Definitions
- the present invention relates to a watch case whose assembly means are discrete or completely hidden, and a watch comprising it.
- the present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks, or at least to mitigate them, and proposes for this purpose a watch case according to claim 1 and a watch according to claim 11.
- a watch 1 according to a particular embodiment of the invention comprises a watch case 2 enclosing a device for measuring and displaying the time 3, and a bracelet 4 attached to the watch case. 2.
- the device for measuring and displaying the time 3 is typically a mechanical or electronic movement (not visible in the drawings) surmounted by a dial 5 above which the hourly display hands turn. 6 may nevertheless be replaced by other mobile indicator members such as rotary disks bearing indications and cooperating with windows of the dial 5.
- the present invention also applies to measuring devices and display of the fully electronic time.
- the watch case 2 comprises a bottom 7, a middle part 8, a bezel 9 and a mirror 10.
- the middle part 8 surrounds and carries the device for measuring and displaying the time 3.
- the bezel 9 carries the ice 10.
- the bottom 7 and the set ice-window 9, 10 respectively close the bottom and the upper side the housing in which is the device 3.
- a seal 11 seals between the bottom 7 and 8.
- Other joints are provided or may be provided for sealing between the middle part 8, the bezel 9 and the ice cream 10.
- the watch case 2 may have a shape that is not round, for example an oval shape as represented.
- the dial 5 is a large enamel dial, therefore fragile, fixed on the upper edge of the middle part 8 by screws. It is therefore important that the assembly mode of the watch case 2 can not cause damage to the dial 5 or the other components mounted in the watch case 2.
- the caseband 8 On each side of the watch case 2, at twelve o'clock and six o'clock, the caseband 8 carries on its circumference a central horn 12 separating two symmetrical clearances 13.
- the central horn 12 is pierced with a through hole 14 oriented parallel to the outside. axis three hours - nine hours, that is to say, parallel to the width of the bracelet 4.
- the central horn 12 has the shape of a T when the watch case 2 is viewed in profile along the axis twelve o'clock - six o'clock.
- the hole 14 is in the form of a whole cylinder in the central part 15 of the central horn 12 and in the form of a half-cylinder open downwards in the two lateral parts 16 of the central horn 12.
- Screws 17, the number of two in the example shown have their head which rests against the middle part 8, in the lateral parts 16 of the central horn 12, and extend vertically to be screwed into threads of the bezel 9 , thus solidarisant the middle part 8 and the telescope 9.
- the bottom 7 has two lateral horns 18 which are placed on either side of the central horn 12 of the middle part 8, in the recesses 13.
- These lateral horns 18 have the shape of an L when the watch case 2 is viewed in profile along the axis twelve hours - six hours. They are each pierced by a through hole 19, a portion 20, which extends the hole 14 of the central horn 12, is in the form of a whole cylinder and the other part 21 is in the form of a half -cylinder which completes one of the half-cylinder parts of the hole 14 of the central horn 12.
- the central horn 12 and the side horns 18 thus have complementary shapes giving the assembly 12, 18 a rectangular shape in the view profile above.
- central horn 12 and the lateral horns 18 are assembled by means of a tube 22 threaded into the holes 14, 19.
- This tube 22 therefore passes through the central horn 12 and its ends are located respectively in the lateral horns 18.
- central tube 22 has a deformation which defines a groove 23 in the outer surface of the tube 22 and a bulge 24 in its inner surface.
- An elastic element 25 inserted in a groove 26 of the central part 15 of the central horn 12 cooperates with the groove 23 and with the groove 26 to position and hold the tube 22 in the horns 12, 18.
- a narrowing of the hole 19 in the one of the two lateral horns 18 forms an axial stop 27 for the tube 22.
- the elastic element 25 In the state of rest, the elastic element 25 is in the form of a helical turn, as visible in FIG. figure 3 . Its inside diameter is smaller than the outside diameter of the tube 22. When introduced into the groove 26, the small width of the latter forces the elastic element 25 to take a substantially flat annular shape, which holds it in place. The tube 22 can then be threaded into the horns 12, 18 and through the elastic element 25 by radially locking the elastic element 25, until the elastic element 25 meets the groove 23 and can relax there while remaining locked in the axial direction of the tube 22 by the bleeding 26.
- the assembly formed by the central horn 12 and the lateral horns 18 is received in a notch 28 of corresponding shape formed in one end 29 of the bracelet 4.
