Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch-phone glass comprising a keyboard formed in particular of a plurality of capacitive sensors.
  • the watch described comprises a housing, a glass and at least one manual control device comprising a capacitive sensor provided with an electrode disposed on the inner face of the glass.
  • This manual control device also comprises a voltage-frequency converter whose oscillation frequency is determined by the capacity mentioned above.
  • the electrode is connected by a conductor to the converter which is housed in the housing.
  • the keyboard in question may be intended to replace the usual external control means such as pushbuttons used to control the various functions of a watch, such as setting the time or the engagement and the triggering of a chronograph . It will be understood, however, that this keyboard can also be used as a dialer to dial a telephone number if the watch is equipped with a radio telephone.
  • the watch-phone which will be discussed below preferably has a plastic box surmounted by an ice also made of plastic.
  • This transparent ice cream reveals hour and minute hands at its center and numbers and signs in its periphery, these figures and signs serving both time indexes and telephone dialing numbers.
  • the plastic windows of currently known watches generally have a sufficient thickness, firstly to withstand the shocks of external agents and secondly to withstand a certain hydrostatic pressure when this watch is immersed. The manufacturer gave himself a limit of 3 bars for this pressure. It will be understood therefore that these constraints require the use of a rather thick ice preventing the proper operation of the keyboard affixed under the ice. Indeed, a thick ice leads to a large dielectric interposed between the electrodes of the capacitor formed by the sensor and the finger of the user. Thus, the variation of capacity can be low, or even insignificant if this dielectric is important.
  • the ice of the invention is remarkable in that it comprises a thick zone and a thinned zone, the keyboard being disposed under the thinned zone.
  • the thick zone is disposed at the center of the ice and the thinned zone at its periphery.
  • the figure 1 is a top view of the watch-phone including the ice of the invention.
  • This watch comprises a box 20 made of plastic material from which spring two strands 21 and 22 of a bracelet preferably made of a piece with the box.
  • the box is surmounted by a telescope 10 itself surmounted by an ice 1.
  • the watch displays the hours and minutes by means of hands 23 and 24.
  • the setting of the hour hands is carried out by a crown 25 .
  • the figure 2 is a cut practiced in the figure 1 and shows a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the lens 1 comprises a keyboard 2 formed in particular of a plurality of capacitive sensors 3 arranged under the lens 1 and which will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. figure 4 .
  • the ice 1 has a thick zone 4 at its center and a thinned zone 5 at its periphery, the keyboard 2 being disposed under the thinned zone 5.
  • the ice 1 of the invention is provided with two distinct zones.
  • the thick zone 4 is located in the center of the ice. This is the area most exposed to shocks from external agents such as objects encountered during movements of the wearer's arm, the edge of a table or a tool for example. This area can be thickened at will to resist the shocks mentioned.
  • the thinned area 5 under which is affixed the keyboard 2 is located on the periphery of the ice where it has been found that the shocks of external agents are less frequent and also less intensive.
  • the thickness of the ice can be reduced within reasonable limits, one of these limits, however, residing in the hydrostatic pressure that it is desired to be supported by the ice (the value of 3 bars).
  • the thinning of the zone 5 is favorable for the proper functioning of the keyboard 2, since the dielectric interposed between the operator's finger and the capacitive sensors is reduced, which would not be the case. if the thinned zone 5 was of the same thickness as the thick zone 4.
  • the ice 1 is preferably round, which leads the thinned zone 5 to a ring shape under which is disposed the keyboard 2.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show that the keyboard 2 has a first decorative layer 6.
  • This decorative layer is opaque to show nothing of the layer below it and will be described below.
  • the decorative layer is furthermore composed of digits 7 ranging from 1 to 10 (or zero if preferred) and signs 8, namely a star * and a sharp # which all appear through the ice 1 under the thinned zone 5. It has been understood that these numbers and signs serve as both time and dialing numbers.
  • a second layer 9 is disposed under the first layer 6. This second layer 9 is formed, as shown in FIG. figure 4 of a plurality of conductive pads 3 (in this case 12 pads).
  • each digit 7 or sign 8 corresponds to a conductive pad 3.
  • the conductive pads 3 each have a terminal 30 which allows to connect them individually, via a connector "Zebra" 31 (registered trademark) to a printed circuit 12 (see Figures 2 and 3 ).
  • the first and second layers 6 and 9 are arranged one after the other under the thinned zone 5 of the ice 1. These deposits are made by means known in the art, for example serigraphy, tampongraphy or else transfer. To ensure an easy operation, it will be ensured that the underside of the thinned zone is free of any roughness or abrupt change of level when moving from the thick zone 4 to the thinned zone 5 (see the smooth transition marked by the reference 32 on the Figures 2 and 3 ).
  • the second embodiment of the invention is shown in figure 3 .
  • the figure 3 shows that the ice 1 is fixed on a telescope 10, this fixing being carried out, for example, by means of ultrasound.
  • the figure 3 still shows that the bezel 10 has an internal reinforcement 11.
  • This reinforcement 11 extends under the thinned zone 5 of the ice 1, so that the keyboard 2 is sandwiched between the thinned zone 5 and the reinforcement 11. This reinforcement is intended to make the ice 1 even more resistant shock or pressure.
