- the watch 1 in order to electrically connect the SIM card 10 to the electronic module 5 disposed inside the casing 2, the watch 1 according to the present invention further comprises electrical connection means 6 integrated mainly in a strand of the bracelet 3, in the occurrence, the first strand of bracelet 31 in this example.
- These electrical connection means 6 are shown schematically in broken lines in the Figures 2a and 2b .
- These electrical connection means 6 can advantageously be made in the form of conductive tracks deposited on a flexible dielectric substrate, for example by a photolithography process. Alternatively, these electrical connection means 6 can also be made in the form of a set of separate conductive wires.
- the radio telephone watch 1 further comprises a device 7 ensuring the closure of the bracelet 3 around the wrist of the user.
- this device 7 is for example made, without limitation, in the form of a clasp comprising a pin buckle through which passes the second strand 32 of the bracelet 3.
- the device 7 ensuring the closure of the bracelet 3 can be directly associated with the rack 4.
- the rack 4 comprises a body 41 in which the SIM card 10 can be housed, and a movable member 42 ensuring a closure of the rack 4.
- the body 41 and the movable member 42 work together to provide a maintains the SIM card 10 when it is inserted into the body 41.
- the mobile element 42 is formed of a lid and is thus rotatably mounted by one of its ends by means of an axis 401 secured to the body 41.
- the closure of the movable member 42 on the body 41 is provided, without limitation, by a conventional latching system 4A.
- Other systems for closing the movable member 42 on the body 41 can easily be envisaged. So, this movable element 42 may, for example, alternatively be designed as a slide adapted to slide in a groove in the body 41.
- the body 41 is connected to the first strand of bracelet 31 via a fastening system 4B of conventional type comprising in particular a fastening pin 402.
- the body 41 preferably has a recess 431 whose shape substantially limits any rotation of the attached end of the first bracelet strand 31. This is desirable because of the presence of the electrical connection means 6 integrated in the first strand of bracelet 31 which penetrate into the body 41 at this level. fastener 4B. It is indeed desirable to limit the rotation of the first strand of bracelet 31 at the level of the fastener 4B in order to prevent shear failure of the electrical connection means 6.
- the body 41 essentially comprises a first housing 411 intended to receive the SIM card 10 and has dimensions similar to the latter.
- This first housing 411 comprises in particular an oblique edge 412 intended to collaborate with the oblique edge 12 of the SIM card 10 so as to ensure that the orientation of the card in this first housing 411 is such that it, and in particular its terminals 14, face a second housing 414 formed in the body 41.
- the body 41 further comprises a through hole 415, one end of which opens at the fastener 4B of the first strand of bracelet 31 and the other end of which opens into the second housing 414, so as to allow the passage of the connection means 6 electric integrated in the first strand of bracelet 31.
- this embodiment is in no way limiting. It is, in fact, alternately possible to form, also by photolithography, contact zones, respectively connected to the conductive tracks, directly on an extension of the dielectric substrate 63 disposed, in this case, at the bottom of the second housing 414, and of ensure electrical contact between these contact areas and the terminals 14 of the SIM card 10 by means of contact blades carried, for example, by an intermediate element disposed in the second housing 414 instead of the printed circuit 43.
- a seal 46 is disposed between the body 41 and the mobile element 42. This seal 46 is disposed in a channel 47 surrounding the first housing 411 of the body 41.
- the sealing of the compartment 4 at the through orifice 415 can be ensured directly by the contact existing between the end of the first strand of bracelet 31 and the recess 431 formed in the body 41, as illustrated in FIG. the example of Figures 3a to 3c .
- the seal can be ensured by a silicone bonding made in the through hole 415 after mounting of the connection means 6.
- the device ensuring the closure of the bracelet 3 is formed of a clasp 7 comprising a loop 71 and a barb 72 collaborating with orifices in the second strand of bracelet 32.
- the clasp 7 is further advantageously articulated to the body 41 of the rack 4 by means of an axis 403.
- the clasp 7 is also advantageously associated with the rack 4 so that the loop 71 exerts pressure on the movable member 42 through the second strap strand 32 and thus ensure that the movable member 42 does not open unexpectedly.
- the loop 71 of the clasp 7 thus ensures not only the closing of the bracelet 31 but also a proper maintenance of the SIM card 10 in its locker 4.
- the loop 71 of the clasp 7 can, once the bracelet strand 32 has been withdrawn, easily pivot in a position (shown schematically in phantom in the diagram). figure 3b ) permitting movement of the movable member 42.
- the movable element 82 is formed, in this example, a lid rotatably mounted on the body 81 by one of its ends by means of an axis 801.
- the closure of this movable element 82 is provided by a snap-in system 8A similar to the system used in the previous variant.
- the barb 92 is arranged to directly exert pressure on the movable member 82 when the watch is worn on the wrist, so that any inadvertent opening of the movable member 82 is prevented.
- the barb 92 in order to introduce or withdraw the SIM card 10 from the rack 8, the barb 92 can, once the bracelet strand 32 has been removed, easily pivot in a position (shown schematically in phantom in the diagram). figure 4b ) for permitting movement of the movable member 82.
- a power supply source (battery, rechargeable accumulator, etc.) of the radio telephone watch can advantageously be arranged in the rack hosting the SIM card.
- the SIM card comprises, as already mentioned, six terminals (terminals 14 on the figure 1 ) connected internally to an electronic chip, two of these terminals being commonly used to supply power to this chip.
- a power source of the radio telephone watch can thus advantageously be associated with the SIM card and the electrical connection means, and thus be integrated in the rack of the radio telephone watch according to the present invention.
- This power source 120 is thus disposed in a housing formed in the body 141.
- this power source 120 is associated with a printed circuit 143 providing an electrical connection between the terminals 14 of the SIM card 10 and the electrical connection means 6.
- this printed circuit 143 thus provides a parallel connection to the power source 120.
- This variant can significantly reduce the size and dimensions of the case of the radio phone watch because the power source is typically a relatively bulky item. Moving to the level of the locker accommodating the SIM card also makes it possible to better balance the radio telephone watch around the wrist of the user.
