Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking and more particularly to a timepiece comprising a device for fixing a dial of the conventional type or of the type comprising a solar cell.
  • the document JP 2013 096818 A discloses a timepiece according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a dial of a timepiece comprises on the side of the lower face, that is to say on the side of the movement, metal feet arranged to be partially driven into holes machined in the plate of the movement. . These metal feet serve in particular to hold the dial in place with respect to the movement of the watch during assembly of the latter.
  • Fixing the dial in the movement plate according to the aforementioned method has the disadvantage of involving relatively complex machining operations, the dial having to be drilled several times with precision before mounting the metal feet.
  • the use of such dials in watches of the skeleton type proves, moreover, to be unattractive.
  • an object of the invention is to overcome the various aforementioned drawbacks. More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide a timepiece comprising a dial fixing device which is simple to implement and which ensures good maintenance of the dial while guaranteeing mechanical resistance, in particular in the event of shocks along the axis of the needles.
  • the retaining member is arranged/disposed/located between the retaining tube, and the dial and/or a dial support while resting against a part of the dial adjacent to the central opening of the dial and/or against the dial support.
  • the retaining member is configured to bear or to exert an axial stress distributed either on an annular zone of the dial which is adjacent and concentric with the central opening of the dial, or on an annular zone of the dial support .
  • the part of the dial adjacent to the central opening of the dial defines an annular zone, preferably recessed with respect to the surface of the dial, so that a surface of the upper part of the tube of hold is at the same level as the dial.
  • the holding tube comprises a first cylindrical part having a first diameter and a second cylindrical part having a second diameter less than the first diameter.
  • the retaining member is a washer arranged on the circumference of the second cylindrical part and resting against the annular zone of the dial or against the dial support so as to exert an axial force on the dial or the dial support.
  • the retaining member is an elastic ring, preferably of the circlip type, arranged inside a groove made on at least part of the outer circumference of the retaining tube so that the elastic ring bears against the annular zone of the dial or against the dial support.
  • the holding tube comprises, on the one hand, a first tube mechanically connected to the motor module and comprising a threaded part on its internal circumference, and on the other hand, a second tube in the form of a screw screwed into the threaded part of the first tube.
  • the screw has a radial extension to form a circular bearing surface.
  • the retaining member is in the form of a joint, preferably of the O-ring type, arranged against the circular support surface of the screw and the annular zone of the dial or the support the dial support so as to exert an axial force on the dial or the dial support.
  • the screw is embedded in the central opening of the dial.
  • the screw comprises a raised part with respect to the dial and which extends radially in order to cover the central opening of the dial.
  • the timepiece further comprises a movement support and a circuit support arranged between the dial support and the motor module.
  • the stacking of each support forms a rigid base preventing deformation of the dial in the event of an axial impact.
  • each support has a central opening to form a housing inside which is fitted, at least in part, the retaining tube.
  • the dial includes or consists of at least one solar cell.
  • the device for fixing a dial according to the invention described below can be put in work in mechanical or quartz watches comprising a dial of the conventional/classic type, that is to say a dial comprising, for example, indexes distributed at regular intervals around the peripheral of the dial, figures to represent the hours, for example in the form of appliques fixed on the dial and, depending on the caliber, one or more apertures to indicate, for example, the date or other information.
  • the device for fixing a dial according to the invention can also be implemented in watches comprising a dial of the non-conventional type.
  • the fixing device according to the invention is, for example, particularly well suited for fixing a dial comprising or consisting of a solar cell to power, for example, a battery and/or an electronic module of a so-called smart watch.
  • the dial fixing device 12 comprises a retaining tube 15 arranged around the hour barrel 14b and is mechanically connected to the motor module 10, for example by hooking and this via a radial extension 18.
  • this device fixing also comprises a retainer 20a to 20c.
  • This retainer 20a to 20c is an added piece.
  • Such a retaining member 20a to 20c is a part which is preferably flexible and/or deformable intended to be arranged between a second cylindrical part 15b of a retaining tube 15, and the dial 12 or the dial support 17 of the watch.
  • the timepiece comprises in particular a motor module 10, the dial 12 provided with a central opening 13, a floor 14a and an hour barrel 14b passing through the central opening 13 of dial 12 and driven in rotation by the motor module 10.
  • the dial 12 is fixed on a dial support 17 for example by means of a double-sided adhesive 30a.
  • the shape of the dial support 17 is substantially identical to the shape of the dial 12.
  • the dial support 17 is mounted on a movement support 26, which is fixed to a circuit support, preferably a printed circuit support 28, by example by means of a double-sided adhesive 30b.
