Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and a method for fixing an element of a watch with respect to another with an adjustable mutual angular orientation, and more particularly a device and a method of fixing for a watch case having a screwed back whose alignment can be adjusted with respect to a vertical axis 12 o'clock-6 o'clock.
- the patent document CH699777 proposes an alternative solution for mounting a steerable bottom on a watch case using an adjusting ring acting as an axial stop to define the angular position of the bottom.
- the ring is screwed to the middle or to the bottom with a predetermined tightening torque, while the bottom is screwed to the middle part by means of threads arranged in the opposite direction, so that the ring can not be driven into position. rotation when the bottom reaches abutment on the middle part.
- the bottom is screwed directly onto a piece rigidly fixed to the watch case.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a solution for fixing a bottom to a middle watch, and more generally one element of a watch relative to another with an adjustable mutual angular orientation, which is free from known limitations.
- a fixing device characterized in that it comprises an intermediate element provided with a threaded portion arranged to cooperate with that of a first element to be assembled and another threaded portion arranged to cooperating with that of a second element to be assembled, the threading pitches of the threaded portions of the intermediate element being differentiated.
- An advantage of the proposed solution is that it can easily perform the angular correction as a function of the difference between the thread pitches used, which is predetermined.
- the angular adjustment of the intermediate element can thus be carried out at one time, and no longer by successive approximations.
- the figure 1 discloses a preferred embodiment of the invention according to which the elements to be assembled are respectively a bottom 1 and a middle part 2.
- the invention could also be used for example for a crown or a valve, these examples being given for information but not limiting.
- the elements to be assembled may also consist of all pieces integral in rotation respectively of the bottom and the middle of a watch.
- An O-ring 21 is conventionally inserted into an annular groove at the base of the middle part 2, along a lower contact surface of the middle part 24, intended to come into contact with the upper contact surface of the bottom 14 in an assembled position. .
- the purpose of the O-ring 21 is to guarantee the tightness of the assembly proposed between the bottom 1 and the middle part 2, when the surfaces 14 and 24 are in mutual contact in the assembled position of the bottom 1 on the middle part 2.
- a first threaded portion 11 is machined on the bottom 1 and a second thread 22 is machined on the middle part 2; the present invention proceeds from the general idea of using an intermediate element 3 provided with threads and / or threads to be screwed simultaneously to the bottom and to the middle, so that the bottom 1 and the middle part 2 are no longer assembled directly to each other.
- the intermediate element 3 is a ring provided with a third threaded portion 31 on its inner periphery, which cooperates with the first threaded portion 11 of the bottom 1, and a fourth threaded portion 32 on its periphery. inside which cooperates with the second threaded portion 22, which here consists of a tapping of the middle part 2 according to the preferred embodiment illustrated.
- the second threaded portion 22 is arranged on an inner wall of the middle part 2, so that the diameter of the ring is reduced; according to a variant it would however also be possible to arrange the second threaded portion 22 of the middle part on its outer wall so that this threaded portion cooperates with the internal thread of a ring 3 whose external thread would cooperate with a threaded portion 11 of the bottom 1.
- a ring will be preferred because it is simple to machine and inexpensive because of very small volume.
- the ring according to the invention is preferably threaded and threaded over its entire height to simplify its manufacturing process and comprises lower and upper surfaces (references respectively 34 and 33) substantially flat.
- the figure 2 shows an intermediate element 3 in the form of a ring according to the preferred embodiment described in FIG. figure 1 previous, top view.
- the third threaded portion 31 and the fourth threaded portion 32 - there can be seen notches which are intended to receive tenons of a gripping tool to facilitate its screwing, arranged on the upper surface 33 of the ring.
- These first notches 331 are preferably identical to the second notches 13 of the bottom, so that the same tool can be used to screw the ring on the bottom 1 and then the bottom-ring assembly on the middle part 2.
- the ring corresponding to a preferred embodiment of the intermediate element 3 illustrated in FIG. figure 2 furthermore comprises angular marks 332 intended to facilitate the adjustment operation in order to reorient the bottom correctly with respect to a predetermined axis, such as, for example, the axis 6h-12h.
- angular marks 34 preferably consist of graduations arranged on the upper face of the ring and may for example be used in cooperation with an index or any form of marker (not shown) arranged on the bottom 1.