- This end 29 has, on both sides of the notch 28, transverse holes 30 aligned with the holes 14, 19 of the horns 12, 18.
- a pin 31 is threaded into these aligned holes 30, 14, 19 and in the tube 22 to attach the end 29 of the strap 4 to the watch case 2 This pin 31 therefore crosses the tube 22 and its ends are located respectively in the holes 30 of the bracelet 4.
- the pin is threaded into the tube 22 by force, in the direction (from right to left at the figure 5 ) where the tube 22 is blocked by the stop 27, until a groove 32 of the pin 31 arrives at the bulge 24 and cooperates with it to position and hold the pin 31 in the tube 22.
- the bracelet 4 is a flexible bracelet leather, rubber or other, but it could be a bracelet articulated to links, metal or other. It could also be a flexible bracelet with a link of attachment to the watch case 2, this link constituting all or part of the end 29.
- the assembly device of the watch case 2 has been described above for only one side of the watch case 2, at twelve or six o'clock. It is of course identical on the other side. It is the same for the attachment device of the bracelet 4 to the watch case 2.
- the present invention has several advantages.
- the assembly of the caseband 8 and the base 7 by the horns 12, 18, the tube 22 and the elastic element 25 is simple to implement and does not require strongly pressing the middle part 8 and the base 7 the one against the other.
- the assembly of the middle part 8 and the bezel 9 by means of the screws 17 prevents the dial 5 from undergoing too much pressure, which allows the use of a large decorated dial.
- the assembly means that are the horns 12, 18, the tube 22 and the elastic member 25 are also discrete since they merge with the fastening means of the bracelet 4 to the watch case 2.
- the screws 17 which realize the assembly of the middle part 8 and the bezel 9 are hidden by the tube 22 which itself is hidden by the horns 12, 18 and the bracelet 4. The set therefore meets strict aesthetic requirements.
- it is robust, in particular the watch case 2 is assembled regardless of the presence or not of the bracelet 4 and the pin 31.
- the present invention has been described above by way of example only. It goes without saying that modifications could be made without departing from the scope of the claimed invention.
- the tube 22 could be maintained in the horns 12, 18 otherwise, for example by a circlip or by hunting.
- the horns 12, 18 could have a different shape than the one represented and be in a different number.
- the bezel 9 and the middle 8 could be assembled by cooperation of a thread of the bezel 9 with a thread of the middle part 8.
- caseband 8 and the bezel 9 could also assemble the caseband 8 and the bezel 9 by a device similar to that comprising the horns 12, 18, the tube 22 and the elastic element 25 and secure the bottom 7 to the middle part 8 by hidden screws or by cooperation between a thread of the bottom 7 and a thread of the middle part 8.
- the caseband 8 and the bezel 9 could be in one piece.
- the bottom 7 and the middle part 8 could be in one piece.

Description
La présente invention concerne une boîte de montre dont les moyens d'assemblage sont discrets voire complètement cachés, ainsi qu'une montre la comprenant.The present invention relates to a watch case whose assembly means are discrete or completely hidden, and a watch comprising it.
Pour des raisons esthétiques, il est avantageux d'assembler le fond, la carrure et la lunette des boîtes de montre avec des moyens qui ne sont pas visibles de l'extérieur de la montre.For aesthetic reasons, it is advantageous to assemble the bottom, the middle and the bezel of the watch cases with means that are not visible from outside the watch.
Il est notamment connu de chasser ou de clipser le fond et la lunette à la carrure. Ces modes d'assemblage nécessitent de presser assez fortement les éléments de la boîte les uns contre les autres pendant l'assemblage, ce qui peut causer des dommages à l'intérieur de la boîte, notamment au niveau du cadran, surtout si ce dernier est de grande taille.It is particularly known to hunt or clip the bottom and the bezel to the middle part. These assembly methods require the elements of the box to be squeezed strongly enough against each other during assembly, which can cause damage to the inside of the box, especially at the level of the dial, especially if it is large size.
D'autres boîtes de montre sont connues dans lesquelles le fond et la lunette sont vissés sur la carrure, c'est-à -dire comportent un filetage qui coopère avec un filetage de la carrure. Ce mode d'assemblage n'est applicable qu'à des boîtes de forme ronde.Other watch cases are known in which the bottom and the bezel are screwed to the middle part, that is to say have a thread that cooperates with a thread of the middle part. This method of assembly is only applicable to round boxes.
