Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch capable of being attached to a part of the body by at least one link, a watch comprising a case, time display means controlled by an electronic circuit, a power supply battery and a lateral opening made in this housing, said opening giving access to a housing in which the battery can be engaged.
  • the watch of the invention is characterized in that the battery is carried by a drawer of which one of the ends of the link is secured, locking means keeping the drawer attached to the housing when said drawer is introduced into said housing.
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a wristwatch comprising on the one hand a housing 1 attached to a first strand 2 of the bracelet.
  • the wristwatch further comprises a power battery 5 housed, according to the invention, in a drawer 6, which drawer is attached to a second strand 7 of the bracelet.
  • the battery 5 and the drawer 6 which carries it can be inserted, according to the invention and in the direction of the arrow 8, into a housing 9 (see FIG. 2) through an opening 10 made in the housing.
  • Locking means summarily symbolized in FIG. 1 by elements 11, keep the drawer 6 attached to the housing 1, when the drawer is inserted into the housing 9.
  • the invention is not limited to a wristwatch as shown in FIG. 1. It can be extended to any watch capable of being attached to the body by at least one link, as would be the case for example of a watch pendant. In the latter case, only the strand 7 remains, attached by one of its ends to the drawer 6 and by the other of its ends to the neck of the wearer.
  • the drawer may be a ring which completely surrounds the stack 5. To save space, however, the construction shown in FIG. 1 will be preferred.
  • the drawer is constituted by a portion 12 comprising a projection 13 to which is attached so articulated, the strand 7 of the bracelet.
  • the drawer 6 has a bottom 14 and flanges 15, 16 and 17 on which the stack 5 rests.
  • the flanges 16 and 17 have ends 18 and 19 arranged beyond the diameter of the stack, so as to retain the latter in the drawer when you extract this drawer from its housing.
  • FIG. 2 is a section of the back part of the watch if it is assumed that the drawer 6 is placed in its housing 9.
  • the case here consists of a bottom 20 and an upper part or middle part 21.
  • the drawer 6 and its adjoining bottom 14 can be introduced through an opening 10 made in the bottom 20.
  • the strand 7 of the bracelet is attached to the drawer by the articulation 13.
  • FIG. 2 also shows, in its upper part 21, hands 3 and 4 for displaying the hour and the minute.
  • These needles are driven by a mechanism 22 comprising a gear train controlled by a stepping motor.
  • the system is generally supplemented by an electronic circuit 23 comprising a time base, a frequency divider and a driver.
  • the connections connecting this circuit to the battery 5 are shown by the references 24 and 25.
  • the locking system 11 keeps the drawer in the housing.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlargement of the region 11 shown in FIG. 2.
  • the lock comprises a pusher 26 sliding in a tube 27 anchored or forced into the drawer 6
  • the pusher 26 comprises a head 28 which emerges from the tube 27 under the action of a spring 29.
  • the head 28 of the pusher enters a hole 30 made in the bottom 20 and thus blocks the drawer in the housing.
  • a thrust is exerted according to arrow 31 on the head 28 while simultaneously pulling on the strand 7, itself attached to the articulation 13 of the drawer.
  • the pusher 26 retracts into the tube by the combined action of the head 28 and a ramp 32 with which the bottom 20 is fitted, until the head 28 is located to the right of the hole 30 into which it enters.
  • the locking of the drawer 6 comprises at least one pusher 26.
  • An advantageous system may consist in using the buckle attached to the end of the strand 2 of the bracelet and this in the manner shown in FIG. 4.
  • the articulated buckle 35 serving as an ordinary clasp carries two asperities 36 and 37 formed in extension of the branches of the loop. Yes the spacing of these roughnesses corresponds to the spacing existing between the heads 28 of the locking system, it is possible to use the loop as an unlocking key by pushing said roughnesses into the holes 30 to retract the heads 28 in the drawer and release thus said drawer of the housing.
  • the drawer system proposed because it can be removed from the case by simply pulling on the strand of the bracelet to which it is attached, greatly facilitates the change of the battery by the wearer of the watch in person. This is particularly advantageous in the case where this battery has to be exchanged frequently, for example in the case of a battery supplying the radiofrequency part of a watch intended to receive radio messages.
  • a watch intended to receive radio messages is described in document EP-A-0 339 482 (US-A-4 884 252). It has been indicated in this document that the receiving antenna is a coil surrounding the movement, the axis of this coil being preferably arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet.
  • the innovation provided by the present invention therefore provides a useful complement to the watch of the cited document since it allows the battery to be placed inside the coil while being able to extract this battery along the axis of the coil, this axis coinciding with the longitudinal direction of the bracelet.
