Abstract

The invention concerns a seal (18), designed to be axially compressed by the crown (8) against the case tube (2) when the crown (8) is screwed on the tube (2), which is subjected to the action of a return spring (21) of the crown (8) which acts on said seal even when the crown is unscrewed, so long as no pull has been exerted on the control stem (4). Thus, if the user of the watch forgets to screw back the crown (8) after using the control device, sealing conditions are provided not only by the radial action seal (18) but also by the axial action seal (18).

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de commande de montre, à tige rotative et coulissante munie d'une couronne de commande solidaire angulairement de ladite tige et apte à se déplacer axialement sur celle-ci, se vissant sur un élément de la boîte de la montre lorsque le dispositif n'est pas opérationnel, afin de comprimer axialement une garniture d'étanchéité, et dans lequel un ressort de rappel agit sur ladite couronne tendant à déplacer celle-ci sur la tige pour dégager son pas de vis de celui dudit élément de la boîte.The subject of the present invention is a watch-control device with a rotating and sliding rod provided with a control ring fixed angularly to said rod and able to move axially thereon, screwing itself onto an element of the box. the watch when the device is not operational, in order to axially compress a seal, and in which a return spring acts on said ring tending to move it on the rod to clear its thread from that of said element of the box.

Dans les dispositifs connus du type susmentionné, la garniture d'étanchéité n'est plus soumise à aucune pression axiale lorsque la couronne est dévissée, l'étanchéité n'étant plus assurée, avec moins de sécurité, que par une seconde garniture agissant radialement entre un élément du corps de boîte et un élément solidaire de la couronne.In known devices of the aforementioned type, the seal is no longer subjected to any axial pressure when the ring is unscrewed, sealing being no longer ensured, with less safety, than by a second seal acting radially between an element of the box body and an element integral with the crown.

Or l'expérience montre qu'assez fréquemment l'utilisateur d'une montre qui vient de faire usage du dispositif de commande, par exemple pour effectuer une correction de la position des organes indicateurs, s'il pense bien à ramener la couronne et la tige de commande dont elle est solidaire dans leur position inopérante, dans laquelle une rotation de la couronne reste sans effet, oublie en revanche de visser la couronne sur l'élément du corps de boîte, pour assurer une étanchéité parfaite du dispositif.However, experience shows that quite frequently the user of a watch who has just used the control device, for example to perform a correction of the position of the indicator organs, if he thinks of bringing back the crown and the control rod which it is secured in their inoperative position, in which a rotation of the crown remains ineffective, forgets on the other hand to screw the crown on the element of the box body, to ensure a perfect seal of the device.

Le but de la présente invention est d'améliorer l'étanchéité de tels dispositifs de commande de montres lorsque la couronne n'est pas vissée en position de blocage. Le document CH 682 199 G divulgue une couronne étanche prétensionnée sur la boîte.The object of the present invention is to improve the sealing of such watch control devices when the crown is not screwed in the locking position. Document CH 682 199 G discloses a pre-tensioned waterproof crown on the box.

Ce but est atteint par l'invention telle que définie par la revendication 1.This object is achieved by the invention as defined by claim 1.

Le dispositif de commande décrit et représenté appartient à un mouvement de montre-bracelet logé dans une boîte dont la carrure, partiellement représentée, est désignée par 1. Ce dispositif est supporté par un tube de boîte 2, dit de pendant, vissé en 3 dans un perçage radial que présente la carrure 1.The control device described and shown belongs to a wristwatch movement housed in a box whose middle, partially shown, is designated by 1. This device is supported by a box tube 2, said of, screwed in 3 in a radial drilling that presents the middle part 1.

Ce dispositif comprend une tige de commande 4, rotative et coulissante, reliée aux organes du mouvement que le dispositif est destiné à actionner, qui n'ont pas été représentés car étant étrangers à la présente invention. Cette tige est vissée en 5 dans un canon 6 dont la partie supérieure est engagée dans la creusure centrale 7 d'une couronne de commande 8 permettant d'actionner la tige 4.This device comprises a control rod 4, rotating and sliding, connected to the organs of movement that the device is intended to actuate, which have not been shown because being foreign to the present invention. This rod is screwed at 5 into a barrel 6, the upper part of which is engaged in the central hollow 7 of a control ring 8 enabling the rod 4 to be actuated.

Une garniture d'étanchéité 9, logée dans une noyure tube intérieure 10 que présente le tube 2, est interposée entre celui-ci et le canon 6 et agit radialement sur ceux-ci pour assurer l'étanchéité du dispositif en conditions normales d'emploi de la montre, mais non en conditions particulières, comme par exemple en condition d'immersion dans un liquide.A seal 9, housed in an inner tube bore 10 which the tube 2 has, is interposed between the latter and the barrel 6 and acts radially thereon to ensure the sealing of the device under normal conditions of use. of the watch, but not in particular conditions, for example in a condition of immersion in a liquid.

