Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pressure control device for a watch comprising a pusher button connected to a pusher axis passing through a pusher tube housed in the watch case, the device further comprising a compression ring screwed onto the pusher tube and a compression seal placed between the tube and the ring, the seal being compressed when the ring is in a first screwed position.
  • Such conventional devices can increase the seal of the watch by including an additional seal disposed in the space between the compression ring, the tube and the rod. This seal is compressed between the ring and the tube when the compression ring is screwed onto the tube and its inner side surface is thus pressed against the rod of the push button, thus increasing the seal between these two parts.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks of the current systems and to allow the realization of a device of the aforementioned kind whose use is simple and fast, without the need for a large angular screwing, and whose locking force does not depend on the angular displacement of the ring.
  • the present invention relates to a pressure control device comprising the features set forth in claim 1.
  • this control device comprises a compression ring which comprises on a part of its inner periphery a double axial abutment and a push button which has a lug on its outer periphery, so that the compression ring cooperates with the intermediate axial double abutment with said push button lug to lock the push button in a first screwed position of the compression ring and release it in a second unscrewed position.
  • the means to increase the sealing of the device and to block the push button are separated.
  • a small angular displacement is sufficient to lock the pusher, the locking force being more independent of this movement. Damage to the compression seal caused by forced actuation of the push button is excluded, and the use is simple and fast because the device does not require significant screwing.
  • the device comprises first a push button 1 connected to a pusher axis 2 passing through a push tube 3 which is intended to be housed in the box of a watch.
  • the push button 1 with its axis 2 is mounted on the middle part non-rotatively by conventional means.
  • the pusher shaft 2 is equipped with at least one seal 9 in order to guarantee a basic level of sealing between this axis 2 and the tube 3.
  • this axis 2 is fixed to a screw pusher 8, for example by screwing, to allow cooperation between the control device and the parts inside the watch case, thus allowing the control of any function on the watch respectively on its movement.
  • the device comprises a compression ring 4 screwed on the pusher tube 3 and a compression seal 5 placed between the tube 3 and the ring 4.
  • the compression ring 4 has substantially the shape of a hollow cylinder with an annular transverse wall 4.6 towards the middle, thus forming two pot-shaped compartments, one of which is directed towards the inside of the watch and the other towards the outside.
  • the annular wall 4.6 has an opening in the center through which the pusher axis 2 passes.
  • the inwardly facing compartment has a thread, preferably to the left, on its inner cylindrical surface so as to enable the ring 4 to be screwed on. the tube 3 having a corresponding thread on its outer surface.
  • the compression seal 5 is compressed when the ring 4 is in a first position where it is screwed onto the tube 3, thus reinforcing the level of tightness of the device.
  • the outwardly oriented compartment serves to accommodate a spiral spring 6 placed between the annular wall 4.6 of the compression ring 4 and the push button 1 so as to exert an outward-facing pre-tension on the push button. 1 and to accommodate, at least partially, the push button 1.
  • a cap 7 is fixed, for example driven or glued, on the compression ring 4 once the push button 1 and the spring 6 are in place on the ring 4.
  • This cap 7 limits the longitudinal movement of the together push shaft 2 and push button 1 outward having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the push button 1 it surrounds.
  • the cap 7 has at least one circular groove 7.1 on its outer surface serving as a dust nest to protect the inside of the watch and the device against dust intrusion, as shown in FIG. Figure 2c .
  • the compression ring 4 has on a part of its inner periphery a double axial stop 4.1, 4.2 and a double angular stop 4.3, 4.4, both of a particular geometric shape.
  • the outwardly oriented compartment of the compression ring 4 comprises on a first angular portion of its inner periphery, for example on 270 ° and on a part of its axial extent as in the first half of this compartment next to the annular wall 4.6, a smaller diameter relative to the rest of the compartment.
  • the inner periphery of this compartment of the ring 4 thus comprises a first axial abutment 4.1 located between the first and the second angular portions of smaller diameter.
  • a second axial abutment 4.2 is formed by the outer surface of the annular wall 4.6 which is not covered by the first angular portion of lower diameter of the inner periphery.
  • first and second angular portions of smaller diameter opposite their initial angular stopper 4.5 form a first angular stopper 4.3 and a second angular stopper 4.4 on the compression ring 4, as shown schematically in FIG. figure 2b .
  • the push button 1 generally has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of said first and second angular portions of the inner periphery of the ring 4.
  • it has a lug 1.1 on its outer periphery, as illustrated in FIG. figure 1 at.
  • this lug 1.1 corresponds to the geometric shape of the clearance left by the said angular portions on the inner periphery of the compartment oriented towards the outside of the compression ring 4.
  • the lug 1.1 has for example an angular extent of an angle of 90 °, but this choice, like that of the axial and angular extent of the first and second angular portions of smaller diameter of the inner periphery of the ring 4, is obviously capable of modification and represents only a particular embodiment for a device according to the invention. In general, it is sufficient that the angular extent of the pin 1.1 is less than the angle of clearance left by the first angular portion of the inner periphery of the compression ring 4.
  • the compression ring 4 cooperates with the push button 1 to lock the push button 1 in its first screwed position and release it in a second position where the ring 4 is unscrewed.
  • an axial abutment 1.4 that has the pin 1.1 of the push button 1 is in abutment against the first axial stop 4.1 of the ring 4.
  • a first angular stopper 1.2 on the pin is in this position normally aligned with the first angular abutment 4.3 of the ring 4, but the blocking of the push button 1 against its actuation is effective, with a constant locking force, in all the angular positions where the first angular stop 1.2 of the lug 1.1 is between the first 4.3 and the second stops 4.
  • the locking position is illustrated in section at the figure 3a which shows, on the one hand, that the push button 1 can not be actuated because of the vis-à-vis the first axial stop 4.1 of the ring 4 with the lug 1.1 and, secondly, that the compression seal 5 is compressed to obtain an increased seal.
  • the first angular stop 1.2 of the lug 1.1 is aligned with the second angular stop 4.4 of the tether 4.
  • a second angular abutment 1.3 on the lug 1.1 of the push button 1 bears against the initial angular abutment 4.5 of the lever 4.
  • the axial abutment 1.4 of the lug 1.1 of the push button 1 is released and the pusher is thus unlocked.
  • the compression seal 5 is no longer compressed, the sealing of the device being guaranteed by one or more seals 9.
  • FIG 3c shows the position of the device where the push button 1 is unlocked and actuated. Because of the corresponding geometric shapes on the inner periphery of the ring 4 and the lug 1.1, the initial angular abutment 4.5 and / or the second angular abutment 4.4 of the ring 4 can serve as guiding elements for the longitudinal movement of the knob. pusher 1 cooperating with the first 1.2 and second angular abutment 1.3 of its lug 1.1.
  • the compression ring 4 screwed on the push tube 3 then serves to lock the push button 1 to prevent its involuntary actuation and to ensure the seal between the tube 3 and the push rod 2.
  • the ring 4 has against against different means for different functions, including a thread to cause a displacement axial axis sufficient to compress the additional seal 5 and a double axial stop whose geometric shape allows a relatively small angular displacement is sufficient for the blocking of the push button 1.
  • the present device does not require not a significant angular displacement of the compression ring 4, since it is not the axial displacement caused by the angular displacement but directly the latter which makes the locking of the push button 1 thanks to the geometric shape of the compression ring 4
  • the locking force is not dependent on the angular displacement of the compression ring 4, but constant once the ring 4 enters the locking position. Therefore, the use of a device according to the present invention is simple and faster than that of conventional devices.
