Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch mounted on a branch of pliers, in a rotatable and removable manner.
  • a watch with these properties is known from FR-A-2 461 97-0.
  • the watch described in this patent application is a relatively large table watch with a rounded shape at least on the side opposite to the time display members and is held by magnets in a housing, which can be fixed on a branch of pliers. Because the watch is held in this housing by magnets, it can be easily turned and removed. If such a method of attachment may be conceivable for a relatively large and heavy table watch, it is not applicable to a small watch that can be worn either affixed to clothes or to a chain around the neck. In addition, this known manner of attachment does not lend itself to a relatively inexpensive mass product.
  • Patent application FR-A-2 511 165 describes a pendulum essentially comprising a pendulum body and a housing in which the pendulum body is mounted in a rotatable manner, allowing use as a wall pendulum or a table pendulum. This pendulum is not designed to be worn attached to clothes or to a chain around the neck.
  • patent application DE-A-3 143 546 describes a digital electronic watch arranged in a branch of a U-shaped clip, which can be affixed to clothes. The display of this digital watch being fixed relative to the branch of the clamp, this watch can only be affixed in one way to the clothes, to ensure easy reading of the display.
  • the object of this present invention is to provide a watch mounted on a branch of a clip in a rotating and removable manner, which can be produced in large series and at a relatively low price and which can be worn affixed to a coat or chain to be worn around the neck, or can be placed on a table. This object is achieved with the watch described in claim 1.
  • the clamp can have a length of 50 mm and a width of about 27 mm.
  • the housing and the clamp are molded from plastic. This has the advantage on the one hand of facilitating mass production and on the other hand of obtaining a watch and a clip which are very light and comfortable to wear. It should be noted, as is apparent in particular from FIGS. 2 and 3, that the watch is located, with respect to the hinge 4 of the clamp, on the side where the branch 5 of the clamp is pressed and not on the seizing side 6 of the latter. This has the advantage that the clamp with the watch can also be placed on a table, inter alia on the lower branch 7 of the clamp, so that the watch dial is perfectly readable.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show the constituent parts of the clamp, and it appears that the method of assembling this clamp is extremely simple.
  • the clamp contains a U-shaped leaf spring 8.
  • the hinge 4 is composed on each side of a ring 9 at the upper branch 5 and a ring 10 at the lower branch 7, the eyelet 9 being disposed next to the eyelet 10 and the two having an opening 11, respectively 12, in which a tenon 13 comprising, at its front part facing inwards a slot 14 to increase the flexibility and a retaining collar 15.
  • the assembly process is shown in figs. 3 and 4.
  • the two branches are superimposed on each other until the two openings 11 and 12 are opposite each other and the two studs 13 are threaded up 'that their collar 15 is behind the eyelet 10. Once engaged in this way, the stud 13 can not be released without destroying the stud or the eyelets. Because the head 16 of the tenon comes flush with the lateral faces of the two branches of the clamp, the danger that the tenons come out is further reduced, and in addition this head 16 serves as a decorative element. Once the studs are in place, the spring 8 is inserted and to facilitate its insertion, the inner surface of the lower branch has two ribs 17.
  • the spring 8 is held in place in the lower branch 7 by a frame consisting of two side walls 18 and a transverse wall 19, and in the inner surface of the upper branch 5 by a side wall 31.
  • the surface 20 of the side wall 19 may be at an angle.
  • the watch respectively the clip, can be attached in different ways to be worn.
  • a first way is to fix the lower branch 7 to the back of a jacket by a peg passing through the hole 28 provided for such a fastening, the peg being able to be provided by an ankle locking means.
  • a second way of fixing is of course to fix 'clip with the watch to any object it suitable, for example, clothing, handbag or similar, with the part grippante 6 of the pliers. It is clear that, depending on the method of attachment, the watch can be rotated in such a way that the dial, respectively the display of the watch, can be easily read. Yet another means of attachment is illustrated in Figs. 6 to 9. According to figs.
  • a blocking bar 29 can be provided with an elongated section in the shape of a “”, this blocking bar being inserted from the side in the two semicircles 30 formed in the two branches of the clamp.
  • the blocking bar is provided in its middle part, with a handle 32 with a transverse opening 33.
  • the watch, respectively the clip, provided with this blocking bar can be easily transported and put in a pocket as is, because all the clip is in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped.
  • the length of the handle is such that it does not exceed the front of the clamp. It is also possible to thread a chain or similar element into the transverse opening and to transport the watch using this chain, for example around the neck, or as a pocket watch. Because the clamp is open to its maximum and the locking bar is provided with fins, this blocking bar cannot be taken out easily and it is practically not possible to tear it off from the front without the we notice it.
  • a fixing bar 34 having an elongated section with a dimension such that the bar can only be inserted from the front using the small diameter D, while the large diameter G has the same size as the diameter of the two half-circles 30 of the clamp in the closed position, therefore the fixing bar can rotate freely in this opening and can only be taken out in a determined position.
  • the fixing bar is provided with a fixing part with a collar 35 having an outside diameter equal to the height of the closed clip and being provided with an eyelet 36 to receive a chain. or similar item.
  • the watch with the clamp can also be placed in different ways on a surface, for example a table, that is to say either on the lower branch or on the two ends of the branches, or else on the lateral sides of the two branches. This is possible thanks to the possibility of being able to freely turn the watch with the case in the upper branch of the clamp. Finally, it is possible to remove the watch and replace it with other objects, for example with a piece of jewelry. It also appears, and in particular from FIG. 1 that the upper surface composed of the watch face and the surface of the upper branch of the clamp is particularly well intended to be decorated in different ways or to serve as an advertising surface. Neither the dimensions indicated above, nor the material are limiting in the context of this invention.
