Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an object, a support and a fixing element arranged on the support for connecting the latter to the object removably and to define a pivot axis between the object and the support, in particular to alternatively present a first and a second face of the support, arranged on either side of a median plane in the vicinity of the fixing element, when the object and the support are mutually arranged in a first, respectively a second, position of use.
  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking, more particularly devices for reversing and interchangeability of a watch with respect to a bracelet.
  • Bracelets are type "welded", in which case they are made in particular in the same material as the box, or type “removable” and they are made of metal, synthetic material or leather.
  • the removable bracelets are in particular fixed by spring bars which are introduced into the horns of the watch case.
  • Watch users are looking more and more modular devices allowing them to transform their watches including jewelry in which case they raise the decorative aspect of their ornaments or dual dial for a double-sided watch.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device for returning a watch movement and / or a bracelet independently of one another, in order to have in particular a dual-dial watch and a double-sided bracelet interchangeable.
  • the present invention applies to all types and all forms of watches or comparable objects.
  • the peculiarities of the device allowing the reversal of a watch in particular reside in the manner in which the watch and the bracelet are reversible independently of each other without integral pivots of the watch case and in the manner in which the elements are interchangeable in the cases where it is desired to modify the arrangement of the constituent elements or to replace them.
  • a device allowing the reversal and interchangeability including a watch with respect to a bracelet advantageously consists of two watch boxes integral with each other and a bracelet at the ends of which are located two removable fasteners .
  • the watch boxes are secured to each other by including 4 screws which are introduced by the dial side of the first and are fixed in particular in the lower part of the second box.
  • the assembly of the boxes has two opposite cavities which are obtained by milling the middle of the boxes and are located on the sides where the ends of the bracelet must be fixed.
  • the bracelet makes it possible to secure the assembly of the watch cases, or to dissociate it to make it interchangeable, by means of the removable fastening elements which serve as pivot points for said assembly of the watch cases, this in the case where the user would like to make visible the one or the other of the dials, or to return the bracelet in the case where he would only want to return the bracelet to discover one or the other of its faces.
  • the user may have an assembly having on one side a watch case and a decorative piece such as an engraved plate on the other side.
  • the device according to the invention is mounted on a watch whose watch case constitutes a returnable and interchangeable element or consists of an assembly of two boxes.
  • the support is a watchband.
  • a fastener is located at each end of the bracelet and has a pivot which is introduced into the lateral cavity of the middle of the watch cases.
  • a device for reversing and interchangeability in particular of a watch, consists of two watch cases (100, 104) secured by means, in particular screws (300: 303-Fig. 7), and a bracelet (204- Fig. 11) at the ends of which are located two removable fastening elements (203- Fig.10 and 11).
  • the device allowing the reversal and interchangeability including an object consists, in the case illustrated in Figure 8, the box (100) and a decorative element (280).
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an assembly of two middle portions (110, 111) of watch cases (100, 104) constituting the median portions of the boxes (100, 104) in which there are watch movements (not shown) which operate autonomously.
  • the middle portions (110, 111) of the boxes (100, 104) have opposite cavities (120, 121) obtained by milling and which consist of a circular portion (130, 131), a pivot (202-FIG. oblong part (140,141).
  • the parts (130,131) allow the introduction of a base (210-Fig. 10 and 11) and the parts (140,141) serve to guide a body (211-Fig. 10 and 11) of the pivot (202).
  • Cavities (150: 153) are located on horn walls (160: 163) (170: 173) and are adapted to receive retractable balls (200-Fig. 10 and 11).
  • the cavities (120,121) are machined in a separate plate (600-Fig. 6), in particular steel to reinforce the device in the case where the material used for the manufacture of the boxes (100,104) is not very resistant.
  • the balls (200) are arranged on a front face (801) of a removable fastening element (203) which implies that the cavities (150: 153) are located on the faces (112,113) of the watch case (100,104) as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the bracelet (204) has a central opening (500-Fig. 5) on its front part (220) allowing the insertion of the body (211). the pivot (202) and a ring of the bracelet (204) for the introduction of the removable fastening element (203).
  • the ends bearing the buckle and opposite the two parts of the bracelet (204) are advantageously equipped with a device for closing the bracelet regardless of its orientation.
  • the removable fastening element (203) has two ends in which the retractable balls (200) are pushed outwards by springs (205-Fig. 10 and 11).
  • the removable attachment element (203) is inserted into the ring of the bracelet (204).
  • the body (211) of the pivot (202), which carries the base (210), is secured perpendicularly through the central orifice (500) located on the front portion (220) of the bracelet (204) to the element removable attachment (203).
  • the removable fixing element (203) is of parallelepipedal volume and the balls (200) are arranged on the front face (801) of the removable fastening element (203), such that seen previously.
  • the removable fastening elements (203) are thus secured to the ends of the bracelet (204).
  • the bases (210) of the pivots (202) are introduced into the circular portions (130, 131) of the cavities (120, 121) and are displaced axially along the openings (190, 191-Fig. 4) located at the rear of the oblong parts. (140, 141) which serve as guides to the bodies (211) of the pivots (202).
  • the bases (210) then prevent the removable fastening elements (203) from coming out of the cavities (120, 121).
  • the elements making up the device are in particular the box (100) and the decorative element (280).
  • the cavities (120,121) are machined in one piece and located on the sides (112,113) of the middle part (110) which has the effect of refocusing longitudinally the center of gravity of said device.
  • removable attachment element (203) of the case illustrated in FIG. 12 is feasible according to all the variants adopted by the user.
  • the device of the present invention allows reversibility and interchangeability, independently of one another, including a watch and a bracelet.
