Definitions
- the present invention relates to a click control device comprising a support, a pusher mounted mobile on the support so as to have a translational travel along an axis, and a spring element capable of exerting on the push a reactive force which passes through a maximum during the stroke of the pusher.
- the invention also relates to a watch comprising a case and a device of this type.
- Such a snap-action control device also called a snap action
- a snap action is usable in particular for actuating a contact blade of a switch electric, in particular for controlling functions of an electronic device portable.
- the push-button of such a device can also produce a command. purely mechanical.
- Such devices are used, for example, to control the start and stopping mechanical or electric chronograph watches.
- the click function causes the pusher to remain ineffective as long as the pressure exerted does not exceed one reactive force limit value, then this limit being exceeded, the device changes abruptly because the pressure required to complete the function is less than this limit value. It is thus possible to start or stop a counter with precision.
- the parts ensuring the click function make usually part of the chronograph mechanism and are fixed on a bridge or on the movement plate.
- the force to be overcome is generated by a device of the type long necklace, with a spring working in flexion, which cooperates with a cam, like the provides for example the patent CH 642 220.
- Devices of this type require a large volume, which is a serious handicap in a watch.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a control device with simple and space-saving click. Additionally, the device should be easy to manufacture and assemble and reliable in operation.
- the present invention relates, according to a first aspect, to a click-type control device of the type indicated in the preamble, characterized in that the spring element comprises an elongated sheet of elastic material, interposed between the pusher and the support and having at least one central zone arranged in its central part and at least one pair of support zones located at the ends of said sheet, the pair of support zones and the central zone being intended to rest one against the pusher and the other against the support so that the stroke of the pusher tends to flex longitudinally said sheet, and in that said leaf has at rest a curved or V-shaped cross section
- the spring element does not need to be rigidly attached to the support, which should therefore not be particularly robust. It suffices that the bearing areas of the spring element are maintained at the correct locations, for example by the pusher or by a housing in which this element is freely fitted. In fact, the spring element does not need to be fixed neither to the support nor to the pusher. Another advantage is that such an element can be very small, especially no larger than the pusher head, and which can be produced and mount the entire device at a very low price.
- the latter comprises, in its central part, an orifice through which passes a rod of the pusher.
- said pair of support zones is located on a concave face, and the middle zone on a convex face of the element to spring.
- the support is in abutment against the concave face and the push against the convex face.
- the spring element is positioned relative to the support and push button.
- it includes cutouts in the vicinity of its opposite ends in contact with the pusher.
- the latter is provided with protrusions engaged in these cutouts to ensure the relative positioning of the spring element and the pusher.
- the pusher itself can be guided in a way classic compared to the support.
- the present invention also relates to a watch fitted with a box and a control device as defined above.
- the box forms the support for the control device
- the pusher has a head arranged outside of the box and a rod engaged in a hole in the box and opening out inside the latter.
- the spring element is arranged in a recess of a outer face of the box and cooperates with the head of the pusher.
- both the pusher head and the spring element of the control can be elongated, preferably oval.
- the device shown in the drawing comprises a support formed by a box of shows 10, a pusher 12 mounted movable in translation along an axis A-A on the box 10, and a spring element 14 interposed between the box 10 and the pusher 12.
- the box 10 can be made of any solid material, for example made of metal or plastic. It has a middle part 16 and a bottom 17, which define a housing 18 in which is disposed a watch movement 20. In the watch described here, the base 17 forms the plate of the movement 20.
- the middle part 16 is pierced with a cylindrical hole 22 whose axis, coincident with the axis A-A, is oriented radially, connecting the housing 18 outside the box 10.
- the middle part 16 comprises on its external surface an elongated recess 24 whose side wall 24a is for example in the shape of an oval cylinder.
- the bottom of the recess 24 has two opposite recesses 24b, adjacent to the wall 24a, and a curved central portion 24c having a shape of a spherical cap whose center is on the axis A-A pusher 12.
- the pusher 12 comprises a cylindrical rod 26, preferably made of metal, engaged in the hole 22, and a head 28 advantageously made of plastic, fixed to the rod 26 by overmolding and disposed outside of the box 10.
- the rod 26 has a diameter slightly less than that of hole 22, so that it can slide there freely. It is provided with two grooves 26a and 26b arranged so that, when the pusher 12 is in place, the groove 26a is inside the housing 18, flush with the inner wall of the middle part 16, and the groove 26b in the part median of hole 22.
