Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schmuckvorrichtung für eine Armbanduhrschale.The present invention relates to a jewelry device for a watch case.

Man kennt Uhrschalen, deren Lunette mit austauschbaren, verschiedene Farben aufweisenden Ringen verziert sein kann, welche abnehmbar montiert sind in einer Lagerung in der genannten Lunette, und welche auf dieser Lunette durch einfaches Einrastern festgehalten werden.Watch cases are known, the bezel of which can be decorated with interchangeable rings of different colors, which are detachably mounted in a storage in the bezel mentioned, and which are held on this bezel by simply snapping them into place.

Diese Schmuckvorrichtungen erlauben wohl einen Teil der Lunettenfarbe zu verändern, sind aber gebunden an die Form des Ringes, welcher sich in die vorgesehene Lagerung auf der Lunette einpassen muss. Zudem muss der Ring sehr enge Toleranzen aufweisen, um einfach in Lagerung montiert werden zu können.These jewelry devices allow a part of the bezel color to be changed, but are tied to the shape of the ring, which must fit into the intended storage on the bezel. In addition, the ring must have very tight tolerances in order to be easily mounted in storage.

Es ist auch vorgeschlagen Worden, das Aussehen der Uhrschalen mittels austauschbaren Ringen Zu modifizieren, welche sich von unten in abnehmbarer Weise an die Uhrschale anbringen lassen.It has also been proposed to modify the appearance of the watch cases by means of interchangeable rings which can be attached to the watch case in a detachable manner.

Es ist auch vorgeschlagen worden, den Ring mittels einem Armband festzuhalten, welches parallel zum Uhrboden und in entsprechenden Führungen verläuft. Eine solche Ringhaltevorrichtung ist aber nur möglich mit diesem speziellen Typus der Armbandbefestigung, welche aus einem einzigen Stück und praktisch unter der Uhrschale gebildet ist, derart, dass diese Armbandhalterung stark über das Armband und das Handgelenk des Uhrenträgers herausragt.It has also been proposed to hold the ring in place by means of a bracelet which runs parallel to the bottom of the watch and in corresponding guides. Such a ring holding device is only possible with this special type of bracelet attachment, which is formed from a single piece and practically under the watch shell, in such a way that this bracelet holder protrudes strongly above the bracelet and the wrist of the watch wearer.

Es ist ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Schmuckvorrichtung für eine Armbanduhrschale 1 zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche unabhängig ist vom Armband, und

  • einen austauschbaren Ring 3, welcher sich in abnehmbarer Art und Weise von unten an die genannte Uhrschale 1 fixieren lässt, wobei der Innendurchmesser des genannten Ringes 3 ungefähr dem Aussendurchmesser der genannten Uhrschale 1 entspricht, und wobei die genannte Uhrschale 1 wenigstens teilweise im genannten Ring 3 eingefasst ist, und
  • Vorrichtungen zur Fixierung des Ringes 3 auf der Uhrschale 1 umfasst.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a jewelry device for a watch case 1 which is independent of the bracelet, and
  • an interchangeable ring 3, which can be fixed in a detachable manner from below to said watch case 1, the inside diameter of said ring 3 roughly corresponding to the outside diameter of said watch case 1, and said watch case 1 at least partially in said ring 3 is bordered, and
  • Devices for fixing the ring 3 on the watch shell 1 comprises.

Diese Vorrichtung soll nicht nur ein Austauschen der Farbe der Uhr ermöglichen, sondern auch in gleicher Weise die Möglichkeit bieten, deren Aussehen auf einfache, effiziente und ökonomische Art zu verändern.This device is intended not only to allow the color of the watch to be exchanged, but also in the same way to offer the possibility of changing its appearance in a simple, efficient and economical manner.

Die erfindungsgemässe Schmuckvorrichtung für eine Armbanduhrschale 1 ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass diese Vorrichtungen zur Fixierung entweder

  • wenigstens ein verschiebbares, gegenseitig abgestimmtes Element umfassen, angebracht entweder in der Uhrschale 1 oder im Ring 3, und welches (welche) den jeweils anderen Teil festhält (festhalten), oder
  • Wenigstens einen beweglichen Zapfen 7 umfassen, welcher mit einer Feder 8 verbunden ist und sich in einer sich verengenden Bohrung 9 befindet und entweder in der Uhrschale 1 oder im Ring 3 untergebracht ist, und sich im jeweils anderen Teil eine Aussparung 14 für die Aufnahme des Zapfens 7 befindet.
The jewelry device according to the invention for a wristwatch case 1 is characterized in that these devices either fix
  • comprise at least one displaceable, mutually coordinated element, fitted either in the watch case 1 or in the ring 3, and which (which) holds (holds) the other part, or
  • At least one movable pin 7, which is connected to a spring 8 and in a narrowing bore 9 is located either in the watch case 1 or in the ring 3, and in the other part there is a recess 14 for receiving the pin 7.

