Definitions
- the invention relates to a wristwatch according to the preamble of the claim 1.
- Wristwatches with hands as time display means have a housing in which a clockwork with time display means attached, and a bracelet attached to both sides of the case.
- the Housing usually consists of three parts arranged one above the other: a lower case (bottom), a middle case (dial) and an upper housing part (glass), which is laterally by an annular Housing part are held together.
- a lower case (bottom) a middle case (dial) and an upper housing part (glass), which is laterally by an annular Housing part are held together.
- the clockwork is between the bottom and the held middle housing part, the middle housing part an opening has through which the pointer shaft is guided.
- the upper part of the housing protects the time display means to the outside.
- the ring-shaped housing part usually has a bushing for the elevator shaft.
- the ring-shaped housing part is often on the lower or molded on the middle part of the housing, that is, a one-piece shell takes over the function of the bottom and the annular part (for example described in the patent application EP-A-0 098 239 "Swatch") or a corresponding Shell-shaped dial takes over the function of the middle and the annular housing part (described for example in patent application CH-A-659 169 "RockWatch” from Tissot).
- the assembly of such clocks consists of several steps, individual steps Parts or pre-assembled structures made up of several parts (e.g. Movement with dial and hands) brought into a defined mutual position (aligned with each other) and by positive locking or other connecting means be connected to each other.
- Alignment aids and connection aids are necessary, either for example in the form of corresponding grooves on watch parts themselves or on corresponding ones Assembly tools are provided and accurate to the shape of the watch parts to be assembled are coordinated.
- Patent application CH-A3-654 713 describes a simple manufacturing process proposed for watches, which allows bearings for barrel spindles to realize.
- this manufacturing process at least two Frame components put together in such a way that they together create an opening form, which accommodate a barrel spindle for fastening the bracelet can.
- the frame components are along surfaces that cover the whole Include watch case, soldered together; the cover slip and the housing shell are attached to the frame with sealing rings.
- US-A-3 545 198 discloses a watch top and a watch bottom made of plastic welded along surfaces that encompass the entire watch case.
- the object of the invention disclosed in US-A-1 752 128 is the object based, simple and economical means of fastening the watch case to create on the bracelet.
- a two-part Watch case connected by screws to a ring, which in turn is completely covered by an opening in the bracelet.
- the task is set up a connection to create between the bracelet and the case, which too then remains mechanically stable if the housing is made of plastic.
- the case of the Swatch consists of a plastic shell in which the cover glass is sunk; the dial is sunk in the shell and between the shell and coverslip jammed.
- the bracelet is hinged to the Shell attached, a plurality of formations on the shell or Bracelet increases the mechanical stability and durability of the hinge.
- JP-A-53 22370 discloses a watch in which two housing parts together form an opening in which a molded part on the bracelet is arranged like a hinge. The housing parts are screwed together.
- the bracelet is also according to the documents EP-A-0 469 950 or US-A-4 825 427 hinge-like in an opening forming on a housing part arranged. These writings also teach a decorative element on the Top of the watch, which is also attached in the hinge mentioned.
- the patent CH-A-260 129 discloses a watch in which the winding shaft is passed through the cover slip.
- the wristwatch according to the invention has a strap and a strap Clockwork with time display means one lower, one middle and one upper housing part, with the side wall of the housing (annular Housing part) by forming on at least one of the housing parts is formed.
- the watch has two connection areas, the areas of include as many of the components of the watch as possible and designed in this way are that the components in these areas interlock so that defines their mutual position in as many directions as possible or is easy to define and that the corresponding components with simple Average in these connection areas temporarily (for one or more Assembly steps) or can definitely be connected to each other.
- the standardized connection areas concern at least the band and two of the housing parts and create an interface between these elements Connection.
- connection areas are considered over a generation of watch models maintain standardized areas or standardized interfaces in their Shape and their relative mutual position. In other words, the requirements for the components of the watch are limited to essential to the connection areas in which they have a specific requirement must meet, while in other areas a freely selectable form can have.
- the connection areas serve during the assembly of the Alignment of the individual parts against each other as points of orientation and attack of assembly and alignment tools and advantageously also as a definitive connection or part of a definitive connection between the individual parts of the clock.
