Definitions
- the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a rod and pull control mechanism. More particularly, the invention relates to a watch bracelet including a monocoque box, that is to say having a middle part and a back made in one piece, equipped with a device allowing to act on the pull tab in order to release the control rod which acts on the movement, such as the winding or setting rod the time of the timepiece, to remove it longitudinally towards the outside of the box so that the movement can be extracted from the box from the when the ice is removed.
- a monocoque box that is to say having a middle part and a back made in one piece, equipped with a device allowing to act on the pull tab in order to release the control rod which acts on the movement, such as the winding or setting rod the time of the timepiece, to remove it longitudinally towards the outside of the box so that the movement can be extracted from the box from the when the ice is removed.
- the pull tab pivotally mounted on the movement plate, is subjected to the action of a leaf spring which tends to engage a protrusion provided at a end of the zipper in a groove in the rod control, the other end of the pull tab being intended for order a scale engaged in the groove of a pinion sliding mounted mobile on the winding stem.
- Document CH 558 039 proposes to overcome this problem by providing a watch of the aforementioned type comprising an extractor lever, the free end of which extends beyond the movement and whose opposite end acts on a end of the pull pin pivot axis so that when you put pressure on the part protruding from the lever, the zipper axis moves longitudinally against the action of a leaf spring and raises the pull tab so that the projection comes out from the throat of the stem. The rod can then be removed from the movement.
- this construction has the disadvantage to require a particular pull pin - longer than a classic axis - as well as a special assembly of this axis in the frame of the movement, on the one hand, that it is movable longitudinally in the frame and, on the other hand, that one of its ends can cooperate with the end of the extractor lever.
- This construction requires also a free space above the whole zipper so that she can go up.
- the main aim of the invention is therefore to remedy the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art in providing a timepiece having a case of the type monocoque and comprising a rod control mechanism and zipper, this timepiece being provided with a simple and economical device that requires no special adaptation of the pull tab assembly on the frame of movement and which allows to lift the zipper to release it from the winding stem without having to pierce the bottom of the box.
- a device which, once the ice has been removed, allows slide the extractor element using a simple tool gripper, such as pliers, to lift the zipper and release the control rod. Furthermore, this device allows not to modify the construction of the mounting the pull tab in the movement and so ability to equip construction movements classic.
- the extractor element has a U-shape, the first branch being connected via a central branch to the second branch which extends substantially parallel to the first branch and which includes a folded portion protruding from the periphery of the movement to form the gripping arm.
- the extractor element can thus be produced using a simple folded and inexpensive element, such as a wire. Furthermore, given the simplicity of the form of this element, its mounting on the movement is easy.
- the bottom of the box includes a recess in which the central branch extends, the latter resting on the bottom of the recess in the position of rest of the extractor element.
- the extractor element does not require the forecast no special means for fixing the latter on the move.
- this part timepiece in the form of a wristwatch.
- Watch 1 comprises a movement 2, comprising classic way a plate and bridges (not shown), surmounted by a dial 4 above which move display means 6.
- Movement 2 is housed in a box 8 comprising a bottom 10 and a middle 12 in one piece.
- the box is closed by a ice 14 conventionally removed in a first housing 16 of the middle part 12.
- the glass 14 applies a flange 18 against the edge of dial 4.
- the glass 14 is also surmounted, in its part peripheral, of a decorative telescope 20 driven into a second housing 22 of the middle 12.
- Watch 1 further comprises a mechanism for control 24 which acts on movement 2.
- Mechanism 24 allows, for example, to set the time of day watch and its winding in the case of a mechanical watch or, if necessary, other functions such as resetting a calendar indicator to the date.
- the mechanism 24 includes a control rod 26 which passes radially through a bore 28 of the middle 12 and which is guided in it.
- the rod 26 comprises a first part 30 which extends outside the box 8 and on which is fixed a crown 32, and a second part 34 which extends into a clearance (not shown) provided for this effect in movement 2.
- the part of the rod 26 cooperating with bore 28 is provided with a groove annular 36 in which is placed a seal sealing 38.
