Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a decorative piece.
  • This decorative piece comprises a support in which at least one aesthetic element is crimped.
  • the support is made of metal alloy and is machined for housing to appear. During this machining, fastening means in the form of hooks are made. Generally, these hooks are made with the material forming the portable object that is to say one-piece with the object.
  • an aesthetic element such as a gemstone
  • the latter is placed in a housing and the attachment means are folded cold by plastic deformation so as to maintain said aesthetic element in the housing.
  • This method of crimping is widely used to crimp precious stones on metal supports because the latter has an advantageous plastic deformation capacity. This ability is even more advantageous with precious metals such as gold because these precious metals are ductile and can be easily shaped.
  • the cold plastic deformation of the crystalline metals is possible thanks to the movements of the dislocations present in the crystalline lattices.
  • the elastic limit that is to say the stress beyond which a material begins to deform plastically, of a crystalline alloy depends on components of the latter as well as the thermomechanical history of the alloy.
  • alloys having relatively low elastic limits are generally chosen to facilitate the work of the crimper.
  • it is necessary that the alloy has sufficient elongation before rupture to be able to fold the attachment means without breaking.
  • this elongation is the consequence of both the elements present in the alloy and the thermomechanical history of the latter.
  • the gold alloys used in watchmaking have an elastic limit of the order of 200-400 MPa and an elongation at break of 20-40%.
  • Type 1.4435 stainless steels have a yield strength of 200-300 MPa and an elongation at break of 25-45%.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that it is confined to supports made of ductile metals or metal alloys.
  • more and more timepieces are made in materials that do not exhibit plastic deformation, often hard and / or fragile, such as for example ceramic, silicon, composites or intermetallic alloys.
  • Bonding has the disadvantage of not ensuring a 100% stone resistance because unlike crimping, this technique does not involve mechanical retention of stones. Indeed, the glued areas being in most cases exposed to the external environment (moisture, sweat, UV, air pollution, ...), the holding of the bonding in the long term is made difficult. Therefore, the holding of the stones is not assured which is not acceptable for quality products.
  • the patent CH702838 discloses a decorative piece 1 comprising a solid support 2 in which is arranged at less a predefined hollow 4, and at least one aesthetic element 3 arranged so that each aesthetic element 3 is embedded in a recess 4 of the support 2.
  • the aesthetic element comprises an at least partially amorphous metallic material.
  • the invention relates to a decorative piece that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by providing a decorative piece and its manufacturing method for crimping aesthetic element on a piece of material that does not exhibit sufficient plastic deformation.

  • said at least one recess comprises vertical flanks in order to improve the maintenance of each aesthetic element in the support.
  • said at least one recess comprises flanks arranged so that the surface of the recess increases with the depth of the recess.
  • said at least one recess comprises flanks arranged so that the surface of the recess decreases with the depth of the recess.
  • said at least one recess comprises holding means extending from one of the walls of the recess for holding the first material in said recess.
  • the holding means are in the form of at least one recess.
  • the holding means are in the form of at least one through recess.
  • the holding means are in the form of at least one protrusion.
  • the first material is a totally amorphous metallic material.
  • the first material comprises at least one element which is of the precious type, included in the list comprising gold, platinum, palladium, rhenium, ruthenium, rhodium, silver, iridium or osmium.
  • the distance between the aesthetic element and an edge of the recess is at least 0.01mm.
  • the height of the housing is at least equal to the height of the yoke of the aesthetic element.
  • the crimping step e) consists of a cold plastic deformation of the attachment means.
  • the crimping step e) consists of a hot plastic deformation of the attachment means.
  • the crimping step e) consists of an elastic deformation of the attachment means.
  • the crimping step e) consists of a thermal expansion of the support (2) and the first material in order to crimp the said at least one aesthetic element in the said at least one hole.

  • the step c) of filling the hollow is by hot forming.
  • the c) filling step of the recess is by powder densification.
  • step c) consists in filling the hollow by driving.
  • This mode consists of heating the support to thermally expand and increase the dimensions of the hollow and then to place the substrate in the recess and then contract the support.
  • the method further comprises a step of crystallizing the first material.
  • the attachment means comprise at least one crimping element.
  • said at least one aesthetic element comprises at least one groove in which said first material is inserted to improve the holding of said at least one aesthetic element.