- connection areas are preferably narrow to very narrow. In this way, they guarantee the formal design of the remaining areas the clock as large as possible free or better said "game” space.
- Watch parts designed in this way can, so to speak, "flow" into the assembly process be introduced.
- a dial body with a different decor etc. are introduced.
- watches can be made without significant price increases can be individually customized in their production, which was previously only possible on a large scale Effort was to be achieved.
- FIGS. 1a to 1e show correspondingly schematized watches to explain the principle of the wristwatch according to the invention.
- a wristwatch is shown as a top view. It has a band B which is flexibly attached to the housing G on opposite sides.
- the housing G consists of an upper (O), a middle (M) and a lower (U) housing part, which are arranged one above the other, and surrounds a movement, of which only the pointer Z and the crown K are visible in this figure.
- Possible and technically advantageous connection areas V 1 , V 2 , V 3 ... are within the dash-dotted lines and are generally designated with V. They represent the standardized areas that can be used as interfaces.
- Figures 1b to le show corresponding clocks perpendicular to the plane in which the pointers move (pointer plane), cut and that along an in the line labeled 1a, b, c, d, e, essentially from three o'clock after six o'clock (dial marking).
- the cut representations it is visible that the work W between the lower (U) and middle (M) housing part is held that the middle (M) housing part is a bushing for the pointer shaft and that the pointer Z between the middle (M) and the upper (O) housing part are arranged.
- the middle (M) housing part is a bushing for the pointer shaft and that the pointer Z between the middle (M) and the upper (O) housing part are arranged.
- Also in these representations are the one visible standardized connection area with marked with a dash-dotted border.
- the crown K points through the Cutting somewhat unusual to the right.
- Figure 1b shows an embodiment in which the side wall of the clock the lower housing part U is molded so that it is bowl-shaped and has a bushing for the elevator shaft. All three housing parts U, M, O and the band B reach into the connection area V, that is, all three housing parts and the band are in the standardized connection area connected or at least connectable.
- Figure 1c shows an embodiment in which the upper housing part O separately is attached to the middle housing part M and not in the connection area V is enough.
- the middle (M) and lower (U) housing part and the band B connected to each other or connectable.
- Figure 1d shows an embodiment, the central housing part M shell-shaped is formed and has a bushing for the elevator shaft.
- the band B, the upper (O) and the middle (M) housing part extend into the standardized connection area V, while the lower housing part U separately is attached to the middle housing part M.
- Figure 1e shows an embodiment in which the upper (O) and the lower (U) housing part are both shell-shaped, so that the elevator shaft Mixing the two parts can be done.
- the normalized Connection area V includes in addition to the band B the lower (U) and the upper (O) housing part, the middle housing part (M) for example is jammed between the other two housing parts.
- FIGS. 2a to 2c now show three exemplary embodiments of connection areas for the wristwatch according to the invention.
- FIG. 2a shows a top view of a connection area which is designed as a hinge with hinge pin S.
- Both the band B and, for example, the lower and the upper housing part have hinge projections (B.1, B.2, O.1, O.2, O.3, U.1 and U.2) with holes for the hinge pin.
- These projections can be positioned (as shown) in such a way that the holes have the same axis line and the pin can be pushed through, with which the three parts can be connected.
- the figure clearly shows that the molded areas of the connection area can also serve as alignment aids.
- the formation O.2 between the formations U.1 and U.2 determines the mutual position of the upper and lower housing parts in the paper plane.
- a mounting pin can be inserted into the bores before the assembly of the tape, which pin determines the mutual position of the two housing parts perpendicular to the paper plane.
- Figures 2b and 2c show further embodiments of connection areas for a watch according to the invention. It is also about Hinges that do not have a separate hinge pin.
- the function the hinge pin is in the embodiment of Figure 2b by a Formation B.3, for example, the volume B taken over by the corresponding two-part and an opening forming the housing parts (0.4, U.4, 0.5 .%) are surrounded, whereby the formations of the different Alternate housing parts across the width of the belt (O.4, U.4, O.5 ).