  • the stack of different supports 17, 26, 28 form a rigid base on which the dial 12 rests, which has the advantage of avoiding deformation of the dial 12 in the event of an axial impact.
  • This rigid base is particularly well suited for a dial 12 formed in particular of a solar cell in order to avoid any breakage of the glass substrate of the cell in the event of a major axial impact.
  • the timepiece comprises the dial fixing device 12 comprising the retaining member 20a, the retaining tube 15 arranged around the hour barrel 14b and thus mechanically connected to the motor module 10.
  • the holding tube 15 comprises a first cylindrical part 15a having a first diameter D1 and a second cylindrical part 15b having a second diameter D2 smaller than the first diameter D1.
  • the first cylindrical part 15a is housed in a tubular portion formed by the stacking of the central openings of the dial support 17, of the movement support 26 and of the printed circuit support 28.
  • This retaining member 20a comprises a retaining washer 20a and is arranged on the circumference of the second cylindrical part 15b.
  • This retaining washer 20a extends radially so that its periphery bears against the dial support 17 in order to exert an axial force on the dial support 17.
  • One end of the first cylindrical part 15a comprises the extension radial 18, for example of annular shape, which is fixed or mechanically connected to a bridge 10a of the motor module 10.
  • the retainer 20b comprises an elastic ring 20b.
  • This elastic ring 20b is arranged inside a groove 22 made on the outer circumference of the retaining tube 15 so that the elastic ring 20b bears against the dial support 17.
  • the elastic ring can for example be of the circlip type in order to facilitate the dismantling of the fastening device.
  • the retaining tube 15 is housed in the tubular portion formed by the stacking of the various supports 17, 26, 28 in order to produce this rigid base suitable for a dial 12 comprising or consisting of a solar cell.
  • One end of the retaining tube 15 comprises the radial extension 18, for example of annular shape, which is fixed to a bridge 10a of the motor module 10.
  • the retaining tube 15 comprises a first tube 16a comprising, on the one hand, a radial extension fixed to a bridge 10a of the motor module 10, and on the other hand, a threaded portion on its inner circumference.
  • the first tube 16a is housed in the tubular portion formed by the stacking of the various supports 17, 26, 28 producing this rigid base.
  • the retaining tube 15 further comprises a second tube 16b in the form of a screw screwed into the threaded part of the first tube 16a.
  • the screw 16b has at one end a radial extension 24 in order to form a circular bearing surface 24a.
  • the retainer 20c comprises a seal 20c, for example of the O-ring type.
  • This seal 20c is arranged against the circular bearing surface 24a of the screw 16b and the dial support 17 so as to exert an axial force on the dial support 17.
  • the screw 16b is embedded in the central opening 13 of the dial 12.
  • the diameter of the radial extension 24 is preferably substantially identical to the diameter of the central opening 13 of the dial in order to have an advantageous aesthetic appearance.
  • the retaining member 20c of the fixing device comprises seal 20c which is arranged against the circular bearing surface 24a of the screw 16b and the dial support 17. Under these conditions the radial extension 24 forming a surface circular support 24a defined at the end of said screw 16b is then capable of directly exerting an axial force on the dial support 17 via the retainer 20c.
  • the dial fixing device comprises a holding tube of construction similar to the third embodiment except that the screw 16b comprises a raised part 32 with respect to the dial 12 which extends radially in order to cover the central opening 13 of the dial 12.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for a dial comprising or consisting of a solar cell since the raised part 32 has the advantage of hiding the cutting defects of the solar cell.
  • the retaining washer 20a according to the figure 1 , the circlip 20b according to picture 2 as well as the second tube 16b in the form of a screw screwed into the threaded part of the first tube 16a according to the figures 3 and 4 all have the advantage of preventing the needles from coming out in the event of a major axial impact.
  • the retaining tube 15 can be adapted to rest on or exert an axial stress not on the dial support 17 but directly on the dial 12 itself or even directly on both the dial support 17 and the dial 12.
  • the dial 12 can for example comprise a dial part adjacent to the central opening 13 of the dial against which the retaining member such as the retaining washer 20a, the circlip 20b or the seal 20c according to the embodiment chosen from those described above.
  • the part dial adjacent to the central opening 13 can define an annular area set back from the greater part of the surface of the dial so that a surface of the upper part of the support tube is at the same level as the dial.
  • the fixing device according to the invention has the advantage of making it possible to produce dials in different materials which are not compatible for the manufacture of foot dials. These dials can be obtained in particular by plastic, metal or glass injection processes.
