Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of timepieces and, more particularly, a device for fixing a timepiece dial.
  • a circular mount fixed on the movement, comprises on its periphery recesses for receiving in force the corresponding parts of the dial.
  • the forceful mounting of the dial ensures that it can not move, even under the effect of shocks.
  • the movement of the watch comprises several holes formed at its periphery, the holes being intended to cooperate with feet secured to the dial.
  • Such a device also involves complex machining operations, the movement to be drilled and the feet of the dial to be made of a piece with the dial.
  • the present invention is intended in particular to overcome the various disadvantages of known devices of the prior art.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device for fixing the dial on the movement which is simple to implement and which ensures a good maintenance of the dial.
  • the invention also aims to provide a device for fixing the dial on the movement that is robust and inexpensive.
  • a watch delimited by a box formed of a bottom and a middle part, a movement being arranged in a casing ring housed in the watch case, the watch also comprising a dial disposed on the top of the casing ring and held by means of a fixing ring.
  • the fixing ring has a cross-section in the shape of an "S", an upper branch of the "S” resting on the dial and a lower branch of the "S” resting on the circle of The lower branch of the "S” is pinched between the middle and the casing ring, so as to enclose the dial between the upper branch of the "S” and the casing ring.
  • the invention also relates to a watch comprising a transparent or semi-transparent dial.
  • the watch case shown in figure 1 is delimited by a bottom 2 fixed by any appropriate means on a caseband 4.
  • a clockwork movement 6 is disposed in a casing ring 8 housed in the watch case 1.
  • the watch movement 6 comprises a flange 10 which bears on an inner peripheral shoulder 12 of the casing circle 8.
  • the watch also comprises a dial 14 disposed on the top of the casing ring 8 and held by means of a fixing ring 16 as described in more detail below.
  • the watch case 1 is closed at the top by an ice-cream 18 fixed to the caseband 4 with the interposition of a seal 20.
  • a through hole 22 pierced through the casing ring 8 is intended to receive (see FIG. figure 2 ) a rod 24 of a time setting ring 26, which simultaneously ensures the axial and radial positioning of the clockwork movement 6 inside the casing ring 8.
  • the casing ring 8 is surmounted by a peripheral rim 28 on which the dial 14 bears.
  • the fastening ring 16 made in one piece for example of metal, has a cross-section in the form of an "S" formed of an upper branch 16a and a lower branch 16c interconnected by an intermediate branch 16b .
  • the upper branch 16a of the fastening ring 16 bears on all or part of the periphery of the dial 14, while the lower branch 16c of the fastening ring 16 bears on the casing ring 8.
  • the casing ring 8 comprises in its median part an outer peripheral shoulder 30 on which the lower branch 16c of the fixing ring 16 bears.
  • the intermediate branch 16b of the fixing ring 16 matches the respective edges of the casing ring 8 and the dial 14, which allows the dial 14 to be centered with respect to the casing ring 8.
  • the internal diameter of the casing The fixing ring 16 is made with a slight clearance with respect to the outside diameter of the casing ring 8, so that the fixing ring 16 can fit on the casing ring 8.
  • the caseband 4 internally comprises a surface 32 complementary to the outer peripheral shoulder 30 of the casing ring 8, the lower branch 16c of the fixing ring 16 being clamped between the shoulder external device 30 of the casing circle 8 and the complementary surface 32 of the middle part 4 during assembly of the watch.
  • the upper branch 16a of the fixing ring 16 plates the dial 14 against the peripheral rim 28 of the casing ring 8, ensuring the perfect maintenance of the dial 14.
  • the height of the intermediate branch 16b of the fixing ring 16 is slightly less than the sum of the thicknesses of the dial 14 and the peripheral rim 28 of the casing ring 8.
  • the caseband 4 internally comprises a peripheral groove 34 which forms a clearance in which is housed with clearance the upper branch 16a of the fastening ring 16 and which is delimited by an outer edge 36 bearing on the dial 14.
  • the width of the peripheral groove 34 is slightly greater than that of the upper branch 16a of the fastening ring 16 so as to facilitate assembly.
  • the outer edge 36 of the peripheral groove 34 is as thin as possible so as to maximize the visible surface of the dial 14.
  • Two complementary circular grooves 38a and 38b are formed respectively at the base of the middle part 4 and the casing circle 8.
  • the combination of the two circular grooves 38a and 38b forms a groove in which is placed a seal 40.
  • the seal 40 is compressed and deformed and exerts on the casing ring 8 a vertical thrust directed upwards. Under the effect of this thrust, the outer peripheral shoulder 30 of the casing ring 8 presses the lower leg 16c of the fixing ring 16 against the complementary surface 32 of the caseband 4. Under the effect of this nipping, branch upper 16a of the fixing ring 16 plates the dial 14 against the peripheral rim 28 of the casing ring 8.
  • the clockwork movement 6 is introduced from above into the casing ring 8, after which the dial 14 and the fixing ring 16 are placed on the top of the circle. 8.
  • the resulting assembly is then slid from the bottom 2 into the interior volume of the watch case 1. Finally, the bottom 2 is fixed on the middle part 4 of the watch.
  • Such an assembly thus ensures a fixing of the dial 14 in a simple and effective manner without having to use dial feet.
  • Such an assembly is particularly interesting for watches with a transparent or semi-transparent dial.
  • this assembly can also be used with watches having an opaque dial.
  • the watch case 1 comprises means for radial positioning of the dial 14 relative to the casing ring 8.
  • These positioning means may comprise, for example, a guide pin 42 positioned on the casing ring 8 and a notch 42 arranged in the dial 14, the guide pin 40 being intended to penetrate the notch 44 so as to ensure the angular positioning of the dial 14.
  • any other positioning means known to those skilled in the art may be suitable for the positioning of the dial 14.
  • the casing ring 8 is provided at regular distance intervals along its base of elastic blades which exert on it an elastic restoring force. vertical upward. Under the effect of this force, the casing ring 8 clamps the lower branch 16c of the fastening ring 16 against the caseband 4. Another method of fixing still the casing ring 8 is to screw it on the bottom 2 of the watch case 1.
