Abstract

A timepiece including an antenna, a holding member arranged with a predetermined space above the antenna, a pointer shaft arranged corresponding to an area above the antenna and rotatably held by the holding member, and a pointer mounted on the pointer shaft.

Claims (44)

1. A timepiece comprising:

an antenna;

a holding member arranged with a predetermined space above the antenna;

a pointer shaft arranged at a position which overlaps the antenna in a plan view and rotatably held by the holding member; and

a pointer mounted on the pointer shaft.

2. The timepiece according to claim 1 , wherein a mounting force at a time of mounting the pointer on the pointer shaft is set equal to or less than a maximum deforming force with which flexural deformation of the holding member is within a range of the predetermined space.

3. The timepiece according to claim 1 , wherein flexural deformation of the holding member is within a range of the predetermined space when the pointer is mounted on the pointer shaft.

4. The timepiece according to claim 2 , wherein the flexural deformation of the holding member is within the range of the predetermined space when the pointer is mounted on the pointer shaft.

5. The timepiece according to claim 1 , further comprising a buffer member arranged between the antenna and the holding member.

6. The timepiece according to claim 2 , further comprising a buffer member arranged between the antenna and the holding member.

7. The timepiece according to claim 3 , further comprising a buffer member arranged between the antenna and the holding member.

8. The timepiece according to claim 4 , further comprising a buffer member arranged between the antenna and the holding member.

9. The timepiece according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.

10. The timepiece according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.

11. The timepiece according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.

12. The timepiece according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.

13. The timepiece according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.

14. The timepiece according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.

15. The timepiece according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.

16. The timepiece according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a plurality of additional pointer shafts,

wherein the pointer shaft arranged at the position which overlaps the antenna in the plan view and rotatably held by the holding member is a pointer shaft of a sub-display section arranged above the antenna, and

wherein the pointer to be mounted on the pointer shaft of the sub-display section is a short pointer of the sub-display section.
