Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for attaching a watch case to a support arranged in such a way that the case can be detached at will from the support.
- a watch particularly a pocket watch
- support is meant here all the means that can be envisaged for retaining or fixing a watch to an object which can be, for example, a presentation support, a watch holder, an easel or quite simply a chain attached to a garment .
- the pendant of the watch which is in the form of an articulated loop on a part which projects from the case.
- the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a new system for attaching a watch case to a support, a very simple system, inexpensive and convenient to use.
- the proposed system also makes it possible to use different supports which themselves fulfill different functions and this from a fastening device which is the same for all the jobs envisaged. To achieve this, the means which appear in the claims will be used.
- Figure 1 shows a pocket watch whose movement 20 is an integral part of a case 1.
- a winding crown is shown at 21.
- the attachment device is located on the side opposite the winding and bears the references 2 and 3 .
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of a watch 22 provided with its winder 21, a watch which is received in a receptacle 23.
- the receptacle is provided with elastic wings 24 which keep the watch enclosed in a housing 25. By removing the wings 24 and by pressing with a finger through a hole (not shown) which is in the center of the receptacle, one can extract the watch from its housing.
- the attachment device 3 is no longer secured to the actual case of the watch but to the receptacle receiving this case.
- FIGs 3 and 4 are respectively front and sectional views of the attachment device where only the means used in the invention have been shown.
- the housing 1 (or the receptacle 23) comprises a projection 3 in the form of a bracket, the upright 4 of which is fixed to the housing 1.
- the projection 3 is made in one piece with the housing.
- the crosspiece 5 of the bracket is hollowed out of a spherical housing 6.
- This housing communicates respectively with the top 7 and with the bottom 8 of the crosspiece by first 9 and second 10 cylindrical holes coaxial with each other.
- Figures 3 and 4 show that the diameters of the first and second cylindrical holes 9 and 10 are chosen substantially smaller than the diameter of the spherical housing 6.
- the figures also show that the front face 11 of the cross-member 5 is provided with a slot 12 which opens both into the spherical housing 6 and into the first and second cylindrical holes.
- the support 2 is equipped with a rod 13 terminated by a ball joint 14.
- the diameter of the rod 13 is produced in such a way that it can be introduced into the slot 12.
- the ball joint 14 is dimensioned to be forced into the spherical housing after which it can move freely. This implies that the diameter of the ball joint 14 is chosen to be slightly larger than the diameters of the first and second cylindrical holes 9 and 10.
- a conical pilot hole 35 can be made at the lower entrance of the cylindrical hole 10, a pilot hole which could even extend obliquely until it intersects the spherical housing 6. In the latter case, the hole 10 would no longer have a cylindrical wall but only a constriction, where the housing 10 intersects the pilot hole 35.
- the rod is tilted in the direction of the arrow B until it is turned towards the bottom of the figure. At this time, the rod is pulled, which releases the ball 14 from the housing 6 according to the same process as that which has been explained above.
- the cylindrical hole 9 was the same diameter as that of the cylindrical hole 10, we could also intro mate the ball or pull it out through this upper hole. In a preferred embodiment, however, arrangements are made for the diameter of the hole 9 to be substantially smaller than the diameter of the hole 10, this hole 10 then being a compulsory passage for the ball joint. This prevents the watch from inadvertently disengaging from the support when pulling in the direction of the fastener.
- the attachment device which has just been described in detail can be applied to the most diverse supports.
- FIG. 5 shows the case where the watch is attached to a chain 30.
- the support consists of a rod 13 and a ball joint 14, the latter being attached to the projection 3 in the manner which has been exposed above.
- the rod 13 is provided with a loop 31 which retains the chain 30.
- This chain could also be mounted on a key holder.
- the rod 13 terminated by the ball 14 could also be the end piece of an easel 32 as seen in FIG. 6.
- This easel can be used as a display case or a watch support on a work table. 11 may be provided with a shoulder 33 intended to define the angular position of the watch.
