Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a crimping system for a timepiece or jewelery in which a gemstone is mounted to give a visual effect of vibration of the stone.
  • the present invention also relates to a watch face and a timepiece or jewelery including such a crimping system.
  • a jewelery item has diamonds being illuminated with an illumination source.
  • a controller controls the illumination source so as to vary the intensity of the light emitted by the source, thus making it possible to better highlight the optical effects of the diamond.
  • it is often undesirable to use electronic devices in timepieces or high-end jewelry.
  • the utility model RU100367U describes a jewelery item comprising a gemstone set in a washer-shaped kitten, this set of stone-kitten is bonded to a base of the article by a cylindrical spring.
  • the vibration of the stone mounted on the spring causes a refraction effect of the light.
  • Fixing the ends of the spring to the kitten and the base is however complicated and delicate.
  • small springs which are required in the case of small stones, they may become deformed when the stone moves relative to its original position, thereby eroding the aesthetics of the piece.
  • the dimensioning of the spring so as to obtain the desired visual effect makes it fragile and the spring can be deformed by the shocks.
  • the patent application WO2012 / 115458 discloses a jewelery article comprising a ring-shaped carrier having a hollow sector in which a kitten is mounted by means of a spiral or conical spring.
  • the ends of the spring are fixed in grooves in the support and in the kitten respectively, and the kitten is oscillated under the effect of external excitations on the support.
  • a pin is mounted through the upper part of the kitten, each end of the pin being housed in the support in a plane parallel to the plane of the spring (the spring being attached to a lower part of the kitten) .
  • the pin is used to prevent the separation of the kitten and the support in case of major shocks.
  • the lower part of the kitten can only vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the pin in the plane of the spring, and the upper part of the kitten remains effectively secured to the support 1.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a crimping system for a timepiece or jewelery free of limitations of the prior art known.
  • Another object of the invention is to obtain a crimping system having a much easier and more reliable mounting of the stone in compared with known systems, and being better adapted to the use of small stones.
  • a crimping system for a timepiece or jewelery article comprising a crimping support, a precious stone mounted in or on the crimping support, and a fixed elastic element.
  • the crimping system further comprises a stop more rigid than the elastic element, the abutment being able to cooperate with the crimping support, so as to limit the amplitude of the axial and / or radial movement of the crimping support when the latter oscillates.
  • the present invention also relates to a dial of a timepiece and a timepiece or jewelery comprising said crimping system.
  • the figures 1 and 2 show a sectional view of a crimping system 1 for a watch or jewelery article 6, according to one embodiment.
  • the crimping system 1 comprises a crimping support 3, or kitten, in which is mounted a gemstone 2, such as a diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald.

  • the crimping system 1 also comprises an elastic element 5 whose first end 13 is fixed to the crimping support 3 and the other end 17 to a timepiece or jewelery article 6.
  • the elastic element 5 connects elastically the crimping support 3 with the stone 2 in the article 6, so that the stone 2 can oscillate or vibrate on the elastic element 5 following a movement of the article 6 (in other words, so that the crimping support, and therefore the stone, can oscillate or vibrate on the elastic element 5 following a movement of the article 6).
  • the end 17 of the elastic element 5 fixed on the article 6 remains fixed while the rest of the elastic element 5 deforms elastically under the effect of the acceleration of the mass of the stone 2 and the crimping support 3.
  • the stiffness of the elastic element 5, the mass of the stone 2 and the crimping support 3, as well as the intensity of the shock are the main factors defining the amplitude of the vibrations (or oscillations) of the stone 2.

  • the spring 5 may also comprise turns in the vicinity of the two ends 13, 17 of the spring 5 and turns in a portion between the two ends 13, 17.
  • the turns in the vicinity of the two ends 13, 17 may have a height much greater than the turns included in the portion of the spring 5 located between the two ends 13, 17.
  • the spring 5 can be made of a metal or a plastic by a laser cutting process or any other suitable method.
  • the first end 13 of the spring 5 comprises an opening 12, or a slit of elasticity, for absorbing radially elastically and / or plastically deformed at least a portion of the driving force of the ankle 30.
