Description

La présente invention concerne un outil multifonctions, en particulier pour horloger, comportant un assortiment de tiges d'outils et un manche creux destiné à contenir l'assortiment et pourvu à l'avant d'un dispositif de fixation pour porter de manière amovible l'une quelconque des tiges d'outils.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.

On entend ici par horloger toute personne s'occupant de montres, notamment au niveau de la distribution, de la vente et du service après-vente. Ces personnes sont amenées à effectuer sur les montres des opérations très variées, nécessitant un assortiment de petits outils appropriés.By 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.

Une des tâches d'un tel horloger consiste entre autres à changer le bracelet d'une montre. Pour actionner les barrettes classiques de fixation, ayant deux pointes rétractables poussées par un ressort, on connaít un outil spécial. Toutefois les bracelets montés sur certaines montres à boíte en plastique, notamment celles de la marque SWATCH®, sont fixés à l'aide de simples chevilles qui sont chassées à travers les trous des cornes de la boíte et/ou ceux de l'extrémité du bracelet. Un tel système d'attache est décrit notamment dans le brevet suisse no. 647 917. On utilise aussi des chevilles chassées pour as sembler des maillons métalliques de certains bracelets de montres. La mise en place, le contrôle et l'enlèvement de ces chevilles ne peuvent pas se faire au moyen des outils figurant dans l'assortiment des outils multifonctions habituels. Cela oblige les horlogers à disposer d'outils spéciaux pour poser, déposer ou réparer des bracelets de ce genre. Ces outils prennent de la place, de sorte que l'horloger ne peut généralement pas les porter sur lui.One of the tasks of such a watchmaker is between others to change the strap of a watch. To activate conventional fastening bars, having two points retractable pushed by a spring, we know a tool special. However, the bracelets mounted on some watches with plastic cases, especially those of the SWATCH® brand, are fixed using simple dowels which are chased through the holes in the horns of the box and / or those at the end of the bracelet. Such fastening system is described in particular in the patent Swiss no. 647 917. We also use dowels chased to seem like metallic links of certain watch straps. The establishment, control and removal of these pegs cannot using the tools in the assortment usual multifunction tools. This forces watchmakers to have special tools for placing, depositing or fix bracelets like that. These tools take space, so the watchmaker cannot usually not wear them on him.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un outil multifonctions peu encombrant, permettant d'éviter le problème susmentionné et de réaliser un maximum d'opérations courantes, en particulier dans le service après-vente. Un but particulier consiste à réaliser un outil de très petite taille, pour que l'horloger puisse le porter toujours sur lui sans être gêné.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.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un outil manuel multifonctions du genre indiqué en préambule, caractérisé en ce que l'assortiment comprend une tige à pointe cylindrique fixe, destinée à chasser des chevilles, et une tige de contrôle ayant une pointe cylindrique à ressort destinée à vérifier le maintien axial des chevilles chassées.To this end, 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.

Les pointes cylindriques ont de préférence le même diamètre et sont dimensionnées d'après les dimensions des chevilles d'attache de bracelets qu'il s'agit de manipuler. La pointe fixe permet de pousser à force une cheville dans un trou, soit pour l'enlever, soit pour la mettre en place sur la montre, tandis que la pointe à ressort permet d'appliquer à une cheville en place une force axiale dosée pour vérifier qu'elle tient bien et ne risque pas de s'échapper intempestivement.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.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée, la tige de contrôle comporte un corps tubulaire, ayant un alésage axial délimité à l'arrière par une butée et à l'avant par une paroi percée d'un trou central, une pointe cylindrique mobile engagée de manière coulissante dans ledit trou et pourvue d'une base élargie logée dans l'alésage, et un ressort comprimé axialement dans l'alésage entre ladite base et la butée. De préférence, la butée est formée par une vis engagée dans un filetage intérieur dudit alésage, la position axiale de la vis de butée définissant une précontrainte du ressort.In a preferred embodiment, 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. Preferably, 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.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront dans la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation préféré, présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue éclatée d'un outil multifonctions selon l'invention, pourvu d'un assortiment de tiges d'outils,
  • la figure 2 est une vue arrière de l'outil de la figure 1, dans la direction de la flèche II, montrant les tiges logées dans le manche dont le bouchon est ôté, et
  • la figure 3 représente en coupe longitudinale agrandie une tige de contrôle faisant partie de l'assortiment représenté à la figure 1.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear in the following description of a preferred embodiment, presented by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a multifunction tool according to the invention, provided with an assortment of tool rods,
  • FIG. 2 is a rear view of the tool of FIG. 1, in the direction of arrow II, showing the rods housed in the handle, the plug of which is removed, and
  • FIG. 3 represents in enlarged longitudinal section a control rod forming part of the assortment represented in FIG. 1.

