Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférésDetailed description of the preferred embodiments

L'invention concerne un ensemble cadran 10 pour une pièce d'horlogerie 100.The invention relates to a dial assembly 10 for a timepiece 100.

Cet ensemble cadran comporte deux sous-ensembles :

  • un posage amovible 20, qui n'est utilisé que pendant la phase de fixation des décors, et qui n'est pas intégré dans la pièce d'horlogerie ;
  • et un cadran traditionnel, destiné à être intégré dans la pièce d'horlogerie ; qui comporte une plaque de base 1 supportant tous les éléments de décor ou/et d'affichage, et sur laquelle sont fixés des pieds 4, directement ou indirectement, par exemple par au niveau de plaques intermédiaires rapportées sur la plaque de base 1.
This dial assembly has two sub-assemblies:
  • a removable mounting 20, which is only used during the decoration fixing phase, and which is not integrated into the timepiece;
  • and a traditional dial, intended to be integrated into the timepiece; which comprises a base plate 1 supporting all the decorative and/or display elements, and on which feet 4 are fixed, directly or indirectly, for example by intermediate plates attached to the base plate 1.

L'invention s'attache plus particulièrement à réaliser l'assemblage des éléments de décor sans recourir au collage, en privilégiant des moyens de maintien mécaniques, même pour des décors très fins ou très fragiles.The invention focuses more particularly on assembling decorative elements without resorting to gluing, favoring mechanical holding means, even for very fine or very fragile decorations.

Cet ensemble cadran 10 comporte un décor tridimensionnel, lequel comporte au moins un élément déporté 7, qui est distant de la plaque de base 1, et fixé à cette plaque de base 1 au travers d'au moins un pied 4.This dial assembly 10 comprises a three-dimensional decoration, which comprises at least one offset element 7, which is distant from the base plate 1, and fixed to this base plate 1 through at least one foot 4.

Selon l'invention, au moins un dit élément déporté 7 comporte au moins un canon 6, qui est agencé pour être chassé, par appui sur un appui supérieur 69 qu'il comporte, sur une portée supérieure 46 que comporte un pied 4, et en appui sur un épaulement 47 que comporte ce pied 4. De préférence, ce canon 6 comporte un alésage 66, borgne ou débouchant, agencé pour coopérer avec la portée supérieure 46, et une face d'appui droite 67 agencé pour coopérer avec l'épaulement 47. L'essentiel est que son appui supérieur 69 soit bien dégagé pour l'appui d'un outil pour son chassage. Ce canon 6 peut prendre différentes formes : l'alésage 66 peut être borgne comme sur la figure 5, ou débouchant comme sur les figures 7, 11 et 12. La version débouchante peut permettre le chassage, après montage sur le pied 4, d'un élément décoratif supplémentaire, tel que pierre fine, ou autre.According to the invention, at least one said offset element 7 comprises at least one barrel 6, which is arranged to be driven out, by pressing on an upper support 69 which it comprises, on an upper bearing 46 which a foot 4 comprises, and resting on a shoulder 47 which this foot 4 comprises. Preferably, this barrel 6 comprises a bore 66, blind or opening, arranged to cooperate with the upper bearing surface 46, and a straight support face 67 arranged to cooperate with the shoulder 47. The essential thing is that its upper support 69 is clear for the support of a tool for its driving. This barrel 6 can take different shapes: the bore 66 can be blind as on the figure 5 , or leading as on the figures 7 , 11 and 12 . The open version can allow the removal, after mounting on the foot 4, of an additional decorative element, such as fine stone, or other.

Dans une variante particulière, au moins un élément déporté 7 comporte un canon 6 unique. Plus particulièrement, au moins un tel élément déporté 7 comportant un canon 6 unique est en porte-à-faux par rapport à ce canon 6 unique, en effet, le canon 6 apporte une rigidité suffisante pour autoriser un tel maintien d'un élément déporté 7 suspendu à la façon d'une aiguille.In a particular variant, at least one offset element 7 comprises a single barrel 6. More particularly, at least one such offset element 7 comprising a single barrel 6 is cantilevered relative to this single barrel 6, in fact, the barrel 6 provides sufficient rigidity to authorize such maintenance of an offset element 7 suspended like a needle.

