Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wristwatch intended to be worn on the wrist of a user.
  • a wristwatch is a watch mounted on a bracelet that can be made for example of leather, metal and / or plastic.
  • a wristwatch is essentially composed of a dial case containing a clockwork movement, as well as a removable bracelet whose ends are reversibly fixed to the middle of the box.
  • the box is generally provided with two pairs of horns, forming connecting elements, which are respectively integral with two opposite sides of the middle and which extend in the same direction but in opposite directions as indicated, for example, in the document CH 331316 .
  • the free end of each horn generally comprises a blind bore for receiving the end of a telescopic axis, commonly called pump, itself secured to one end of the bracelet.
  • This type of wristwatch however has the disadvantage of not being always very comfortable to wear since it has a portion of relatively large dimensions, the structural rigidity does not allow the wristwatch to easily adapt to the wrist size of the user.
  • This rigid part corresponds to the middle part combined with the two pairs of connecting horns. Of course, it is essentially these two pairs of horns, arranged cantilevered with respect to the middle part, which generate an excessive length to the rigid part of the wristwatch.
  • the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a wristwatch having a middle and a removable bracelet, each end of the bracelet being secured to the respective free ends of two connecting elements integral with the middle part, a wristwatch which would make it possible to avoid the problems of the state of the art by being able to best adapt to the wearer's morphology, while offering a significantly improved user comfort.
  • each connecting element is mounted movably in displacement relative to the middle part, the free end of each connecting element being capable of being oriented in different directions.
  • the invention as thus defined has the advantage of reducing the dimensions of the rigid part of the wristwatch.
  • the cantilever connecting elements are not here rigidly attached to the middle part. Due to their relative mobility, each connecting element is able to orient itself naturally in a direction substantially tangent to the curvature of the wrist of the user.
  • the assembly, formed by the middle part and the connecting elements, thus offers a sufficiently flexible structure to be able to marry at best the wrist of the user, resulting in a greatly improved user comfort.
  • the present invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a wristwatch 1 essentially composed of a dial box 2 and a removable bracelet 3.
  • the box 2 comprises a caseband 4 containing a clockwork movement not shown here for the sake of clarity.
  • the ends 5, 6 of the bracelet 3 are removably attached to the middle part 4, in particular by means of two pairs of connecting elements 10, 30; 20, 40 respectively disposed in opposition on the periphery 7 of said caseband 4. Note also the presence of a winding 8.
  • each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is movably mounted relative to the middle part 4.
  • the free end 11, 21, 31, 41 of each connecting element 10 , 20, 30, 40 is thus capable of being oriented in different directions.
  • each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is articulated so as to extend in any direction included in a cone whose vertex is located in the middle part 4.
  • each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 comprises a spherical portion 12, 22, 32, 42 forming a ball joint, and a radial portion 13, 23, 33, 43 provided with a first assembly means 14, 24, 34, 44.
  • the spherical portion 12, 22, 32, 42 is rotatably shaped in a hollow seat housing 15, 25, 35, 45.
  • the first assembly means 14, 24, 34, 44 is itself configured so as to cooperate by fixing with a second assembly means 50, 60 secured to the corresponding free end 5, 6 of the bracelet 3.
  • the hollow housing 15, 25, 35, 45 is constituted, on the one hand, by a substantially hemispherical cavity 16, 26, 36, 46 formed in the middle part 4, and on the other hand, by a removable yoke 17, 27, 37, 47 whose internal face has a shape substantially complementary to the spherical portion 12, 22, 32, 42 when said spherical portion 12, 22, 32, 42 is housed in said hemispherical cavity 16, 26, 36, 46.
  • the removable yoke 17, 27, 37, 47 further comprises an opening 18, 28, 38, 48 allowing the passage of the radial portion 13, 23, 33, 43, and consequently the mobility of the connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 corresponding.
  • each yoke 17, 27, 37, 47 is secured to the middle part 4 by fastening screws not shown in the various figures, again for the sake of clarity.
  • each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 has several mobilities. So, and as we can see on the figure 3 each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is able to tilt vertically about 90 °. In this embodiment, each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is more precisely able to swing vertically with respect to the plane of the wristwatch, about 30 ° upwards as in the case of the connecting element 40, and up to about 60 ° downwards as for the element of the wristwatch. liaison 30.
  • each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is also capable of tilting horizontally about 35 °.
  • each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is thus able to tilt horizontally up to 5 ° inwards and 30 ° outwards, with respect to a plane P which is orthogonal to the plane of the wristwatch 1 on the one hand, and orthogonal to the sagittal plane S passing through the winder on the other hand.
  • This feature is particularly advantageous to compensate for possible assembly gaps that may exist between the first assembly means 14, 24, 34, 44 and the second assembly means 50, 60 associated.
  • each connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is furthermore able to rotate axially on itself, ie around the direction in which said connecting element 10, 20, 30, 40 is extends.
  • each first assembly means 14, 24, 34, 44 and each second assembly means 50, 60 is constituted by a through bore, forming a bearing 19, 29, 39, 49, which is adapted to cooperate with a connecting pin 51, 61, forming second connecting means 50, 60.
  • Each connecting pin 51 ; 61 is held in two corresponding bearings 19, 39; 29, 49 by means of two locking screws 52a, 52b; 62a, 62b forming a stop at the respective ends of each connecting pin 51; 61. All known assembly techniques, equivalent to those linking the first assembly means 14, 24, 34, 44 to the second fastening means 50, 60, can obviously be adopted as long as the assembly function is well filled.
  • the figure 5 shows more specifically the lower part of each yoke 17, 27, 37, 47. It also makes it possible to observe the presence of a bottom 9 allowing access to the inside of the box 2, from below the watch. bracelet 1. This bottom 9 is also attached to the lower edge of the middle part 4 by a set of fixing screws.
