Definitions
- the invention relates to a watch comprising a multifunction display device.
- a watch displays with the help of hands on a fixed dial bearing time marks the hours, minutes and seconds. It can also display the calendar of the month as well as the months and / or days of the week by means of a disc also bearing time indicators scrolling behind a window.
- an adjustment button typically a crown
- rotation is only possible in one direction.
- the means are therefore mono-directional but there are bidirectional systems that are of course more complicated.
- the disc can carry the time markers but also marks corresponding to chronograph type functions CHRONO or alarm ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.
- the demand EP 0 075 535 A1 discloses a watch with a display of AM / PM time markers and an OFF function of the alarm. But this watch does not display the dates. These function indicators can be inserted behind the dates.
- the disc thus carries thirty-one time indicators and the number of functional indicators that equips the watch. The size of these indicators is often defined so that all these indicators cover 360 ° in order to be readable. For readability issues, the number of positions for and for the functions is about 40 so as to have a sufficiently large character size.
- control means are often mono-directional and therefore if, during the rotation, it magnifies the function, it is necessary to make the disk almost a turn. This operation takes 30 to 60 seconds to rotate 360 °.
- One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional display device that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks, that is to say by providing a multifunctional display device for rapid use in case of mishandling.
- the invention relates to a watch according to claims 1 or 2.
- the rotary assembly comprises a rotary support, date indicators and function indicators being disposed on its periphery.
- the rotary assembly comprises a first rotary support comprising the time indicators, said first rotary support which has a light that can coincide with the window of the dial and a second support on which the function indicators are listed several times, control means of the In a search mode of a function, the watch is designed to rotate the support of the time indicators in order to bring the light in front of the window to make the second rotary support visible under the light.
- the rotary assembly comprises a first rotary support on which the function indicators are listed several times, said first rotary support having a light that can coincide with the window of the dial and a second support comprising the indicators. temporal, the light of the first rotary support coinciding with the dial window in a normal operating mode in which the current time is displayed, the rotary assembly further comprising watch control means constituted for in a mode of operation To search for a function, rotate the first rotary support to bring the function indicators next to the window of the dial.
- the function indicators are divided into at least two groups each arranged one behind the other.
- the time indicators are split into two groups and between each group of time indicators is inserted a group of function indicators.
- a display device 1 month of the month that is to say the numbers ranging from one to thirty-one.
- Such a device is used in a watch movement behind a dial 5 (visible at the figure 6 ).
- These calendars are date indicators 3. They are inscribed on the periphery of a rotating assembly 2 and are positioned chronologically behind a window 6 of a dial (visible at the figure 6 ).
- This rotary assembly 2 is driven by a unidirectional motor element having the advantage of being simple to produce.
- This watch movement is preferably an electronic movement comprising a control circuit (not shown), in which the rotary assembly 2 is driven by an independent motor of the step-by-step or piezoelectric type.
- a control circuit not shown
- the use of such an engine is advantageous because they can have a high speed of rotation.
- the rotary support has indicators 4 of functions such as CHRONO, ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.
- the watch works in the following way.
- the display of the calendar being active, when the CHRONO function is desired, it is first possible to actuate a setting control which makes it possible to turn the rotary assembly 2 and to bring the function, for example CHRONO, in front of the window, then a command and the CHRONO function is enabled.
- the figure 1 shows the state of the art which consists in showing the thirty-one time indicators, one behind the other then the indicators of functions A, B, C.
- the function indicators 4 appear at least twice so that the rotating assembly has the thirty-one date indicators 3 and at least twice the X function indicators, where X is the number of functions. available.
- X is the number of functions. available.
- the number of positions for the dates and for the functions is forty so as to have a sufficiently large character size.
- the maximum or minimum number of positions is not fixed, it depends on the size of the disks.
- the rotary assembly 2 comprises a rotary support 2a in the form of a disk. This disc can be full or annular.
- the function indicators 4 are divided into two groups 10, 11 each arranged one behind the other. We thus successively find the dates (1 to 31), the first group 10 of functions (A, B, C) and then the second group 11 of functions (A, B, C). Thus, if we magnify the function B of the first group 10, we can recover on the function B of the second group 11.
- This configuration advantageously makes it possible to catch up if one magnifies or to be able to take knowledge of all the available functions before making one's choice.
- the indicators 3 are divided into two groups 20,30 and between each group of indicators 3 is inserted a group 10,11 of indicators 4 of functions.

- This first embodiment makes it possible to reduce the time between the two groups of function indicators 10, 11 since only one half-turn of the disk is necessary to go from one function group to another.
