Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a dust-proof and water-resistant crown for a watch boot, the peculiarity of which is that the watertightness of the watch at the level of the crown is no longer ensured by a seal 0- Ring, but by a total elastomer covering of the functional part as well as an external covering.
  • the crown according to the invention is characterized in that the internal part which seals at the level of the tube of the box as well as the external part of the crown, are made of a total covering of rubber or silicone material, in order to guarantee a perfect seal of the watch against dust and against water at the crown - box tube level, the seal no longer working on a small part of the length of the tube, but on its entirety.
  • the characteristic of this patent resides in the fact that to allow a seal at the crown - tube level, it is planned to make a molding either one or two beads on the inside of the crown which works on a smooth tube, or on a tube provided with one or two grooves.
  • the synthetic material used to carry out the assembly is a plastic material which does not have the elastic properties presented by the elastomer according to our claim which makes it possible to guarantee a seal by having the internal face of the smooth crown as well as that of the tube.
  • the characteristic of this patent resides in the fact that in order to allow sealing at the crown - tube level, provision is made to mold a plastic material inside a "cap" of metallic coating.
  • the materials used for this embodiment are synthetic plastic materials of the polyamide, nylon, vinyl resins, plexiglass or polystyrol type, which do not have the elastic properties presented by the elastomer according to our claim.
  • the production technique is also different since there is no metallic core inside the molding of this type of product.
  • Fig. no. 1 of the accompanying drawing is a side view with a section on an enlarged scale showing, by way of example, an embodiment according to the current technique, like, of a 'sealed crown'.
  • Fig. no. 2 is a side view with section on an enlarged scale showing, by way of example, an embodiment of the object of the invention.
  • Watertight crowns (Fig. 1) of the above-mentioned type are known per se. They have the disadvantage that the 0-Ring seal (1) which ensures the sealing works only on a small part of the length of the tube of the box (2), and that the retaining ring of the seal (3) leaves the possibility of external agents such as sweat, water salt ... etc., to penetrate to its level, which causes premature deterioration of the seal and therefore allows water infiltration.
  • the crown according to the invention (Fig. 2) is characterized in that the part which seals (1) with the tube of the box (2) is a coating of flexible and compressible material which adheres perfectly over the entire interior depth of the core of the crown (3) while exerting a continuous tension on all the functional length of the tube of the box (2).
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to remedy the above-mentioned drawbacks of crowns by providing, in an arrangement of the aforementioned type (FIG. 2), all the guarantees necessary in order to ensure perfect sealing over time, by eliminating voids. produced by the 0-Ring seal and its retaining ring and guaranteeing sealing no longer on a small part of the length of tube 2, but on the whole of its functional part.
  • the technology used to produce a waterproof crown according to the invention of the type shown in FIG. 2 is therefore a compression molding technology, and to guarantee perfect adhesion of the rubber (1-la) to the core of the crown (3) which is made of stainless steel, this must first undergo a treatment of very specific surface.
  • the vulcanization of the gum used is carried out at one time which guarantees the same molecular structure over the entire interior covering and outside of the soul of the crown.
  • the cores of the crowns (3) having undergone the preparations mentioned above are introduced into a mold inside which is deposited a certain amount of natural gum mixture, the vulcanization is carried out at high pressure and at high temperature.
  • the crown undergoes a mechanical deburring treatment at low temperature.
  • the surface of the outer part of the crown which is made of rubber, makes it possible to obtain, by additive, dyes at the time of vulcanization of crowns of the entire color range.
  • This technique guarantees the color fastness over time, unlike currently known processes such as painting, color oxides, etc. which deteriorate after a certain period of use.
  • the core cores having undergone the preparations mentioned above, are introduced and positioned in a mold inside which is injected at low pressure and at high temperature liquid silicone which catalyzes and transforms into elastic elastomer.
  • the chemical conjunction between the core of the crown (3) and the body of the catalyzed silicone crown (1-la) is obtained during molding by mixing PRIMER 1 and 2 with the silicone and the metallic core, forming thus a molecular union.
  • the outer metal coating (4) of the crown also undergoes the same preparation treatment and is introduced mechanically onto the silicone crown.
  • the chemical conjunction between the metallic coating (4) and the corpus of the catalyzed silicone crown (la) is obtained at low pressure and at high temperature by mixing PRIMER 1 and 2 with the silicone and the exterior metallic coating which thus forms a molecular union.
