Definitions
- the present invention relates to a watch case and in particular a watch case which while having a conventional appearance can be customized at the request of the buyer.
- the object of the present invention is the production of a watch case of conventional appearance with the aid of several assembled parts, each of which can be chosen by the customer from among a plurality of possible pieces, of different material, color, finish, .
- Such watch boxes are known for example documents FR-2754434 , CH 681412 , CH 652885 or US 4,757,485 .
- the watch cases described in these documents do not have a conventional shape that can make them believe that they are monoblock, they have difficulties of assembly and assembly and do not always have a high quality finish and sufficient strength.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-component watch case having the appearance of a conventional one-piece box, solid, easy to assemble. Another goal is to achieve a multi-component watch case that ensures a perfect and independent sealing of the interchangeable elementary parts of the watch case.
- the watch case according to the invention illustrated at figure 1 has a monolithic appearance, robust, traditional and classic although its build is composed of several pieces, seven in this embodiment, interchangeable as will be seen later.
- This particularity of the middle part makes each individual piece thereof can be manufactured in different materials, have different colors, different decorations or different surface treatments.
- the buyer of such a watch case can individualize it by choosing each of the seven interchangeable pieces from a sampling of each of these pieces. Once assembled with the pieces chosen by the client, the case size, and therefore the watch case, is personalized.
- the watch case according to the invention is composed in this particular example of a bottom 1 comprising a bottom ice 2 fixed to the bottom 1 by means of a bottom ice seal 3.
- the bottom 1 comprises a skirt inner 4 provided with a thread and is intended to be screwed on the lower part also threaded with a circle 5, an O-ring bottom gasket 6 being interposed between these two elements.
- This watch case also includes a bezel 7 provided with an ice-cream 8 attached to the bezel 7 by means of a ring 9 of ice-glasses.
- the bezel 7 has an internal thread 10 for fixing the latter provided with its lens 8 on the upper part of the circle 5 which is threaded on its upper periphery.
- An eye O-ring seal 11 is interposed between the bezel 7 and the circle 5.
- the circle 5 is intended to receive a watch movement and a dial fixed in this circle in a traditional manner.
- the watch case thus realized by the bezel 7 and its mirror 8, the circle 5 and the bottom 1.2 constitute a sealed container protecting the movement.
- the illustrated watch case also comprises a caseband arranged around the circle 5 and clamped between the bottom 1 and the bezel 7.
- This case consists of seven independent parts assembled to each other to form a rigid and robust assembly.
- the middle part consists of a plate 12, two horn holder parts 13, 13a, two end pieces 14, 14a, a lateral stretcher 9H 15 and a lateral stretcher 3H 16 having a passage 17 for the stem of winding of a winding crown 18.
- the middle part may comprise more or less seven parts.
- the tip 14 and the stretcher 16 can be made to form one piece, and the tip 14a and the stretcher 15 can be made to form one piece, resulting in a middle part of five pieces.
- the end pieces 14, 14a and / or the shafts 15, 16 may each be formed of two different pieces, resulting in a middle part of more than seven pieces.
- the assembly of the caseband is as follows:
- the end pieces 14, 14a are arranged between the horns of the corresponding horn-carrying parts 13, 13a and screwed to them with the aid of screws 19, 19a.
- Each piece holder-come 13,13a provided with its tip 14,14a is then screwed on the plate 12 with screws 20,20a.
- These horn holder parts 13, 13a are diametrically opposed and centered on a 6H-12H axis of the watch case.
- the lateral shafts 15,16 are placed on the plate 12 and against the sides of the horn holder parts 13,13a and then screwed on the plate 12 with screws 21, 21a.
- the custom-made middle thus assembled is rigid, robust and seems to be monolithic, although each of its pieces could be chosen among a set of variants made available to the customer, this middle part once assembled is arranged around the circle 5 then the bottom 1 and the bezel 7 are screwed on the lower and upper ends of the circle 5 and the middle part is immobilized and fixed , sandwiched between the bottom 1 and the telescope 7.
- flanges 22 fixed on the middle part by some of the screws 20, 2a, 21, 21a and being housed in recesses 23 that includes the side wall of circle 5.
- the bottom 1 bears against the lower face of the plate 12 of the caseband and the bezel 7 is supported by a peripheral rim 24 against the end pieces 14, 14a and against the lateral stretchers 15, 16.
- the lateral end pieces 15, 16 have on their upper surface a groove 25 in which the peripheral flange 24 of the bezel 7 is housed.
- the end pieces 14, 14 a could also include grooves in their grooves. upper faces in which the peripheral rim 24 of the telescope would be placed. In this way, the upper parts of the end pieces 14, 14a and the side stretchers 15, 16 are held by the rim 24 of the bezel 7 further reinforcing the robustness of the whole middle part and therefore of the box.
- the middle part does not participate in the sealing of the watch case so that its realization by assembling several interchangeable parts does not have any disadvantage for the timepiece thus produced.
- the bottom 1 and the bezel 7 could be fixed by screws on the circle 5 to form the sealed container for receiving the movement. This is particularly advantageous for watch cases of non-circular shape, square or rectangular, for example.