- first notches 331 may be used as angular references; in this case the angular spacing between two adjacent notches should be chosen sufficiently small, such as less than 15 degrees, to provide a granularity to dispense with any other reference to perform the angular adjustment correction of the ring (element intermediate 3) relative to the bottom 1, whose principle is described below.
- the figure 3 is a diagram illustrating the various sequences used according to the invention for assembling the bottom 1 to the middle part 2.
- the intermediate element 3 is screwed on, which can take the form of a ring according to a of preferential embodiment, on the bottom 1 by means of the first threaded portion 11, cooperating with the third threaded portion 31 of the intermediate member 3 to the stop.
- the arrival at the stop corresponds to the moment when the lower surface 34 of the intermediate element 3 comes into contact with the upper contact surface 14 of the bottom 1.
- a second step B the bottom assembly 1 is screwed together - intermediate element 3 on the middle part 2 by means of the second threaded portion 22, cooperating with the fourth threaded portion 32 of the intermediate element 3, so that the bottom 1 comes into abutment with the middle part 2, this arrival in stop corresponding to the moment when the upper contact surface 14 of the bottom 1 comes into contact with the lower contact surface 23 of the middle part 2, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 .
- FIG. 4 shows that the referenced surfaces 14 of the bottom 1, 24 of the middle part 2 and 34 of the intermediate element 3 are then located in the same horizontal plane, while the Figure 4A shows that the logo 15 disposed on the portion 10 of the bottom is oriented at an angle 120 relative to the axis 200 12h-6h of the watch.
- the figure 4 also highlights, in addition to the elements already described in the context of the figure 1 , the threaded portions 31,32 of the ring (the intermediate element 3) which we see on the one hand that they are arranged in the same direction, so that the screwing operation of the bottom-ring assembly on the middle part 2 can be performed without danger of unscrewing the ring relative to the bottom and secondly that the thread pitch of the third threaded portion 31 is smaller than the thread pitch of the fourth threaded portion 32, which allows to minimize the angular correction of the ring relative to the bottom when necessary.
- the relative magnitudes of the thread pitches could be reversed but in this case the angle of correction of the ring relative to the bottom (referenced 130 on the Figure 4A ) would always be higher than the previous orientation of the fund (referenced 120 on the Figure 4A ).
- the invention makes it possible to perform a simple and rapid step of angular correction of the bottom precisely thanks to the fact that the third and fourth threading steps 31, 32 are differentiated. It suffices to unscrew the ring (intermediate element 3) from the bottom 1 of a dependent angle the difference between the threading steps 310 and 320 of the ring (intermediate element 3) and then screw the ring and the bottom 1 back on the middle part 2 to obtain the desired orientation of the bottom 1.
- Step C of the diagram of the figure 3 is to visualize the angular orientation 120 of the bottom 1 relative to the middle part 2 in the assembled position, illustrated by the Figures 4 and 4A .
- This step can be facilitated by the presence of angular markers on the middle part (not shown) and / or on the bottom 1; notches 13 of the bottom can also be used for this purpose.
- the internal diameter of the ring is for example 30 millimeters and the outer diameter 32 millimeters
- the pitch 310 of the first and second threads 11, 31 is 0.5
- the pitch 320 of the third and fourth threads 22, 32 is 0.4, that is to say that a complete turn of 360 degrees corresponds respectively to axial displacements of 0.5 and 0.4 millimeters of the ring.
- the adjustment angle 130 is derived from the orientation angle 120 determined in step C by simply multiplying the pitch ratio.
- 130 120 * 310/320 and according to a particularly preferred variant, this ratio of preference can be chosen less than 1 ⁇ 2 so that the correction angle is always less than 180 degrees, which results in easy handling if it is done manually.
- An angle greater than 180 degrees would require a more awkward operation where the amount of twisting of the arm and / or wrist could be uncomfortable.
- step E unscrew the intermediate element 3 from the bottom 1 on a stroke corresponding angle, which can be facilitated by the angular marks 332 or the notches when they are used as angular references. Once it is in a good position, it must be ensured that the intermediate element 3 remains locked relative to the bottom 1 when the bottom assembly 1-intermediate element 3 is screwed back on the middle part 2.
- a locking step n is not necessary when sufficient frictional forces are present between the first and second threaded portions 11, 31, that is, when these are substantially greater than the frictional forces acting between the third and fourth threaded portions 22, 32.
