Description
La présente invention concerne une boîte pour pièce d'horlogerie, du type montre-bracelet, comportant notamment une carrure, destinée à loger un mouvement horloger, un fond et des premier et second organes d'attache à un bracelet.The present invention relates to a timepiece box, of the wristwatch type, including a middle part, intended to house a watch movement, a bottom and first and second fastening members to a bracelet.
Plus précisément, la présente invention concerne un tel type de boîte pour la réalisation d'une pièce d'horlogerie dans laquelle le bracelet peut être retiré de la boîte sans nécessiter l'utilisation d'outils.More specifically, the present invention relates to such a type of box for producing a timepiece in which the bracelet can be removed from the box without requiring the use of tools.
De nombreuses pièces d'horlogerie répondant aux caractéristiques ci-dessus ont déjà été divulguées dans l'art antérieur, notamment des montres-bracelets dont la boîte présente des organes d'attache de bracelet identique de chaque côté, ceux-ci comportant éventuellement au moins un poussoir pour libérer le bracelet afin de le remplacer.Numerous timepieces meeting the above characteristics have already been disclosed in the prior art, in particular wristwatches whose case has identical strap fasteners on each side, these possibly comprising at least a pusher to release the bracelet to replace it.
La demande de brevet
Par ailleurs, le brevet
De manière similaire, le modèle d'utilité
Un but principal de la présente invention est de proposer une alternative aux boîtes et pièces d'horlogerie connues de l'art antérieur, en proposant une pièce d'horlogerie qui, non seulement, peut avoir son bracelet facilement remplacé mais, en outre, peut être utilisée autrement que comme une montre-bracelet sans que cela nuise à son apparence.A main object of the present invention is to propose an alternative to the boxes and timepieces known from the prior art, by proposing a timepiece which, not only, can have its bracelet easily replaced but, in addition, can be used other than as a wristwatch without affecting its appearance.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne plus particulièrement une boîte pour pièce d'horlogerie telle que définie dans la revendication 1.For this purpose, the present invention relates more particularly to a timepiece box as defined in
Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la pièce d'horlogerie peut accompagner son porteur quelle que soit son activité ou sa tenue vestimentaire.Thanks to these characteristics, the timepiece can accompany its wearer whatever his activity or dress.
Selon l'invention, le second organe d'attache comprend au moins un évidement ménagé dans la carrure, à sa périphérie et à proximité du fond, de telle manière qu'une extrémité de bracelet peut y être insérée, dans la position ouverte du fond, et verrouillée par le fond, dans la position fermée de ce dernier. Dans ce cas, le fond peut avantageusement être monté sur la carrure au moyen d'une charnière, l'évidement étant adjacent à la charnière. On peut également prévoir qu'une portion de verrouillage solidaire du fond est disposée dans l'évidement, dans la position fermée du fond, de manière à pouvoir coopérer avec l'extrémité de bracelet.According to the invention, the second attachment member comprises at least one recess formed in the middle, at its periphery and near the bottom, so that a bracelet end can be inserted into the open position of the bottom , and locked by the bottom, in the closed position of the latter. In this case, the bottom can advantageously be mounted on the middle part by means of a hinge, the recess being adjacent to the hinge. It can also be provided that a locking portion secured to the bottom is disposed in the recess, in the closed position of the bottom, so as to cooperate with the strap end.
Par ailleurs, il peut être prévu que la boîte comporte un dispositif de verrouillage du fond agencée pour le verrouiller dans au moins une position angulaire ouverte préférentielle en référence à la carrure. Un tel dispositif de verrouillage peut comporter au moins un organe de verrouillage mâle et au moins un organe de verrouillage femelle, agencés pour coopérer l'un avec l'autre dans la position angulaire préférentielle, l'un étant solidaire de la carrure et l'autre étant solidaire du fond.Furthermore, it can be provided that the box comprises a bottom locking device arranged to lock in at least one preferred open angular position with reference to the middle part. Such a locking device may comprise at least one male locking member and at least one female locking member, arranged to cooperate with each other in the preferred angular position, one being integral with the middle part and the other being in solidarity with the bottom.
