Description

Perfectionnement aux montres. La presente invention a pour objet un perfectionnement aux montres dans lesquelles le remontage est effectue par une lunette rotative tournant autour d'un axe parallele ä laxe de rotation des aiguilles. Improvement in watches. The subject of the present invention is an improvement to watches in which winding is effected by a rotating bezel rotating around an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the hands.

Dans certaines montres de ce genre, la lunette actionne soit directement, soit par mobiles intermediaires, 1e barillet du ressort; par consequent, des moyens speciaux, diffe- rents de la lunette, doivent etre prevus pour 1a remise ä l'heure. Dans d'autres montres du meme genre, la lunehe engrene avec un pignon cale sur une tige de remontoir dis posee para11element au cadran; Jans ce cas encore an doit prevoir des moyens speciaux de remise ä 1'heure. In some watches of this type, the bezel actuates either directly or by intermediate mobiles, the first barrel of the spring; consequently, special means, different from the bezel, must be provided for setting the time. In other watches of the same type, the moon meshes with a pinion wedged on a winding stem arranged parallel to the dial; In this case, again, special means of setting the time must be provided.

Le perfeetionnement selon Finvention a. pour but de permettre la remise ä 1'heure ä 1'aide de la lunette rotative de remontage. The improvement according to the invention a. intended to enable the time to be reset using the rotating winding bezel.

Le perfectionnement se caracterise en ce que la tige de remontage et de mise ä 1'heure est placee parallelement ä Faxe de rotation de la Innette, et en ce que cette lunette peut subir, en dehors de son mouvement de rota- tion, un mouvement de translation entrainant la tige de remontage. The improvement is characterized in that the winding and time-setting stem is placed parallel to the axis of rotation of the Innette, and in that this bezel can undergo, apart from its rotational movement, a movement of translation driving the winding stem.

Une montre ainsi perfectionnee ne pre- sente aucun organe apparent de remontage et de remise lä 1'heure; de plus, elle est facile- ment adaptable sur une saillie cylindrique d'un objet quelconque, et par exemple sur un stylographe, un Crayon, out autre. A watch thus improved has no visible winding and time-setting mechanism; moreover, it is easily adaptable to a cylindrical projection of any object, and for example to a fountain pen, a pencil, or the like.

Le dessin annexe represente, ä titre d'exemple seulement, une forme d'execution de Finvention montee sur un bouchon de stylographe. The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example only, an embodiment of the invention mounted on a fountain pen cap.

La fig.l est une elevation en coupe, dans la Position de remontage; La fig. 2 est une elevation en coupe, daiis la Position de mise ä 1'heure; La fig. 3 est une vue en plan et coup(@ selon la ligne III-III de 1a fig. 2; La fig. 4 est une elevation en coupe dune variante de la forme d'execution ci- dessus, en Position de remontage; La fig. 5 est une elevation en coupe de cette meme variante, en Position de remise ä Pheure; La fig. -6 est une vue en plan et coupe selon la ligne VI-VI de la fig. 5; La fig. 7 est une vue en elevation, ,ä plus petite khelle, de 1'ensemble de la montre plack sur un stylographe. Fig.l is a sectional elevation, in the reassembly position; fig. 2 is a sectional elevation from the Time Setting Position; fig. 3 is a plan and cut view(@ along the line III-III of fig. 2; fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a variant of the above embodiment, in the winding position; fig Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional elevation of this same variant, in the reset position; Fig. 6 is a plan view and section along the line VI-VI of Fig. 5; Fig. 7 is a view in elevation, , ä smallest khelle, of the whole of the watch placed on a fountain pen.

Dans toutes les figures du dessin, la montre est representee seulement par son boitier 1 avec son fond 2, et par la tige de remontage 3 terminee par 1e pignon 4, fixe sur cette tige par exemple par une vis 5. La nature du mouvement de la montre n'importe pas, en effet, jä 1'invention. In all the figures of the drawing, the watch is represented only by its case 1 with its back 2, and by the winding stem 3 terminated by the first pinion 4, fixed to this stem for example by a screw 5. The nature of the winding movement the watch does not matter, in fact, to the invention.

Une lunette 6 est montee sur 1e boitier 1 tourne cylindriquement, de manike ä poa- voir tourner sur ce boitier. Cette luuette 6 est solidarisk, par exemple, par des vis 7, avec une couronne 8, elle-meme centree sur une saillie cylindrique 9 appartenant ä, Pob- jet 10 sur lequel est montk la montre, cet objet kant par exemple un bouchon de stylo- graphe (fig. 7). La saillie 9 est alesk polar recevoir un teton 11 appartenant au Fond 2 du boitier, lequel est solidarise avec la pike 10 par exemple au moyen de vis 12. A bezel 6 is mounted on the case 1 rotates cylindrically, so as to be able to turn on this case. This uvula 6 is solidarisk, for example, by screws 7, with a crown 8, itself centered on a cylindrical projection 9 belonging to the object 10 on which the watch is mounted, this object kant for example a cap of pen (fig. 7). The projection 9 is alesk polar receive a pin 11 belonging to the Bottom 2 of the case, which is secured with the pike 10 for example by means of screws 12.

Dans 1'exemple des fig.1 et 2, 1a cou- ronne 8 regoit, fixee par exemple par des vis 13, une roue dentee exterieurement 14 qui engrene exterieurement avec 1e pignon 4 (fig. 3). In the example of Figs. 1 and 2, crown 8 receives, fixed for example by screws 13, an externally toothed wheel 14 which meshes externally with pinion 4 (Fig. 3).

