Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watch case having a ring having a front face provided with a distinctive sign, this ring having the particularity of always returning to its original orientation after unscrewing and then screwing.
  • the invention also relates to a method of mounting such a watch case.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, in particular a wristwatch, comprising such a box.
  • the invention also relates to a box obtained by implementing the mounting method.
  • the outer face of the outer part of the crown has a distinctive sign, to be able to guarantee that the distinctive sign is in a given angular orientation relative to the longitudinal axis of the tube. of the watch case to which the crown is screwed. Otherwise, the angular position of the distinctive sign is random.
  • the first tube is connected to the ring and is screwed to the second tube, the third tube is arranged to receive the second tube, the second tube and the third tube comprise indexing means.
  • the third tube has an internal toothing provided on the inner periphery and arranged to cooperate with a ring gear of the second tube.
  • the second tube and the third tube are held locked in translation by a ring and form a subassembly having an adjustable thread on which the crown associated with the first tube is screwed.
  • the angular orientation is fixed once and for all and is directly related to the number of teeth present on the second tube and the third tube, and the number of indexing positions is necessarily limited because of the small diameters of these tubes.
  • this solution requires three tubes and is difficult to set up.
  • the crown and the tubes may be detached from the watch case if too much torque is applied to the crown.
  • This international application relates to a watch case comprising a control ring consisting of two parts, namely, an inner portion and an outer portion, the latter to be maintained in the inner portion by a clamping ring.
  • the main purpose of the invention is to provide a watch case that is at least as satisfactory as that described in the aforementioned international application, while having an even smaller number of components.
  • means are provided so that the initial angular indexing of the crown can be modified only by an operator having a specific tool.
  • a watch case is defined by claim 1.
  • a mounting method is defined by claim 13.
  • a timepiece is defined by claim 15.
  • a first embodiment of the invention is shown in the Figures 1 to 6 .
  • the watch case according to the invention comprises a caseband 3 on which is mounted in a through hole pierced in the middle band, a first tube 1.
  • the rotation of the latter is prevented by its toothing 1a which is clearly visible on the figure 2 , located on a part of its periphery and whose teeth which are distributed circumferentially and each extend axially, are engaged axially between the teeth of a toothing 3a which is clearly visible on the figure 3 and which is made by broaching in the hole of the middle part 3, the outer side thereof.
  • the axial blocking of the first tube 1 relative to the middle part 3 is achieved by virtue of an internal shoulder forming a first bearing surface 1c on which a second bearing surface 2c is pressed, formed by an external shoulder complementary to a second tube. 2. It is screwed fully into the middle part 3 so as to press both the inner axial end of the first tube 1 against an annular seal 7 and an abutment surface 1d ( figure 4 ) against a stop surface 3d provided in the hole of the middle part 3.
  • the axial locking of the first tube 1 relative to the middle part 3 is thus ensured by the cooperation, in particular the cooperation by obstacle, of a stop surface 1d and a stop surface 3d, in particular provided on the caseband 3.
  • the axial blocking of the first tube in the other direction is ensured by the cooperation, in particular the cooperation by obstacle or contact, the first bearing surface 1c with the second support surface 2c.
  • the screwing of the second tube 2 is preferably carried out using a special tool which is shaped to engage with a visible second toothing on the figure 5 and provided at the outer axial end of the second tube 2.
  • the first tube further comprises, over a portion of its periphery, a thread 1b cooperating with a tapping 4b formed in an annular recess provided in the cape 4 of a control ring C.
  • a distinctive sign S such as a mark or a logo.
  • control ring C inside the control ring C comprises, in the center of the aforementioned annular recess, a barrel 5 which is connected to the movement of the watch by known means and which is housed and guided axially, sliding inside. the second tube 2 (cf. figure 1 ).
  • control crown C will keep its orientation, in that later, after each of unscrewing and screwing, the sign S will be correctly oriented.
  • a toothing 2e is provided on the inner or outer end of the second tube 2, only a qualified watchmaker equipped with a suitable tool can unscrew the second tube 2.
  • annular seal 10 is disposed in an annular groove formed at the outer periphery of the first tube 1 on which is formed the thread 1b.
  • the toothing 3a ' performed here by machining, comprises a number of teeth (three in this case) lower than that of the toothing 3a visible in particular on the figure 3 .
  • a toothing 3a has been executed on a ring 6 which has been secured by driving (or any other means appropriate) in the hole of the middle part 3, the latter then having a recess of a diameter greater than that of the first embodiment of the invention.
  • abutment surface 3d has also been formed in the ring 6.
  • the axial locking of the first tube 1 relative to the middle part 3 is therefore ensured by the cooperation, in particular the cooperation by obstacle, of a stop surface 1d and a stop surface 3d ', in particular provided on the ring 6.
  • the axial locking of the first tube in the other direction is provided by the cooperation, including cooperation by obstacle or contact, the first bearing surface 1c with the second support surface 2c.
  • the second tube 2 can be fixed differently, for example by driving.
  • the geometry of the tube 2 is shaped to allow its disassembly of the middle part, for example with the addition of a groove.
  • the first and second indexing means (1a, 3a, 3a ', 3a ") shown in the aforementioned embodiments are not embodied by the bias of teeth which are distributed circumferentially and each extend axially on their respective member. It is also quite conceivable to achieve the same effects through circumferentially distributed and circumferentially extending edge teeth on their respective members.
  • annular seals in the exemplary embodiments is optimized to ensure the sealing of the watch case.
  • Those skilled in the art will be able to adapt the arrangement and / or the number of these joints according to the requirements and the design choices.
  • An embodiment of a timepiece according to the invention may advantageously comprise a watch case according to one of the embodiments and variants described above.
  • distinctive sign means any visible element of the crown to distinguish an orientation of the ring about its axis of rotation. The knurling or splines of the crown may be excluded from such an element.
  • distinctive sign means any visible element of the crown having the consequence that the crown is not a form of revolution.
  • a distinctive sign may include a marking of the crown, even if this marking is made without substantial contribution or removal of material to the crown.