- Figure 2c shows an embodiment in which the band B is a two-part, one B.4 is formed into the paired formations U.6 / 0.6 of the housing parts protrude.
- connection areas in the form of hinges between Band and case that are not as in the prior art only a housing part (mostly ring-shaped or shell-shaped housing part) but at least two housing parts with each other and with the tape make connectable.
- This connection triangle, its corner points through the shell, the bracelet and the cover glass are formed (corresponding to FIG.
- connection triangle accordingly comprises three connections, namely one between cover glass and dish, between cover glass and bracelet and between the bracelet and the shell. All of these connections are running but via the same connecting element, here the hinge. Direct Connections between these parts do not necessarily exist at first. This results in the new possibility, the extent or the strength to weight these three connections more or less strongly emphasize and thus design the structure of the wristwatch in a completely new way.
- cover glass upper housing part
- dial middle part of the case
- connection triangle becomes a connection square expanded and the key points are the shell, the bracelet, the dial and the cover slip.
- connection areas In addition to the connections of the connection areas, other Connections between the parts of the housing are provided. Such other connections definitely support or only during assembly the clock, the connections of the connection areas. Such other connections can preferably and for example between the cover slip and the dial or between the dial and the shell and can be designed, for example, as welded connections.
- the dial (middle part of the case) can also be three-dimensional or be shaped like a bowl and thus have a certain stiffness of their own received that can be used in the construction of the watch so that, for example Compromise on the rigidity of other elements of the attractive To be allowed for shape.
- the dial can be described in the Connection area and / or directly connected to the cover slip. It for example, the bracelet is only possible virtually, i.e. from the outside seen apparently, on a hinge element (connection area) anchor, but in reality a direct connection between the dial and bracelet, which can mean that both are made in one piece consist.
- the watch can be designed optically so that the Shell is practically no longer visible by placing the bracelet directly into the Cover glass is inserted and by the cover glass also the side surfaces of the Shell covered.
- Large areas are created on the cover slip that are not for the Time display are reserved and can be printed, for example. These areas can also be designed so that from the bracelet to the dial a seamless transition surface arises, or at least a surface that is perceived at least optically.
- the cover slip can be in the connection area be positioned and attached to the shell. Continue can the tensile forces from the bracelet at least partially in the Cover slip to be initiated.
- the functions mentioned can be performed by the Elements of the connection area also only temporarily, for example at Assembly of the watch can be exercised.
- connection is not sustainable made, i.e. that it is designed so that it does not transmit any forces at all can. It is also possible to create such connecting triangles or connecting quadrilaterals to be trained only for certain forces (e.g. torsional forces) however not for other forces (e.g. pressure forces).
- forces e.g. torsional forces
- other forces e.g. pressure forces
- the dial is also viewed from the side visible in profile. This can also be used to design this profile and the The watch can be visually distinguished from other watches. Another The advantage is that the seal between the two parts is easier and is more reliable.
- the inventive structure of a Watch case also gives the option of not only the dial assign decorative functions.
- the dial can now also directly Establish connection between the cover slip and the dish and can therefore also have a supporting function. Likewise, it doesn't matter if now the dial has digits, dashes, or no elements at all allow the position of the pointers to be determined.
- the dial here simply the middle housing part mentioned at the beginning, which, as already described in connection with the figures la to le, different forms can have. This middle housing part can on its top carry a mark for the position of the pointer, which also includes the shape can have a coating or a flat additional part.
- Dial and crown can therefore be designed as a unit, which is an additional, and creates highly desirable networking of decorative elements.
- FIG. 3 shows a section parallel to the pointer plane through part of an exemplary embodiment of the wristwatch according to the invention.
- a shell 1 can be seen in particular, which has a bottom 2 and a side wall 3, for example. Outside the side wall 3, a shoulder 4 is visible, on which part of a cover slip comes to rest.
- a cover glass 5 is only shown here with part of its side wall 6. The cover glass 5 is also only shown on the right side of a line 7, on the left side thereof the cover glass 5 is omitted in order to make a little more of the dish 1 visible. With 8 part of a half of a bracelet is designated.
