Definitions
- the present invention relates to a housing for shielding magnetic fields according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein the housing has at least two parts, a lower part and a top, which are adapted to surround a clockwork of a clock and shield against external magnetic fields , as well as a watch with such a housing.
- a shielding device made of soft iron is usually preferred for cost reasons to achieve a space at the place of the movement almost without disturbing magnetic fields. Even if this solution increases the size of the clock, a shield housing remains a simple and effective means of protecting movements, especially mechanical watches with classic balance spring and balance.
- the magnetic shielding effect of the housing depends on the shape of always necessary in practice openings in the housing, such as the passages of the controls, pointer shafts, display discs and other display strands or because of the construction of the housing of several parts, which is a hermetic Inclusion of the movement prevented.
- this also applies to 360 ° extending annular openings even smaller dimensions, as they normally occur at least at the parting line between the lower part and the upper part of the housing.
- known shielding often constructed of two or three parts, namely a factory ring, which is attached directly to the circumference of the movement, a case back, which is often held by a spring between the clock base and the watch case bottom and can form a part with the work ring , and a housing cover, which is attached to the display side of the movement and often simultaneously acts as a dial.
- a dial made of soft iron is disadvantageous for a variety of reasons, for example because this dial shapes as a flat component without any paragraph an even larger, annular opening with the work ring and therefore, as mentioned above, a relatively large magnetic interference field inside the shield to Episode has.
- the size and shape of the annular opening between the dial and the work ring are difficult to control because of unevenness of the dial due to the manufacturing tolerances or inaccurate positioning of these parts in the course of Assembly are possible. Also, the making of a dial is off
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned difficulties and to realize a magnetic field shielding enclosure which is a low cost, simple and efficient protection device while at the same time simplifying the manufacture and assembly of both the housing and the clock as a whole improves the magnetic shielding effect.
- the subject invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the upper part of the housing is mounted such that it is movable in the state attached to the movement in a plane parallel to the movement, while it is not substantially displaceable in the direction perpendicular to this plane, the means in this direction has at most a height clearance in the range of about 1/100 mm, which is necessary for the given parallel to the movement plane movement of the upper part.
- the movable in the plane parallel to the clockwise mounting of the bell-shaped upper part can advantageously be done by means of screws and washers of a special form, as is apparent from the dependent claims.
- the dial can be selected conventionally, since the bell-shaped upper part of the housing has through holes through which pass through a dial feet, by means of which the latter is attached to the movement.
- the above-mentioned difficulties of soft iron in its use for the dial are thus avoided without exception by the separation of the upper housing part and dial. This is particularly ensured by the fact that the top of said washers allows a spacing of the mounted above the bell-shaped top dial from the surface of the bell-shaped upper part.
- Figure 1 illustrates schematically in cross-section the principle of a clock whose movement is protected by means of a shielding housing according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of the movable attachment of the upper part to the movement by means of screws and washers.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the upper part attached to the movement.
- Figures 4a and 4b show a first possibility for the
- Figure 4c illustrates a perspective view of the top with the groove on the inside thereof, and Figure 4d shows an open ring spring positioned therein.
- Figures 5a and 5b show a second possibility for the positioning of the bell-shaped upper part of the movement
- Figure 5c shows a corresponding sealing ring.
- Figures 6a and 6b show a third possibility for the positioning of the bell-shaped upper part of the movement
- Figure 6c represents a corresponding spring button.
- a housing for shielding magnetic fields according to the present invention comprises at least two parts, a lower part 4, 5 and a bell-shaped upper part 3.
- the lower part 4, 5 and the bell-shaped upper part 3 are usually made of soft iron or other material with similar magnetic properties and have a shape that makes these parts to span a clockwork 1 of a clock.
- the lower part preferably consists of two separate, nested parts, a bottom 5 and an annular central part 4, but may also be in one piece.
- the annular central part 4 is mounted in the assembled state directly on the circumference of the movement 1, the bottom of the shield is normally by a spring 15 held between the clock base and the bottom of the watch case 2, both of which can be done in a conventional manner.
- the upper part 3 corresponds to a housing cover, wherein the bell shape of this part allows a positive engagement of upper part 3 and lower part 4, 5.
- the bell-shaped portion of the upper part 3 can either enclose the annular central part 4 or be inserted into this.
- the bell shape of the upper part 3 serves, inter alia, to reduce the radial opening between the upper part 3 and the annular middle part 4 in order to keep the magnetic interference field inside the housing as small as possible. Furthermore, the bell-shaped upper part 3 is assembled
- the upper part 3 has at most a height clearance of about 1/100 mm, which is necessary for its existing along the movement plane mobility.
- movable mounting of the bell-shaped upper part 3 for example by means of screws 9 and washers 10, which the shell 3 in the above plane in all directions a game of, for example, about 0, 1 mm while it is applied perpendicular thereto and therefore has almost no play in this direction.
- the bell-shaped upper part 3 cylindrical passages 3.1, through which the screws 9 and washers 10 can be attached to the movement 1.
- both the washers 10 and the passages 3.1 in the upper part 3 for this purpose have a special shape in order to meet the movable attachment of the upper part 3 on the movement 1.
