Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for fixing a movement to a watch case.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for fixing a movement to a housing alternative to the known solutions and requiring no screws, flanges or casing rings.
- a method for fixing a watch movement to a watch case a device for fastening the peripheral movement being brought into abutment on an axial bearing surface of the case, characterized in that it includes a step of thermoforming tenons secured to the housing so as to locally deform the end of each post and form a rivet having an axial retaining surface vertically retaining the peripheral fastening member of the movement against the axial bearing surface of the housing.
- a device for fixing a watch movement to a watch case comprising a peripheral fastening element of the movement positioned in abutment on an axial bearing surface of the case.
- the device is characterized in that it comprises thermoformed tenons integral with the housing, having a mushroom shape at their end having an axial retaining surface acting as a rivet for holding the peripheral fastening element of the movement against the bearing surface. axial of the housing ..
- the middle part being characterized in that it comprises at least 6 thermoformable fastening lugs having a diameter of between 1 and 2 millimeters to form fixing rivets adapted for the weight of a movement, and the movement corresponding to a preferred embodiment in which the peripheral fastening element consists of a collar provided with a plurality of orifices, or in a plurality of ears, the holes of the ears or the collar being provided for the insertion of the tenons.
- thermoforming operation of the tenons for the final fixation of the movement can be performed very quickly without requiring tedious handling, which increases productivity.
- the movement can be assembled on the dial side, which avoids a reversal operation as for a conventional mounting by the bottom of the housing.
- Another advantage of the proposed solution is that it is compatible with a large number of types of movements, since it requires no adaptation of the frame, but only an adjustment of peripheral fixing parts. It is compatible in particular with movements both provided and not provided with net.
- Figure 1 illustrates a top view of a movement assembled in a housing according to a preferred embodiment of the invention
- Figure 2 illustrates a sectional view along the axis A-A of the movement and the housing according to the preferred embodiment of the invention of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 illustrates a detailed view of the attachment of the movement to the middle part according to the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 2;
- Figure 4 shows a sectional view along the axis C-C corresponding to the axis 3 hours - 9 hours of the watch of a complete watch comprising a movement assembled to the housing according to the preferred embodiment of Figure 1;
- Figure 5 shows a top view of a movement assembled in a housing according to an alternative embodiment of the invention
- Figure 6 shows a sectional view of an alternative method of attachment for movement in a caseband according to an alternative embodiment of the invention
- Figure 7 shows a sectional view of an alternative method of attachment for movement in a caseband, using tenons arranged on removable parts.
- FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate various views of a preferred embodiment for the device for assembling movement 3 in a housing 1 according to the present invention, as well as FIG. showing an integral watch using this assembly device.
- the movement 3 there is no thread for its attachment, but comprises, as a fastening element, a collar 32 at its periphery.
- This flange 32 comprises a plurality of orifices 321 - ten in total as shown in FIG. 1 - intended to receive tenons 2.
- This preferred number of tenons 2 is provided to receive the plate of a movement 3 having a mass of up to at 20 grams when made of plastic.
- Other parameters relating to the behavior of the movement such as in particular their diameter and the surface of the axial retaining surface 21 that they confer are discussed later with the aid of FIG.
- the flange 32 used as a peripheral fastening element of the movement 3 is preferably made of material with the remainder of the movement 3, which makes it possible to manufacture the whole directly by molding, without the need for an assembly operation. additional dedication for this fastener.
- the orifices 321 can be obtained directly without requiring a specific drilling operation.
- the arrangement of the pins 2 directly on the middle part 10 makes it possible to save an additional assembly or machining step of these fastening elements of the housing.
- both the movement 3 and the middle part 10 are preferably made of plastic material, whose deformation properties are appropriate for the thermoforming operation, and in order to allow a simple molding operation in particular by injection for their manufacturing. Nevertheless, it will also be possible to use fasteners peripherals, such as the flange 32, made of a different material such as metal, ceramic, or even wood.
- thermoforming of the end is provided to perform a function similar to that of a riveting, that is to say without necessarily securing the axial retaining surface 21 formed on the end of the post 2 of the axial bearing surface 1 1.
- a heat sealing operation which, depending on the materials used for the middle 1 and the posts 2, does not necessarily imply their mutual attachment to their contact surfaces.
- FIG. 1 movement 3 is shown on the dial side, while the latter is not yet assembled on its upper face (FIG. 4 described in detail later illustrates a sectional view of a watch integrally assembled with the dial. 7 affixed to the movement 3 and the elements closing the housing 1 such as the bottom 14 and the ice 9).
- a ring of the dates 37 can be distinguished inside the flange 32, as well as two series of 5 fastening lugs distributed on either side of a diameter on which parallel polarizers 13 are arranged.
- the polarizers 13 are male elements also arranged directly on the middle part 1 0.
- the movement 3 is thus introduced by the dial side by threading the tenons 2 in the orifices of the flange 32, and parallel the polarizers 1 3 in corresponding female elements, preferably arranged on the periphery of the movement 3, as here on the flange 32 .
- FIG. 2 illustrates a sectional view along the axis AA represented in FIG. 1, of two diametrically opposed posts 2 after assembly. movement in the housing 1, that is to say after the thermoforming operation.
- the housing 1 is shown here without its bottom 14 - visible in Figure 4 - that is to say only through the middle part 10, on a prominent portion 1 00 of which are arranged the tenons 2.
- This mode embodiment is advantageous because it allows to free space between the bottom of the movement 3 and the bottom of the housing 14 to accommodate other parts, such as for example an oscillating mass 36 as shown in Figure 4, while it is not possible to superpose parts at the upper face of the movement 3 where is usually only positioned the dial and no visual impediment for reading the time is possible.
