Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a full-body clock, and particularly to a full-body clock with a novel rocking support structure for the timepiece body itself.

[Prior Art] In recent years, full-body swing clocks in which the clock body itself swings about a pendulum fulcrum have been widely put into practical use as decorations.

In this type of full-body swing clock, the clock body is supported so as to be able to swing freely about the pendulum fulcrum of the base, and in normal cases, a statue of a goddess, etc. that serves as the clock base lifts the base, and the V-groove of the base It consists of a structure in which the knife edge of the watch body is supported. The rocking motion of the watch body can be maintained by the electromagnetic driving force between the drive coil or magnet provided on the watch body and the magnet or drive coil of the fixed receiving plate provided on the base. can.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, in the conventional lift-type full-body swing clock, the goddess statue that serves as the clock base is heavy and strong, so the rocking of the clock body At times, the abutment and fixed receiving plate do not swing.

Furthermore, a hanging type full-body swing clock in which the support base and fixed receiving plate are suspended from a wall by a hanging member and the clock body is oscillated has not been considered in the past.
This is because when the hanging member is formed from a flexible material,
This was because the watch body weighed much more than the hanging member, so when it was rocked, the watch body did not swing, and only the hanging member, support base, and fixed receiving plate swung. Conventionally, it has been impossible to realize a hanging type full swing clock.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its object is to provide a suspended overall swing in which only the clock body and pendulum swing without the hanging member and fixed receiving plate swinging. Our goal is to provide watches.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a timepiece body that is swingably supported with respect to a pendulum fulcrum, and a timepiece body that is fixed to the timepiece body and swings integrally with the timepiece body. The clock body and the pendulum include a pendulum and a fixed receiving plate provided with a magnet or drive coil that is electromagnetically coupled with a drive coil or magnet provided on the watch body to generate a rocking driving force in the watch body, and the watch body and the pendulum are arranged as pendulums. In a full-body swing clock that swings about a fulcrum, there is a hanging member whose one end is hooked to the latch and the other end is fixed to the fixed receiving plate, and the total weight of the clock body and pendulum provided on the fixed receiving plate. a support base serving as a pendulum fulcrum supporting the clock body, and a fulcrum part provided on the back side of the timepiece body and protruding on an extension line of the pendulum fulcrum of the timepiece body, on which the fixed receiving plate and the hanging member swing. It is characterized in that the watch body and pendulum swing relative to the pendulum fulcrum without any movement.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a hanging type general swing clock according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a cross section thereof.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a timepiece body 10 that is swingably supported with respect to a pendulum fulcrum has a timepiece mechanism section 12 and a dial side lower plate 14 inside.
0 indicates a predetermined time on the dial 16, and a pendulum 18 that swings together with the clock body 10 is suspended and fixed to the lower part of the clock body 10.

The watch body 10 is swingably supported on a base 20, and a knife edge 10a of the watch body 10 is supported in a V-groove 20a of the base 20.
Further, a fixed receiving plate 22 is protruded from the upper part of the support 20, and a magnet 24 is fixed to the fixed receiving plate 22.
A drive coil 26 is fixed to the timepiece mechanism section 12 of the timepiece body 10 and is electromagnetically coupled to the magnet 24 to generate a rocking driving force in the timepiece body 10 . Therefore, the electromagnetic driving force between the magnet 24 and the drive coil 26 allows the watch body 10 to maintain its rocking motion relative to the support base 20.

Characteristic features of the present invention include a hanging member having one end hooked to the hook and the other end fixed to the fixed receiving plate, and a pendulum provided on the fixed receiving plate and supporting the entire weight of the clock body and pendulum. A support as a fulcrum,
In the embodiment, the chain 28 as a hanging member has one end hooked to a nail 32 fixed to the wall 30, and the other end fixed to the upper end of the fixed receiving plate 22. The clock body 10 and the pendulum 18 are mounted on a support base 20 provided at the lower end of the receiving plate 22.
Multiplying the total weight of Therefore, since the entire weight of the watch body 10 and pendulum 18 is applied to the support base 20, the chain 28, fixed floating plate 22, and support base 20 can be stabilized or fixed during rocking.

Furthermore, a characteristic feature of the present invention is that a fulcrum part 36 is provided on the back surface of the watch body 10 and projects on an extension line of the pendulum fulcrum (the tip of the knife edge 10a) of the watch body 10, and the tip of the fulcrum part 36 is provided. 36
a is brought into contact with the wall 30. Therefore, when the watch body 10 and the pendulum 18 swing,
The chain 28, fixed receiving plate 22, and support base 20 can be reliably fixed and stabilized during rocking, and the rocking of the watch body 10 and pendulum 18 can be made good.

As described above, according to the embodiment, only the watch body 10 and the pendulum 18 can be swung without the chain 28, the fixed receiving plate 22, and the support 20 swinging.

Furthermore, in the embodiment, the fixed receiving plate 22 and the magnet 24 fixed thereto are connected to the clock mechanism section 12.
Since the fixed receiving plate 22 and the magnet 24 are stored in the space 34 between the watch body 10 and the dial side lower plate 14,
Watch body 1 with almost no exposure to the outside.
0 and the pendulum 18 can be swung. Also,
Setting of the time hands, etc., which is operated from the back surface of the timepiece mechanism section 12 (that is, the back surface of the timepiece body 10), can be performed without being hindered by the fixed receiving plate 22.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, there is a hanging member whose one end is hooked to the hook portion and whose other end is fixed to the fixed receiving plate, and a watch body provided on the fixed receiving plate. and a support base as a pendulum fulcrum that supports the entire weight of the pendulum, and the watch body and the pendulum can swing relative to the pendulum fulcrum without the fixed receiving plate and the hanging member swinging. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a hanging type total swing clock in which only the clock body and the pendulum swing.

Furthermore, in the present invention, when transporting the watch body,
Since the rocking fulcrum of the clock body is arranged so as to be able to engage with the support base, the user can simply hang the hanging member on a nail on the wall, etc., and the clock body and pendulum can perform a good rocking motion. I can do it.

Furthermore, in conventional full-body swing clocks, the swinging motion of the watch body was not performed properly unless the support base was adjusted to a horizontal position, but in the present invention, the support base is suspended by a hanging member. Because it is lowered,
Since the support base is not arranged tilted and is always located in a horizontal position, the swinging motion of the clock body and pendulum is always good.
