Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clocks, in particular to clocks with different placement angles. Background Art

[0002] Patent document CN211698613U discloses a clock comprising a clock body and a support leg. The back of the clock body has a transverse slot, into which the first end of the support leg engages, while the second end rests on a tabletop, supporting the clock body at an inclined angle. A connecting portion extends from the middle of the support leg. To change the placement angle of the clock body, the first end of the support leg is first pulled out of the slot, then the leg is rotated vertically so that the connecting portion aligns with the slot, and the leg rests against the back of the clock body. During this process, the connecting portion engages the slot, and the first or second end of the support leg rests on the tabletop, supporting the clock body at a vertical placement angle. This clock allows for different placement angles, but has a disadvantage: because the transverse connecting portion is located in the middle of the support leg, when the leg is placed vertically against the back of the clock body, the upper end of the support leg blocks the portion of the back of the clock body above the slot, preventing components such as the battery compartment or buttons from being located there. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a clock with different placement angles, wherein the legs of the clock will not block the part of the back of the clock located above the card slot.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a clock with different placement angles, comprising a clock body and a curved support leg for supporting the clock body. A slot is provided on the back of the clock body. The support leg has two sections, and the angle between the two sections is an obtuse angle. The support leg can be selected from:

[0005] The first section is inserted into the slot, and the second section extends away from the back of the clock body and supports the clock body on the desktop, thereby supporting the clock body at the first placement angle; or

[0006] The second section is inserted into the card slot, and the first section extends in a direction away from the back of the clock body and is supported on the desktop, so as to support the clock body at a second placement angle different from the first placement angle.

[0007] Furthermore, the first section and the second section of the support leg are different in length.

[0008] Furthermore, the angle between the two sections of the support leg is 140° to 160°.

[0009] Furthermore, the length of the second section of the support leg is 2 to 4 times that of the first section.

[0010] Furthermore, the same section of the support leg can be optionally inserted into the slot in the forward direction or in the reverse direction, so as to support the clock body at different placement angles.

[0011] Furthermore, the clock body is provided with a battery compartment located above the card slot.

[0012] Furthermore, a hook slot is provided on the back of the clock body for hooking into a hook on the wall so as to hang the clock body; the clock body includes a pendulum, which can be inserted into the slot and thus installed on the clock body.

[0013] Since the angle between the two sections of the support leg is an obtuse angle, when in use, no matter whether the clock body is placed at the first placement angle or the second placement angle, one section of the support leg is inserted into the slot while the other section extends away from the back of the clock body and supports the desktop. In this state, the support leg will not block the part of the clock body located on the upper side of the slot, so components such as the battery compartment or buttons of the clock body can be set here.

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2The clock body 1 of the clock 100 is placed on a table. A protruding battery compartment 15 is provided on the back of the clock body 1. A slot 10 is also provided on the back of the clock body 1 below the battery compartment 15. The clock 100 includes a curved leg 2 that supports the clock body 1. The leg 2 has first and second sections 21 and 22. The second section 22 is 2 to 4 times longer than the first section 21. Preferably, the first section 21 is 2 cm long and the second section 22 is 6 cm long. The angle between the first and second sections 21 and 22 is 140° to 160°, preferably 150°. The first section 21 of the leg 2 engages positively with the slot 10, while the second section 22 extends away from the back of the clock body 1, specifically toward the lower rear side, and supports the table. In this position, the leg 2 supports the clock body 1 at a first placement angle. When the clock body 1 is placed on the table at the first placement angle, the angle R1 between the clock body 1 and the table is 87°. The clock body 1 can be placed at different angles. To change the placement angle of the clock body 1, first pull the first section 21 of the leg 2 out of the slot 10. Then, you can choose one of the following three methods:

[0022] (1) See Figure 3 , turn the support leg 2 over so that the second section 22 of the support leg is positively inserted into the card slot 10, and the first section 21 of the support leg 2 extends away from the back of the clock body 1, specifically toward the lower rear side, and supports it on the desktop. In this state, the support leg 2 supports the clock body 1 at the second placement angle, and the clock body 1 is placed on the desktop at the second placement angle. The angle R2 between the clock body 1 and the desktop is 74°.

[0023] (2) See Figure 4 , turn the support leg 2 over, let the first section 21 of the support leg 2 be reversely inserted into the card slot 10, and let the second section 22 of the support leg 2 extend in the direction away from the back of the clock body 1, specifically towards the lower rear side, and support it on the desktop. In this state, the support leg 2 supports the clock body 1 at the third placement angle, and the clock body 1 is placed on the desktop at the third placement angle, and the angle R3 between the clock body 1 and the desktop is 50°.

[0024] (3) See Figure 5 , turn the support leg 2 upside down and reverse it, so that the second section 22 of the support leg 2 is reversely inserted into the card slot 10, so that the front end of the first section 21 of the support leg 2 is supported on the desktop, and the rear end extends away from the back of the clock body, specifically toward the upper rear side. In this state, the support leg 2 supports the clock body 1 at the fourth placement angle, and the clock body 1 is placed on the desktop at the fourth placement angle. The angle R4 between the clock body 1 and the desktop is 63°.

[0025] See Figures 2 to 5Since the angle between the first section 21 and the second section 22 of the support leg 2 is an obtuse angle, no matter at which angle the clock body 1 is placed, one section of the support leg 2 is inserted into the card slot 10 while the other section extends away from the clock body 1 and is supported on the desktop, and will not block the battery compartment 15 of the clock body 1 located on the upper side of the card slot 10.

[0026] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A power bank placement position 18 is reserved on the upper side of the battery compartment 15. The clock body 1 is provided with a power interface 17. The top surface 151 of the battery compartment 15 is 15 to 20 cm long and 1 to 3 cm wide, serving as a supporting surface. If the user needs to use a power bank 7 to power the clock body 1, Figure 2 As shown, the power bank 7 is placed on the power bank placement position 18 and the top surface 151 of the battery compartment 15 is used to support the power bank 7. The power bank 7 does not take up desktop space. The power bank 7 is connected to the power interface 17 through a power cord (not shown in the figure) to supply power to the clock body 1.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 The clock body 1 has a hook slot 16 on the back. With the legs 2 removed, the clock body 1 can be hung on the wall using the hook slot 16. First, install the hook on the wall. Then, lift the clock body 1 so that the hook slot 16 on the back is close to the hook, and let the hook hook into the hook slot 16 to hang the clock body 1. The clock 100 includes a conventional pendulum 3. With the legs 2 removed, the pendulum 3 snaps into the slot 10 and is removably mounted on the clock body 1. After installation, the clock body 1 is hung on the wall, with the pendulum 3 exposed below the clock body 1.

[0028] See also Figure 6 In other embodiments, the hook slot 16 and the pendulum 3 can be eliminated, and the clock 100 can only be placed on a desktop and cannot be hung on a wall.

[0029] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Those skilled in the art can make non-substantial changes or substitutions based on the present invention and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
