Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch with a rotating bezel with an indexing system comprising a crown with toothing and at least one pawl which engages in said toothing.
  • Known watches of this type and in particular their indexing system for positioning the bezel are not satisfactory because their manufacture is relatively expensive and / or the assembly is also too complicated and expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a rotating bezel watch with an indexing system which is particularly simple to manufacture and assemble, a system which can also be very easily dismantled to repair or replace defective or excessively worn parts.
  • This ease of assembly and disassembly allows the use of relatively simple elements from suitable material which can be not very resistant to wear, since these elements can easily be replaced.
  • This object is achieved in that said crown gear is a separate part of the bezel and the middle part. In other words, this crown is an element freely mounted between the middle part and the bezel without any fixing, which allows the use of simple elements and also simple assembly.
  • the pawl (s) which cooperate with said ring gear are also part of a separate element of the bezel and the middle part, that is to say of an element freely mounted between the middle part and the glasses.
  • the watch partially shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a middle part 1 in which is mounted the watch movement not shown.
  • the middle part has two annular grooves 2 and 3 intended for mounting the bezel 4.
  • On the bottom 5 of an annular groove in the bezel 4 are the marks, for example numbers and divisions.
  • the bezel 4 is mounted on the middle part 1 using a slightly inclined multipan wire spring 6 and engaging in the groove 2 of the middle part 1 as well as in a groove 7 of the bezel 4. By this spring 6 the bezel 4 is pressed down against a shoulder of the middle part.
  • a crown 8 with teeth is freely placed between the bezel and the middle part.
  • the angular position of this crown 8 relative to the bezel 4 is determined by pins or lugs 9 of the crown 8 which engage in notches or holes 10 in the bezel.
  • a flat spring 11 In the groove 3 of the middle part 1 is a flat spring 11 with some lugs or elastic blades 12 which make pawls and which engage in the teeth of the crown 8.
  • the pawls 12 are uniformly distributed around the circumference.
  • the spring 11 has lugs 13 which engage in notches 14 of the middle part 1 to determine the angular position of the flat spring 11 respectively of the pawls 12 relative to the middle part.
  • the crown 8 and the flat spring 11 thus constitute a indexing system for the bezel, a system which is freely maintained between the middle part 1 and the bezel 4 simply under the action of the springs 6 and 11.
  • the bezel 4 is maintained in its position represented by the spring 6 while the crown 8 is held in its position in contact with the bezel and with its pins 9 engaging in the holes 10 by the elasticity of the pawls 12 coming in one piece with the flat spring 11.
  • the indexing system is composed of extremely simple and inexpensive elements and that the assembly of this system respectively of the telescope with its indexing system is also extremely simple. By pulling up on the bezel, it can be removed under a slight compression of the spring 6 to replace the defective crown 8 or the spring 11. It is thus possible to provide a plastic crown and thus inexpensive which can easily be replaced.
  • the system is suitable for mounting with any type of watch and bezel either in metal or in plastic.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numbers as in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the example of execution according to FIGS. 3 and 4 differs essentially from the example according to FIGS. 1 and 2 by the fact that the crown gear 8 is placed on the side of the middle part 1 while the flat spring 11 is placed on the side of the bezel 4.
  • the pins or pins 9 of the crown 8 engage in holes 15 of the middle while the blades 13 of the spring 11 engage in holes 16 in the bezel 4.
