Description

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention se rapporte à une montre-bracelet comportant un bracelet, une boîte en matière plastique comprenant une carrure-lunette, un verre de montre, un fond et deux paires de cornes auxquelles sont respectivement fixées les deux extrémités du bracelet, et comportant une demi-coque supérieure en métal recouvrant le dessus de la boîte et une partie de la carrure, et présentant une ouverture laissant voir la glace, et comportant encore une couronne ou un poussoir de commande faisant saillie de la carrure.The present invention relates to a wristwatch comprising a bracelet, a plastic box comprising a middle-bezel, a watch glass, a bottom and two pairs of horns which are respectively fixed at both ends of the bracelet, and comprising a upper half-shell metal covering the top of the box and part of the middle part, and having an opening to see the ice, and further comprising a crown or a control pusher projecting from the middle part.

ART ANTERIEURPRIOR ART

On connait des montres-bracelet conformes à la définition ci-dessus. Le document de brevet EP 0 351 706 notamment décrit une montre dont la boîte comporte une carrure-lunette en plastique recouverte par une coiffe en métal. La coiffe est susceptible de recouvrir entièrement la partie lunette de la carrure-lunette et s'étend au moins partiellement le long du flanc présenté par la partie carrure de la carrure-lunette. Selon ce document antérieur, lorsque la montre est portée au poignet, la présence de la coiffe donne l'impression que la montre est en métal. Cette montre de l'art antérieur présente toutefois certains défauts. En effet, si l'on retourne la montre, pour changer la pile par exemple, l'impression de qualité est gâchée par la présence du rebord de la coiffe qui encercle le fond. Des tentatives ont été faites sans grand succès pour masquer le joint entre le rebord de la coiffe et le plastique de la boîte. Un but de la présente invention est de remédier au problème de l'art antérieur qui vient d'être exposé.We know wristwatches conform to the definition above. The patent document EP 0 351 706 in particular describes a watch whose box comprises a middle-bezel plastic covered by a metal cap. The cap is likely to completely cover the bezel portion of the middle-bezel and extends at least partially along the side presented by the middle part of the middle-bezel. According to this prior document, when the watch is worn on the wrist, the presence of the cap gives the impression that the watch is metal. This watch of the prior art, however, has certain defects. Indeed, if we turn the watch, to change the battery for example, the impression of quality is spoiled by the presence of the rim of the cap that encircles the bottom. of the Attempts were made without much success to mask the seal between the rim of the cap and the plastic of the box. An object of the present invention is to overcome the problem of the prior art which has just been described.

BREF EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONBRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A cet effet, la présente invention fournit une montre-bracelet conforme à la revendication 1 annexée.For this purpose, the present invention provides a wristwatch according to the appended claim 1.

On comprendra que selon l'invention, les deux joints formés respectivement entre les rebords des deux demi-coques et le plastique de la boîte ne sont pas cachés. De plus, comme un espace vide est prévu entre les rebords des deux demi-coques, on jouit d'une grande liberté dans le choix de la hauteur des rebords des de ces coques. De plus, les rebords n'ayant pas besoin d'être parallèles, on retrouve la même liberté pour le dessins des profils des deux rebords. En outre, le fait de faire passer la couronne ou le bouton-poussoir entre les deux demi-coques contribue aussi à alléger les contraintes concernant la forme de chacune des demi-coques.It will be understood that according to the invention, the two joints respectively formed between the edges of the two half-shells and the plastic of the box are not hidden. In addition, as an empty space is provided between the edges of the two half-shells, there is great freedom in the choice of the height of the edges of these shells. In addition, the edges do not need to be parallel, we find the same freedom for the drawings of the profiles of the two edges. In addition, passing the crown or push-button between the two half-shells also helps to reduce the constraints on the shape of each of the half-shells.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE D'UN MODE DE REALISATIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT

Les figures 1 et 2 sont respectivement des vues en perspective et de côté d'une montre-bracelet selon une mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention. La boîte de la montre (globalement référencée 1) est ronde et (globalement référencée 1) porte deux paires de cornes 12 pour attacher un bracelet (non représenté ; une corne de chaque paire est visible dans la figure 1). La montre représentée est une montre chronographe munie d'un couronne de mise à l'heure et de deux boutons-poussoirs 15.The figures 1 and 2 are respectively perspective and side views of a wristwatch according to a particular embodiment of the invention. The box of the watch (generally referenced 1) is round and (generally referenced 1) carries two pairs of horns 12 to attach a bracelet (not shown, a horn of each pair is visible in the figure 1 ). The watch shown is a chronograph watch equipped with a time setting ring and two push buttons 15.

Selon l'invention, la montre comporte une demi-coque supérieure 4 et une demi-coque inférieure 5. La demi-coque supérieure 4 recouvre le dessus de la boîte 1, la partie supérieur de la carrure et le dessus des cornes 12. La demi-coque supérieure présente une ouverture circulaire agencée pour laisser passer la lunette et le verre de la montre 8 (visible sur la figure 3). La demi-coque inférieure 5 recouvre le fond de la boîte 1 et la partie inférieure de la carrure. Selon l'invention, un espace allongé 6 est ménagé entre la demi-coque supérieure et la demi-coque inférieure. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'espace 6 à la forme d'une bande horizontale à mi-hauteur de la carrure, une partie de la carrure étant visible dans cet espace. De plus, la couronne 13 et les deux poussoirs 15 sont également placés dans l'espace 6.According to the invention, the watch comprises an upper half-shell 4 and a lower half-shell 5. The upper half-shell 4 covers the top of the box 1, the upper part of the middle and the top of the horns 12. The upper half-shell has a circular opening arranged to let the bezel and the glass of the watch 8 (visible on the figure 3 ). The lower half-shell 5 covers the bottom of the box 1 and the lower part of the middle part. According to the invention, an elongated space 6 is provided between the upper half-shell and the lower half-shell. In the example shown, the space 6 in the form of a horizontal band at mid-height of the middle part, a part of the middle part being visible in this space. In addition, the ring 13 and the two pushers 15 are also placed in the space 6.

La réalisation des deux demi-coques selon l'invention comprend typiquement plusieurs étapes, par exemple un étampage préliminaire suivi, dans le cas des demi-coques, d'un emboutissage. De ces opérations sont issues notamment les demi-coques supérieure et inférieure 4 et 5 avec leur galbe et leurs parois latérales, ainsi que l'ouverture 3 dans la demi-coque supérieure 4. L'épaisseur de la feuille métallique utilisée pour réaliser les deux demi-coques est avantageusement d'environ 0,3 mm. Une fois les demi-coques 4 et 5 formées, elles sont de préférence collées sur la boîte de montre.The embodiment of the two half-shells according to the invention typically comprises several steps, for example a preliminary stamping followed, in the case of half-shells, a stamping. From these operations come in particular the upper and lower half-shells 4 and 5 with their curve and their side walls, as well as the opening 3 in the upper half-shell 4. The thickness of the metal sheet used to make the two half-shells is preferably about 0.3 mm. Once the half-shells 4 and 5 formed, they are preferably glued on the watch case.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, une coiffe annulaire 11 en forme de lunette recouvre la lunette 8. La coiffe 11 permet de masquer le joint entre la lunette 8 et la demi-coque métallique 4. La coiffe 11 est de préférence rapportée par collage après la pose de la demi-coque supérieure 4.In the illustrated embodiment, an annular cap 11 in the form of a bezel covers the telescope 8. The cap 11 makes it possible to mask the seal between the bezel 8 and the metal half-shell 4. The cap 11 is preferably attached by gluing after the laying of the upper half-shell 4.
