Definitions
- the present invention relates to a timepiece having a movement-carrying case that can tilt around the hinge of a fixed housing, such as a wristwatch possibly having a chronograph function.
- the US Patent 1,804,048 describes already a device in which the mobile housing is unlockable by pressing a push-button through the middle part.
- the display is hidden when the two housings are nested, and made visible by tilting of the mobile unit by entering a tab at 12 o'clock.
- one side of the middle of the fixed housing is removed to allow to enter a corresponding middle portion of the mobile casing to unlock against the action of a spring and tilt.
- the mobile housing is also brought into the raised position under the action of a leaf spring disposed in the bottom of the fixed housing, by pressing a push button as in the first document cited.
- the document DE 1,670,977 U discloses a clock pivotally mounted in a double-hulled case that allows to enclose the entire clock of smaller size.
- the present invention therefore aims to overcome the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art by providing a timepiece and more particularly a watch comprising two nested housings, the inner housing supporting the movement can take an inclined position relative to the fixed outer casing by acting with a finger on a movable member and the dressing to print a displacement according to the plane of the timepiece to cause the unlocking of the mobile housing.
- the invention relates to a timepiece and in particular a wristwatch comprising a fixed outer casing and a tilting inner casing supporting the movement and a display of hourly or non-hourly information.
- the inner housing is articulated around an axis parallel to the reading direction of the information and arranged in the lower part of the display, ie at 6 o'clock in the case of an analog display.
- the inner casing is held in the normal position in the fixed casing by locking means and can occupy an inclined position under the action of a spring when said locking means are deactivated.
- the invention which is defined by the independent claims 1 and 2, has locking means formed by a movable member of the cladding which can be manipulated in the plane of the timepiece in rotation or in translation. In other words, the timepiece no longer includes push-button or tab-type locking means.
- This movable element of the covering can be part of either the inner housing or the outer housing.
- it is preferably constituted by a rotating bezel.
- part of the outer casing it is preferably constituted by a sliding flap disposed in the upper part of the bezel-middle.
- control means such as a crown or pushers in the case of a chronograph watch, said control means being damaged during an impact and not necessarily aesthetic.
- the outer casing makes it possible to protect the control members, and the movable element possibly makes it possible to mask them.
- the movable element is a rotating bezel integral with the inner casing and may have an asymmetrical outer contour if the timepiece is provided with control members to which it is necessary to have easy access in position. tilted, for example in the case of a chronograph watch.
- the movable element can also be only a mobile rotating bezel sector.
- the movable element is a sliding shutter disposed in the upper part of the bezel-middle of the outer casing.
- the shutter may be disposed at said control members so as to be able to hide them in the normal position.
- FIG. 1 to 11 a first embodiment of a tilting-box chronograph watch, as well as how to change the display from a normal position to a tilted position allowing a more convenient reading of the information displayed on the dial and giving access to the controls, time setting, chronograph function or others.
- the figure 1 is a perspective representation in the "normal" position, ie as we usually see a wristwatch wearing it on the wrist, with one exception: no control device is visible on the middle part of the outer casing 1 which allows the fastening of the bracelet strands 3.
- the only visible part is a display 12, which is in this example is an analog display with chronograph function, and a bezel 20 having an asymmetrical shape including a particular 21 in its outer contour.
- the telescope 20 is a rotating bezel that can be manipulated in rotation in the plane of the watch.
- the rotating bezel 20 is rotated by a certain angle ( figure 4 ) which will position the recess 21 above the place where are the control members 14, 16 and 18 and which will cause, under the action of a helical torsion spring 7, not visible in these figures, the tilting of an inner case 10 enclosing the watch movement with its display 12, as well as the control members 14, 16 and 18.
- This tilting takes place around an axis 4, arranged at 6 o'clock and passing through extensions 5, Housings 1, 10.
- the outer casing 1 has a cavity 6 whose contour corresponds to that of the outer contour of the tilting casing 10 shown in FIG. figure 7 .
