Abstract

The watch (1) is able to be moved along a guide (2) and itself moves while being moved along the guide. In one version the guide can be an armband or bracelet. The diameter of the armband or bracelet can be varied. The guide can be provided with a cover and the movement of the watch can be programmed.

Description

Traditionally are watches for wearing on the body, e.g. connected to arms or chains stationary with the support member. The history of the clock has innumerable examples.

The The present invention relates to a watch for wearing on the body, characterized characterized in that the clock moves along a guide. As a result of that the clock itself with its housing even along a tour moved, it is local no longer stationary. This will give the watch wearer a new individual feeling of wearing mediated and mobilized the clock itself. In an advantageous way the clock moves while the movement in the leadership itself. As the watch moves itself in the lead, the effect becomes wearing and the individual feeling of wearing reinforced.

In an advantageous embodiment is the lead designed as a bracelet or hoop. The design of the leadership as Bracelet e.g. allowed as a hoop A carrying style like that of a classic wristwatch. In a special advanced embodiment the diameter of the bracelet or - is adjustable. Thereby can the leadership on the size of the body part be adjusted. Preferably, the guide has a cover, whereby the leadership against external influences e.g. protected against water or dust.

By doing in a further preferable improvement the movement of the clock can be programmed, an individual driving program deposited become. In a further improved embodiment, the direction of movement is the clock adjustable. The fact that the direction can be adjusted the course of the clock in the lead be varied individually. Preferably also the speed the movement will be programmed, adding another dimension of individual attitude is made possible. The programming the movement is advantageously carried out via a microprocessor. Thereby that the programming is microprocessor controlled, the different movement modes combined and individually deposited become. Advantageously, the clock and / or the guide over a Interface to PC e.g. above USB coupled, creating an external setting and programming can be done.

Preferably is the optics of the watch, for example due to lighting effects, variable, which means a further individualization and illumination for the wearer.

In a special embodiment the energy supply for the movement and / or for the change the optics of the clock from a mechanical energy storage. Thereby, that the energy is stored mechanically, deleted for the watch carrier Charging duty. In an alternative advantageous variant takes place the energy supply for the movement and / or the change the optics of the watch from an accumulator. By a battery the Providing power is a mechanical device dispensable. The energy storage can advantageously from be charged externally. Another embodiment allows the power supply through photovoltaic, eliminating the cycles of charging the energy store extended and the operational readiness are improved.

Preferably the movement drive can be electrically formed. As a result of that the movement drive of the watch itself as well as the clock in the lead electrically is, can be a very accurate positioning and driving off the driving program be set. In a further embodiment, the movement drive takes place mechanically, whereby a very robust construction can be realized. The drive can be integrated in the watch in an advantageous manner, whereby the overall structure of the leadership miniaturize and space is saved. In a specific embodiment, the drive in the lead integrated, which makes the size of the watch itself clear may be smaller.

An embodiment is in the I to III shown.

I schematically shows a along a guide ( 2 ) moving clock ( 1 ) a) without cover, b) with cover ( 4 ) for protection against external influences and c) with additional movement ( 5 ) the clock ( 1 ) itself, with a clock ( 1 ), a guided tour ( 2 ) and a possible direction of movement ( 3 ) along the guide ( 2 ).

II shows a possible execution of the leadership ( 2 ) - for example, without cover - with programming option on the clock ( 1 ), for example by pushbuttons ( 6 ), as well as an interface for external programming and energy supply ( 7 ), which exemplifies the clock ( 1 ) is attached.

III schematically shows an embodiment of the guide ( 2 ), whereby the leadership ( 2 ) as frost ( 9 ), which can be opened for attaching and detaching the clock, for adjusting the size of the frost and for external programming, and an interface for external programming and energy supply ( 8th ) on the guide.
