Description

La présente invention concerne un présentoir pour montre. La présente invention concerne tout particulièrement un présentoir pour montre à remontage automatique.The present invention relates to a display for a watch. The present invention particularly relates to a display for self-winding watch.

Le plus souvent, les montres sont exposées de manière statique dans les vitrines des revendeurs et sont orientées de telle manière que leur cadran soit visible au regard du client potentiel. Ceci est pénalisant dans le cas où la montre comprend un fond transparent qui laisse voir tout ou partie de son mouvement, en particulier dans le cas où la montre est à remontage automatique au moyen d'une masse oscillante. En effet, le fond étant situé à l'arrière de la montre, il reste invisible au regard du passant.In most cases, watches are statically exposed in retailers' windows and are oriented in such a way that their dial is visible to the potential customer. This is disadvantageous in the case where the watch comprises a transparent bottom that shows all or part of its movement, especially in the case where the watch is self-winding by means of an oscillating mass. Indeed, the bottom being located at the back of the watch, it remains invisible to the passerby.

Une solution à ce problème consiste à exposer deux montres identiques côte à côte, l'une orientée côté cadran et l'autre orientée côté fond. Une telle solution nécessite cependant de pouvoir disposer de suffisamment d'espace dans la vitrine et peut difficilement être appliquée pour chaque modèle de montre exposé.One solution to this problem is to expose two identical watches side by side, one facing the dial side and the other facing the bottom. Such a solution, however, requires to have enough space in the showcase and can hardly be applied for each model of exposed shows.

Une autre solution consiste à utiliser un jeu de miroirs pour révéler au passant la face arrière de la montre. Cela nécessite cependant de devoir disposer la montre de manière très précise par rapport aux miroirs, ce qui est long et fastidieux. D'autre part, suivant la position du client potentiel par rapport à la montre et la direction de son regard, il peut se produire des phénomènes de déformation optique. Dans certains cas, l'acheteur potentiel peut même ne rien voir de l'image réfléchie par les miroirs.Another solution is to use a set of mirrors to reveal to the passerby the back of the watch. However, this requires having to have the watch very precisely compared to the mirrors, which is long and tedious. On the other hand, depending on the position of the potential customer with respect to the watch and the direction of his gaze, there may be phenomena of optical deformation. In some cases, the potential buyer may even see nothing of the image reflected by the mirrors.

Enfin, un présentoir pour montre selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est décrit dans US 2009/0032478 A .Finally, a display rack according to the preamble of claim 1 is described in US 2009/0032478 A .

La présente invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients susmentionnés en procurant un présentoir pour montre qui permet à l'acheteur potentiel de voir la face avant côté cadran de même que la face arrière côté fond de la montre exposée, ceci de manière dynamique et sans problème de vison.The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a display for a watch that allows the potential buyer to see the front face dial side as well as the face back side exposed watch bottom, this dynamically and without any problem of mink.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un présentoir pour montre comprenant un élément support de la montre, cet élément support étant agencé pour tourner selon deux axes perpendiculaires qui s'étendent respectivement horizontalement et verticalement et dans lequel l'élément support de la montre est centré sur le point d'intersection des deux axes de rotation et dans lequel l'élément support de la montre est un anneau monté pivotant autour de l'axe horizontal entre deux montants fixés perpendiculairement sur un plateau tournant autour de l'axe vertical arrangé dans un socle.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a display rack comprising a support element of the watch, this support element being arranged to rotate along two perpendicular axes which respectively extend horizontally and vertically and in which the support element of the watch is centered on the point of intersection of the two axes of rotation and wherein the support element of the watch is a ring pivotally mounted about the horizontal axis between two amounts fixed perpendicularly to a turntable about the vertical axis arranged in a pedestal.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la présente invention procure un présentoir de montre permettant de présenter la montre de manière dynamique et attrayante. De plus, le présentoir selon l'invention permet de présenter alternativement la montre du côté de son cadran et du côté de son fond, ce qui permet à l'acheteur potentiel de bien apprécier les différentes caractéristiques techniques et esthétiques de la montre exposée. Par ailleurs, comme la montre est animée de mouvements permanents, cela permet, dans le cas d'une montre à remontage automatique, d'assurer le remontage du ressort de barillet grâce à la masse oscillante. Une montre à remontage automatique présentée au public au moyen du présentoir selon l'invention reste donc toujours à l'heure.Thanks to these features, the present invention provides a watch display to present the watch dynamically and attractively. In addition, the display according to the invention allows to alternately present the watch on the side of its dial and the side of its bottom, which allows the potential buyer to appreciate the various technical and aesthetic characteristics of the exposed watch. Moreover, as the watch is animated by permanent movements, it allows, in the case of a self-winding watch, to ensure the winding of the mainspring with the oscillating mass. A self-winding watch presented to the public by means of the display according to the invention therefore remains always on time.