Le canon 6 porte, vissée intérieurement en 11, une tige 12 présentant une collerette 12a, et qui se prolonge, au delà de cette collerette, par une saillie 12b, de section carrée, engagée dans un trou de forme correspondante 13 ménagé dans le fond, désigné par 8a, d'un logement central 14 que présente la couronne 8. Ce logement 14 est fermé par une pastille 15 vissée à l'extrémité de la saillie 12b. Ainsi, la couronne 8 est solidaire angulairement de la tige 4 tout en pouvant se déplacer axialement par rapport à celle-ci. Il est à remarquer que le canon 6 pourrait être venu d'une pièce avec la tige 12, sa collerette 12a et sa saillie 12b. Une coiffe 16, collée ou soudée dans une feuillure 17 que présente la couronne, recouvre l'orifice du logement 14 et le rend ainsi invisible. Cette coiffe pourra porter un logo du fabricant de la montre.The barrel 6 carries screwed inwardly at 11, a rod 12 having a flange 12a, and which is extended, beyond this flange, by a projection 12 b of square section, engages into a correspondingly shaped hole 13 provided in the bottom, designated by 8a, a central housing 14 that presents the ring 8. This housing 14 is closed by a disc 15 screwed to the end of the protrusion 12 b. Thus, the ring 8 is angularly secured to the rod 4 while being able to move axially relative thereto. It should be noted that the barrel 6 could be made in one piece with the shaft 12, its flange 12 a and the projection 12 b. A cap 16, glued or welded into a rabbet 17 that has the crown, covers the hole of the housing 14 and makes it invisible. This cap will be able to carry a logo of the manufacturer of the watch.

Une garniture d'étanchéité 18 est interposée entre la collerette 12a de la tige 12 et le tube de boîte 3. Par ailleurs, la jupe de la couronne 8, désignée par 8b, est filetée intérieurement en 19 alors que le tube de boîte 6 est fileté extérieurement en 20, ce qui permet de visser la couronne sur le tube de boîte lorsque la tige de commande 4 occupe sa position poussée, de repos, dans laquelle le dispositif de commande est inopérant. Dans cette position vissée de la couronne, le fond 8a de son logement intérieur 14 prend appui axialement contre la garniture d'étanchéité 18 et la comprime axialement contre l'extrémité du tube de boîte 3, assurant une étanchéité parfaite du dispositif.A sealing gasket 18 is interposed between the flange 12a of the rod 12 and the tube box 3. Moreover, the skirt of the ring 8, designated by 8b is internally threaded at 19 while the box tube 6 is externally threaded at 20, which makes it possible to screw the crown onto the box tube when the control rod 4 occupies its pushed rest position, in which the control device is inoperative. In the screwed position of the crown, the bottom 8a of the inner housing 14 is supported axially against the gasket 18 and compresses it axially against the end of the can tube 3, ensures perfect sealing of the device.

Un ressort à boudin 21 logé dans la creusure 7 de la couronne est interposé entre le fond, désigné par 8c, de celle-ci et la collerette 12a solidaire du canon 6. Ce ressort est à double fonction : d'une part il tend à séparer la couronne du tube de boîte, de telle sorte que, lorsque la couronne est dévissée, elle puisse être rnanipulée, axialement ou rotativement, sans interférer avec le tube de boîte, et d'autre part elle exerce une force axiale sur la garniture d'étanchéité 18 même lorsque la couronne est dévissée, au moins lorsque la tige de commande 4 n'est pas tirée axialement au-delà de sa position inopérante (fig.2), de telle sorte que, si l'utilisateur de la montre oublie de revisser la couronne après qu'il a fait usage du dispositif de commande, cette pression axiale exercée sur le joint 18 vienne à parfaire l'étanchéité déjà partiellement assurée par la garniture d'étanchéité à action radiale 9.A coil spring 21 accommodated in the recess 7 of the crown is interposed between the bottom, denoted by 8c thereof and the flange 12 is integral with the barrel 6. This spring is dual function: firstly it tends to separate the ring from the box tube, so that when the ring is unscrewed, it can be manipulated, axially or rotatively, without interfering with the box tube, and secondly it exerts an axial force on the seal 18 even when the crown is unscrewed, at least when the control rod 4 is not pulled axially beyond its inoperative position (fig.2), so that if the user of the shows forget to screw the crown after he made use of the control device, this axial pressure exerted on the seal 18 comes to complete the seal already partially provided by the seal radial action 9.

