Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Armbanduhr mit einem Uhrengehäuse und einem Armband, sowie mit einem das Uhrengehäuse umgebenden Ring, in dem das Uhrengehäuse gelagert ist und an dem das Armband befestigt ist, wobei zwischen dem Uhrengehäuse und dem Ring mindestens ein Federelement angeordnet ist, derart, dass das Uhrengehäuse gegenüber dem Ring entgegen der Kraft des Federelementes beweglich ist.The invention relates to a wristwatch with a watch case and a bracelet and a ring surrounding the watch case, in which the watch case is mounted and on which the bracelet is attached, wherein at least one spring element between the watch case and the ring is arranged such that the watch case opposite the ring the force of the spring element is movable.

Es sind verschiedene Massnahmen bekannt, mit denen Armbanduhren vor Beschädigungen oder Störungen durch Erschütterungen geschützt werden. Die am weitesten verbreitete dieser Massnahmen besteht darin, das Uhrwerk mittels elastischer Elemente im Uhrengehäuse zu lagern. Bei Armbanduhren dieser Gattung, bei denen sich die stossdämpfenden Elemente im Inneren des Uhrengehäuses befinden, hat der Benutzer keine Möglichkeit, die Existenz dieser Elemente von aussen zu erkennen. Auch ist bei dieser Art von Armbanduhren das Uhrengehäuses selbst mitsamt seinen äusseren Teilen, insbesondere dem Uhrenglas, durch die genannten Massnahmen nicht gegen Schläge geschützt.Various measures are known with which wristwatches be protected against damage or malfunctions caused by vibrations. The most common of these measures is the clockwork to be stored in the watch case by means of elastic elements. For wristwatches this genus, where the shock-absorbing elements are inside of the watch case, the user has no way of existence to recognize these elements from the outside. Also with this type of wristwatches the watch case itself, together with its outer parts, in particular the watch glass, by the measures mentioned not against blows protected.

Es sind auch Armbanduhren bekannt, bei denen das Armband nicht unmittelbar am Uhrengehäuse befestigt ist, sondern an einem das Uhrengehäuse mindestens teilweise umgebenden Teil. Eine solche Armbanduhr ist in der Schweizer Patentschrift CH 507 549 beschrieben. Bei dieser Armbanduhr ist zwischen dem Armband und dem Uhrengehäuse mindestens ein elastischer Ring vorhanden. Bei dieser Konstruktion sind die Bewegungen des Uhrengehäuses nicht durch Anschläge begrenzt, so dass es zu einer Überbelastung des elastischen Ringes und in der Folge zu dessen Zerstörung kommen könnte. In der Patentschrift CH 513 453 ist eine Armbanduhr beschrieben, bei der das Uhrengehäuse zwischen zwei seitlichen Teilen eingespannt ist, die durch Zugglieder miteinander verbunden sind.Wristwatches are also known in which the bracelet is not is attached directly to the watch case, but on one the watch case at least partially surrounding part. Such a wristwatch is in the Swiss patent specification CH 507 549. With this wristwatch there is at least one elastic between the bracelet and the watch case Ring present. With this construction, the movements of the watch case not limited by stops so that it overloads the elastic ring and could result in its destruction. In the patent specification CH 513 453 describes a wristwatch in which the watch case is clamped between two side parts by tension members are interconnected.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Nachteile des vorstehend erwähnten Standes der Technik zu vermeiden und eine Armbanduhr vorzuschlagen, bei der das Uhrwerk und das Uhrengehäuse mit allen seinen äusseren Teilen gegen Schläge geschützt ist und bei der insbesondere die Funktion der stossdämpfenden Elemente von aussen gut sichtbar und/oder spürbar ist.The present invention has for its object the disadvantages to avoid the above-mentioned prior art and a wrist watch propose where the clockwork and watch case with all its outer parts are protected against blows and in particular the function of the shock-absorbing elements is clearly visible from the outside and / or is noticeable.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Armbanduhr der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass das Uhrengehäuse den Ring oben und unten axial überragt und dass die Bewegung des Uhrengehäuses gegenüber dem Ring mindestens in einer Richtung durch einen zwischen dem Uhrengehäuse und dem Ring gebildeten Anschlag begrenzt ist.This task is accomplished by a wristwatch of the type mentioned Art solved in that the watch case axially the ring above and below towers and that the movement of the watch case against the ring at least in one direction by one between the watch case and the ring formed stop is limited.