- an electric motor to rotate the rotary support disk 2a, it is possible to have a faster rotation to move from the group of function indicators ABC to the group 11. ABC function indicators and thus reduce the waiting time.
- the function indicators 4 are grouped by function (two by two in the example) and are positioned after the indicators 3
- a group 40 has thus been constituted with twice the function A
- a group 50 with twice the function B and a group 60 with twice the function C.
- we arrive too quickly on the first function A we find the second function A at the next position. The user does not need to scan all functions to be able to select a function previously missed.
- At least one function indicator 4 is interposed between two time indicators 3. It is possible to have an indicator 3 interposed between two function indicators 4 or two indicators 3 interposed between two function indicators 4.
- the following sequence is defined as a calendar 10 followed by a function A followed by a date 11 followed by a function A followed by a date 12 followed by a function B followed by a date number 13 followed by a function B.
- Another possibility is to place between two calendars, twice the same function or only once.
- the rotary assembly 2 comprises a plurality of rotary supports 2a in the form of a disc. This disc can be full or annular. Each rotary support 2a is driven unidirectionally by a motor.
- the dates 3 are inscribed on a first rotary support 2b which has a light or opening 6a which can coincide with the window 6 of the dial 5 and the function indicators 4 are listed several times on a second rotary support 2c.

Description
L'invention se rapporte à une montre comprenant un dispositif d'affichage multifonctions.The invention relates to a watch comprising a multifunction display device.
Une montre affiche à l'aide d'aiguilles sur un cadran fixe portant des repères temporels l'heure, les minutes et les secondes. Elle peut également afficher les quantièmes du mois ainsi que les mois et/ ou les jours de la semaine au moyen d'un disque portant lui aussi des indicateurs temporels défilant derrière un guichet.A watch displays with the help of hands on a fixed dial bearing time marks the hours, minutes and seconds. It can also display the calendar of the month as well as the months and / or days of the week by means of a disc also bearing time indicators scrolling behind a window.
Pour procéder à un réglage du quantième, on active un bouton de réglage, typiquement une couronne, qui vient actionner la rotation du disque et on fait défiler les repères jusqu'à atteindre celui recherché. En règle générale, la rotation n'est possible que dans un sens. Les moyens sont donc mono-directionnels mais il existe des systèmes bidirectionnels qui sont bien entendu plus compliqués.To make a date adjustment, activate an adjustment button, typically a crown, which actuates the rotation of the disc and scrolls the markers until the desired one. As a general rule, rotation is only possible in one direction. The means are therefore mono-directional but there are bidirectional systems that are of course more complicated.
Suivant le même schéma, le disque peut porter les repères temporels mais également des repères correspondant à des fonctions type chronographe CHRONO ou alarme ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.Following the same diagram, the disc can carry the time markers but also marks corresponding to chronograph type functions CHRONO or alarm ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.
Par exemple, la demande
Lorsque l'on veut choisir une fonction, on actionne une commande qui permet de mettre en rotation le disque et de venir présenter la fonction derrière le guichet pour ensuite valider la dite fonction.When one wants to choose a function, it activates a command that allows to rotate the disk and come to present the function behind the window to then validate said function.
Comme pour les quantièmes, les moyens de commandes sont souvent mono-directionnels et par conséquent si, lors de la rotation, on loupe la fonction, il est nécessaire de faire faire au disque quasiment un tour. Cette opération prend entre 30 à 60 secondes pour faire une rotation sur 360°.As for the dates, the control means are often mono-directional and therefore if, during the rotation, it magnifies the function, it is necessary to make the disk almost a turn. This operation takes 30 to 60 seconds to rotate 360 °.
Si en règle générale, le choix du quantième ne se reproduit pas souvent, le choix de la fonction est plus courant et ce délai de 30 à 60 secondes d'attente si on loupe la position ou si on désire faire un balayage des fonctions disponibles avant sélection s'avère rapidement fastidieux.If, as a general rule, the choice of the date is not repeated often, the choice of the function is more common and this delay of 30 to 60 seconds of waiting if one magnifies the position or if one wishes to make a scan of the available functions before selection is quickly tedious.
Un des buts de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif d'affichage multifonctions qui pallie les inconvénients susmentionnés c'est-à-dire en fournissant un dispositif d'affichage multifonctions offrant une utilisation rapide en cas de fausse manipulation.One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional display device that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks, that is to say by providing a multifunctional display device for rapid use in case of mishandling.