- the part 24 comprises a groove 40 and a portion with square cross section 42 intended for cooperate with a square bore of a sliding pinion (not represented).
- the mechanism 24 further comprises a pull tab 44 (partially shown) pivotally mounted on a frame or a movement 2 plate.
- the pull tab 44 includes a part provided with a projection 46 which is engaged in the groove 40.
- This mechanism 24 also includes means such as only elastic means which tend to engage the projection 46 in the groove 40. In the example illustrated, these means elastic can be formed by the zipper itself as in this case or by a leaf spring or similar.
- the watch according to the invention further comprises a extractor device 48 for lifting the pull tab 44 to release the projection 46 from the groove 40 from the rod command 26 and release it, by actuating this device from above the watch when the glass 14 is removed and movement 2 is still fitted in the monohull box 8.
- the extractor device comprises a single extractor element 48 which extends partially in a clearance (not shown) of movement 2 and partially outside of the latter so that that it can be accessed for example with a tool such a clip or the like from the top of the watch.
- the extractor element 48 is movable between a first so-called rest position, shown in Figure 1, in which it does not act on the pull tab 44 or in others terms it allows the pull tab 44 to be engaged in the groove 40, and a second so-called functional position, shown in Figure 2, in which the element extractor 48 acts directly or indirectly on the zipper 44 to push it out of the throat 40 of the control rod 26.
- the extractor element 48 a the configuration of a "U".
- This element 48 includes a first branch 50 and a second branch 52 which extends noticeably at the first.
- the first branch 50 and the second 52 are connected by a central branch 54 which extends substantially perpendicular to the branches 50 and 52.
- the first branch 50 slides in the movement 2, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of movement 2.
- the branch 50 actually slides in a clearance 53 (shown diagrammatically in the drawing) of the movement 2 which leads on the one hand into the part lower of movement 2 and other substantially in look of the pull tab 44 so that the end of the branch 50 is also located opposite the pull tab 44, and preferably, facing part of the pull tab 44 which is close to the projection 46.
- a clearance can, for example, be formed by clearance normally provided in conventional movements to insert a tool such as the tip of a screwdriver, to release the rod of the pull tab 44.
- the second branch 52 includes a portion which makes protruding from the periphery of movement 2 for form a gripping arm 54. More specifically, the portion 54 is constituted by the extreme part or free end of branch 52 which is folded back at 90 degrees outward from the "U". In the example shown, the branch 52 extends outside of the movement 2, and the gripping arm 55 is housed in a lateral clearance 56 formed in the inner wall 58 of the middle part 12 which surrounds movement 2.
- the element extractor 48 is produced by a section folded element constant transverse and in particular by a metallic wire folded. Of course, this element 48 could, according to a variant, also be made of plastic, by example by molding.
- the central branch 54 connecting the branches 50 and 52 extends outside movement 2 in a recess 60 formed in the bottom 10 of the box 8. More specifically, the branch 54 rests on the bottom 62 of the recess 60 when the extractor element 48 is in its position rest ( Figure 1).
- the stroke C of the extractor element 48 is determined by the distance separating the bottom 62 of the recess 60 from the surface lower 64 of the movement as far as the branch central 54 abuts against the lower surface 64 in the functional position (figure 2) of the element extractor 48.
- this race C will be determined differently depending on an alternative embodiment (not shown) in which movement 2 comprises, in its lower part, a recess or a notch in which at least partially extends the branch central 54 in the functional position, and the case if necessary, in the rest position of the extractor element 48.
- movement 2 comprises, in its lower part, a recess or a notch in which at least partially extends the branch central 54 in the functional position, and the case if necessary, in the rest position of the extractor element 48.
- the depth of the hollow 60 can be reduced or the recess 60 can be completely removed, the stroke C then being determined by the height of the notch in the part lower of movement 2 in which branch 54 can stay in the functional position.
- the element extractor 48 can be mounted just before the fitting of the movement 2 and this by simply introducing the branch 50 in the appropriate clearance of movement 2 and therefore without the need to use any tool.
