Definitions

  • the present invention results from the idea of associating a watch with an additional device enabling play.
  • the object of the present invention is a watch associated with an annex device having a function different from that of time measurement, this watch comprising an at least partially visible free space defined by limiting surfaces and containing a or several mobile elements, characterized in that said limiting surfaces delimit at least one receptacle shaped and dimensioned to receive and maintain the or one of said mobile elements.
  • this embodiment makes it possible in particular to use the watch to perform games of chance such as lotteries with numbers, dice games, rollers, etc.
  • a usual watch which can for example be a wristwatch, and incorporates the device annexed to the case of this watch.
  • the watch comprises a movement 1, which is housed in a case consisting of a base 2, a middle part 3 and a glass 4.
  • a movement 1 which is housed in a case consisting of a base 2, a middle part 3 and a glass 4.
  • the winding crown 5 which crosses the wall of the middle part and penetrates inside the movement 1.
  • the watch is displayed by means of a pair of hands 6 and 7 which are driven by shafts 8 and 9, arranged coaxially in the center of the movement and extending in height from the upper face of this last element of the watch.
  • the watch shown in fig. 1 comprises a member having the function of the dial.
  • This member consists of an upper transparent plate 10 and a lower opaque plate 11.
  • the extended switch passes through the central openings of these two plates between which there is a free space 12 which is laterally limited by an opaque ring 13 in contact with the middle part 3.
  • a second ring 14, placed in the center of the member dial, surrounds the outer shaft 9 carrying the hour hand 7.
  • the elements 13, 14, 10, 11 limit an annular space 12 in which are enclosed a number of movable elements 15.
  • These are elements having two opposite flat faces, which can be for example of plastic or metal, and which are designed so as to be able to slide between the plates 10 and 11 when you move the watch.
  • the movable elements 15 could also be made of glass, ceramic or any other suitable solid material. They can be colored and, as will be seen, their visible face which appears in the embodiment of FIG. 1 through the upper plate 10 of the dial may bear marks, such as for example numbers, or other indications.
  • Fig. 2 shows the appearance of the visible face of the watch in an embodiment corresponding to FIG. 1.
  • the free space 12 is limited by the inner ring 14 and by the outer ring 13 which is not visible in FIG. 2 since it is hidden under the internal rim of the middle part 3.
  • the time signals 16 can be marked on the transparent plate 10 of the dial or, if necessary, on the lower plate 11 since the plate 10 is transparent.
  • the elements 15 which are constituted by small circular discs each carrying a different number.
  • the outer ring 13 has, on the six o'clock location, a triangular enlargement 17 which is visible and which has at its tip a notch 18 in a semicircle of a radius adapted to that of the elements 15. It is therefore understandable that if the watch is shaken, the different elements 15 can move freely in the space 12 and that, during a movement comprising for example a reversal of the watch so as to bring the location six hours down, one of the elements 15 taken at random will enter the notch 18. This arrangement allows a number to be drawn at random from those appearing on the elements 15 and thus play various games, lotto, lottery, roulette or others. It is also understood that the plate 10 does not necessarily have to be transparent over its entire surface but that it is sufficient for the element situated above the protrusion 17 to be transparent.
  • the elements 15 are here of square shape with rounded corners. Six elements 15 have been provided bearing on their visible surface points similar to those of the dice used in games of chance.
  • the shape of the notch 18 is trapezoidal, its dimensions being adapted to those of the elements 15 so that when these elements are moved in the free space 12, one of them comes to be housed in the notch 18.
  • the free space 12 could be provided between the glass 4 and an interior glass placed above the needles. In this case, it would not be necessary to plan a movement with a switch height abnormal. But the free space 12 could also be provided at the bottom by making this member with two superimposed plates, one of which, the one which is visible, would be totally or partially transparent. In this case, the free space for the movement of the mobile elements 15 could occupy the entire surface of the watch, the center being clear. Of course, one can even combine these different embodiments by providing a watch which has two free spaces each containing one or more mobile elements and one or more receptacles.
  • this annex device for the purpose of a game are very varied and make it possible to add to the watch a particularly attractive annex function based on the fact that the game involves moving the watch and that it is a essential characteristic of watches in general to be eminently mobile.
  • the parts 10, 11, 13, 14 which delimit the space 12 are fixed, but one could also arrange them so that some of them are capable of turning around the axis of the watch.
  • the ring 13, with the receptacle 17, 18 could be movable in rotation. It could for example be fixed to the disc 11 which, for its part, would pivot in the center of the movement, for example on a circular projection of the plate.
  • those skilled in the art can imagine still other variants making it possible to introduce an additional random element in the capture of an element 15 by the notch 18.
