Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch case with a bottom separable from the middle part. More particularly, this invention relates to a watch case provided with a bottom forming with the two attachments to the bracelet one and the same piece.
  • Document CH 662 698 discloses a watch case comprising a bottom separable from the middle part, this bottom forming with the two attachments to the bracelet one and the same piece.
  • the strap attachment comprises a base at the ends of which there are two horns used for fixing the strap fixing bar, the base of this clip being connected to the bottom by a bridge.
  • the bridge of this fastener has the shape of a rectangular parallelipiped and the base of the fastener of elongated shape and oriented transversely to the bridge has an external surface located in the same plane as the external surface of said back of this watch case, the cross section of the base having the shape of a triangle whose external angle is truncated.
  • Each of the horns has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped located on one of the ends of the base of the clip. Since the base section is of truncated triangular shape, the horn has a general orientation whose direction is slightly angularly offset from the direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the outer surface of the bottom of the box.
  • the attachment described in this document has the following drawback: the truncated triangular section of the base associated with two horns, each having the shape of a rectangular parallelipiped, generates an embodiment in several steps requiring at least one machining step.
  • This document therefore describes a watch case having fasteners with simple geometric shapes, but requiring a relatively expensive production.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a watch case comprising a bottom separable from the middle part and forming with two fasteners to fix a bracelet a single piece, each fastener comprising two horns whose general orientation is an angular offset relative to the median plane three hours - nine hours of said watch case, for an inexpensive manufacturing cost.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a watch case with horns having a shape adapted to define a blind hole intended for one end of a means of fixing said bracelet.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a watch case comprising a middle part, a base defining a general plan and two fasteners for attaching a bracelet, this bottom forming with the two fasteners a single piece, each of said fasteners having, relative to a projection in said general plane of said bottom, substantially the general shape of a T, the middle branch of which forms a bridge connecting the attachment to said bottom and the transverse branch of which forms a base for two horns extending respectively from the two ends of this base in one and the same direction along an axis of general orientation having an angular offset relative to the median plane three hours - nine hours of said watch case, the two horns belonging to the same attachment having substantially a plane of symmetry comprising said general orientation axis of each of these two horns, said watch case being characterized by that said base of each fastener is substantially symmetrical relative to said plane of symmetry of the two horns extending from this base.
  • said bridge connecting said base to said bottom is curved on the side of the external surface of this bottom, the profile formed by the external surfaces of said bottom, of said bridge and of said base in the median plane six to twelve o'clock in the said watch case defining a continuous and smooth line.
  • said horns have a thickness greater than the thickness of the peripheral region of said bottom and each of these horns has a blind hole having a single opening located in the internal surface of said horn and intended to receive one end of a means serving to fix said bracelet to said watch case.
  • said horns have substantially the shape of a semi-ellipsoid of revolution.
  • the result of this preferred embodiment is a watch case whose thickness of the peripheral region of the bottom is independent and substantially less than the thickness of the horns, which has a double advantage.
  • n '' does not affect the thickness of the peripheral region of the back, which allows the latter to be small enough to give the watch case a minimum thickness without requiring a hole for the end of the bar which crosses the horn entirely.
  • the peripheral region of the back has a relatively small thickness, so that this back separable from the middle stays below of the hole in the time setting rod.
  • the thickness of the horn being independent of the thickness of the peripheral region of the back, the horn can have a thickness large enough to present a harmonious shape which underlines the aesthetic character of this watch case, the horn having for example a form of a half-ellipsoid of revolution or a half-egg or any other artistic form evoking the artisanal work of a goldsmith.
  • the watch case 1 comprises a middle-bezel 2 and a part 4 forming the base 6 with the two fasteners 8 and 9 used to fix the bracelet.
  • This watch case also includes a glass 10 placed in a seal 11, which also acts as a flange between the glass 10 and the dial 12 of this watch.
  • the movement 14 of this watch is housed in a casing circle 16 having in radial section an extension which comes to bear against the internal surface 18 of the base 6.
  • a seal 20 is provided inside a housing formed by the middle part-bezel 2, the bottom 6 and the casing ring 16.
  • the part 4 forming the bottom with the two fasteners used to fix the bracelet essentially comprises four regions having a distinct thickness.
  • the thinnest region, of a thickness 22 forms the central region 21 of the back 6, this central region 21 comprising the region of superposition with the movement 14 of the watch.
  • the peripheral region 23 of the bottom 6 forms a second region having a specific thickness 24, the outer edge of the bottom being rounded.
  • the internal surface of this peripheral region 23 constitutes the contact surface with the middle-bezel 2 of this watch case.
  • Holes 26 are provided in this peripheral region 23, these holes being intended for the passage of the fixing screws 28 serving to hold together the middle part-bezel 2 and the part 4 forming the base with the two fasteners for fixing the bracelet.
  • the base 30 of each of the two fasteners 8 and 9 forms a third region of the part 4 having a specific thickness, namely a thickness 31 slightly greater than the thickness 24 of the peripheral region 23 of this part 4.
  • this part 4 further comprises four horns 34a to 34d, each of these horns defining a width 35 greater than the thickness 24 of the peripheral region 23 of the bottom 6 and greater than or equal to the thickness 31 of the base 30 of the fastener 8, respectively 9.
  • the thickness 31 of the base 30 may be, in another variant of this embodiment, less than or equal to the thickness 24 of the peripheral region 23.
  • each of the two fasteners 8 and 9 also comprises a bridge 36 connecting the peripheral region 23 of the bottom 6 with the base 30 of the fastener 8, respectively 9.
  • This bridge 36 has a thickness which decreases progressively between the thickness 24 of the peripheral region 23 and the thickness 31 of the base 30 of the clip 8, respectively 9.
  • This bridge 36 forms a constriction between the bottom 6 and the base 30 of the fastener 8, respectively 9.
  • the base 30 has the form of a bar oriented transversely to the direction given by the two bridges 36 of the part 4 of this watch case 1. It will be noted that in the plan view in Figure 4, each fastener has the general shape of a T.
