Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for fixing a dial in a watch case, or any other timepiece to allow a pre-assembly of the watch movement and the dial before assembling the others dressing pieces.
- the invention relates more particularly to such a device in which the dial is made integral with the casing ring.
- a large number of devices has already been proposed to immobilize a dial on, or between, the constituent elements of a watch case. Many features concern the pinching of the dial between one or more lower elements such platinum, a casing ring or a caseband, and one or more elements such as an escutcheon, an ice cream or a telescope. These kinds of devices are well suited for manual assembly, but are less satisfactory for a automatic or semi-automatic assembly, where it is desirable to have a pre-assembly of movement, dial and front display to assemble the elements of dressing.
- the feet dials are glued inside housings in the casing ring.
- the dial has no feet and where the collage is made directly on the surface upper circle of casing.
- the present invention therefore aims to provide a simple assembly and economic of a dial to a lower element of a watch case, especially a casing ring, using an adhesive material.
- the subject of the invention is a device for fixing a dial on a lower element of a box intended to receive a watch movement, or on a lower element contained therein.
- the device is characterized in that the lower element comprises at least two through-passages each having a first part of the dial side separated from a second part of the opposite side by a strangulation, said passages being filled throughout their first part and in at least a portion of their second portion with an adhesive material having a strong binding power with at least the material forming the underside of the dial.
- the first and second parts of the through passages constitute chimneys having their generators perpendicular to the general plane of the box, that is to say in fact at dial itself. These chimneys obviously have a contour adapted to the space available to provide through passages through the lower member.
- the axes of the first and second parts of the through passages form a broken line.
- the lower element is preferably the casing circle or radial extensions of the underside of platinum watch movement.
- the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous when making the fixing on the casing ring. Indeed, one of materials most commonly used to make casing circles is a polyoxymethylene sold by Dupont under the trade name Delrin® because of its very low coefficient of friction facilitating assembly operations. Unfortunately, this material is exceedingly difficult, not to say impossible to stick.
- the device according to the invention therefore makes it possible to benefit from its tribological qualities while allowing a collage with a dial that does not require no particular conformation, such as fixing feet.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a chronograph watch with a box to rectangular middle part 1 in which the upper closing elements (ice, bezel or back of frame) are not figured.
- the middle part 1 is provided with horns 2 allowing the attachment of a bracelet 4.
- the rectangular dial 3 was transparent.
- the chronograph watch conventionally comprises a crown 5, for example for setting an analog display time using hour-minute hands 6a, 6b and small seconds 6c on a dial at 6 o'clock.
- Function chronograph is controlled by two pushbuttons 7a, 7b, the display of timed times using a second hand at center 8, a minute counter 9a, and a counter 1/10 second 9b.
- the movement that causes the display of the time and the chronograph function will not be described as not part of the invention and may be a movement any known to those skilled in the art. In the majority of cases, the movement corresponds to a round caliber housed in a casing ring 10.
- the term “circle” is used here by extension since the outer contour is rectangular shape to fit the inner outline of the middle part 1. This construction therefore leaves four blind spots 11 that will be used for fixing of the dial as explained below with reference also to FIG.
- each crossing 12 has two parts.
- a first portion 13 forms an orifice 14 on the dial side 3; a second part 17 is connected to the first forming a constriction 15.
- the generators of the internal surfaces of each part are perpendicular to the dial 3 and the orifice 14 has a section smaller than the section of the second part so that the constriction 15 is in fact constituted by a rim between the first part 13 and the second part 15.
- FIG. 3 represents a variant in which the first and second parts 13, 17 are exactly in line with one another, the throttling being formed by a rib 15a separating the two parts.
- FIG. 4 represents another variant in which the generators of the first and second parts 13, 17 are oblique away from the direction perpendicular to the dial from an edge 15b forming a constriction.
- the generators of the first part 13 could obviously be perpendicular to the plane of the dial 3, or even be in line with the generators of the second part 17, as shown in Figure 5, the constriction being then formed by the edge 15c of the orifice 14.
- the axes of the first parts 13 and second parts 18 of the passages 12 are not parallel but form on the contrary a broken line, of so that the throttling zone is formed by the point of flexion between the two axes.
- these two axes are perpendicular and the second part of the through passage has an opening that opens on one side of the circle casing.
