Definitions
- the invention relates to a subassembly for dressing for watch, comprising at least one seal between a first piece and a second piece arranged to be screwed to one another by enclosing each said seal for together constitute a sealed structure in a maximum compression sealing position of at least one said seal in an axial direction.
- the invention also relates to a watch comprising such a dressing subassembly.
- the cladding of watches and similar devices obeys many constraints, in particular sealing, robustness, appearance, and must be realized in order to prevent any unintentional disassembly resulting irreparably by an after-sales intervention for exchange of seals, cleaning, lubrication, even repair.
- trim or control must, again, be indexed angularly relative to each other, for reference positions of reference of origin, rest, or actuation, or to facilitate the reading of indications or graduations, or to ensure the continuity of left surfaces and / or decorations.
- This angular indexing is often difficult to achieve, in combination with a good tightening of parts and with a perfect sealing of the joints.
- the document CH665522G in the name of MONTAVON describes a rotating bezel rotatably mounted around a cylindrical bearing of a fixed bezel forming part of the middle part of the box.
- This rotating bezel has an axial bearing by which it is held axially on the fixed bezel by an axial annular bearing surface of this fixed bezel; it is provided with sawtooth teeth cooperating with ratchets coming from a workpiece with a fixed ring, so as to allow the unidirectional rotation of the bezel, and to maintain this rotating bezel in the manually placed position.
- the teeth of the rotating bezel is a radial toothing formed directly in the rotating bezel, and the ratchets of the ratchet ring work radially.
- the document CH703400A2 in the name of CARTIER describes a watch case comprising a middle part, a bezel pivoting on the middle part, a retaining member for axially retaining, in the direction of the top of the box, the bezel on the middle part, and indexing means for defining stable angular positions of the bezel on the middle part.
- the bezel, the retaining member and the indexing means are arranged so that, in normal operation, when it is turned by the user, the bezel carries with it in rotation the retaining member, while being restrained axially by the latter.
- the bezel, the retaining member and the indexing means are also arranged to define unstable angular positions of the telescope on the middle part such that, only when the telescope is stopped on one of these unstable angular positions, the telescope can, by a sequence of an axial movement towards the bottom of the box and a rotary movement, be displaced with respect to the retaining member until it is brought into a position where it can be released axially from the retaining member, and thus removed from the middle part.
- the invention proposes to achieve a tight and secure assembly of trim parts with an easy to adjust angular indexing and a small increment to adjust the position accurately.
- the invention relates to a watch dressing subassembly according to claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a watch comprising such a dressing subassembly.
- the invention proposes to achieve a tight and secure assembly of trim parts with an easy to adjust angular indexing and a small increment to adjust the relative angular position accurately.
- the figures illustrate the nonlimiting example of the angular indexing of a bottom with respect to a middle watch.
- the invention relates to a dressing subassembly 100 for a watch, comprising at least one seal 9 between a first piece 1 and a second piece 2, which are arranged to be assembled, in particular screwed, one on the other by enclosing each seal 9 to form together a sealed structure in a maximum compression sealing position of at least one seal 9 in an axial direction D.
- part or an elementary component, or a compound grouping several elements or elementary components, or a subset.
- the first part 1 and the second part 2 can not be brought closer to one another, the sealing position corresponding to the maximum compression of a seal 9 compatible with its physical properties .
- the first part 1 carries, directly or indirectly, a first inclined toothing 11, which is arranged to cooperate with a second inclined toothing 21 which bears, directly or indirectly, the second part 2.
- first piece 1, and / or the second piece 2, and / or a second ring 5 interposed between the first piece 1 and the second piece 2 comprises at least one elastically deformable zone under the action of a relative rotation, around the axial direction D, the first piece 1 relative to the second piece 2.
- This relative rotation is imposed by an external force to the dressing subassembly 100, in particular by a torque applied to one of the first 1 and second 2 rooms in relation to each other.
- the deformation range of this at least one elastically deformable zone is dimensioned to allow its compression, during the action of such an external force, with a sufficient stroke to allow the crossing of the tops of teeth during the relative rotation of a toothing relative to the other.
- This range of deformation still allows its elastic relaxation, during the release of external force, to allow the complete return co-operation of the tops of teeth 110, 210, of one of the teeth with the tooth recesses 220, 120, of the other teeth in a new relative angular position.
- the application of an external force allows the crossing of at least one pitch of those of the teeth whose pitch is the smallest.
