Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for actuating a crown in a timepiece, as well as to the method of actuating a crown in a timepiece using such a device. More specifically, the present invention is particularly adapted to be used in combination with a wristwatch with a mechanical movement or an electronic movement or with a pocket watch.
  • the crown or more precisely the winding crown, is a button of very varied shapes, which usually protrudes from the watch case and which can be grasped between the thumb and forefinger of a user to wind the watch and / or to set the time and the setting of the calendar indication (date).
  • Some crowns may also include movable pushers to enslave the chronograph mechanism.
  • the crown To set the time of the watch, the crown must generally be grasped by the fingers and then pulled outward (in the radial direction of the watch). However, this operation can sometimes be difficult, especially when the crown is of a small size and / or when the user of the watch have the nails too long or too short. Also, the potential difficulty of use makes that "more york-garde" forms of the crown are never implemented in practice.
  • the present invention aims to propose a new device for actuating a crown in a timepiece and the corresponding actuation method that make it possible to actuate any crown in timepieces in a simple and practical manner, while also having an attractive aesthetic appearance.
  • the present invention relates to a device for actuating a crown in a timepiece according to independent claim 1, and a corresponding actuating method according to independent claim 9.
  • a device for actuating a crown in a timepiece according to independent claim 1 and a corresponding actuating method according to independent claim 9.
  • a device for actuating a crown in a timepiece comprising a box, which comprises a first and a second gripping element arranged so as to be able to exert a force on the crown in the radial direction outwardly of the box to put the crown in the time setting position of the timepiece.
  • these first and second gripping elements of the device according to the present invention are arranged so as to also exert a force on the ring in the radial direction towards the inside of the box in order to return the crown to its initial position.
  • the actuating device With such an actuating device, it is possible to actuate the crown of a timepiece in a simple and practical manner.
  • the actuating device according to the present invention therefore makes the use of the crowns in the mechanical or electronic timepieces easier, further adding a decorative aspect to the timepiece.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a box 2 of a timepiece 1, specifically a wristwatch.
  • the present invention can of course be used with other types and models of watches, for example also with a pocket watch.
  • the box 2 also comprises fastening elements 3 (only one of which is visible at the Figure 1 ) for their attachment to a bracelet that allows the watch 1 to be worn on the wrist.
  • the box 2 comprises an opening 4 for housing a clockwork movement (which is not shown in FIG. Figure 1 for the sake of simplicity), and a ring 5 connected to a winding stem 6 (shown only schematically).
  • FIG. 1 Also visible at Figure 1 is the device 7 for actuating the ring 5 according to the present invention in a state of rest. Its structure and operation are described in more detail with reference to the following figures.
  • Figure 2 represents box 2 of the Figure 1 in a view from above.
  • the elements that are repeated in the different Figures always bear the same reference numbers so that a detailed explanation will not be given for the new elements.
  • the actuating device 7 of the ring 5 comprises a first gripping element 8 and a second gripping element 9. These two gripping elements 8, 9 are arranged to be pivotable about a first pivot axis 8 'and around a second pivot axis 9 ', respectively. These first 8 'and second 9' pivot axes of the first 8 and second gripping element are positioned on the sides of the box 2 of the timepiece 1.
  • first 8 and second 9 gripping elements are pivoted about their respective pivot axes 8 ', 9' in the direction of bringing them closer to the box 2, the gripping elements 8, 9 exert a force on the upper part of the ring 5 in the radial direction towards the inside of the box 2. In this way, the ring 5 can be returned to its initial position (represented in FIG. Figure 2 ).
  • the actuating device 7 comprises in particular an actuating element 10 which is arranged so that its movement causes the movement of the first 8 and second 9 gripping elements.
  • the actuating element 10 is indeed a lever which is itself arranged to be pivotable about a third pivot axis 10 'fixed to the first 8 and / or second 9 gripping elements.
  • Figures 3 and 4 represent the actuating device 7 when this actuating element 10 is actuated.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the position of the actuating device 7 according to the present invention when the ring gear 5 has been brought into the position of the setting time 7. It is visible that the actuating element 10 has been pushed far enough to perform a rotation about 135 ° from its original position.
  • this is just an exemplary value and it is obvious that this value can vary according to the exact arrangement of the elements of the device 7 and / or according to the construction of the watch 1.
  • the device 7 can be made of different materials, eg of a metal and / or the material used for the manufacture of the box 2. It can also be provided with ornaments.