La présente invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients susmentionnés, ou au moins à les atténuer, et propose à cette fin une boîte de montre selon la revendication 1 et une montre selon la revendication 11.The present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks, or at least to mitigate them, and proposes for this purpose a watch case according to

Dans la suite de cette description, les termes « haut », « bas », « supérieur », « inférieur » et « vertical » se rapporteront à l'orientation de la montre telle qu'elle est montrée sur les dessins.In the remainder of this description, the terms "up", "down", "upper", "lower" and "vertical" will refer to the orientation of the watch as shown in the drawings.
En référence aux figures annexées, une montre 1 selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention comprend une boîte de montre 2 renfermant un dispositif de mesure et d'affichage de l'heure 3, et un bracelet 4 attaché à la boîte de montre 2.With reference to the appended figures, a
Le dispositif de mesure et d'affichage de l'heure 3 est typiquement un mouvement mécanique ou électronique (non visible sur les dessins) surmonté d'un cadran 5 au-dessus duquel tournent des aiguilles d'affichage horaire 6. Les aiguilles d'affichage horaire 6 pourraient néanmoins être remplacées par d'autres organes indicateurs mobiles tels que des disques rotatifs portant des indications et coopérant avec des guichets du cadran 5. La présente invention s'applique aussi à des dispositifs de mesure et d'affichage de l'heure entièrement électroniques.The device for measuring and displaying the
De manière classique en soi, la boîte de montre 2 comprend un fond 7, une carrure 8, une lunette 9 et une glace 10. La carrure 8 entoure et porte le dispositif de mesure et d'affichage de l'heure 3. La lunette 9 porte la glace 10. Le fond 7 et l'ensemble lunette-glace 9, 10 ferment respectivement du côté inférieur et du côté supérieur le logement dans lequel se trouve le dispositif 3. Un joint 11 assure l'étanchéité entre le fond 7 et la carrure 8. D'autres joints (non représentés) sont prévus ou peuvent être prévus pour assurer l'étanchéité entre la carrure 8, la lunette 9 et la glace 10. La boîte de montre 2 peut avoir une forme qui n'est pas ronde, par exemple une forme ovale comme representé.In a conventional manner, the
Dans une application particulière de l'invention, le cadran 5 est un grand cadran en émail, donc fragile, fixé sur le bord supérieur de la carrure 8 par des vis. Il importe dès lors que le mode d'assemblage de la boîte de montre 2 ne puisse pas causer de dommages au cadran 5 ni aux autres composants montés dans la boîte de montre 2.In a particular application of the invention, the
De chaque côté de la boîte de montre 2, à douze heures et six heures, la carrure 8 porte sur son pourtour une corne centrale 12 séparant deux dégagements symétriques 13. La corne centrale 12 est percée d'un trou traversant 14 orienté parallèlement à l'axe trois heures - neuf heures, c'est-à -dire parallèlement à la largeur du bracelet 4. Dans l'exemple illustré, la corne centrale 12 présente la forme d'un T lorsque la boîte de montre 2 est vue de profil selon l'axe douze heures - six heures. Le trou 14 est sous la forme d'un cylindre entier dans la partie centrale 15 de la corne centrale 12 et sous la forme d'un demi-cylindre ouvert vers le bas dans les deux parties latérales 16 de la corne centrale 12. Des vis 17, au nombre de deux dans l'exemple illustré, ont leur tête qui s'appuie contre la carrure 8, dans les parties latérales 16 de la corne centrale 12, et s'étendent verticalement pour être vissées dans des taraudages de la lunette 9, solidarisant ainsi la carrure 8 et la lunette 9.On each side of the
Egalement de chaque côté de la boîte de montre 2, à douze heures et six heures, le fond 7 présente deux cornes latérales 18 qui se placent de part et d'autre de la corne centrale 12 de la carrure 8, dans les dégagements 13. Ces cornes latérales 18 ont la forme d'un L lorsque la boîte de montre 2 est vue de profil selon l'axe douze heures - six heures. Elles sont chacune percées d'un trou traversant 19 dont une partie 20, qui prolonge le trou 14 de la corne centrale 12, est sous la forme d'un cylindre entier et dont l'autre partie 21 est sous la forme d'un demi-cylindre qui complète l'une des parties en demi-cylindre du trou 14 de la corne centrale 12. La corne centrale 12 et les cornes latérales 18 ont ainsi des formes complémentaires donnant à l'ensemble 12, 18 une forme rectangulaire dans la vue de profil précitée.Also on each side of the
