Abstract

Lunette tournante destinée à des boîtes de montres de forme non circulaire. Elle comprend un anneau (1) constitué de plusieurs éléments rigides (3,20) juxtaposés placés entre deux parois (4,5), que l'on peut faire glisser entre lesdites parois en poussant des excroissances de préhension (8) avec les doigts. L'anneau porte des signes indicateurs (6). Pour conserver aux signes indicateurs une position angulaire correcte par rapport au centre de rotation (13) des aiguilles, la distance (7) entre les parois (4,5) est plus courte dans les secteurs qui s'éloignent du centre de rotation, de façon que les éléments rigides qui se font face sont poussés latéralement les uns contre les autres dans ces secteurs. Ainsi, les côtés obliques (2) des éléments qui s'appuient sur la paroi intérieure (4) glissent contre ceux des éléments qui s'appuient contre la paroi extérieure (5), chaque élément tendant ainsi à écarter les deux éléments avec lesquels il est en contact, de sorte que l'intervalle (12) entre les signes indicateurs s'allonge localement. Des plaquettes (13) recouvrent les éléments rigides (3,20) et portent les signes indicateurs.

Rotating bezel for non-circular watch cases. It comprises a ring (1) consisting of several rigid elements (3,20) juxtaposed placed between two walls (4,5), which can be slid between said walls by pushing gripping protrusions (8) with the fingers . The ring bears indicating signs (6). To keep the indicator signs a correct angular position relative to the center of rotation (13) of the needles, the distance (7) between the walls (4,5) is shorter in sectors that move away from the center of rotation, way that the rigid elements facing each other are pushed laterally against each other in these sectors. Thus, the oblique sides (2) of the elements which rest on the inner wall (4) slide against those of the elements which rest against the outer wall (5), each element thus tending to separate the two elements with which it is in contact, so that the interval (12) between the indicator signs extends locally. Platelets (13) cover the rigid elements (3, 20) and carry the indicating signs.
