PARODI, Federico (Via del Campo, 10/9, Genova, 16123, IT)
CLAIMS
1. a watch characterized by an antistatic external structure, fireproof, highly
resistant to mechanical stress and erosion, with high electrical and thermal
resistance properties
2. a watch as claimed in claim 1, characterized by specific ergonomic design
without any points or sharp edges, in order to point out the antistatic
properties of the product (pict. 1, item 1)
3. a watch as claimed in claims 1 and 2, characterized by a unidirectional
turning bezel embedded under the glass (pict. 1, item 2), autolocking,
adjustable through a fold-away screwed crown (pict. 1, item 3)
4. a watch as claimed in all preceding claims, characterized by an antistatic
mineral glass, scratch-proof with no-reflex treatment of the internal
surface
5. a watch as claimed in all preceding claims, characterized by an antistatic
strap, fireproof, hooked up to the watch case by means of an antistatic
pass-through screw (pict. 1, item 4)
6. a watch as claimed in all preceding claims, characterized by higher
visibility and readability, thanks to the usage of unconventional size
indexes and luminous materials (pict. 1, item 5) |
TITLE OF THE INVENTION: "Antistatic thermo-resistant waterproof watch"
DESCRIPTION
The watch referred to by the present patent is to be used by operators in high
thermal risk environments and potentially explosive atmospheres. Hence it's
been designed using new technology alloys, with mechanical properties
similar to steel but at the same time antistatic, electrically insulating and
thermo resistant.
All today's procedures for emergency operations in burst risky environments
definitely forbid the use of common wristwatches made up of conventional
materials.
The operator highlights the need of wearing a tool for measuring the time and
therefore to monitor his own activity, depending on actual risks and with
regard to the protection devices worn and their duration, like for instance
S.C.B.A.
This watch is actually a multifunctional device, expandable by means of
additional components (e.g. pyrometer, laser pointer, thermometer) capable
of turning the watch into a Personal Protection Equipment.
Indexes visibility has been specifically designed to allow time control even
with poor light, with luminous spheres in place of arabic numbers for hours
(pict. 1, item 5).
The autolocking turning bezel under the glass, adjustable through a screwed
crown at 2 hours, presents a luminous countdown numbering for easier
monitoring of the residual time (pict. 1, item 2).
The case has been designed with the aim of visually showing the physical
properties of the watch, therefore it's got smooth shapes, without points or
sharp edges, meaning the antistatic properties of the product through its
exterior appearance (pict 1, item 1).
The usage of the antistatic waterproof thermo-resistant watch as of the
present patent improves the safety threshold of emergency operators while
performing their assigned duties.
