  • the document US 3,759,033 describing a timepiece comprising at least one sliding pusher that can be actuated indirectly by a pivoting lever mounted on the timepiece box, or the document US 2,679,135 describing a pocket watch or wristwatch of the type of a simplified chronograph including maneuvering organs on the edge of the box.
  • buttons increase the overall size of the watch and have the disadvantage of constituting hooking elements. They are not easy to handle, especially when the user wears gloves. Their protruding shape can be unpleasant to wear and a massive appearance and unattractive. In addition, their protection against the penetration of water and dirt is difficult to guarantee especially when handling the push buttons in a humid or polluting environment.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to create a timepiece without visible external pushbuttons, in which the functions integrated in the movement, such as the chronograph functions, can be actuated very easily, even with gloves, and in which the function controls have a well-defined and very precise operation and a solid and long-lasting constructions.

  • the external push buttons are removed, the activation of the controls of the movement functions is facilitated, even with gloves.
  • the claimed characteristics allow a construction of great strength and longevity, a precise operation through a tilting movement around a given pivot axis, while providing a great wearing comfort and an aesthetic appearance.
  • the movement comprises first and second control members accessible from the outside and intended to activate at least a first and a second function, such as start / stop and reset chronograph functions, the timepiece comprising two actuating mechanisms of which a first and a second one is arranged for actuating the first and second control members respectively during the tilting movement of the moving part in a first direction, respectively a second sense opposite to the first sense.
  • a first and a second function such as start / stop and reset chronograph functions
  • the fixed part comprises a stretcher constituted by two pieces of horns and a frame which is provided with two diametrically opposed pivot portions intended to cooperate with the movable part to allow two-way tilting movement. opposed.
  • the construction thus obtained is particularly reliable and of increased strength and longevity.
  • the movable portion advantageously comprises a middle mounted pivotally on the stretcher thanks to the two pivot pieces, this middle ringing the movement and being sealed downwardly by a bottom and upwards by a bezel and an ice.
  • said at least one actuating mechanism is mounted in the middle part and comprises at least one first element cooperating with the stretcher and connected to at least one second element cooperating with said at least one control member of the movement.
  • the timepiece comprises selection means mounted movably on the movable part and intended to prevent a tilting movement of the movable part along said first and / or second direction when it occupies at least one position predetermined.
  • the selection means comprise a slide movably mounted on the middle part and comprise a face intended to cooperate with at least a portion of the stretcher, the face and the portion being shaped so as to allow either a tilting movement of the part movable in two opposite directions in a first position of the slider, either a tilting movement of the movable part in a single direction in a second position of the slider, or no movement of the tilting of the movable part in a third position of the slider.
  • the figure 1 is a plan view of this embodiment in the form of a chronograph without pushbuttons.
  • the figure 2 is an exploded view of this chronograph.
  • FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C are sectional views along line III-III of the figure 1 showing the chronograph in a rest position 3A, in a start / stop control position 3B, and in a reset position 3C.
  • FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C are plan views of chronograph features in rest positions 4A, start / stop 4B and reset 4C.
  • FIGS 5 and 6 are sectional views along the lines VV and VI-VI of the figure 1 and show peculiarities.
  • the figure 7 is a sectional view along the line VII-VII of the figure 1 and represents the selection means.
  • FIGS. 8A, 8B and 8C are views of this embodiment in the rest positions 8A, start / stop 8B and reset 8C.
  • This chronograph 8 comprises a watch case 9 comprising a fixed part 10 and a movable part 11 mounted pivotally on the fixed part 10.
  • the latter consists of a frame 12 and two portions of horns 14,15 assembled to the frame 12 by screws 16 to form a stretcher 20 which is intended to support the movable part 11.
  • This movable part 11 comprises a middle part 21 closed downwards in a sealed manner by a bottom 22 screwed with a seal 19.
  • the following elements are mounted in the middle and visible at the figure 2 from bottom to top: a movement 23, a dial 24, indicator members 25, an inner bezel 26 screwed to the middle part, a sleeve 27 made of plastic material, an ice seal 28 and an ice-cream 29, and a crown 33 of usual construction.
  • the caseband 21 is pivotally mounted on the stretcher 20 by means of two screws 30 intended to cooperate with two pivot portions 31 provided on the frame 12 in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions.
  • the movement 23 comprises two control members 40, 41 ( figure 4 ) accessible from the outside of the movement and intended for the activation of at least two functions, here the functions of start / stop and reset chronograph.
  • These control members 40, 41 are conventionally arranged at two o'clock and at four o'clock.
  • the timepiece is provided with two identical actuating mechanisms 44, 45 cooperating with the fixed and movable parts 10, 11 to transform the tilting movement of the movable part 11 into a action on one or the other of the control members 40, 41.
  • the two actuating mechanisms 44, 45 are mounted in the middle part 21 and each comprise a piston 46 ( Fig. 3A, 3B ) slidably mounted in the middle part 21 and provided with a spring 47 and a seal 48.
  • the lower end of the piston 46 cooperates with a recess 49 provided in the stretcher 20, while the head of the piston 46 is in contact with a first return 50 which is rotatably mounted around a screw 51 arranged horizontally in the middle part 21.
  • This first reference 50 actuates a second return 52 mounted by means of a ball bearing on a vertical shaft 53 of the middle part ( Fig. 4A ).

  • the curved end 56 of the lever 54 is intended to actuate the control 40 or 41 of the movement 23.
  • the two actuating mechanisms 44, 45 have an identical and symmetrical construction with respect to a plane of symmetry passing through 3 hours and 9 hours one 44 actuating the command 40 start / stop, the other 45 the control 41 reset the chronograph.
  • the tilting movement of the movable portion 11 in the two opposite directions is limited by two adjustable stops 60 mounted by screwing into the stretcher 20 at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock ( figure 5 ).
  • the amplitude of movement of the levers 56 is limited by stop screws 61 mounted on the middle part 21 ( Figure 4B ).
  • the caseband 21 is provided with two balancing pushers 62 ( Fig. 2 and 6 ) mounted next to the two pistons 46 and intended to cooperate elastically with recesses 63 provided in the stretcher 20.
  • the timepiece further comprises a selection mechanism 66 ( figures 2 and 7 ) mounted on the middle part 21 and having a slider 67 to be actuated by the user and a slider 68 screwed on the slider.
  • a selection mechanism 66 ( figures 2 and 7 ) mounted on the middle part 21 and having a slider 67 to be actuated by the user and a slider 68 screwed on the slider.
  • the lower face of the slider 68 has a recess 69 and is intended to cooperate with three pins 70, 71, 72 driven into bores of the stretcher 20 to perform a selection of the movements of the movable part (11).
  • the figure 7 further shows the assembly of the parts of the stretcher 20 having the two portions of horns 14, 15 screwed to the frame 12 by means of the screws 16.
  • the facing faces 75,76 of the stretcher 20 and the movable part 11 are machined so as to forming cylindrical surfaces with a spherical base with a very small gap allowing sliding relative to each other during the tilting movement about the pivot axis 32 which constitutes the central axis of the cylindrical surfaces.
  • FIGS. 3C and 7 show that the underside of the stretcher facing the wrist of the user has a concave middle part 80 ensuring a high wearing comfort.
  • This middle portion is surrounded by a flat peripheral portion 81 for a stable position of the timepiece disposed on a flat support.
