Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a corrective device for a timepiece such as a wristwatch making it possible to correct information supplied by an indicator mechanism.
  • a timepiece such as a wristwatch
  • accessory control means such as push buttons.
  • miniature pushers essentially comprising a bushing driven out or glued into an opening made in the middle of the watch and a cylindrical rod formed in one piece and capable of sliding freely in the socket.
  • the rod has a first part passing through an opening formed at the inner end of the bushing, and a second part of diameter larger than the diameter of the first part and comprising a groove serving as a housing for a seal fitting cooperating with the inner wall of said socket.
  • a push button comprises a return spring in the form of a spiral. Correction operations are carried out by pushing the rod into the socket using a pointed instrument such as a ballpoint pen for example. During its advance movement, the push rod comes into abutment against a lever by which the correction takes place. This depression compresses the spring. If the pressure on the rod is released, it will return to its rest position under the effect of the spring return force. Pushers of the kind described above have very small dimensions. Such pushers therefore save space.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks as well as others by providing a corrective device for a timepiece making it possible to correct information which constitutes an alternative to the miniature pushers of the prior art.
  • the present invention relates to a corrective device for a timepiece making it possible to correct information supplied by an indicator mechanism, the timepiece comprising a box defining a volume, the device being characterized in that it comprises a control lever located outside the volume of the box and actuable by a user, and an actuation lever located inside the volume of the box and cooperating with the indicator mechanism whose information is to be corrected, the control lever and the actuation lever being connected together by a rotary connecting member capable of rotating about a general axis of symmetry. Thanks to these characteristics, the present invention provides a corrective device which can be actuated very simply by the wearer of the watch by means of a finger or a fingernail. No tools are necessary for such an operation.
  • the aesthetic appearance of the watch is also significantly improved to the extent that any suitable shape can be given to the control lever which can in particular match the general exterior shapes of the watch case.
  • the control and actuation levers are rigidly connected to each other by means of a rod.
  • the constituent means of the corrective device according to the invention are of simple construction, which makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing costs and to guarantee reliable operation of such a device.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a watch case along an axis parallel to the 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock axis.
  • this watch case essentially comprises a middle part 2 on which a bezel 4 and a base 6 are fixed.
  • the watch could be of the monocoque type, it that is to say that the middle part 2 / bezel 4 or middle part 2 / back 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 a mean plane P substantially parallel to the plane defined by the bottom 6.
  • This movement can be purely mechanical or be of the electromechanical type 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 additional indicator mechanism as described below, the information provided of which could be corrected by means of the corrective device according to the invention.
  • said corrective device according to the invention comprises a control lever 14 and an actuation lever 16 interconnected by a rotary connecting member 18 able to rotate about a general axis of symmetry XX.
  • the connecting member 18 is in the form of a rod 20 which fits into the envelope of a cylinder and at the two ends of which are rigidly fixed the control lever 14 located outside the volume 8 of the box 1 and the actuation 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 female square holes 26 and 28 provided in the control lever 14 and the actuation lever 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 groove 30 in which is housed a seal 32.
  • the rod 20 Towards its lower end, the rod 20 also has a narrowing in diameter for mounting an elastic ring 34 which is used for the axial immobilization of the actuating lever 16.
  • the mounting of the corrector device 12 according to the invention takes place as follows.
  • the rod 20 provided with its seal 32 is introduced into a through hole 36 formed in the middle part 2 of the watch.
  • This through hole 36 communicates with a cavity 38 which opens inside the volume 8 delimited by the middle part 2 and which is adapted in shape and dimensions to receive the actuation lever 16.
  • the actuation lever 16 being introduced by its end having the female square 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 secured in rotation with said rod 20.
  • the lowering movement of the rod 20 is interrupted when the latter abuts against the bottom 40 of the cavity 38.
  • the next operation consists in mounting the control lever 14 on the rod 20 by engaging the male square which said rod 20 has at its upper end in the female square hole 26 of said lever. control 14.
  • the 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 rod 20. It will be observed that, according to a preferred but nonlimiting embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 3, the control lever 14 is embedded in a recess 42 formed in the lower surface of one of the horns 44 of the case 1. The control lever 14 thus does not protrude from the surface of the case 1 of the watch, which improves the aesthetic appearance of the latter and prevents said said lever 14 is inadvertently actuated by remaining, for example, hanging on the sleeve of a garment.
  • the general axis of symmetry XX of the corrective device 12 according to the invention extends, in the examples shown in the drawing, substantially perpendicular to the plane P of the movement 10.
  • the corrective device 12 could also extend parallel to the plane of movement while being engaged radially in the middle.
  • the correcting device 12 is intended to allow a user to correct an indication supplied by an indicator mechanism 46.
  • the information to be corrected can be linked to time. It can be, for example, the day of the week or the phases of the moon. But the information may also be unrelated to time.
  • the indicator mechanism 46 may for example be a counter which is incremented to record the score of a round of golf.
  • the actuating lever 16 cooperates with a correcting lever 48 which itself is engaged, directly or indirectly, with the indicator mechanism 46 whose information it provides is to be corrected. It suffices for this that the user rotates by means of a finger the control lever 14.
