Definitions
- the invention relates to a reversible wristwatch comprising a first box enclosing elements suitable for controlling a first display and a second box enclosing elements suitable for controlling a second display, said first and second boxes each having a bottom and being placed back to back.
- the watch described in patent CH 646 569 consists of two parts fixed to each other and each constituting one of the faces of the reversible watch. These two parts form a single sealed box which is journalled along its axis at six o'clock in the afternoon on two bars each receiving one of the ends of a bracelet.
- the box has two side covers hinged at one of their ends to the box, covering the side edges of the watch case in the service position.
- the respective shoulders of the two parts of the watch are fixed together by means of screws.
- the proposed construction is complicated and requires a lot of component parts both for fixing the middle parts and for attaching the ends of the bracelet to the assembly thus formed. Since the two parts of the watch would need batteries to function, it is difficult to see how to access these batteries without first unscrewing all the screws which connect these two parts, which is not easily achievable by an ordinary user.
- US Patent 5,479,381 describes a reversible watch having at least two opposite faces and at least one movement.
- the middle part is attached to an extensible bracelet by means of horns so that the wearer of the watch can pass from one face to the other without having to remove the watch from the wrist.
- movements mounted in a single box and there is therefore no need to find a solution for attaching two separate boxes, themselves attached to a bracelet.
- 11 is also shown in patent CH 680 329 a reversible timepiece of the kind indicated above in the preamble.
- This article has a central part of each side of which is mounted a complete watch with its dial facing outwards. Each watch is articulated on this central part, the latter having horns for attaching a bracelet.
- the state of the art in the field of reversible wristwatches offers watches on the one hand box, and on the other hand watches with two boxes.
- the first category has the disadvantages of a generally high cost, due to the special construction of the double-sided box and the movements with double-sided display if necessary, as well as difficulties in replacing the battery in the case of movements. electric.
- the second category illustrated by patent CH 680 329, notably has the disadvantages of a considerable thickness of the assembly and a complicated mounting of the boxes on a common support.
- the present invention relates to a watch of the second category and aims to create a watch having a moderate thickness and allowing both manufacture at moderate cost and good comfort of use.
- a watch of the second category aims to create a watch having a moderate thickness and allowing both manufacture at moderate cost and good comfort of use.
- it is a question of creating a construction allowing an easy replacement of the battery by the user, without the aesthetics of the watch and the cost of manufacture being affected significantly. .
- each of the two boxes comprises at least one fixing element designed to be detachably attached to a corresponding fixing element of the other. box, to fix the boxes to each other in a position where their respective bottoms are adjacent.
- Each of the two boxes can advantageously be waterproof by itself and be designed from a common type of single-sided watch box, to which it suffices to add the fastening elements to the other box.
- the bottom of the box in question may include an ordinary battery door, which will be hidden by the other box but will remain easily accessible to the user thanks to the fact that the latter can easily separate the boxes by dismantling their mutual fixing. The replacement of a battery will then be carried out as in an ordinary watch.
- the fastening elements of each of the boxes comprise horns crossed by bars, the latter serving both as means for fixing the first box to the second and as means for fixing each of the ends which presents the bracelet to the assembly formed by said first and second boxes.
- the fastening elements can be arranged on the bottom of the box, for example in the form of sliding assembly elements of the dovetail type.
- the two boxes fixed to each other form a mobile box, which is pivotally and slidingly mounted on a support attached to a bracelet, the support having two parallel lateral bars between which the mobile housing takes place in two mutually reversed positions of use, positions in which two opposite lateral faces of the mobile housing extend along said bars.
- An advantageous arrangement in this case consists in that each bar of the support is provided with an articulation pin, which is engaged in a slide of the corresponding lateral face of the movable housing, and in that said slide is formed by juxtaposition two L-shaped profile recesses, each formed along an edge of the bottom of each box.
