Parmi les dispositifs connus répondant à cette définition, on conanît, par exemple, les montres- bracelets et les montres de poche. Le caractère esthétique de ces pièces est généralement défini par la boîte, le cadran et les aiguilles. Certaines pièces plus originales, connues sous le nom de montres-squelettes, comportent une platine et des ponts ajourés qui permettent une vision partielle de leurs parties mobiles.Among the known devices corresponding to this definition, there are, for example, wristwatches and pocket watches. The aesthetic character of these parts is generally defined by the case, the dial and the hands. Some more original pieces, known as skeleton watches, have a plate and openwork bridges that allow a partial view of their moving parts.
Le brevet US 4459032 décrit une montre comportant une boîte en métal et deux plaques transparentes formant le verre et le fond de la montre. L'affichage de l'heure est réalisé au moyen de disques munis d'index et pivotant sur un arbre solidaire de la plaque inférieure. Tous les autres éléments de la montre sont logés dans la boîte même, à la périphérie de la montre.US Patent 4459032 describes a watch comprising a metal box and two transparent plates forming the glass and the back of the watch. The time is displayed by means of discs fitted with indexes and pivoting on a shaft secured to the lower plate. All the other elements of the watch are housed in the box itself, at the periphery of the watch.
Une montre comportant deux plaques de verre accolées l'une à l'autre est décrite dans le brevet US 4362397. La plaque extérieure forme le verre de la montre, ainsi que l'une des plaques d'une cellule d'affichage. La plaque inférieure forme l'autre plaque de cette cellule et un bâti-support pour les autres éléments de la montre. Une couche de métal, portée par l'une des plaques dans les zones occupées par ces autres éléments, les masque au porteur.A watch comprising two glass plates joined to one another is described in US Pat. No. 4,362,397. The outer plate forms the glass of the watch, as well as one of the plates of a display cell. The bottom plate forms the other plate of this cell and a support frame for the other elements of the watch. A layer of metal, carried by one of the plates in the areas occupied by these other elements, masks them from the wearer.
La présente invention a pour but de fournir un dispositif du genre ci-dessus qui, à la différence des dispositifs connus, non seulement offre une vision très large de ses éléments constitutifs, mais aussi présente des effets esthétiques intéressants.The object of the present invention is to provide a device of the above kind which, unlike known devices, not only offers a very broad view of its constituent elements, but also has interesting aesthetic effects.
Ce but est atteint grâce aux caractéristiques particulières que présente le dispositif de la revendication 1 ou la montre mécanique selon la revendication 4.This object is achieved thanks to the particular characteristics presented by the device of claim 1 or the mechanical watch according to claim 4.

Ces plaques sont faites de matière transparente, avantageusement du corindon (saphir, rubis), du spinelle, du quartz, voire du verre ou de la matière plastique.The watch shown in fig. 1 and 2 comprises a support frame formed by a stack of rectangular plates designated by the even numbers ranging from 10 to 28. These plates are made of transparent material, advantageously corundum (sapphire, ruby), spinel, quartz, or even glass or plastic.
La plaque supérieure 10 constitue la glace, tandis que la plaque inférieure 28 constitue le fond.The
Les plaques 12 à 26 sont découpées intérieurement de manière à constituer, lorsqu'elles sont empilées, des logements pour les pièces constitutives du mouvement de la montre. Celui-ci apparaît de façon détaillée sur la fig. 2, mais n'est représenté que très schématiquement sur la fig.1.The

rod 44 on which is mounted a pinion 45 (visible only in FIG. 2); - - A winding and time-setting mechanism comprising a
pull tab 46 actuable by therod 44, atime setting reference 48 pivotally mounted on the pull tab, apull spring 50, a rocker 52 actuable by the pull tab , a winding gear 54 (visible only in Fig. 2) pivotally mounted on the rocker 52, arocker spring 56, acrown 58, rotated by thepinion 45 and meshing with thereferences 48 and 54, a wheel ratchet 60 (visible only in fig. 1) mounted on thebarrel shaft 32 and finally apawl 62 and itsspring 64.