- the material filling the passage forms a "plug", since it fills a portion of the second part of through passage, regardless of the respective sections first and second parts.
- a dial 3 perfectly flat, having only holes for the passageways of the axes of the needles, can be fixed by gluing by introducing into the through passages 12 a material 19 having a strong adhesive power with at least the lower surface of the dial 3.
- the amount of adhesive material 19 introduced must be such that it fills the entire first part 13 of the through passage 12 and that it overflows beyond the throttle 15 in the second part 17.
- the adhesive material 19 is chosen to be liquid during application, and solid at room temperature to form into somehow a plug impossible to extract, even if said material 19 has a little or no adhesive power with the walls of the through passage 12, as it is the case when the casing ring 10 is made of Delrin®.
- the adhesive material 19 is for example chosen in the range of hot melt (hot melt) comprising in particular polyamides, polyesters and polyurethanes. We can also use thermosets or epoxy adhesives.
- the through passages 12 have a section substantially triangular.
- the section will be shaped like bean. If a round dial is used, the section of the orifice 14 will necessarily be more small, but it is possible to increase the number of through-passages 12; he can then be advantageous to connect all the lower parts by a ring nurse.
- the dial 3 on the casing ring 10 it can be fixed, according to the same process as the one just described, on another lower element such as the platinum bottom of the movement or an extension of it.
- according to the invention may have an advantage even if materials are known capable of adhering to a metal, for example that used for the platinum underside. he is indeed well known that the adhesion force on a metal depends on the precautions taken for the surface condition, and it may be necessary to use a primary as many costly operations for the final product, without however guarantee the longevity of bonding which depends for a metal many conditions ambient conditions and in particular the humidity level.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'un cadran dans une boíte de montre, ou de toute autre pièce d'horlogerie pour permettre un préassemblage du mouvement horloger et du cadran avant de monter les autres pièces d'habillage. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un tel dispositif dans lequel le cadran est rendu solidaire du cercle d'emboítage.The present invention relates to a device for fixing a dial in a watch case, or any other timepiece to allow a pre-assembly of the watch movement and the dial before assembling the others dressing pieces. The invention relates more particularly to such a device in which the dial is made integral with the casing ring.
Un grand nombre de dispositifs a déjà été proposé pour immobiliser un cadran sur, ou entre, les éléments constitutifs d'une boíte de montre. Beaucoup de dispositifs concernent le pincement du cadran entre un, ou plusieurs éléments inférieurs tels qu'une platine, un cercle d'emboítage ou une carrure, et un, ou plusieurs éléments supérieurs, tels qu'un rehaut, une glace ou une lunette. Ces genres de dispositifs conviennent bien pour un assemblage manuel, mais sont moins satisfaisants pour un assemblage automatique ou semi-automatique, où il est souhaitable d'avoir un préassemblage du mouvement, du cadran et du dispositif d'affichage avant d'assembler les éléments d'habillage.A large number of devices has already been proposed to immobilize a dial on, or between, the constituent elements of a watch case. Many features concern the pinching of the dial between one or more lower elements such platinum, a casing ring or a caseband, and one or more elements such as an escutcheon, an ice cream or a telescope. These kinds of devices are well suited for manual assembly, but are less satisfactory for a automatic or semi-automatic assembly, where it is desirable to have a pre-assembly of movement, dial and front display to assemble the elements of dressing.
Plusieurs solutions ont été proposées pour atteindre le but ci-dessus. Il est par exemple possible de visser en deux ou trois points le cadran sur le dessous de platine ou sur le cercle d'emboítage. Dans la demande de brevet japonais JP 1467/96, il est proposé d'effectuer un boulonnage au centre avec un passage pour les canons des aiguilles. Le brevet US 4,320,483 décrit un dispositif de couplage magnétique entre le cadran et la platine.Several solutions have been proposed to achieve the above purpose. It is by possible example to screw in two or three points the dial on the bottom of platinum or on the casing ring. In Japanese Patent Application JP 1467/96, it is proposed to bolt in the center with a passage for the guns of the needles. US Patent 4,320,483 discloses a magnetic coupling device between the dial and platinum.