A cet effet l'invention se rapporte à une montre selon les revendications 1 ou 2.For this purpose the invention relates to a watch according to
Dans un premier mode de réalisation avantageux, l'ensemble rotatif comprend un support rotatif, des indicateurs de quantièmes et des indicateurs de fonctions étant disposés sur sa périphérie.In a first advantageous embodiment, the rotary assembly comprises a rotary support, date indicators and function indicators being disposed on its periphery.

Dans un troisième mode de réalisation avantageux, les indicateurs de fonction sont répartis en au moins deux groupes disposés chacun l'un derrière l'autre.In a third advantageous embodiment, the function indicators are divided into at least two groups each arranged one behind the other.
Dans un mode de réalisation non couvert par les revendications, les indicateurs temporels sont scindés en deux groupes et entre chaque groupe d'indicateurs temporels est inséré un groupe d'indicateurs de fonctions.In an embodiment not covered by the claims, the time indicators are split into two groups and between each group of time indicators is inserted a group of function indicators.
Les buts, avantages et caractéristiques du dispositif d'affichage multifonctions selon la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description détaillée suivante d'au moins une forme de réalisation de l'invention donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif et illustrée par les dessins annexés sur lesquels :

En se reportant aux dessins des
Ce mouvement d'horlogerie est préférentiellement un mouvement électronique comprenant un circuit de commande (non représenté), dans lequel l'ensemble rotatif 2 est entrainé par un moteur indépendant du type pas à pas ou piézoélectrique. L'utilisation de tel moteur est avantageuse car ils peuvent avoir une vitesse de rotation importante.This watch movement is preferably an electronic movement comprising a control circuit (not shown), in which the
En plus de ces indicateurs temporels, le support rotatif présente des indicateurs 4 de fonctions comme par exemple CHRONO, ALARM ON, ALARM OFF etc.In addition to these time indicators, the rotary support has
La montre fonctionne de la manière suivante. L'affichage du quantième étant actif, lorsqu'on souhaite la fonction CHRONO, on commence par actionner une commande de réglage qui permet de faire tourner l'ensemble 2 rotatif et amener la fonction, par exemple CHRONO devant le guichet, on actionne alors une commande et la fonction CHRONO est validée.The watch works in the following way. The display of the calendar being active, when the CHRONO function is desired, it is first possible to actuate a setting control which makes it possible to turn the
La
Pour éviter cette perte de temps, les indicateurs 4 de fonctions figurent au moins deux fois en sorte que l'ensemble rotatif présente les trente et un indicateurs 3 des quantièmes et au moins deux fois les X indicateurs de fonctions, X étant le nombre de fonctions disponibles. Dans un exemple non limitatif, le nombre de positions pour les quantièmes et pour les fonctions est de quarante de sorte à avoir une taille de caractère suffisamment grande. Ainsi, comme il y a trente et une positions pour les quantièmes, il est possible d'avoir trois fonctions indiquées à double. Si deux fonctions seulement sont envisagées, elles peuvent être indiquées trois voire quatre fois voir plus. Toutefois, le nombre de positions maximal ou minimal n'est pas fixe, cela dépend de la taille des disques.To avoid this loss of time, the
Dans un premier mode de réalisation, l'ensemble rotatif 2 comprend un support rotatif 2a se présentant sous la forme d'un disque. Ce disque peut être plein ou annulaire.In a first embodiment, the
Dans une réalisation de ce premier mode de réalisation visible à la
Cette configuration permet avantageusement de se rattraper si on se loupe ou de pouvoir prendre connaissance de toutes les fonctions disponibles avant de faire son choix.This configuration advantageously makes it possible to catch up if one magnifies or to be able to take knowledge of all the available functions before making one's choice.