Selon une première variante de réalisation de l'invention, l'anneau et le plateau sont entraînés en rotation par un moteur unique logé dans le socle du présentoir.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the ring and the plate are rotated by a single motor housed in the base of the display.

Selon une seconde variante de réalisation de l'invention, le plateau tournant est entraîné en rotation par un premier moteur logé dans le socle du présentoir, et l'anneau support de la montre est entraîné par un second moteur monté sur le plateau tournant.According to a second variant embodiment of the invention, the turntable is rotated by a first motor housed in the base of the display, and the support ring of the watch is driven by a second motor mounted on the turntable.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le ou les moteurs sont alimentés via le réseau électrique ou au moyen d'une batterie chargée par des cellules solaires.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the motor or motors are powered via the electrical network or by means of a battery charged by solar cells.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description détaillée qui suit d'un mode de réalisation du présentoir pour montre selon l'invention, cet exemple étant donné à titre purement illustratif et non limitatif seulement en liaison avec le dessin annexé sur lequel:

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du présentoir de montre selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe illustrant le système d'entraînement par courroie et poulies qui assure la rotation de l'anneau support de la montre autour de l'axe horizontal;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de dessus du socle du présentoir montrant les moyens d'entraînement en rotation du plateau, et
  • la figure 4 est une représentation schématique du moteur unique logé dans le socle du présentoir et entraînant simultanément en rotation l'anneau support de la montre et le plateau.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the detailed description which follows of an embodiment of the display rack according to the invention, this example being given purely by way of illustration and not limitation only in connection with the attached drawing in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of the watch display according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 is a sectional view illustrating the belt and pulley drive system which rotates the watch ring around the horizontal axis;
  • the figure 3 is a top view of the stand of the display showing the drive means in rotation of the plate, and
  • the figure 4 is a schematic representation of the single motor housed in the stand of the display and simultaneously driving in rotation the support ring of the watch and the plate.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective du présentoir selon l'invention. Désigné dans son ensemble par la référence numérique générale 1, le présentoir comprend un élément support de la montre 2. Cet élément support 2 se présente sous la forme d'un anneau 4 monté pivotant entre deux montants 6 solidaires d'un plateau tournant 8 arrangé dans un socle 10 du présentoir 1.The figure 1 is a perspective view of the display according to the invention. Designated as a whole by the general reference numeral 1, the display includes a support element of the watch 2. This support element 2 is in the form of a ring 4 pivotally mounted between two uprights 6 integral with a rotating plate 8 arranged in a base 10 of the display unit 1.

L'anneau 4 est monté entre les deux montants 6 au moyen de deux bouts d'axe 12 qui font saillie dans deux ouvertures diamétralement opposées ménagées dans l'anneau 4. Ces deux bouts d'axe 12 définissent un axe horizontal X-X de rotation de l'anneau 4. L'anneau 4 comprend également deux lames 14 pour la fixation de la montre.The ring 4 is mounted between the two uprights 6 by means of two ends of axis 12 which protrude into two diametrically opposite openings in the ring 4. These two ends of axis 12 define a horizontal axis XX of rotation of the ring 4. The ring 4 also comprises two blades 14 for fixing the watch.

Les montants 6 se dressent verticalement à la surface du plateau tournant 8 et sont disposés de manière diamétralement opposée sur ce plateau 8 qui a la forme d'un disque s'étendant horizontalement. Ce plateau tournant 8 définit un axe vertical Y-Y de rotation de l'anneau 4.The uprights 6 rise vertically on the surface of the turntable 8 and are arranged diametrically opposite on the plate 8 which has the shape of a disc extending horizontally. This turntable 8 defines a vertical axis Y-Y of rotation of the ring 4.

