Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a notch assembly device of a bottom and / or a bezel on a caseband middle.
  • Such a method of attachment is described in particular in the CH 556 '567 , referring to a form box in which a notch is formed on the inner side face of the middle part by two faces inclined in opposite directions, a surface inclined inwardly followed by the other inverted inclined surface, so that a narrowing is provided at the junction between these two surfaces.
  • the bottom has a flange extending inwardly of the box and the outer surface of the upper end of this flange forms the assembly surface.
  • the distance between two opposite mounting surfaces of the bottom must be slightly greater than the corresponding dimension of the narrowing formed at the junction of the inclined surfaces of the inner side face of the middle part.
  • the flange When the bottom is introduced into the middle part, the flange is deformed and at least partly resumes its initial position when it has passed beyond the narrowing, thus holding the bottom on the middle part.
  • a seal is housed in the outer side face of the bottom flange, below the assembly surface, so that this seal is pressed against the assembly surface of the middle inclined outwardly.
  • the bottom is not necessarily made of a material chosen for its elastic properties, so that the bottom edge whose elastic deformation is used to allow the attachment to notch does not confer good elastic deformation properties. Therefore, since we can not exceed the elastic limit, the deformation margin for hanging is necessarily low. Taking into account, on the one hand, the small deformation allowed for hanging and on the other hand, manufacturing tolerances, it is no longer possible to assemble any background with any case size. which can make it necessary to sort the bottoms and squares according to the actual dimensions of the distances between the respective opposite joining surfaces of the members to be assembled, or of their diameters, in the case of round boxes. Such work obviously constitutes a constraint that is not easy to manage. In addition, depending on the materials used, the gripping properties of such a method of assembly may vary, in particular depending on the number of times that the bottom of the box is opened and closed.
  • the first frustoconical surface serves to fit the middle portions of the polygonal ring into the groove of the middle part, while the second frustoconical surface serves to axially apply the bottom against a joint. seal housed at the bottom of the opening of the middle to receive the bottom of the box.
  • FIG. US 2'737'010 A bayonet fixing device in which two fastening lugs integral with the bottom of the box engage with two portions of a split elastic ring projecting inside the caseband, is described in FIG. US 2'737'010 .
  • the frustoconical surface of the bottom engaged with the split ring can produce an axial pressure to compress a seal.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for connecting a bottom and / or a bezel to a watch case middle according to claim 1.
  • an attachment tube takes up little space.
  • the wall of a tube is an excellent elastic element.
  • the elasticity can be given by elastic deformation of the section profile of the tube.
  • the elongated tubular section member may be a bending member held at both ends thereof.
  • the gripping force in the case of a tubular fastening element can be adjusted either by changing the thickness of the wall of the tube, or, preferably, by changing the length of the tube.
  • This attachment force can be further adjusted by appropriate choice of the material of the tube.
  • the present invention applies particularly advantageously to polygonal watch boxes also called form boxes (in other words non-circular shape).
  • the wristwatch case illustrated by the figure 1 has a caseband 1, in this example, of rectangular shape, a bottom 2 having two notch fastening tabs 2a associated with two opposite sides of the bottom 2 and of which only one is visible on the figure 1 .
  • Each notch bracket 2a extends above a nesting surface 2d of the bottom 2 and is intended to cooperate with an elongated elongated elastic member, having in this preferred example the shape of a tube 3, whose wall is elastically deformable, as will be explained later.
  • Each of the two attachment tubes 3 is intended to be housed in a housing formed in an internal assembly side face of the middle part 1.
  • the two housings are arranged in two respective opposite side faces.
  • Each of these housings 1a extends parallel to these opposite lateral faces and parallel to the planes of the openings of the middle part 1 closed by the bottom 2, respectively by the telescope 5.
  • a seal 4 is intended to be housed in a groove 2c formed around the entire periphery of the engagement face 2d of the bottom 2 in the caseband 1 ( figures 2 , 4, 5 ).
  • a bezel 5 is still intended to be fixed to the middle part 1 by the assembly device object of the present invention.
  • An ice-cream 6 and a gasket 7 are intended to be assembled on the middle part 1 during the notched attachment of the bezel 5.
  • This bezel 5 comprises for this purpose two housings 5a formed in the internal faces of two fixing lugs. 5b intended to be housed between the horns 1c of the caseband 1.
  • Each housing 5a, of which only one is visible on the figure 1 is intended to receive a hanging tube 3.
  • Each of these attachment tubes 3 is intended to allow the attachment of two notches 1b, formed between the horns 1c, on two opposite outer side faces of the middle part 1.
  • the figure 2 illustrates the bottom 2 and the bezel 5 assembled on the middle part 1, the seal 4 being compressed between the inner side face of the middle part 1 and the bottom of the groove 2c.
  • the notch fixing of the fixing lug 2a of the bottom 2 is engaged on the attachment tube 3 which maintains the profile of the deformed cross section. This deformation is obviously in the limit of elastic deformation.
  • the inclined face 2a 2 of the fixing lug 2a on which the elastic force exerted by the deformation of the cross section of the attachment tube 3 breaks down this force into a component which constantly exerts on the bottom 2 a force which maintains its flange 2b applied against the base of the caseband 1.