La boîte peut également comporter un organe de verrouillage supplémentaire agencé pour garantir la stabilité de la position fermée du fond contre la carrure.The box may also include an additional locking member arranged to ensure the stability of the closed position of the bottom against the middle part.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la présente invention concerne également une pièce d'horlogerie comportant une boîte répondant aux caractéristiques qui précèdent ainsi qu'un ensemble comportant une telle pièce d'horlogerie, et un bracelet présentant des première et seconde extrémités adaptées pour coopérer respectivement avec les premier et second organes d'attache de la boîte, la seconde extrémité du bracelet comportant au moins un téton adapté pour être inséré à l'intérieur de l'évidement de la carrure. En outre, l'ensemble comporte avantageusement une chaîne dont une extrémité est agencée pour coopérer avec le premier organe d'attache de la pièce d'horlogerie.According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention also relates to a timepiece comprising a box meeting the above characteristics as well as a set including such a timepiece, and a bracelet having first and second ends adapted to cooperate respectively with the first and second attachment members of the box, the second end of the bracelet having at least one pin adapted to be inserted within the recess of the middle part. In addition, the assembly advantageously comprises a chain whose end is arranged to cooperate with the first fastener of the timepiece.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation préféré qui suit, faite en référence aux dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et dans lesquels:Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear more clearly on reading the detailed description of a preferred embodiment which follows, made with reference to the accompanying drawings given by way of non-limiting examples and in which:

A cet effet, la pièce d'horlogerie 1 comporte une boîte 2 comprenant une carrure 3, un fond 4 et une glace 5.For this purpose, the
Le fond 4 est monté pivotant sur la carrure 3 pour, d'une part, permettre l'utilisation de la pièce d'horlogerie comme montre de table en formant un support et, d'autre part, assurer le verrouillage de l'extrémité 6 d'un brin de bracelet, comme cela exposé plus loin plus en détail.The
A titre illustratif non limitatif, l'extrémité 6 du brin de bracelet a été représentée à six heures sur la
A l'opposé de la charnière, c'est-à-dire dans la position midi, la carrure 3 porte une bélière 9 destinée à permettre la fixation d'un second brin de bracelet (non représenté) ou, alternativement, d'une chaîne, dont seule l'extrémité 10 est visible sur les figures et qui permet l'utilisation de la pièce d'horlogerie 1 comme montre de poche.Opposite the hinge, that is to say in the midday position, the
La bélière 9 est montée coaxiale par rapport à une couronne de mise à l'heure 12 conventionnelle.The
Il ressort également de la
En outre, de manière avantageuse, il est possible de prévoir qu'un doigt (non représenté), disposé en butée contre un ressort précontraint dans la carrure, est agencé pour exercer une pression sur une surface de réception 15 du fond 4 pour le dégager de la carrure 3 lorsque le poussoir 14 est actionné et faciliter ainsi la préhension du fond par l'utilisateur.Furthermore, advantageously, it is possible to provide that a finger (not shown), placed in abutment against a prestressed spring in the caseband, is arranged to exert pressure on a receiving
La
La bélière 9 comporte deux logements 20 destinés à recevoir l'extrémité 10 de la chaîne ou, alternativement, l'extrémité d'un brin de bracelet conformé de manière similaire en référence à l'extrémité 10.The
L'extrémité 10 comporte deux cornes 22 insérées dans les logements 20 et dont chacune comprend un cliquet à pivot 23.The
Chaque côté de la bélière 9 porte une douille 24 dont un premier trou 25 débouche en regard du logement 20 correspondant. Lorsque l'extrémité 10 est insérée dans les logements 20, les pivots sont repoussés l'un vers l'autre, dans un premier temps, par leur coopération avec des plans inclinés 26 ménagés dans la bélière 9. Lorsque les pivots parviennent en regard des premiers trous 25 des douilles, ils s'écartent l'un de l'autre, sous l'effet des actions de leurs ressorts 28 respectifs, pour entrer dans les douilles et verrouiller ainsi l'extrémité 10 dans la bélière 9.Each side of the
