Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une montre comportant une boíte, un mouvement d'horlogerie électrique et une pile électrique alimentant le mouvement et logée dans un tiroir mobile engagé dans la boíte.The present invention relates to a watch comprising a case, a electric clock movement and an electric battery supplying the movement and housed in a mobile drawer engaged in the box.
Il est courant d'ajouter, dans une montre électrique, un ou plusieurs
dispositifs électriques alimentés par la même pile que le mouvement
d'horlogerie et offrant des fonctions additionnelles, avec ou sans rapport
direct avec le mouvement d'horlogerie. Par exemple, on connaít des montres
combinées avec un dispositif tel qu'une calculatrice, une banque de données
électronique, un récepteur de messages radiodiffusés du type "pager" (brevet
CH 672 870), une alarme sonore ou silencieuse (EP 0 349 230), un capteur
de paramètre physique tel que la température, la pression ou le champ
magnétique, une lampe (GB 2 226 661, US 5 838 639), une caméra
électronique, ou un dispositif de transmission de données, notamment par
rayonnement infrarouge (GB 2 238 146, WO 96/34343, WO 97/19448).It is common to add, in an electric watch, one or more
electrical devices powered by the same battery as the movement
of watchmaking and offering additional functions, with or without report
direct with the watch movement. For example, we know watches
combined with a device such as a calculator, a database
electronic, a pager-type radio message receiver (patent
CH 672 870), an audible or silent alarm (EP 0 349 230), a sensor
physical parameter such as temperature, pressure or field
magnetic, a lamp (
Comme ces appareils additionnels consomment souvent plus d'énergie électrique que le mouvement d'horlogerie, il est nécessaire de changer la pile plus souvent ou d'utiliser une pile plus grosse. A cet effet, le brevet EP 0 460 525 prévoit une montre du genre indiqué en préambule, pourvue d'un récepteur de messages radiodiffusés ("pager") et d'un tiroir permettant d'insérer une pile relativement large à travers une ouverture latérale de faible hauteur ménagée dans la carrure de la montre. Cette construction est spécialement avantageuse dans le cas d'une montre avec "pager" parce le fond de la boíte peut alors être fixe et dépourvu de trappe de pile, ce qui permet d'y faire passer des spires de l'antenne.As these additional devices often consume more energy electric than the clockwork, it is necessary to change the battery more often or use a larger stack. To this end, the patent EP 0 460 525 provides for a watch of the kind indicated in the preamble, provided a receiver of broadcast messages ("pager") and a drawer allowing insert a relatively large stack through a small side opening height in the middle of the watch. This construction is especially advantageous in the case of a watch with "pager" because the bottom of the box can then be fixed and devoid of battery door, which allows it to pass the turns of the antenna.
Une idée de base de la présente invention consiste à utiliser un tel tiroir de pile pour loger aussi un appareil consommateur d'énergie électrique, notamment un appareil des types mentionnés plus haut.A basic idea of the present invention is to use such a drawer battery to also house a device consuming electrical energy, in particular a device of the types mentioned above.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne une montre du genre indiquée en préambule, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte en outre un appareil électrique monté dans le tiroir et alimenté par la pile.More particularly, the invention relates to a watch of the kind indicated in the preamble, characterized in that it further comprises an apparatus electric mounted in the drawer and powered by the battery.
En plus des avantages intrinsèques du montage de la pile dans un tiroir, cette solution permet d'alimenter directement l'appareil additionnel, qui peut consommer un courant relativement important dans certains cas, sans que ce courant passe nécessairement par des circuits internes de la montre. Un autre avantage notable réside dans le fait que le fabricant de la montre peut prévoir de combiner un modèle de base de la boíte de montre avec différents tiroirs contenant des appareils additionnels différents. De même, le tiroir étant de préférence amovible, le fabricant peut commercialiser une montre avec plusieurs tiroirs différents que l'utilisateur placera à choix dans sa montre.In addition to the intrinsic advantages of mounting the battery in a drawer, this solution makes it possible to directly supply the additional device, which can consuming a relatively large current in certain cases, without this current necessarily passes through internal circuits of the watch. A another notable advantage is that the watch manufacturer can plan to combine a basic model of the watch case with different drawers containing different additional appliances. Similarly, the drawer preferably being removable, the manufacturer can market a watch with several different drawers that the user can place in his choice watch.
De préférence, le tiroir est engagé dans une ouverture latérale de la boíte, la pile se trouvant à l'intérieur de la boíte lorsque le tiroir y est engagé.Preferably, the drawer is engaged in a lateral opening of the box, the battery being inside the box when the drawer is engaged.
Le tiroir peut avantageusement présenter une partie externe saillante à l'intérieur de la boíte, l'appareil s'étendant au moins partiellement dans cette partie externe. Ceci permet d'intégrer à la montre un appareil qui ne pourrait normalement pas trouver place entièrement à l'intérieur de la boíte.The drawer can advantageously have a projecting external part with inside the box, the device extending at least partially in this external part. This makes it possible to integrate into the watch a device which could not normally not find a place entirely inside the box.
Des circuits électroniques de commande de l'appareil peuvent avantageusement être disposés à l'intérieur de la boíte, hors du tiroir, et être reliés au tiroir par des moyens de contact électrique.Electronic control circuits of the device can advantageously be arranged inside the box, out of the drawer, and be connected to the drawer by means of electrical contact.
D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de l'invention apparaítront dans la description suivante d'une forme de réalisation particulière, présentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue en plan d'une montre-bracelet électronique équipée d'un tiroir de pile contenant un organe d'alarme silencieuse du type tactile,
- la figure 2 est une vue en élévation latérale de la montre,
- la figure 3 est une vue agrandie du dessus du tiroir,
- la figure 4 est une vue agrandie du dessous du tiroir, et
- la figure 5 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne V-V de la figure 4.