- Its extensions 5a, 5b according to the direction of the bracelet strands 3 include housing 6a, 6b for receiving respectively the control members 14, 16 and 18 and the extension 15 of the inner housing 10.
- the rotating bezel 20 to an asymmetrical shape having a recess 21. It is obvious that the shape of the bezel 20 is adapted to the contour of the fixed housing, the aesthetic effect possibly sought, and type movement and control members integrated in said watch.
- a telescope having an oblong shape according to the direction of the bracelet strands and of which an elongated part covers the organs control in the locked position, and whose narrow part allows to release said bodies in the tilted position after rotation of said bezel.
- the length of the groove 2 can be limited to the length simply sufficient to allow the rotation of the bezel 20 between a position where the recess 21 is above the control members 14, 16, 18 and a position where the wider part of the telescope comes to hide them.
- the length of the groove 2 may be limited to the width of the small arm of the lug 22 L.
- it is possible to provide more than one locking lug for example by arranging two lugs symmetrically with respect to the center of rotation of the rotating bezel.
- the tilting box 10 comprises a battery door 19, opposite a corresponding opening 9 in the fixed housing 1, in order to facilitate the replacement of the battery.
- the lid of the hatch 19 is indeed not very accessible, even in the tilted position.
- This figure also shows the end of the helical torsion spring 7 whose turns are contained in a housing 8 of the extension 15 of the tilting housing 10. The other end of the spring 7 abuts against the bottom of the fixed housing 1.
- the figure 11 is a broken cross section through the center of the dial and the 2h positions. 6h. This section makes it possible to better see the location of the housing 8 of the torsion coil spring 7. This location being located in an extension 5a of the stationary housing 1 allowing the fastening of the bracelet strands, does not in any way modify the thickness of the housing and the overall aesthetic of a watch that would not be provided with such a device. This cut also makes it possible to better see the location of the groove 2 in which the pin 22 engages.
- helical torsion spring 7 is given only by way of example. It is indeed possible to use other types of spring, for example a leaf spring, or other elastic means.
- the Figures 12 and 13 represent a rectangular wristwatch wristwatch whose control members, consisting of a ring 14 and two pushbuttons 16, 18 are arranged in the upper part of the display 12, substantially between the horns for fixing the strands of bracelet 3, no other control member being visible on the middle of the fixed outer casing 1.
- the figure 12 represents in perspective such a watch in normal position, the members 14, 16, 18 being visible but not accessible.
- the figures 13 represents the same watch in which the inner housing 10 is in the tilted position, that is to say a position allowing a better reading of the display 12 and giving access to the control members 14, 16, 18.
- FIGS 17 and 18 represent in perspective only the tilting box 10 and the flap 25, also shown in different angles to the Figures 19, 20 and 21 .
- the shutter 25 is formed by a substantially rectangular plate 26 which, in the example shown in FIGS. Figures 12 to 16 has a clearance 28 to leave the control members 14, 16, 18 permanently visible in the normal position. As represented in figure 20 , the plate 26 can also be provided without clearance if it is desired on the contrary to hide the control members in the normal position.
- the plate 26 has, in its lower face to slide over a span of the middle of the fixed housing 1, two parallel grooves 27 near the edges of the short sides of the plate 26.
- the grooves 27 are closed at each end and make it possible to limit the travel of the flap 25 and to actuate the unlocking system of the tilting box 10.
- Each groove 27 is in fact designed to receive the end of a pin 29 secured perpendicularly to a slide 30, housed in a slide 35 formed in the middle of the fixed housing 1, close to its bottom, and open towards the inside of said fixed housing 1.
- the stud 29 passes through the middle part by a well 39 of oblong shape.
- the end of the slider 30 directed towards the inside of the fixed housing 1 comprises a bevel 31 and the other end directed towards the bottom of the slider 35 is provided with a helical compression spring 33 resting on the bottom of the slider 35.
