Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control device of a timepiece comprising a pusher having a head fixed to a shaft slidably mounted in a tube adapted to pass through the middle part of the timepiece and a spring tending to push the head towards outside, inactive position.
- the subject of the invention is such a pusher that can be locked in its inactive position. This is particularly important for timepieces with large pushers that can protrude from the timepiece of the watch over several millimeters. Indeed, for these timepieces particularly prominent timepieces, it happens that this or these buttons are activated or actuated involuntarily by movement of the wearer of the timepiece for example by bumping against a piece of furniture.
- An object of the present invention is to avoid inadvertent actuation of the pushers of a timepiece by locking these pushers in their inactive positions so that the user must proceed to an unlocking maneuver before the push button can operate to activate a function of the timepiece.
- the documents WO2007 / 113723A2 and CH 697706B1 describe locking devices of a pusher in an inactive position comprising a cage or locking ring screwing onto the head of the pusher whose end of the skirt protrudes beyond the portion of the pusher close to the watch case in the locked position and comes abut against the watch case thus prohibiting the actuation of the pusher.
- This cage or locking ring complicates and increases the pusher while making it more bulky.
- the document EP 1853977B1 discloses a lockable pusher having, between the tube passing through the middle of a watch case and the pusher head, a compression ring screwed onto the tube and allowing, once screwed, to compress a compression seal to increase the seal of the box. In this screwed position, this ring also locks the pusher head in the inactive position. This compression ring is also an additional piece.
- the document CH 675809A3 discloses a pusher having a ring fixed to the watch case around the pusher tube and having two slots of different lengths opening on the free face of the ring. These slots cooperate with a fin that includes the head of the pusher. According to the angular position of the pusher head, its fin slides in one or other of these slots, one of them limiting the axial stroke of the pusher so that it can not activate the function it ordered.
- an additional piece is necessary and in addition, to move from a locked position to an unlocked position of the pusher, it is necessary to pull the head towards the outside of the watch and then turn it to pass the fin of the head of the watch. one slot to the other of the crown.
- the present invention aims to achieve a lockable push in its inactive position with a small number of parts and designed so that the locking or unlocking maneuver is easy to perform.
- the invention relates to a lockable pusher comprising a tube and a screw passing through the tube and guided by this tube screwed into a head and a spring disposed between the tube and the head tending to move them away from each other , characterized in that the head comprises at least one guide member cooperating with a longitudinal groove of the tube and with a locking groove of the tube forming an angle ⁇ with the axis of the longitudinal groove.
- the figure 1 illustrates in plan a wristwatch equipped with the pusher according to the invention.
- the figure 1 schematically illustrates a wristwatch equipped with an auxiliary mechanism such as a second spindle, a calendar, a chronograph, etc. can be operated or corrected with a pusher from outside the watch case.
- an auxiliary mechanism such as a second spindle, a calendar, a chronograph, etc.
- the pusher can equip any wall through which a mechanism must be operable.
- the wristwatch watch case comprises a caseband 1 and encloses a clockwork movement comprising an auxiliary mechanism controlled by a rocker 2 whose one end 3 is arranged to be actuated by a pushbutton 4 from outside the middle part 1.
- the pusher comprises a machined tube 5 comprising a flange 5a and an external thread 5b forming the inner end of the machined tube 5.
- This end of the machined tube 5 has a recess 5c coaxial with the machined tube 5.
- the outer part of the machined tube 5, located on the other side of its flange 5a comprises a housing 5d of diameter greater than or equal to the diameter of the recess 5c opening on the outer face of the machined tube 5 and connected by a bore 5e to this recess 5c.
- the outer portion of the machined tube 5 has three longitudinal grooves 5f formed in its outer cylindrical surface and opening on its upper face.
- the outer cylindrical surface of the outer portion of the machined tube 5 further comprises three locking grooves 5g inclined at an angle ⁇ with respect to the axis of the longitudinal grooves 5f each opening into one of the longitudinal grooves 5f.
- These locking grooves 5g are inclined in the direction of the flange 5a and have at their end remote from the longitudinal groove 5f in which they open, an axial extension 5h forming a detent.
- the width and the depth of the longitudinal grooves 5f and the locking grooves 5g are equal.
- the longitudinal grooves 5f are uniformly distributed around the upper end of the machined tube and are therefore angularly offset by 120 °.
- the pusher further comprises a head 6 provided with a cylindrical skirt 6a having three bores 6b shifted by 120 ° relative to each other.
