Definitions

  • the present invention relates to watch cases, and it relates more particularly to the means for fixing a crystal engaged in a notch formed at the upper part of a component part of the case, of the type of the middle or of the bezel.
  • the glass is most often retained in its notch by means of a seal in which it is fitted tightly, the seal itself being driven into the notch.
  • the retention of the glass being ensured by the forces due to friction, joint on the glass and joint on the bezel or caseband, it will essentially depend on the height of the notch. This solution cannot therefore be advantageously implemented in very thin watch cases.
  • one of the objects of the invention is to propose a new means of fixing the glass in its notch, which makes it possible to greatly limit the height of the notch without endangering the holding of the assembly, which is easy to implement, and which is practically insensitive to thermal shocks or to other aging phenomena which generally affect adhesives.
  • the invention proposes to seal the ice in its notch by means of a mass of metallic material arranged in the interval defined by the side walls of the notch and of the ice, this mass adhering by welding. on the wall of the notch, on the one hand and exerting on the other hand a form locking effect on the side wall specially shaped for this purpose of the glass.
  • the metal mass it will be formed of a material capable of having a liquid or pasty consistency when the ice is assembled, then of solidifying under the usual conditions of use of the watch.
  • the watch case of FIG. 1 comprises in particular a crystal 1 engaged in a notch 2 formed at the upper part of a part 3 which may be the middle of the case or a bezel.
  • a mass of metallic material 6 In the interval defined by the side walls 4 of the part 3 and 5 of the glass 1 is arranged a mass of metallic material 6.
  • this metallic material must on the one hand be able to take a pasty or liquid consistency when the ice is placed and on the other hand be able to solidify under normal conditions of use of the box, by being welded to the side wall 4 of the bezel or the middle part 3.
  • low melting temperature will be understood to a temperature compatible with the ice warm up possibilities and of the part 3 of the watch case, that is to say, in any case less than 800 o C.
  • a corrosion-resistant welding material will therefore be used, the melting temperature of which is close to 620 ° C. for example, or based on tin, the melting temperature of which is around 180 ° C. to 250 ° vs.
  • the side wall 3 of the crystal 1 When the mass 6 is solidified, it is important that it exerts on the side wall 3 of the crystal 1 a shape locking effect, which is obtained in the embodiment shown by giving this wall an inclination such that the section of the glass widens towards the bottom of the notch 2.
  • the side wall may be previously coated with a layer of metallization, for example copper or gold, ensuring a perfect bond with the material 6.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show watch cases in which the locking effect is obtained by means of a peripheral groove 7 formed in the side wall 3, or of several parallel grooves 8.