- Each pin can be secured to a removable part retained by means of a strap attachment bar, so that the user can easily remove the movable case from the support to separate the two boxes, for example to change one or to replace a battery.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the various elements making up a first embodiment of a reversible watch according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the various elements making up a second embodiment of a reversible watch according to the invention
- FIG. 3 represents from a different angle the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of a reversible watch according to the invention, in five successive positions of a mobile case composed of two boxes arranged back to back,
- FIG. 5 represents in perspective the two boxes of the watch of FIG. 4,
- FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the watch in FIG. 4, and
- FIG. 7 is a side view of the mobile housing, along arrow VII of FIG. 6.
- the reversible wristwatch has a first box 1 enclosing elements (not shown) suitable for controlling a first display 3 and a second box 2 also enclosing elements (not shown) suitable for controlling a second display (not shown, as it is located under box 2).
- first and second boxes are placed back to back so as to show the displays on either side of the assembly thus formed.
- the display 3 shown here is an analog display but could be of another form, digital for example.
- the display not shown and affecting the box 2 can be, as desired, digital or analog.
- boxes 1 and 2 can display the time, for example the local time for the first and that of another time zone for the second.
- each of the boxes 1 and 2 includes fixing elements in the form of horns, referenced 4 in the first embodiment of FIG. 1 and referenced 5 in the second execution of Figures 2 and 3, these horns being crossed by removable bars 6 and 7 for the first execution and by removable bars 8 and 9 for the second execution.
- these bars fulfill a double function: they serve on the one hand of means of fixing of the first box 1 on the second box 2 and, on the other hand, of means of fixing of each of the ends which the bracelet presents to the assembly formed by the first and second boxes.
- the ends 10 and 11 of the bracelet 14 of the first embodiment ( Figure 1) are fixed to the assembly formed by the boxes 1 and 2 by the bars 6 and 7 respectively.
- the ends 12 and 13 of the bracelet 15 of the second embodiment ( Figures 2 and 3) are attached to the assembly formed by the boxes 1 and 2 by the bars 9 and 8 respectively.
- the reversible watch comprises a first box 1 with its display 3 and a time-setting command 80 and a second box 2 whose display is not visible, this second box having its own time setting command 81.
- the two boxes 1 and 2 are arranged back to back, so that their respective bottoms 85 and 86 are adjacent.
- the first box 1 has at six o'clock a pair of horns 16 and 17 and at noon another pair of horns 20 and 21.
- the second box 2 has at six o'clock a pair of horns 18 and 19 and at noon another pair of horns 22 and 23.
- Each of these horns is provided with a bore referenced respectively 24, 25, 28, 29, 26, 27, 30 and 31. The diameter of each bore is adjusted to the diameter of the bars 6 and 7.
- Each horn of the first box 1 is juxtaposed to a corresponding horn of the second box 2. This is how the horn 16 takes place next to the horn 18, the horn 17 next to the horn 19, the horn 20 (not shown) next to the horn 22 and the horn 21 next to the horn 23.
- a housing is created at six o'clock 32 in which the end 11 of the bracelet 14 takes place, and at noon a housing 33 in which takes place the end 10 of the bracelet 14.
- the ends 11 and 10 of the bracelet 14 are provided with a bore referenced respectively 34 and 35. These holes 34 and 35 are arranged in alignment with the bore of the horns to receive the inserted bars 7 and 6 by sliding through the horns, so that once introduced, these bars fix the first box on the second and the bracelet 14 on the assembly thus formed.
- the box 1 can also be mounted on the box 2 by rotating it 180 ° in its plane. We would then have an incorrect assembly not suitable for a reversible wristwatch. This is due to the fact of the symmetrical arrangement of the horns of the first box 1 with respect to the horns of the second box 2. To avoid this we can break this symmetry by moving by example the horns 16 and 17 of the box 1 towards the outside of the said box and the horns 18 and 19 of the box 2 towards the inside of the said box. At this time the box 1 can only be mounted in one direction on the box 2.
