The present invention concerns that of a wrist watch that also has a pager function incorporated into it. The wrist watch comprises a flexible band and with a watch unit attached to the flexible band. The watch unit displays the time manually, while a LCD readout located on the flexible band displays the time electronically. The wrist watch also includes an incorporated receiver which can receive pages from pager units, with any message, numerical or otherwise, being viewable on the LCD readout. A mode button allows an individual to choose between viewing the time and viewing a received paged message on the LCD readout. The wrist watch also includes an incorporated LED indicator light that indicates if a page has been received.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of a wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function in detail, it is to be understood that the wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function is capable of other embodiments and being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function which has all of the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function which is of durable and reliable construction.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a wrist watch that has an incorporated pager function which is economically affordable and available for relevant market segment of the purchasing public.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment when considered with the attached drawings and appended claims.

VI. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

FIG. 1shows a top perspective view of the wrist watch2, whileFIG. 2shows a bottom perspective view of the wrist watch. Wrist watch2comprises a flexible band4that has two ends, a first end and a second end, and also has a watch unit6that has two ends, a top end and a bottom end. The first end of the flexible band4is connected to the top end of the watch unit6, while the second end of the flexible band4is connected to the bottom end of the watch unit6. The watch unit6has two faces, a top face and a bottom face.

The top face of the watch unit6has a covering8which covers the clock face20. Visible on top of the clock face20are an hour hand10, a minute hand12, a second hand14, and a plurality of markings16that are used by an individual to tell time. The hour hand10, minute hand12, and second hand14are all axially attached to a central axis18, which is connected to the gear works21of the watch unit6and pokes through the clock face20. Gear works21are only representationally shown and are located below the clock face20of the watch unit6.

The wrist watch has an incorporated receiver30which is designed to accept incoming pages through a pager. The receiver30is incorporated into the flexible band4near the bottom end of the watch unit6and is connected to a light emitting diode (LED) indicator light32, which is also incorporated into the flexible band4near the bottom end of the watch unit6. Once a page is received by receiver30, the receiver causes the indicator light32to intermittently flash to notify an individual wearing the wrist watch2that a page has been received.

Located adjacent to the indicator light32is a liquid crystal display (LCD) readout40that can be display either the time or a number that is received as a part of the page. A mode button50is located on the flexible band4and the mode button50will allow an individual to choose between viewing the time or viewing a sent phone number through the readout40.

FIG. 2shows a rear access panel door60, which covers up a battery compartment62where at least one battery64is located. The battery compartment62and the rear access panel door60is accessible through the bottom face of the watch unit6. The battery64provides power to the wrist watch2and is replaceable as needed.

FIG. 3shows an electronic schematic of the electronics within the wrist watch2. Gear works21are connected to hour hand10, minute hand12, and second hand14to manually tell time. Also, gear works are connected to a control junction box70, which can allow the time to be displayed on the readout40. Control junction box70is controlled by mode button50, which switches the control junction box70between one of two different modes, a “time” mode and a “page” mode. Receiver30also is connected to the control junction box70. Control junction box70is connected to readout40and will display the proper data on the readout40, depending on what mode it is on, as determined by mode button50. Receiver30and gear works21are connected to battery64for a power source.
