Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch holder for auf istde watches, which is intended to be included in a receiving cylinder of a watch winder, as well as a watch winder and a method for mounting mechanical automatic watches.
  • Watch winders are generally used for mounting mechanical automatic watches. Such mechanical automatic watches are designed in principle that they are constantly raised by wearing on the wrist and the resulting movements. If the clock fully wound, that is, the drive spring of the watch mechanism is fully biased, so depending on the design and functionality of the clock a runtime, or a so-called power reserve, guaranteed from 20 to 40 hours. Unless the watch is worn, so if there is no regular movement, the movement stops at the end of the power reserve and the clock must be wound manually.
  • Watch winder are known in principle from the prior art. For example, describes EP 1 780 614 A1 a tourbillon watch winder, in which a watch holder is stored in a drum and moved by means of driven rollers about a longitudinal axis.
  • the watch carrier is not described specifically, it should be used only in the drum and can hold a clock.
  • the watch carrier is here designed as a simple cylindrical block made of a deformable material, which is pressed into a rotatable drum and there holds a clock applied to him.
  • US 2005/0254352 A1 a controllable Uhraufzieher for self-winding clocks, in which a turntable is provided for holding and turning the clock.
  • a holding piece is described with a substantially cylindrical shape, the size of which is dimensioned for insertion into an opening of the turntable.
  • the edges of the retainer may be bevelled to secure a watch to it.
  • the retainer may be configured for rapid compressibility and decompressibility in the axial direction to facilitate attachment of the watch thereto.
  • the retaining piece may be formed by an internal cylindrical block of open-cell foam and surrounded by a shell of porous material.
  • a disadvantage of the prior art is that depending on the size and weight of the auf istden clock and depending on the material of the watch carrier whose clamping effect in the drum is not sufficient to keep the auf istde clock safely in the drum. In addition, the material of the watch wearer can age, so that its clamping effect is also lost.
  • the above-defined watch carrier (17) is characterized in particular in that it reliably and reliably holds a watch arranged in one of the receiving cylinders (3, 5, 7) in the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) without the watch carrier (17 ) slides on the inner wall of the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7).
  • the present invention relates to a watch carrier (17) for receiving in a receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) of a watch winder (1).
  • the watch carrier (17) comprises a viscoelastic base body (101) with a substantially cylindrical shape and two end surfaces (103a, 103b), wherein in the peripheral surface (105) of the viscoelastic base body (101) two opposite receiving troughs (107a, 107b) for a mechanical Automatic watch are arranged.
  • the watch carrier (17) further comprises a coating (111) for improving, that is increasing the adhesion of the watch carrier (17) in the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) on at least a portion of the peripheral surface (105) of the viscoelastic body ( 101) is applied.
  • the watch carrier (17) according to the invention has the advantage over the prior art that it adheres securely to the inner surface of a receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7), in particular by the coating (111) on its circumferential surface (105), so that it also in the assembly with a large and heavy clock during a movement of the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) does not slide. Rather, the coating (111) according to the invention increases the adhesion between the watch carrier (17) and the inner wall of the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) such that no unwanted movement takes place. In this respect, it is possible to speak of an essentially non-positive contact between watch carrier (17) and receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7).
  • receiving cylinder is essentially understood a tubular body whose inner diameter is sufficiently dimensioned so that a clock on the watch carrier (17) according to the invention can be arranged therein.
  • the inner diameter of the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) is generally 100 mm to 50 mm, preferably 90 mm to 60 mm, particularly preferably 75 mm to 65 mm and in particular 70 mm.
  • clock is understood in particular to be watches whose mechanical movement has an automatic elevator. These are often wristwatches, but can in principle be all sorts of mechanical watches with automatic winding.
  • “Viscoelastic body” is an element that can be reversibly deformed within certain limits, on the one hand to apply a clock on it and hold and on the other hand can be compressed so far that a trouble insertion into a receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) possible is.
  • the coating (111) according to the invention is applied in a suitable manner to the viscoelastic base body (101) during the production of the watch carrier (17).

  • the coating (111 ) be applied flat, punctiform, linear and / or strip-shaped on the peripheral surface (105). In addition, a full-surface coating (111) is possible.
  • the coating (111) comprises rubber, latex, silicone and / or polyurethane. These materials are characterized by good adhesion to smooth surfaces such as the inner surfaces of the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7), with simultaneous aging resistance.
  • the improved adhesion may further contribute to the development that the outer diameter (D A ) of the watch carrier (17) is 0.1% to 10% greater than the inner diameter of the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7).
  • the clamping force of the watch carrier (17) in the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) is increased by the viscoelasticity of the base body (101).
  • a level of less than 0.1% a sufficient clamping effect is no longer observed, while at a level of more than 10% of the watch carrier (17) must be excessively deformed to insert it into the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7) ,

  • the dimensionally stable disc (113) has an outer contour which substantially corresponds to the cross-sectional contour of the viscoelastic base body (101). This ensures that the disc (113) rests well on the viscoelastic base body (101) and shows excellent optics.
  • the outer contour of the dimensionally stable disk (113) is 0.1% to 10% smaller is as the inner diameter of the receiving cylinder (3, 5, 7). Less than 0.1% does not assure jam-free insertion, while more than 10% greatly affects the optics of the watch carrier (17).

  • the sheath (109) depending on its material, leads to an improved fit of the watch on the watch carrier (17).
