Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for protecting the crown, and more generally any external control member, of a wristwatch when said crown is not in use, and conversely to allow it to be easily disengaged when it is desired to make use of it.
  • this solution has the disadvantage of making handling of the crown difficult, especially in traction.
  • the patent CH 567 300 discloses a locking device of the pushers and the crown of a chronograph wristwatch by means of a cover attached to a rotating bezel having an extension extending beyond the middle part and having a corresponding vertical and cylindrical wall substantially at the height of the middle part. This solution is satisfactory for the desired purpose, but has the disadvantage of making the rotating bezel totally unusable for other usual functions of a rotating bezel.
  • the patent CH 262 846 describes a wristwatch box having an outer circle carrying the handles and a movement holder articulated to this outer circle via the bar of one of these handles, this outer circle having a crown in which the crown can come and stay in a position of use. Movement and dressing are in this document manipulable in rotation outside the plane of the watch.
  • the present invention therefore aims at overcoming the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art by providing a crown guard and / or wristwatch device which completely releases the control members when they are to be used, and conversely which protects them effectively. in times of non-use, without impairing the accessibility to other control organs, such as a rotating bezel.
  • the invention relates to a wristwatch according to claim 1 of the patent.
  • the cover is secured to an operating ring mounted to friction in an annular groove formed in the base of the middle part being held in place by a base provided with legs screwed into the horns.
  • the movement is housed in a monocoque housing, and the bottom and the horns together form a support in which the housing can pivot to bring the crown into a cache formed in a horn.
  • This construction also has the advantage of practically not modifying the external appearance of the wristwatch and rendering the presence of any control member virtually unsuspected.
  • a first embodiment is described with reference essentially to the Figures 1 to 8 .
  • a top view of a wristwatch 1 comprising a movement 3 and a winding stem 6 (both visible on the section of the figure 5 ), the winding stem 6 having at its end a ring 5 positioned at 4 o'clock.
  • the middle part 9 is also provided with four horns 17, 17a, the first function of which is to allow the attachment of bracelet strands 20.
  • the middle part 9 and the bezel 13 form a single piece, but it is obvious that this part of the covering could be formed by two different parts, the telescope 13 being able to be, if desired, a rotating bezel.
  • the caseband 9 is closed at its bottom by a separate bottom 15, the seal being provided for example by interposition of a seal of the "sanfil" type.
  • the bottom 15 is for example screwed into a threading at the base of the middle part or snapped into it.
  • the caseband 9 comprises at its base an annular groove 29 in which is positioned, a ring 21 having an extension forming the cover 7.
  • the ring 21 is mounted frictionally in the annular groove 29 having at its base a housing provided for a seal 31 for example formed by a PTFE ring.
  • the ring 21 and the seal 31 are held in place by a washer 26 bearing on the edges of the annular groove 29 and having four fixing lugs. 16 extending under the horns 17, 17a to allow attachment of said washer 26 by means of screws 19.
  • the cover 7 has an open L-shape whose large arm 8a completely covers the head of the crown 5 leaving its exposed edges, and releasing it entirely in the open position shown in dotted lines.
  • the end of the large arm 8a follows the outline of a horn 17a.
  • the cover 7 may further comprise an upper closure element 8b which completely masks the view of the ring 5 in the closed position. It can also be provided a lower closure element (not shown) so that the cover 7 has the shape of a completely enveloping shell.
  • the cup of the figure 5 carried out along the axis of the winding stem 6, shows that the ring 21 has a thinned portion 22 on an arc sufficient to allow the clearance of the cover 7 between the closed position and the open position.
  • the cup of the figure 6 shows that the device may further comprise a ratchet system 28 cooperating with bosses 30 formed in the upper part of the ring 21, on a circular arc corresponding at least to the clearance of the cover 7 between the closed position and the open position .
  • the pawl is positioned at 7 o'clock, but it is obvious that other locations are possible, and that we can have more than one ratchet 28.
  • annular groove 29 can be partially open towards the outside, the operating ring 21 then being provided with notches 23 making it possible in particular to facilitate the maneuvering of the cover 7.
  • a first part comprises a housing 4 closed by an ice 12 to accommodate the movement 3, the sidewall 14 of said housing being traversed by the winding stem 6 at the end of which is fixed the crown 5.
  • the second part consists of a support 10 made in one piece formed by the bottom 15 connecting the four horns 17, 17a for attaching the bracelet strands 20.
  • Said support 10 is provided to receive the housing 4, the assembly being carried out with a greasy friction to allow the rotation of said housing, by means of notches 24 on the sidewall 14 of the housing 4, or on the telescope 13, as shown in FIG. figure 10 .
  • One of the horns 17a has an extension 18a L to 4h position, the large arm occupying the farthest position from the center of the watch.
  • the housing 4 By rotating the housing 4 in the clockwise direction brings the head of the crown 5 under the large arm 18a of the cover 7, the edge of the crown remaining visible.
  • the cover 7 is formed by a recess 18b in the horn 17a, which makes it possible to mask the crown 5 almost completely.
  • all wristwatches do not have a crown positioned at 3 o'clock.
  • the crown is positioned at 9 o'clock.
