Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a calendar clock, and includes:
It displays the day of the week as well as the time.
Moreover, the day of the week can be sent manually.

Conventionally, such a calendar clock has not existed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to display both the time and the day of the week, to provide a simple structure at low cost, and to make it enjoyable to look at.

The features of the present invention include a hollow annular frame, a weight movably stored in the hollow of the frame, seven latches provided on the front surface of the frame, and latches. It is equipped with a day of the week display displayed near the stopper, and a watch body that is detachably suspended from the above-mentioned stopper, and in addition to the above features,
The frame body is provided with a support part, and a support member is provided to rotatably support the frame body on the support part. With this structure, by simply suspending the watch body at the desired day of the week position and positioning the watch body vertically, the weight inside the hollow frame moves to a stable position, allowing it to be used as a table clock or wall clock. calendar clock can be used stably.

Examples of the present invention will be described. The first and second illustrations are table clock type calendar clocks, in which a hollow annular frame 1 has a heptagonal annular shape, and a hollow 1a
A movable weight 2 is stored inside. weight 2
A material such as free-flowing sand or small spherical particles is used, and is always easily moved to the bottom of the hollow 1a of the frame 1. Hooks 3a, 3b, . . . , 3g are fixed to each heptagonal corner of the frame 1. SUN and MON are attached to the front of the latches 3a, 3b...3g.
...SAT seven days of the week display 4a, 4b...4g
is displayed. A latching ring 6 is connected to the upper part of the watch body 5, and the latching tool 3a is connected by this ring.
It can be hung by hanging it on any one of ~3g. So, for example, on Sunday, frame 1
Lift the ring 6 of the watch body 5 to display the day of the week 4a.
When the watch body 5 is hung on the latch 3a at the SUN position and placed on a horizontal surface A such as a desk top so that the watch body 5 is suspended in a vertical position, the weight 2 moves within the hollow 1a and reaches the bottom of the hollow 1a. It is stable and lies horizontally along the horizontal plane A. This lowers the center of gravity of the entire calendar watch, allowing it to be used while standing upright.

Even in the embodiment with a circular annular frame, if a small plane is provided at a position opposite to the horizontal plane,
It becomes a calendar clock that stands stably.

The third and fourth illustrations are table clock type calendar clocks, in which a circular ring-shaped frame 11 is provided with a support portion 11a of the frame at the center of the ring. This support part 11a
is a support plate 11b provided integrally with the annular frame 11;
It is formed by drilling a through hole 11c in the hole 11c. The support stand 7, which has an inverted T-shaped side surface, can be stably placed on the horizontal surface A, and supports a support shaft 8 passing through the through hole 11c at the upper end of the rising portion 7a. The hollow 1a, the weight 2, and other parts common to those shown in the first and second figures are given the same reference numerals. According to this example,
Since the annular frame 11 is rotatable around the support shaft 8, there is no need to lift the frame 11, and the desired day of the week can be displayed by simply removing the ring 6 of the watch body 5 from one of the latches 3a to 3g. By simply hanging it on one of the latches 4a to 4g and rotating it so that the clock body 5 is vertical, the weight 2 moves smoothly to the bottom of the hollow 1a, and the center of gravity of the entire calendar clock is lowered. Stabilize.

The fifth illustration is a wall clock type calendar clock,
A head 9a of a support fitting 9, which is driven into a vertical surface B such as a wall, passes through the support portion 11a of the circular annular frame 11, which is provided at the annular center position of the frame 11. The frame body 11 is screwed onto the head 9a passing through the support portion 11a.
cannot fall off from the support fitting 9. The operation in this example is the same as in the examples shown in the third and fourth figures, and it can be stably used as a wall clock.

As described above, according to the present invention, it has a simple configuration, can be provided at low cost, displays the day of the week as well as the time, and has the advantage that it can be enjoyed as an interior decoration by looking at it and touching it.
