8に示す。 FIG. 8 shows a fifth embodiment.
第五の実施例は回転重錘 3 cの下部 3 c 4を回転錘としての慣性モー メン トを得るためにタングテン系焼結合金等の比重の高い材料で、 上部 3 c 5を鉛入り真鍮等の表面仕上げ又はマーキングに適した快削性の良
い材料等で構成するものである。 従って、 ガラス側から見える回転重錘 3 cの上部 3 c 5の上段表面部 3 c 7、 中段表面部 3 c 8、 下段表面部 3 c 9、 及び上段内周側面部 3 c 1、 中段内周側面部 3 c 2、 下段内周 側面部 3 c 1 0等は鏡面仕上げのダイヤカツ トを、 更にブランド名、 コ —ド番号、 記念行事等の所要のマ一キングを刻印等で仕上げることが出 来ることになる。 In the fifth embodiment, the lower part 3c4 of the rotating weight 3c is made of a material having a high specific gravity such as a tongue-tung sintered alloy in order to obtain an inertia moment as a rotating weight, and the upper part 3c5 is made of lead-containing brass. Good free cutting properties suitable for surface finishing or marking It is made of a material or the like. Therefore, the upper surface 3c7, the middle surface 3c8, the lower surface 3c9, and the upper inner peripheral side surface 3c1 of the upper portion 3c5 of the rotating weight 3c seen from the glass side, Peripheral side 3c2, lower inner peripheral side 3c10, etc. can be finished with mirror-finished diamond cuts, and also engraved with the required markings such as brand names, code numbers, and commemorative events. Will come out.
尚、 第一乃至第四の実施例において、 ガラス側から見える回転重錘 3 cの一部（図示せず）もしくは全体を高比重且つ高価な金で構成し、 鏡面 仕上げのダイヤカツ ト、 時計の受等に使用されているスジメ模様等を、 更には、 所要の記号、 数字等のマーキングを刻印することにより高級な 仕上げが可能となる。 In the first to fourth embodiments, a part (not shown) or the whole of the rotating weight 3c viewed from the glass side is made of high specific gravity and expensive gold, and is used for a mirror-finished diamond cut and a watch. High-quality finishing is possible by engraving the streaking pattern used for receiving and other necessary markings, such as symbols and numerals.
更に、 第一乃至第五の実施例において回転重錘 3 cの断面形状が段状 と斜面との併用構成であっても、 表示針の回転軌跡を妨げない限り、 本 発明の目的は達成出来る。 産業上の利用可能性 Further, in the first to fifth embodiments, even if the cross-sectional shape of the rotary weight 3c is a combination of a stepped shape and a slope, the object of the present invention can be achieved as long as the rotation locus of the display hand is not obstructed. . Industrial applicability
本発明は従来の腕時計で裏ぶた側外周部に配置していた回転錘を削除 出来る構成であり、 時計体をスマートにデザインでき、 従って携帯性の 良い時計の提供という第一の効果がある。 本発明により裏ぶた外周部が 薄く出来ることは時計全体を凸レンズ状のスマートなデザィンを可能と する効果がある。 また、 従来の実施例のように裏ぶた側に配したガラス 部材等も必要でなく、 厚みを薄く出来ることはむろんのこと、 費用削減 という第二の効果もある。 The present invention has a configuration in which the rotating weight placed on the outer periphery of the back cover in a conventional wristwatch can be eliminated, and the clock body can be smartly designed, and thus has the first effect of providing a watch with good portability. The fact that the outer periphery of the back cover can be made thinner according to the present invention has the effect of enabling a smart design of the entire timepiece with a convex lens shape. In addition, there is no need for a glass member or the like disposed on the back cover side as in the conventional embodiment, so that it is possible to reduce the thickness, and there is also a second effect of cost reduction.