L'outil multifonctions représenté aux figures 1 et 2 comprend un manche creux 1 ouvert à son extrémité arrière 2, un bouchon amovible 3 destiné à obturer cette extrémité, et un assortiment 4 de tiges d'outils destinées à être fixées à tour de rôle à l'extrémité avant 5 du manche 1. A cet effet, l'extrémité 5 comporte un dispositif de fixation comprenant un trou axial borgne 6 et une vis transversale de blocage 7 ayant par exemple une tête creuse à six pans. L'extrémité arrière de chaque tige de l'assortiment 4, agencée pour s'engager dans le trou borgne 6, peut avoir par exemple une forme cylindrique, hexagonale ou autre. Le dispositif de fixation lui-même peut être de tout autre type approprié, par exemple à pince ou à cliquet à bille.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. For this purpose, 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.

Dans l'exemple représenté, l'assortiment 4 comprend cinq tiges d'outils, à savoir une tige 10 à tournevis plat 11, une tige 12 à tournevis cruciforme 13, une tige 14 à pointe cylindrique fixe 15, une tige 16 dite de contrôle, à pointe cylindrique mobile 17 montée sur ressort, et une tige 18 dont la pointe 19 constitue un outil spécial pour actionner des barrettes à ressort classiques destinées à la fixation d'un bracelet à une boíte de montre. Les pointes cylindriques 15 et 17 des tiges 14 et 16 ont sensiblement le même diamètre. Leur utilité sera décrite plus loin.In the example shown, 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.

Le corps du manche 1 est pourvu de cannelures longitudinales 21 pour offrir une bonne prise manuelle. Ces cannelures sont interrompues sur une surface lisse 22 pouvant porter, par exemple, le nom du propriétaire de l'outil, la marque des montres pour lesquelles l'outil est conçu, etc.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.

Le bouchon arrière 3 présente une tête extérieure 23 cannelée comme le manche 1, une partie filetée 24 destinée à se visser dans un filetage intérieur de la cavité 25 du manche 1, et un outil central saillant 26 conformé en tournevis apte à actionner la vis de blocage 7.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.

La figure 10 montre que les cinq tiges d'outils 10, 12, 14, 16 et 18 peuvent être rangées en cercle à l'intérieur de la cavité 25 du manche 1, la longueur de cette cavité étant plus grande que celle des tiges. Lorsqu'on met en place le bouchon 3, son outil central 26 s'ajuste alors dans l'espace central 27 restant entre les tiges, pour caler celles-ci latéralement.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. When the plug 3 is put in place, its central tool 26 then adjusts in the central space 27 remaining between the rods, to wedge them laterally.

Les pointes cylindriques 15 et 17 des tiges 14 et 16 sont destinées à pousser des chevilles, notamment des chevilles de fixation d'un bracelet de montre comme on l'a expliqué plus haut. Elles ont sensiblement le même diamètre, qui est légèrement inférieur à celui des chevilles concernées.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.

La figure 3 représente plus en détails la tige de contrôle 16 ayant une pointe cylindrique à ressort. Cette tige de contrôle comporte un corps tubulaire métallique 30, ayant un alésage axial 31 fermé à l'avant par une paroi 32 percée d'un trou central 33. L'alésage 31 débouche à l'extrémité arrière 34 du corps 30 et comporte, dans sa partie arrière, un filetage intérieur 35 dans lequel est engagée une vis sans tête 36 servant de butée à un ressort hélicoïdal 37 logé dans l'alésage 31. La pointe cylindrique mobile 17 est montée de manière coulissante dans le trou 33 et comporte, à l'intérieur de l'alésage 31, une base élargie cylindrique 39 contre laquelle s'appuie le ressort 37, celui-ci étant comprimé entre cette base et la vis 36 dont la position axiale définit une précontrainte du ressort. L'utilisateur peut régler cette position en faisant tourner la vis 36 au moyen d'un tournevis, par exemple celui de la tige 10. Cette précontrainte correspond à une force initiale pour laquelle la pointe mobile 17 commence à pénétrer dans le corps lorsque l'utilisateur la pousse contre une cheville dont il veut contrôler la fixation. Cette force peut être choisie par exemple à 15 N. On peut prévoir en outre de marquer sur la pointe 17 un repère ou une graduation pour indiquer différentes forces en fonction de l'enfoncement de la pointe dans le corps 30.Figure 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. We can also provide for mark on point 17 a mark or a graduation for indicate different forces depending on the sinking of the point in the body 30.

On comprend ainsi que l'outil multifonctions décrit ci-dessus permet à un utilisateur tel qu'un horloger d'effectuer de nombreuses opérations courantes d'entretien ou de réparation sur une montre, en particulier en ce qui concerne le montage et le démontage d'un bracelet. Dans le cas d'un bracelet fixé à une boíte de montre par des chevilles chassées, comme on l'a décrit plus haut, l'emploi de l'outil équipé de la pointe cylindrique fixe 15 permet de pousser une cheville pour la faire sortir de son logement en vue du démontage du bracelet. Elle peut aussi servir à remettre en place la cheville le cas échéant. Ensuite, en montant la tige 16 à pointe cylindrique mobile 17 sur le manche 1, l'horloger peut vérifier si la force de maintien axial de la cheville est suffisante, notamment supérieure à la force initiale d'enfoncement de la tige cylindrique 17.It is thus understood that 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. In the case of a bracelet attached to a watch case by ankles driven out, as described above, 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. Then, by mounting the rod 16 at point cylindrical mobile 17 on the handle 1, 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.
