Abstract

The dial has a housing (3) in which an oscillating weight (5) is mounted movable around a rotation axle (9). The axle possesses a ball bearing or a sufficient clearance for permitting the rotation of the weight around the axle and with respect to the dial. The weight has a central opening (6) that is superposed with a central opening (4) of the dial, and a diameter lower than that of the housing. An independent claim is also included for a watch comprising a dial.

Description

L'invention concerne un cadran de montre ainsi qu'une montre possédant un tel cadran.The invention relates to a watch face and a watch having such a dial.

Selon l'art antérieur, il est connu de décorer les cadrans de montre par toutes sortes de marquages, comme des chiffres, des mots ou des dessins, des zones de couleur, réalisés par des systèmes d'impression classiques ou en fixant sur sa surface des éléments de décoration comme des pierres précieuses. Cette décoration dite "statique" est parfois considérée comme monotone et insuffisante.According to the prior art, it is known to decorate the watch dials by all kinds of markings, such as numbers, words or drawings, color zones, made by conventional printing systems or by fixing on its surface decorative elements such as precious stones. This decoration called "static" is sometimes considered monotonous and insufficient.

Une autre solution de l'art antérieur pour créer un effet esthétique pour une montre, dite "dynamique", consiste à rendre visible certains mécanismes intérieurs à la montre en utilisant des surfaces de montre au moins partiellement transparentes, comme des cadrans ou des fonds de montre transparents. Une telle solution est par exemple utilisée pour rendre visible le mouvement de balancier de l'élément de rechargement automatique qui est placé dans la base de certaines montres, mouvement provoqué par le mouvement du bras du porteur de la montre. Cette solution n'est possible que dans le cas des montres possédant un tel mécanisme particulier. De plus, dans le cas d'une partie du cadran transparent, la lisibilité de l'heure est moins facile. Enfin, si on choisit un cadran transparent, il n'est plus possible de le décorer par des marquages selon la solution rappelée précédemment.Another solution of the prior art for creating an aesthetic effect for a so-called "dynamic" watch is to make visible certain mechanisms inside the watch using at least partially transparent watch surfaces, such as dials or backdrops. transparent watch. Such a solution is for example used to make visible the pendulum movement of the automatic reloading element which is placed in the base of some watches, movement caused by the movement of the arm of the wearer of the watch. This solution is possible only in the case of watches with such a particular mechanism. In addition, in the case of part of the transparent dial, the readability of the time is less easy. Finally, if we choose a transparent dial, it is no longer possible to decorate it with markings according to the solution mentioned above.

Une autre solution esthétique est proposée dans l'art antérieur, qui repose sur l'ajout d'un mécanisme particulier permettant de provoquer un mouvement de rotation plus ou moins aléatoire des aiguilles d'une montre pendant un temps déterminé suite à la pression d'un certain bouton. Cette solution nécessite un mécanisme particulier qui s'applique aux aiguilles, ce qui complique fortement l'ensemble de la mécanique de la montre, en augmente son coût et diminue sa fiabilité.Another aesthetic solution is proposed in the prior art, which is based on the addition of a particular mechanism for causing a more or less random rotation of the hands of a clock for a predetermined time following the pressure of a certain button. This solution requires a particular mechanism that applies to the needles, which greatly complicates the entire mechanics of the watch, increases its cost and decreases its reliability.

Un objet de la présente invention consiste à proposer une autre solution de décoration esthétique d'une montre qui ne possède pas les inconvénients précédents.An object of the present invention is to provide another aesthetic decoration solution of a watch that does not have the above disadvantages.

Plus précisément, un premier objet de la présente invention consiste à proposer une solution de décoration dynamique d'une montre qui est simple et bon marché.More specifically, a first object of the present invention is to provide a dynamic decoration solution of a watch that is simple and inexpensive.

Un second objet de la présente invention consiste à proposer une solution de décoration qui permet l'utilisation des marquages de l'art antérieur.A second object of the present invention is to provide a decorative solution that allows the use of markings of the prior art.

Le concept de l'invention consiste à monter mobile en rotation un ou plusieurs éléments décoratifs dans l'épaisseur ou à la surface du cadran d'une montre.The concept of the invention consists in mounting one or more decorative elements in rotation in the thickness or on the surface of the dial of a watch.

