  • Patent number: 6901033
    Abstract: In an electronic timepiece 1 having a main plate 10, a drive circuit 36, a stepper motor 33, a train wheel, a dial plate, a power supply 15, and an insulation sheet 12, the insulation sheet 12 covers at least the vicinity of the power supply 15 as well functioning as a guide to position an hour wheel 11 in an axial direction. Since the insulation sheet 12 has a predetermined size, it is neither dislocated nor removed when it is attached, whereby the insulation sheet 12 can reliably perform insulation, and an assembly property is improved thereby. Further, the insulation sheet 12 can achieve the dual roles of insulation and assembly guide, which can reduce cost and ease an assembly job.