- the second embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the first and second boxes 1 and 2 have four horns 5 at six and noon, each horn of the first box being superimposed on and fitted into a horn from the second box when these boxes are placed back to back.
- the housings 36, 37 and 38 takes place the end 13 of the bracelet 15, this end being divided into three sections 42, 43 and 44.
- the housings 39, 40 and 41 takes place the end 12 of the bracelet 15, this end being divided into three sections 45,46 and 47.
- the first box 1 has at six o'clock and in order a first male horn 48 provided with a bore 49 and fitted into a first female horn 50 which is presented by the second box 2, second 51 and third 52 female horns fitted respectively onto second 53 and third 54 male horns presented by the second box 2, the male horns each being provided with a bore referenced respectively 55 and 56, and a fourth male horn 57 provided with a bore 58 and fitted into a fourth female horn 59 presented by the second box 2.
- the first box 1 has at noon and in order a first female horn 60 fitted onto a first male horn 61 which the second box 2 presents, this horn 61 being provided with a bore 62, second 63 and third 64 male horns each provided with a bore referenced respectively 65 and 66 and nested respectively in seconds 67 and third 68 female horns s that has the second box 2, and a fourth female horn 69 fitted on a fourth male horn 70 that has the second box 2, this horn 70 being provided with a bore 71.
- the three sections 42, 43 and 44 of the end 13 of the strap 15 are provided with a bore respectively referenced 72, 73 and 74 and the three sections 45, 46 and 47 of the end 12 of the strap 15 are provided with a bore respectively referenced 75, 76 and 77. These bores are arranged in alignment with the bores of the horns to receive the removable bars 8 and 9 which fix the first box 1 to the second 2 and the bracelet 15 to the assembly thus formed.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show in the bottom 86 of the box 2 a cover 82 closing a battery door 83.
- this cover can exceed the level of the back of the box 2
- provision is made in the bottom 85 for the box 1 has a recess 84 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this recess being intended to receive a cover for the battery cover which is not visible and which is located in the bottom of the box 1.
- the present invention makes it possible to offer an extremely thin reversible watch, especially if two boxes having a small thickness are chosen, as marketed for example under the name of Swatch Skin (registered trademark).
- the way of making the bracelet 14 or 15 of the reversible watch is not described here. It can be an extensible bracelet as described in document US 5,479,381 or a leather bracelet provided with a pivoting buckle, as described in document DE 35 12,369.
- the arrangement proposed by the invention allows easy replacement of these batteries. It suffices to remove the bars to separate the boxes and have access to the battery doors.
- the horns on one side of the watch can also be arranged to form a hinge, so that it suffices to remove only the bar on the other side to spread the boxes and access each battery door. In the embodiment shown in FIGS.
- the reversible wristwatch comprises a reversible mobile case 100 formed by assembling a first box 101, enclosing a first clockwork movement provided with a first display 103, by example of analog type, and of a second box 102 containing a second clockwork movement provided with a second display 104, for example of digital type.
- the boxes 101 and 102 have a generally square or rectangular shape and are arranged back to back, so that their displays 103 and 104 appear respectively on the two opposite faces of the mobile housing 100.
- the two displays can be arranged to display the time, but one or the other could display something else, for example a timed time, an alarm time, stored data, a received message by radio or other alphanumeric information, or combinations of such items.
- the mobile housing 100 is pivotally and slidingly mounted on a rigid support 105 attached to the two ends 106 and 107 of a bracelet 108 which may be non-reversible.
- This support is shown in detail in Figure 6 and has two parallel bars 110 connected by a bottom plate 112, so that the support 105 has longitudinally a barrel shape inside which takes place the movable housing 100.
- Each bar 110 includes horns 113 provided with holes 114 to be attached to the bracelet 108 in the same way as in the previous example, that is to say by means of two removable bars 115 also passing through holes 109 of the ends 106 and 107 of the bracelet.
