Visual Indication TRIZ Cases
- Timepiece Decorative Plate with Inclined Light-Redirecting Surfaces
Inclined surfaces and through holes direct light to a concealed solar cell, improving timepiece power generation while preserving a luxurious appearance.
- Sympathetic Timepiece Assembly for Periodic Winding Control
Periodic clock-controlled winding reduces barrel wear while preserving power for a sympathetic watch assembly.
- Mechanical Movement With Coaxial Planar Indicators for Ultra-Thin Timepieces
A cavity-mounted, coaxial indicator layout avoids stacked display parts to fit traditional hand displays into ultra-thin mechanical timepieces.
- Multi-Hand Watch Lock Pulses for Tactile Position Stability
Cover-opening or capacitance detection triggers lock pulses only during tactile reading, limiting hand deviation and power use.
- Timepiece
A support plate cut-out reveals an internal timepiece component while the sub-dial ring keeps its indicators easy to confirm.
- Lunar And Solar Eclipse Display Mechanism for Clear Type Distinction
Multiple moving indicators distinguish lunar and solar eclipses in mechanical or electromechanical horological movements for easier reading.
- Solar Timepiece Dual-Display Control to Reduce Hand Shadowing
A processor moves the timekeeping hand to an evacuation position while a second display preserves time visibility and improves solar charging.
- Clock Movement With Pivoting Date Correction Rocker for Midnight Protection
A pivoting date-correction rocker disengages during midnight changes, helping prevent date-drive arm breakage and unwanted date movement.
- Detachable Racing Tachymeter Scales for Clear Speed Reading
Detachable scale parts match racing distances to reduce watch-face clutter and improve average-speed readability across speed ranges.
- Satellite Leap-Year Cam for Compact Perpetual Calendar Movements
A satellite toothed member on the month cam manages leap-year timing while reducing calendar thickness and assembly indexing.
- Two-Stage Milling of Phosphorescent Zirconia Ceramics for Timepieces
Two-stage milling breaks down yttria-doped zirconia before phosphor mixing, limiting degradation and preserving glow in timepiece ceramics.
- Clockwork Eclipse Display with Movable Indicators for Type Differentiation
Multiple movable indicators distinguish lunar, solar, total, partial, and annular eclipses while improving readability in a clockwork display.
- Differential Gear Mechanism for Concentric Civil and True Time Hands
Bulky extra gear trains are replaced by one differential unit that keeps civil and true time minute hands concentric.
- Timepiece Manual Corrector Locking Lever for Wheel Protection
A rotating locking lever blocks the second timepiece corrector, preventing simultaneous wheel engagement and correction-wheel tooth damage.
- Electronic Timepiece Hand Position Detection Using Transient Current
A transient detector current strengthens hand-position signals before steady state, improving accuracy while reducing timepiece power use.
- High-Fidelity Lunar Phase Mechanism with FIFOP Optical Imaging
A rotating lunar model and FIFOP project an angle-independent phase image, preserving lunar appearance while simplifying the optical display.
