Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'affichage des quantièmes pour pièce d'horlogerie, comprenant deux disques indicateurs disposés côte à côte, l'un portant les chiffres des unités, l'autre ceux des dizaines, les deux chiffres côte à côte des deux disques respectifs apparaissant dans un guichet ménagé au travers d'un cadran indicateur de l'heure.The present invention relates to a date display device for a timepiece, comprising two indicator discs arranged side by side, one bearing the numbers of the units, the other those of the tens, the two numbers side by side. the two respective disks appearing in a window arranged through a dial indicating the time.

Pour permettre d'augmenter la taille des chiffres des quantièmes d'une montre bracelet en particulier, il a déjà été proposé en CH 310 559 , entre autres, d'utiliser deux disques, l'un portant les chiffres des unités et l'autre celui des dizaines. Lorsque l'on dispose ces disques côte à côte, de manière à faire apparaître au travers d'un guichet les deux portions adjacentes de ces disques situées de part et d'autre d'une ligne reliant leurs centres respectifs, les portions des bords des disques situées à l'intérieur du guichet apparaissent. Pour dissimuler ces bords de disques, on divise généralement le guichet en deux par une étroite traverse verticale médiane, ménageant un demi-guichet gauche pour l'affichage du chiffre des dizaines et un demi-guichet droit pour l'affichage des unités.To make it possible to increase the size of the date digits of a particular wristwatch, it has already been proposed in CH 310,559 among other things, to use two disks, one bearing the numbers of the units and the other that of the tens. When these discs are placed side by side, so as to reveal through a wicket the two adjacent portions of these discs located on either side of a line connecting their respective centers, the portions of the edges of the discs inside the window appear. To conceal these disk edges, the wicket is usually divided in two by a narrow median vertical crossbar, leaving a left half-window for the display of the tens digit and a right half-wicket for displaying the units.

On a aussi proposé des solutions dans lesquelles les deux disques sont superposés, un des chiffres apparaissant au travers d'une ouverture ménagée dans le disque supérieur. Cette solution présente cependant l'inconvénient d'avoir les deux chiffres du quantième situés à deux niveaux différents. On a également proposé dans le EP 1 070 996 de faire le disque supérieur en un matériau transparent, ce qui évite de devoir ménager une ouverture, mais ne résout pas le problème de l'affichage des deux chiffres à des niveaux différents.Solutions have also been proposed in which the two disks are superimposed, one of the numbers appearing through an opening in the upper disk. This solution, however, has the disadvantage of having the two digits of the date located at two different levels. It has also been proposed in EP 1 070 996 to make the upper disc a transparent material, which avoids having to arrange an opening, but does not solve the problem of displaying the two numbers at different levels.

Une autre variante de la solution précédente est décrite dans le WO 03/071361 et présente donc le même inconvénient, à savoir celui d'afficher les deux chiffres des quantièmes sur deux niveaux différents.Another variant of the previous solution is described in the WO 03/071361 and therefore has the same disadvantage, namely that of displaying the two digits of the dates on two different levels.

Le but de la présente invention est d'apporter une solution capable de remédier, au moins partiellement, aux inconvénients susmentionnés.The object of the present invention is to provide a solution capable of remedying, at least partially, the aforementioned drawbacks.

A cet effet, cette invention a pour objet un dispositif d'affichage des quantièmes pour pièce d'horlogerie selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, this invention relates to a timepiece display device for a timepiece according to claim 1.

La figure unique du dessin annexé illustre, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une vue de dessus d'une forme d'exécution du dispositif d'affichage objet de la présente invention.The single figure of the accompanying drawing illustrates, schematically and by way of example, a top view of an embodiment of the display device object of the present invention.

Pour la compréhension de la présente invention, l'homme de métier n'a pas besoin de connaître le mécanisme d'entraînement du dispositif d'affichage, celui-ci étant un dispositif de quantièmes du type appelé "grande date" tout à fait classique, bien connu de l'homme de métier. Grâce à ce mécanisme, le disque des unités est entraîné d'un pas chaque jour et celui des dizaines d'un pas tous les dix jours. En fin de mois, si il s'agit d'un mécanisme de quantièmes annuel ou perpétuel, le passage du 28, 29, 30 ou 31 au 1 du mois suivant s'effectuera automatiquement par un mécanisme connu qui neutralise le disque des unités si le mois a 31 jours et n'entraîne que celui des dizaines ou qui entraîne les deux disques d'un pas si le mois a 30 jours. Si il s'agit d'un mécanisme perpétuel, il effectuera la correction également pour le mois de février. Enfin si il s'agit d'un quantième simple, la correction s'effectue à la main, chaque fois que le mois a moins de 31 jours.For the understanding of the present invention, the skilled person does not need to know the drive mechanism of the display device, the latter being a date device of the type called "big date" quite conventional well known to those skilled in the art. Thanks to this mechanism, the disk of the units is driven one step every day and that of the tens a step every ten days. At the end of the month, if it is an annual or perpetual calendar mechanism, the passage of the 28, 29, 30 or 31 to the 1 of the following month will be done automatically by a known mechanism which neutralizes the disk of the units if the month has 31 days and only trains the tens, or drives the two discs one step if the month has 30 days. If it is a perpetual mechanism, he will make the correction also for the month of February. Finally if it is a simple calendar, the correction is done by hand, each time the month is less than 31 days.

