Abstract
A clock comprising, a case, a clockwork in the case having a plurality of pointers, a dial face in the case over which the pointers sweep about a common axis, a glass covering the dial and pointers, at least one illuminator for illuminating the dial and pointers and a ring having a face with spaced markings thereon which is mounted between the dial and glass and which can be manually rotated. The ring face is illuminated by the same illuminator which sheds light on the dial since the ring face faces the glass which receives light from the illuminator and illuminates both the dial and the ring face.
Claims18
A clock comprising, a case, a clockwork mounted in said case having at least one rotatable pointer, a dial face in the case over which said at least one pointer sweeps about an axis, a glass connected to said case and covering said dial face and at least one pointer, at least one illuminator in the case for illuminating the dial face and at least one pointer, and a ring with a face carrying at least one marking rotatably mounted about the axis of said at least one pointer under said glass, said ring face facing said glass to be illuminated by said illuminator along with said dial face and at least one pointer, said ring face being conically inclined toward the axis and away from said glass.
A clock comprising, a case, a clockwork mounted in said case having at least one rotatable pointer, a dial face in the case over which said at least one pointer sweeps about an axis, a glass connected to said case and covering said dial face and at least one pointer, at least one illuminator in the case for illuminating the dial face and at least one pointer, and a ring with a face carrying at least one marking rotatably mounted about the axis of said at least one pointer under said glass, said ring face facing said glass to be illuminated by said illuminator along with said dial face and at least one pointer, said glass having a conical edge with said at least one illuminator arranged laterally of said conical edge of said glass, said conical edge inclined toward the axis and toward said dial face.
A clock comprising, a case, a clockwork mounted in said case having at least one rotatable pointer, a dial face in the case over which said at least one pointer sweeps about an axis, a glass connected to said case and covering said dial face and at least one pointer, at least one illuminator in the case for illuminating the dial face and at least one pointer, a ring with a face carrying at least one marking rotatably mounted about the axis of said at least one pointer under said glass, said ring face facing said glass to be illuminated by said illuminator along with said dial face and at least one pointer, a setting member rotatably mounted in said case connected by gear means with said ring for rotating said ring in said case, and sealing means for sealing a space containing said ring and at least part of said gear means.