Der Vorteil dieser Vorrichtung besteht darin, dass der austauschbare Ring 3 eine Vielzahl von verschiedenen Formen haben kann. Einzig der Innendurchmesser des Ringes 3 muss die Dimension der Uhrschale 1 respektieren, um seine Kontur anzupassen und um ein Einfügen derselben zu ermöglichen.The advantage of this device is that the interchangeable ring 3 can have a variety of different shapes. Only the inside diameter of the ring 3 has to respect the dimension of the watch case 1 in order to adapt its contour and to enable it to be inserted.

Geht man beispielsweise von einer runden Uhrschale 1 aus, so kann man nach Belieben und nach Wahl des Verwenders deren Aussehen in eine quadratische, rechteckige, ovale, etc., Form bringen.If, for example, a round watch case 1 is assumed, the appearance of the watch can be shaped into a square, rectangular, oval, etc. at will and at the discretion of the user.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass der Ring 3 an die Aussenseite der Uhrschale 1 montiert ist.Another advantage is that the ring 3 is mounted on the outside of the watch case 1.

Dabei sind die Toleranzen für die Ausführung viel weniger streng, und dies erlaubt unter anderem die Verwendung von verschiedenen Materialien, was nicht möglich wäre mit einer Gewindefixierung des Ringes 3. Man kann insbesondere alle zerbrechlichen Materialien verwenden, wie etwa Keramik, Glas, Granit, Edelsteine, Halbedelsteine, Edelmetalle, wie etwa Gold, etc..The tolerances for the execution are much less strict, and this allows, among other things, the use of different materials, which would not be possible with a thread fixation of the ring 3. In particular, all fragile materials can be used, such as ceramics, glass, granite, precious stones , Semi-precious stones, precious metals such as gold, etc.

Ausserdem wird der Ring 3 nicht nur durch die Vorrichtungen 5a, 5b, oder 7, 8, 9, 14 zur Fixierung festgehalten, sondern auch in gleicher Weise während des Tragens vom Arm des Trägers selbst, weil er vom Uhrenunterteil her montiert ist. Dadurch besteht kein Risiko, dass der Ring 3 während des Tragens verloren werden kann, wie auch immer das Armband an die Uhrschale 1, auch Gehäuse genannt, angebracht ist.In addition, the ring 3 is not only held by the devices 5a, 5b, or 7, 8, 9, 14 for fixation, but also in the same way during wear by the arm of the wearer himself, because it is mounted from the lower part of the watch. As a result, there is no risk that the ring 3 will be lost during wear can, however the bracelet is attached to the watch case 1, also called the case.

In den Figuren sind mögliche Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung dargestellt.Possible embodiments of the present invention are shown in the figures.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektive Ansicht einer ersten Ausführungsform eines Ringes 3, insbesondere eines Schmuckringes, während des Fixiervorganges an die Uhrschale 1.FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a ring 3, in particular a decorative ring, during the fixing process to the watch case 1.

Figur 2 ist ein schematischer teilweiser Schnitt der Figur 1 entlang der Zeigerachse von 12 Uhr nach 6 Uhr, wobei das Armband 6 an die Halterungen 2a, 2b der Uhrschale 1 fixiert ist.Figure 2 is a schematic partial section of Figure 1 along the pointer axis from 12 o'clock after 6 o'clock, the bracelet 6 is fixed to the brackets 2a, 2b of the watch case 1.

Die Figuren 3 bis 5 zeigen schematisch drei mögliche Ausführungsformen des Ringes 3 in fertigen Uhren.Figures 3 to 5 show schematically three possible embodiments of the ring 3 in finished watches.

Figur 6 zeigt als Beispiel einen teilweisen Aufschnitt einer Uhr, deren Ring 3 durch die Verzapfungs-Vorrichtung festgehalten wird.FIG. 6 shows an example of a partial cut-up of a watch, the ring 3 of which is held in place by the tapping device.

Beim in Figur 1 dargestellten Beispiel weist die Uhrschale 1 ein rundes Uhrwerk ohne Krone auf, und ist mit zwei Halterungen 2a, 2b für das Armband 6 ausgestattet. Ein Schmuckring 3 ist vorgesehen, um in abnehmbarer Art von unten in die Uhrschale 1 in Richtung der Pfeile befestigt zu werden.In the example shown in FIG. 1, the watch shell 1 has a round movement without a crown and is equipped with two brackets 2a, 2b for the bracelet 6. A decorative ring 3 is provided in order to be attached in a detachable manner from below into the watch case 1 in the direction of the arrows.

Dabei entspricht der Innendurchmesser des Ringes 3 ungefähr dem Aussendurchmesser der Uhrschale 1. Der Ring 3 ist mit zwei sich diametral gegenüberliegenden Aussparungen 4a, 4b ausgerüstet, welche sich in die Halterungen 2a, 2b der Uhrschale 1 einfügen. Die Stärke d₁ des Ringes 3 entspricht mehr oder weniger genain der Stärke d₂ der Uhrschale 1, so dass die Uhrschale 1 praktisch ganz und bündig in den Ring 3 eingefügt ist.The inner diameter of the ring 3 corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the watch case 1. The ring 3 is equipped with two diametrically opposite recesses 4a, 4b, which are in the Insert brackets 2a, 2b of watch case 1. The thickness d 1 of the ring 3 corresponds more or less exactly to the thickness d 2 of the watch case 1, so that the watch case 1 is inserted practically completely and flush into the ring 3.