- the pitch of the first toothing 11 is identical to the pitch of the second toothing 21, but it could also be multiple or submultiple integer.
- Each jump of such a step corresponds to a crossing of the tooth vertex. Thanks to the elastic relaxation after the jump, the new position reached is stable.
- the inclined teeth 11 and 21 each comprise, as shown in the figures, an alternation of long ramps 118, 218, and steep faces 119, 219.
- This arrangement makes it possible to ensure a non-return mechanism, opposing an accidental disconnection of the first part 1 and the second part 2, whose relative rotation is possible, to perform a relative angular adjustment, in a first sense provided they apply a force, especially a torque, greater than the resistant force constituted by the combination of the elastic return force and the tooth angle of the elastically deformable zone, but of which the rotation in the opposite direction requires the application of a much greater force, particularly in the case of steep faces 119, 219, which are straight as in the non-limiting variant illustrated by the figures, or even if less inclined toothed profiles with first ramps 118, 218 of slower slope than ramps in the opposite direction, alternating, descending down hollow teeth.
- the invention is illustrated, in a nonlimiting manner, with only one of these variants, in which the two teeth are each indifferently elastic or rigid, and where a second ring 5 provides the elasticity function for crossing the tops of teeth and elastic relaxation.
- the first part 1 comprises a first spacer 3 bearing the first inclined toothing 11
- the second part 2 comprises a second spacer 4 carrying the second inclined toothing 21.
- this first part 1 comprises a first spacer 3, and comprises a first thread 15, which is arranged to cooperate with a first complementary tapping 35 that includes this first spacer 3.
- the first part 1 also comprises a first bearing surface axial stop 16, which is arranged to cooperate in abutment abutment with a first complementary abutment abutment surface 36 that includes the first spacer 3.
- the first part 1 comprises a first spacer 3, and comprises a first ring 6 comprising the first inclined toothing 11, this first spacer 3 comprising first drive means 38 arranged to cooperate with first complementary drive means 68 that includes the first ring 6.
- the first spacer 3 and the first ring 6 form a single piece.
- the second part 2 comprises a second spacer 4, and comprises a second thread 25, which is arranged to cooperate with a second complementary thread 45 that includes the second spacer 4.
- This second part 2 comprises a second axial abutment bearing surface 26, which is arranged to cooperate in abutment abutment with a second complementary axial abutment bearing surface 46 that the second spacer 4 comprises.
- the covering subassembly 100 comprises a second ring 5, which is interposed between the first part 1 and the second part 2, and which comprises at least one elastically deformable zone. More particularly, this second ring 5 is entirely made of an elastically deformable material. This second ring 5 is supported by a contact surface 57 that it comprises, on a complementary contact surface 37 that includes the first spacer 3.
- the operation is particularly simple. It is necessary first to screw the first piece 1 and to block it, and then comes the angular indexing.
- the second spacer 4 is fixed, preferably by screwing as in the illustrated embodiment, to the second part 2.
- the first spacer 3 and the first ring 6 are trapped, sandwiched between the second ring 5 and the second spacer 4.
- the second ring 5 may be silicone or other elastic material, it is compressed between the second part 2 and the first spacer 3.
- the first spacer 3 is held between the second ring 5, the first spacer 3, and the second spacer 4.
- the first ring 6 and the second spacer 4 are respectively provided with the first toothing 11 and the second set of teeth 21.
- the number of teeth determines the positioning accuracy of the orientable element, here the first piece 1, in particular a bottom, if we consider that the second piece 2, especially a middle, is fixed.
- An embodiment with 180 teeth allows a precision of two degrees.
- the first toothing 11 and the second toothing 21 allow, by ratchet effect, because of the elasticity of the second ring 5, the first spacer 3 and the first ring 6 to rotate relative to each other in one sense, the system is unidirectional.
- the first part 1 is screwed into the first spacer 3. Once the first spacer 3 in abutment position on the first part 1, by abutment cooperation of the first complementary axial abutment bearing surface 36 and the first surface axial abutment support 16, the two parts become integral, and the seal 9 is pressed and compressed in its housing 29 of the second part 2 and on the joint bearing surface 19 of the first part.
- the operator continues to apply a torque on the first piece 1 to rotate it, the first piece 1 and the first spacer 3 and the first ring 6, forming a fixed crew, begin to slide on the ratchet ramps of the second spacer 4, which allows axial positioning of the first piece 1.
