Abstract
An electronic timepiece includes a radio wave receiving antenna (8) for receiving radio waves, electromagnetic motors (61, 65) for driving a time display part, a battery (5), and a body case for receiving the antenna (8), electromagnetic motors (61, 65), and the battery (5). The projection images projecting the antenna (8), electromagnetic motors (61, 65), and the battery (5) do not overlap as viewed in the viewing direction of a time display part are different each other, that is, they do not overlap two-dimensionally. By such a structure, the electronic timepiece can be thin and flat.
Claims19
An electronic timepiece comprising:
- a radio wave receiving antenna for receiving radio waves;
- at least one electromagnetic motor for driving a time display part;
- at least one power source;
- and
- a base frame having the electromagnetic wave receiving antenna, the electromagnetic motor, and the power source installed thereon,
- wherein projection images of the antenna, the electromagnetic motor, and the power source are separated from one another in the viewing direction of the time display part.
An electronic timepiece comprising:
- a power-generation mechanism having a generator;
- a time-measuring mechanism for measuring time;
- a receiving mechanism having an antenna for receiving wireless information;
- and
- magnetic field shielding means provided between the antenna and a generating coil of the generator, for shielding the antenna from the magnetic field generated by the generating coil.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a power-generation mechanism having a generator, and a receiving mechanism having an antenna for receiving wireless information,
- wherein magnetic field shielding means is installed between the antenna and a generating coil of the generator, for shielding the antenna from the magnetic field generated by the generating coil.
