Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wristwatch of substantially rectangular shape comprising a box enclosing a movement, a bracelet of which a first strand is fixed on a first side of the box and a second strand is fixed on a side opposite to the first, and two flaps sliding on the box and able to be opened or closed to respectively reveal or hide said box by manual action exerted on these flaps, guide and retaining means being implemented to secure each of said flaps to the box.
  • the document CH 144 055 refers to a timepiece including a watch window. This timepiece is characterized by two sliding shutters normally covering the window and guided in two slides arranged in the box.
  • the document CH 337 138 is another example that can be cited where the described wristwatch has a sliding lid.
  • the housing is rectangular and has at its ends two studs to each of which is articulated one end of a bracelet.
  • the cover has an arcuate cross-section, the longitudinal edges of this cover being engaged in guide grooves, which hold the cover, each formed in the outer side of a longitudinal flange of the middle part flanking the window of the ice protection.
  • In the outer flank of each flange is hollowed a longitudinal groove into which a strip formed in the longitudinal edge of the arc-shaped lid penetrates.
  • the groove and the strip preferably have a triangular section.
  • the disadvantages mentioned above can be greatly reduced if it is possible to reduce the friction effect of the elements in the presence, in particular by providing different retaining means of the guide means, the construction being arranged so that the Frictional forces essentially affect only the retaining means, which is the main object of the present invention.
  • the documents consulted on the retaining means of the flap on the box are confused with the means for guiding said flap on said box.
  • the invention is characterized in that said guide and retaining means are distinct from one another and that means are used to exert under each flap a vertical force tending to apply said flap against said restraint means.
  • the wristwatch shown on the Figures 1 and 2 has a substantially rectangular shape. It comprises a box 1 enclosing a movement (not shown) surmounted by a dial 30 on which move needles hours 31 and minutes 32.
  • the watch also includes a bracelet, a first strand 2 is fixed on a first side 3 of the box 1 and a second strand 4 is fixed on a second side 5 opposite to the first side.
  • Two shutters 6 and 7 slide on the box 1 and can to be opened or closed to respectively reveal ( figure 2 ) or hide ( figure 1 ) the box 1, this by manual action exerted on the shutters 6 and 7.
  • each of the flaps 6 and 7 (here the flap 6) is secured to the box 1 by guide means 8 and retaining 9, which means will be described in detail below.
  • the flap wristwatch is distinguished here from the prior art by the fact that the guide means 8 are distinct from the retaining means as is clearly shown in FIG. figure 4 , which allows each of the flaps 6 and 7 to be applied only against the retaining means 9 if means are used to exert a vertical force F under each flap. It will be understood therefore that the friction surface between flap and box is greatly reduced if it is compared to the friction surface that is seen in the documents cited. As a result, opening the flap will be easier and will require less manual energy.
  • the ball 10 travels under the flap (see also figure 5 ) a path 12 whose ends are hollowed with a first housing 13 and a second housing 14 in which the ball 10 is able to partially penetrate to respectively notch the flap 6 in its open and closed positions.
  • the ball 10 in the open position of the flap 6, the ball 10 is in the housing 13.
  • the ball 10 leaves its housing 13 and moves along the path 12 until it falls into the housing 14 which marks the closure of the shutter. It will be noted here that when falling in the housing 13 or 14, the ball 10 sounds a click that warns the wearer of the end of an operation at the same time it gives him the impression of having a neat building object .
  • the ball 10 is made of hard material and preferably ceramic. Such a choice ensures a very long life of the mechanism before there appear signs of weakness manifested by hard points or scratches during the opening or closing movements of the shutters.
  • each flap 6 and 7 on the box 1 will be described below.
  • these retaining means 9 comprise at least two cylindrical pins 15 and 16 whose ends emerge on either side of a listel 17 integral with the box 1, and two grooves 18 and 19 formed in the flap 6 and located in on either side of the strip 17, grooves in which are engaged the ends of the pins 15 and 16.
  • the groove 18 may consist of a rail 20 attached under the flap 6 by means of screws 34 and the groove 19 consisting of a rail 21 attached under the flap 6 by means of screws 35.
  • the guide means 8 guiding each flap 6 and 7 on the side on which it is retained are shown on the figures 4 , 5 and 6 .
  • These guide means comprise two rails 22 and 23 emerging from the box 1, each of these rails being engaged in a groove 24, respectively 25, formed in the flap 6. It is clear here that the guide means 8 are independent and therefore distinct from the retaining means 9 previously described.
  • the end of the strand 2 of the bracelet is traversed by two screws 26 whose heads 40 rest on a transverse bar 41.
  • the screws 26 pass through said bar 41 and the end of the strand 2 to be screwed into a boss 42 of the box 1.
  • the boss 42 has a thread 43 in which the screw 26 is screwed.
  • the screw 26 ends with an end or extension 27 which emerges from the box 1 and engages in a milling 28 formed in the flap 6 to limit the stroke of the flap and prevent it from emerging from the box.