- the blocking step E ' can be achieved for example by pointing electrical laser welding, or by material discharge.
- FIGS 5 and 5A show the assembly of bottom 1 - middle 2 in final position after the step F of screwing was carried out.
- the figure 5 sectional view shows the relative axial arrangements of the various constituent elements of the bottom assembly 1-ring (intermediate element 3) - middle 2, with in particular the axial displacement 131 resulting from the intermediate element 3 relative to the bottom 1 corresponding to the value of the adjustment angle 130 of the Figure 4A , ie 0.11 millimeters for the example described, while the Figure 5A shows that the logo 15 disposed on the part 10 of the bottom is now well oriented relative to the axis 200 12h-6h of the watch.
- the device according to the invention allows a simple and fast correction, by simple unscrewing-screwing operation, of the orientation of the bottom 1 relative to the middle part of a watch 2.
- This device can easily be replicated to the mutual angular orientation of any constituent elements of a watch requiring a precise position with respect to a given axis.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de fixation d'un élément d'une montre par rapport à un autre avec une orientation angulaire mutuelle réglable, et plus particulièrement un dispositif et un procédé de fixation pour une boîte de montre comportant un fond vissé dont l'alignement peut être ajusté par rapport à un axe vertical 12 heures-6 heures.The present invention relates to a device and a method for fixing an element of a watch with respect to another with an adjustable mutual angular orientation, and more particularly a device and a method of fixing for a watch case having a screwed back whose alignment can be adjusted with respect to a vertical axis 12 o'clock-6 o'clock.
Il arrive fréquemment que, lors du vissage par exemple d'un fond de boîte de montre sur la carrure de cette dernière, on s'aperçoive que, lorsque le fond est complètement vissé, les inscriptions ou motifs décoratifs qui peuvent avoir été par exemple frappés par étampage ou gravés sur la face du fond située du côté du poignet du porteur de la montre, ne sont pas convenablement alignés par rapport à l'axe vertical 12 heures-6 heures de la montre, ce qui, bien entendu, nuit à l'aspect esthétique de cette montre. Ce défaut d'aspect, s'il peut être toléré pour des montres bon marché, constitue un inconvénient très gênant pour des montres plus onéreuses.It often happens that when screwing, for example, a watchcase back on the middle part of the latter, it becomes apparent that, when the bottom is completely screwed, the inscriptions or decorative motifs that may have been struck, for example by stamping or engraved on the face of the bottom located on the wrist side of the wearer of the watch, are not properly aligned with respect to the vertical axis 12 o'clock-6 o'clock of the watch, which, of course, damages the aesthetic aspect of this watch. This lack of appearance, if it can be tolerated for cheap watches, is a disadvantage very troublesome for more expensive watches.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, des solutions usuelles consistent à apparier un fond avec une boîte de montre déterminée lors de l'usinage, de façon que l'on soit assuré qu'une fois complètement vissé, le fond soit parfaitement aligné avec l'axe 12 heures-6 heures de la montre. Cette solution n'est toutefois que peu satisfaisante car on s'expose à des problèmes si jamais le fond d'origine de la montre est perdu ou abîmé et qu'il est nécessaire de le remplacer par un autre fond dont on n'est pas sûr qu'une fois vissé sur la carrure, il s'aligne toujours convenablement avec l'axe vertical 12 heures-6 heures.To overcome this drawback, common solutions are to match a bottom with a given watch case during machining, so that it is ensured that once completely screwed, the bottom is perfectly aligned with the axis 12 hours to 6 hours of the watch. This solution, however, is unsatisfactory because we are exposed to problems if the original background of the watch is lost or damaged and it is necessary to replace it with another background which is not sure that once screwed on the middle part, it always aligns well with the vertical axis 12 hours-6 hours.

Le document de brevet
Un but de la présente invention est par conséquent de fournir une solution de fixation d'un fond à une carrure de montre, et plus généralement d'un élément d'une montre par rapport à un autre avec une orientation angulaire mutuelle réglable, qui soit exempte des limitations connues.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a solution for fixing a bottom to a middle watch, and more generally one element of a watch relative to another with an adjustable mutual angular orientation, which is free from known limitations.
