Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of assembly and fixing a casing circle in a watch box, this box comprising a background and a middle. It also relates to a casing circle made to satisfy this assembly process.
  • the document CH 688 926 describes a timepiece movement housed in a casing circle whose periphery has bosses and whose peripheral wall has recesses located opposite these bosses so as to allow the elastic deformation of the circle at the level of bosses when this circle is introduced into the box. It is thus possible to obtain a perfect radial adjustment of the movement in its box without it be necessary to meet close tolerances.
  • This document proposes also means for positioning the height of the circle relative to the box, means in which the axial adjustment is also carried out by bosses coming to rest against the bottom of the box, these bosses being followed by recesses made in the thickness of the circle and allowing the elastic deformation of said bosses. The vertical play of the circle by report to the box can thus be caught.
  • FIG. 3 A casing circle 3 made of a deformable material plastically.
  • it may be a material known as Hostaform®.
  • circle 3 with integrated positioning means, come from material with the circle, these means being likely to position the circle 3 relative to the box 6.
  • These means are referenced 60 in the Figure 4 and 70 in Figure 3, figures which are sections respectively according to lines IV-IV and III-III of figure 2. That being acquired and after having housed the movement 2 in circle 3, we introduce this circle 3 in box 6, which will cause plastic deformation of the positioning means 60 and 70.
  • the first device can make use, according to the invention, of the plastic deformation and the second to different means known to the skilled person. Conversely, this first device can use means known to the watchmaker and the second can use plastic deformation according to the present invention.
  • the first means for to axially position the circle 3 relative to the box 6 consist of a plurality of points 60, 61, 62 and 63 in the form of cones and arranged under the circle 3.
  • four points were chosen and arranged at equal distance from each other to ensure that the circle 3 on the bottom 1 is properly seated.
  • the points 60 to 63 come crash and deform plastically against the bottom 1 of the box until that the circle occupies a determined axial position relative to the box.
  • the cones 60 to 63 no longer end in spikes as shown in Figure 8, but by beads 64, as can be see Figures 1 and 4.
  • Figure 10 is a perspective view along arrow X in FIG. 9, it can be seen that the second means consist of two prisms 70 and 71 which emerge from the outer wall 80 of the circle 3. These prisms, of which we have greatly exaggerated here the volume to make them very apparent, are elongated in the direction of the axis of the circle and each have an edge 81 and 82. These are the edges which crash and deform plastically against the inner wall 83 of the middle part 7 when the circle 3 is introduced in box 6. This situation is shown in Figure 3 where the line in dotted line shows the edge 81 of the prism 70 before deformation. After this introduction, the circle 3 is positioned radially and fixed in the box 6.
  • Figure 2 shows that the prisms 70 and 71 are located on either side else from the 9 o'clock position of the circle. This arrangement allows precisely position the circle 3 in a reference region which is located at 3 o'clock, where is the rod 33 ( Figure 1), the window 40 of the calendar ( Figure 2) and the lens (not shown) of the ice surmounting this counter if it exists.
  • the figures show bosses 90 to 94 elongated in the direction of the axis of the circle and distributed over the outer wall 80 of this circle. They are formed so as not to deform when we introduce the circle in the box.
  • two bosses 90 and 91 are located on either side of the 3 o'clock position to guarantee a precise position of the circle relative to the rod 33 which sees the passage opening 100 in FIG. 2.
  • the bosses 92 and 94 ensure a precise position of circle 3 in the midday-6 o'clock axis.
  • the present invention also relates to the circle casing as such and which allows the assembly described above.
  • This circle is made of plastically deformable material. It has spikes 90 to 93 arranged under it which come to crash and deform plastically against the bottom 1 to ensure the circle an axial position determined.
  • the circle finally comprises at least one prism 70 emerging from its outer wall 80, these premiums each having an edge 81 coming from crash and deform plastically against the inner wall 83 of the middle 7 to ensure a determined radial position and fix the circle in the box.