Parmi les autres solutions qui ont donné lieu à de très nombreuses variantes, il faut citer le principe consistant à prévoir des pieds solidaires de la surface inférieure du cadran, lesdits pieds étant immobilisés dans un élément inférieur de la boíte par soudage, par vissage ou par blocage. Pour le blocage on peut par exemple citer le brevet EP 0 465 988 dans lequel chaque pied de cadran est bloqué dans la platine par un tenon riveté à proximité.Among the other solutions that have given rise to many variations, should be mentioned the principle of providing feet secured to the lower surface of the dial, said feet being immobilized in a lower element of the box by welding, screwing or blocking. For blocking we can for example quote the patent EP 0 465 988 in which each foot of the dial is locked in the plate by a riveted tenon nearby.
Selon une solution plus simple, décrite dans le brevet CH 485 259, les pieds de cadran sont collés à l'intérieur de logements ménagés dans le cercle d'emboítage. On pourrait même envisager un mode de réalisation encore plus simple dans lequel le cadran n'a pas de pieds et où on effectue le collage directement sur la surface supérieure du cercle d'emboítage. Dans tous les cas il est nécessaire de disposer d'un produit qui puisse coller à la fois le matériau du cadran et celui du cercle d'emboítage, ou d'un autre élément inférieur de liaison. Cela est le plus souvent le cas, mais il arrive parfois qu'il soit impossible de trouver un tel produit notamment lorsque le cercle d'emboítage est un matériau synthétique pour lequel il n'existe actuellement aucune colle offrant une adhésion suffisante.According to a simpler solution, described in the patent CH 485 259, the feet dials are glued inside housings in the casing ring. One could even envisage an even simpler embodiment in which the dial has no feet and where the collage is made directly on the surface upper circle of casing. In all cases it is necessary to have a product that can glue both the material of the dial and that of the circle casing, or other lower link element. This is most often the case, but sometimes it is impossible to find such a particular product when the casing ring is a synthetic material for which there is no currently no glue with sufficient adhesion.
La présente invention a donc pour objet de procurer un assemblage simple et économique d'un cadran à un élément inférieur d'une boíte de montre, en particulier d'un cercle d'emboítage, en utilisant un matériau adhésif.The present invention therefore aims to provide a simple assembly and economic of a dial to a lower element of a watch case, especially a casing ring, using an adhesive material.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation d'un cadran sur un élément inférieur d'une boíte destinée à recevoir un mouvement horloger, ou sur un élément inférieur contenu dans celle-ci. Le dispositif est caractérisé en ce que l'élément inférieur comporte au moins deux passages traversants ayant chacun une première partie du côté cadran séparé d'une deuxième partie du côté opposé par un étranglement, lesdits passages étant remplis dans toute leur première partie et dans au moins une portion de leur deuxième partie avec un matériau adhésif ayant un fort pouvoir de liaison avec au moins le matériau formant la face inférieure du cadran.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a device for fixing a dial on a lower element of a box intended to receive a watch movement, or on a lower element contained therein. The device is characterized in that the lower element comprises at least two through-passages each having a first part of the dial side separated from a second part of the opposite side by a strangulation, said passages being filled throughout their first part and in at least a portion of their second portion with an adhesive material having a strong binding power with at least the material forming the underside of the dial.
Comme on le verra dans la description détaillée qui suit, l'étranglement peut être obtenu de différentes façons. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré les premières et deuxièmes parties des passages traversants constituent des cheminées ayant leur génératrices perpendiculaires au plan général de la boíte, c'est-à-dire en fait au cadran lui-même. Ces cheminées ont évidemment un contour adapté à l'espace disponible pour ménager les passages traversants à travers l'élément inférieur.As will be seen in the following detailed description, throttling can to be obtained in different ways. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second parts of the through passages constitute chimneys having their generators perpendicular to the general plane of the box, that is to say in fact at dial itself. These chimneys obviously have a contour adapted to the space available to provide through passages through the lower member.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les axes des premières et deuxième parties des passages traversant forment une ligne brisée.According to another embodiment, the axes of the first and second parts of the through passages form a broken line.