  • the Figures 3 to 5 show different phases of assembly of the bottom 2 on the middle part 1 by relative displacement in translation of these two bodies, using the assembly device described above.
  • the figure 3 shows the mounting of the attachment tube 3 in its housing 1a of the middle part 1. It is noted that the dimension of the opening of the housing 1a in the inner side face of the middle part 1 is smaller than the diameter of the attachment tube 3. In this case, it must be elastically deformed to enter the housing 1a, as illustrated by the figure 3 .
  • the figure 4 shows the tube 3 in its housing 1a, which is shaped to allow it to regain the initial shape of the profile of its section and a sector of the wall of the attachment tube 3 projects from the housing 1a and therefore the face side assembly of the middle part 1a.
  • the notch fastening tab 2a of the bottom has an inclined introduction face 2a 1 . It first comes into contact with the sector of the wall of the attachment tube 3 which protrudes inside the side face assembly of the middle part 1. This inclined face 2a 1 makes it possible to transmit to the wall of the 3 a portion of the force exerted to introduce the bottom 2 into the middle part 1. This force makes it possible to deform the section of the attachment tube 3, as illustrated by FIG. figure 5 , to the final latching position illustrated by the figure 2 .
  • the assembly device could also work with an elastic deformation of the fastening brackets 2a, or with elastic deformation distributed on the attachment tubes 3 and the fastening brackets 2a.
  • the substance of which the substance is based is not usually selected on the basis of its elastic property or at least this one is not its main property. Such is not the case of the attachment tube 3, so that advantageously, it is intended to provide most of the elastic properties of the assembly device.
  • the notch attachment is located inside the sealed space protected by the seal 4, so that this notch attachment is protected from external aggressions.
  • the attachment force of the assembly device can be adjusted using the attachment tubes 3.
  • a wall thickness can first be chosen for these attachment tubes 3.
  • the force adjustment hanging for a given tube wall thickness 3 will be by varying the length of these tubes 3.
  • the essential difference comes from the fact that one uses, in addition to the deformation of the profile of the tubular element 3, its elastic flexion.
  • the housing 1a for the tubular fastening elements 3 has, between its two ends which serve as a support for the ends of the tubular fastening element 3, a slight median recess, as illustrated by the Figures 7, 9 and 11 , preferably chosen to limit the degree of flexion of the tubular fastening element 3.
  • the tubular fastening elements 3 being straight, they only bear at their ends in the housing 1a.
  • the tubular fastening elements 3 may bend. It is obviously necessary in this case that the tubular element 3 is in one piece and that it is substantially longer than the notch fastening tabs 2a. These must obviously be located in the middle part of the tubular fastening elements 3 to bend them. In this variant, the retention of the tubular fastening elements 3 in their housings 1a is obtained by narrowing of the inlet opening in these housings 1a, as in the embodiment of FIGS.
  • FIGS 10 and 11 show that when the notches 2a of the bottom 2 are engaged on the elastic fastening elements, the tubular fastening element 3 does not necessarily return to its initial shape illustrated by the Figures 6 and 7 , but that notches 2a can also maintain it under a certain bending and that the resulting force is added to a component resulting from the deformation of the tubular profile and directed to apply the flange 2b of the bottom against the lower face of the caseband 1.
  • This variant in which the flexion is associated with the deformation of the tubular section of the fastening element 3 can facilitate the adjustment of the gripping force. It can also make more elastic hanging and unhooking of the bottom and / or the telescope. It also makes it possible to slightly increase the manufacturing tolerances and to choose, for the tubular fastening elements 3, materials having better elastic bending properties.
  • the Figures 12 and 13 show a tool 8 which can be used for the removal of the attachment tubes of their housing 1a.
  • This tool 8 has the shape of a C-shaped loop, elastically deformable. The two ends adjacent to the opening of this loop are rectilinear and coaxial, so as to allow them to be introduced into the respective ends of the attachment tube 3 after having separated from one another. Once the ends of this tool 8 are engaged in the ends of the attachment tube 3, as illustrated by the figure 12 it is sufficient to pull the loop formed by this tool 8. It is obviously not essential that the attachment tubes are fixed in the housing 1a. However, this detachable attachment of the attachment tubes 3 in their housing substantially simplifies the work, compared to free hanging tubes, which could otherwise freely come out of their homes each time we remove the bottom 2 or the bezel 5 and get lost easily.
  • the present invention finds a particularly interesting application in the case of the assembly of the bottom and / or the bezel on a caseband of the watch case.
  • polygonal shape especially square or rectangular.
  • this invention is not limited to this type of box. It could also be used for oval or round watch boxes.
  • the figure 14 illustrates the assembly device object of the present invention used to attach a circular bottom 2 on a round middle 1.
  • the assembly is made in this variant as described above, with the only difference that the attachment tubes 3 are shaped of torus segments and the housings arranged for receiving them in the inner side face of the caseband 1 are in the form of circular arcs of the same radius of curvature as that of the torus segments forming the hooking tubes 3.
  • the attachment tube 3 could be formed by a contiguous spiral coil spring, this for all the embodiments described above, wherein the elongate gripping member is formed by a tube.
