Definitions
- the present invention relates to a watch comprising a case fitted with a rotating bezel, part of which annular is toothed, a winding stem having a polygonal section located outside the movement of the watch, a pinion provided with a section opening complementary to that of said section, engaged thereon, the toothing of the pinion being in engagement with that of said toothed annular part, forming a kinematic connection between the rotating bezel and the winding stem.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy, less in part to the aforementioned drawbacks and to do so that the winding of the watch that was perceived so far as a negative transaction, and that has been deleted in automatic and electric watches, becomes something something fun and fun that, unlike a watch wound by the winding stem, is wound more easily by keeping it on your wrist.
- provisions were taken to protect it from dust and to ensure long service life of the rotating bezel and protective seals.
- the subject of this invention is a watch of the aforementioned type, characterized in that said pinion is positioned axially between two stops integral with the housing, said polygonal section of the rod winder with a chosen length to allow axially moving said winding stem between at least two positions, one for reassembly and the other for setting time, while maintaining the kinematic link between the bezel and winding stem via said pinion.
- the normal spring of a watch with manual winding is replaced by a flange spring slippery like those used in winding watches automatic.
- the rotating bezel allows to exercise on the spring a torque significantly higher than that exerted through the winding stem.
- the user Since in this case the reassembly is endless, the user does not know whether the spring is armed or not. he can therefore be advantageous to add an indicator of the degree of arming of the mainspring, which is a device known per se.
- the watch according to the invention does not require any modification with regard to the movement proper, the only modification necessary is that of the winding stem. It is therefore possible, thanks to the present invention, to adapt the winding system to any shows only by changing the winding stem.
- the attached drawing illustrates, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment of the watch object of the present invention.
- Figure 1 is a partial view in axial section of this watch.
- Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a detail of the figure 1.
- the watch illustrated by this figure includes a movement 1 covered with an indicator dial 2, housed in a case comprising a middle part 3, a base 4 and a crystal 5.
- the upper part of the middle part 3 has a annular recess 6 in the bottom of which is formed a annular groove 7.
- a rotating bezel 8 is arranged in the annular recess 6 and is retained axially by pins 9a formed in the extension of the end screw 9, radially passing through the rotating bezel 8 and angularly distributed around it.
- These pegs 9a are engaged in an annular groove 10 on the face side of the annular recess 6.
- An annular groove 11 parallel to the annular groove 10 serves to receive a 0-ring seal 12.
- a second seal 13 is housed in a groove annular 23, formed in the underside of the telescope rotating 8.
- this seal 13 has a semi-circular section, its flat face being glued in the bottom of the groove 23.
- the shape of the seal 13 and the bonding thereof allow increase its service life and facilitate rotation of the rotating bezel 8 in both directions.
- the joint 12, as for it is preferably an O-ring seal.
- This rotating bezel 8 has another projecting annular part 8a at the end of which an edge teeth 8b is provided, this part annular 8a being housed in the annular groove 7.
- This groove 7 communicates with a cylindrical housing 14, whose axis of revolution coincides with the axis of the rod winder 15.
- This winding rod 15 has a square section 15a which crosses an opening of same section, centered on the axis of a pinion 16 meshing with teeth 8b.
- a closing member 17, carrying a tube 18 provided with a 0-ring seal 19 intended to cooperate with a winding crown 20 is fitted into the housing cylindrical 14 by two screws (not shown), fixed in the middle part 3 on either side of the winding stem 15. Therefore, the pinion 16 is axially fixed between two stops formed by the bottom of the cylindrical housing 14 on the one hand, and the internal face of the closing member 17.
- the lateral face of the latter has a groove 17a in which is housed a 0-ring seal 24.
- Spacers, 21, 22, for example nylon can be arranged on the side and other of this pinion 16 to avoid seizing. Thanks to this arrangement, the square section section 15a of the winding stem 15 can slide freely through the opening of the pinion 16 and it remains in engagement with the toothing 8b of the rotating bezel. Therefore, the rod of winder 15 can occupy different positions, two or three for winding, setting the time, or even setting the date, like a normal winding stem, the binding kinematics remaining constantly established between the telescope rotating 8 and the winding stem 15, via pinion 16 integral in rotation with this rod 15 thanks to section 15a of square section.
- winding mechanism and time setting is fully protected against infiltration water and dust through seals, thus protecting this mechanism from deterioration or seizure of moving parts rotating bezel 8 and pinion 16.