La plaque 12 comporte une ouverture circulaire 66 et la plaque 14 une ouverture circulaire 68, de plus petit diamètre, à l'intérieur desquelles se trouvent respectivement l'aiguille de minute 36 et l'aiguille d'heure 38.The
Le barillet 32, qui contient le ressort 30, occupe un logement formé par des ouvertures circulaires 70, 72, 74 et 76 respectivement pratiquées dans les plaques 16, 18, 20 et 22. Les extrémités de l'arbre du barillet pivotent dans des trous 78 et 80 des plaques 14 et 24 respectivement.The
Le rouage 34 et l'échappement 40 occupent un logement formé par des ouvertures de formes appropriées 82, 84 et 86, pratiquées dans les plaques 18, 20 et 22 respectivement. Ils pivotent dans des trous (non référencés) qui sont percés dans les plaques 16, 18 et 24.The
Le balancier 42 se trouve dans un logement défini par des ouvertures circulaires 88, 90, 92 et 94 que comportent les plaques 16, 18, 20 et 22 respectivement. Il pivote dans des trous (non référencés), pratiqués dans les plaques 14 et 24.The
Les pièces 46 à 64 constitutives du mécanisme de remontoir et de mise à l'heure prennent place dans un logement que définissent des ouvertures 96 et 98 pratiquées dans les plaques 24 et 26. La tirette 46 et la bascule 52 pivotent dans des trous (non référencés) percés dans la plaque 22, tandis que la couronne 58 et le cliquet 62 pivotent dans des trous (non référencés) de la plaque 24.The
Enfin, la tige 44 pivote dans un tube 100, collé dans un logement 102 que comporte la plaque 22.Finally, the
Les plaques 10 à 28 sont assemblées au moyen de quatre vis 104 et de quatre pied-vis 106, respectivement engagés dans des trous 108, pratiqués dans chacune des plaques, à l'exception de la plaque 22.The
Cette dernière, moins longue que les autres, comporte quatre trous 110 qui permettent de la positionner sur la plaque 24 au moyen de quatre pieds 112 solidaires de celle-ci et s'engageant dans les trous 110. Grâce à cette disposition, il est possible d'insérer entre les plaques 20 et 24, aux extrémités de la plaque 22, deux attaches de bracelet 114 et 116 qui comportent des trous 118 pour le passage des pied-vis 106.The latter, shorter than the others, has four
La plaque 22 est ici plus épaisse que les autres afin de permettre l'usage d'une tige de mise à l'heure et d'attaches de bracelet suffisamment rigides pour supporter les contraintes normales auxquelles une montre peut être soumise.The
Les ouvertures peuvent être découpées dans les plaques par tout moyen approprié. Dans le cas du corindon et du spinelle, le découpage est avantageusement réalisé par faisceau laser ou par ultrasons. Quant au quartz, il se prête plus facilement à un découpage par un procédé photochimique.The openings can be cut from the plates by any suitable means. In the case of corundum and spinel, the cutting is advantageously carried out by laser beam or by ultrasound. As for quartz, it lends itself more easily to cutting by a photochemical process.
Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée au seul mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit. Notamment, le nombre de plaques utilisées peut être augmenté ou réduit. Quant à la forme des ouvertures pratiquées dans les plaques, elle peut soit correspondre assez exactement, comme représenté sur la fig. 1, à la forme des pièces constitutives du mouvement, soit au contraire s'en éloigner de manière à produire, par elle-même, des effets esthétiques particuliers.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the single embodiment which has just been described. In particular, the number of plates used can be increased or reduced. As for the shape of the openings made in the plates, it can either correspond fairly exactly, as shown in FIG. 1, to the shape of the constituent parts of the movement, or on the contrary to move away from it so as to produce, by itself, particular aesthetic effects.
Ainsi, l'invention offre la possibilité, non seulement, grâce à l'utilisation de plaques transparentes, de réaliser une montre dont toutes les pièces sont visibles, mais aussi, en jouant sur la couleur des plaques et la forme de leurs ouvertures, de créer des effets esthétiques très particuliers qui confèrent à l'ensemble un aspect proche de celui d'un vitrail.Thus, the invention offers the possibility, not only, through the use of transparent plates, of making a watch in which all the parts are visible, but also, by playing on the color of the plates and the shape of their openings, create very particular aesthetic effects which give the whole an aspect close to that of a stained glass window.
Il est aussi possible de déposer sur les plaques, ou au moins certaines d'entre elles, un revêtement coloré très mince, de l'ordre de quelques microns, qui contribue à l'esthétique de la montre.It is also possible to deposit on the plates, or at least some of them, a very thin colored coating, of the order of a few microns, which contributes to the aesthetics of the watch.
L'utilisation de plaques en corindon permet de réaliser une montre particulièrement remarquable. Ce matériau a une dureté qui lui confère une très grande résistance à l'abrasion. De plus, il est possible de réaliser des plaques dont l'épaisseur peut attendre 0,2 à 0,3 mm, ce qui permet de multiplier le nombre de plaques et augmente donc les possibilités de créer des effets esthétiques.The use of corundum plates makes it possible to produce a particularly remarkable watch. This material has a hardness which gives it a very high resistance to abrasion. In addition, it is possible to produce plates whose thickness can wait for 0.2 to 0.3 mm, which makes it possible to multiply the number of plates and therefore increases the possibilities of creating aesthetic effects.
Il faut enfin noter que, d'une part, l'utilisation de matériaux durs, surtout tels que le corindon et le spinelle, mais aussi le quartz et, d'autre part, la possibilité offerte de limiter au strict minimum les ajourages qui affaiblissent la structure des montres squelettes, permettent de réaliser une montre mince, d'aspect particulièrement original, possédant une excellente rigidité et laissant visible ses parties mobiles.It should finally be noted that, on the one hand, the use of hard materials, especially such as corundum and spinel, but also quartz and, on the other hand, the possibility offered to limit to the strict minimum the openings which weaken the structure of the skeleton watches makes it possible to produce a thin watch, of particularly original appearance, having excellent rigidity and leaving visible its moving parts.
Le résultat obtenu sur le plan esthétique est tel qu'il se suffit à lui-même et qu'en conséquence, la fonction d'affichage de l'heure peut être supprimée pour ne laisser qu'un ensemble de mobiles intégrés dans une sorte de vitrail.The aesthetic result is such that it is self-sufficient and that consequently, the time display function can be omitted to leave only a set of mobiles integrated in a sort of stained glass.
