Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multifunction tool, in particular for watchmakers, comprising an assortment of tool rods and a hollow handle intended to contain the assortment and provided at the front with a attachment for removably carrying any one tool rods.
  • watchmaker is meant here any person taking care watches, particularly in terms of distribution, sales and after-sales service. These people are brought to carry out operations on watches very varied, requiring an assortment of small tools appropriate.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a tool space-saving multifunction, avoiding the aforementioned problem and to achieve maximum of current operations, in particular in the service after-sales.
  • a particular goal is to achieve a very small tool, so that the watchmaker can always wear it without being embarrassed.
  • the invention relates to a manual tool multifunctional of the kind indicated in the preamble, characterized in that the assortment comprises a pointed rod cylindrical fixed, intended to drive ankles, and a control rod having a cylindrical spring point intended to check the axial maintenance of the dowels driven out.
  • the cylindrical tips preferably have the same diameter and are sized according to the dimensions of bracelets fastening pins manipulate.
  • the fixed tip allows you to push dowel in a hole, either to remove it or for the set up on the watch, while the tip at spring allows to apply to an anchor in place a axial force dosed to check that it holds well and does not risk of accidental escape.
  • the rod control has a tubular body, having a bore axial delimited at the rear by a stop and at the front by a wall pierced with a central hole, a cylindrical point movable slidably engaged in said hole and provided with an enlarged base housed in the bore, and a spring compressed axially in the bore between said base and stop.
  • the stop is formed by a screw engaged in an internal thread of said bore, the axial position of the stop screw defining a spring preload.
  • the multifunction tool shown in Figures 1 and 2 includes a hollow handle 1 open at its rear end 2, a removable plug 3 intended to close off this end, and an assortment 4 of tool rods intended to be attached in turn to the front end 5 of the sleeve 1.
  • the end 5 has a fixing device comprising a blind axial hole 6 and a transverse locking screw 7 having for example a hexagon socket head.
  • the rear end of each rod of assortment 4, arranged to engage in the hole blind 6, may for example have a cylindrical shape, hexagonal or other.
  • the fixing device itself can be of any other suitable type, for example to pliers or ratchet ball.
  • the assortment 4 comprises five tool rods, namely a rod 10 with a flat screwdriver 11, a rod 12 with a Phillips screwdriver 13, a rod 14 with fixed cylindrical tip 15, a so-called control rod 16, with movable cylindrical tip 17 mounted on a spring, and a rod 18 whose point 19 constitutes a special tool for operate conventional spring bars intended for attaching a bracelet to a watch case.
  • the cylindrical tips 15 and 17 of rods 14 and 16 have roughly the same diameter. Their usefulness will be described further.
  • the body of the handle 1 is provided with grooves longitudinal 21 to provide good manual grip. These grooves are interrupted on a smooth surface 22 may bear, for example, the name of the owner of the tool, the brand of watches for which the tool is designed, etc.
  • the rear plug 3 has an outer head 23 grooved like handle 1, a threaded part 24 intended to be screwed into an internal thread of the cavity 25 of the handle 1, and a protruding central tool 26 shaped as screwdriver suitable for operating the locking screw 7.
  • FIG. 10 shows that the five tool rods 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 can be arranged in a circle at inside the cavity 25 of the handle 1, the length of this cavity being larger than that of the rods.
  • the cylindrical points 15 and 17 of the rods 14 and 16 are intended to push pegs, especially pins for fixing a watch strap as we have explained above. They have much the same diameter, which is slightly less than that of ankles concerned.
  • FIG. 3 shows in more detail the rod of control 16 having a cylindrical spring point.
  • This control rod has a metallic tubular body 30, having an axial bore 31 closed at the front by a wall 32 with a central hole 33.
  • the bore 31 opens at the rear end 34 of the body 30 and comprises, in its rear part, an internal thread 35 in which is engaged a headless screw 36 serving as a stop for a helical spring 37 housed in the bore 31.
  • the point movable cylindrical 17 is slidably mounted in hole 33 and has, inside the bore 31, an enlarged cylindrical base 39 against which supports the spring 37, the latter being compressed between this base and the screw 36 whose axial position defines spring preload. User can adjust this position by turning the screw 36 by means of a screwdriver, for example that of the rod 10.
  • This prestress corresponds to an initial force for which the moving point 17 begins to penetrate the body when user pushes it against an ankle whose fixation he wants to control.
  • This force can be chosen for example at 15 N.
  • mark on point 17 a mark or a graduation for indicate different forces depending on the sinking of the point in the body 30.
  • the multifunctional tool described above allows a user such as a watchmaker perform many routine maintenance operations or repair on a watch, especially with regard to concerns the assembly and disassembly of a bracelet.
  • a user such as a watchmaker perform many routine maintenance operations or repair on a watch, especially with regard to concerns the assembly and disassembly of a bracelet.
  • the use of the tool equipped with the fixed cylindrical tip 15 allows you to push an ankle out of its housing for disassembly of the bracelet. She can also serve to replace the ankle if necessary if necessary.
  • the watchmaker can check if the axial holding force of the anchor is sufficient, especially greater than the initial force driving the cylindrical rod 17.
