Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif correcteur pour une pièce d'horlogerie telle qu'une montre-bracelet permettant de corriger une information fournie par un mécanisme indicateur.The present invention relates to a correction device for a timepiece such as a wristwatch for correcting information provided by an indicator mechanism.
Certaines montres, en particulier les montres à complications, comprennent un nombre si élevé de fonctions qu'il n'est pas possible de les corriger toutes au moyen d'une couronne unique. C'est pourquoi on a eu recours à des moyens de commande accessoires tels que des boutons-poussoirs. Parmi l'ensemble de ces poussoirs, on connaît des poussoirs miniatures comprenant pour l'essentiel une douille chassée ou collée dans une ouverture pratiquée dans la carrure de la montre et une tige cylindrique formée d'une seule pièce et apte à coulisser librement dans la douille. La tige comporte une première partie passant par une ouverture ménagée à l'extrémité intérieure de la douille, et une seconde partie de diamètre plus grand que le diamètre de la première partie et comprenant une saignée servant de logement à une garniture d'étanchéité coopérant avec la paroi intérieure de ladite douille. Un tel bouton-poussoir comprend un ressort de rappel en forme de spirale. Les opérations de correction se font en enfonçant la tige dans la douille au moyen d'un instrument pointu tel qu'un stylo à bille par exemple. Au cours de son mouvement d'avance, la tige du poussoir vient en butée contre un levier par lequel s'opère la correction. Cet enfoncement comprime le ressort. Si l'on relâche la pression sur la tige, celle-ci reviendra à sa position de repos sous l'effet de la force de rappel du ressort.Some watches, particularly complicated watches, include so many functions that it is not possible to correct them all by means of a single crown. This is why we have used accessory control means such as pushbuttons. Among all these pushers, there are known miniature pushers essentially comprising a sleeve driven or glued into an opening made in the middle part of the watch and a cylindrical rod formed in one piece and able to slide freely in the socket. The rod comprises a first portion passing through an opening formed at the inner end of the socket, and a second portion of diameter greater than the diameter of the first portion and comprising a groove serving as a housing for a sealing gasket cooperating with the inner wall of said socket. Such a push button comprises a spiral-shaped return spring. The correction operations are done by pushing the rod into the socket by means of a pointed instrument such as a ballpoint pen for example. During its advance movement, the push rod abuts against a lever by which the correction takes place. This depression compresses the spring. If we release the pressure on the rod, it will return to its rest position under the effect of the spring restoring force.
Des poussoirs du genre décrits ci-dessus ont des dimensions très réduites. De tels poussoirs permettent donc de gagner de la place. En outre, ils ne font pas saillie de la carrure et ne risquent donc pas d'être actionnés accidentellement. Ils ont cependant comme inconvénient d'être peu esthétiques et de nécessiter l'emploi d'un outil pour pouvoir être actionnés.Pushers of the type described above have very small dimensions. Such pushers can save space. In addition, they do not protrude from the middle part and therefore do not risk being actuated accidentally. However, they have the disadvantage of being unattractive and require the use of a tool to be operated.
Une autre alternative aux poussoirs est divulguée dans le document
La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients susmentionnés ainsi qu'à d'autres encore en procurant un dispositif correcteur pour pièce d'horlogerie permettant de corriger une information qui constitue une alternative aux poussoirs miniatures de l'art antérieur.The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks as well as others by providing a correction device for a timepiece for correcting information that is an alternative to miniature pushers of the prior art.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif correcteur pour pièce d'horlogerie selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a timepiece corrector device according to claim 1.
Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la présente invention procure un dispositif correcteur qui peut être actionné très simplement par le porteur de la montre au moyen d'un doigt ou d'un ongle. Aucun outil n'est nécessaire pour une telle opération. L'aspect esthétique de la montre est également sensiblement amélioré dans la mesure où toute forme appropriée peut être donnée au levier de commande qui peut notamment épouser les formes générales extérieures de la boîte de la montre.Thanks to these features, the present invention provides a correction device that can be actuated very simply by the wearer of the watch by means of a finger or a fingernail. No tools are needed for such an operation. The aesthetic appearance of the watch is also substantially improved to the extent that any suitable shape can be given to the control lever which can espouse the general outer forms of the watch case.
Selon une caractéristique complémentaire de l'invention, les leviers de commande et d'actionnement sont reliés rigidement entre eux au moyen d'une tige.According to a complementary characteristic of the invention, the control and actuation levers are rigidly connected to each other by means of a rod.
Les moyens constitutifs du dispositif correcteur selon l'invention sont d'une construction simple, ce qui permet de réduire les coûts de fabrication et de garantir un fonctionnement fiable d'un tel dispositif.The constituent means of the corrector device according to the invention are of simple construction, which makes it possible to reduce manufacturing costs and to guarantee reliable operation of such a device.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description détaillée qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation du dispositif correcteur selon l'invention, cet exemple étant donné à titre purement illustratif et non limitatif seulement, en liaison avec le dessin annexé sur lequel :
- la
figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'une boîte de montre munie du dispositif correcteur selon l'invention, cette coupe passant à travers l'une des cornes de la boîte qui permet la fixation d'un bracelet; - la
figure 2 est une vue en perspective de la tige reliant le levier de commande au levier d'actionnement, et - la
figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la boîte de montre sur laquelle on voit que le levier de commande est noyé dans une creusure pratiquée dans l'épaisseur d'une corne de la boîte.
