Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wristwatch having an animation above the dial.
  • CH55403 issued in 1911, describes an innovation to existing cuckoo clocks consisting in that at each call of the cuckoo a mechanism puts into action figures arranged on the front of the pendulum.
  • US2504811 describes a table clock with a cuckoo to play a melody composed of different notes, and simultaneously move one or more parts of the bird such as the beak or the tail. A bellows blows air into the whistle.
  • CH668846 describes a snuffbox comprising a mechanical songbird placed in a housing provided with a lid.
  • the bird can pass a mobile position lying down, resting, in a vertical position, singing under the effect of a spring mechanism controlled by snap.
  • the engagement of the mechanism automatically produces a cycle of operations including opening the lid and, simultaneously, the exit of the bird in the singing position, then the song of the bird and, finally, the stop of the song, the bird's return to the resting position, closing the lid and stopping the mechanism itself.
  • the Swiss patent CH32172 describes a pocket watch with two-dimensional blacksmiths above the dial, oscillated by the movement of the watch.
  • German utility model DE20310007U1 describes a wristwatch or a pocket watch comprising a bird placed behind a window that opens at a given time, simultaneously with the emission of a cuckoo sound, the window then closing.
  • Such two-dimensional mobiles in front of or behind the dial create a little visible animation.
  • the size of the animated elements above and below the dial must necessarily be limited to leave room for other time indications. Users who are not just above the dial may not see the animation at all, which is only for the wearer of the watch.
  • these two-dimensional mobiles move in a plane parallel to the dial, above or below this dial. Such a movement is not very visible for a person who is not at the vertical of the dial. This displacement also covers a surface important over or under the dial, which can not be used for other displays of the watch.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a wristwatch having a more visible animation above the dial than the known animations.
  • This watch has the advantage of presenting a three-dimensional character over the dial, more visible than a two-dimensional object.
  • the term character includes both humans and animals.
  • a three-dimensional animated character in a wristwatch produces a surprise effect, since such characters, known in much larger devices, are totally unexpected in a wristwatch.
  • This watch also has the advantage of animating this character, or at least part of this character, by moving it in a non-parallel plane to the dial. This displacement is more visible than a movement parallel to the dial, and also occupies a smaller area of the dial that can be made available for other indicators.
  • the movement of the character, and / or part of the character may include at least one translation component not parallel to the dial.
  • the movement of the character, and / or part of the character may include at least one component of rotation about an axis not perpendicular to the dial.
  • the three-dimensional character may include at least one moving part relative to the rest of the character.
  • An axis perpendicular to the dial can control the movements of this moving part.
  • the character in addition to these displacements in a non-parallel plane to the dial, the character, or a part of this character, can also undergo an additional displacement, for example a rotation and / or a translation, in a plane parallel to the dial. This makes the animation even more visible, even if this movement parallel to the dial is of little amplitude.
  • Parts of the character can move in different non-parallel planes. Parts of the character may move nonplanar.
  • the wristwatch may have a plurality of coaxial axes extending above the dial, in a direction perpendicular to the dial, and arranged to move independently one or more parts of the character and / or the entire character.
  • an axis can control the movement of the entire character.
  • Another axis can control the movement of a part of the character.
  • a third axis may be provided to control the movement of a third part of the character.
  • the character can be constituted by a mechanical bird.
  • the beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of this mechanical bird may be movable relative to the body of the bird.
  • the body of the bird can be mobile with respect to the dial.
  • the beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of this mechanical bird can be movable in a plane not parallel to the dial.
  • the body of the bird can be mobile in a plane parallel to the dial.
  • the body of the mechanical bird rotates about itself about an axis perpendicular to the dial, while the head, the tail and the wings rotate about axes not perpendicular to the dial. .
  • the body of the character for example of the bird may be hollow and house a mechanism for moving parts of the character, for example to move the beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of said bird according to the movements of the axis or axes.
  • the watch movement and the character's training device may be independent of each other.
  • the training device of the character may comprise a first cylinder and the watch movement may comprise a second barrel.
  • the two barrels can be reassembled independently of one another.
  • the training device of the character may include a first regulating member.
  • the watch movement may comprise a second regulating member.
  • the two regulating organs can be independent of one another.
  • the accuracy of the second regulating member may be significantly higher than the accuracy of the first regulating member.
  • the first regulating member may be constituted by a simple brake or a feeder device for braking the movements of the character.
  • the second regulating member may be constituted by a sprung-balance assembly.
  • the watch movement can cause the character's training device.
  • the watch movement can provide the energy needed for this training.
  • the watch movement can determine when this character begins to be trained.
  • the watch movement can regulate the movement speed of the character.