Dans une autre variante, et tel qu'illustré par les figures, au moins un dit élément déporté 7 comporte une pluralité de tels canons 6. Plus particulièrement, chaque élément déporté 7 comporte plusieurs canons 6.In another variant, and as illustrated in the figures, at least one said offset element 7 comprises a plurality of such barrels 6. More particularly, each offset element 7 comprises several barrels 6.

Dans une autre variante, et tel qu'illustré par les figures, au moins un pied 4, comportant une portée supérieure 46 et un épaulement 47 pour la réception d'un canon 6, comporte encore un filetage 41 agencé pour coopérer avec un taraudage 14 que comporte la plaque de base 1, et une face d'appui 45 agencée pour coopérer en appui de butée avec une surface complémentaire d'appui de butée 150 que comporte la plaque de base 1, opposée à un appui inférieur 49 que comporte ce pied 4.In another variant, and as illustrated in the figures, at least one foot 4, comprising an upper span 46 and a shoulder 47 for receiving a barrel 6, also comprises a thread 41 arranged to cooperate with a tapping 14 which the base plate 1 comprises, and a support face 45 arranged to cooperate in abutment support with a complementary abutment support surface 150 which the base plate 1, opposite a lower support 49 which this foot 4 comprises.

Dans une autre variante, et tel qu'illustré par la figure 11, quand le décor déporté 7 est trop fragile ou trop souple, tel une plume, un fil, une guirlande, un mobile suspendu, ou un élément de décor suspendu à un fil, ou encore un décor mince en cristal ou saphir, ou autre, l'ensemble cadran 10 comporte une structure amovible 70 adaptée à un tel élément déporté 7 comportant au moins un canon 6, par exemple riveté, ou encore chassé, à un tel canon 6. Cette structure amovible 70 est plus rigide que l'élément déporté 7, et est agencée pour permettre le positionnement de chaque canon 6 que comporte l'élément déporté 7, et son maintien pendant une opération de chassage de chaque canon 6 sur son pied 4 respectif. Cette structure amovible 70 comporte des moyens de maintien sur chaque canon 6, par friction ou/et adhésion ou/et champ magnétique ou électrostatique, de résistance axiale inférieure à l'effort de chassage, pour autoriser l'extraction facile de cette structure amovible 70 après chassage de chaque canon 6, et pour son extraction de l'ensemble cadran 10 assemblé, lors de son insertion dans une pièce d'horlogerie. En effet, la fixation par canons selon l'invention se prête bien au cas où le décor est un tel objet souple ou fragile, pour peu qu'on puisse cacher deux canons. Il suffit de solidariser les deux canons avec la structure amovible 70 d'assemblage, par exemple un carton ou un film plastique comportant l'entraxe exact des canons, de façon légère, par exemple avec un adhésif assez faible, juste suffisant pour permettre, dans l'exemple de la figure 11, la manutention de l'ensemble 70+7+6+6, de positionner les canons 6 en place sur leurs axes 4, de les chasser. Comme la fixation adhésive est prévue inférieure à l'effort de chassage, il suffit de tirer sur la structure amovible 70 pour l'éliminer, le décor 7 étant fixé directement aux canons 6.In another variant, and as illustrated by the Figure 11 , when the offset decoration 7 is too fragile or too flexible, such as a feather, a thread, a garland, a suspended mobile, or a decorative element suspended from a thread, or even a thin decoration in crystal or sapphire, or other, the dial assembly 10 comprises a removable structure 70 adapted to such an offset element 7 comprising at least one barrel 6, for example riveted, or even driven, to such a barrel 6. This removable structure 70 is more rigid than the offset element 7, and is arranged to allow the positioning of each barrel 6 which comprises the offset element 7, and its maintenance during a driving operation of each barrel 6 on its respective foot 4. This removable structure 70 comprises holding means on each barrel 6, by friction or/and adhesion or/and magnetic or electrostatic field, of axial resistance lower than the driving force, to allow easy extraction of this removable structure 70 after driving out each barrel 6, and for its extraction from the assembled dial assembly 10, during its insertion into a timepiece. Indeed, the fixation by cannons according to the invention lends itself well to the case where the decoration is such a flexible or fragile object, as long as two cannons can be hidden. It is enough to secure the two barrels with the removable assembly structure 70, for example a cardboard or a plastic film having the exact spacing of the barrels, in a light manner, for example with a fairly weak adhesive, just sufficient to allow, in the example of the Figure 11 , handling the assembly 70+7+6+6, positioning the guns 6 in place on their axes 4, driving them out. As the adhesive fixation is planned to be less than the driving force, it is sufficient to pull on the removable structure 70 to eliminate it, the decoration 7 being fixed directly to the barrels 6.