Die Vorteile dieser erfindungsgemässen Armbanduhr sind insbesondere darin zu sehen, dass sowohl das Uhrwerk als auch das Uhrengehäuse und alle fest damit verbundenen Teilen wie beispielsweise eine gegebenenfalls vorhandene Lunette gegen Schläge geschützt sind, und dass zum Anbringen des mindestens einen Federelementes kein Eingriff in das Innere des Uhrengehäuses erforderlich ist. Da das Uhrengehäuse den Ring oben und unten axial überragt, kann der Benutzer der Uhr die Funktion der stossdämpfenden Elemente eindrücklich demonstrieren, indem er beispielsweise auf den Ring drückt, so dass dieser sich gegenüber dem Uhrengehäuse verschiebt, was von aussen deutlich sichtbar und/oder spürbar istThe advantages of this wristwatch according to the invention are in particular to see that both the clockwork and the watch case and all firmly connected parts such as one if necessary Existing bezel are protected against blows and that to attach the at least one spring element does not interfere with the interior of the watch case is required. Since the watch case axially the ring above and below towering over, the user of the watch can control the function of the shock-absorbing elements demonstrate impressively, for example by pressing on the ring, so that it shifts in relation to the watch case, something from the outside is clearly visible and / or noticeable

Besondere Ausführungsarten dieser erfindungsgemässen Armbanduhr sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen umschrieben.Special embodiments of this wristwatch according to the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegende Zeichnung näher erläutert.In the following, the invention is illustrated by means of exemplary embodiments and explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Die einzige Figur zeigt die Hälfte eines schematischen Querschnitts eines Ausführungsbeispiels einer erfindungsgemässen Armbanduhr.The single figure shows half of a schematic cross section an embodiment of a wristwatch according to the invention.

Das Uhrengehäuse 1 ist oben durch ein Uhrenglas 2 und unten durch einen Gehäuseboden 3 verschlossen, wobei der Gehäuseboden durch Schrauben 4 am Uhrengehäuse befestigt ist. Selbstverständlich kann der Gehäuseboden auch als normaler Schraubboden gestaltet sein. Auf der Oberseite des Gehäuses kann eine sogenannte Lunette angeordnet sein, welche das Uhrenglas 2 vor Schlägen schützt und einen dekorativen Effekt hat. Eine weitere Funktion der Lunette kann darin bestehen, dass sie Markierungen aufweist, die beispielsweise zum Merken eines bestimmten Zeitabschnitts dienen. Dazu kann die Lunette vorzugsweise drehbar mit dem Uhrengehäuse 1 verbunden sein.The watch case 1 is above through a watch glass 2 and below closed by a housing base 3, the housing base by Screws 4 is attached to the watch case. Of course, the bottom of the case can also be designed as a normal screw base. On the top the case can be arranged a so-called bezel, which the watch glass 2 protects against blows and has a decorative effect. Another The function of the bezel can be that it has markings that serve, for example, to memorize a certain period of time. This can the bezel should preferably be rotatably connected to the watch case 1.