  • the principle used is a principle of the material that is to say that a substrate in a deformable material is introduced into a plastically deformable material so as to allow crimping and to give the illusion that it is this non-plastically deformable material which is crimped.
  • the present invention is a decorative piece 1. It consists of a first part 2 and a second part 3.
  • the two parts 2, 3 are arranged to become integral with each other.
  • the second part 3 is intended to be crimped in the first part 2.
  • the first part may be a support 2 and the second part 3, one or more aesthetic elements.
  • This or these aesthetic elements 3 can be precious stones such as diamonds or rubies or non precious like zircons or any other possible aesthetic element.
  • the decorative piece 1 may be, for example, a watch bezel 10 inlaid with indicia as visible in FIG. figure 1 or a watch glass 11 visible to the figure 2 or a dial 22 or any external parts of a watch or timepiece.
  • a dial the latter comprises a discoidal body forming the support 2 in which are crimped aesthetic elements 3.
  • This dial can be, for example, made of ceramic. It will be understood that ceramics are not the only material that can be used. Thus, any material that does not exhibit sufficient plastic deformation can be used such as sapphire, silicon or glass.
  • the interest is to crimp the said ice allowing a visual effect in three dimensions such as a time lapse or a logo above the needles.
  • the decorative piece 1 can also be a pen or a cuff or an article of jewelry like a ring or an earring.
  • the surface of the support 2 which will be crimped may be flat or curved, that is to say concave or convex.
  • this support 2 comprises at least one recess 4, represented on the figure 4 , arranged on said support to allow the crimping of at least one aesthetic element.
  • Each recess 4 is then in the form of a pattern and has flanks 7, preferably substantially perpendicular to the visible surface.
  • These recesses 4 are used to allow the use of a substrate 6 for crimping.
  • the invention proposes to fill said hollow 4 with a first material more easily deformable so as to crimp said at least one aesthetic element 3, which is not possible with a support 2 of ceramic or silicon.
  • a first metal material it is envisaged to use in the present invention a first metal material.
  • the first step, visible at figure 3 is to provide the support 2 in a material that does not deform plastically.
  • the second step visible at figure 4 , This consists of making at least one recess 4 in the support 2.
  • This recess 4 can be made for example by machining, by laser ablation, see directly during the molding of the support or by any other technique.
  • the third step is to fill said recess with a first material. This first material is then used to serve as a substrate 6. The third step makes it possible to obtain the support 2 visible at the figure 6 .
  • the first material is an amorphous metal alloy.
  • the metallic material will be partially amorphous or totally amorphous.
  • the partially amorphous term indicates that for a block of material, the percentage of material amount of said block having the amorphous state is sufficient for the block itself to have the characteristics specific to amorphous metals and metal alloys.
  • Amorphous materials have the advantage of can be easily formatted.
  • the precious metal or one of these alloys is included in the list comprising gold, platinum, palladium, rhenium, ruthenium, rhodium, silver, iridium or osmium.
  • FIG. 5 and 6 represent in a simplified manner the steps of filling the hollow 4.
  • This preform 6a may be made by various techniques such as, for example, injection into a form mold, hot forming above Tg, stamping of the strip, or by machining.
  • this preform 6 is placed above the support 2, as visible in FIG. figure 5 on the face where said digs 4 open to perform the filling of said recesses by hot forming.
  • the assembly is then heated to a temperature above the glass transition temperature Tg, thus allowing a decrease in the viscosity of the preform, and then a pressure is exerted. Once these conditions are met, the pressure exerted on the viscous preform allows the viscous amorphous metal alloy to fill the recess 4 as visible in FIG. figure 6 . Then, when the recesses 4 are filled as visible in the figure 6 the whole is cooled in order to maintain the amorphous state of the alloy.
  • the vertical flanks 7 can retain the amorphous material by friction.
  • the flanks 7 may be inclined to shrink the surface of the horizontal plane at the bottom of the recess 4 or on the contrary so as to enlarge. It goes without saying that the most advantageous case is that where the surface of the bottom of the hollow 4 is the largest since it allows to naturally retain the amorphous metal alloy in the recess 4. Conversely, when the inclination generates a larger section at the surface of the support 2, the maintenance of the amorphous material in the recess 4 is no longer optimal. Another advantage is that this decreasing viscosity causes a decrease in the stress to be applied to fill the recesses 4 with the amorphous metal alloy. Therefore, the support 2 of fragile materials is not likely to break although a pressing operation is performed.
