Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Uhrengehäuse mit einem Mittelteil, einem Boden und einem Glas.The present invention relates to a watch case with a Middle part, a bottom and a glass.
In der CH-A-685 035 ist ein Uhrengehäuse beschrieben, bei welchem in seitliche Bohrungen mit Befestigungsringen versehene Befestigungszapfen für das Armband eingelassen sind. Diese Befestigungszapfen werden durch dieselben hindurchgreifende Arretierschrauben gesichert. Diese Anordnung weist den Nachteil auf, dass der als Bandanstoss dienende, mit dem Befestigungszapfen verbundene Ring Spiel hat und sich etwas verdrehen kann. Es ist deshalb eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Uhrengehäuse zu schaffen, welches die obenerwähnten Nachteile nicht aufweist, sondern bei welchem der Bandanstoss für das Armband gegen Verdrehung gesichert ist. Dies wird erfindungsgemäss erzielt durch zwei in Bohrungen im Mittelteil eingesetzte Metallzylinder mit mindestens je einer mit einem Gewinde versehenen horizontalen und vertikalen Bohrung zur Aufnahme von horizontalen und vertikalen Befestigungsschrauben, wobei die horizontalen Befestigungsschrauben in horizontalen Bohrungen im Mittelteil geführt sind und zur Befestigung eines Bandanstosses am Uhrengehäuse dienen und die Schraubenköpfe der horizontalen Befestigungsschrauben innen am Bandanstoss anliegen und Mittel zum drehfesten Halten des Bandanstosses.In CH-A-685 035 a watch case is described in which mounting pins provided in side holes with mounting rings for the bracelet. These mounting pins will be secured by the same locking screws. This arrangement has the disadvantage that the one serving as a lug with the fastening pin connected ring has play and can twist something. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a watch case create, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above, but at which the lug for the bracelet is secured against twisting. This is achieved according to the invention by two inserted in bores in the middle part Metal cylinder with at least one threaded each horizontal and vertical holes for horizontal and vertical holes Fastening screws, with the horizontal fastening screws are guided in horizontal bores in the middle section and for attaching one Lugs on the watch case serve and the screw heads of the horizontal Fasten the fastening screws on the inside of the lug and means to hold the lug against rotation.
Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen.Preferred embodiments result from the dependent ones Claims.
Im folgenden wird anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel
der Erfindung sowie dessen Verwendung näher beschrieben. Es
zeigen
In Fig. 1 ist ein teilweiser Schnitt längs der Achse 6h-12h durch das
Uhrengehäuse 1 dargestellt. Das Uhrengehäuse 1 umfasst einen Gehäusemittelteil
2 sowie einen mit diesem lösbar verbundenen Boden 3. Ein Uhrglas 4 ist
an seinem Aussenrand 5 mit der Innenwand 6 des Mittelteiles 2 verklebt. In das
Uhrengehäuse 1 ist ein Werk 7 sowie ein Zifferblatt 8 eingelassen. In der 6h-12h-Achse
des Uhrengehäuses 1 sind im Mittelteil zwei vertikale, nicht durchgehende
zylindrische Bohrungen 9 angebracht, die in Richtung des Bodens 3
offen sind. In die Bohrungen 9 wird je ein Metallzylinder 10 eingelassen. Die
Zylinder 10 weisen eine horizontale, mit einem Gewinde 11 versehene Bohrung
12 sowie eine vertikale, mit einem Gewinde 13 versehene Bohrung 14 auf.
Falls das Gehäuse aus Hartmetall, Keramik, Naturstein oder hartem synthetischem
Stoff besteht, können in dieses keine Gewinde eingelassen werden.
Deshalb ist in die vertikale zylindrische Bohrung 9 ein Metallzylinder 10 mit
entsprechenden, mit Gewinde versehenen Bohrungen eingelassen. Zwei im
Querschnitt runde Bandanstösse oder Bandanschlüsse 21 liegen in zwei horizontalen
oder vertikalen Anschliffen 22 bei 6h und 12h am Mittelteil 2 des
Uhrengehäuses an. Dadurch werden die Bandanstösse etwas versenkt. Die
Anschliffe verhindern das Verdrehen der Bandanstösse. Je eine horizontale
Arretierschraube 23 ist in eine Bohrung 24 im Bandanstoss und in eine
horizontale Bohrung 28 im Mittelteil 2 eingelassen und mit ihrem Gewinde 25 in
das Gewinde 11 der horizontalen Bohrung 12 im Zylinder 10 eingeschraubt.
Der Schraubenkopf 26 zur Befestigung der Schraube 23 steht am konischen
Ende 27 der Bohrung 24 im Bandanstoss 21 an. Die zwei horizontalen Arretierschrauben
23 sind im wesentlichen nur auf Zug belastet. Durch die beschriebene
Anordnung kann der Bandanstoss an der Seite 33 des Mittelteiles des
Uhrengehäuses befestigt werden, ohne dass dieser sich verdrehen kann. Er
weist im weiteren auch kein Spiel auf. Der Bandanstoss 21 weist einen massiven
Teil 29 mit einer Ausfräsung 30 auf. Durch diese Ausfräsung 30 werden
zwei seitliche Platten 31 gebildet, die mit einer Bohrung 32 zur Befestigung des
Armbandes versehen sind. Die Bandanstösse 21 werden an die Anschliffe 22
gelegt und anschliessend die Schrauben 23 durch die Bohrungen 24 in den
Bandanstössen geführt und in die Gewinde 11 in den horizontalen Bohrungen
12 in den Zylindern 10 eingeschraubt. In der 6h-12h-Achse des Bodens 3 des
Uhrengehäuses sind zwei vertikale Bohrungen 15 mit einem Absatz 16 eingelassen.
Durch die vertikalen Bohrungen 15 wird je eine mit einem Gewinde 17
versehene Befestigungsschraube 18 für den Boden 3 in die vertikale Bohrung
14 im Zylinder 10 eingeschraubt. Der Schraubenkopf 19 liegt dabei am Absatz
16 an. Der Boden 3 ist mit einem Dichtungsring 20 gegenüber dem Mittelteil 2
gedichtet. Die vertikalen Schrauben 18 durchdringen die horizontalen Schrauben
23 nicht.In Fig. 1 is a partial section along the axis 6h-12h through
Bei einer weiteren nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform befindet sich im oberen Teil des Zylinders eine zusätzliche Bohrung, in welche eine Schraube, beispielsweise zur Befestigung des Glases, eingeschraubt ist.In a further embodiment, not shown, there is an additional hole in the upper part of the cylinder, into which a screw, for example, for fastening the glass.
In Fig. 2 ist eine teilweise Draufsicht auf das Uhrengehäuse gemäss Fig. 1 dargestellt.In Fig. 2 is a partial plan view of the watch case according to Fig. 1 shown.
