Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a correction device for a timepiece such as a wristwatch for correcting information provided by an indicator mechanism.
  • accessory control means such as pushbuttons.
  • miniature pushers essentially comprising a sleeve driven or glued into an opening made in the middle part of the watch and a cylindrical rod formed in one piece and able to slide freely in the socket.
  • the rod comprises a first portion passing through an opening formed at the inner end of the socket, and a second portion of diameter greater than the diameter of the first portion and comprising a groove serving as a housing for a sealing gasket cooperating with the inner wall of said socket.
  • Such a push button comprises a spiral-shaped return spring.
  • the correction operations are done by pushing the rod into the socket by means of a pointed instrument such as a ballpoint pen for example.
  • a pointed instrument such as a ballpoint pen for example.
  • the push rod abuts against a lever by which the correction takes place. This depression compresses the spring. If we release the pressure on the rod, it will return to its rest position under the effect of the spring restoring force.
  • Pushers of the type described above have very small dimensions. Such pushers can save space. In addition, they do not protrude from the middle part and therefore do not risk being actuated accidentally. However, they have the disadvantage of being unattractive and require the use of a tool to be operated.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks as well as others by providing a correction device for a timepiece for correcting information that is an alternative to miniature pushers of the prior art.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece corrector device according to claim 1.
  • the present invention provides a correction device that can be actuated very simply by the wearer of the watch by means of a finger or a fingernail. No tools are needed for such an operation.
  • the aesthetic appearance of the watch is also substantially improved to the extent that any suitable shape can be given to the control lever which can espouse the general outer forms of the watch case.
  • control and actuation levers are rigidly connected to each other by means of a rod.
  • the constituent means of the corrector device according to the invention are of simple construction, which makes it possible to reduce manufacturing costs and to guarantee reliable operation of such a device.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in providing a corrective device for the correction of information provided by an indicating mechanism, in particular a multifunctional watch which is easy to handle and which does not detract from the aesthetic aspect. of the watch and which is of a simple construction.
  • the figure 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 telescope 4 and a base 6 are fixed.
  • the watch could be of the monocoque 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 a mean plane P substantially parallel to the plane defined by the bottom 6.
  • This movement may be purely mechanical or be of the electromechanical type powered by a source of electricity. electric energy (not shown).
  • the watch could also be of purely digital type with, for example, a liquid crystal display device and comprise an additional indicator mechanism as described below, 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 an actuating lever 16 connected to each other by a rotational connecting member 18 adapted to rotate about a general axis of symmetry XX.
  • the connecting member 18 is in the form of a rod 20 fitting into the casing 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 female square holes 26 and 28 provided in the control lever 14 and the actuating lever 16, so that said two levers 14 and 16 are locked in position. rotation relative to said rod 20.
  • the cylindrical rod 20 also has a groove 30 in which is housed a seal 32. To its lower end, the rod 20 also has a diameter shrinkage for mounting an elastic ring 34 which serves for the axial immobilization of the actuating lever 16.
  • the corrector device 12 is mounted in the following manner.
  • 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 into the interior of the volume 8 defined by the middle part 2 and which is adapted in shape and dimensions to receive the actuating lever 16.
  • the actuating 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 found integral in rotation with said rod 20.
  • the downward movement of the rod 20 is interrupted when it abuts against the bottom 40 of the cavity 38.
  • the elastic ring 34 can be engaged on the rod 20 so as to axially immobilize the actuating lever 16 relative to said rod 20.
  • the following operation consists in mounting 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. 14. The lever 14 is thus 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.
  • 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 control lever 14 thus 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 actuated, for example by remaining attached to the sleeve of a garment.
  • the general axis of symmetry XX of the corrector device 12 extends, in the examples shown in the drawing, substantially perpendicular to the plane P of the movement 10.
  • the corrector device 12 could also extend parallel to the plane of the movement being engaged radially 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 be time-related. It can be, for example, the day of the week or phases of the moon. But the information may also have no connection with time.
  • the indicator mechanism 46 may for example be a counter that is incremented to record the score of a round of golf.
  • the actuating lever 16 cooperates with a correction lever 48 which itself is engaged, directly or indirectly, with the indicator mechanism 46 whose information it provides are to be corrected. It suffices for the user to pivot by means of a finger the control lever 14. This pivoting movement is transmitted by the rod 20 to the actuating lever 16 which in turn causes the correction lever 48.
  • the correction lever 48 can exert a resilient restoring force on the corrector device 12 to return the control lever 14 to its rest position.
  • control lever may be provided with a lug 50 for ease of handling.
