Definitions

  • the present invention relates to push-button controllers for watches equipped with a crown intended for setting the time and, when they include a source of mechanical energy, when reassembled barrel. More specifically, it concerns watches with a pusher coaxial to the crown. Such watches are, for example, described and represented in the book entitled “The Chronograph", B. Humbert, Scriptar SA, Lausanne 1955. This is usually a chronograph or a counter.
  • the positions of the different components arranged at the periphery of the watch are defined with reference to the position that would occupy an hour hand at a given time.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises, in addition, a lever pivoted on said box by one of its ends, mobile in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the watch, comprising, in its middle part, a point of contact intended to cooperate with the push button and, at its other end, a control portion, of shape concave.
  • the lever In order for the device to perform its full function, it is necessary that the lever is firmly fixed to the box and arranged so as to avoid any untimely action.
  • the pusher has a button partially engaged in the crown and forming a protuberance.
  • the box includes, in addition a stirrup overlapping the crown and the pusher. This stirrup is fixed by its two ends to the build.
  • the lever is pivotally mounted on the caliper, and extends between the part overlap and the button and then beyond the stirrup to form the portion of ordered.
  • the box comprises a tube in which are arranged the push rod and the rod, while the stirrup has a flange attached to both ends and enclosing this tube.
  • the pusher comprises an annular portion interposed between the crown and the middle and the lever is interposed between this annular portion and the crown.
  • the middle part is provided with a stud on which lever is pivotally mounted.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a watch part comprising a box 10 including a middle part 12 and a tube 14 driven into a hole of the build.
  • a watch movement not shown in the drawing, is housed in the box 10. It is chronograph type, controlled by a rod 16 and by a push 18.
  • the tube 14 is formed of a first portion 14a, engaged in the middle part 12, and a second 14b disposed on the outside of this middle.
  • the second portion 14b has an annular flange 14c and a groove 14d to parallel orientation to the axis of the tube.
  • the rod 16 carries, at its outer end, a ring 20 intended for the time and, in the case of a mechanical watch, when reassembling the energy source.
  • the ring 20 comprises a first part 20a, outer and ring-shaped, a second portion 20b forming a core secured to the rod 16 and a third part, intermediate, consisting of three radially oriented radii 20c and connecting the core 20b to the portion 20a.
  • the pusher 18 comprises a tubular piece 22 and a plug 23 fixed to the end of the piece 22 to close the hole on the outside of the box 10.
  • the tubular part 22 is provided, in its adjacent portion of the cap 23, of three grooves 22a extending over its entire portion disposed outside the tube 14, in which the spokes 20c are engaged. It will be noted that the axial distance from the core 20b and 20c spokes to the plug 23 is of the order about 1 mm. It is thus possible to ensure a displacement enough pusher to control the mechanism with which it is associated and of the crown during the time setting function.
  • the cap 23 protrudes from the crown 20 to form a button intended for apply pressure to control a function of the watch.
  • a stirrup 24, forming a loop around the ring 16 and the pusher 18, is fixed on the tube 14 by a flange 26, made integral with the stirrup 24 by screws 28. More precisely, the stirrup 24 and the clamp 26 comprise an annular groove identified by the letter in which the collar 14aest engaged, which axially locks the bracket 24. a recess 26b is formed in the flange 26, parallel to the groove 14d of the same width and the same length. A key 30 is disposed in the housing formed by the groove 14d and the recess 26b, thereby blocking the stirrup in rotation.
  • the stirrup 24 carries a lever 32 pivotally mounted by one of its ends 32a by means of a pin 34 engaged in holes of the lever 32 and the stirrup 24.
  • the lever 32 is movable in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the watch, which is defined by the surface of its dial.
  • the lever 32 comprises, in its median part 32b, a point of contact intended to cooperate with the pusher 18, bearing on the stopper 23.
  • the other end 32c constitutes a control portion, of concave shape.
  • the control device further comprises a spring ensuring the return of the pusher 14 as well as seals to prevent penetration of water in the movement.
  • the device as described allows to ensure the following functions.
  • the pusher 18 makes it possible to control a complementary function, for example example a chronograph, a first pressure causing the start of the chronograph mechanism, a second one stop and a third one zeroing the needles.
  • a complementary function for example example a chronograph, a first pressure causing the start of the chronograph mechanism, a second one stop and a third one zeroing the needles.
  • To control these functions just press on the end 32c of the lever 32 with a finger. It will be noted that the form concave of this end allows to properly position the loaded finger to apply the pressure.
  • this lever 32 makes the force to be applied to control the pusher is not oriented along the axis of this pusher. Such a shift is favorable. In fact, the time setting ring is generally at 3 hours, which corresponds to the most favorable position to go up the shows. This orientation is, on the other hand, not very conducive to exerting pressure. In addition, as the pusher protrudes from the crown, there is a risk hooking.
  • the middle part 12 the tube 14, the rod 16, the pusher 18, the 20 and the lever 32.
  • the crown 20 is located outside, while the pusher 18, interposed between the tube 14 and the rod 16, is annular in shape and stops, axially, beyond the tube 14, but leaving, between him and the crown, a space in which is housed the lever 32.
  • the middle part 12 comprises a stud 12a provided with a hole 12b and a slot 12c.
  • the end 32a of the lever 32, pierced with a hole 32d, is slid into the slot 12c and pivotally mounted on the stud by means of a pin 34 engaged to in one or the other of the holes 12b and 32d.
  • This second embodiment makes it possible to place the pusher in a normally inaccessible position at the touch of a finger, while greatly simplifying the structure of the whole, and more particularly of the crown and the pusher. Moreover, it is no longer necessary to have a stirrup to hold the lever, the latter being maintained by the crowned.
