Embodiment Construction

[0017] attached figure 1 is a plan view of a dial of a timepiece equipped with a jumping hour mechanism according to a first embodiment of the invention. It is recalled that timepieces of this type include a digital display instead of the usual hour hand. As can be seen from the figures, in the embodiment shown, openings (reference numbers 7A to 7G and 9B and 9C) are provided in the display area 5 of the circular timepiece dial 3 . It can also be seen that the openings arranged in the display area are composed of straight line segments, the number of which is nine, which together form the sign of the number "18". In fact, the number "18" corresponds to overlapping outlines of all numbers from "1" to "12," as they appear in this example.

[0018] Refer again to the attached figure 1 , it can be seen that the seven segments labeled 7A to 7G together form an "8" and the last two segments labeled 9B and 9C form a "1". It will be appreciated that the display structure described...

Abstract

A character display mechanism for a clock, comprising a first indicating part (accompanying figure 2A) arranged under a cover (accompanying figure 2C) and arranged to rotate stepwise around an axis, said first indicating part being carried on a circular A series of interlaced graphics distributed on a shaped track, the cover includes a display area (5) with a plurality of first openings (7A-7G, 9B, 9C), and the graphics are used in the first indication part The first openings appear sequentially during rotation, and the first openings are arranged such that only one graphic appears within the display area at a time. Said first indicating members are pierced to form second openings (11a, 11b, 11c, 13a, 13b) arranged to stop directly under one of the first openings during step rotation of the first indicating member. The display mechanism comprises a second indicating member at least partially superimposed on the first indicating member in the display area (FIG. 2B). The pattern carried by the second indicating member comprises a plurality of segments.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a character display mechanism for a timepiece comprising an indicating member arranged under a mask and arranged to rotate in steps about an axis perpendicular to the mask, the indicating member being carried on A series of interlaced graphics distributed on a circular track, the cover includes a display area with multiple openings. During rotation of the indicating member, said figures will successively appear in the openings of the cover, and these openings are arranged to reveal only one figure at a time in the display area. Background technique [0002] Most known timepiece character display mechanisms comprise a combination of a window, i.e. an opening of a size corresponding to those indicia to be displayed, made in the timepiece dial, and a dial carrying a series of indicia to be displayed, These markings are marked one after the other on a circular track that passes under the window as the indicating part rotat...
