Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wristwatch, consisting of a pot-shaped, the clockwork receiving housing lower part, on which the watch glass is pressed with the interposition of a sealing ring.
  • Watch cases are known in which the watch glass is attached directly to the case without the aid of a bezel.
  • a watch case is described in German Offenlegungsschrift 28 36 827, the completely closed case of which has only a narrow opening on the front, which serves for the passage of the clock hand shaft, and whose watch glass, which covers the entire front of the case, is fastened to the case by screws.
  • the watch strap is fastened in this watch case in the usual way by means of connecting webs projecting on the sides, so that there is a gap between the case and the watch strap and the watch case and watch strap do not merge harmoniously.
  • the frame g for recording of the work and holding the watch has lases laterally projecting flanges, to those forming webs a ⁇ part of the bracelet, rest and connected by screws, rivets or bolts to the base part (German Laid-open specification 27 33 094).
  • a disadvantage of this fastening arrangement for the watch strap are the proposed inserted webs, which are at least partially enclosed by the leather, plastic or textile watch strap or connected to a metal or link strap with pins, screws, rivets or bolts. This requires additional operations, which makes production more expensive.
  • the design of the upper housing frame with its flanges, on which in turn cheeks are formed, on which the watch strap rests from above, with its various bores or recesses for connecting screws and pins and the cutouts for the seal and base bracket, are complicated and cumbersome, so that the clock can not be manufactured inexpensively and economically.
  • Art glass or mineral glass is normally used to make watch glasses.
  • a watch glass made of sapphire glass is often used for reasons of durability.
  • watch glasses are partially metallized or coated with another contrasting material.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a flat wristwatch which corresponds to the modern trend and which can be inexpensively manufactured and assembled from a few, uncomplicated parts.
  • the transition to the watch strap should be smooth and without interruption, so that the watch case and watch strap come together to form a harmonious unit.
  • the watch should be provided with a watch glass that has optimal wearing properties, but is quite inexpensive to manufacture, so that it can also be used advantageously with less expensive watches.
  • the watch glass is dispensed with a housing upper part directly from the screwed to the housing lower part or otherwise connected end pieces of the two watch band halves and pressed onto the lower housing part.
  • the watch glass has steps on two opposite sides, into which corresponding projections engage on the end pieces of the two watch band halves.
  • the watch glass is provided in a manner known per se with a recess serving as a pointer space.
  • the watch glass is glued together from two panes, the lower one of which has the pointer space as a breakthrough and whose outer dimensions protrude on both sides by the width of the steps above the upper pane.
  • the two panes of the watch glass can consist of two different materials of different hardness.
  • the upper disc is made of sapphire glass and the lower disc, which has the opening as a breakthrough, is made of mineral glass.
  • the lower disc is made of metal.
  • the watch glass is decorated on the underside of the lower pane or preferably in the adhesive joint on the underside of the upper pane, e.g. metallized or painted.
  • the lower part of the housing has a flat cutout that extends all the way beyond the pointer space, in which the dial held down by the glass rim and the sealing ring lie outside the dial.
  • the crown shaft of the wristwatch can be snapped out of the movement or a clutch lying in the movement shaft in a manner known per se and has at least one preferably two milled grooves that carry sealing rings that slide directly into the shaft bore in the lower part of the housing.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the number of parts that are otherwise required in a wristwatch construction is further reduced.
  • the individual construction elements are designed in such a way that they can be manufactured efficiently and assembled into clocks.
  • the transition from the watch glass to the watch strap is smooth and gapless, since the last link of the watch strap halves takes over the function of an otherwise usual bezel for holding the watch glass. With its recess, the watch glass defines the height of the pointer space.
  • sapphire glass / mineral glass or metal gives you a watch glass that is far below the price of a full sapphire glass in sandwich construction, but has the excellent wearing properties of such a watch glass Wearing properties less resistant mineral glass or the inexpensive metal can be used, since it is not subjected to any stress when worn.
  • the design possibilities in the wristwatch according to the invention are great due to the two-part watch glass and its decorative adhesive surface.
  • the combination of transparent sapphire glass for the upper pane of the watch glass and metal for the lower pane provide numerous variation options for the aesthetic design of the wristwatch in which the watch glass is to be used, not only due to the selection of metals that can be used for this , but also by the shape of the opening in the lower pane, which can be round, rectangular, square, etc.
  • the dial and sealing ring lie in a flat cut in the lower part of the housing. Laborious alignment or insertion in narrow grooves is not necessary.
  • the sealing ring is covered towards the front against the inside of the case by the dial and upwards from the edge of the watch glass and remains invisible from the outside.
  • the crown shaft is retrofitted into the fully assembled watch. Only a smooth bore is required for the passage of the crown shaft, since the sealing rings are drawn directly onto the crown shaft. This means that the sealing rings can be easily replaced if necessary, without having to take the watch apart. Two sealing rings are preferably fitted onto the crown shaft, since this both improves the security of the seal and ensures more defined guidance of the crown shaft.
  • the wristwatch according to the invention consists of a housing part 2, designed as a pot, accommodating the clockwork 1, onto which the watch glass 3 is pressed with the interposition of a sealing ring 4.
  • the watch glass 3 is preferably made in a sandwich construction from two disks 5 and 6, of which the lower disk 6 has the pointer space as an opening 7.
  • the watch glass 3 has a step 8.9 on two opposite sides.
  • the end pieces are also provided with holes 15, 16.
  • the lower housing part 2 has corresponding bores 17, 18. Screws 19, 20 are inserted and tightened through these holes 15, 17 and 16, 18. By tightening the screws 19, 20, the lower case 2 and the watch glass 3 are connected to one another, the end pieces 12, 13 serving as a glass holder and pressing the watch glass 3 against the lower case 2.
  • the lower housing part 2 has a recess 21 in which the clockwork 1 is seated, and the shape of which corresponds to the outline of the clockwork 1.
  • the dial 22 attached to the clockwork 1 lies in a cutout 23 in which the sealing ring 4 is also located.
  • the edge of the watch glass 3 lies on the edge of the dial 22 and holds it down.
  • the lower housing part 2 is provided with a bore 24 for the crown shaft 25, through which the crown shaft 25 is inserted and locked again can be torn out.
  • the crown shaft 25 preferably has two cutouts 26 which carry sealing rings 27. The sealing rings 27 press against the inner wall of the housing bore 24 and seal against the entry of dust and moisture.
  • the visible in Figures 2 and 3 watch glass 3 is composed as described, consists of two discs 5 and 6.
  • the upper disk 5 is made of sapphire and is the lower plate 6, for example made of mineral glass, bonded.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the watch glass 3 in plan view.
  • the upper disc is again made of transparent sapphire glass, while the lower disc 6 is made of metal, so that there is a special decorative effect from the watch glass 3.
