Abstract

The front glass is for all types of watches and clocks based on the use of linear lines arranged in a decorative manner which may also help in reading the time. The lines (16) may be cut into the rear face of the glass (5) or consist of metal wires buried in the glass thickness or glued to the glass and preferably a precious metal. Alternatively there may be fine channels in the thickness of the glass and may contain wire or coloured liquids to create the desired effect. The pattern may be typically a grid or a radial design.

Description

La présente invention concerne les produits industriels nouveaux constitués par des instruments d'horlogerie munis d'un verre comportant des tracés linéaires. The present invention relates to new industrial products made up of timepieces provided with a glass having linear traces.

Les instruments d'horlogerie traditionnels (montres, chronomètres, pendules, pendulettes, réveils etc..) comportent au-dessus de leur Ca- dran un verre transparent destiné à assurer la protection du mouvement et du cadran et la lecture par transparence de l'heure matérialisée par la position des aiguilles par rapport audit cadran. Traditional horological instruments (watches, stopwatches, pendulums, clocks, alarm clocks, etc.) have a transparent glass above their display to protect the movement and the dial and the transparent reading of the hour materialized by the position of the hands relative to said dial.

Le but de la présente invention est de munir la montre de moyens permettant la création d'effets décoratifs tout en facilitant la lecture de l'heure , ces moyens consistant à disposer un verre muni de tracés linéaires. The object of the present invention is to provide the watch with means allowing the creation of decorative effects while facilitating the reading of the time, these means consisting in placing a glass provided with linear traces.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux les tracés linéaires sont matérialisés par des fils inclus dans l'épaisseur du verre. According to an advantageous embodiment, the linear traces are materialized by wires included in the thickness of the glass.

Selon une variante de réalisation, les fils sont collés en sous-face. According to an alternative embodiment, the wires are glued on the underside.

Selon un mode préférentiel de reålisation les fils sont en métaux précieux. According to a preferred embodiment, the wires are made of precious metals.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les tracés linéaires sont matérialisés par des traits gravés dans le verre. According to another embodiment, the linear traces are materialized by lines engraved in the glass.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les tracés sont matérialisés par des tubes perçés dans l'épaisseur du verre qui en variante peuvent être vides ou comporter des fils de toutes natures ou des liquides colorés ou non. According to another embodiment, the traces are materialized by tubes drilled in the thickness of the glass which, as a variant, can be empty or include wires of all kinds or liquids colored or not.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation les tracés sont disposés selon un quadrillage. According to another embodiment, the plots are arranged in a grid.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation les fils sont disposés en rayons. According to another embodiment, the wires are arranged in spokes.

La description qui va suivre d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention sera faite en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel. The following description of an embodiment of the invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawing in which.

La figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une montre conforme à l'invention. Figure 1 is a top view of a watch according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue de profil de la montre représentée à la figure 1. FIG. 2 is a side view of the watch shown in FIG. 1.

La montre représentée sur les figures comporte un boîtier 1 contenant le mecanisme de mesure du temps non représenté, un cadran 2 et des aiguilles 3. Sur le côté du boîtier est disposé un bouton 4 d'entraînement du remontoir.Le boîtier est fermé à sa partie supérieure par un verre 5. The watch shown in the figures comprises a case 1 containing the time-measuring mechanism not shown, a dial 2 and hands 3. On the side of the case is arranged a button 4 for winding the watch. The case is closed at its upper part with a glass 5.

Le verre comporte des inclusions de fils disposés dans la masse selon un quadrillage.De préférence les fils sont en métaux précieux tels que l'or ou l'argent. The glass has wire inclusions arranged in the mass according to a grid. Preferably the wires are made of precious metals such as gold or silver.

L'utilisation de fils inclus dans le verre permet de varier à l'infini les combinaisons de tracés pour l'obtention d'effets esthétiques originaux. The use of wires included in the glass allows infinite variation in the combinations of lines to obtain original aesthetic effects.

D'autre part, elle permet d'utiliser le verre de montre lui meme comme support des signes habituellement portés par le cadran pour la-lecture de l'heure.  On the other hand, it allows the watch glass itself to be used as a support for the signs usually worn by the dial for reading the time.
