Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a novel round-bottomed clock hand includes:
[0025] Pointer 2 is used to indicate the time on the clock.
[0026] Disc 1 is used to be mounted on a clock so that pointer 2 can indicate the time on the clock.
[0027] The mounting mechanism is used to mount the disc 1 and the pointer indicator 2 on the clock. The mounting mechanism is located on the disc 1 and includes a circular hole 3 and a magnetic sleeve 302. The inner wall of the circular hole 3 is provided with a magnetic strip 301.
[0028] The present invention is further described in detail. The material of the disc 1 includes metal, mother-of-pearl, carbon fiber, enamel, gemstone, epoxy resin and polymethyl methacrylate. The outer side wall of the magnetic sleeve 302 and the inner side wall of the circular hole 3 are slidably fitted. The magnetic sleeve 302 and the magnetic strip 301 are arranged to attract each other with opposite poles. The pointer mark 2 is hollowed out and the outer wall of the pointer mark 2 is provided with a fluorescent coating.
[0029] As can be seen from the above, the mounting mechanism is the key part of the convenient installation of the hands of the new round-bottom clock. It is located on the disc 1 and includes a round hole 3 and a magnetic sleeve 302. A magnetic strip 301 is provided on the inner wall of the round hole 3.
[0030] During installation, the magnetic sleeve 302 is inserted into the round hole 3. Since the outer wall of the magnetic sleeve 302 and the inner wall of the round hole 3 are slidably fitted, this tight fit design ensures that the magnetic sleeve 302 can slide smoothly and steadily in the round hole 3, avoiding shaking and displacement during installation and ensuring the accuracy of installation.
[0031] When the magnetic sleeve 302 is inserted into the appropriate position, the magnetic sleeve 302 and the magnetic strip 301, which are opposite poles, attract each other, generating a strong magnetic force that firmly attaches the magnetic sleeve 302 into the round hole 3. This achieves stable installation of the disc 1 and the pointer indicator 2 (usually the pointer indicator 2 is connected to the magnetic sleeve 302 or indirectly connected to the disc 1 through the magnetic sleeve 302) on the watch. This magnetic installation method does not require complicated tools or cumbersome operating steps, greatly simplifying the installation process, improving installation efficiency, and also facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance.
[0032] The main function of pointer 2 is to indicate the time on the clock. Its skeleton design not only reduces the weight of the pointer and the burden on the clock movement, making the pointer rotate more lightly and smoothly, reducing energy loss and extending the service life of the movement, but also gives the pointer a unique aesthetic appearance, increasing the artistry and aesthetics of the clock.
[0033] In addition, the outer wall of the pointer 2 is provided with a fluorescent coating. In the daytime or in a well-lit environment, the fluorescent coating can absorb the light in the surrounding environment and store energy. When it is at night or in a dimly lit environment, the fluorescent coating will release the stored energy in the form of light, so that the pointer 2 emits a faint light. In this way, users can clearly see the time indicated by the pointer in the dark without the need for additional lighting equipment, which greatly facilitates users to check the time at night and improves the practicality of the clock and the user experience.
[0034] The disc 1 serves as the support and mounting base for the entire clock hands. Its main function is to be mounted on the clock, providing a stable mounting platform for the pointer 2 and ensuring that the pointer 2 can accurately indicate the time. The disc 1 is made of various materials, including metal, mother-of-pearl, carbon fiber, enamel, gemstones, and epoxy resin. Different materials give the disc 1 different textures and appearances, satisfying the aesthetic needs of different users. For example, the metal disc 1 is sturdy and durable, and its metallic luster enhances the overall texture of the clock; the mother-of-pearl disc 1 presents unique textures and colors, showcasing an elegant and luxurious temperament; the carbon fiber disc 1 is lightweight and strong, with a modern technological feel; the enamel disc 1 has bright colors and high luster, possessing high artistic value; the gemstone disc 1 is even more precious and rare, enhancing the clock's grade and collectible value; and the epoxy resin disc 1 has good plasticity and decorative properties, allowing for the creation of various unique shapes and patterns.