- first inclined toothing 11 and the second inclined toothing 21 comprise tooth tops defining a first plane P1 and respectively a second plane P2 perpendicular to the axial direction D.
- the parts comprising the teeth are coaxial, and the first inclined toothing 11 and the second inclined toothing 21 comprise tooth tops defining a first cylinder C1 and a second cylinder C2 coaxial and parallel to the axial direction D.
- the first piece 1 is a bottom and the second piece 2 is a middle watch.
- the reverse configuration is also perfectly feasible.
- the first piece 1 is a middle and the second piece 2 is a flange or bezel. This variant is interesting for diving watches with unidirectional bezel.
- the first piece 1 is a middle part or a tube attached to a middle part
- the second part 2 is a crown.
- the invention also relates to a watch 1000 comprising such a dressing subassembly 100.
- the invention allows a precise angular adjustment between two pieces of a watch covering, or a scientific apparatus comparable to a watch by its covering constitution, the precision of angular adjustment being given by the most small pitch inclined teeth that includes the dressing subassembly according to the invention.
- the invention ensures a perfect clamping of the seal between the first and second parts.
- the invention is still opposed to an accidental and unintentional dismantling of the assembly of the two parts, because its design requires the application of a much greater effort to disassemble assembly.

Description
L'invention concerne un sous-ensemble d'habillage pour montre, comportant au moins un joint d'étanchéité entre une première pièce et une deuxième pièce agencées pour être vissées l'une sur l'autre en enfermant chaque dit joint d'étanchéité pour constituer ensemble une structure étanche dans une position d'étanchéité de compression maximale d'au moins un dit joint d'étanchéité selon une direction axiale.The invention relates to a subassembly for dressing for watch, comprising at least one seal between a first piece and a second piece arranged to be screwed to one another by enclosing each said seal for together constitute a sealed structure in a maximum compression sealing position of at least one said seal in an axial direction.
L'invention concerne encore une montre comportant un tel sous-ensemble d'habillage.The invention also relates to a watch comprising such a dressing subassembly.
L'habillage des montres et appareils similaires obéit à de nombreuses contraintes, en particulier d'étanchéité, de robustesse, d'aspect, et doit être réalisé de façon à prévenir tout démontage involontaire se traduisant irrémédiablement par une intervention d'après-vente pour échange de joints, nettoyage, lubrification, voire réparation.The cladding of watches and similar devices obeys many constraints, in particular sealing, robustness, appearance, and must be realized in order to prevent any unintentional disassembly resulting irreparably by an after-sales intervention for exchange of seals, cleaning, lubrication, even repair.
Certaines pièces d'habillage ou de commande doivent, encore, être indexées angulairement les unes par rapport aux autres, pour des repérages de position de référence d'origine, de repos, ou d'actionnement, ou encore pour faciliter la lecture d'indications ou de graduations, ou pour assurer la continuité de surfaces gauches et/ou de décors. Cet indexage angulaire est souvent délicat à bien réaliser, en combinaison avec un bon serrage des pièces et avec une étanchéité parfaite des joints.Certain parts of trim or control must, again, be indexed angularly relative to each other, for reference positions of reference of origin, rest, or actuation, or to facilitate the reading of indications or graduations, or to ensure the continuity of left surfaces and / or decorations. This angular indexing is often difficult to achieve, in combination with a good tightening of parts and with a perfect sealing of the joints.

L'invention se propose de réaliser un assemblage étanche et sécurisé de pièces d'habillage avec un indexage angulaire facile à régler et un petit incrément pour ajuster la position angulaire relative de façon précise.The invention proposes to achieve a tight and secure assembly of trim parts with an easy to adjust angular indexing and a small increment to adjust the relative angular position accurately.
Les figures illustrent l'exemple non limitatif de l'indexage angulaire d'un fond par rapport à une carrure de montre.The figures illustrate the nonlimiting example of the angular indexing of a bottom with respect to a middle watch.
Ainsi l'invention concerne un sous-ensemble d'habillage 100 pour montre, comportant au moins un joint d'étanchéité 9 entre une première pièce 1 et une deuxième pièce 2, lesquelles sont agencées pour être assemblées, notamment vissées, l'une sur l'autre en enfermant chaque joint d'étanchéité 9 pour constituer ensemble une structure étanche dans une position d'étanchéité de compression maximale d'au moins un joint d'étanchéité 9 selon une direction axiale D.Thus, the invention relates to a
On entend ici par « pièce » ou bien un composant élémentaire, ou bien un composé regroupant plusieurs éléments ou composants élémentaires, ou encore un sous-ensemble.Here is meant by "part" or an elementary component, or a compound grouping several elements or elementary components, or a subset.
