Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch case having a lid-bezel rotating in the plane of the watch to discover or hide at will at least one underlying display.
  • a first type of device corresponds to so-called “reversible” or “reverso” watches, illustrated for example in patents CH 161 610, EP 1 189 118 or WO 2004/088436.
  • the mechanism allowing the box to be turned upside down against the bottom of the housing-support is complex. It involves articulated arms, pivots, slides, etc .... that make the final product relatively expensive, fragile and often difficult to handle.
  • a second type of device uses one or two sliding shutters in straight grooves of the box, above the display.
  • Such devices correspond for example to the embodiments described in patents CH 331 285, CH 337 138 and EP 1 211 577.
  • These constructions are simpler than the previous ones, but still have the disadvantage of limiting the watch case to a shape. rectangular, to create new complications, especially at the horns if the flaps slide along the axis 6h - 12h.
  • Such devices also have the disadvantage of becoming more and more difficult to handle because of the gradual fouling of the slides in which the flaps slide.
  • a third type of device comprises a mobile cover rotating in the plane of the watch to discover or hide an underlying display, illustrated for example by the patent EP 0 488 355 comprising an analog display and digital liquid crystal (ACD).
  • a disc disposed between the rear face of the dial and LCD displays, can be rotated, either to make said displays appear through windows in the dial, or on the contrary hide them. Maneuvering this cover is not possible from outside the watch, there is provided a relatively complex mechanical drive system.
  • the present invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks of the aforementioned prior art by providing a rotating lid-bezel watch case of simple construction and easy to manipulate to hide or discover at least one underlying display.
  • the invention relates to a watch case rotating lid-bezel comprising a middle closed by a bottom defining a housing for receiving a watch movement comprising at least one eccentric display analog or digital type.
  • the box is characterized in that the lid-bezel is rotatably mounted in the plane of the box on an axis located in the center of the box and comprises at least one window having the same contour as the display and can occupy a first position wherein said display is visible and another position in which said display is masked.
  • the window of the lid-bezel can occupy a position in which it is not above any display.
  • the essential assembly element of the box is constituted by a circular middle part 3, traversed by a control member represented by a ring 2
  • the upper part of the middle part 3 is entirely covered by a lid-bezel 1, rotatable in the plane of the watch.
  • the box contains a watch movement 9 for displaying information related to time on a display 10, eccentric with respect to the center of the box, that is to say, whose outline does not extend beyond said center.
  • the display 10 is of analog type and it also has a circular shape occupying part of the lower quarter of the housing at the usual position 6h.
  • the lid-bezel 1 comprises a window 20, having substantially the same contour as that of the display 10, and positioned above said display 10 to make it visible.
  • the lid-bezel 1 has been rotated 180 °, so the display 10 is now hidden and the window 20 is above an area 22 of the housing having no display.
  • the zone 22 may be made so that it has the same appearance as the outer surface of the lid-bezel 1, that is to say, making the window 20 virtually invisible.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a second embodiment in which the wristwatch comprises a second display 12, which is represented by a digital liquid crystal display (LCD) and above which it is possible to position the window 20, the rest of the lid-bezel 1 hiding the first display 10. If it is desired to mask both displays 10, 12 at the same time, it is sufficient to turn the lid-bezel 1 by 90 ° in one direction or the other to bring the window 20 in one of the positions 19a or 19b.
  • LCD digital liquid crystal display
  • the lid-bezel 1 with two windows 20, making it possible to make two displays 10, 12 visible at the same time, or on the contrary to mask them all. two.
  • FIGS. 4-7 the construction details of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 which is a representation in plan view to show the sectional planes corresponding to FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the wristwatch comprises a central assembly element constituted by a middle part 3 comprising a circular junction plate 22 provided with an eccentric circular opening 4, into which This central connecting element 3 allows the fixation of the bracelets strands 6a, 6b, the assembly of the lid-bezel 1 to the upper part and the mounting of the movement 9 to the lower part.
  • the lid-bezel 1 covers the entire outer surface of the wristwatch and has a window 20 closed by an ice 21, having the same contour as the opening 4 and capable of being positioned above said opening, as appears more
  • the lid-bezel 1 is secured to the caseband 3 by means of a holding element 15, passing through an opening 15a located in the center of the junction plate 22.
  • One end of said element 15 is driven out. in the thickness of the lid-bezel 1, and the other end having a groove in which is engaged a spring washer 17a, and a washer limiting the friction 17b .
  • ball catches 18 Prior to assembly, ball catches 18 are placed in blind holes 18a provided in the junction plate 22, as well as a seal 13, as can be seen more clearly in the section of FIG. 6.
  • the central assembly element 3 comprises another housing 8, either to lighten the product or to receive other components, for example watchmakers, in the case where the wristwatch comprises another display 12. Finally the bottom 5 is closed, which in this case is screwed by means of screws 25.