- the
figure 1 is a sectional view of a watch case provided with the corrector device according to the invention, this section passing through one of the horns of the box which allows the attachment of a bracelet; - the
figure 2 is a perspective view of the rod connecting the control lever to the operating lever, and - the
figure 3 is a perspective view of the watch case on which we see that the control lever is embedded in a recess formed in the thickness of a horn of the box.
La présente invention procède de l'idée générale inventive qui consiste à procurer un dispositif correcteur pour la correction d'une information fournie par un mécanisme indicateur notamment d'une montre multifonctions qui soit aisé à manipuler, qui ne nuise pas à l'aspect esthétique de la montre et qui soit d'une construction simple.The present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in providing a corrective device for the correction of information provided by an indicating mechanism, in particular a multifunctional watch which is easy to handle and which does not detract from the aesthetic aspect. of the watch and which is of a simple construction.
La
Désigné dans son ensemble par la référence numérique générale 12, ledit dispositif correcteur selon l'invention comprend un levier de commande 14 et un levier d'actionnement 16 reliés entre eux par un organe de liaison rotatif 18 apte à tourner autour d'un axe général de symétrie X-X. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée sur les
La tige cylindrique 20 est avantageusement faite en une seule pièce. Sur cette tige 20 sont usinés deux carrés mâles 22 et 24 qui sont engagés dans deux trous carrés femelles 26 et 28 prévus dans le levier de commande 14 et le levier d'actionnement 16, de sorte que lesdits deux leviers 14 et 16 sont immobilisés en rotation relativement à ladite tige 20. La tige cylindrique 20 présente également une saignée 30 dans laquelle est logé un joint d'étanchéité 32. Vers son extrémité inférieure, la tige 20 présente également un rétrécissement de diamètre pour le montage d'un anneau élastique 34 qui sert à l'immobilisation axiale du levier d'actionnement 16.The
Le montage du dispositif correcteur 12 selon l'invention s'opère de la façon suivante. La tige 20 munie de son joint d'étanchéité 32 est introduite dans un trou traversant 36 ménagé dans la carrure 2 de la montre. Ce trou traversant 36 communique avec une cavité 38 qui débouche à l'intérieur du volume 8 délimité par la carrure 2 et qui est adaptée en forme et en dimensions pour recevoir le levier d'actionnement 16. Le levier d'actionnement 16 étant introduit par son extrémité présentant le trou carré femelle 28 dans la cavité 38, on fait descendre la tige 20 dans le trou traversant 36. Le carré mâle 24 de la tige 20 pénètre dans le trou carré femelle 28 du levier d'actionnement 16, de sorte que ce dernier se retrouve solidaire en rotation de ladite tige 20. Le mouvement de descente de la tige 20 est interrompu lorsque celle-ci vient buter contre le fond 40 de la cavité 38. A ce moment, on peut engager l'anneau élastique 34 sur la tige 20 de façon à immobiliser axialement le levier d'actionnement 16 relativement à ladite tige 20. L'opération suivante consiste à monter le levier de commande 14 sur la tige 20 en engageant le carré mâle que présente ladite tige 20 à son extrémité supérieure dans le trou carré femelle 26 dudit levier de commande 14. Le levier 14 se retrouve ainsi immobilisé en rotation relativement à la tige 20. Selon une première variante, le levier 14 et la tige 20 sont faits d'une seule pièce. Selon une seconde variante, ledit levier 14 est soudé sur ladite tige 20.The
On observera que, selon un mode de réalisation préféré mais non limitatif de l'invention illustré à la
L'axe général de symétrie X-X du dispositif correcteur 12 selon l'invention s'étend, dans les exemples représentés au dessin, sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan P du mouvement 10. Bien entendu, selon une variante le dispositif correcteur 12 pourrait également s'étendre parallèlement au plan du mouvement en étant engagé radialement dans la carrure.The general axis of symmetry XX of the
Le dispositif correcteur 12 est destiné à permettre à un utilisateur de corriger une indication fournie par un mécanisme indicateur 46. L'information à corriger peut être liée au temps. Il peut s'agir, par exemple, du jour de la semaine ou des phases de la lune. Mais l'information peut également n'avoir aucun lien avec le temps. Dans ce cas, le mécanisme indicateur 46 peut être par exemple un compteur que l'on incrémente pour enregistrer le score d'une partie de golf. A cet effet, le levier d'actionnement 16 coopère avec un levier correcteur 48 qui lui-même est en prise, directement ou indirectement, avec le mécanisme indicateur 46 dont les informations qu'il fournit sont à corriger. Il suffit pour cela que l'utilisateur fasse pivoter au moyen d'un doigt le levier de commande 14. Ce mouvement de pivotement est transmis par la tige 20 au levier d'actionnement 16 qui à son tour entraîne le levier correcteur 48. Avantageusement, le levier correcteur 48 peut exercer une force de rappel élastique sur le dispositif correcteur 12 pour ramener le levier de commande 14 dans sa position de repos.The
Comme on le voit à l'examen de la
Il va de soi que la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit, et que diverses modifications et variantes simples peuvent être envisagées par l'homme du métier sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention telle que définie par les revendications annexées.It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described, and that various modifications and simple variants can be contemplated by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