Le dispositif d'affichage selon l'invention comporte donc deux disques côte à côte, un disque des unités 1 portant les chiffres de 0 à 9 et un disque des dizaines 2 portant au moins une série de quatre chiffres 0 à 3, le 0 pouvant être remplacé par un espace vide ou par un élément décoratif. De préférence, le disque des dizaines comporte deux séries de chiffres de 0 à 3, ce qui lui permet de se rapprocher du nombre de chiffres du disque des unités et de faire ainsi deux disques ayant sensiblement le même diamètre.The display device according to the invention therefore comprises two disks side by side, a disk of the units 1 carrying the numbers from 0 to 9 and a tens disk 2 carrying at least a series of four digits 0 to 3, the 0 can be replaced by a blank space or by a decorative element. Preferably, the tens disk has two sets of numbers from 0 to 3, which allows it to approach the number of digits of the disk units and thus make two disks having substantially the same diameter.

Ces deux disques 1, 2 sont transparents, les chiffres qu'ils portent étant d'une couleur, par exemple noire, comme habituellement. Seule les parties de ces disques 1, 2 situées à l'intérieur du guichet qui est représenté par un rectangle 3 sur le dessin sont visible pour l'observateur, en sorte que le mécanisme d'entraînement de ces disques 1, 2 peut se situer facilement hors du champ de vision du guichet 3. Sous ces parties des disques 1, 2 et de préférence un peu au-delà pour tenir compte de la parallaxe, la surface qui apparaît à travers ces parties des disques 1, 2 transparents est d'une couleur contrastant avec celle des chiffres portés par ces disques, par exemple, si les chiffres sont noirs, la surface qui apparaît à travers les disques 1, 2 sera blanche ou tout au moins claire. Etant donné que les disques sont transparents, leurs bords respectifs sont presque invisibles, en sorte qu'il n'est plus nécessaire de séparer le guichet 3 en deux par une traverse médiane pour cacher les bords des disques 1, 2.These two discs 1, 2 are transparent, the numbers they carry being of a color, for example black, as usual. Only the parts of these disks 1, 2 located inside the window which is represented by a rectangle 3 in the drawing are visible to the observer, so that the drive mechanism of these disks 1, 2 can be located Easily outside the field of view of the window 3. Under these parts of the disks 1, 2 and preferably a little beyond to take into account the parallax, the surface which appears through these parts of the transparent disks 1, 2 is a color contrasting with that of the numbers carried by these discs, for example, if the numbers are black, the surface that appears through the discs 1, 2 will be white or at least clear. Since the disks are transparent, their respective edges are almost invisible, so that it is no longer necessary to separate the wicket 3 in two by a median cross to hide the edges of the disks 1, 2.

La surface sous-jacente aux disques 1, 2 apparaissant en transparence dans le guichet 3 peut être ménagée sur une plaquette 4 fixée au bâti, en général à la platine de la pièce d'horlogerie par des vis 4a. Au cas où la portion du bâti située sous le guichet 3 présente une surface unie, la plaquette 4 peut être supprimée et la surface contrastante destinée à apparaître sous les portions des disques 1, 2 situées dans le guichet 3 peut être directement ménagée sur la platine par revêtement total ou partiel de celle-ci de la couleur contrastante désirée. Si les essais effectués ont montré que le fond blanc et les chiffres noirs donnent de bons résultats, on peut également envisager de faire l'inverse, des chiffres blancs sur fond noir. Toutefois cette solution semble moins favorable à première vue. Etant donné que les disques transparents produisent un reflet, il peut être avantageux de choisir une couleur contrastante brillante pour atténuer la différence entre les portions de la surface de fond 4 qui sont recouvertes par les disques 1, 2 et les zones 4a de cette même surface de fond situées entre les disques 1, 2 et qui ne sont pas recouvertes par eux.The surface underlying the disks 1, 2 appearing in transparency in the aperture 3 can be formed on a wafer 4 fixed to the frame, generally to the turntable of the timepiece by screws 4a. In the case where the portion of the frame located under the aperture 3 has a solid surface, the wafer 4 can be omitted and the contrasting surface intended to appear under the portions of the disks 1, 2 located in the window 3 can be directly formed on the plate by total or partial coating thereof of the desired contrasting color. If the tests carried out showed that the white background and the black numbers give good results, one can also consider doing the opposite, white figures on a black background. However, this solution seems less favorable at first glance. Since the transparent discs produce a reflection, it may be advantageous to choose a bright contrasting color to attenuate the difference between the portions of the background surface 4 that are covered by the discs 1, 2 and the areas 4a of the same surface. bottom located between the disks 1, 2 and which are not covered by them.

Les disques transparents 1, 2 peuvent être en matière plastique ou en verre. Dans le cas où ils sont en matière plastique, ils pourraient être obtenus par injection en positionnant des chiffres réalisés par exemple par découpage, dans le moule d'injection, de manière à ce qu'ils soient au moins partiellement noyés dans la matière plastique injectée. Ces chiffres pourraient avoir une certaine épaisseur, par exemple correspondant à l'épaisseur du disque transparent 1, 2, ce qui leur donnerait un relief particulier, encore inconnu jusqu'ici puisqu'on verrait alors la tranche de ces chiffres, étant donné qu'ils sont noyés dans un disque transparent.The transparent discs 1, 2 can be made of plastic or glass. In the case where they are made of plastic, they could be obtained by injection by positioning figures made for example by cutting, in the injection mold, so that they are at least partially embedded in the plastic injected . These figures could have a certain thickness, for example corresponding to the thickness of the transparent disk 1, 2, which would give them a particular relief, still unknown so far since we would then see the slice of these figures, since they are embedded in a transparent disk.
