Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch case having a middle and a bottom, said box being intended to receive a movement surmounted by a dial and a set of needles.
  • the present invention is characterized in that the middle part has at least first and second annular shoulders arranged in bleachers to receive a choice and respectively a first dial with a first dimension or a second dial with a larger second dimension than the first.
  • FIG. 1 The watch case shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a middle part 1 and a bottom 2.
  • Figure 1 is a cut made at 6 o'clock or at 12 o'clock, because we can see there shown a housing 26 which serves to retain a bracelet.
  • Figure 2 is a section at 3 o'clock showing the hole 25 intended to be crossed by a setting rod time. The box is likely to receive a movement not shown which takes place in the space referenced 27. The movement is surmounted by a dial 9 or 10 and a game needles 6 or 5 respectively.
  • the figures show of a back 2 made of a piece with the middle 1, but it is clear that the bottom 2 could be independent.
  • the invention is mainly characterized by the fact that the middle 1 has at least a first shoulder 7 and a second shoulder 8 arranged in tiers.
  • the first shoulder 7 receives a first dial 9 presenting a first dimension.
  • the second shoulder 8 receives a second dial 10 having a second dimension larger than the first, the dial 10 being housed on the upper tier.
  • Figure 1 shows that on small dial 9 is adapted a first type of ice 11 of small dimension also.
  • a bezel 13 To fill the void created between the glass 11 and the edge of the middle part 1 has been arranged a bezel 13.
  • This glasses in addition to hiding the free space of the second shoulder 8 not used, allows bringing to the shows an interesting aesthetic aspect. She went up to notch on the ice and can be fixed or rotating.
  • the dial 9 is surmounted by a set of 6 short hands adapted to the dimensions of the dial 9 and of the crystal 11.
  • Figure 2 shows that on dial 10 of large dimension is suitable a second type of ice 12 having also a great dimension. Ice 12 joins the edge of middle part 1 without having to provide a telescope.
  • the dial 10 is surmounted by a game of larger needles 5, suitable for dimensions of the dial 10 and of the crystal 12.
  • the games needles 6 and 5 are located equidistant from windows 11 and 12 which allows the same type of movement with a similar needle axis.
  • it can be a independent movement mounted by the top of the box or of a movement mounted on the bottom 2 as well known from the SWATCH watch cited above.
  • the game 5 is closer to the dial 10 and that, in the case of FIG. 1, the set 6 is more away from the dial 9.
  • Frame 1 and the two types of glass 11 and 12 shown in figure 1 and 2 are made of materials thermosealable thermoplastic.
  • middle 1 is made of a material chosen from the group including acryl butadiene styrene (ABS) and ice 11 and 12 are made of a transparent resin acrylic (PMMA).
  • Means are provided for assembling one or the other glass and the middle, these means comprising a localized zone 14 or 15 constituted by a mixture of said heat-sealable materials together.
  • the two types of ice 11 and 12 also have a annular clamping surface 16, respectively 17, for keep the chosen dial 9 or 10 on its shoulder corresponding 7 or 8 when the glass is assembled to the middle.
  • the interested reader will profitably read a description of this technique in document EP-B-0 101 663 (US-A-4,558,957). There is therefore no need to expand here further on this process.
  • Figures 3 and 4 respectively illustrate second and third embodiments of the invention. These modes of execution have common points.
  • the middle part 1 is shaped to receive only one type of ice, namely ice 18 of the Figure 3 or the window 19 of Figure 4.
  • These windows 18 or 19 are adapted either to the second dial 10 of large dimension when the latter is housed on the second shoulder 8, or to a ring 20 housed in said second shoulder 8, this ring now in place the first dial 9 when it is housed on the first shoulder 7.
  • the large-sized glass 18 has an annular clamping surface 17 which holds in place a ring 20 housed on the second shoulder 8, this ring now in turn place a small 9 dial dimension housed on the first shoulder 7. In this case, and without it being necessary to represent it, if a dial 10 large was chosen, it would be housed on the shoulder 8 and retained by the clamping surface 17, the ring 20 then failing. Dial 9 corresponds the set of short hands 6 and the dial 10 the set long needles 5.
  • the middle 1 and glass 18 are made, as in the first mode, in heat-sealable plastic materials, means being provided for assembling the crystal and the middle part, these means consisting of a localized zone 21 constituted by a mixture of heat-sealable materials together.
  • the glass 19 and the middle part 1 are assembled by means of a compressible packing 22 interposed between these elements.
  • the middle 1 is preferably metallic and the glass 19 is made of glass.
  • a flange 23 is located under the glass 19 and this flange has an annular clamping surface 24 which maintains in place a large dial 10 housed on its shoulder 8.
  • Dial 10 preferably has a clearance long needles 5 and dial 9, a set of needles short 6.
  • the peripheral shape of the dials and glass can be circular or any other shape.