Les douilles 24 portent par ailleurs chacune un poussoir 29 disposé en saillie par rapport à la sortie de son second trou 30. Chaque poussoir comprend une tête 32, munie ici d'un cabochon à titre illustratif non limitatif, portant une tige 33 s'étendant à l'intérieur de la douille correspondante.The
Trois ressorts 35 sont disposés entre la tête 32 de chaque poussoir et une surface d'appui 36 de la douille correspondante, de manière à exercer sur le poussoir une force tendant à le repousser hors de la douille. Avantageusement, la surface d'appui 36 présente des noyures 37 adaptées pour assurer un bon maintien radial des extrémités de ressort correspondantes.Three
Une rondelle 38 de retenue est solidaire de la tige 33 du côté de la surface d'appui 36 opposé à celui où sont situés les ressorts 35, pour assurer la retenue du poussoir 29 dans la douille correspondante.A
Chaque tige 33 présente une longueur telle que son extrémité 40 est située à proximité du pivot 23 auquel elle est associée lorsque le poussoir est au repos, c'est-à-dire lorsqu'il est dans sa position la plus éloignée en référence à la douille correspondante.Each
De ce fait, lorsque les poussoirs 29 sont actionnés par un utilisateur, à l'encontre de la force des ressorts 35, ils se déplacent l'un en direction de l'autre et leurs tiges 33 entrent au contact des pivots 23 et les repoussent également l'un vers l'autre, s'opposant aux forces des ressorts 28 des cliquets à pivot. De manière préférée, la course des poussoirs correspond sensiblement à la longueur de la portion de pivot disposée en saillie du cliquet correspondant lorsque ce dernier est au repos.Therefore, when the
Ainsi, une pression simultanée de l'utilisateur sur les poussoirs 29 permet de libérer l'extrémité 10 pour faire passer la pièce d'horlogerie d'une montre-bracelet à une montre de poche, et inversement, ou d'une montre-bracelet ou montre de poche à une montre de table.Thus, a simultaneous pressure of the user on the
Avantageusement, un ressort lame 42 est disposé à l'extrémité de la bélière 9 pour agir sur l'extrémité 10 et la repousser avec symétrie lorsque les poussoirs 29 sont actionnés.Advantageously, a

Il ressort de ces figures que la carrure 3 présente un évidement 44 adjacent à la charnière 8 et destiné à recevoir l'extrémité 6 d'un brin de bracelet, plus précisément un téton 45 solidaire de l'extrémité 6.It emerges from these figures that the
Le téton 45 présente la forme générale d'un cylindre dans la périphérie duquel une gorge annulaire 46 est ménagée.The
Le téton 45 peut être engagé dans l'évidement lorsque le fond 4 est dans une position ouverte (
Un organe de verrouillage 47 est monté sur le fond, ici par l'intermédiaire de vis 48, et présente une portion de verrouillage 49 de forme sensiblement complémentaire de celle de la gorge annulaire 46.A
Ainsi, lorsque le fond est rabattu contre la carrure dans sa position fermée (
On notera que dans le mode de réalisation préféré, tel qu'illustré, un fond supplémentaire fixe 50 est prévu pour protéger l'intérieur de la boîte 2 lorsque le fond 4 est ouvert. Une garniture d'étanchéité disposée entre le fond fixe et la carrure permet notamment de garantir l'étanchéité de l'assemblage correspondant. On notera également que la charnière 8 peut être montée indifféremment sur la carrure 3 ou sur le fond fixe 50.Note that in the preferred embodiment, as illustrated, a fixed
La
On constate que l'organe de verrouillage 47 comprend en fait deux portions de verrouillage 49 destinées à coopérer avec deux tétons 45 d'une extrémité de bracelet, afin d'améliorer la stabilité de la fixation du bracelet à la boîte.It is found that the locking
Par ailleurs, il ressort de la
Ce dispositif de verrouillage comporte au moins un organe de verrouillage mâle et au moins un organe de verrouillage femelle, agencés pour coopérer l'un avec l'autre dans la position angulaire préférentielle, l'un étant solidaire de la carrure et l'autre étant solidaire du fond.This locking device comprises at least one male locking member and at least one female locking member, arranged to cooperate with each other in the preferred angular position, one being integral with the middle part and the other being solidary from the bottom.
