La présente invention a pour objet une boîte de montrebracelet munie d'une grille située sur la glace. The present invention relates to a wristwatch box provided with a grid located on the ice.

De telles boîtes de montres-bracelets sont connues en soi. Such wristwatch boxes are known per se.

La grille peut soit servir à la protection de la glace, dans le cas de montres de sport, par exemple, soit constituer un simple élément décoratif. The grid can either be used to protect the crystal, in the case of sports watches, for example, or be a simple decorative element.

Le but de la présente invention est de simplifier la construction d'une boîte de montre-bracelet de ce type. The object of the present invention is to simplify the construction of a wristwatch box of this type.

Ce but est atteint grâce aux moyens définis dans la revendication 1. This object is achieved by the means defined in claim 1.

Le dessin représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'objet de l'invention. The drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the subject of the invention.

La fig. I est une vue en plan d'une montre-bracelet, et la fig. 2 est une coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la fig. 1. Fig. I is a plan view of a wristwatch, and fig. 2 is a section along line II-II of FIG. 1.

La montre-bracelet représentée comprend un mouvement 1, muni d'un cadran 2, logé dans une boîte comprenant une carrure intérieure 3, formant porte-mouvement, et une carrure extérieure 4 présentant deux saillies 4a, diamétralement opposées, auxquelles sont soudés les charnons 5 d'une charnière servant à la fixation d'un bracelet désigné d'une fa çon générale par 6. La boîte de la montre comprend en outre un fond 7, une lunette de glace 8 et une glace 9, en forme de planche, de préférence en matière extra-dure, ainsi qu'une grille formée de quatre tiges 10 disposées en carré, située sur la glace 9. Des garnitures d'étanchéité 11, 12 et 13 sont interposées entre la glace 9 et la lunette 8, entre cette dernière et la carrure intérieure 3 et entre cette dernière et le fond 7, respectivement. The wristwatch shown comprises a movement 1, provided with a dial 2, housed in a box comprising an inner middle part 3, forming a movement holder, and an outer middle part 4 having two diametrically opposite projections 4a, to which the knuckles are welded. 5 of hinge used to attach a bracelet designated in a fa general lesson by 6. The watch case also includes a bottom 7, a lens 8 and a lens 9, in the form of board, preferably in extra hard material, as well as a grid formed by four rods 10 arranged in a square, located on the crystal 9. Sealing gaskets 11, 12 and 13 are interposed between the crystal 9 and the bezel 8, between the latter and the inner middle part 3 and between the latter and the bottom 7, respectively.

Les quatre tiges 10 constituant la grille ont leurs extrémi tés repliées à angle droit se terminant par une partie 10a, filetée sur la plus grande partie de sa longueur, formant pied. La liaison entre les parties 10a et le reste des tiges 10 est assurée par des parties arrondies 10b qui prennent appui sur une surface convexe 14, de courbure correspondante, de la lunette 8. The four rods 10 constituting the grid have their ends folded at a right angle ending in a part 10a, threaded over most of its length, forming a foot. The connection between the parts 10a and the rest of the rods 10 is ensured by rounded parts 10b which bear on a convex surface 14, of corresponding curvature, of the bezel 8.

Les pieds 10a des tiges 10 de la grille traversent des oreilles 8a de la lunette de glace 8, la carrure extérieure 4 ainsi que le fond 7. Ces pieds 10a constituent des tirants d'assemblage des différents éléments de la boîte, le serrage, axial, étant assuré par huit écrous 15, dont un seul est visible au dessin (fig. 2) se vissant sur les parties filetées desdits pieds et qui sont noyés dans l'épaisseur du fond 7 et de la carrure extérieure 4. Ces écrous 15 présentent des creusures coniques 16 servant de prise à un outil permettant de les serrer ou de les desserrer. The feet 10a of the rods 10 of the grid pass through the ears 8a of the glass window 8, the outer middle part 4 as well as the bottom 7. These feet 10a constitute tie rods for assembling the various elements of the box, the tightening, axial , being provided by eight nuts 15, only one of which is visible in the drawing (fig. 2) screwing onto the threaded parts of said feet and which are embedded in the thickness of the base 7 and the outer middle part 4. These nuts 15 have conical recesses 16 serving as a grip for a tool making it possible to tighten or loosen them.

