Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an analog display timepiece enabling the reading of a first conventional time indication by means of hours and minutes indicating organs, as well as the simultaneous reading of a second time indication based on a Decimal system according to which the time is divided at least in thousandths of days.
  • a general object of the present invention is to propose an analog display timepiece conventionally comprising a pair of hours and minutes indicating member for displaying a conventional time indication (for example the local time) and also permitting a reading. simultaneous time indication based on the abovementioned decimal system.
  • the timepiece described in this document CH 690 254 does not require any particular modification with respect to a conventional universal timepiece, such as the universal timepiece described in the document CH 451 827 .
  • This document presents a universal timepiece with analog display with hour and minute hands, and an additional 24-hour hand rotating next to a rotating outer bezel bearing the inscriptions of the twenty-four time zones. .
  • the timepiece CH 690 254 has a major disadvantage, especially for its application to a wristwatch, in that the user can not obtain an accurate indication of the time based on the decimal system. Indeed, given the small size of a wristwatch, it is in practice impossible to readlegibly a large number of graduations on the bezel (or on the dial of the room). As can be seen from the figures 2 and 3 of the document CH 690 254 graduation marks are practiced every five thousandths of a day at best, that is to say for intervals of time equivalent to 432 seconds, a little more than seven minutes. Given the dimensions, it is practically impossible to practice a higher number of graduation marks (in this case 200 marks). At this resolution, reading of the time indication is random and read errors of several tens of minutes may result.
  • the present invention thus relates to an analog display timepiece whose characteristics are set forth in independent claim 1.
  • the time indication based on the decimal system is obtained by the combined use of the minute indicating member and complementary analog display means indicating at least the approximate decimal value, expressed in thousandths of a day, full hours (1h, 2h, ..., 23h, 24h), or every 41 or 42 thousandths of a day (1 hour equals about 41.7 thousandths of a day) at least.
  • the minute indicating member indicates, on the one hand, the minute as is conventionally the case, and, on the other hand, a value corresponding decimal which is added to the approximate decimal value indicated by the complementary analog display means.
  • the minute indicating member and the additional display member provide the user with a sufficiently precise time indication for the it can be based on this decimal time indication in the optics of making appointments in particular.
  • the approximate decimal values are carried by a rotationally adjustable display member, independently of the hours and minutes indicating bodies, to allow correction of the decimal time indication according to the time zone where the user is located. .
  • the decimal time indication is indicated by the indicator organs of minutes and hours used to read the conventional time indication.
  • the complementary analog display means then use an additional display member adjustable in rotation on which at least the indications of the approximate decimal values of the full hours (cf. Figures 1 to 3 , and 8).
  • the decimal time indication is indicated by the minutes indicating member and by an additional member driven by the movement other than the hours indicating member.
  • an additional indicator member driven by the movement this indicator member being associated with a display member preferably rotatable on which appear at least the indications of approximate decimal values of the full hours (cf. Figures 4 to 6 ).
  • the other variant is to drive directly by the movement the display member on which appear the indications of the approximate decimal values, the indicator member being replaced in this case by a fixed index reported on the timepiece (cf. figure 7 ).
  • the figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a timepiece according to the invention.
  • the timepiece is in the form of a wristwatch with an analog display generally indicated by the reference numeral 1.
  • This wristwatch 1 comprises in particular and typically a box-middle part 2 containing a movement (no shown), a telescope 2a, an ice cream 3, first analog display means comprising a dial 5 and first and second hours and minutes indicating members 4a, 4b driven by the movement (here a pair of hour hands). and minutes), and a time-setting crown 6.
  • the movement used in the illustrated timepiece is a conventional 12-hour movement, i.e. entire revolution in twelve hours. It will be understood, however, that the invention is also applicable to a timepiece having a 24-hour movement in which the indicator member performs an entire revolution in twenty-four hours.
  • the timepiece further comprises second analog display means for simultaneous reading of a time indication based on a decimal system in which the time is divided at least in thousandths of a day.
  • the time consists of a three-digit number varying between "000” and “999", "000” corresponding to midnight, winter time, to the meridian passing through the city of Biel in Switzerland, hereinafter referred to as BMT (Biel Mean Time) by analogy to the abbreviation GMT, the average Greenwich time.
  • the second analog display means in particular share the dial 5 as well as the minutes indicating member 4b with the first analog display means.
  • This minute indicator organ 4b is used in conjunction with complementary analog display means forming the remaining portion of the second display means for forming the decimal time indication.
  • the complementary analog display means comprises the hour indicator member 4a and an additional display member adjustable in rotation, indicated by the numeral 7, formed in this example of a disc-like indicator disc of the days which is mounted concentrically to the indicator members 4a, 4b.
