Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a corrector device for a part such as a wristwatch for correcting information provided by an indicator mechanism.
  • one known miniature pushers essentially comprising a bush driven or stuck in an opening made in the middle of the watch and a rod cylindrical formed in one piece and able to slide freely in the socket.
  • the rod has a first portion passing through an opening at the end inside of the socket, and a second part of diameter larger than the diameter of the first part and including a groove serving as a housing for a trim sealing cooperating with the inner wall of said sleeve.
  • Such a push button comprises a spiral-shaped return spring.
  • the operations of correction is done by pushing the rod into the socket using a sharp instrument such as a ballpoint pen for example.
  • a sharp instrument such as a ballpoint pen for example.
  • the stem of pusher abuts against a lever by which the correction takes place. This depression compresses the spring. If we release the pressure on the stem, this one return to its rest position under the effect of the return force of the spring.
  • Pushers of the type described above have very small dimensions. Of such pushers can save space. In addition, they do not protrude of the case and therefore do not risk being accidentally actuated. they have However, as a disadvantage of being unattractive and requiring the use of a tool to be operated.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above and others by providing a corrective timepiece for correcting information that constitutes an alternative miniature pushers of the prior art.
  • the present invention relates to a corrector device for a coin watch to correct information provided by a mechanism indicator, the timepiece comprising a box delimiting a volume, the characterized in that it comprises a control lever located at the outside of the volume of the box and operable by a user, and a lever actuator located inside the volume of the box and cooperating with the indicating mechanism whose information is to be corrected, the control lever and the actuating lever being connected to each other by a rotatable connecting member adapted to rotate around a general axis of symmetry.
  • the present invention provides a device corrector that can be operated very simply by the wearer of the watch at by means of a finger or a fingernail. No tools are needed for such an operation.
  • the aesthetic aspect of the watch is also significantly improved in the extent that any suitable form can be given to the control lever that can in particular to marry the general external forms of the box of the watch.
  • the levers of control and actuation are rigidly connected to each other by means of a rod.
  • the constituent means of the corrector device according to the invention are of a simple construction, which reduces manufacturing costs and ensures reliable operation of such a device.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of provide a corrective device for the correction of information provided by a indicating mechanism including a multifunctional watch that is easy to manipulate, which does not detract from the aesthetic appearance of the watch and which is of a simple construction.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a watch case along a parallel axis at the axis 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock.
  • this watch case essentially includes a middle part 2 on which are fixed a telescope 4 and a bottom 6.
  • the watch could be of the unibody type, that is to say that the whole caseband 2 / bezel 4 or middle 2 / bottom 6 could be made in one piece.
  • this box of shows 1 defines an interior volume 8 in which is housed in particular a movement 10 which extends in an average plane P substantially parallel to the plane defined by the bottom 6.
  • This movement can be purely mechanical or be of the type electromechanical powered by a source of electrical energy (not shown).
  • the watch could also be of the purely digital type with, for example, a liquid crystal display device and include an indicating mechanism additional information as described below, of which the information provided could be corrected by means of the corrector device according to the invention.
  • said corrector device comprises a control lever 14 and a lever actuator 16 interconnected by a rotatable connecting member 18 adapted to rotate around a general axis of symmetry X-X.
  • the connecting member 18 is in the form of a rod 20 inscribed in the shell of a cylinder and at both ends of which are rigidly fixed the control lever 14 located outside the volume 8 of the box 1 and the operating lever 16 located inside said box 1.
  • the cylindrical rod 20 is advantageously made in one piece. On this rod 20 are machined two male squares 22 and 24 which are engaged in two holes female squares 26 and 28 provided in the control lever 14 and the lever actuator 16, so that said two levers 14 and 16 are immobilized in rotation relative to said rod 20.
  • the cylindrical rod 20 also has a bleeding 30 in which is housed a seal 32. To its end lower, the rod 20 also has a diameter narrowing for the mounting an elastic ring 34 which serves to immobilize the lever axially actuator 16.
  • the mounting of the corrector device 12 according to the invention is effected in the next.
  • the rod 20 provided with its seal 32 is inserted into a hole through 36 formed in the middle part 2 of the watch.
  • This through hole 36 communicates with a cavity 38 which opens into the volume 8 delimited by the middle 2 and which is adapted in shape and dimensions to receive the lever 16.
  • the actuating lever 16 being introduced by its end having the square female hole 28 in the cavity 38, the rod 20 is lowered into the through hole 36.
  • the male square 24 of the rod 20 enters the female square hole 28 of the actuating lever 16, so that the latter is found attached to rotation of said rod 20.
  • the downward movement of the rod 20 is interrupted when it abuts against the bottom 40 of the cavity 38.
  • the following operation consists of mount the control lever 14 on the rod 20 by engaging the male square that has said rod 20 at its upper end in the female square hole 26 of said lever lever 14.
  • Lever 14 is thus found immobilized in rotation relative to the rod 20.
  • the lever 14 and the rod 20 are made in one piece.
  • said lever 14 is welded to said stem 20.
  • control lever 14 is embedded in a recess 42 formed in the lower surface of one of the horns 44 of the housing 1.
  • the lever 14 does not protrude from the surface of the box 1 of the watch, which improves the aesthetic appearance of the latter and prevents said lever 14 from being inadvertently operated, for example by hanging on the sleeve of a clothing.
  • the general axis of symmetry X-X of the corrector device 12 extends, in the examples shown in the drawing, substantially perpendicularly to the plane P of the movement 10.
  • the corrector device 12 could also extend parallel to the plane of movement by being radially engaged in the middle part.
  • the correction device 12 is intended to allow a user to correct an indication provided by an indicator mechanism 46.
  • the information to be corrected may to be related to time. It can be, for example, the day of the week or phases from the moon. But the information may also have no connection with time.
  • the indicator mechanism 46 may be for example a counter that one increments to record the score of a round of golf.
  • the lever actuator 16 cooperates with a correction lever 48 which itself is engaged, directly or indirectly, with the indicator mechanism 46 whose information that it provides are to be corrected. All that is needed is for the user to rotate by means of the control lever 14. This pivoting movement is transmitted by the rod 20 to the operating lever 16 which in turn causes the correction lever 48.
  • the correction lever 48 can exert an elastic restoring force on the corrector device 12 to return the control lever 14 in its rest position.
  • control lever can be provided with a lug 50 for ease of handling.