  • the character's training device may include a whistle arranged to mimic the field of a bird.
  • the wristwatch may include an ice over the dial and the character, a first portion of the ice covering the dial, and a second portion of the ice covering the character.
  • the second part may be more curved than the first part. Both parts can be welded or glued to each other.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a watch case 200 comprising the character training device 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the watch case has a middle part 201, a bottom 202 and a two part glazed piece 203-206 glued or assembled to one another, one of the parts 206 covering the dial 204 with the time display while the ice portion 203 more convex protects the character 20 which extends above this dial 204, perpendicularly to this dial, being rotated by the lever or the axis 21.
  • the element 205 is the watch movement, which in this embodiment is independent and does not cooperate with the character training device 1.
  • the watch movement 205 may be mechanical.
  • the device 1 for driving the character 20 occupies in this example a volume in the watch case next to and below the volume occupied by the movement 205.
  • the movement 205 is off-center with respect to the box, the needles not represented by the movement moving next to the character 20 which does not cover these needles.
  • Character training devices 1 on the same plate as the watch movement, or on an auxiliary module cooperating with this movement 205, can however also be imagined.
  • dial in this application must be interpreted broadly; it can either be a separate piece, for example an enamelled piece, pearly, etc., or in the case of a skeleton watch for example the upper surface of the movement above which is move the hands of the wristwatch.
  • the dial can be defined as the background in front of which the hands and / or the animated character move.
  • the plane of the dial is the plane of the upper surface of the dial; in the case of a non-planar surface, the plane of the dial is a plane parallel to the plane of movement of the hands.
  • the character 20 is constituted in this example by a three-dimensional mechanical bird that extends prominently above the dial 204.
  • the character 20 may be made of metal material, for example precious metal, ceramic, or any other appropriate material. It can be manufactured by molding, machining or bending from sheets of material. It can be feathered.
  • the training device 1 of the character 20 may comprise an axis 21 passing through the dial 204 perpendicularly to the dial 204 to drive the character 20 and move it.
  • Several axes 21, 21a may be arranged concentrically to independently drive the body of the bird and one or more parts of this bird, for example the tail, the beak and / or the wings. These parts can also be operated independently of each other by several independent axes.
  • a hollow outer axis 21 may cause rotation of the complete bird about this axis, in a plane parallel to the dial, while an axis 21a within this axis may cause a displacement of a part of this bird in relation to the body of the bird.
  • the axis or axes 21, 21a can be rotated by the device 1, and / or in longitudinal translation.
  • the outer axis 21 makes rotational movements about its longitudinal axis, while the axis 21a controlling the parts of the bird performs reciprocating movements back and forth along the same longitudinal axis inside the axis 21. It is possible to use more than two concentric axes. It is possible to independently control several parts of the bird by independent movements of a single axis.
  • the character 20 may be hollow. It can house a part of the mechanism to control the movement of the parts of the character according to the movements of the axis 21, 21 a. For example, it can house a mechanism for actuating the head, the beak, the wings and / or the tail of the bird, depending on the movements of the axis 21a.
  • the mechanism inside the character 20 may comprise a cam and / or a rocking piece against the force of a spring under the thrust of the axis 21a, in order to simultaneously move the spout, the wings and the tail in relation to the body of the bird. Several pieces can be provided inside the bird to move independently different parts of this character.
  • the head of an axis 21a may be provided with a cam to cause the spreading of the wings, or a displacement of another part of the bird, when this axis 21a is turned 90 ° or another angle relative to the body of the bird.
  • the movements of the character 20 may involve for example a rotation of the complete character around the axis 21, in a plane parallel to the dial 204 and the plane of movement of the needles.
  • the character 20 may for example perform several turns on itself.
  • the axis 21 can also be controlled via a rake to perform rotary back and forth movements and to reverse the direction of rotation of the bird.
  • the figure 2 illustrates an example of a device portion 1 for driving the character 1 via the axis 21 or the axes 21, 21 a.
  • the device comprises a barrel 5 provided with an external toothing 6 meshing with a pinion 100 of a kinematic chain 10.
  • the pinion 100 is mounted on the axis of a wheel 101 driving a second pinion 102 on the axis of the wheel 103.
  • the transmission ratio between the barrel 5, which performs for example a rotation in two seconds, and the wheel 103, which performs for example ten rotations per second, is advantageously between 1/5 and 1/50, for example 1/20.
  • This multiplication ratio can also be obtained with a number of wheels and pinions (simultaneously designated as mobile) different in the driveline 10.
  • the barrel 5 is also provided with cams 3, 6a, 6b, for example cams mounted on its periphery, in order to animate a character 20 and / or to actuate various other mechanisms, for example elements of a whistle mechanism.
