Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking and more particularly to a removable decorative and / or functional bezel of a wristwatch and a wristwatch provided with such a bezel.
  • EP1249741 describes for example a watch case which is provided with a removable decorative bezel, in which this decorative bezel is provided on the box by a plurality of bayonet type fixing means associated with locking means.
  • the latter comprise elastic means designed to exert a pressure tending to separate this bezel from said box, these means being arranged to exert a substantially uniform pressure on the entire periphery of said bezel.
  • Positioning elements between the bezel and the box are also arranged to oppose the movement of said bezel as a determined force, of direction opposite to that causing the engagement of the bayonet fixing means has not been applied to this telescope.
  • Other examples of bayonet devices adapted to a detachable bezel of a wristwatch are disclosed for example in the publications EP0621518 and EP1662342 .
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a removable wristwatch bezel comprising another type of device allowing on the one hand, a reliable attachment of the bezel to the middle of the watch case and, on the other hand, a easy handling for the change of the telescope.
  • this object is achieved by means of a removable bezel configured to be arranged on the range of a watch case in an initial angular position and then actuated in rotation until it is in an angular position. locked in which the removable bezel is locked in rotation.
  • the removable bezel has first retaining means arranged, when the removable bezel is mounted on the watch case, to cooperate with second retaining means arranged on the watch case to fix the removable bezel on the watch case in said position. angular locked.
  • Said removable bezel further comprises on its periphery at least one radially actuable pusher, or the pushers each having a locking / unlocking element of the rotation of the removable telescope. This locking / unlocking element is arranged to cooperate, when the removable bezel is mounted on the watch case, with the scope of the watch case so that a pressure on the pushbutton or unlocking the removable rotating bezel .
  • the invention also relates to a watch case configured to receive the removable bezel.
  • the watch case has two diametrically opposed grooves each extending in an arc of a circle, preferably 90 °, around the central axis of the watch case.
  • the ends of each groove have an angled portion so that each locking / unlocking element of the removable bezel can be released from the respective groove under the action of the return means of the pushers to lock the rotation of the removable bezel in one or the other dedicated locked angular positions.
  • the removable bezel 1 comprises, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 2 , a main decorative bezel 1a having on its lower side two housings 11, 11 '( Figure 3 ) which are arranged at 180 ° with respect to each other.
  • Each housing 11, 11 ' is intended to receive a pusher 4, 4' and return means in the form of two compression springs 5 which are arranged in two grooves 4a, made on the pusher ( Figures 2 and 5 ).
  • the grooves 4a are oriented so that one end of each spring 5 bears against the pusher 4 and the other end bears against the bottom of the housing.
  • the removable bezel 1 further comprises an annular base 12 ( Figure 2 ) fixed on the lower side of the main bezel 1a to encapsulate the compression springs 5 and partially the pushers 4, 4 'in their respective housing 11, 11'.
  • each pusher 4, 4 ' comprises a locking / unlocking element of the removable bezel 1 in the form of a screw 6, 6' which is mounted perpendicularly to the radial displacement of the pushers 4, 4 'when actuated.
  • These screws 6, 6 ' are arranged to cooperate with the scope 2 of a watch case 3 as illustrated by the Figure 8 so that this removable bezel 1 can be locked in rotation in a first and a second locked angular position which are preferably separated by 90 °.
  • the scope 2 of the watch case 3 intended to receive the removable bezel 1 according to the invention has two grooves 9, 9 'diametrically opposed, each extending in an arc of a circle, preferably 90 °, around the central axis of the watch case.
  • the ends of each groove 9, 9 ' have a bent portion 10 which are respectively at 12h, 3h, 6h and 9h in order to receive the screw 6, 6' of each pusher 4, 4 'of the removable bezel 1 under the action of the compression springs 5.
  • the screws 6, 6 'are then disengaged from their respective grooves 9, 9' when they reach one or the other of the two locked angular positions in order to lock in rotation the removable bezel 1.
  • the removable bezel 1 further comprises first retaining means 7, 7 'which are arranged to cooperate with second retaining means 8, 8' arranged on the watch case 3 ( Figures 2 , 6, 7 and 8 ) when the removable bezel 1 is fixed on said box 3 and is in one of its two locked angular positions so that said bezel 1 is integral with the watch case 3.
  • the first retaining means 7, 7 'of the removable bezel 1 are then released second means of retaining 8, 8 'of the watch case 3 when the removable bezel 1 is in the other of its two locked angular positions so that the removable bezel 1 can be detached from the box of watch 3.
  • the first retaining means of the removable telescope 1 are in the form of a projection 7, 7 '( Figure 3 ) which extends on the inner circumference of said removable bezel 1 on either side of each pusher 4, 4 'preferably between 20 ° and 45 °.
  • the second retaining means of the watch case 3 are in the form of two flanges 8 ', 8' diametrically opposed and each extending at least 30 ° and preferably about 45 ° along a circular side wall 13, which is arranged on the inner circumference of the scope 2 of the watch case 3.
  • the scope 2 of the watch case 3 further comprises two cylindrical housings 17 ( Figure 2 ) diametrically opposite each located between the two grooves 9, 9 'in a circular arc, and in which are fitted a sleeve 14 containing a ball 15 which is retained by a flange 14a of the sleeve 14 ( Figure 7 ) and pressed against this flange 14a by a spring 16.
  • the distribution of the balls 15 on the scope 2 of the watch case allows to exert a pressure tending to press the projections 7, 7 'of the removable bezel 1 against the flanges 8 , 8 'of the circular side wall 13 of the watch case 3.
  • the balls 15 also serve as rolling elements during the rotation of the removable bezel 1, making the introduction and removal of the glasses more pleasant.