Ces buts sont atteints grâce à un dispositif de fixation selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un élément intermédiaire pourvu d'une portion filetée agencée pour coopérer avec celle d'un premier élément à assembler et une autre portion filetée agencée pour coopérer avec celle d'un deuxième élément à assembler, les pas de filetage des portions filetées de l'élément intermédiaire étant différenciés.These objects are achieved by means of a fixing device according to
Ces buts sont également atteints grâce à un procédé de fixation selon la revendication 9, selon laquelle un élément intermédiaire est tout d'abord vissé sur un premier élément à assembler au moyen d'une première portion filetée jusqu'en butée, puis l'ensemble premier élément - élément intermédiaire est vissé sur le deuxième élément au moyen d'une deuxième portion filetée de manière à ce que le premier élément vienne en butée avec le deuxième élément, le procédé étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes:
- visualiser une orientation angulaire du premier élément par rapport au deuxième élément en position assemblée;
- déterminer un angle d'ajustement de l'élément intermédiaire par rapport au premier élément en fonction des pas de filetages utilisés pour ses portions filetées;
- dévisser l'élément intermédiaire du premier élément sur une course angulaire correspondant à l'angle d'ajustement;
- revisser l'ensemble premier élément - élément intermédiaire sur le deuxième élément au moyen de la deuxième portion filetée de manière à ce que le premier élément vienne à nouveau en butée avec le deuxième élément
- viewing an angular orientation of the first member relative to the second member in the assembled position;
- determining an adjustment angle of the intermediate element with respect to the first element as a function of thread pitches used for its threaded portions;
- unscrewing the intermediate element of the first element on an angular stroke corresponding to the adjustment angle;
- screwing the first element - intermediate element together on the second element by means of the second threaded portion so that the first element comes into abutment with the second element
Un avantage de la solution proposée est de pouvoir facilement effectuer la correction angulaire en fonction de la différence entre les pas de filetage utilisés, qui est prédéterminée. L'ajustement angulaire de l'élément intermédiaire peut ainsi s'effectuer en une seule fois, et non plus par approximations successives.An advantage of the proposed solution is that it can easily perform the angular correction as a function of the difference between the thread pitches used, which is predetermined. The angular adjustment of the intermediate element can thus be carried out at one time, and no longer by successive approximations.
Un autre avantage de la solution proposée de pallier les déficiences en termes de couple de serrage entre les éléments à assembler sans générer de déplacement axial du premier élément par rapport au deuxième en position assemblée, ce qui n'est pas le cas lorsqu'un élément intermédiaire est utilisé comme butée de réglage. Cette absence de déplacement axial n'altère par conséquent pas les propriétés d'herméticité de l'assemblage final.Another advantage of the proposed solution to overcome the deficiencies in terms of tightening torque between the elements to be assembled without generating axial displacement of the first element relative to the second in the assembled position, which is not the case when an element intermediate is used as an adjustment stop. This absence of axial displacement therefore does not alter the hermetic properties of the final assembly.

Un joint torique 21 est classiquement inséré dans une gorge annulaire à la base de la carrure 2, le long d'une surface inférieure de contact de la carrure 24, destinée à venir en contact avec la surface de contact supérieure du fond 14 en position assemblée. Le joint torique 21 a pour vocation de garantir l'étanchéité de l'assemblage proposé entre le fond 1 et la carrure 2, lorsque les surfaces 14 et 24 sont en contact mutuel en position assemblée du fond 1 sur la carrure 2.An O-
