Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch case with attached decorative element.
  • the object of the present invention is to allow the attachment of a decorative element to a watch case, including an element capable of concealing the attachment of the bracelet to a wristwatch box.
  • this invention relates to a display case with a decorative element according to claim 1.
  • the essential advantage of the proposed solution lies in its simplicity, insofar as the decorative element reported does not require any particular fastener, but is retained on the middle part, either by the bezel, or by the bottom.
  • the present invention makes it possible in particular to give a surface condition to the decoration thus reported, different from that of the top and the lower faces of the horns and to arrange different levels between the surface of the horns and that of the decorative element.
  • Figure 1 is a partial view from above of a watch boot according to a first variant.
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line II-II of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a partial view from above of a watch boot according to a second variant.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view along line IV - IV of FIG. 3.
  • Figure 5 is a partial view from above of a third variant.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a wristwatch boot whose part of the middle part 1 located between the horns 2 has an arcuate clearance 3 formed in the outer lateral face and concentric in the center of the boot. Another clearance 4 also in an arc is formed on the face of the middle 1 adjacent to the bezel 5. As seen in Figure 1, this clearance 4 extends angularly beyond the first clearance 3 and share and other of it. However, the edge of this second clearance 4 is located at a distance from the outer edge of the middle part 1 thus providing two retaining lugs 4a at the ends of this clearance 4.
  • the clearances 3 and 4 receive a decorative element 6 whose surface adjacent to the middle part 1 is complementary to that of the recesses 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper face of this decorative element 6 is adjacent to the underside of the bezel 5 which prevents it and out of the second clearance 4 and two retaining lugs 4a. It is also noted in this figure 2 that this decorative element, which extends outwardly of the middle part in the space between the horns 2, has a clearance 8 consisting of a cylindrical surface portion centered on the axis of the bar 9 for fixing the bracelet (not shown). Thus this clearance 8 allows the passage of the end of the bracelet without there being visible space from the top of the box between the latter and the bracelet.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show that the decorative surface of the element 6 may have different levels. It is found in particular that the two decorative surfaces 6a adjacent the horns 2 are at a lower level than the central surface 6b and that of the upper surface of the horns. Therefore, it is possible to give the decorative surfaces a different finish than the horns. Thus, for example, if the horns 2 are polished, the surfaces 6a can be matted and the surface 6b polished. specify still that, not to interfere with the hooking of the bezel 5 on the middle 1, the thickness of the portion of the decorative element 6 housed in the second clearance 4 is a few hundredths of a millimeter less than the depth of this clearance.
  • the middle part 10 has a clearance 11 formed on its lower face, adjacent to the abutment face 12 of the bottom 13.
  • the outer edge of the middle portion of the clearance 11 located between the horns 15 opens on the outer face of the caseband which, in this case, has no clearance, while the ends 11a of the clearance 11 are surrounded by a flange.
  • the decorative element 14 has a portion 14a complementary to the recess 11, serving to retain this decorative element once the bottom 13 fixed to the middle part, and an arcuate surface 14b, adjacent to the portion of the outer lateral face of the middle part, located between the horns 15.
  • the visible decorative surface of the decorative element 14 is of an appearance that can be identical to that of Figure 1.
  • the decorative element 16 also constitutes the last link of a link bracelet 17 and serves at the same time as a fixing member of this bracelet to the housing 18 which, then, may no longer have horns as shown in this figure.
