Definitions
- the present invention relates to an articulated electronic watch, that is to say comprising two juxtaposed boxes which are assembled to each other in an articulated manner.
- the present invention aims to allow the production of a watch comprising several clearly separated boxes, but having a particularly light appearance, allowing many variants, easily adaptable to the wearer's arm and making it possible to seal by simple means. .
- an articulated watch of the type comprising:
- This watch is characterized in that said connecting means are formed by two bars which are arranged on either side of the boxes, which include an internal channel for the passage of electrical conductors and whose ends are mounted free to rotate, but locked in translation, in four holes made in the middle of the boxes along two substantially parallel axes, at the rate of two coaxial holes per box.
- the ends of the bars are provided with a seal placed inside a groove formed in their part which passes through the bore of the middle part, while the ends of the channels opening into the boxes are closed. tightly.
- the channels can also be filled with an organic material in which the electrical conductors are embedded.
- each bar has an end portion projecting inside the boxes which has a groove cooperating with a key in order to prevent axial displacement of the bar.
- this terminal portion also includes means for limiting the rotational movement of the bar.
- Each bar is advantageously formed of a hollow middle part and two end parts which consist of a cylindrical tube fixed to the middle part.
- This comprises a bottom provided with two holes in which the tubes are fixed, walls substantially perpendicular to the bottom and a cap surrounding these walls.
- FIG. 1 shows an overview of a watch according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows, in a section through the thickness of the watch of Figure 1, a connecting bar with the parts of boxes in which its ends are engaged; and - Figures 3 and 4 are enlarged partial views of Figure 2 respectively along lines III-III and IV-IV.
- the electronic watch 10 represented in FIG. 1 comprises two identical boxes, one upper 12, the other lower 14, substantially in the shape of a semicircle, with a rounded portion 16 and a rectilinear portion 18. They each contain a movement analog quartz (not shown).
- the rectilinear portions 18 of the two boxes are parallel to each other but not in contact, so that there remains between them a sufficiently large empty space 20, typically 1 to 2 mm, to clearly show that 'These are two completely separate and independent boxes.
- the boxes 12 and 14 are joined by two lateral bars 22 which are perpendicular to their rectilinear portions 18 and are fixed symmetrically, in an articulated manner, around two parallel axes A, by each of their ends, in four holes provided on the rounded portions 16, at the rate of two coaxial holes per box.
- the bars 22 serve, in addition, to pass between the two boxes of conductive son ensuring the electrical connection between their respective movements. They will be described in detail with reference to Figures 2 to 4.
- the boxes 12 and 14 each comprise, in a conventional manner, a pair of horns 24 respectively serving for the attachment of the two strands of a bracelet 26.
- Each box 12 and 14 has a crystal, not visible in the drawing, coated internally in its part adjoining the rectilinear portion 18, of a mask 28 whose utility will appear later.
- the upper box 12 is equipped with a half-dial 30 at the front of which are an hour hand 32 and a minute hand 34.
- the lower box 14 is equipped with a half-dial 36 front of which are an hour hand 38 and a minute hand 40.
- the upper half-dial 30 has marks for displaying the time between 9 and 3 hours, while the lower half-dial 36 has marks for the 'time display between 3 and 9 hours. Together, they therefore constitute the normal dial of a watch.
- Each of the analog movements placed in the boxes includes, for driving each hand, a motor and a gear train.
- One of them contains the electronic circuit controlling the four motors in a coordinated manner, while the other contains the battery for the power supply of the assembly.
- the upper box 12 displays the hours between 9 and 3 and the minutes between 45 and 15, while the lower box 14 displays the hours between 3 and 9 and the minutes between 15 and 45.
- the watch of the Figure 1 displays 9 hours using the needle 32 of the upper case 12, and 20 minutes using the hand 40 of the lower case 14.
- the minute hand 34 and the hour hand 38 are then hidden by masks 28.
- the electronic circuit quickly brings it back, by a rotation slightly greater than 180 °, in a waiting position behind the mask 28. It is then the needle of the other box that takes over.
- FIGS. 2 to 4 represent the manner in which the bars 22 ensure not only the articulated mechanical connection between the two boxes while preserving their tightness, but also their electrical connection by providing passages for a plurality of conductive wires 42 .
- the boxes 12 and 14 each have a bottom 44 and a middle part 46 which is pierced, along the axis A, with a cylindrical channel receiving a socket 48. It is necessary note that this is not essential but that in its absence, the precision of the mechanism may be insufficient to seal the passage.
- the bar 22 is formed of a middle part 22a perpendicular to the axes A and two end parts 22b respectively coaxial with these axes.
- the middle part 22a comprises a bottom 50 whose ends have a clearance taking place on the sockets 48, walls 52 perpendicular to the bottom 50, and a cap 54 surrounding the walls 52 on which it is glued or welded.
- a channel 56 is thus formed between the bottom 50 and the cap 54.
- each end portion 22b consists of a cylindrical tube 58 driven in leaktight manner at its end in a hole made in the bottom 50.
- the tube 58 is itself engaged in the socket 48 inside which it is adjusted so that it can rotate freely.
- the tube 58 also comprises, in its median part which passes through the sleeve 48, a first groove receiving a seal 60 and, at its other end, located inside the box, a second groove for the engagement of a key 62 which allows the articulated fixing of the bar.
- the tube 58 comprises, between the internal face of the sleeve 48 and the key 62, two diametrically opposed dishes 64 which cooperate with an elongated plate 66 provided with an oblong hole 68. This plate is held in place by a washer 70 interposed between it and the key 62.
- a groove 72 formed in the internal face of the middle part, in which the plate 66 is engaged and whose width is significantly greater than that of said plate, which allows the pivoting of the bar over a certain amplitude.
- the conductive wires 42 pass from one box to the other via the channel 56. They are distributed in the two bars 22, one being used, for example, for the supply conductors and the other for the control conductors.
- the shape of the cap 54 can, for reasons of aesthetic effect, be quite complex, it is difficult to ensure a perfectly sealed connection of the system. Also, it is advantageous to close the holes of the tubes 58, for example by means of a point of adhesive 74 disposed at the end of these holes inside the box. Alternatively, the bar can be simply filled with an organic material in which the electrical conductors are embedded.
- the electrical connection son 42 can be simply soldered on printed circuits 76 that comprise the two movements. It would also be possible to attach terminals to the ends of the wires, which are then screwed onto the printed circuits. In another variant, the electrical connection could also be achieved by means of a flexible printed circuit.
- the watch includes a display by hands in the two boxes. It goes without saying that other variants could be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention. It would thus be possible to place a needle display in one box and a digital display in the other, controlled by one and the same quartz, or even to have in one of the boxes an energy source provided with a generator. and in the other a classic electronic movement.