- An O-ring 34 disposed in the groove 26b, is in contact with the wall of the hole 22 all around, to seal the passage of the pusher 12 in the hole 22 of the middle 16.
- the head 28 of the pusher 12 has an elongated shape which corresponds to that of the recess 24, so that it can slide there but without being able to rotate.
- She here has a cap shape having a domed outer portion 28a, integral of the rod 26, and an oval cylindrical portion 28b extending from the outer portion towards the middle part 16, inside the recess 24.
- the head 28 has a 28d concave inner surface in the shape of a truncated cone.
- the cylindrical portion 28b is provided, on its internal face, with two protrusions formed by fingers 28c extending respectively from the head to the interior of each recess 24b and of which the function will be specified later.
- Spring 14 is formed from a thin sheet of stainless steel, shaped general oval and provided in its center with a round orifice 14a whose diameter is slightly higher than that of the rod 26, so that the latter can slide there freely.
- the oval shape has a large axis B-B and a small axis C-C, these axes being perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the axis A-A of hole 22.
- the sheet forming the spring 14 is notched at the two ends of the major axis of the oval, to form cutouts 14b intended to receive the fingers 28c. She is curved or folded so as to have a shape inscribed on a surface geometric generated by a generator parallel to the longitudinal axis B-B, with a concave face 14c and a convex face 14d.
- the spring has a shape general roof which has two flat walls connected to each other by a portion rounded, thus forming a substantially V-shaped cross section.
- the spring has rotational symmetry about the axis A-A, thus that symmetry with respect to its median longitudinal plane passing through the axes A-A and B-B.
- the spring element 14 is arranged in the recess 24, so that the rod 26 passes through the hole 14a when it is engaged in the hole 22 and its face concave 14c is in abutment against the head 28, on at least one pair of bearing zones 36 located near the ends of its oval shape, while its convex face 14d is in abutment against the central portion 24c of the support by at least one zone median 38 near the push rod.
- the spring element 14 is positioned relative to the pusher 12 by the engagement of the fingers 28c in the cutouts 14b, so that it does not rub against the side wall 24a.
- the support zones of the spring 14 against the head 28 are found along the edges of the cutouts 14b. In the initial position shown in Figure 1, there are in fact two of these support zones 36 on either side of each cutout 14b.
- the convex face of the central part of the spring 14 bears against the box 10 on two median zones 38 located on either side of the orifice 14a.
- the spring 14 behaves like a beam supported in its middle part and subjected to a force at its two ends.
- the beam tends to bend on the one hand in the direction of its length, but also to flatten in its transverse direction C-C because of the tensile stresses which act along its two edges parallel to B-B.
- the curved or V-shaped shape of the spring tends to open.
- the arrangement of the spring and its bearing zones is symmetrical with respect to its plane longitudinal median, the forces and deformations are also symmetrical and do not require no fixing means to stabilize the spring.
- the reaction force of the beam is a function of its deflection and the moment static inertia of its cross section.
- this moment of inertia is all the more high that the V is closed.
- the V deviates during the stroke of the pusher, which reduces the moment static inertia.
- the force necessary to make flexing the beam decreases as the arrow increases.
- maintaining the pressure causes a sudden push in of the pusher, which gives rise to the function of click.
- the leaf spring 30 then suddenly comes into contact with the pin 32, thus ensuring the desired electrical contact.
- the transverse spacing between the two support zones 36 at each end of the spring 14 also contributes to flattening the cross section thereof, but this effect complementary is not essential.
- the spring 14 described above can not only be made inexpensively, but also is very easy to assemble and does not require great robustness of the support, since the greatest force applied to it is the pressure on the pusher. If this pressure exceeds the maximum reactive force of the spring, it will be absorbed by the fingers 28c abutting the watch case.
- the spring element could be turned over if the bearing surfaces corresponding to the box and the pusher are reversed. Many others solutions are possible.
- the spring element could for example have a round or rectangular shape, or even have a left surface.
- the static moment of inertia must decrease when the element is subjected to a bending. This condition is satisfied when the section of the element according to a plane defined by the axes A-A and C-C, which is perpendicular to the axis B-B along which flexion takes place, is curved in a rest position, i.e. when the element is not subjected to elastic deformation.
- the spring element could also be placed inside the box, or even in a housing made in the box and intended for this purpose. On the other hand, the spring element could be extended by one or more blades carrying out themselves the electrical contact in place of the leaf spring 30.
- the device could also be used for push buttons used in devices other than watches, such as phones or computers.