Ainsi, grâce à la présente construction, la présence d'une grille décorative ou de protection située sur la glace ne complique aucunement le montage de la boîte et le simplifie même puisque les pieds mêmes de ladite grille servent de tirants de serrage assurant l'assemblage des éléments de la boîte, remplaçant les vis utilisées à cette fin dans certaines constructions. Thus, thanks to the present construction, the presence of a decorative or protective grid located on the glass in no way complicates the mounting of the box and even simplifies it since the very feet of said grid serve as tightening ties ensuring the assembly elements of the box, replacing the screws used for this purpose in certain constructions.

Il est à remarquer que la forme des grilles pourra être très diverse. De même, selon la construction de la boîte, les pieds de la grille pourront servir à l'assemblage de certains éléments seulement de la boîte - fond et carrure, carrure et lunette de glace ou encore fond-carrure et lunette ou carrurelunette et fond - et non pas de l'ensemble des éléments constitutifs de la boîte, comme c'est le cas dans l'exemple décrit et représenté. It should be noted that the shape of the grids can be very diverse. Likewise, depending on the construction of the box, the feet of the grid may be used to assemble only certain elements of the box - case back and middle, case middle and bezel or even case back and case or case or case - and not of all of the components of the box, as is the case in the example described and shown.

Enfin, la grille pourra ne pas être constituée par des tiges rigides, mais par des câbles souples aux extrémités desquels seront fixés des parties terminales rigides, filetées, constituant les pieds de la grille jouant le rôle de tirants d'assemblage des éléments de la boîte. Finally, the grid may not consist of rigid rods, but by flexible cables at the ends of which will be fixed rigid, threaded end portions, constituting the feet of the grid playing the role of tie rods for assembling the elements of the box. .

The present invention relates to a wristwatch box provided with a grid located on the ice.

Such wristwatch boxes are known per se.

The grid can either be used to protect the crystal, in the case of sports watches, for example, or be a simple decorative element.

The object of the present invention is to simplify the construction of a wristwatch box of this type.

This object is achieved by the means defined in claim 1.

The drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the subject of the invention.

Fig. I is a plan view of a wristwatch, and fig. 2 is a section along line II-II of FIG. 1.

The wristwatch shown comprises a movement 1, provided with a dial 2, housed in a box comprising an inner middle part 3, forming a movement holder, and an outer middle part 4 having two diametrically opposite projections 4a, to which the knuckles are welded. 5 of hinge used to attach a bracelet designated in a fa general lesson by 6. The watch case also includes a bottom 7, a lens 8 and a lens 9, in the form of board, preferably in extra hard material, as well as a grid formed by four rods 10 arranged in a square, located on the crystal 9. Sealing gaskets 11, 12 and 13 are interposed between the crystal 9 and the bezel 8, between the latter and the inner middle part 3 and between the latter and the bottom 7, respectively.

The four rods 10 constituting the grid have their ends folded at a right angle ending in a part 10a, threaded over most of its length, forming a foot. The connection between the parts 10a and the rest of the rods 10 is ensured by rounded parts 10b which bear on a convex surface 14, of corresponding curvature, of the bezel 8.

The feet 10a of the rods 10 of the grid pass through the ears 8a of the glass window 8, the outer middle part 4 as well as the bottom 7. These feet 10a constitute tie rods for assembling the various elements of the box, the tightening, axial , being provided by eight nuts 15, only one of which is visible in the drawing (fig. 2) screwing onto the threaded parts of said feet and which are embedded in the thickness of the base 7 and the outer middle part 4. These nuts 15 have conical recesses 16 serving as a grip for a tool making it possible to tighten or loosen them.

Thus, thanks to the present construction, the presence of a decorative or protective grid located on the glass in no way complicates the mounting of the box and even simplifies it since the very feet of said grid serve as tightening ties ensuring the assembly elements of the box, replacing the screws used for this purpose in certain constructions.

It should be noted that the shape of the grids can be very diverse. Likewise, depending on the construction of the box, the feet of the grid may be used to assemble only certain elements of the box - case back and middle, case middle and bezel or even case back and case or case or case - and not of all of the components of the box, as is the case in the example described and shown.

Finally, the grid may not consist of rigid rods, but by flexible cables at the ends of which will be fixed rigid, threaded end portions, constituting the feet of the grid playing the role of tie rods for assembling the elements of the box. .
