Definitions
- the present invention relates to a watch comprising a telescope as well as a method of fixing such a telescope. More specifically, the present invention relates to a watch comprising a bezel for fixing an ice perfectly tight and durable manner in time.
- the ultrasonic welding technique allows to secure the ice on the middle part of the watch perfectly waterproof and durable over time.
- bonding techniques which do not induce temperature rise.
- gluing techniques pose other problems. They do not always guarantee a good seal and pose problems of resistance over time.
- the document CH 661635 discloses a watch comprising a caseband which delimits with an ice a watch case, a scope being arranged in the caseband, the watch comprising an ultrasound welded bezel on the one hand on the ice, and on the other hand on the caseband.
- the present invention aims to overcome these problems by providing a telescope that allows a tight and durable mounting of a watch glass glued to a caseband.
- the present invention relates to a watch comprising a middle part which delimits with an ice a watch case, the ice being only resting on a bearing formed in the middle with which it is glued the watch comprising an ultrasonic welded bezel of on the ice and on the middle.
- the present invention also relates to a method of fixing a watch bezel, this watch comprising a caseband which delimits with an ice a watch case, this method being characterized in that it consists in sticking the ice on a seat provided in the middle part, the ice being only supported on this scope, then to weld the telescope by ultrasound firstly on the ice and secondly on the middle part, the ultrasonic welding step can be carried out while the bonding is not yet dry, the ultrasonic energy being provided in two distinct zones, firstly in a first zone where the telescope is in surface support on the ice and, secondly, in a second zone where the telescope is in surface support on the middle part.
- the present invention provides a watch whose bezel, ultrasonically welded to the ice and the middle part, allows a perfectly sealed and durable mounting of the ice, although it is simply glued to the middle part.
- the bezel is supported on the one hand on the ice and secondly on the middle part so that, once welded by ultrasound, it fixes and perfectly seals the assembly formed by the ice and the middle part.
- the ultrasonic welding step of the telescope can intervene shortly after the bonding of the ice on the middle part. It is no longer necessary to wait for the bonding to be polymerized in order to be able to continue the assembly steps of the watch according to the invention. This represents an appreciable saving of time and especially allows to work in continuous flow, without breaking the manufacturing process.
- the welding of the telescope by ultrasound provides a solid mounting including excellent resistance to permanent and opposing forces exerted by two flexible connectors.
- the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of maintaining an ice bonded to a watchband by means of a telescope which, for its part, is ultrasonically welded on both the ice and the middle part.
- the telescope is supported both on the ice and on the middle, it is possible to make the mounting of the ice on the middle part of the watch perfectly waterproof and durable although the ice is only glued and not welded. This is particularly advantageous in the case where, for example because of the presence of elements sensitive to mechanical and thermal stresses, it is not possible to ultrasonically weld the ice on the middle part.
- the single figure appended to this patent application is a partial sectional view of a watch case according to the invention.
- this watch case is delimited by a middle part 2 closed upwards by an ice cream 4.
- the middle part 2 and the watch crystal 4 are made of materials that can be glued.
- the ice 4 is made of polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA while the middle part 2 is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or ABS.
- the watch glass 4 comprises two faces, namely an upper face 6 directed on the user's side of the watch and a lower face 8 directed on the side of the watch case 1.
- the lens 4 bears against a bearing 10 2. It is made integral with the middle part 2 by means of a thin line of glue 12.
- the glaze 4 is therefore only stuck on the bearing surface 10 formed in the caseband 2, and does not bear against a dial or any other part of the watch by which the ultrasonic energy could be transmitted to the movement of the watch and deteriorate it.
- the ice 4 can be permanently immobilized and its mounting on the caseband 2 perfectly sealed by means of a telescope 14 which, as visible in the drawing, is supported on the ice 4 on the one hand, and on the middle 2 on the other hand.
- the bezel 14 is made of M-ABS, that is to say of transparent ABS plastic material.
- the attachment of the telescope 14 on the ice 4 and on the middle part 2 is done by ultrasonic welding.
- a first annular collar 16 is provided on the outer periphery of the middle part 2 and a second annular flange 18 located under the surface of the telescope 14. These two collars 16 and 18 are provided at locations where the bezel 14 bears against the middle part 2, respectively the glass 4.
- These two flanges 16 and 18 act as a director of ultrasonic energy and represent a supply of thermoplastic material that will be consumed during the welding process.
- the fraction of the flanges 16 and 18 which is consumed during welding is shown in dashed lines in areas surrounded by a circle in the single figure.
- the ultrasonic energy is supplied in two distinct zones, firstly in a first zone where the telescope 14 bears on the ice 4 and, secondly, in a second zone where the telescope 14 is 2. Since the ultrasonic energy is provided in two separate zones respectively corresponding to the welding of the telescope 14 on the glass 4 and to the welding of the telescope 14 on the middle part 2, the intensity of the ultrasonic energy provided in these two areas remains within acceptable limits that are not likely to cause deterioration of the internal components of the watch. This is not the case when ultrasonic energy is brought into a single zone to cause simultaneous welding of the telescope on the ice and the middle part. In such a case, the intensity of the applied ultrasonic energy is high and the risks of deteriorating the internal components of the watch are great.
- a digital display device is attached to the lower face 8 of the lens 4.
- this digital display device may be a liquid crystal display cell 20 comprising a front substrate 22 and a rear substrate 24 extending parallel and at a distance from one another and joined together by a sealing frame (not visible in the drawing) which delimits a sealed volume for the confinement of the liquid crystal.
- the two front and rear substrates 24 are arranged between a first and a second polarizer 26 and 28, respectively, whose polarization directions are crossed.
- the assembly formed by the two substrates 22 and 24 and the two polarizers 26 and 28 is glued by means of an optical adhesive layer 30 on the lower face 8 of the watch glass 4.
- the dimensions of the front substrate 22 exceed those of the rear substrate 24.
- These electronic control components are mounted on a printed circuit board 36 arranged in the watch case 1, under the display cell 20 and remotely. of it.
- the conductive tracks 34 for the electrical connection of the control electrodes of the liquid crystal display cell 20 are connected to corresponding conductive tracks 38 structured on the surface of the printed circuit board 36 by means of an elastomeric connector 40 which extends substantially vertically.
- an elastomeric connector also known by its zebra connector trade name, is a flexible connector formed of a plurality of conductive sheets separated from each other by elastomeric insulating sheets.
- the assembly is completed by a light guide 42 which is supported on the printed circuit board 36 and which serves to illuminate the back or backlight of the liquid crystal display cell 20.
- the light guide 42 includes a slot 44 for guiding and holding the zebra connector 40 vertically.
- the level of the span 10 relative to the printed circuit board 36 is such that when the glass 4 is bonded to the middle part 2, the zebra connector 40 is compressed.
- the compressed portion of the zebra connector 40 is shown in dashed lines in the figure.
- the present invention finds all its interest. On the one hand, because a liquid crystal cell 20 is stuck on the lower face 8 of the glass 4, sticking the glass 4 on the middle part 2 avoids any risk of damaging the cell 20. D on the other hand, since the zebra connector 40 is compressed between the liquid crystal display cell 20 and the printed circuit board 36, it tends to want to return to its original shape and exerts on the ice 4 a constraint which tends to to take off the ice 4 of the caseband 2.