  • the casting or injection process consists of heating a metal preform above its melting point and then pouring or injecting the liquid metal thus obtained into the hollow 4 of the support 2.
  • the powder densification process consists in introducing a metal powder into the hollow 4 of the support 2 and consolidating it by a supply of energy such as an oven, a laser beam, an ion beam or any other thermal means. Once the hollow 4 filled, a cooling step to a temperature below Tg is performed to prevent the crystallization of the alloy to obtain a hollow 4 filled with amorphous or semi-amorphous metal alloy.
  • the hunting method consists in producing an amorphous metal alloy block whose dimensions and shape are slightly larger than those of the recess 4 and forcing this block to enter said recess 4.
  • it can be provided to realize this assembly step using thermal expansion.
  • the support 2 is heated so that, under the effect of heat, it is thermally expanded.
  • the support 2 sees its dimensions increased.
  • This increase in dimensions is also applicable to the hollow 4. Therefore the difference between the dimensions of the recess 4 and the dimensions of the block is modified so that the dimensions of the hollow 4 become larger than those in the block. It is then easy to insert the block in the hollow 4.
  • the support 2 When the support 2 is cooled, it resumes its initial dimensions and the block is stuck in said recess 4.
  • a fourth preparation step is performed.
  • This step consists of manufacturing the crimping housings (holes) 8 in which the aesthetic elements 3 are placed, and to manufacture the hooking means.
  • This step can be carried out either conventionally such as machining, milling, drilling, or in a less conventional manner, by hot deformation, or by a combination of both ways.
  • the method of hot deformation comprises using a tool having the negative geometry of the hole and the crimping element and applying this tool, with a certain force and at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature Tg of the amorphous metal, on the amorphous metal alloy filling the hollow 4. It is thus possible to avoid the machining steps that can be difficult depending on the amorphous metal alloys used.
  • the attachment means 5 is in the form of at least one crimping element 9.
  • This crimping element 9 in the case for example of a grain crimping, consists of studs or grains arranged around the periphery of each crimping hole 8. These studs 9, visible at figures 8 and 10 are made by machining and are made before or after the drilling of the crimping holes 8. In fact, during the machining of the holes, the material of the substrate 6, that is to say of the first material, is removed so to form these crimping grains 9.
  • crimping closed consists of a single crimping element 9 extending on the periphery of the aesthetic element 3.
  • the crimping rod is used to crimp the aesthetic elements 3 cut into stick.
  • This crimping consists in providing crimping elements 9 extending parallel to each side of the aesthetic element 3 coming down on the latter.
  • the crimping elements 9 are projecting portions arranged in the crimping hole 8. These projecting portions cooperate with at least one groove made on said aesthetic element 3 so that the crimping is done by inserting the aesthetic element 3 in the hole 8 until the projecting portions fit into said at least one groove.
  • the aesthetic element 3 is in the form of a diamond comprising a yoke 3b in which are cut several facets and a crown 3c also faceted surmounted by a 3d table as visible in the figure 15 .
  • This aesthetic element has, seen from above, a substantially circular shape. For the illusion of crimping in the material of the support 2 is intact, it is expected that the width of the recess 4 is ideally equal to that of the aesthetic element 3.
  • the distance between the aesthetic element 3 and the edge of the recess 4 must be at least 0.01mm so that the visual effect of the aesthetic element 3 in the support 2 is optimal, that is to say to have the impression that the aesthetic element 3 remains embedded in the ceramic support 2 and not in a metal.
  • the maximum distance between the aesthetic element 3 and the edge of the recess 4 this will depend on the dimensions and shapes of the aesthetic elements 3. For example, for an aesthetic element 3 with a diameter of 1 mm, the distance between the aesthetic element 3 and the edge of the recess 4 will be 0.45 mm.
  • the distance between the aesthetic element 3 and the edge of the recess 4 is composed of a so-called worked area, that is to say an area in which the crimping grains are made, this area can be hollow, and a so-called non-worked area which is an aesthetic and visual area.
