Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for adjusting the orientation of a screw crown of a watch with respect to to the watch, said crown being able to assume a position unscrewed and a screwed position relative to the middle on a tube attached to the middle.
- the present invention also relates to a watch comprising such a device.
- screw crowns on watches are good known.
- the crown can take a position in which it is possible to set the time of watch, date etc. and a screwed position, which is the position in which the watch is worn, in which the crown is tightened and locked on the watch tube.
- crowns classics A problem we face with crowns classics is that it's very difficult, if not impossible, to orient permanently during the production, the corresponding threads of the middle part of the watch and of the crown so that, for each watch produced, the screwed crown, always in the same position relative to the middle. This can cause problem if the shape of the crown is not symmetrical in particular, or if the crown has a particular logo: the position of the crown or logo in relation to the middle is then different for each watch produced, once the crown is screwed down.
- the object of the invention is to improve the devices known.
- the invention aims to propose a simple system that allows fine adjustment of the position of the screwed crown in relation to the middle part, while retaining the waterproof qualities of the watch.
- Claim 6 defines a watch comprising a device according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a first mode of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a sectional view of a second mode of the invention.
- FIG 1 there is shown, by way of example, the first embodiment of the invention.
- a crown 1 which is screwed onto a tube 2, said tube itself being fixed to the middle part 3 of the watch.
- This crown may further include a logo 4, shown schematically by dashed lines.
- several joints are placed between the crown and the tube to ensure sealing, namely an O-ring 5 and a first flat seal 6 which is compressed when the crown 1 on tube 2.
- the crown 1 is screwed onto the tube 2 by via an appropriate tapping 7 in the crown 1 and a corresponding thread 8 on the tube 2.
- Means for adjusting the position of the crown 1 relative to the middle 3 of the watch include a ring 10 which is placed between the middle part 3 and tube 2.
- this ring 10 is formed from a metal alloy with shape memory, for example a nickel-titanium alloy like the "Micro-Niti" alloy from Microfil Industries S.A. Thanks to this intermediate ring, obtains a system which allows an angular adjustment of the crown 1. Indeed, using appropriately the temperature memory effect related to temperature it's possible to realize a system allowing an adjustment end which is independent of the start of the thread 8 of the tube 2 and from the start of the tapping 7 of the crown 1.
- the ring 10 closes so completely sealed the connection it makes between the middle 3 and tube 2, at room temperature and despite normal temperature differences that a shows who is being worn. So the rotation of tube 2 is locked and the position of the crown 1 screwed relative to the middle part 3 is fixed.
- Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention, in which the elements identical to first embodiment have the same references, the main difference residing in the position of the ring 10 of FIG. 1.
- the ring carries the reference 11 and is not between the tube 2 and the middle 3 (see figure 1) but between the crown 1 itself and the tube 2.
- the tube 2 is expelled so classic in the middle of the watch (not shown), and it is the ring 11 itself which supports the tapping 12 crown 1 which is intended to be screwed onto the pipe thread 2.
- memory alloy rings form is a non-limiting example. Other alloys are possible. Similarly, other equivalent systems allowing in particular to temporarily create a game between the crown and the middle of the watch are possible, the idea being to allow such a game as in particular conditions and prevent it in normal conditions of use.
