DIGITAL WATCH MAGNIFYING ELEMENT

Abstract: Magnifying element (1) for use with a digital watch face (7) to magnify the numerals and hence facilitate the reading of time thereby. The magnifying element (1) has a face side (5) and an adhesive coated side which is covered by a tear strip (3) whose removal exposes the adhesive coated side. Appropriate manipulative pressure applied to the face side (5) of the magnifying element (1) results in the adhesive coated side being attached to the digital watch face (7).

Description: Description Digital Watch Magnifying Element Technical Field This invention relates to a transparent magnifying ele- ment for use with a digital watch to facilitate reading the time. 05 Background Art The prior art, U.S. Patent No. 2,107,720, discloses a dial cover for water meters comprising a magnifying glass attached to a hinged adapter annulus via a keeper wire or ring engaged with a keeper groove; U.S. Patent No. 10 2,679,785 discloses a wrist watch comprising a magnifying lens for such wrist watch set in a hinged annular holding frame. Disclosure of Invention The object of this invention is to provide a magnifying 15 element which can be easily attached to the face of a digi¬ tal watch to facilitate reading the numerals and hence the time. In accordance with the invention, there is provided a transparent magnifying element, one side of which is 20 adhesive coated and covered by a tear strip. In operative use, the tear strip is simply removed to expose the adhe¬ sive coated side which is pressure applied directly to the face of a digital watch. Brief Description of Drawings 25 This object and other objects of the invention should be discerned and appreciated from the detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein like refer¬ ence numberals refer to similar parts throughout the several , * ! views, in which: Fig. 1 shows the digital watch with the 30 magnifying element applied to the digital watch face; and Fig. 2 shows the magnifying element preparatory to its being applied to the face of such digital watch. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention In Fig. 1 of the drawinqs, reference numeral 1 generallv 35 refers to the invention of the transparent magnifying ele¬ ment . Magnifying element 1 is transparent. One side of flat magnifying element 1 is adhesive coated and is appro¬ priately covered by a tear strip 3. Such tear strip 3 is simply removed to expose the adhesive coated side of the magnifying element 1 with appropriate manipulative pressure being applied to the face side 5 of magnifying element 1 to affix same to the flat face 7 of the digital watch 9. Magnifying element 1, so applied to the digital watch 9, magnifies the numerals to facilitate one's thereby read- ing the time. V„ WIPO