Das Uhrengehäuse 1 ist von einem Ring 6 umgeben, an dem ein Armband in bekannter Weise befestigt ist. Das Armband und die zugehörigen Befestigungsmittel sind in der Figur nicht dargestellt. Der Ring 6 umgibt das Uhrengehäuse 1 so, dass zwischen diesen beiden Teilen sowohl radiale als auch axiale Bewegungen möglich sind. Die Bewegungen des Uhrengehäuses 1 gegenüber dem Ring 6 sind in radialer Richtung durch das Spiel zwischen diesen beiden Teilen begrenzt. Die Bewegungen des Uhrengehäuses 1 gegenüber dem Ring 6 in axialer Richtung werden dadurch begrenzt, dass das Uhrengehäuse oben radial über die lichte Weite des Ringes 6 hinaus ragt. Auf der Unterseite des Uhrengehäuses 1 steht der Gehäuseboden 3 radial über die lichte Weite des Ringes hinaus und bildet mit dem Ring 6 einen Anschlag. Beim in der Figur dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden die nach unten auf den Ring 6 gerichteten Kräfte durch ein Federelement aufgenommen, das aus einer Schraubenfeder 16 besteht, die durch einen Stift 17 beaufschlagt ist Solche Federelemente, die in einer Büchse untergebracht sind, sind unter dem Namen "Capofix" bekannt. Mehrere, beispielsweise drei solcher Federelemente können am Umfang des Ringes 6 verteilt in dafür vorgesehene Bohrungen eingesetzt sein. Natürlich können die Federelemente 16, 17 auch so eingebaut sein, dass der Stift 17 nach oben gerichtet ist und am Rand des Uhrengehäuses 1 ansteht. Um beim genannten oberen Anschlag einen direkten Kontakt zwischen dem Uhrengehäuse 1 und dem Ring 6 zu vermeiden, kann eine Scheibe 15 dazwischen angeordnet sein, wie dies aus der Figur ersichtlich ist. Ein O-Ring 11 kann vorgesehen sein, um das Uhrengehäuse im Ring 6 zu zentrieren und zu verhindern, dass sich das Uhrengehäuse 1 und der Ring 6 unter der Einwirkung von Schlägen direkt berühren können. Der O-Ring 11, wie auch die Scheibe 15, bestehen aus einem weichen Material wie Gummi, Moosgummi oder einem weichen, gegebenenfalls geschäumten Kunststoff. Die Scheibe 15 und der O-Ring 11 bilden somit zusätzliche Federelemente. The watch case 1 is surrounded by a ring 6 on which a Bracelet is attached in a known manner. The bracelet and the associated Fasteners are not shown in the figure. The ring 6 surrounds it Watch case 1 so that between these two parts both radial and axial movements are also possible. The movements of the watch case 1 are opposite the ring 6 in the radial direction by the game between them limited to both parts. The movements of the watch case 1 opposite the ring 6 in the axial direction are limited by the fact that the watch case protrudes radially above the clear width of the ring 6 above. On the bottom of the watch case 1, the case base 3 stands radially above the light Width of the ring and forms a stop with the ring 6. When in the Figure shown embodiment are the down on the ring 6th directed forces absorbed by a spring element, which from a Coil spring 16, which is acted upon by a pin 17 Such Spring elements that are housed in a can are under the name "Capofix" known. Several, for example three such spring elements can distributed around the circumference of the ring 6 in the holes provided for this purpose his. Of course, the spring elements 16, 17 can also be installed in such a way that the pin 17 is directed upwards and is applied to the edge of the watch case 1. In order to have a direct contact between the To avoid watch case 1 and the ring 6, a disc 15 in between be arranged, as can be seen from the figure. An O-ring 11 can be provided to center and close the watch case in the ring 6 prevent the watch case 1 and the ring 6 from acting from touching directly. The O-ring 11, like the disc 15, consist of a soft material such as rubber, foam rubber or a soft, possibly foamed plastic. The disc 15 and the O-ring 11 thus form additional spring elements.

Diese Anordnung erlaubt es dem Uhrengehäuse 1, äusseren Kräften, insbesondere Schlägen auszuweichen, indem es sich in bezug auf den Ring 6 bewegt. Diese Bewegungen können radial und/oder axial gerichtet sein, umfassen also auch Kippbewegungen, die durch eine einseitig auf das Uhrengehäuse ausgeübte Kraft verursacht werden können. Ist die genannte Kraft nicht mehr vorhanden, kehrt das Uhrengehäuse unter der elastischen Wirkung der Federelemente 16 wieder in die in der Figur dargestellte Ausgangslage zurück. Durch dieses elastische Nachgeben wird einerseits das Risiko mechanischer Beschädigungen durch Schläge, die auf das Uhrengehäuse einwirken, reduziert. Andererseits werden Schläge auf den Ring oder das Armband, aber auch Erschütterungen des Armes des Benutzers nur gedämpft an das Uhrengehäuse weitergegeben, wodurch Beschleunigungen des Uhrwerkes bedeutend verringert werden. Schliesslich sind die Relativbewegungen zwischen dem Uhrengehäuse 1 und dem Ring 6 von aussen gut sichtbar und für den Träger der Uhr spürbar, weil das Uhrengehäuse 1 oben und unten über den Ring 6 hinausragt.This arrangement allows the watch case 1, external forces, in particular to avoid blows by dealing with the Ring 6 moves. These movements can be directed radially and / or axially, So also include tilting movements caused by a one-sided on the watch case exerted force can be caused. Is the force mentioned no longer available, the watch case returns under the elastic effect the spring elements 16 back to the starting position shown in the figure. This elastic yield makes the risk more mechanical Damage caused by blows that affect the watch case reduced. On the other hand, there will be blows to the ring or bracelet, however vibrations of the user's arm only dampened on the watch case passed on, which accelerates the movement significantly be reduced. Finally, the relative movements between the Watch case 1 and the ring 6 clearly visible from the outside and for the wearer of the watch, because the watch case 1 above and below the ring 6 protrudes.
