The present invention relates to a luminous electronic clock, which falls in the technical field of timepiece.
Following the constant development of social economy and the constant upgrading of living standards, people keep changing their concepts of consumption and pay more and more attention to their living quality and living environment. For example, consumers' current requirements for some traditional home appliances, such as wall clocks, not only include the practicality of the clocks, but also the aesthetic appearance and the ornamental value of the clocks. It is therefore important for the clock manufacturing industry to provide aesthetic, novel and ornamental clocks.
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a luminous electronic clock, so as to meet diversified technical requirements for the existing timepieces available in the market.
To achieve the above and other objects, the luminous electronic clock provided according to the present invention includes a case frame, a transparent plate, a dial, a cover plate, a movement, a set of LED lights, battery holders and a case back. The case frame is a multi-diameter forward tapered structure; the transparent plate is installed on the case frame in a front circumferential edge thereof; a sealing ring is provided between the transparent plate and the case frame; the dial is made of a translucent acrylic or PS material and has time markers provided along a radially outer peripheral area on a front side thereof; temperature numbers and humidity numbers are circumferentially arranged into two spaced circles, which are located near two lower lateral side of the dial; the dial is located behind the transparent plate and is spaced from the transparent plate by a certain distance via a spacer frame; a movement shaft hole is provided at a center of each of the dial, the circle of the temperature numbers and the circle of the humidity numbers; the movement include a clock movement, a thermometer movement and a hygrometer movement, and these movements are mounted on a back side of the case back at positions corresponding to the movement shaft holes, so that movement shafts of the clock movement, the thermometer movement and the hygrometer movement are separately extended through the corresponding movement shaft holes; hands of the clock and pointers of the thermometer and the hygrometer are mounted on sections of the movement shafts that are exposed from the front side of the cover plate and the dial; the LED lights are installed in the movement shaft hole and around the movement shaft of the clock movement; the cover plate is installed on the front side of the dial and covers the movement shaft hole; the battery holders are mounted to the back side of the case back; the case back is installed on the case frame in a rear circumferential edge thereof and is fixedly held thereto by a plurality of retaining springs; the case back is provided near an upper portion at a middle position with a hook; and the case back is also provided at positions corresponding to the movements with a window each.
With the present invention, a set of LED lights emit light through the dial, advantageously giving the conventional clock additional functions of lighting to satisfy consumers' diversified demands on the clock market.
The structure and the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the above and other objects can be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings, wherein
In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a case frame, 2 denotes a transparent plate, 3 denotes a dial, 31, 32, 33 denote movement shaft holes, 34 denotes a reflecting sheet, 4 denotes battery holders, 5 denotes a case back, 51, 52, 53 denote windows, 6 denotes time markers, 7 denotes temperature numbers, 8 denotes humidity numbers, 9 denotes a thermometer movement, 91 denotes a movement shaft, 10 denotes a hygrometer movement, 101 denotes a movement shaft, 11 denotes hands for the clock and pointers for the thermometer and the hygrometer, 12 denotes retaining springs, 13 denotes a hook, 14 denotes a clock movement, 141 denotes a movement shaft, 15 denotes a sealing ring, 16 denotes a spacer frame, 17 denotes an LED light, 171 denotes light, 18 denotes a cover plate, and 20 denotes a movement.
Please refer to
In practical use of the present invention, first install batteries in the battery holders 4 and turn on a battery switch for the LED lights 17. After calibrating the clock hands 11, connect the hook 13 to an external nail or hook that is desired for hanging the luminous electronic clock of the present invention in place. Light emitted by the LED lights 17 is through the dial 3 and is reflected by the colored translucent acrylic dial 3 to create a faint, half-illuminated colorful vision that gives the usually dull clock a complete novel appearance.
The present invention has been described with a preferred embodiment thereof and it is understood that the preferred embodiment is only illustrative and not intended to limit the present invention in any way and many changes and modifications in the described embodiment can be carried out without departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention that is intended to be limited only by the appended claims.
