Decorating Method Of Dial, Dial, And Timepiece - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18341010 titled 'Decorating Method Of Dial, Dial, And Timepiece
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a dial with a recessed portion and a decorative portion formed by laser irradiation. The decorative portion includes grooves in different directions and protruding portions.
- The dial has a recessed portion formed by laser irradiation.
- The recessed portion has a decorative portion at its bottom surface.
- The decorative portion includes a first groove extending in one direction.
- The decorative portion also includes a second groove extending in a different direction that intersects the first groove.
- The region between the grooves is divided into multiple sections by the first and second grooves.
- The decorative portion includes multiple protruding portions within these sections.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Watch dials: The described dial design can be used in the manufacturing of watch dials, adding a unique and visually appealing element to the product.
- Instrument panels: The technology can be applied to instrument panels in various industries, enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of the panels.
- Consumer electronics: The design can be incorporated into the surfaces of electronic devices, such as smartphones or tablets, to create visually appealing and distinctive products.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhanced aesthetics: The laser-formed grooves and protruding portions add a decorative element to the dial, improving its visual appeal.
- Customization: The design can be easily modified to create different patterns and arrangements, allowing for customization based on user preferences or specific product requirements.
Benefits of this technology:
- Simplified manufacturing process: The use of laser irradiation simplifies the process of forming the recessed and decorative portions on the dial.
- Versatility: The design can be adapted to different shapes and sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of products.
- Unique and distinctive appearance: The combination of recessed and decorative portions with intersecting grooves and protruding portions creates a visually striking and unique appearance.