Selon le premier mode d'exécution de l'invention, illustré aux figures 1 à 4, le cadran 1 comprend une première partie annulaire 2 et une seconde partie circulaire centrale 3, de plus faible épaisseur, comprenant au centre du cadran une ouverture 4. Une masse oscillante 5 circulaire est destinée à se loger dans la partie circulaire centrale 3 du cadran qui définit un logement à cet effet. Cette masse 5 comprend un diamètre légèrement inférieur à celui du logement 3 pour éviter les frottements sur ses extrémités et comprend une ouverture centrale 6 qui vient se superposer à l'ouverture 4 du cadran. Elle comprend de plus une première partie 7 de plus faible épaisseur qu'une seconde partie 8, cette seconde épaisseur correspondant à la hauteur définie par le logement 3 du cadran, de sorte que la surface supérieure de la masse oscillante 5 se trouve au même niveau que la surface supérieure du cadran 2 lorsqu'elle est logée dans son logement 3. Ses deux parties 7 et 8 d'épaisseur différente assurent une répartition non uniforme de sa masse autour de son ouverture centrale 6. La masse oscillante 5 est liée au cadran 1 par l'intermédiaire d'un axe 9 qui traverse les ouvertures 4 et 6.According to the first embodiment of the invention, illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the dial 1 comprises a first annular portion 2 and a second central circular portion 3, of smaller thickness, comprising in the center of the dial an opening 4. A circular oscillating mass 5 is intended to be housed in the central circular part 3 of the dial which defines a housing for this purpose. This mass 5 comprises a diameter slightly smaller than that of the housing 3 to avoid friction on its ends and comprises a central opening 6 which is superimposed on the opening 4 of the dial. It also includes a first part 7 of smaller thickness than a second portion 8, this second thickness corresponding to the height defined by the housing 3 of the dial, so that the upper surface of the oscillating mass 5 is at the same level as the upper surface of the dial 2 when it is housed in its housing 3. Its two parts 7 and 8 of different thickness provide a non-uniform distribution of its mass around its central opening 6. The oscillating mass 5 is linked to the dial 1 via an axis 9 which passes through the openings 4 and 6.

Cet axe 9 est un élément à roulement à billes 10, composé de deux cylindres 11 et 12 pouvant tourner librement l'un par rapport à l'autre grâce au roulement à billes 10. Le cylindre extérieur 11 a une hauteur et un diamètre correspondant aux dimensions de l'ouverture 4 du cadran de sorte d'être fixé au cadran 1 dans cette ouverture 4. Le cylindre intérieur 12 a une plus grande hauteur et un plus petit diamètre tels qu'il traverse l'ouverture 6 de la masse oscillante 5 pour former une liaison solidaire.This axis 9 is a ball bearing element 10, composed of two cylinders 11 and 12 which can rotate freely with respect to one another thanks to the ball bearing 10. The outer cylinder 11 has a height and a diameter corresponding to the dimensions of the opening 4 of the dial so as to be fixed to the dial 1 in this opening 4. The inner cylinder 12 has a greater height and a smaller diameter as it passes through the opening 6 of the oscillating mass 5 to form a solid bond.

Le cylindre intérieur 12 définit une ouverture intérieure cylindrique 13 qui permet le passage d'un autre axe depuis l'intérieur de la montre vers la partie supérieure du cadran, afin de supporter au moins une aiguille par exemple. Selon ce premier mode d'exécution, la masse oscillante est montée mobile en rotation sur le cadran autour d'un axe qui correspond à l'axe de rotation des aiguilles.The inner cylinder 12 defines a cylindrical inner opening 13 which allows the passage of another axis from the inside of the watch towards the upper part of the dial, in order to support at least one needle for example. According to this first embodiment, the oscillating mass is rotatably mounted on the dial about an axis corresponding to the axis of rotation of the needles.

Ce montage permet donc une liberté de rotation de la masse oscillante 5 autour de l'axe 9 par rapport au cadran 1. Du fait de la répartition non uniforme des masses autour de cet axe 9, la masse oscillante 5 va être mise en rotation très simplement par le mouvement du bras du porteur de la montre. En effet, ce mouvement va modifier la position du cadran dans l'espace et placer la masse oscillante dans des positions hors d'équilibre mécanique, induisant ainsi son mouvement de rotation sous l'effet des forces de gravité. Du fait de la liaison avec roulement à billes, cette rotation sera peu limitée par des forces de frottement et pourra être de grande amplitude.This arrangement therefore allows a freedom of rotation of the oscillating mass 5 around the axis 9 relative to the dial 1. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the masses around this axis 9, the oscillating mass 5 will be rotated very simply by the movement of the wearer's arm. Indeed, this movement will change the position of the dial in space and place the oscillating mass in out of equilibrium positions mechanical, thus inducing its rotational movement under the effect of gravitational forces. Due to the connection with ball bearings, this rotation will be limited by friction forces and may be of great amplitude.