Par exemple la structure amovible 70 peut être constituée d'un film rigide en matière plastique, notamment transparente pour faciliter le positionnement des canons, d'un grillage, d'une feuille de carton ou de papier fort, ou similaire.For example, the removable structure 70 may consist of a rigid film of plastic material, in particular transparent to facilitate the positioning of the guns, of a fence, of a sheet of cardboard or strong paper, or the like.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, l'ensemble cadran 10 comporte un posage amovible 20, qui est agencé pour être utilisé pour le chassage de tous les canons 6 que comporte cet ensemble cadran 10. Ce posage ne sert qu'à cette opération, et est extrait de l'ensemble cadran 10 assemblé, lors de l'insertion du cadran dans une pièce d'horlogerie. Ce posage amovible 20 comporte, face à un appui inférieur 49 que comporte chaque pied 4, un plot d'appui 29 pour coopérer en appui de butée avec cet appui inférieur 49.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the dial assembly 10 comprises a removable installation 20, which is arranged to be used for driving of all the guns 6 that this dial assembly 10 includes. This installation is only used for this operation, and is extracted from the assembled dial assembly 10, when the dial is inserted into a timepiece. This removable support 20 comprises, facing a lower support 49 which each foot 4 has, a support pad 29 to cooperate in abutment support with this lower support 49.

De préférence, l'ensemble cadran 10 comporte, au niveau de sa plaque de base 1, au moins un pied de cadran 5, et le posage amovible 20 comporte un alésage de positionnement 25 pour la réception à jeu minimal de chaque tel pied de cadran 5.Preferably, the dial assembly 10 comprises, at the level of its base plate 1, at least one dial foot 5, and the removable mounting 20 comprises a positioning bore 25 for receiving each such dial foot with minimal clearance. 5.

La figure 7 illustre la mise en coopération de la plaque de base 1, équipée de ses pieds 4 et pieds de cadran 5, et du posage amovible 20, avec alignement d'un alésage 25 de ce posage 20 avec un pied de cadran 5, et d'un pied 4 avec un plot d'appui 29 de ce posage 20, tandis qu'en partie supérieure un élément de décor déporté 7 muni de son canon 6 est prédisposé aligné avec le même pied 4, prêt à être chassé.There Figure 7 illustrates the cooperation of the base plate 1, equipped with its feet 4 and dial feet 5, and the removable support 20, with alignment of a bore 25 of this support 20 with a dial foot 5, and a foot 4 with a support pad 29 of this installation 20, while in the upper part an offset decorative element 7 provided with its barrel 6 is predisposed aligned with the same foot 4, ready to be driven out.

La figure 12 illustre une variante du posage amovible 20, qui comporte des moyens de guidage d'au moins un piston supérieur 30 mobile selon la direction axiale des pieds 4, et qui est agencé pour exercer un effort de poussée simultané sur tous les appuis supérieurs 69 des canons 6 d'un même élément déporté 7, pour leur chassage sur leurs pieds 4 respectifs. Plus particulièrement, ce piston supérieur 30 est agencé pour exercer un effort de poussée simultané sur tous les appuis supérieurs 69 de tous les canons 6 de tous les éléments déportés 7 que comporte l'ensemble cadran 10, pour leur chassage sur leurs pieds 4 respectifs.There Figure 12 illustrates a variant of the removable installation 20, which comprises means for guiding at least one upper piston 30 movable in the axial direction of the feet 4, and which is arranged to exert a simultaneous thrust force on all the upper supports 69 of the cannons 6 of the same offset element 7, for their driving on their respective feet 4. More particularly, this upper piston 30 is arranged to exert a simultaneous thrust force on all the upper supports 69 of all the barrels 6 of all the offset elements 7 that the dial assembly 10 comprises, for their driving onto their respective feet 4.

L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie 100 comportant au moins un tel ensemble cadran 10. Plus particulièrement, cette pièce d'horlogerie 100 est une montre.The invention also relates to a timepiece 100 comprising at least one such dial assembly 10. More particularly, this timepiece 100 is a watch.
