Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a watch of the type comprising a rotating inner member provided with a control member operable from outside the box.
  • Such watches are known and marketed. This is, conventionally, diving watches having a rotating inner bezel.
  • control member accessible from outside the box.
  • This type of control member is generally formed of a rod passing radially through the box, a ring fixed to the outer end of the rod and a pinion fixed to its inner end. Fixing the pinion to the rod can be achieved in different ways, removable or not.
  • the pinion is secured to a tubular portion axially slotted so as to form two radially resilient arms.
  • a recess is provided inside the tubular portion between the two arms.
  • the rod is provided with a head resiliently engaged in said recess, so as to ensure the axial and radial positioning of the pinion on the rod.
  • FIG. 1 represents a partial sectional view of a watch comprising a movable element.
  • the watch represented in figure 1 typically comprises a box 10 formed of a middle part 12, a cap 14 and a bottom 16 together defining a housing 18 in which is mounted a movement 20.
  • An ice 22 closes the box 10 sealingly.
  • the movement 20 is surmounted by a dial 24.
  • a circular clearance 26 formed in the middle part 12 forms a shoulder 28 at the height of the dial 24.
  • a rotating bezel 30, interposed between the dial 24 and the mirror 22, is partially housed in the circular clearance 26, which ensures its axial positioning and its rotation guide.
  • the lower face of the rotating bezel 30 has a first flat circular portion 32a arranged opposite the periphery of the dial 24 so as to mask, and a second flat circular portion 32b bearing on the shoulder 28. It further comprises an intermediate circular portion 32c located between the first and second flat portions 32a and 32b, and forming a toothing 34.
  • a control member 36 actuates the rotating bezel 30.
  • a hole 38 passes radially through the middle part 12.
  • An intermediate tube 40 having a particularly good internal surface state is screwed inside the hole 38.
  • a rod 42 of longitudinal axis AA is mounted inside the tube 40 so that its ends protrude outside and inside the box 10.
  • a ring 44 is fixed at a first proximal end, while a pinion 46 is attached to a second distal end.
  • the stem assembly 42 - crown 44 - pinion 46 forms the control member 36 of the telescope 30.
  • the latter is arranged in the middle part 12 so that the pinion 46 meshes with the edge toothing 34.
  • the rotation of the crown 44 actuated by the user thus causes the rotation of the telescope 30 inside the box 10.
  • the pinion 46 is fixed to the distal end of the rod 42 by screwing and gluing. This method of fixing ensures the axial and angular positioning of the pinion 46 relative to the rod 42, which allows the transmission of the rotational movement of the control member 36 to the telescope 30.
  • screwing and gluing it is observed that such a fixation by screwing and gluing is so strong that it is virtually definitive.
  • a simple solution to this problem is to use a rod 42 whose end, with a square section, is engaged in a hole pinion 46 also square section. The pinion 46 is thus angularly blocked.
  • the axial positioning can be achieved using a circlip disposed at the end of the rod 42, in a groove located in the immediate vicinity of the pinion 46, distal side.
  • the rod 42 must be slightly longer than in the case of fixing by screwing - gluing, which is not possible because of a lack of space between the pinion 46 and the movement 20.
  • the invention makes it possible to overcome this difficulty by proposing the use of a fastening part arranged not on the movement side, as in the solution proposed above, but on the middle side 12.
  • This fastening piece is anchored in the rod 42 and the pinion 46 so as to ensure the axial positioning of the pinion 46.
  • the watch represented in figure 2 has, like the watch represented in figure 1 , a box 10 formed of a middle part 12, a cap 14 and a bottom 16 together defining a housing 18 in which is mounted a movement 20.
  • An ice 22 closes the box 10 sealingly.
  • the movement 20 is surmounted by a dial 24.
  • a rotating bezel 30 provided with a toothing 34 is interposed between the dial 24 and the mirror 22. It is actuated by a control member 36, comprising a rod 42, a crown 44 and pinion 46.
  • the watch represented in figure 2 differs from the watch shown in figure 1 in that the pinion 46 is not screwed and adhered to the inner end of the rod 42.
  • the pinion 46 is rotatably mounted at the end of the rod 42.
  • a removable fastener 48 located proximal side of the rod 42, is anchored in the rod 42 and the pinion 46 so as to ensure the axial positioning of the latter.
  • the fixing piece 48 is, moreover, resting on the intermediate tube 40 so that it opposes axial displacement of the rod 42 towards the outside of the middle part 12.
  • the distal end 50 of the rod 42 is square section.
  • a circular groove 52 is formed in the vicinity of the end 50.
  • the pinion 46 has a toothed portion 54 intended to cooperate with the toothing 34, and a short rod 56 in which is formed a circular groove 58.
  • the pinion 46 is pierced a central hole 60 with a square section.
  • the distal end 50 of square section 50 of the rod 42 is engaged in the hole 60 of square section, so that the pinion 46 is positioned angularly and radially relative to the rod 42.
  • any other form of section allowing the transmission of a torque such as a triangular or hexagonal section, is likely to be employed.
  • the fastener 48 is formed of a ring 62 and a rigid L-shaped arm 64 integral with the ring 62 and extending axially from its periphery.
  • the ring 62 is slotted so as to have a certain radial flexibility, the slot flaring slightly outwards. This feature facilitates the mounting of the ring 62 by pressure on a cylindrical piece.
  • the ring 62 is mounted in the groove 52 so that it is positioned axially and radially on the rod 42.
  • the rigid L-shaped arm 64 is then engaged in the groove 58, which has the effect of locking the pinion 46 axially.
  • the control member 36 can fulfill its function of transmitting the rotational movement of the ring 44 to the rotating bezel 30, while being easily removable.
  • the circular groove 58 could be replaced by a simple recess in which the L-shaped arm 64 is engaged.
  • the fastener could be formed of two rings of the type of the ring 62, connected together by a rigid arm.
  • the end 50 and the short rod 56 could be pierced with a hole perpendicular to the axis AA of the rod 42.
  • the arm L 64 would then be formed of a rigid portion extending axially and from a rod extending radially in the holes formed in the end 50 and the rod 56.
  • the control member 36 can actuate any rotating element, such as a bezel, a dial or a polarizer.