更に、 通常携帯状態において、 携帯者が常に回転錘が回っている様子 を楽しむことが出来るという第三の効果を提供するものである。 また、 近年、 腕時計においてはデザイン重視の傾向が益々高まっている。 この
ような状況下において回転錘の動きを視覚に訴えるという新しいデザィ ン素材を提供することにより、 新たな需要を喚起せしめる第四の効果も 見逃せない。 加えて、 従来、 文字板等に社名、 ブランド名等を表示して いるが、 回転錘に社名、 ブランド名、 コード番号、 記念行事等のマーキ ングを刻印、 印刷等により表示することにより、 前記表示部分が回転綞 と共に動く ことから、 より説得性のある商品の演出が可能となる第五の 効果がある。 Further, the present invention provides a third effect that the wearer can always enjoy the appearance of the rotating weight rotating in the normal carrying state. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend in wristwatches to emphasize design. this Under such circumstances, by providing a new design material that visually appeals to the movement of the rotating spindle, the fourth effect that stimulates new demand cannot be overlooked. In addition, the company name, brand name, etc. are conventionally displayed on the dial, etc., but the marking of the company name, brand name, code number, commemorative event, etc. is engraved, printed, etc. on the rotating spindle. Since the display portion moves with the rotation, there is a fifth effect that a more persuasive product can be produced.
更には回転重錘を金等の高価な材質にすることにより、 高価な時計の 演出も可能である。 更には、 回転重錘、 回転錘体の表面をダイヤカッ ト 仕上げや、 その他模様付け仕上げを施すことにより、 より高級感を提供 する第六の効果もある。 Furthermore, by making the rotating weight of an expensive material such as gold, it is possible to produce an expensive watch. Furthermore, there is also a sixth effect of providing a more luxurious feeling by applying a diamond finishing or other pattern finishing to the surface of the rotating weight and the rotating weight body.
更に追加記述するならば、 従来のクォーツ時計においては電池交換の 必要性があり、 この電池交換不要を目的とした自動巻発電式腕時計も市 販されているが、 外見では回転錘を有しない時計とは識別出来兼ねると いう課題があった。 To further explain, there is a need to replace batteries in conventional quartz watches, and self-winding wristwatches that do not require battery replacement are also on the market, but in appearance they do not have a rotating weight. There was a problem that it could not be identified.
本発明によれば、 前期課題が解決出来るので、 地球規模でのクリーン エネルギー活動への参加商品であることが一目で分かるという第七の効 果も見逃せないところである。 According to the present invention, since the problem in the previous period can be solved, the seventh effect that it can be seen at a glance that it is a product participating in clean energy activities on a global scale cannot be overlooked.
この発明の効果は、 回転錘の動きで発電し、 キャパシターもしくは二 次電池にエネルギーを蓄えるクォーツにおいて説明したが、 ゼンマイを 巻きあげる機械式の自動巻腕時計においてもその効果は変わらない。 尚、 これらの効果は第二乃至第五の実施例で示した構成であっても同 様である。 The effect of the present invention has been described in the case of quartz which generates power by the movement of a rotating weight and stores energy in a capacitor or a secondary battery. However, the effect is not changed in a mechanical self-winding wristwatch which winds a mainspring. These effects are the same even in the configurations shown in the second to fifth embodiments.
また、 第一乃至第五の実施形態においては、 秒針、 分針、 時針を例に とって説明したが、 その他の目的の表示針であってもその効果は変わら ない。
η Further, in the first to fifth embodiments, the second hand, the minute hand, and the hour hand have been described as examples. η
また、 回転重錘 3 cの断面形状は段状と斜面との併用構成であっても よく、 第一乃至第五の実施例の混成であってもその効果は変わらない。 また、 第一乃至第五の実施例において回転錘体にローターカナと係合す る歯車部を設けているが、 回転錘体とは別に、 ボールベアリ ング外周に 歯部（図示せず）を設け、発電口一ターへの増速輪列（図示せず）に係合して も上記の効果は同じである。
Also, the cross-sectional shape of the rotary weight 3c may be a combination of steps and slopes, and the effect is not changed even if the first to fifth embodiments are mixed. In the first to fifth embodiments, the rotating weight body is provided with a gear portion that engages with the rotor pinion. However, separately from the rotating weight body, a tooth portion (not shown) is provided on the outer periphery of the ball bearing. The same effect can be obtained by engaging a speed increasing gear train (not shown) to the generator port.