La montre 1 représentée dans les dessins comporte une boíte 2
pourvue d'organes d'affichage 3 sur sa face supérieure et d'une couronne de
commande 4 sur un côté de la carrure 5 de la boíte. Un tiroir amovible 6
recevant une pile électrique 7 est engagé dans une ouverture latérale de la
carrure 5 jusqu'à une position de service où il s'étend en partie à l'intérieur de
la boíte 2 et en partie à l'extérieur. Dans le présent exemple, la partie externe
8 du tiroir 6 se trouve entre la carrure 5 et une extrémité 9 du bracelet 10, à
laquelle il est rattaché par des organes d'attache saillants 11 et une barrette
métallique 12 comme une boíte montre usuelle et comme il a été décrit dans
le brevet EP 0 460 525. Le tiroir 6 est retenu en position de service par un
ou deux verrous 14 à ressort, s'engageant chacun dans un trou 15 du fond
16 de la boíte 2. Pour extraire le tiroir, notamment pour changer la pile,
l'utilisateur presse sur chacun des verrous 14 pour le dégager du trou 15 et il
tire le bracelet ou le tiroir lui-même. Un tel système de verrouillage est décrit
dans le brevet EP 0 460 525, auquel le lecteur pourra se référer pour plus
de détails.Watch 1 shown in the drawings includes a
La montre représentée comporte un dispositif d'alarme silencieuse,
fonctionnant comme un réveil et comprenant un organe d'alarme tactile 18
logé dans le tiroir 6. Le réglage de l'heure courante et de l'heure d'alarme,
ainsi que la mise en fonction du mode alarme sont commandés de manière
classique au moyen de la couronne de commande 4. Les moyens d'affichage 3
sont ici du type numérique et permettent d'indiquer d'une part l'heure
courante et d'autre part l'heure d'alarme et l'état d'enclenchement de
l'alarme.The watch shown has a silent alarm device,
functioning as an alarm clock and comprising a
Les figures 3 à 5 montrent plus particulièrement l'agencement du tiroir
6, qui comporte une partie 20 à section transversale en U, formant un
réceptacle pour la pile 7 et s'étendant à l'intérieur de la boíte 2 au-dessus du
fond de celle-ci. Une partie centrale 21 du tiroir s'emboíte dans une ouverture
latérale correspondante de la carrure 5, où elle coopère avec un joint
d'étanchéité. Cette partie contient les verrous 14.Figures 3 to 5 show more particularly the arrangement of the
Un logement 22 est ménagé dans la partie externe 8 du tiroir pour
recevoir l'organe d'alarme tactile 18, comprenant un moteur électrique 23
dont l'arbre 24 porte un élément rotatif 25 ayant un balourd, c'est-à-dire que
le centre de gravité de l'élément 25 est décentré par rapport à l'axe de
rotation de l'arbre 24, afin de produire des vibrations. Un organe d'alarme
tactile de ce genre est commercialisé par exemple par LG Electro-components
Ltd. sous la référence GPV-041A. Le logement 22 débouche sur la face
inférieure du tiroir 6, où il est obturé par un couvercle 26. Dans la figure 4, ce
couvercle a été enlevé pour clarifier le dessin.A
Pour l'alimentation du moteur 23, les deux bornes du moteur sont
raccordées respectivement à deux lames de connexion 28 et 29 traversant la
partie centrale 21 du tiroir. La lame 28 comporte une partie horizontale
flexible 30 qui s'applique contre le pôle de masse de la pile 7. La lame 29
comporte une partie verticale flexible 31 qui s'appuie contre un contact
latéral prévu sur le bord de la carte à circuits imprimés 32 de la montre.
Cette carte est alimentée par la pile 7 comme dans le cas du brevet
EP 0 460 525 et elle porte, en plus des circuits électroniques garde-temps,
des circuits électroniques 33 de commande de l'organe d'alarme 18 via la
lame de connexion 29. For the supply of the
Le signal d'alarme tactile produit par la rotation de l'élément 25 fait
vibrer non seulement le tiroir 6, mais l'ensemble de la boíte 2, dont le fond 16
transmet le signal au porteur. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire que le tiroir 6
touche la peau du porteur.The tactile alarm signal produced by the rotation of the
Bien que le tiroir 6 décrit ci-dessus soit rattaché à une extrémité du
bracelet 10, cette disposition n'est pas indispensable. Par exemple, l'ouverture
de la carrure 5 recevant le tiroir 6 pourrait se trouver à un autre endroit, en
particulier à l'opposé de la tige de commande 4.Although the
Les applications de la présente invention se sont pas limitées à une montre équipée d'un organe d'alarme silencieuse, mais s'étendent à tout autre appareil électrique monté dans le tiroir de la montre et alimenté par la pile logée dans ce tiroir. En particulier, l'appareil électrique peut consister en l'un quelconque des dispositifs électriques additionnels mentionnés dans l'introduction. En outre, le tiroir peut contenir des circuits de commande de l'appareil qu'il contient et comporter des moyens manuels de commande de l'appareil, par exemple des touches. Ceci permet d'agencer le tiroir spécifiquement en fonction de l'appareil qu'il contient et de l'utiliser en combinaison avec une montre d'un type standard, en permettant de changer l'appareil au gré du fabricant ou de l'utilisateur.The applications of the present invention are not limited to a watch fitted with a silent alarm device, but extend to all other electrical device mounted in the watch drawer and powered by the battery housed in this drawer. In particular, the electrical apparatus may consist of any of the additional electrical devices mentioned in the introduction.
