Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for fixing a crimping system for fixing a crimping support flexibly on a timepiece or jewelery.
  • the invention also relates to a crimping system comprising such a fixing device.
  • crimping systems make it possible to mount one or more precious stones to a support.
  • the stone is fixedly mounted on the support, it is difficult to see the light reflected through the different facets of the stone since the movements of the stone are very small.
  • Such an arrangement is therefore not optimal when looking for a certain animation effect.
  • crimping systems include spring elements or optical means to produce an animation effect.
  • 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 be excessively deformed when the stone moves from its original position, thereby disturbing the vibration movement of the stone and therefore the aesthetics of the room.
  • the dimensioning of the spring so as to obtain the desired visual effect makes it fragile and the spring can also be irreversibly deformed by shocks.
  • the small thickness of the walls (or turns) of the spring does not allow to drive the spring in a bore, the deformations being too important for a good holding of the spring. Fixing the spring by gluing is also not advantageous since it is difficult to control the amount of glue. Unless enough space is left between the bonding zone and the spring turns, the turns may be bathed in the adhesive due to the effect of capillarity or flow of the adhesive.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device for fixing a crimping system for a timepiece or jewelery free from the limitations of known systems.
  • Another object of the invention is to obtain a device for fixing a crimping system which comprises a helical spring which can be fixed without there being any residual deformation of the ends of the spring and which makes it possible to hold spring when the crimping system vibrates.
  • a device for fixing a crimping system comprising: a crimping support; a helical vertical involute spring extending axially between the crimping support and the article so that the crimping support can be oscillated;
  • the fixation system comprises a distal fixation member arranged to receive, by driving, a distal end of the spring so as to secure the spring to the article; a distal axial groove formed in a distal end of the spring and extending axially, the distal axial groove allowing radially absorbing at least a portion of the biasing force from the distal end to the distal fixation member; a distal radial groove formed in the distal end of the spring and extending peripherally; and a distal lug integral with the distal fixation member, the distal lug being arranged to permit the distal end to be driven on the distal fixation member and to cooperate with the distal radial groove when the distal end is
  • the present invention also relates to a crimping system comprising the fixing device.
  • the figure 1 shows a sectional view of a crimping system 1 is shown in the figure 1 .
  • the crimping system 1 comprises a support of crimping 3, or kitten, in which is mounted a gemstone 2, such as a diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald.
  • a gemstone means at least one gemstone 2, the support 3 being able to support a plurality of precious stones 2.
  • the expression “gemstone” can also include any type of stone, such as fine stones.
  • the crimping support 3 may comprise a portion of frustoconical shape and serving as a seat for the yoke 8 of the stone 2.
  • the crimping system 1 also comprises an elastic element 5, represented in FIG.
  • the crimping system 1 comprises a stop 18 more rigid than the elastic element 5 and arranged to cooperate with the crimping support 3 so as to limit the amplitude of the axial and / or radial movement of the stone 2 when the latter oscillates .
  • the elastic element 5 elastically connects the crimping support 3 with the stone 2 to 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 thus the stone, can oscillate or vibrate on the elastic element 5 following a movement of the article 6).
  • the distal end 17 of the elastic element 5 fixed on the article 6 remains fixed, while the rest of the elastic element 5 is deformed 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 oscillation of the stone 2 is in a radial movement with respect to an axis of symmetry 15 and a axial movement with respect to this same axis 15.
  • the crimping system 1 is intended to create an animation on a timepiece 6 or jewelery, for example on a watch face, on the basis of a vibration of the stone .
  • the crimping system 1 must be configured so that the vibration of the stone is fast but clearly visible.
  • the vibration must also be durable in time and in its environment of use.
  • so as to accommodate the crimping system 1, for example, between the dial and the ice of the watch, on a bezel, a jewel its size must be minimal and the dimensions of the crimping system 1 must be reduced.
  • the vibration of the stone 2, in an axial and / or radial movement with respect to the axis of symmetry 15, will be visible in the case where the oscillation frequency thereof is adapted to the retinal persistence.
  • This oscillation frequency is typically between 1 Hz and 30 Hz.
  • the elastic element comprises a coil-shaped spring 5 (hereinafter "coil spring") of cylindrical section.
  • the spring 5 comprising helically wound turns 10 makes it possible to obtain an elastic element having both a maximum length and a minimum space requirement.
  • the figure 2 shows a side view of spring 5 and the figure 3 shows a detail of one of the ends 13, 17 of the spring 5.
  • the distal fixing member comprises a pin 14.
  • the proximal fastening element is an ankle 30, integral with the crimping support 3 and being housed, at less in part, in the proximal end 13 of the spring 5, so as to fix the pin 30 to the elastic member 5 by clamping.
  • an attachment system of the crimping system 1 comprises a distal fastener 14 arranged to receive, by driving, the distal end 17 of the spring 5 so as to secure the spring 5 to the article 6.
  • the fixation system also includes a distal axial groove 52 formed in the distal end 17 of the spring 5 and extending axially. The distal axial groove 52 makes it possible to absorb radially at least a portion of the driving force of the distal end 17 on the distal fixation element 14.
  • the fixation system also includes a distal radial groove 51 formed in the distal end 17 of the spring 5 and extending peripherally.
  • a distal lug 141 integral with the distal fixation element 14 is configured to allow the distal end 17 to be driven on the distal fixation element 14.
  • the distal lug 141 is also configured to cooperate with the first distal radial groove 51 when the distal end 17 is driven on the distal fixing element 14 so as to axially lock the spring 5.
  • the distal fixation member comprises a pin 14 extending inside the spring 5.
  • the figure 4 shows a detail of the distal end 17 of the spring 5 driven on the pin 14.
  • the fixation system also includes a proximal fixation member 30 arranged to receive, by driving, the proximal end 13 of the spring 5 so as to secure the spring 5 to the crimping support 3.
  • the proximal fixation includes a second proximal axial groove 52 'formed in the proximal end 13 of the spring 5 and extending axially.
  • the proximal axial groove 52 ' makes it possible to radially absorb at least part of the driving force from the proximal end 13 to the proximal fixation element 30.
  • the fixation system also comprises a proximal radial groove 51' made in the proximal end 13 of the spring 5 and extending peripherally.
  • a proximal lug 141 ', integral with the proximal fixation element 30, is configured to allow the proximal end 13 to be driven onto the proximal fixation element 30 and to cooperate with the proximal radial groove 51', when the proximal end 13 is driven onto the proximal fixation element 30 so as to axially lock the spring 5.
  • the distal radial groove 51 and / or the proximal radial groove 51 ' may be made in a first (or last) turn 11 of the spring 5 (see FIG. figure 3 ).
  • the distal end 17 corresponds to a first turn 11
  • the proximal end 13 corresponds to a last turn 11 'of the spring 5.
  • the radial distal 51 and proximal 51 'grooves allow to drive the spring 5 on the pin 14 and the ankle 30, respectively, without there being any residual deformation of the distal 17 and proximal 13 ends of the spring 5.
  • the distal radial grooves 51 and proximal 51 'thus ensure a maintenance of the spring 5 on the pin 14 and the pin 30 and a good alignment of the spring 5 relative to the article 6 and the crimping support 3.
  • the cylindrical spring has a height (distance between the proximal end 13 and the distal end 17) of about 2 to 3 mm, a diameter of about 2 mm and the thickness of the turns 10 is between about 20 ⁇ m and 80 ⁇ m. Preferably, the height is about 1.6 mm.
  • the first turn 11 and the last turn 11 'each have a height of about one tenth of the height of the spring 5.
