Definitions
- the invention relates to a wristwatch case comprising a middle part, a crystal cut out to be side by side with the outer periphery of the planar upper face of the middle part, said outer periphery situated at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock coinciding. with the edge of the case, an enlargement circle resting on a first inner beat of the middle to carry the movement, and a screwed back.
- Wristwatch boxes are known where the sections of the ice located at 3 o'clock and at 9 o'clock coincide with the edge of the box.
- Such a construction is shown for example in patent CH 592 911 where one can see a crystal located edge to edge with the middle part.
- the glass is engaged at 6 o'clock and at 12 o'clock in two parallel slides presented by an element of the box and in which it is held by a seal which it compresses and which is supported on its inner face.
- This construction has several drawbacks. First of all, the installation of the glass by sliding it behind the scenes: this operation, apart from being made difficult by the presence of the trim, can damage a decoration which it would be desirable to affix under the glass. .
- the watch case which is the subject of the present invention provides a construction allowing the perfect integration of a bracelet formed of links into the box itself while ensuring easy assembly and disassembly without particular precautions. This object is achieved by the means which appear in the claims.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of the watch according to the invention.
- the display represented by two needles 2.
- the underside of the glass is provided with a decoration 3 forming a frame.
- This decoration is generally carried out by a metallization which hides the upper face of the middle part, the seal and the flange.
- On the right side of the watch appears a member 4 which allows the correction of the display.
- the edge of the ice coincides with the edge of the box on the sides located at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock.
- the edges of the glass are juxtaposed each with a terminal link 5 of the bracelet 6.
- the visible upper part of the terminal link 5 comprises a flat part 7 aligned with the plane of the glass and an inclined part 8 towards the bottom of the figure, this inclined part being equipped for example with a hinge which attaches it to the first movable link of the bracelet 6.
- This box includes a middle part 9 which has two battées.
- a first internal battée 10 is intended to receive an enlargement circle 11 arranged to receive in turn the movement 12 which is fixed to the circle by means of flanges not shown.
- a second external battée 14 is formed in the middle part 9.
- This battue is engaged and fixed a cover 5 which forms the end link which has already been discussed in connection with FIG. 1.
- This cover has the flat 7 and inclined 8 parts already mentioned and extends beyond the middle to adapt to the bracelet proper 6.
- a bevel 15 is cut on the edge of the crystal 1 and the cap 5 is secured to the ice at the location of this bevel by appropriate means, for example by welding or gluing.
- the glass 1 and the two caps 5 thus form, in the embodiment according to the invention, a removable pre-assembly assembly which can be attached to the box or, on the contrary, separated from it for needs. maintenance or repair.
- the assembly in question is fixed to the middle by means of screws 16, arranged in pairs located one at 6 o'clock and the other at 12 o'clock.
- screws 16 there is between the glass 1 and the flat upper face 17 of the middle part a sealing gasket 18 which the glass compresses when the screws 16 are tightened, the heads of which rest on the bottom of the build.
- the blind holes are provided with threaded sleeves 23 to receive the screws.
- a floating flange 19 which holds the frame 13 in place.
- a notch is practiced both in the middle part and in the flange to accommodate the seal 18.
- the underside of the glass is provided with a decoration. 3 forming a frame and which appears better in FIG. 1.
- the box also includes a removable bottom 20.
- this base is screwed not in the middle as is usually the case but in the enlargement circle 11. If the box is shaped, this circle will advantageously be made of plastic and provided with threaded metal sleeves (not shown) to receive the screws 21 also arranged in pairs on each side of the box.
- a gasket 22 seals the bottom of the box. It will be noted that this method of fixing the bottom is advantageous for the aesthetic appearance which it is proposed to achieve here since it makes it possible to reduce the width 8 of the terminal link 5, width taken in the direction of the length of the bracelet, to the width of the other articulated links of the bracelet.
- Movement 12 is fixed to circle 11 by means of flanges (not shown).
- the whole is introduced into the middle part 9 from the top thereof.
- We glue on each side of the glass 1 a cover 5 and the assembly thus formed is fixed on the middle part 9 by means of screws 16.
- the bottom 20 is in turn subject to the box using screws 21.
- the screw fixing as it is designed here avoids any deformations that the watch case could undergo if this fixing was carried out by means of crooked.
- the fixing of the caps 5 by screws from the underside also makes it possible to minimize the width of the metallized frame 3 and to offer a maximum surface display range.
- the flat upper face 17 of the middle part has the same shape as the periphery of the crystal and is devoid of screws which would have to be hidden by a wider metallization if such screws were present.
- the proposed construction leads to a perfect integration of the strap into the watch case since the end link of said strap is brought to the very edge of the crystal without visible fastenings and that the articulated links which follow it are aligned on it without any discontinuity. .
- the width 8 of the terminal link 5 is substantially equal to the width of the other links 6. This characteristic further accentuates this integration effect.
- the terminal link 5 and the articulated links 6 can be made of any suitable material suitable for being applied to a watch. It should be noted, however, that the construction as it has been described lends itself particularly well to the use of a hard material whose hardness exceeds 1,500 Vickers, such as, for example, tungsten or titanium carbide or even cermet. Indeed, the configuration of the cap 5 forming the end link is very simple and has no recess which would make its machining difficult. This cap can therefore be made entirely of hard material, like the articulated links which follow it. A piece is then obtained whose aesthetic appearance is new and which differs from the “hard metal arm loop known hitherto watch where the links of the bracelet of common material served as support for hard metal plates.
- the invention is not limited to a watch whose crystal has a square periphery as shown in FIG. 1. It can be applied to rectangular or polygonal shapes for example. A similar construction can be adopted for a round window. At this time, the caps 5 have a semi-circular junction with the glass.