Les figures 5 et 6 représentent un second mode d'exécution de l'invention. Ce second mode d'exécution diffère du premier en ce que l'axe 9 ne possède plus de roulement à billes. Il s'agit d'un simple cylindre de hauteur égale à l'épaisseur du cadran 1, sa partie inférieure étant liée à la partie 3 du cadran par son ouverture 4 et sa partie supérieure étant liée à la masse oscillante 5 par son ouverture 6. Un jeu est prévu au niveau de la liaison entre l'axe 9 et la masse 5 afin de permettre sa rotation autour de l'axe, au contraire de la liaison entre le cadran et l'axe 9.Figures 5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the invention. This second embodiment differs from the first in that the axis 9 no longer has a ball bearing. It is a simple cylinder of height equal to the thickness of the dial 1, its lower part being connected to the part 3 of the dial by its opening 4 and its upper part being connected to the oscillating mass 5 by its opening 6 A clearance is provided at the connection between the axis 9 and the mass 5 in order to allow its rotation about the axis, unlike the connection between the dial and the axis 9.

Les figures 7 et 8 représentent un troisième mode d'exécution de l'invention, qui diffère des deux précédents par la forme de la masse oscillante d'une part, et son positionnement sur un logement 3 au-dessus de la surface du cadran 1 et non plus intégré dans son épaisseur. Elle est reliée au cadran par un axe 9 dont la surface cylindrique extérieure vient en liaison avec les surfaces intérieures des ouvertures 4 et 6 respectivement du cadran 1 et de la masse oscillante 5. Cet axe possède un chapeau 14 qui repose sur la surface de la masse 5, cette liaison avec cette masse possédant un jeu suffisant afin de permettre la rotation de la masse autour de l'axe.Figures 7 and 8 show a third embodiment of the invention, which differs from the previous two by the shape of the oscillating mass on the one hand, and its positioning on a housing 3 above the surface of the dial 1 and no longer integrated in its thickness. It is connected to the dial by an axis 9 whose outer cylindrical surface connects with the inner surfaces of the openings 4 and 6 respectively of the dial 1 and the oscillating mass 5. This axis has a cap 14 which rests on the surface of the mass 5, this connection with this mass having sufficient clearance to allow the rotation of the mass about the axis.

Enfin, la figure 9 représente un quatrième mode d'implémentation qui comprend quatre petites masses oscillantes placées dans quatre logements circulaires 3 du cadran 1 et maintenues par quatre axes 9. Les masses oscillantes ont une forme non circulaire qui assure la non uniformité de la répartition des masses autour de leur axe 9 et n'occupent pas toute la surface du logement 3, laissant toujours visible une partie de cette surface. Les axes 9 peuvent éventuellement posséder une ouverture 13 pour le passage de l'axe d'une aiguille pour une fonction de chronomètre ou d'indication des secondes par exemple. En variante, les axes 9 sont pleins et de plus petite taille, aucune aiguille ne les traversant.Finally, FIG. 9 represents a fourth embodiment which comprises four small oscillating masses placed in four circular housings 3 of the dial 1 and held by four axes 9. The oscillating masses have a non-circular shape which ensures the nonuniformity of the distribution. masses around their axis 9 and occupy not the entire surface of the housing 3, always leaving visible part of this surface. The axes 9 may optionally have an opening 13 for the passage of the axis of a needle for a stopwatch function or indication of seconds for example. Alternatively, the axes 9 are full and smaller, no needle passing through them.

Finalement, les avantages de la solution sont donc les suivants :

  • elle permet les mêmes possibilités de marquage et décoration statique du cadran que l'art antérieur ;
  • elle ajoute en combinaison avec les décorations statiques une décoration dynamique par au moins un élément qui bouge, ce mouvement reposant sur une mécanique très simple et peu encombrante puisque uniquement superficielle, dans l'épaisseur du cadran ;
  • cette solution est compatible avec toute forme de masses mobiles de décoration, de type coeur, étoiles... et en nombre quelconque.
Finally, the advantages of the solution are as follows:
  • it allows the same possibilities of marking and static decoration of the dial as the prior art;
  • it adds in combination with the static decorations a dynamic decoration by at least one moving element, this movement resting on a very simple and space-saving mechanism since only superficial, in the thickness of the dial;
  • this solution is compatible with any form of moving masses of decoration, heart type, stars ... and in any number.