Dans cette position d'étanchéité, la première pièce 1 et la deuxième pièce 2 ne peuvent pas être rapprochées davantage l'une de l'autre, la position d'étanchéité correspondant à la compression maximale d'un joint 9 compatible avec ses propriétés physiques.In this sealing position, the first part 1 and the
Selon l'invention, la première pièce 1 porte, directement ou indirectement, une première denture inclinée 11, qui est agencée pour coopérer avec une deuxième denture inclinée 21 antagoniste que porte, directement ou indirectement, la deuxième pièce 2.According to the invention, the first part 1 carries, directly or indirectly, a first
Et la première pièce 1, et/ou la deuxième pièce 2, et/ou une deuxième bague 5 interposée entre la première pièce 1 et la deuxième pièce 2, comporte au moins une zone déformable élastiquement sous l'action d'une rotation relative, autour de la direction axiale D, de la première pièce 1 par rapport à la deuxième pièce 2. Cette rotation relative est imposée par un effort externe au sous-ensemble d'habillage 100, notamment par un couple appliqué à l'une des première 1 et deuxième 2 pièces par rapport à l'autre. La plage de déformation de cette au moins une zone déformable élastiquement est dimensionnée pour autoriser sa compression, lors de l'action d'un tel effort externe, avec une course suffisante pour permettre le franchissement des sommets de dents lors de la rotation relative d'une denture par rapport à l'autre. Cette plage de déformation permet encore sa détente élastique, lors du relâchement d'effort externe, pour permettre le retour en coopération complète des sommets de dents 110, 210, d'une des dentures avec les creux de dents 220, 120, de l'autre denture dans une nouvelle position angulaire relative.And the first piece 1, and / or the
En somme l'application d'un effort externe, notamment d'un couple, permet le franchissement d'au moins un pas de celles des dentures dont le pas est le plus petit. De façon particulière, le pas de la première denture 11 est identique au pas de la deuxième denture 21, mais il pourrait aussi en être multiple ou sous-multiple entier. Chaque saut d'un tel pas correspond à un franchissement de sommet de dent. Grâce à la détente élastique après le saut, la nouvelle position atteinte est stable.In short, the application of an external force, especially a torque, allows the crossing of at least one pitch of those of the teeth whose pitch is the smallest. In particular, the pitch of the
De préférence, les dentures inclinées 11 et 21 comportent chacune, tel qu'illustré sur les figures, une alternance de longues rampes 118, 218, et de faces abruptes 119, 219.Preferably, the
Cette disposition permet d'assurer un anti-retour du mécanisme, s'opposant à une désolidarisation accidentelle de la première pièce 1 et de la deuxième pièce 2, dont la rotation relative est possible, pour effectuer un réglage angulaire relatif, dans un premier sens à condition de leur appliquer un effort, notamment un couple, supérieur à l'effort résistant constitué par la combinaison de l'effort de rappel élastique et de l'angle de denture de la zone déformable élastiquement, mais dont la rotation dans le sens opposé nécessite l'application d'un effort beaucoup plus important, en particulier dans le cas de faces abruptes 119, 219, qui sont droites comme sur la variante non limitative illustrée par les figures, ou même si on choisit des profils de dentures inclinées moins heurtées avec des premières rampes 118, 218 de pente plus faible que des rampes de sens contraire, en alternance, redescendant en creux de dents.This arrangement makes it possible to ensure a non-return mechanism, opposing an accidental disconnection of the first part 1 and the
Différentes variantes de mise en oeuvre sont donc possibles, notamment :
- deux dentures antagonistes élastiques, par exemple en matière plastique ou en tôle étampée, de façon similaire à des rondelles éventail ;
- deux dentures élastiques, dont l'une portée par une entretoise élastique ;

L'invention est illustrée, de façon non limitative, avec une seule de ces variantes, dans laquelle les deux dentures sont chacune indifféremment élastique ou rigide, et où une deuxième bague 5 assure la fonction d'élasticité pour le franchissement des sommets de dents et la détente élastique.The invention is illustrated, in a nonlimiting manner, with only one of these variants, in which the two teeth are each indifferently elastic or rigid, and where a

Cette deuxième bague 5 est en appui par une surface de contact 57 qu'elle comporte, sur une surface de contact complémentaire 37 que comporte la première entretoise 3.More particularly, the covering