- a connection area 9 in the form of a hinge is provided between the bracelet 8, the shell 1 and the cover glass 5.
- This connecting area 9 essentially comprises a pin 10, which is mounted in bores 11 in molded-on cover glass 5, in bores 12 in molded-on shell 1, and by loops 13, which are part of bracelet 8 and openings for the pin 10 form, is more or less closely entwined.
- the pin 10 thus has the following effects: it connects the cover glass 5 and the dish 1 to one another. It connects the shell 1 to the bracelet 8 and it connects the cover glass 5 to the bracelet 8.
- the pin 10 is held in place in the loops 13, for example by a press fit.
- FIG. 1 In the left half of FIG. 1 it can be seen that in an area 14 the Side wall 3 of the shell 1 is no longer shown in section. So that is a surface 15 of the side wall 3 visible.

- the cover slip 5 on the tray 1 be additionally attached.
- this groove 16 can be on the whole Provided circumference of the shell 1 and also be designed as a sealing element.
- the cover slip is more or less strong over this groove 16 as desired attached to the shell 1.
- the cover glass can also be attached to the Shell in the connection area 9 have only a temporary character during the assembly of the cover slip 5 on the dish 1 and as long as, for example an adhesive does not hold in the groove 16 yet.
- FIG. 4 shows a cover glass 5 with its bores 11 for a pin 10 (FIG. 3).
- a region 17 can also be seen, which is delimited by a circle 18.
- the cover glass 5 is transparent and provides a view of the pointers known per se and a dial.
- Extending outside the circle 17 is an area 19 which can be freely graphically designed and printed, for example, because it no longer has to be transparent.
- This area 19 extends up to lines 20 to which the bracelet connects.
- a dial can also be formed, which has the exact same shape but possibly consists of a different material, because it does not have to be transparent.
- the area 17 is then intended more for the display of time stamps and the area 19 can also be designed graphically in this case.
- FIG. 5 shows the connection area of a watch according to FIG. 3 for the combination of cover glass or dial 5 and bracelet 8 without a shell.
- the bracelet 8 is attached to the cover glass or dial 5 by the pin 10.
- the bores 11 and the loops 13, which are drawn here in view, are already known from FIG. 3.
- FIG. 6 shows a side view of part of a wrist watch according to the invention, which essentially corresponds to the watch of FIG. 3.
- a cover glass 21, a dish 22, of which almost nothing is visible, and a half of a bracelet 23 are shown.
- a bore 24 and a pin 25 can be seen in the cover glass 21.
- the bore 24 is not round but elongated, namely in the direction in which tensile forces from the bracelet 23 can occur. This has the effect that tensile forces between the bracelet 23 and the cover slip 21 are not transmitted or are transmitted only to a limited extent.
- forces can be transmitted between the dish 22 and the cover slip 21, provided that these are directed in the direction of an arrow 26 or have components in this direction and the pin 25 is firmly seated in the dish 22.
- FIG. 7 shows the connection area of a wristwatch according to the invention with a shell 30 on which projections 31 are provided for connection to the bracelet (not shown).
- a dial 32 or an element which contains or carries a dial and which also has projections 33 which extend into the connection area can also be seen.
- a cover glass 34 is placed over the dial 32. Bores 35 are provided in the projections 31 and 33, into which a pin (not shown here) can be inserted, so that the shell 30, the dial 32 and the bracelet are connected to one another.
- FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment of the connection area, in which the cover glass 36 is also included.
- Cover glass 36 and dial 37 have projections 38 and 39 with holes 40.
- a shell 41 can only be seen via its end face 41a, on which also projections 42 with bores 43 are provided, which are coaxial with the bores 40 and which are provided for receiving a pin and thus for fastening the housing parts to one another and to the bracelet.
- FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of the connection area, in which an additional element is included.
- the further element shown here is designed as a decorative panel 44.
- This decorative panel 44 covers a part of the cover glass 34 and the dial 23 and extends with projections 45 in the connection area.
- the decorative panel 44 has at least one opening 47 in order to expose the view through the glass 34 to the pointer (not shown) and the dial 23.