Dans 1'exemple des fig. 4 et 5, une roue dentk interieurement 15 est fixee entre la Innette 6 et la couronne 8, par exemple par les vis 7; la roue 15 engrene interieurement avec 1e pignon 4 (fig. 6). In the example of FIGS. 4 and 5, an internally toothed wheel 15 is fixed between the Innette 6 and the crown 8, for example by the screws 7; the wheel 15 meshes internally with the first pinion 4 (fig. 6).

Dans les deux exemples, la lunette 6 com- porte une collerette 16, circulaire, qui s'en- gage dans une gorge 17 de la tige de remon- toir 3, pour permettre de solidariser en trans- lation la lunette 6 et la tige de remontoir 3, tont en permettant la libre rotation de la lunette 6. In both examples, the bezel 6 includes a circular flange 16 which engages in a groove 17 of the winding stem 3, to allow the bezel 6 and the stem to be secured in translation. winding mechanism 3, while allowing free rotation of the bezel 6.

Dans une variante d'exkution, la lunette 6 comporte une collerette circulaire qui s'en- gage dans une gorge pratiquee ä la Peripherie du pignon 4 solidaire de la tige de remon- toir B. In a variant execution, the bezel 6 includes a circular collar which engages in a groove made on the periphery of the pinion 4 integral with the winding stem B.

L'entrainement en rotation de la tige de remontoir par la lunette peut etre obtenu par friction entre ces deux organes. The rotation of the winding stem by the bezel can be obtained by friction between these two organs.

Comme il est bien connu, la tige de re- montoir 3 peut occuper deux positions; l'une de remontage (fig. 1 et 4), 1'autre de remise ä 1'heure (fig. 2 et 5). Une description com- pl.ementaire.ä ce sujet est tont ä Fait inutile, ce dispositif etant b>ien connu de tont 1e monde @et n'entrant pas dans le cadre I> de 1'in- vention. As is well known, winding stem 3 can occupy two positions; one for winding (figs. 1 and 4), the other for setting the time (figs. 2 and 5). A further description of this subject is totally unnecessary, this device being well known to everyone in the world and not coming within the scope of the invention.

La lunette 6 comporte un recouvrement 18 qui ,s'adapte sur 1'objet 10 pour operer un centrage comptämentaire et surtout pour cacher aux yeux 1e jeu 19 de translation. The bezel 6 has a cover 18 which fits on the object 10 to operate a complementary centering and especially to hide the first game 19 of translation from the eyes.

Le fonetionnement est 1e suivant: <B>11</B> est clair que tonte rotation de la lu- netto 6 provoque la rotation de la tige de remontoir 3, et que tonte translation de la lunette 6 entra-ine en meme temps la tige de remontoir 3. The operation is as follows: <B>11</B> it is clear that any rotation of the bezel 6 causes the rotation of the winding stem 3, and that any translation of the bezel 6 causes at the same time the winding stem 3.

Dans la Position des fig. 1 et 4, la rota- tion de la lunette 6 permet 1e remontage. En tirant sur la lunette 6 dans 1e sens des f1eches f, an amene ladite lunette et la tige de remontoir 3 dans la Position des fig. 2. et 5, oü la rotation de la lunette permet la re- mise ä 1'heure. Une translation effectuee en sens inverse des flkhes f ramene Pensemble ä la Position de remontage. In the position of figs. 1 and 4, the rotation of bezel 6 enables winding. By pulling on the bezel 6 in the first direction of the arrows f, an brings said bezel and the winding stem 3 into the position of FIGS. 2. and 5, where the rotation of the bezel resets the time. A translation carried out in the opposite direction of the flkhes f brings the assembly back to the reassembly position.

Il est clair que la montre pourrait ne pas etre fixee sur 1'objet 10; dans ce cas, la cou- ronne 8 se centrerait directement sur 1e teton 11. Pour amener la lunette 6 @ä la Position de mise ä 1'heure, il suffirait de tenir la lunette et d'appuyer avec 1e doigt sur 1e teton 11 en sens inverse de la flkhe f; pour amener la lunette en Position de remontage, il suffirait de tenir cette lunette et d'appuyer sur 1e boitier dans 1e sens de la flkhe f. It is clear that the watch could not be fixed on the object 10; in this case, the crown 8 would be centered directly on the stud 11. To bring the bezel 6 to the time-setting position, it would suffice to hold the bezel and press the stud 11 with the finger. in the opposite direction of flkhe f; to bring the bezel into the winding position, it would suffice to hold this bezel and press the case in the first direction of arrow f.

I1 est evident aussi que la lunette pour- rait etre fixee ä Pobjet 10 et 1e boitier 1 libre de tourner et de se deplacer en trans- lation. Le fonctionnement dans ce cas serait tout à fait analogue à celui décrit déjà., comme on le comprend aisément. It is also obvious that the telescope could be fixed to the object 10 and the case 1 free to rotate and to move in translation. The operation in this case would be entirely analogous to that already described, as is easily understood.

La montre peut être fixée sur un objet quelconque: porte-plume stylographe, ou autre, crayon, étui pour fards, ou autres, bri quets, lampes électriques de poche, manches de parapluie, d'ombrelles ou de cannes, etc..., l'objet qui reçoit la montre étant en fait in dépendant de l'invention. The watch can be attached to any object: pen holder, fountain pen, or other, pencil, case for make-up, or other, lighters, electric pocket lamps, handles of umbrellas, parasols or walking sticks, etc... , the object receiving the watch being in fact independent of the invention.