  • this display member 7 is not rotated by the movement and is subdivided into a different number of angular sectors. The angular position of this display member 7 is simply adjusted through the setting ring 6.
  • the mechanism used to allow this rotational adjustment is analogous to a conventional mechanism for correcting the well-known day of the person skilled in the art and will therefore not be described here.
  • the dial 5 commonly carries a plurality of indexes regularly distributed on its periphery and providing an indication of hours and minutes. In addition to these indications, the dial also has corresponding decimal values 51 over a total duration of sixty minutes. Expressed in thousandths of days, sixty minutes equals approximately 41.7 thousandths of a day. In this example, the dial is thus graduated every thousandths of days from "0" to "41" next to the graduations of the minutes.
  • the display member 7 is regularly subdivided into twelve angular sectors each carrying first and second approximate decimal values 71 corresponding to the full hours. Midnight BMT is indicated by the decimal value "000", 1h BMT by the approximate decimal value "042", 2h BMT by the approximate decimal value "083", etc., until 23h BMT which is indicated by the decimal value approximated "958". Since, in this example, the hour indicator organ 4a is used to derive the decimal time indication, this hour indicating member performing a revolution every twelve hours in this example, the display member 7 carries, in each angular sector, a pair of decimal values separated from each other by twelve hours, that is to say 500 thousandths of a day.
  • the display member 7 is adjusted for the time zone comprising the meridian of Bienne, that is to say that the pair of decimal values "000-500” is positioned at noon.
  • a user located in New York (- 6h compared to the city of Bienne) will have to position the display member 7 so that the pair of decimal values "000-500” is at 6 o'clock.
  • a user located in Moscow (+ 2h compared to the city of Bienne) will have to position the display member 7 so that the pair of decimal values "000-500” is at 2 o'clock.
  • the time indication based on the abovementioned decimal system is formed by adding the decimal values indicated respectively by the minute indicator member 4b and the hour indicator member 4a.
  • the time shown is 12:47 (PM).
  • the decimal value indicated on the dial 5 by the minute indicator member 4b is thus a little more than 32 thousandths of a day and the approximate decimal value indicated on the display member 7 by the hour indicator member 4a. is "500".
  • the total decimal value obtained by addition is 532 thousandths of a day, which corresponds to the equivalent, expressed in thousandths of a day, from 12:47 to the meridian of Bienne.
  • the figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention constituting a variant of the first embodiment of the figure 1 .
  • the difference lies here in the angular disposition of the indications of approximate decimal values 71 on the display member, here indicated by the reference numeral 7 *.
  • the approximate decimal values 71 are angularly shifted by 15 ° to the right so that the hours indicating member 4a always points in a given sector, here the angular sector comprising the pair of decimal values "000-500".
  • indicator disk used in the embodiments of the figures 1 and 2 can be replaced by any other rotatable indicator member, such as a rotating outer bezel for example. As illustrated in figure 3 .
  • the subdivisions of the display member 7, 7 * illustrated in the first and second embodiments of FIGS. figures 1 and 2 are in no way limiting. It is possible to alternatively subdivide the display member into 2 ⁇ 12, 3 ⁇ 12, 4 ⁇ 12 angular sectors or more, that is to say with time intervals of 30, 20, or 15 minutes between them. various approximate decimal values indicated on the display member. Note in particular that a subdivision every 30 or 15 minutes advantageously take into account the existence of time zones whose jet lag is not an integer multiple of one hour.
  • the display member (7, 7 *) can be subdivided into figures 1 and 2 respectively) in N x12 regular angular sectors, N being an integer, the approximate decimal values being indicated successively in each angular sector of the display member, in ascending and clockwise order, with equivalent time intervals. at 60 / N minutes.
  • the dial 5 is likewise subdivided into N equal angular sectors each indicating the corresponding decimal values of the minutes over a period of 60 / N minutes for each angular sector.
  • the figure 3 shows a third embodiment of the invention using a principle of embodiment similar to the principle employed for the embodiments of the figures 1 and 2 .
  • the display member is adjustable in rotation, in the form of an indicator disk in the figures 1 and 2 is, in this example, formed of a rotating outer bezel indicated generally by the numeral 8.
  • the approximate decimal values indicated are thus successively, in the clockwise direction, "000”, “021”, “042”, “063”, ..., “938", “958", “979”.
  • the dial 5 is thus also subdivided into two angular sectors each having a scale of "0" to "20", one marked 51a, extending from 12h to 6h, and the other, marked 51b, extending from 6h to 12h clockwise.
  • the hours and minutes indicating organs 4a and 4b respectively indicate the decimal values "521" and "11" approximately, that is to say 532 thousandths of a day after addition.
  • an AM / PM indicator mechanism well known to those skilled in the art, set to Bienne, can thus be used.