Selon une première variante visible à la
Cette première variante de réalisation permet de diminuer le temps entre les deux groups d'indicateurs de fonction 10,11 puisque seul un demi-tour du disque est nécessaire pour passer d'un groupe de fonction à un autre. De plus, avec l'utilisation d'un moteur électrique pour faire tourner le disque faisant office de support rotatif 2a, il est possible d'avoir une rotation plus rapide pour passer du groupe 10 d'indicateurs de fonction ABC au groupe 11 d'indicateurs de fonctions ABC et ainsi diminuer le temps d'attente.This first embodiment makes it possible to reduce the time between the two groups of
Selon une seconde variante de réalisation
Selon une troisième variante de réalisation, au moins un indicateur de fonction 4 est intercalé entre deux indicateurs temporels 3. Il est possible d'avoir un indicateur 3 intercalé entre deux indicateurs de fonction 4 ou deux indicateurs 3 intercalés entre deux indicateurs de fonction 4.According to a third variant embodiment, at least one
Par exemple, on constitue la séquence suivante quantième 10 suivi de fonction A suivi de quantième 11 suivi de fonction A suivi de quantième 12 suivi de fonction B suivi de quantième 13 suivi de fonction B.For example, the following sequence is defined as a
Cette configuration est possible par la possibilité part la configuration. En effet, pour passer d'un indicateur de fonction 4 à un autre, il faut en théorie passer par un indicateur 3. Avec un moteur entrainant le support rotatif 2a capable de tourner à vitesse élevée, il est envisageable que le mouvement électronique soit programmé pour que le passage d'un indicateurs de fonction 4 à un autre se fasse à une vitesse permettant à l'indicateur 3 intercalé entre ces deux indicateurs de fonction 4 d'être invisible par l'utilisateur. On comprend alors que le pas de rotation du disque à effectuer pour placer l'indicateur 3 devant le guichet est effectué à une vitesse importante de sorte que l'utilisateur ne le perçoit pas.This configuration is possible by the possibility of the configuration. In fact, to switch from one
Une autre possibilité est de placer entre deux quantièmes, deux fois la même fonction ou une seule fois.Another possibility is to place between two calendars, twice the same function or only once.
Dans un seconde mode de réalisation qui apparait sur la
Les quantièmes 3 sont inscrits sur un premier support rotatif 2b qui présente une lumière ou ouverture 6a pouvant coïncider avec le guichet 6 du cadran 5 et les indicateurs de fonctions 4 sont listés plusieurs fois sur un second support rotatif 2c. Le premier support rotatif 2b et le second support rotatif 2c sont superposés et disposés coaxialement. Ils peuvent entrer en rotation de façon indépendante.The
Des moyens de commande sont constitués pour lors du passage de recherche d'une fonction, le support 2b des indicateurs 3 soit mis en rotation de sorte à amener la lumière 6a devant le guichet 6. Une fois la lumière 6a devant le guichet 6, le second support rotatif 2c devient visible par l'utilisateur. Celui-ci peut alors agir sur les moyens de commande pour faire défiler le second support rotatif 2c sous la lumière 6a et sélectionner la fonction désirée.Control means are constituted during the search passage of a function, the
Dans une variante du second mode de réalisation visible à la
En temps normal, la lumière du premier support rotatif 2b se trouve en face du guichet du cadran de sorte à voir les indications temporelles sur le second support.Normally, the light of the first
Lorsque une fonction doit être sélectionnée et après avoir agi sur les moyens de commande appropriés, le premier support rotatif 2b se met en rotation de sorte à placer une indication de fonction devant le guichet du cadran. On agencera ce premier support rotatif 2b de sorte que son premier pas lors de sa rotation permette à la première fonction d'être visible.When a function is to be selected and after having acted on the appropriate control means, the first
Lors que la fonction est sélectionnée ou que le mouvement d'horlogerie comprennent le dispositif d'affichage repasse dans un mode normal dans lequel l'heure courante est affichée, le premier support rotatif 2b se déplace pour que sa lumière 6a se place en regard du guichet 6 du cadran 5.When the function is selected or the watch movement comprises the display device returns to a normal mode in which the current time is displayed, the first
La répartition des fonctions sur ce support rotatif peut être du type A,B,C,A,B,C les groupes de fonctions se suivant ou A,A,B,B,C,C, les indicateurs de fonction étant groupés par fonction. De plus, comme le second support rotatif est exclusivement dédié aux fonctions, il est possible d'avoir un nombre de fonctions plus important ou des indicateurs plus lisibles.The distribution of the functions on this rotary support can be of the type A, B, C, A, B, C the groups of functions following or A, A, B, B, C, C, the indicators of function being grouped by function . Moreover, since the second rotary support is exclusively dedicated to functions, it is possible to have a larger number of functions or more readable indicators.
On comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations et/ou combinaisons évidentes pour l'homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux différents modes de réalisation de l'invention exposée ci-dessus sans sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications annexées.It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements and / or combinations obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention set out above without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
Toutefois, un mouvement mécanique pourra être utilisé dans lequel l'ensemble rotatif 2 est entrainer par un ensemble comprenant une source d'énergie, des rouages et un système balancier-échappement donnant également l'heure courante.However, a mechanical movement may be used in which the
Par ailleurs, l'ensemble rotatif 2 peut être entrainé par un élément moteur bidirectionnel, l'avantage de la présente invention étant qu'il n'y a pas besoin pour l'utilisateur de changer son action.Moreover, the