Im in Figur 2 dargestellten schematischen teilweisen Schnitt kann man die Vorrichtungen zur Fixierung des Ringes 3 auf die Uhrschale 1 sehen, dargestellt in diesem Beispiel durch zwei unten an die Uhrschale 1 angebrachte schwenkbare Verschlussriegel 5a, 5b, welche sich diametral gegenüberliegen.In the schematic partial section shown in FIG. 2, the devices for fixing the ring 3 to the watch case 1 can be seen, represented in this example by two pivotable locking bars 5a, 5b attached to the watch case 1 at the bottom, which are diametrically opposed.

Diese Verschlussriegel 5a, 5b können eine rechteckige, längliche, halbkreisförmige oder kreisförmige Form aufweisen. Ihr Fixations- und Angelpunkt auf dem Uhrgehäuse 1 ist exzentrisch, so dass sie nicht den Durchmesser der Uhrschale 1 in Montagestellung des Ringes 3 überschreiten, aber während der Fixierungsposition des Ringes 3 auf der Ohrschale 1 den genannten Durchmesser überschreiten, um ein Verschieben des Ringes 3 zu verhindern.These locking bolts 5a, 5b can have a rectangular, elongated, semicircular or circular shape. Their fixation and pivot point on the watch case 1 is eccentric, so that they do not exceed the diameter of the watch case 1 in the mounting position of the ring 3, but exceed the mentioned diameter during the fixing position of the ring 3 on the ear case 1 in order to displace the ring 3 to prevent.

Mit dem Ziel, den Verwender nicht zu stören können die Verschlussriegel 5a, 5b in Versenkungen in der Unterseite der Uhrschale 1 angebracht sein.With the aim of not disturbing the user, the locking latches 5a, 5b can be installed in recesses in the underside of the watch case 1.

Der Schmuckring 3 kann eine Vielzahl von Formen haben, was erlaubt, das Aussehen der Uhr nach Belieben zu ändern.The decorative ring 3 can have a variety of shapes, which allows the appearance of the watch to be changed as desired.

In Figur 3 ist ein Ring 10 in der Form von Blütenblättern dargestellt.In Figure 3, a ring 10 is shown in the form of petals.

In Figur 4 wurde der Ring 11 mit römischen Ziffern zur Stundenanzeige versehen.In Figure 4, the ring 11 has been provided with Roman numerals for hour indication.

In Figur 5 ist die Uhrschale 1 auf ein metallisches Armband 12 montiert und der Ring 13 hat eine Form, welche die Geometrie des Armbandes 12 vervollständigt.In FIG. 5, the watch shell 1 is mounted on a metallic bracelet 12 and the ring 13 has a shape that completes the geometry of the bracelet 12.

Es gibt keine Begrenzung in der Formgebung des Ringes 3. Die einzige Bedingung besteht darin, dass sein Innendurchmesser dem Aussendurchmesser der Uhrschale 1 entspricht.There is no limit to the shape of the ring 3. The only condition is that its inside diameter corresponds to the outside diameter of the watch case 1.

So kann man auch Ringe 3 mit irgendeiner äusseren Form, beispielsweise quadratisch, rechteckig, oval, vorsehen, je nach freiem Belieben der Vorstellungskraft des Kreateurs.So you can also provide rings 3 with any external shape, for example square, rectangular, oval, depending on the creative imagination of the creator.

Besonders bei Kinderuhren-Anwendungen kann der Ring 3 die Form von Personen, lebendigen Mustern oder beliebten Tieren, etc. haben.Particularly in children's watch applications, the ring 3 can take the form of people, living patterns or popular animals, etc.

Das Material, aus welchem dieser Ring 3 hergestellt ist, kann beliebig sein, und ist vorzugsweise ausgewählt aus Metallen, insbesondere Edelmetallen, Steinen, insbesondere Edelsteine, Granit, Glas, Keramik, Kunststoffen, Holz, Leder, auf eine metallische Oberfläche aufgebrachtes Gewebe, Email, etc.The material from which this ring 3 is made can be any, and is preferably selected from metals, in particular precious metals, stones, in particular gemstones, granite, glass, ceramics, plastics, wood, leather, tissue applied to a metallic surface, enamel , Etc.

Ausgehend von einer runden Uhr kann man so das Aussehen ins Unendliche variieren, um dem aktuellen Modegeschmack oder den Kleidern oder anderen Accessoires des Trägers zu entsprechen.Starting from a round watch, you can vary the look indefinitely to match the current fashion taste or the clothes or other accessories of the wearer.