- the shell 30, the dial 32, the cover glass 34, the bracelet (not shown here) and the decorative panel 44 are connected to one another in the connecting region 46.
- the decorative cover could also be inserted between the cover glass 34 and the dial 32 instead of lying over the cover glass 34.
- FIG. 10 shows a further embodiment of a connection area, in which an additional element is included.
- the additional element is a protective element 50 assigned to the bracelet 48 with, for example, large-area openings 59, which likewise has projections 51 which extend into the connecting region 49.
- the connection area 49 has, in addition to the projections 51 of the protective element, also projections 52 and 58 of the dial, loops 53, 55 and 57 of the bracelet 48 and projections 54 and 56 of the shell 30.
- not only three parts but four, five or more parts can thus be connected or connected to one another in a connecting region 46, 49.
- further elements such as decorative covers 44, protective elements 50 or elements with further functions can be integrated into the connection without problems.
- FIGS. 11 to 18 now show further details of embodiments of the watch according to the invention. All representations are cuts perpendicular to the pointer plane. In each of these sections, only one molding of a housing part for the connection area is shown, which is no longer to be specifically discussed in connection with these figures.
- FIG. 11 shows part of a housing for a wristwatch according to the invention.
- the housing consists of a shell 102, the shape of which is shown here in a highly simplified manner on the inside and provides a space 103 for a clockwork (not shown).
- a dial 104 extends over it.
- a domed cover glass 105 is arranged above the dial 104, which above the dial 104 keeps a space 106 free in which pointers are arranged in a manner known per se and therefore not shown here.
- the shell 102 has on its upper edge 107 a groove 108 which extends over the entire circumference.
- the dial 104 has an extension 110 on its lower boundary surface 109, which engages in the groove 108.
- the extension 110 forms, together with the groove 108, a direct connection or attachment between these two parts.
- the dial 104 likewise has a groove 112 on its surface 111, into which an extension 113 of the cover glass 105 engages. This results in a further direct connection or attachment between the cover glass 105 and the dial 104.
- the dial also has such formations that are not visible. If it is assumed, for example, that the dish essentially has a cylindrical outer boundary, which is formed by a surface that appears here as line 115, the cover glass 105 projects beyond the dish 102.
- the extensions 110 and 113 are preferably fastened in the grooves 108 and 112 by welding (for example ultrasound welding) or gluing, as a result of which a seal is created at the same time.
- FIG. 12 shows two halves 121 and 122 of a further exemplary housing for a watch according to the invention without the cover glass.
- Half 121 only shows the profile of the case, as can be seen if the case is cut approximately between the center 126 and a zone which is approximately at 9 o'clock on the dial. It can be seen that the shell 124 and the dial 125 have, for example, a common cylindrical outer surface 123.
- Half 122 which results approximately as a section between the center 126 and 6 o'clock on the dial, provides a view of a clockwork 127 and an electric battery 128.
- the clockwork 127 has an outwardly pointing shoulder 130 on its upper edge 129 which is supported in the shell 124.
- the clockwork 127 is held up by the dial 125. This has a reinforced edge 131, which also covers an additional side surface 132 of the shell 124.
- FIG. 13 shows a wristwatch according to the invention, which is characterized in that the winding shaft leads through the dial (see also FIG. 1d).
- the watch is cut perpendicular to the pointer plane along a line from nine to three o'clock (dial marking).
- the watch case consists of a shell 201, a cover glass 202 and a Dial 203.
- the domed cover glass 202 is on the three-dimensional Dial 203 fastened by a direct connection 211, the shell 201 again on dial 203 is also through a direct connection 212 attached.
- the connections 211 and 212 also serve as seals and can be connected using common and well-known fasteners, such as ultrasonic welding and gluing.
- the clockwork 207 is operated via a Swiss patent application no. 00960/92 disclosed and therefore not described here means from Holding dial 203.
- the winding shaft 205 is on the clockwork 207 attached and is by means of the passage 204 through the dial 203 led out of the watch case, where it wears a crown 208.
- the implementation 204 of the elevator shaft 205 is replaced by a in a recess 209 ring-shaped seal 206 embedded in dial 203 watertightly sealed.