- Pins 6c are housed in these holes 6b and held in place by a ring 6d set on the skirt 6a of the head 6.
- the ring 6d has a circular groove 6 opening on its periphery near its free end.
- the head 6 of the pusher is slidably mounted on the machined tube 5, the end of the pins 6c sliding in the longitudinal grooves 5f of the machined tube 5.
- a screw 7 is screwed into the head 6 and extends through the machined tube 5, guided by its bore 5e and has a terminal portion 7a of larger diameter terminated by a hex 7b.
- a spring 8 is housed around the screw 7 in the head 6 of the pusher and in the housing 5d of the machined tube 5 bearing against the bottom of this housing 5d by two seals and a washer. This spring 8 tends to move the head 6 away from the outside of the machined tube 5 to a position where the large diameter portion 7a of the screw 7 abuts against the bottom of the recess 5c of the machined tube 5.
- the pusher 4 thus formed is screwed into a tapping made in the middle part 1 of the watch case corresponding to the thread 5b of the machined tube 5, the collar of the machined tube coming to bear against the outer face of the middle part 1.
- the head 6 of the pusher is located outside the watch case while the hexagon 7b of the screw 7 of the pusher is located in the locked position of the pusher ( figures 3,4 ) in the immediate vicinity, about 0.2mm, of the end 3 of the rocker 2 for controlling a mechanism housed in the watch case.
- the pins 6c of the head 6 of the pusher are housed in the detent 5h locking grooves 5g of the machined tube 5 and held in this position by the spring 8.
- the hex 7b of the screw 7 is located at a short distance from the end 3 of the control lever 2, distance of the order of a few tenths, 0.1 to 0.3 mm for example.
- this head 6 and the screw 7 will move towards the inside of the watch case is the end 3 of the control lever 2 over a distance corresponding to the length of the axial extension 5h which is preferably less than the distance between the hex 7b of the end 3 of the rocker 2 when the pusher is in the locked position. In this way, the stroke of the head 6 and the screw 7 is stopped before the screw comes into contact with the end 3 of the control lever.
- any axial displacement of the head 6 which is not deliberately associated with a rotation of the head 6 can not cause the actuation of the mechanism to be controlled by the pusher. This avoids any untimely control of this mechanism.
- the user To actuate the mechanism to be controlled by the pusher, the user must from the locked position of the pusher ( figures 3,4 ) axially moving the head 6 to an intermediate position where the pins 6c can engage, by a rotation of the head 6 ( figures 6.7 ) in the locking grooves 5g. Then, the user turns the head 6 so as to move the pins 6c in the locking grooves 5g until these pins 6c are engaged in the corresponding longitudinal grooves 5f ( Figures 8.9 ).
- the pins may be replaced by balls or other guide element adapted to cooperate with the longitudinal grooves and the locking grooves of the machined tube 5.
- the number of pins or these Guide members and corresponding grooves could be different from three, for example two or five, or at least one.
- the middle part 1 is provided with a cylindrical cover 9 in which the ring 6d slides during axial displacements of the head 6.
- the height of this cover 9 is such that when the pusher is in the locked position ( figures 3,4 ), the circular groove 6e of the ring 6d is invisible, while it is visible when the pusher is in the unlocked position ( Figures 10.11 ). This allows the user to see immediately in which position is the pusher. To make it more visible, the circular groove can be colored. In a variant, the ring 6d may not have a circular groove but simply a marker or a colored line.
- the lockable pusher comprises a bayonet type locking device consisting of longitudinal grooves 5f, locking grooves 5g and pins 6c which force the user to communicate to the head 6 of the pusher a combined movement of rotation and axial displacement to move from its locked position to its active control position so as to avoid inadvertent actuation of the mechanism controlled by the pusher.
- Such a lockable pusher can equip something other than a watch case, it can be screwed on any kind of box or wall serving as support for the pusher.
- the pins are either in the detents or in the longitudinal grooves but positioned so that they already protrude beyond the entrance into the locking grooves so that a rotation of the head automatically causes the axial stroke necessary for the pins to pass through the locking grooves.
- the construction of the pusher head could be different in practice, the ring 6d can be removed and the pin 6c can be secured differently on the skirt 6a of the head 6 or even come from a workpiece with that -this.
- the cover 9 is obviously optional as well as the circular groove 6e.
- the lockable pusher according to the invention is simple, requires only a minimum of parts and is easy to maneuver.