La disposition décrite et représentée présente encore un autre avantage par rapport aux dispositifs de commande de montres connus de ce type, en ce sens que la canon 6 est en contact avec l'alésage central du tube de boîte 3 et qu'il est ainsi parfaitement guidé axialement lorsque la couronne est pressée contre le tube de boîte en vue de la visser sur celui-ci. En ajoutant à cela le fait que le ressort à boudin 21 a un diamètre supérieur à la moitié du diamètre de la couronne, alors que, dans les dispositifs connus de ce type, le diamètre du ressort est généralement moitié moins grand, il en résulte que la couronne est parfaitement bien «assise» sur le tube de boîte, sous l'effet du ressort et du guidage susmentionné, de sorte qu'elle peut être aisément vissée, sans qu'il y ait risque que le vissage ne s'amorce mal, ce qui peut provoquer une détérioration des filetages 19 et 20, du tube de boîte 3 et de la couronne 8, respectivement. Incidemment, ces filetages pourront être trapézoïdaux, ce qui facilitera encore leur prise.The arrangement described and shown has yet another advantage over the known watch control devices of this type, in that the barrel 6 is in contact with the central bore of the box tube 3 and is thus perfectly guided axially when the ring is pressed against the box tube to screw it on it. Adding to this the fact that the coil spring 21 has a diameter greater than half the diameter of the ring, whereas in known devices of this type, the diameter of the spring is generally half as small, it follows that the crown is perfectly well "seated" on the tube box, under the effect of the spring and the aforementioned guide, so that it can be easily screwed, without there being a risk that the screwing does not start badly , which can cause a deterioration of the threads 19 and 20, the box tube 3 and the crown 8, respectively. Incidentally, these threads may be trapezoidal, which will further facilitate their decision.

Aux figures 4 et 5, on a représenté une variante de réalisation du dispositif de commande selon l'invention. Les éléments identiques à ceux décrits en liaison avec les figures 1 à 3 sont désignés par les mêmes référence numériques. Ce mode de réalisation se distingue essentiellement du mode de réalisation décrit en liaison avec les figures 1 à 3 par les moyens mis en oeuvre pour permettre la solidarisation en rotation de la tige 4 avec la couronne 8 tout en permettant le déplacement axial de la tige par rapport à celle-ci.FIGS. 4 and 5 show an alternative embodiment of the control device according to the invention. The elements identical to those described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated by the same numerical references. This embodiment differs essentially from the embodiment described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 3 by the means used to enable the joining together of rotation of the rod 4 with the ring 8 while allowing the axial displacement of the rod relative thereto.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, le canon 6 et la collerette 12a sont d'une seule pièce et la collerette 12a se prolonge vers le haut à sa périphérie par une paroi cylindrique 12c définissant un logement 12d dans lequel est logé le ressort 21. La paroi cylindrique 12c se termine par un rebord 12f dont la surface extérieure périphérique présente un crénelage (figure 5). La paroi intérieure cylindrique 7a de la creusure centrale 7 de la couronne 8 présente un crénelage de forme correspondante au crénelage du rebord 12f, de façon à coopérer pour que la couronne soit solidaire angulairement du canon 6 et par conséquent de la tige 4 tout en pouvant se déplacer axialement par rapport à celle-ci. La couronne 8 est maintenue sur la collerette 12a, 12c et 12d au moyen d'un anneau élastique 30 disposé dans une gorge ménagée dans la paroi cylindrique 7a. L'anneau coopère avec le rebord 12f pour retenir la couronne 8 axialement.In this embodiment, the barrel 6 and the flange 12a are in one piece and the flange 12 a extends upwardly at its periphery by a cylindrical wall 12 defining a housing c 12 d in which is housed the spring 21. The cylindrical wall 12 c terminates in a flange 12 f whose peripheral outer surface has an unevenness (FIG. 5). The cylindrical inner wall 7a of the central recess 7 of the ring 8 has a corresponding shape aliasing aliasing of the flange 12 f, so as to cooperate for the crown is angularly integral with the barrel 6 and therefore of the rod 4 while being able to move axially with respect thereto. The crown 8 is held on the flange 12 a, 12 c and 12 d by means of a snap ring 30 disposed in a groove in the cylindrical wall 7 a. The ring cooperates with the flange 12 f to retain the ring 8 axially.

De manière avantageuse on disposera l'anneau élastique le long de la paroi 7 de manière à limiter l'écrasement du joint en position vissée de la couronne 8.Advantageously, the elastic ring will be disposed along the wall 7 so as to limit crushing of the seal in the screwed-on position of the crown 8.

On notera encore que dans ce mode de réalisation, le fond 7b de la creusure de la couronne 8 est complètement fermé, ce qui permet de réaliser une couronne 8 présentant une face externe sans ouverture centrale, de sorte que l'utilisation d'une coiffe telle que la coiffe 16 peut être omise.Note also that in this embodiment, the bottom 7b of the recess of the ring 8 is completely closed, which allows for a ring 8 having an outer face without central opening, so that the use of a cap such as the cap 16 can be omitted.

L'invention n'est bien entendu pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus et on comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations évidentes pour un homme de métier pourront y être apportées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendication annexées.The invention is of course not limited to the embodiments described above and it will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to one skilled in the art can be made without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims. attached.