  • this non-worked area will be at least 0.01mm and at most 0.20mm. Preferably, it will be 0.10 mm.
  • the height of the hole 8 is at least equal to the height of the yoke of the aesthetic element 3.
  • the crimping grains 9, four in number are made so as to have a shape of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is convex.
  • the convex shape of the hypotenuse is similar to the curvature to that of the aesthetic element 3 when it is seen from above.
  • the conventional crimping step consists of deformation.
  • This technique consists in placing the aesthetic element 3 in the hole 8 and in deforming the substrate and / or the crimping elements 5 to press them on said aesthetic element 3 as visible to the Figures 9 to 13 . As a result, the latter is held in the crimping hole 8.
  • the deformation can be plastic. In this case, it is done with a tool called perloir 100 used to deform each crimping element 9, it allows to obtain the aesthetic element 3 set with the figure 13 .
  • the deformation may also be elastic or obtained by thermal expansion.
  • the crimping is obtained by clipping the aesthetic element in the attachment means 5. It is obvious that in this case, a slight plastic deformation of the attachment means 5 could take place.
  • the crimping is obtained by heating the support 2 to a sufficiently high temperature to allow the encrustation of the aesthetic element 3 in its hole 8 without effort. The cooling will then make it possible to contract the material thus making it possible to maintain the aesthetic element 3 by the attachment means 5.
  • amorphous metals unlike crystalline metals, have no dislocations and can not plastically deform by the movement of the latter. They therefore generally have a fragile behavior, that is to say that they suddenly break once the elastic limit exceeded. It has been found, however, that some amorphous alloys can accommodate macroscopic permanent deformation by generation of slip bands at the microscopic scale. The exact nature of these is not yet clearly identified. In addition to being dependent on the type of amorphous alloy, the ability to accommodate permanent deformation in amorphous metals is highly dependent on the dimensions of the part. Thus, the smaller the dimensions of the area requested, the greater the permanent deformation.
  • a first embodiment is used in the case where the amorphous alloys accommodate the permanent deformation and have not too high elastic limits, typically less than 1500 MPa:
  • the crimping method is identical to that used for crystalline metals, it is that is, the cold plastic deformation of the grains 9 created in the amorphous alloy.
  • a second embodiment is used in the case where the amorphous alloys having elastic limits that are too high for deformation cold plastic, typically greater than 1500 MPa:
  • the method of crimping is to heat the grains 9 at a temperature above the glass transition temperature Tg of the amorphous metal alloy to greatly reduce the viscosity and therefore the force required for their deformation. Once the grains 9 at the right temperature, they are deformed so that crimping can take place. A cooling operation is then carried out to solidify them and make the crimping permanent.
  • This solution has the advantage of allowing intimate contact between the amorphous metal alloy and the aesthetic element 3, which improves the resistance of the latter.
  • a third embodiment is used when the amorphous alloys are difficult to crimp by cold or hot plastic deformation.
  • This mode consists of taking advantage of the large elastic deformation of amorphous alloys, typically 2%, unlike crystalline alloys which deform plastically from 0.5%.
  • the method consists in pressing the aesthetic element 3 into the crimping hole 8 of the substrate 6. Under the pressure, the amorphous metal alloy of the substrate 6 is deformed elastically allowing the aesthetic element 3 to be inserted.

  • These attachment means 5 is in the form of a crimping recess in which the girdle or the end or the edge 3a of the aesthetic element 3 is inserted.
  • a fifth embodiment can be envisaged in which the fourth step d) and the fifth step e) are simultaneous.
  • This mode consists of heating the aesthetic element to a temperature above the glass transition temperature Tg of the first material and then pressing it therein, that is to say the amorphous metal alloy.
  • the heat released by said aesthetic element locally heats the substrate 6 to a temperature greater than Tg which allows the amorphous metal alloy to greatly reduce its viscosity thus facilitating insertion.
  • the Substrate 6 is cooled to maintain the amorphous state of the alloy and is deburred from any surplus material. This step thus allows a better grip of the aesthetic element 3 in the substrate 6 due to the ability of the amorphous metal alloy to marry the contours.

  • This variant consists in providing that the aesthetic element 3 is directly placed in the recess 4 before the step of filling said recess 4 with the first material.