La corne centrale 12 et les cornes latérales 18 sont assemblées au moyen d'un tube 22 enfilé dans les trous 14, 19. Ce tube 22 traverse donc la corne centrale 12 et ses extrémités sont situées respectivement dans les cornes latérales 18. Dans sa partie centrale le tube 22 présente une déformation qui définit une gorge 23 dans la surface extérieure du tube 22 et un renflement 24 dans sa surface intérieure. Un élément élastique 25 inséré dans une saignée 26 de la partie centrale 15 de la corne centrale 12 coopère avec la gorge 23 et avec la saignée 26 pour positionner et maintenir le tube 22 dans les cornes 12, 18. Un rétrécissement du trou 19 dans l'une des deux cornes latérales 18 forme une butée axiale 27 pour le tube 22.The
A l'état de repos, l'élément élastique 25 a la forme d'une spire d'hélice, comme visible à la
L'ensemble formé par la corne centrale 12 et les cornes latérales 18 est reçu dans une échancrure 28 de forme correspondante pratiquée dans une extrémité 29 du bracelet 4. Cette extrémité 29 présente, de part et d'autre de l'échancrure 28, des trous transversaux 30 alignés avec les trous 14, 19 des cornes 12, 18. Une goupille 31 est enfilée dans ces trous alignés 30, 14, 19 et dans le tube 22 pour attacher l'extrémité 29 du bracelet 4 à la boîte de montre 2. Cette goupille 31 traverse donc le tube 22 et ses extrémités sont situées respectivement dans les trous 30 du bracelet 4. L'enfilement de la goupille 31 dans le tube 22 s'effectue à force, dans la direction (de droite à gauche à la
Le dispositif d'assemblage de la boîte de montre 2 a été décrit ci-dessus pour un seul côté de la boîte de montre 2, à douze heures ou six heures. Il est bien entendu identique de l'autre côté. Il en va de même du dispositif d'attache du bracelet 4 à la boîte de montre 2.The assembly device of the
La présente invention présente plusieurs avantages. L'assemblage de la carrure 8 et du fond 7 par les cornes 12, 18, le tube 22 et l'élément élastique 25 est simple à mettre en oeuvre et n'exige pas de presser fortement la carrure 8 et le fond 7 l'un contre l'autre. De même, l'assemblage de la carrure 8 et de la lunette 9 au moyen des vis 17 évite au cadran 5 de subir de trop fortes pressions, ce qui permet d'utiliser un grand cadran décoré. Les moyens d'assemblage que sont les cornes 12, 18, le tube 22 et l'élément élastique 25 sont en outre discrets puisqu'ils se confondent avec les moyens d'attache du bracelet 4 à la boîte de montre 2. Les vis 17 qui réalisent l'assemblage de la carrure 8 et de la lunette 9 sont cachées par le tube 22 qui lui-même est caché par les cornes 12, 18 et le bracelet 4. L'ensemble répond donc à de strictes exigences esthétiques. De plus il est robuste, en particulier la boîte de montre 2 est assemblée indépendamment de la présence ou non du bracelet 4 et de la goupille 31.The present invention has several advantages. The assembly of the
La présente invention a été décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple uniquement. Il va de soi que des modifications pourraient être faites sans sortir du cadre de l'invention revendiquée. Par exemple, bien que l'utilisation de l'élément élastique 25 soit particulièrement avantageuse en termes de simplicité de montage et démontage, le tube 22 pourrait être maintenu dans les cornes 12, 18 autrement, par exemple par un circlips ou par chassage. Les cornes 12, 18 pourraient avoir une autre forme que celle représentée et être en nombre différent. Dans le cas d'une boîte ronde, au lieu d'utiliser les vis 17, la lunette 9 et la carrure 8 pourraient être assemblées par coopération d'un filetage de la lunette 9 avec un filetage de la carrure 8. On pourrait aussi assembler la carrure 8 et la lunette 9 par un dispositif similaire à celui comprenant les cornes 12, 18, le tube 22 et l'élément élastique 25 et fixer le fond 7 à la carrure 8 par des vis cachées ou par coopération entre un filetage du fond 7 et un filetage de la carrure 8. Dans d'autres variantes, la carrure 8 et la lunette 9 pourraient être en une seule pièce. Alternativement, le fond 7 et la carrure 8 pourraient être en une seule pièce.The present invention has been described above by way of example only. It goes without saying that modifications could be made without departing from the scope of the claimed invention. For example, although the use of the