- Figure 2 shows the pins 2 while they have already been deformed by the thermoforming operation and thus allow to retain the flange 32 vertically along the axis ZZ of the barrel 30 of the needles of the watch; the detail of the assembly part surrounded by the circle B is represented by FIG. 3.
- the ring of the dates visible in FIG. 1 can always be distinguished, while it can be seen that the outer side wall 33 of the movement, and a portion of the inner side wall 1 2 of the housing 1, against which the outer side wall 33 is in contact or not.
- FIG. 3 shows the detail of the attachment of the movement to the casing 1 according to the preferred embodiment of FIG. 2, with the flange 32 resting on the axial bearing surface 1 1 of the middle part 10, arranged here on a part
- the tenon 2, engaged in the orifice 321 of the collar 32, is deformed by the thermoforming operation and has a mushroom shape 20 at its upper end, which makes it possible to provide a protrusion 1 00 inside the middle 1 0.
- the fungus 20 thus formed thus acts as a rivet for the peripheral portion of the attachment of the movement that forms here, the flange 32.
- the fungus 20 thus formed thus acts as a rivet for the peripheral portion of the attachment of the movement that forms here, the flange 32.
- the difference between the diameter of the orifice 321 of the flange 32 and the diameter post 2 is however preferably chosen to be less than 0.2 mm, so as not to reduce too much the contact surface between the lower face of the mushroom 20 and the axial bearing surface 21.
- the ratio between the radius of the post 2 and that of the mushroom 20 is approximately equal to 1 .5, and that the thickness of the mushroom 20 is substantially equal to the radius of the post 2.
- the embodiment The preferred embodiment of FIG. 1 uses such a mushroom shape 21 for a post 2 having a diameter of preferably between 1 and 2 mm, which makes it possible to withstand a movement 3 having a mass greater than 10 grams with a greater number of plastic posts. equal to 6. Thanks to the hyperbolic decrease of the stresses exerted on each tenon 2 according to their number, it will also be possible, for the sake of economy, to limit the number of tenons 2 as being at most equal to 1 5. to limit as much as possible the number of tenons 2, it is also possible to play on the material which constitutes them in choosing a more rigid than the plastic usually used in watch frames.
- FIG. 4 shows a view of an integral watch using the method and the assembly device described in FIGS. 1 to 3 above, along the cutting axis CC illustrated in FIG. 1 corresponding to the axis 3h-9h which does not cross the studs 2 thermoformed contrary to the cutting axis of Figures 2 and 3.
- the flange 32 attachment which takes the form, in this angle, an annular shoulder, coming to rest on the surface 1 on the axial surface arranged on the upper surface of the protruding portion 1 00 internal of the middle part 10.
- the peripheral portion 72 of the dial is clamped by the lens 9, surmounted by a bezel 91, and which is assembled at a bearing 15 of the caseband 10, for example for example by means of ultrasonic welding.
- the middle 10 is traversed by a rod 6 conventionally comprising a ring 61 at its distal end to be easily manipulated by the user.
- the housing 1 is closed by a bottom 14 above which is housed an oscillating mass 36 coupled to the movement 3 for its automatic winding, and whose lateral flanges 361 go up to the lower level of the prominent portion 100 of the middle part 10 .
- the device and the proposed method of attachment thus apply to any type of watch, whether quartz or totally mechanical.
- FIG. figure 5 shows a top view similar to Figure 1 of a watch which we see more clearly the mushroom shape 20 acting as a rivet at their end and the shape of the ears 31 at most just fit the shape of the post 2.
- the ears 31 are in this cases simply intended to have a central fixing hole in which the pins 2 must be introduced before the thermoforming operation, as well as lower and upper bearing surfaces for their axial retention along the vertical axis corresponding to that of the barrel 30 needles.
- the locking of the rotational degree of freedom is preferably always achieved by means of polarizers 13. It is possible otherwise to distinguish in this FIG. 5, in addition to the ring of calendars 37, on the periphery of the movement 3, the gripping ring 61 at 3 o'clock on the casing 1.
- FIG. 6 illustrates another alternative embodiment for the method and the device for fixing a movement, according to which the movement 3 again comprises a thread 34, unlike those of the preferential embodiment which were not there, and a retaining ring 4.
- the thread of the movement 34 which is used as a fixing element, the bottom surface 341 of the thread then being brought into abutment against an axial bearing surface 1 1 of the middle part 10, then the retaining ring 4, comprising a plurality of holes 41, is threaded on the pins 2 preferably of material with the middle 1 0.
- thermoforming operation of the pins 2 form fungi 20 above the retaining ring 4 and the axial retaining surface 21 thus generated allows to press the retaining ring 4 against an upper surface 342 of the thread 34 of the movement, which in turn remains tight against the axial bearing surface 1 1 of the middle part 10.
- the advantage of this alternative variant is that it allows to use a traditional movement 3 with net 34; the disadvantage is that it requires the use of an additional piece - the retaining ring 4 - so that the elements of fixation are no longer directly integrated respectively to the housing 1 and the movement 3.
- FIG. 7 illustrates another alternative embodiment for the invention concerning the pins 2, which are arranged on plugs 5 provided with ridges 51 designed to facilitate their driving in holes in the casing 1, preferably in the middle part 10.
- a such modular arrangement plugs dissociates the selected material for the middle 10 of such selected for the tenons; it would thus be possible for example to choose plastic plugs 5 while the middle part 10 would be metal.
- this variant of removable posts 2 is compatible with all the other embodiments previously described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