La deuxième bague 5 peut être en silicone ou autre matière élastique, elle est comprimée entre la deuxième pièce 2 et la première entretoise 3. La première entretoise 3 est maintenue entre la deuxième bague 5, la première entretoise 3, et la deuxième entretoise 4.The
La première bague 6 et la deuxième entretoise 4 sont pourvues respectivement de la première denture 11 et de la deuxième denture 21. Le nombre de dents détermine la précision du positionnement de l'élément orientable, ici la première pièce 1, notamment un fond, si l'on considère que la deuxième pièce 2, notamment une carrure, est fixe. Une réalisation avec 180 dents permet ainsi une précision de deux degrés.The
La première denture 11 et la deuxième denture 21 permettent, par effet de cliquet, en raison de l'élasticité de la deuxième bague 5, à la première entretoise 3 et à la première bague 6 de tourner l'une par rapport à l'autre, dans un seul sens, le système est donc unidirectionnel.The
La première pièce 1 vient se visser dans la première entretoise 3. Une fois la première entretoise 3 en position de butée sur la première pièce 1, par coopération de butée de la première surface complémentaire d'appui de butée axiale 36 et de la première surface d'appui de butée axiale 16, les deux pièces deviennent solidaires, et le joint d'étanchéité 9 est plaqué et comprimé dans son logement 29 de la deuxième pièce 2 et sur la surface d'appui de joint 19 de la première pièce. Les différentes coopérations de butée du mécanisme, entre la première pièce 1 et la première entretoise 3 d'une part, et entre la deuxième pièce 2 et la deuxième entretoise 4 d'autre part, permettent entre autres de garantir un niveau maximal de compression de ce joint d'étanchéité 9.The first part 1 is screwed into the
Si l'opérateur continue à appliquer un couple sur la première pièce 1 pour la faire tourner, la première pièce 1 et la première entretoise 3 et la première bague 6, formant un équipage solidaire, commencent à glisser sur les rampes faisant cliquets de la deuxième entretoise 4, ce qui permet un positionnement axial de la première pièce 1.If the operator continues to apply a torque on the first piece 1 to rotate it, the first piece 1 and the
Pour le démontage, il suffit de dévisser la première pièce 1. Grâce aux dentures de la première bague 6 et de la deuxième entretoise 4, celles-ci viennent se bloquer l'une contre l'autre, et deviennent solidaires de la deuxième pièce 2, et la première pièce 1 peut être dévissée.For disassembly, simply unscrew the first part 1. Thanks to the teeth of the

Dans une autre application, la première pièce 1 est une carrure et la deuxième pièce 2 est un réhaut ou une lunette. Cette variante est intéressante pour des montres de plongée à lunette unidirectionnelle.In another application, the first piece 1 is a middle and the
Dans une autre application encore, la première pièce 1 est une carrure ou un tube rapporté sur une carrure, et la deuxième pièce 2 est une couronne.In yet another application, the first piece 1 is a middle part or a tube attached to a middle part, and the
L'invention concerne encore une montre 1000 comportant un tel sous-ensemble d'habillage 100.The invention also relates to a watch 1000 comprising such a
En somme, l'invention permet un ajustement angulaire précis entre deux pièces d'un habillage de montre, ou encore d'un appareil scientifique assimilable à une montre par sa constitution d'habillage, la précision d'ajustement angulaire étant donnée par le plus petit pas des dentures inclinées que comporte le sous-ensemble d'habillage selon l'invention.In short, the invention allows a precise angular adjustment between two pieces of a watch covering, or a scientific apparatus comparable to a watch by its covering constitution, the precision of angular adjustment being given by the most small pitch inclined teeth that includes the dressing subassembly according to the invention.
L'invention garantit un serrage parfait du joint d'étanchéité entre la première et la deuxième pièces.The invention ensures a perfect clamping of the seal between the first and second parts.
L'invention s'oppose encore, à un démontage accidentel et involontaire de l'assemblage des deux pièces, car sa conception nécessite l'application d'un effort beaucoup plus important au démontage qu'au montage.The invention is still opposed to an accidental and unintentional dismantling of the assembly of the two parts, because its design requires the application of a much greater effort to disassemble assembly.