- This shape consists on the one hand in that each washer 10 has in its longitudinal direction two sections 10.1, 10.2 of different diameters, which can be regarded as two superimposed wreaths of different sizes, insofar as the washer 10 in the center of a hole for receiving the screw
- each passage 3.1 in the bell-shaped upper part 3 also has two sections 3.1.1, 3.1.2 of different diameters, each of slightly larger dimensions than the corresponding section 10.1, 10.2 of the washer 10 to be positioned therein Projection 3.2 created in the lower part of the passage 3.1, on which the above-mentioned bottom 10.3 of the upper, larger portion 10.1 of the washer 10 rests. This causes the upper part 3 is not substantially movable in the direction perpendicular to the movement plane.
- a clearance is created by the slightly larger inner diameter of the passage 3.1 compared to the outer diameters of the washer 10, which enables the upper part 3 in the state mounted on the movement 1 in the horizontal direction, ie in the plane parallel to the movement 1, to stay mobile.
- the upper part 3 in the vertical direction, ie in the direction perpendicular to the above-mentioned plane, is not substantially displaceable can be achieved in that the movement 1 opposite the cylindrical passages 3.1 of the bell-shaped upper part 3 preferably has recesses 1.1 whose The height of the cutouts 1.1 is selected so that they together with the thickness of the projection 3.2 of the upper part 3 and the lower portion 3.1.2 of the cylindrical passage 3.1 of the height of the lower portion 10.2 of the washer 10 corresponds.
- the cutouts 1.1 can also be omitted by adjusting the height of the lower portion 10.2 of the washer 10.
- screws 9 and washers 10 may be replaced by any equivalent device, for example a one piece piece, such as a screw with a correspondingly shaped head, or that attachment could be by means other than bolting in the movement 1 , for example by a bayonet lock or by gluing, welding, etc.
- the inside of the bell-shaped upper part 3 further comprises an annular groove 3.4, in which a seated on the outside of the movement 1 elastic element 12, 13, 14 can engage to the bell-shaped upper part 3 on the Position movement 1.
- the elastic element may consist of an open annular spring 12.
- This annular spring 12 may be mounted in an annular groove 1.2 on the outside of the movement 1, see Figure 4a, and after the positioning of the upper part 3 on the movement 1 in the annular groove 3.4 of the upper part 3 engage. The latter is particularly visible in Figure 4c.
- the reverse constellation ie positioning of the annular spring on the upper housing part 3 and engagement of the spring in a groove 1.2 of the movement, is of course one of the possible variants, as outlined in Figure 4b.
- the elastic element can also be designed as a sealing ring 13, see Figure 5c, which is mounted in an annular groove 1.2 on the outside of the movement 1, as shown in Figure 5a.
- it can also be applied under pressure by being compressed between the movement 1 and the upper part 3 as shown in FIG.
- some spring buttons 14 are preferably mounted on the outside of the movement 1, which then, according to Figures 6a and 6b with or without additional pressure, in the
- top 10.4 of the washers 10 ensures a spacing of a mounted above the bell-shaped top 3 dial 6 from the surface of the bell-shaped upper part 3, about the order of a few hundredth! Millimeters. This is achieved by the height of the upper portion 10.1 of the washers 10 is selected slightly larger than the height of the upper portion 3.1.1 of the cylindrical passage 3.1, so that the top 10.4 of the washers 10 surmounted the surface of the bell-shaped upper part 3. Insofar as the upper part 3 is usually fixed by at least three screws 9 with associated washers 10 on the movement 1, whose surface forms a plane exactly parallel to the plane 1 support surface for the dial 6. Each contact of the dial 6 with the upper part 3 is thus avoided.
- holding tubes 11 may be attached around the assist and other display strands of the movement 1, which penetrate the bell-shaped upper part 3.
- the surface of the end of the holding tube facing the dial 6 is slightly attached below the plane formed by the tops 10.4 of the washers 10, approximately a few 1/100 mm.
- the support tubes 11 thus a support of the mounted on the bell-shaped upper part 3 dial 6 and its spacing is ensured by the surface of the bell-shaped upper part 3.
- the removal of a pointer thereby deformation of the dial 6 is excluded, such as a necessary pressing with a tool on the dial 6, since the dial underside is supported by the holding tube 11 equal to a few 1/100 mm resilient yielding.
- two such holding tubes 11a, 11b for the main and a secondary display are indicated. These tubes can be mounted, for example, each on a corresponding bridge of the movement.
- the bell-shaped upper part 3 also has small through-holes 3.3a,
- the assembly of the protective housing to the movement 1 takes place up to the positioning of the upper part 3 in a known manner.
- the upper housing part 3 by means of screws 9 and washers 10 or equivalent means attached to the movement 1.
- the dial 6 can be attached to the movement 1.
- the annular middle part 4 is then attached to the movement 1.
- the upper part 3 is positioned with the aid of the elastic Elements 12, 13, 14 and can also be moved by the game of about a few tenths of a millimeter in the horizontal direction in order to nestle as best possible to the middle part 4.
- the operating principle of the shielding housing according to the invention is to consist of two or three mounted on the movement parts, which can be moved relative to each other, the dial is functionally and structurally separated from the parts of the shielding. This has the above-mentioned advantages with regard to the production, handling and protective effect of the magnetically shielding inner housing.
- a protective housing according to the invention may find application particularly in watches which themselves contain sources of magnetic fields, such as a magnetic coupling between a rotatable outer ring and an inner ring 7 magnetically coupled to this ring, as is often the case in world time watches, diving watches or the like , The movement is effectively shielded by such a device from a relatively strong magnetic field applied thereto outside the watch case.
