Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. More specifically, it relates to a push-button control device for a waterproof watch.
  • timepieces Various functions in timepieces are controlled by push devices. Typically, the functions of starting, stopping and resetting a chronograph watch are controlled by such devices mounted on the middle part of the watch case.
  • the push-button control devices comprise a push tube intended to be fixed on the middle part of the watch, in an opening thereof.
  • a push rod associated with a pusher head is disposed inside the tube so as to slide therein axially between a rest position and an active position against the force of a return spring.
  • the pusher head comprises on its face facing the middle an annular recess defining a skirt surrounding a central cylindrical portion to which is fixed the rod.
  • the width of the recess is adapted to slidably receive the distal end of the pusher tube.
  • O-ring sealing seals sealing the tube are arranged on the side of the pusher head between the rod and the tube.
  • the tube comprises a central section on either side of which extend a distal section and a proximal section both having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the central section so as to define a distal shoulder surface and a surface of proximal shoulder.
  • the proximal section is threaded and is screwed into a bore of the middle part, a seal being interposed between the outer face of the middle and the proximal shoulder surface.
  • the center section is also threaded while the distal section is smooth.
  • the resilient membrane includes a central portion from which an annular wall extends, which is extended by a peripheral rim in the form of an annular lateral band that is taller than wide.
  • the flange is compressed between the distal shoulder surface and an inner shoulder surface of a ring screwed to the central section of the tube.
  • the central part of the membrane is free and can act on the pusher head.
  • Patent is also known CH 676 186 a watch case provided with two pushers and surrounded by a flexible rubber peripheral ring disposed between the middle and the bezel.
  • the ring covers the pushers while allowing their control because of the flexibility of the rubber.
  • the ring also protects the watch against shock and ensures a tightness of the pushers.
  • This document has the disadvantage of hiding the pushers and having to open the box to make a change when needed and therefore to use a watchmaker. Moreover, the entire ring must be changed, which makes such a replacement uneconomical.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a high-sealing pusher control device which uses conventional type pusher devices readily available on the market.
  • the invention also aims to provide such a pusher control device whose structure gives the watch a new and attractive aesthetic appearance.
  • the invention relates to a push-button control device as defined in claim 1.
  • a timepiece in this case a wristwatch designated by the general reference 1 and whose box is equipped with a plurality of pusher control devices 4, three in number in this example.
  • the box conventionally consists of a bottom 6, a middle part 8 and a window 10 closed by a window 12.
  • the box thus defines a housing for a watch movement (not shown) which comprises various mechanisms associated with functions which can be respectively actuated by the push-button control devices 4.
  • Each pusher control device 4 comprises a pusher head 14 secured to a push rod 16 which passes through a guide tube 18 mounted on the middle part 8 and projecting from this middle part.
  • the tube 18 is provided with a shoulder and is directly driven into a bore 8a of the middle part 8.
  • the tube 18 can also be screwed onto it by interposing a seal between the shoulder surface of the tube and the middle part.
  • the middle part 8 comprises a circular recess 8b which extends around the bore 8a to receive a portion of the sealing means which will be described in more detail below.
  • the pusher head 14 partially envelops the tube 18 by engaging the skirt 20 presented by the head 14 on the upper end of the tube.
  • the head 14 has a central cylindrical core which extends axially to form the push rod 16.
  • a seal 22 is disposed between the tube 18 and the rod 16 and is held by a washer 22a.
  • the device 4 is completed by a coil return spring 24 disposed between the washer 22a and the pusher head 14 to push the latter to the outside.
  • the rod 16 can thus move axially between at least one rest position and an active position against the spring 24 to control by its free end a function of the watch movement.
  • the spring 24 When pressing on the head 14, the spring 24 is compressed and the skirt 30 penetrates partially into the housing 8b which has been made in the middle part 8.
  • the pusher head 14 is held on the tube 18 by means of a screw 16a fixed at the end of the rod 16.
  • the push-button control device 4 further comprises sealing means 26 intended to seal, in particular with water, the timepiece box vis-à-vis the outside.
  • the sealing means 26 comprise a cap 28 made of flexible and impervious material which caps the pusher head 14 and which is fixed on the box of the timepiece.
  • the cap is made of rubber, however it could be made of any other flexible and waterproof material such as silicone, or other materials derived from these two materials or having similar properties.
  • the cap 28 comprises a body 28a of generally cylindrical shape and in the region of its opening a peripheral base or rim 28b which extends substantially in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder.
  • the base is extended in the axial direction of the cap by a circular lip 28c which extends substantially in alignment with the body 28a.
  • the lip 28c has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the circular recess 8b and a length along the axis of the cap substantially greater than the depth of the circular recess 8b. It goes without saying that in a variant of the invention not shown, the lip 28c may be omitted.
  • the cap is sized to completely surround and cover the pusher head 14 and the portion of the tube 18 which protrudes from the middle part.
  • the cap 28 can thus wrap the pusher head and the tube and be supported by its base 28b against the middle part 8 to seal the device 4. More precisely and as is more clearly apparent from the figure 3 , the cap 28 is applied against the middle part 8 so that the lip 28c is housed and fitted in the circular recess 8b to be held slightly compressed against the bottom of the recess.
  • the device comprises a fixing ring 30 directly attached to the middle part 8 to compress the base 28b of the cap against the middle part.
  • the fixing ring 30 comprises a cylindrical passage 30a through which the cap projects and at least one fixing lug 30b provided with a passage 30c for a fixing screw 32 directly screwed into the middle part 8.
  • the dimensions of the passage 30a are provided in such a way that there is sufficient clearance between the inner wall of the passage and the outer wall of the body of the cap so that the body can be deformed laterally when one press on the pusher head.
  • the fixing ring 30 of each device 4 comprises two diametrically opposed fastening tabs 30b, the tabs 30b being aligned along the circumferential direction of the middle part 8.
  • the ring fixation 30 is provided with an inner shoulder 30d which defines a housing for receiving the base 28b. Note in this connection that the axial depth of the housing is slightly less than the thickness of the base so that the latter can be compressed when the fastening screws 32 are tightened on the middle part 8.