Plus précisément, l'organe de verrouillage 47, qui est solidaire du fond, porte deux cliquets à bille 54 disposés en regard l'un de l'autre et constituant des organes de verrouillage mâle. Par ailleurs, la carrure porte un élément de positionnement 56 présentant deux trous 57 destinés à coopérer avec les cliquets à bille 54 pour constituer des organes femelle du dispositif de verrouillage supplémentaire.More specifically, the locking
Ainsi, on a représenté sur la
Bien entendu, il est possible de prévoir une faible friction entre les deux parties de la charnière 8, en alternative ou en complément, pour assurer la stabilité de toute position ouverte du fond par rapport à la carrure. Toutefois, la mise en oeuvre d'un dispositif de verrouillage tel que décrit ci-dessus, tout en limitant autant que possible la friction entre les deux parties de la charnière, permet d'augmenter le niveau de la qualité perçue de la pièce d'horlogerie correspondante.Of course, it is possible to provide low friction between the two parts of the
La description qui précède s'attache à décrire un mode de réalisation particulier à titre d'illustration non limitative et, l'invention n'est pas limitée à la mise en oeuvre de certaines caractéristiques particulières qui viennent d'être décrites, comme par exemple les formes spécifiquement illustrées et décrites pour la boîte 2, la bélière 9, les dispositifs de verrouillage du fond, ou encore les extrémités 6 de bracelet et 10 de chaîne.The foregoing description attempts to describe a particular embodiment by way of non-limiting illustration and the invention is not limited to the implementation of certain particular features which have just been described, for example the forms specifically illustrated and described for the
En effet, l'homme du métier ne rencontrera pas de difficulté particulière pour adapter le contenu de la présente divulgation à ses propres besoins et mettre en oeuvre une pièce d'horlogerie dont la construction reprend les caractéristiques de l'invention sans nécessairement mettre en oeuvre, par exemple, deux tétons 45 pour assurer la retenue du bracelet dans la boîte ou encore deux cliquets à bille pour définir une position ouverte préférentielle du fond par rapport à la carrure. Bien entendu, il est possible de mettre en oeuvre un seul cliquet à bille ou tout autre dispositif équivalent permettant de définir un cran, pour définir une position préférentielle, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention. De manière similaire, le mode de réalisation illustré à titre indicatif prévoit que trois ressorts sont logés dans chacun des poussoirs, mais il est évident que l'homme du métier pourra adapter le nombre de ces ressorts en fonction de ses propres besoins, notamment en termes de force de pression nécessaire et de dimensions des poussoirs, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.Indeed, the skilled person will not encounter any particular difficulty to adapt the content of the present disclosure to his own needs and implement a timepiece whose construction incorporates the characteristics of the invention without necessarily implementing , For example, two
On rappellera que, de manière avantageuse, le passage de toute configuration de la pièce d'horlogerie selon la présente invention à une autre configuration peut être effectué très simplement et sans nécessiter l'utilisation d'un outil.It will be recalled that, advantageously, the passage of any configuration of the timepiece according to the present invention to another configuration can be performed very simply and without the use of a tool.