  • Such a mechanism may for example comprise an indicator organ performing a revolution per twenty-four hours rotating opposite an AM / PM subdivision (or alternatively 0 / + 500).
  • the timepiece comprises a disk 75 superimposed on the display member 7 bearing the approximate decimal values 71 of the full hours. Part of the disc 75 has not been shown to reveal the display member 7.
  • This disc 75 is provided with a first series of openings 76 (here in number of twelve) through which can appear, for a given angular position of the disc 75, the first approximate decimal values indicated in the various angular sectors of the display member 7 (here the values "000" to "458").
  • the disk 75 is provided with a second series of openings 77 (also twelve in number) angularly offset (by 15 ° in this example) with respect to the first series of openings 76 and through which it may appear, for a other given angular position of the disk 75, the second approximate decimal values indicated in the angular sectors of the display member 7 (here the values "500" to "958").
  • the second series of openings 77 reveals the second decimal values "500” to "958", while the first series of openings 76 is shifted relative to the indications of the approximate decimal values 71, the disc 75 thus masking the first approximate decimal values "000" to "458".
  • the disk 75 is driven so that it performs, every twelve hours, a rotation of an angular step alternately bringing the first series of openings 76 and the second series of openings 77 above respectively the first and second Approximate Decimal Values 71.
  • a complete revolution of the disk 75 is performed in twelve days, i.e., in twenty-four angular steps of 15 ° each. It will thus be understood that the disk 75 makes it possible to mask, by alternating twelve hours, the first or second approximate decimal values 71 indicated on the display member that can be adjusted in rotation 7.
  • the complementary analogue display means do not call on the hour indicator member 4a but on an additional member driven by the movement.
  • the figure 4 thus presents a fourth embodiment of the invention corresponding to this second embodiment.
  • the timepiece illustrated in this figure comprises, in accordance with what has already been mentioned above, a box-middle 2, an ice 3, organs indicating the hours and minutes 4a, 4b, a dial 5 and a crown 6.
  • This timepiece further comprises an additional indicator member 4c driven by the movement (here in the form of a needle) making a revolution every twenty-four hours and a body of additional display 9 concentrically mounted to the hours and minutes indicating bodies 4a, 4b below the dial 5.
  • This additional display member 9 carries inscriptions, labeled 91, approximate decimal values of the full hours expressed in thousandths of a day. These inscriptions 91 are visible through a plurality of wickets 5a, in this example to the number of twenty-four, formed in the dial 5.
  • the display member carrying the indications of the decimal values can be subdivided into N ⁇ 24 regular angular sectors, N being an integer as before, the values approximated decimals being successively indicated in each angular sector of the indicator organ, in ascending order and in clockwise, with time intervals equivalent to 60 / N minutes.
  • the dial 5 is likewise subdivided into N equal angular sectors each indicating the corresponding decimal values of the minutes over a period of 60 / N minutes for each angular sector.

  • the decimal time indication is formed by adding the decimal values indicated by the additional display member 9 and the indicating member 4c, on the one hand, and the indicating member minutes 4b and the dial 5, on the other hand, in this example again "500” and "32", or 532 thousandths of a day after addition.
  • the additional indicator member 4c it is not necessary for the additional indicator member 4c to be adjustable independently of the minutes and hours indicating members, provided that the display member 9 carrying the approximate decimal values 91 is rotatable. Nevertheless, it is perfectly possible to dispense with the use of a rotationally adjustable display member and to practice the inscriptions of the approximate decimal values directly on the dial (or on a bezel of the timepiece), in which case it is then necessary that the indicating member additional 4c is adjustable independently of the indicator organs of minutes and hours.
  • the solution of entering the approximate decimal values on a display member adjustable in rotation has certain advantages. Indeed, as illustrated in the figure 4 , by applying inscriptions, labeled 21, twenty-four hours (1h, 2h, ... 24h) opposite the various positions of the approximate decimal values 91 written on the display member 9 (in this case on a telescope 2a of the timepiece), the user has a simple and direct correspondence between the conventional and decimal time indications. In particular, the user can obtain an approximate conversion between the conventional duodecimal system and the decimal system. Indeed, let us assume that the user agrees to an appointment or program the deadline of an event for "300", it will easily find that this is approximately 7 o'clock in the morning, local time, in this example .

  • the approximate decimal values indicated are thus successively, in the clockwise direction, "000”, “010”, “021”, “031”, ..., “969”, “979", “990”.
  • the dial 5 is thus also subdivided into four angular sectors each comprising a graduation of "0" to "10” extending respectively from 12h to 3h, from 3h to 6h, from 6h to 9h and 9h to 12h in the clockwise direction, these graduations being respectively indicated by the reference numerals 51a to 51d in the figure 6 .