Une première portion filetée 11 est usinée sur le fond 1 et un deuxième filetage 22 est usiné sur la carrure 2; la présente invention procède de l'idée générale d'utiliser un élément intermédiaire 3 pourvu de filetages et/ou de taraudages pour être vissé simultanément au fond et à la carrure, de telle sorte que le fond 1 et la carrure 2 ne sont plus assemblés directement l'un à l'autre. Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré, l'élément intermédiaire 3 est une bague pourvue d'une troisième portion filetée 31 sur son pourtour intérieur, qui coopère avec la première portion filetée 11 du fond 1, et une quatrième portion filetée 32 sur son pourtour intérieur qui coopère avec la deuxième portion filetée 22, qui consiste ici en un taraudage de la carrure 2 selon la variante préférentielle illustrée. Selon cet agencement la deuxième portion filetée 22 est aménagée sur une paroi interne de la carrure 2, de telle sorte que le diamètre de la bague est réduit; selon une variante il serait toutefois également possible d'aménager la deuxième portion filetée 22 de la carrure sur sa paroi externe de sorte que cette portion filetée coopère avec le filetage interne d'une bague 3 dont le filetage externe coopérerait avec une portion filetée 11 du fond 1. Bien que d'autres formes soient envisageables pour l'élément intermédiaire 3, une bague sera privilégiée car elle est simple à usiner et peu coûteuse car de volume très réduit. La bague selon l'invention est préférence filetée et taraudée sur l'ensemble de sa hauteur pour simplifier son processus de fabrication et comprend des surfaces inférieures et supérieures (références respectivement 34 et 33) sensiblement planes.A first threaded

L'invention permet d'effectuer simplement et rapidement une étape de correction angulaire du fond précisément grâce au fait que les troisième et quatrième pas de filetage 31,32 sont différenciés. Il suffit pour cela de dévisser la bague (élément intermédiaire 3) du fond 1 d'un angle dépendant de la différence entre les pas de filetage 310 et 320 de la bague (élément intermédiaire 3) et revisser ensuite la bague et le fond 1 sur la carrure 2 pour obtenir l'orientation désirée du fond 1.The invention makes it possible to perform a simple and rapid step of angular correction of the bottom precisely thanks to the fact that the third and fourth threading steps 31, 32 are differentiated. It suffices to unscrew the ring (intermediate element 3) from the

Une fois l'angle d'orientation angulaire 120 déterminé, il faut en déduire, lors de l'étape ultérieure D, l'angle d'ajustement 130 de dévissage de l'élément intermédiaire 3 par rapport au fond 1 en fonction des pas de filetages 310,320 utilisés pour les troisième et quatrième portions filetées 31,32. Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré, le diamètre interne de la bague (élément intermédiaire 3) est par exemple de 30 millimètres et le diamètre externe de 32 millimètres, tandis que le pas 310 des premier et deuxième filetages 11,31 est de 0.5 et le pas 320 du troisième et du quatrième filetage 22,32 est de 0.4, c'est-à-dire qu'un tour complet de 360 degrés correspond respectivement à des déplacements axiaux de 0.5 et 0.4 millimètres de la bague.Once the
Sur la
Une fois l'angle d'ajustement 130 de l'élément intermédiaire 3 par rapport au fond 1 a été déterminé lors de l'étape D, on peut dans l'étape suivante E dévisser l'élément intermédiaire 3 du fond 1 sur une course angulaire correspondante, ce qui peut être facilité grâce aux repères angulaires 332 ou les encoches lorsque ces dernières sont utilisées comme repères angulaires. Une fois qu'elle est en bonne position, il faut s'assurer que l'élément intermédiaire 3 restera bloqué par rapport au fond 1 lorsque l'ensemble fond 1-élément intermédiaire 3 sera revissé sur la carrure 2. Une étape de blocage n'est pas nécessaire lorsque des forces de friction sont suffisantes entre les premières et deuxièmes portions filetées 11,31, c'est-à-dire lorsque celles-ci sont largement supérieures aux forces de friction agissant entre les troisièmes et quatrièmes portions filetées 22,32. Toutefois, on pourra privilégier d'effectuer une étape additionnelle de blocage E' de l'élément intermédiaire 3 par rapport au fond 1 avant l'étape de revissage F ultérieure, qui est effectuée au moyen de la deuxième portion filetée 22, coopérant avec la quatrième portion filetée 32 agencée sur l'élément intermédiaire 3, de manière à ce que le fond 1 vienne à nouveau en butée avec la carrure 2, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à ce que la surface supérieure de contact fond 14 arrive en contact avec la surface inférieure de contact 24 de la carrure 2. L'étape de blocage E' peut être réalisée par exemple par pointage électrique soudage laser collage, ou encore par refoulement de matière.Once the

On peut par conséquent constater que le dispositif selon l'invention permet une correction simple et rapide, par simple opération de dévissage-revissage, de l'orientation du fond 1 par rapport à la carrure d'une montre 2. Ce dispositif peut être aisément répliqué à l'orientation angulaire mutuelle de n'importe quels éléments constitutifs d'une montre nécessitant une position précise par rapport à un axe donné.It can therefore be seen that the device according to the invention allows a simple and fast correction, by simple unscrewing-screwing operation, of the orientation of the bottom 1 relative to the middle part of a
