Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a clock.

Background Art

[0002] In conventional clocks, the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand were arranged on the same display surface.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] There were limitations in visibility and design expression.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] Separate and arrange each needle as an independent display part.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] It achieves both improved visibility and a spatial effect.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front configuration diagram of a clock having a separated display structure. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a side configuration diagram of a clock having a separated display structure.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] By constructing respective independent structures provided with an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand and arranging them at a predetermined interval, both improved visibility and a spatial effect are realized.

Examples

[0008] Hereinafter, an example will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is the hour hand of the clock, 2 is the minute hand of the clock, 3 is the second hand of the clock, and the base structure shall have a predetermined interval.

Claims