On comprendra que, par construction, le point d'intersection des deux axes de rotation horizontal X-X et vertical Y-Y se confond avec le centre géométrique de l'anneau 4.It will be understood that, by construction, the point of intersection of the two axes of horizontal rotation X-X and vertical Y-Y merges with the geometric center of the ring 4.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe illustrant le système d'entraînement qui assure la rotation de l'anneau 4 support de la montre autour de l'axe horizontal X-X. Ce système d'entraînement comprend un premier moteur 16 embarqué sur le plateau tournant 8 et qui tourne avec ce plateau 8. Ce premier moteur 16 est logé dans l'épaisseur du plateau tournant 8 de façon à ne pas être visible au regard. II entraîne soit directement, soit via un train d'engrenages une courroie 18 qui est logée à l'intérieur de l'un des montants 6. Cette courroie 18 est passée sur le bout d'axe 12 correspondant à l'extrémité supérieure du montant 6 et sur une poulie 20 solidaire de l'axe du moteur 16 disposé à la base du montant 6.The figure 2 is a sectional view illustrating the drive system which rotates the ring 4 support of the watch around the horizontal axis XX. This drive system comprises a first motor 16 embedded on the turntable 8 and which rotates with this plate 8. This first motor 16 is housed in the thickness of the turntable 8 so as not to be visible to the eye. It drives either directly or via a gear train a belt 18 which is housed inside one of the uprights 6. This belt 18 is passed on the end of axis 12 corresponding to the upper end of the upright. 6 and a pulley 20 secured to the axis of the motor 16 disposed at the base of the upright 6.

La figure 3 est une vue de dessus du socle 10 du présentoir 1 montrant les moyens d'entraînement en rotation du plateau tournant 8. Ces moyens d'entraînement comprennent un second moteur 22 logé dans le volume du socle 10. Ce second moteur 22 entraîne une roue dentée 24 qui elle-même engrène avec une denture périphérique 26 ménagée sur toute la circonférence du plateau tournant 8.The figure 3 is a top view of the base 10 of the display unit 1 showing the rotating drive means of the turntable 8. These drive means comprise a second motor 22 housed in the volume of the base 10. This second motor 22 drives a gear wheel 24 which itself meshes with a peripheral toothing 26 formed on the entire circumference of the turntable 8.

Les premier et second moteurs 16 et 22 sont alimentés soit via le courant du réseau électrique soit au moyen de cellules solaires disposées à la surface du plateau tournant 8 et qui alimentent respectivement des batteries reliées aux moteurs 16 et 22. Dans le cas où les moteurs 16, 22 sont alimentés via le réseau de distribution d'électricité, le présentoir 1 est muni d'un interrupteur électrique 28 et d'une prise de courant 30.The first and second motors 16 and 22 are powered either via the power grid or by means of solar cells arranged on the surface of the turntable 8 and which respectively supply batteries connected to the motors 16 and 22. In the case where the motors 16, 22 are supplied via the electricity distribution network, the display unit 1 is provided with an electric switch 28 and a plug 30.

Selon une variante, on peut envisager que l'entraînement de l'anneau 4 support de la montre selon ses deux axes de rotation X-X et Y-Y soit assuré par un moteur unique 32. La figure 4 est une représentation schématique d'un tel mode de réalisation dans lequel le moteur unique 32 est logé dans le socle 10 du présentoir 1 et entraîne simultanément en rotation l'anneau 4 support de la montre et le plateau tournant 8. A cet effet, le moteur unique 32 entraîne une roue dentée 34 qui elle-même engrène avec une denture périphérique 36 qui s'étend tout le long du périmètre du plateau tournant 8. Le plateau tournant 8 porte un axe rotatif 38 sur lequel est montée fixe une roue dentée 40. Lorsque le plateau 8 tourne, la roue dentée 40 roule sur une denture périphérique fixe 42 ménagée le long de la périphérie intérieure du socle 10. En tournant, la roue dentée 40 entraîne un premier pignon conique 44 solidaire de l'axe rotatif 38. Ce premier pignon conique 44 entraîne à son tour un second pignon conique 46 monté sur un axe commun 48 avec une poulie 50 sur laquelle est passée une courroie 52. La courroie 52 est passée sur une seconde poulie 54 montée sur le bout d'axe 12 qui porte l'anneau support 4.According to a variant, it can be envisaged that the drive of the ring 4 supporting the watch along its two axes of rotation XX and YY is provided by a single motor 32. figure 4 is a schematic representation of such an embodiment in which the single motor 32 is housed in the base 10 of the display 1 and simultaneously rotates the ring 4 support of the watch and the turntable 8. For this purpose, the single motor 32 drives a toothed wheel 34 which itself meshes with a peripheral toothing 36 which extends all along the perimeter of the turntable 8. The turntable 8 carries a rotary shaft 38 on which is fixedly mounted a toothed wheel 40 When the plate 8 rotates, the toothed wheel 40 rolls on a stationary peripheral toothing 42 formed along the inner periphery of the base 10. By turning, the toothed wheel 40 drives a first conical pinion 44 integral with the rotary shaft 38. This first bevel gear 44 in turn drives a second bevel gear 46 mounted on a common axis 48 with a pulley 50 on which is passed a belt 52. The belt 52 is passed over a second pulley 54 mounted on the end of axis 12 which carries the support ring 4.