Pour faciliter le préassemblage du cadran au mouvement l'élément inférieur est de préférence le cercle d'emboítage ou des extensions radiales du dessous de platine du mouvement horloger. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement avantageux lorsqu'on effectue la fixation sur le cercle d'emboítage. En effet, un des matériaux le plus utilisé pour réaliser des cercles d'emboítage est un polyoxyméthylène, commercialisé par Dupont sous la marque Delrin® en raison de son très faible coefficient de frottement facilitant les opérations d'assemblage. Malheureusement, ce matériau est excessivement difficile, pour ne pas dire impossible, à coller. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet donc de bénéficier de ses qualités tribologiques tout en permettant un collage avec un cadran ne nécessitant aucune conformation particulière, tels que des pieds de fixation.To facilitate the preassembly of the dial to the movement the lower element is preferably the casing circle or radial extensions of the underside of platinum watch movement. The device according to the invention is particularly advantageous when making the fixing on the casing ring. Indeed, one of materials most commonly used to make casing circles is a polyoxymethylene sold by Dupont under the trade name Delrin® because of its very low coefficient of friction facilitating assembly operations. Unfortunately, this material is exceedingly difficult, not to say impossible to stick. The device according to the invention therefore makes it possible to benefit from its tribological qualities while allowing a collage with a dial that does not require no particular conformation, such as fixing feet.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée ci-après d'un exemple de réalisation donné à titre illustratif et non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 représente en vue de dessus une montre-chronographe de forme à cadran rectangulaire;
- la figure 2 représente en demi-coupes par la ligne 12h-6h, selon les flèches II-II de la figure 1, l'assemblage du cadran et du cercle d'emboítage, et
- les figures 3 à 6 représentent des variantes d'exécution des passages traversants visibles sur la figure 2.
- Figure 1 shows a top view of a chronograph wristwatch with a rectangular dial;
- 2 shows half-sections through the line 12h-6h, according to the arrows II-II of Figure 1, the assembly of the dial and the casing ring, and
- Figures 3 to 6 show alternative embodiments of the through passages visible in Figure 2.
A la figure 1 on a représenté une montre-chronographe ayant une boíte à
carrure rectangulaire 1 dans laquelle les éléments supérieurs de fermeture (glace,
lunette ou retour de carrure) ne sont pas figurés. La carrure 1 est pourvue de cornes 2
permettant la fixation d'un bracelet 4. Pour une meilleure compréhension on a
également supposé que le cadran rectangulaire 3 était transparent.In Figure 1 there is shown a chronograph watch with a box to
La montre-chronographe comporte de façon classique une couronne 5, par
exemple pour la mise à l'heure d'un affichage analogique au moyen d'aiguilles heures-minutes
6a, 6b et petite seconde 6c sur un cadran à 6 heures. La fonction
chronographe est commandée par deux boutons-poussoirs 7a, 7b, l'affichage des
temps chronométrés s'effectuant au moyen d'une aiguille de secondes au centre 8,
d'un compteur de minutes 9a, et d'un compteur de 1/10 de seconde 9b. Le
mouvement qui entraíne l'affichage de l'heure et la fonction chronographe ne sera pas
décrit comme ne faisant pas partie de l'invention et pouvant être un mouvement
quelconque connu de l'homme de l'art. Dans la majorité des cas, le mouvement
correspond à un calibre rond logé dans un cercle d'emboítage 10. Le terme "cercle
d'emboítage" est utilisé ici par extension étant donné que le contour extérieur est de
forme rectangulaire pour épouser le contour intérieur de la carrure 1. Cette
construction laisse donc quatre angles morts 11 qui vont être utilisés pour la fixation
du cadran comme expliqué ci-après en se référant également à la figure 2.The chronograph watch conventionally comprises a
La partie gauche de cette coupe est représentée avant la fixation du cadran 3
et la partie droite après fixation par collage au moyen d'un matériau adhésif 19
formant également bouchon. Comme on le voit, chaque passage traversant 12
comporte deux parties. Une première partie 13 forme un orifice 14 côté cadran 3; une
deuxième partie 17 est reliée à la première en formant un étranglement 15.The left part of this section is represented before the setting of the
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 2, les génératrices des
surfaces internes de chaque partie sont perpendiculaires au cadran 3 et l'orifice 14 a