- Each bar 110 has a through hole 116 opening into an inner vertical face 117 of the bar, opposite the opposite bar 110.
- Each hole 116 is intended for the passage of a cylindrical journal 118 integral with a removable part 119 which is housed in a recess 120 of the bar 110, while the journal 118 engaged through the hole 116 emerges from the face 117 of the bar to form a hinge pivot.
- Each piece 119 has the outside shape the same as the horns 113 and it includes like these a hole 121 intended to be crossed by the bar 115, so that this bar maintains the part 119 in position in the bar 110 as seen in Figure 4 (e).
- the inner plate 112 of the support 105 does not extend over the entire length of the bars 110, but has an edge 122 set back from a vertical passing through the holes 116, in order to clear the space at below pins 118 for a reason which will appear later.
- the two boxes 101 and 102 are shown so as to show their respective bottoms 125 and 126, provided with battery doors 127 and 128 to allow easy replacement of the battery supplying the clockwork movement.
- a control ring 129 is provided on the box 101, as well as a control ring 130 on the box 102, in the usual position.
- each box On its side opposite the crown, each box has a small recess 131, 132 which, when the boxes are assembled as seen in Figure 4, allows the user to insert a nail under the crown to pull it.
- two longitudinal recesses 133 Along the other two opposite edges of the bottom of the first box 101, there are provided two longitudinal recesses 133 having an L-shaped profile and extending symmetrically over most of the length of the side of the box.
- Two similar longitudinal recesses 134 are formed along two opposite edges of the bottom 126 of the second box 102.
- the bottom 125 of the first box 101 is traversed entirely, in its zone central, by a wide groove 135 having a dovetail profile.
- the bottom 126 of the second box 102 has its central zone a wide rib 136 having a dovetail profile which corresponds to that of the groove 135 so as to be able to fit by sliding therein when the boxes are placed back to back, in the position shown in Figure 6.
- the groove 135 and the rib 136 constitute elements for directly fixing one box to the other without the interposition of an intermediate element.
- a pawl can be formed by a ball-head pin mounted on a spring.
- FIG. 4 shows five successive positions (a) to (e) of the mobile box 100 when a user turns it over.
- Position (a) is a first position of use where the first box 101 has its analog display 103.
- the retention of the pawls 144 is overcome and the housing is placed in the inclined position (b) by pivoting on the pins 118.
- the straight edge 146 of the housing is then lowered between the bars 110 of the support 105, in the area where the central plate 112 does not extend.
- To move to position (c) the housing is pulled back so that it slides on the pins to the corresponding end of the slide 140.
- the edge 146 of the housing is then higher than the plate 112.
- the pins 118 are not in the vicinity of one end of the bars 1 10 of the support, because the removable parts 119 which carry them can not transmit a force between the bracelet and the support and would not be guided properly at the end of the bar.
- the pins 118 are located very close to the end of the bar in order to abut against one end of the slide 140 in the two positions of use of the housing.
- each pin could be provided at the end of a screw passing through the bar.
- the watch shown in Figures 4 to 7 could further include stop members to prevent the movable housing from moving to the left beyond positions (a) and (e) of Figure 4.
- the ends 142 and 143 of the slide 140 could be deepened or widened locally so that the pawls 144 engage there more deeply.
- Another solution consists in providing at least one protruding stop at the left end of each face 117 of the bars 110, to serve as a stop for the mobile housing.
- Such a stop can also be formed by an element connecting the left ends of the two bars to form a rigid U-shaped frame. The plate 122 could then be eliminated.
- the horns 113 of the support 105 may be replaced by horns arranged in the extension of the bars 110, or by two handles connecting the ends of the two bars and each attached to one end of the bracelet, the support then having the form of 'a rectangular frame. These handles can also be provided with several horns similar to the horns 113 shown in FIGS. 4 and 6.
