Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bottom-opening watch case and its opening device.
  • the existing bottom-opening watch cases include a bottom or rear window sealingly sealing the box, and a hinged bottom on the box bottom bezel.
  • the bottom comprises a snap coupling, located opposite its hinge, with said box bottom bezel for maintaining the closed position of the bottom.
  • the bottom and possibly the bottom bezel of the box comprises an actuating member formed by a slot, for example to exert traction on the bottom to open it by rotating it around. its hinge. This opening is done either with a tool but more generally with the nail. The user can thus at any time have a visual access to the rear face of the watch movement by opening the bottom.
  • the object of the present invention is to allow the realization of a watch bottom opening in which, both the hinge of the bottom and the organs necessary for its opening, are invisible and therefore do not affect the appearance of the watch.
  • the subject of the present invention is a wristwatch having an opening bottom making it possible to obviate the abovementioned drawbacks and to achieve the aim stated above which is distinguished by the features set forth in claim 1.
  • the wristwatch having a bottom-opening box according to the present invention is illustrated in a first embodiment in FIG. 1 and comprises a watch case formed of a middle part 1, of an upper bezel 2 on which is fixed a ice 3, a bottom window 4 on which is pivoted by means of a hinge a bottom cover 5 closing on the bottom bezel 4 by snapping.
  • This bottom window 4 serves to support a bottom window 6.
  • This box is sealed thanks to the ice joints 7, 8 and the joints 9, 10 between the middle part 1 and the glasses 2, 4.
  • This watch case contains a movement 11 fixed in any known manner on the middle part 1, for example by means of a casing ring 12, surmounted by a dial 13.
  • the bottom cover 5 is pivoted on the bottom window 4 by means of a hinge 14 and, on the opposite side, the free end of the cover 5 forms a snap-fit coupling with the bottom window 4.
  • the bottom cover 5 extends beyond the hinge 14 towards the edge of the middle part 1 so as to hide the hinge 14 which becomes invisible to an observer looking at the watch from the rear thereof.
  • a bracelet 15 is fixed between two horns 16 of the box by means of a bar 17.
  • the rigid insert 18 inserted in the end of the bracelet 15 located towards the hinge 14 is cut in 19 to allow the opening of the bottom cover 5 and the deflection of the part of it overflowing the hinge 14.
  • the end of the bracelet 15 located on the side where the bottom cover 5 is snapped onto the bottom bezel 4, has a recessed insert 18a to form a housing 20 enclosing a tube 21, surrounding the central portion of the bar 17, provided with an aperture pallet 22 extending into a recess 23 located between the edge of the bottom cover 5 and the middle part 1, and a maneuvering pallet 24 extending inside the bracelet over a certain length.
  • the opening pallet 22 terminates in a fork 30 engaged on the stem of a screw 31 whose head 32 bears on the cover 5, and whose end is screwed into a nut or washer 33 housed at the bottom of a blind hole 34 formed in the middle part 1.
  • This nut 33 is subjected to the action of a return spring 35 bearing on a plate 36 integral with the middle part 1.
  • This aperture pallet 22 is directly connected to the maneuvering pallet 24.
  • the pivot point of the vanes 22, 24 is formed by the angle that it forms between them, abutting against the angle of the recess 20. insert 18a.
  • the insert 18 and / or 18a is screwed into the middle part or middle case of the watch case to attach the bracelet.
  • vanes 22, 24 are normally maintained in the inactive position by the spring 35.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another variant of the actuating member formed of the vanes 22 and 24, mounted in the end of the bracelet 15.
  • this actuating member comprises a lug 37 abutting against the bar 17 allowing the vanes 22, 24 to oscillate around this bar under the action of a push of the user to cause the opening of the bottom cover 5.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates in section another embodiment of the wristwatch comprising a box provided with a bottom cover and an upper cover 40, both of which can be opened with the aid of an integrated maneuvering device. in the box and his bracelet.
  • the bottom cover 5, its mounting and its opening, are as described in the first embodiment with the aid of the actuating member 21, 22, 24 incorporated in the insert 18a of the end of the bracelet. 15.
  • the middle part 1 is a middle-bezel which carries the movement 11 and serves as a support for the upper window 3.
  • An upper cover 40 is pivoted by means of a hinge 41 on this caseband-bezel 1 and comes clipping the opposite on a rim 42 of this middle-telescope 1.
  • the middle-bezel 1 is traversed axially by a passage 43 having a shoulder 44, its larger diameter part being directed towards the underside of the watch.
  • a pusher 45 is engaged in this passage 43 and its head 46 rests on the upper face of the opening pallet 22. The upper end of this pusher 45 is intended to cooperate with the face lower of the upper cover 40 when the opening pallet 22 is moved upwards of the watch case thus causing the opening of the upper cover 40.
  • the opening pallet 22 of the operating member 21, 22, 24 thus acts either on the bottom cover 5 or on the upper cover 40 according to the direction of movement which is printed to it by the operating pallet 24.
  • Such a watch may not have upper ice 3 and serve the visually impaired who could manually locate the position of the needles and thus read the time.
  • the bottom window 4 could have come from a workpiece with the caseband 1.
  • only the upper cover 40 could be actuated by the operating device described with reference to Figure 4.
  • the bottom of the box can be a fixed base for example screwed.
  • the watch case can be arranged to serve as a case for a pocket watch.
  • the pocket watch can be used for itself or placed in said case and be used as a wristwatch whose top cover 40 is opened to read the time.