une section plus faible que la section de la deuxième partie de sorte que
l'étranglement 15 est en fait constitué par un rebord entre la première partie 13 et la
deuxième partie 15. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the generators of the
internal surfaces of each part are perpendicular to the
La figure 3 représente une variante dans laquelle les premières et deuxièmes
parties 13, 17 sont exactement dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, l'étranglement
étant formé par une nervure 15a séparant les deux parties.FIG. 3 represents a variant in which the first and
La figure 4 représente une autre variante dans laquelle les génératrices des
premières et deuxièmes parties 13, 17 sont obliques en s'écartant de la direction
perpendiculaire au cadran à partir d'une arête 15b formant étranglement.FIG. 4 represents another variant in which the generators of the
first and
Les génératrices de la première partie 13 pourraient évidemment être
perpendiculaires au plan du cadran 3, voire être dans le prolongement des
génératrices de la deuxième partie 17, comme représenté à la figure 5, l'étranglement
étant alors formé par le bord 15c de l'orifice 14.The generators of the
Selon un mode de réalisation un peu différent représenté à la figure 6, on voit
que les axes des premières parties 13 et deuxièmes parties 18 des passages
traversants 12 ne sont pas parallèles mais forment au contraire une ligne brisée, de
sorte que la zone d'étranglement est formée par le point de flexion entre les deux
axes. Dans l'exemple représenté, ces deux axes sont perpendiculaires et la deuxième
partie du passage traversant a un orifice qui débouche sur un côté du cercle
d'emboítage. Dans ce mode de réalisation, il est bien évident que le matériau
remplissant le passage forme un "bouchon", dès lors qu'il remplit une portion de la
deuxième partie de passage traversant, quelles que soient les sections respectives
des premières et deuxièmes parties.According to a slightly different embodiment shown in FIG.
that the axes of the
Avec les configurations qui viennent d'être décrites, un cadran 3 parfaitement
plat, ne comportant que des trous pour les passages des axes des aiguilles, peut être
fixé par collage en introduisant dans les passages traversants 12 un matériau 19
ayant un fort pouvoir adhésif avec au moins la surface inférieure du cadran 3. La
quantité de matériau adhésif 19 introduit doit être telle qu'elle remplisse toute la
première partie 13 du passage traversant 12 et qu'elle déborde au-delà de
l'étranglement 15 dans la deuxième partie 17. Le matériau adhésif 19 est choisi pour
être liquide lors de l'application, et solide à température ambiante pour former en
quelque sorte un bouchon impossible à extraire, même si ledit matériau 19 a un
pouvoir adhésif faible ou nul avec les parois du passage traversant 12, comme c'est le
cas lorsque le cercle d'emboítage 10 est réalisé en Delrin®. Le matériau adhésif 19
est par exemple choisi dans la gamme des thermofusibles (hot-melt) comprenant
notamment des polyamides, des polyesters et des polyuréthannes. On peut
également utiliser des thermodurcissables ou des colles de type epoxy.With the configurations that have just been described, a
Avec un cadran rectangulaire les passages traversants 12 ont une section
sensiblement triangulaire. Pour un cadran de forme ovale la section sera en forme de
haricot. Si on utilise un cadran rond la section de l'orifice 14 sera nécessairement plus
petite, mais il est possible d'augmenter le nombre de passages traversants 12; il peut
alors être avantageux de relier toute les parties inférieures par une nourrice annulaire.With a rectangular dial the through
Au lieu de fixer le cadran 3 sur le cercle d'emboítage 10 on peut le fixer, selon
le même procédé que celui qui vient d'être décrit, sur un autre élément inférieur tel
que le dessous de platine du mouvement ou une extension de celui-ci. La seule
différence résidera dans la profondeur des passages traversants 12. Le procédé
selon l'invention peut présenter un avantage même si on connaít des matériaux
capables d'adhérer à un métal, par exemple celui utilisé pour le dessous de platine. Il
est en effet bien connu que la force d'adhésion sur un métal dépend des précautions
qu'on a prises pour l'état de surface, et qu'il peut être nécessaire d'utiliser un primaire
d'accrochage, autant d'opérations coûteuses pour le produit final, sans pour autant
garantir la longévité du collage qui dépend pour un métal beaucoup des conditions
ambiantes et notamment du taux d'humidité.Instead of fixing the
D'autres variantes sont encore envisageables par l'homme de métier sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.Other variants are still conceivable by the skilled person without depart from the scope of the present invention.