[0035] The installation process of traditional clock hands is often complex, requiring precise operation with specialized tools. This is not only time-consuming but also demands high skill levels from the installers. However, the novel round-bottom clock hand of this invention features a cleverly designed installation mechanism located on a disc 1. It includes a circular hole 3 and a magnetic sleeve 302. A magnetic strip 301 is provided on the inner wall of the circular hole 3. During installation, simply insert the magnetic sleeve 302 into the circular hole 3. Because the outer wall of the magnetic sleeve 302 slides smoothly against the inner wall of the circular hole 3, the insertion process is guaranteed to be stable and smooth. This method ensures smooth installation and avoids shaking and misalignment during installation. When the magnetic sleeve 302 is inserted into the appropriate position, the magnetic sleeve 302 and the magnetic strip 301 attract each other with opposite poles, generating a strong magnetic force that firmly attaches the magnetic sleeve 302 to the round hole 3. This allows for quick and stable installation of the disc 1 and the pointer indicator 2 on the watch. This magnetic installation method eliminates the need for complicated tools and cumbersome steps, greatly simplifying the installation process, reducing installation difficulty, and improving installation efficiency. Both professional repair personnel and ordinary users can easily complete the installation.
[0036] It should be noted that the disc 1 can be installed not only by means of the magnetic sleeve 302, but also by means of metal copper sleeve by adhesive bonding or mold stamping.
[0037] As a crucial part of the clock's hands, the choice of material for the disc 1 significantly impacts the clock's appearance and texture. In this invention, the disc 1 can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, mother-of-pearl, carbon fiber, enamel, gemstones, and epoxy resin. Different materials give the disc 1 a unique appearance and texture, satisfying the aesthetic needs of different users. A metal disc 1 is sturdy and durable, and its metallic luster enhances the overall texture of the clock, showcasing a simple yet sophisticated style. A mother-of-pearl disc 1 presents unique textures and colors, exuding elegance and luxury, adding an artistic touch to the clock. A carbon fiber disc 1 is lightweight yet strong, possessing a modern technological feel, suitable for users who pursue fashion and technology. Enamel... The enamel disc 1 is brightly colored and highly lustrous, possessing significant artistic value and serving as a highly decorative clock component. The gemstone disc 1 is rare and precious, greatly enhancing the clock's grade and collectible value, becoming a symbol of high-end clocks. The epoxy resin disc 1 has excellent plasticity and decorative properties, enabling the creation of various unique shapes and patterns to satisfy users' pursuit of personalization. Furthermore, the openwork design of the hands and markers 2 not only reduces the weight of the hands and the burden on the clock movement, making the hands rotate more smoothly and lightly, reducing energy loss and extending the lifespan of the movement, but also gives the hands a unique aesthetic appeal, increasing the clock's artistry and visual appeal.
[0038] In the dark or at night, the hands of a traditional clock are often difficult to see, making it inconvenient for users to read the time. The pointer marker 2 in this invention has a fluorescent coating on its outer wall. In the daytime or in a well-lit environment, the fluorescent coating can absorb light from the surrounding environment and store energy. When in the dark or at night, the fluorescent coating will release the stored energy in the form of light, causing the pointer marker 2 to emit a faint light. In this way, users can clearly see the time indicated by the pointer in the dark without the need for additional lighting equipment, which greatly facilitates users to check the time at night and improves the practicality and user experience of the clock.
[0039] The outer wall of the magnetic sleeve 302 and the inner wall of the circular hole 3 are slidably fitted together. This tight fit design ensures that the magnetic sleeve 302 can slide smoothly and steadily in the circular hole 3, avoiding shaking and offset during installation and ensuring installation accuracy. At the same time, the magnetic sleeve 302 and the magnetic strip 301 are set with opposite poles attracting each other, which generates a strong and stable magnetic attraction between them, firmly adsorbing the magnetic sleeve 302 into the circular hole 3. This ensures the stable installation of the disc 1 and the pointer 2 on the clock. This stable installation method can effectively prevent the pointer from loosening or falling off during use, ensuring that the clock hands can accurately and reliably indicate the time, and improving the overall performance and reliability of the clock.
[0040] In summary, this utility model provides a novel round-bottomed clock hand that enables convenient installation, accurate time indication, and a unique appearance and functional display, offering users a superior and personalized clock experience.
