  • the invention relates to a covering subassembly 100 for a timepiece, and more particularly for a watch, or for a jewel, comprising a first component 1 comprising flanges 2 projecting from a first skirt 6 alternated with first clearances, and a second component 10 having wings 12 projecting from a second skirt 11 alternated with second clearances 13.
  • the general denomination of "dressing" sub-assembly is used here as well for a timepiece as for a jewel, even if this term is of current use in watchmaking only. It is understood that, in the case of jewelery, this subset may relate to the structure of the jewel, or elements reported on a basic structure, or any assembly of several elementary or pre-assembled components, or the entire jewel.
  • This dressing subassembly 100 is arranged to pass from a first disassembled insertion position to a second assembled and locked position.
  • the first component 1 and the second component 10 In the first disassembled insertion position, the first component 1 and the second component 10 have a first angular orientation relative to each other.

  • the latter tend to be kept at a distance from each other by means of repulsion, which comprise magnetic repulsion means and / or at least one resilient element and / or at least one seal 9.
  • the passage from the first disassembled insertion position to the second assembled and locked position is performed under the following conditions: action of forces exerted by an operator: an axial force to overcome the resisting force of the repulsion means and to put the first component 1 and the second component 10 in contact with one another and a torque to bring them into an angular indexing position .
  • the first component 1 and the second component 10 have relative to each other a second angular orientation different from the first angular orientation.
  • the first component 1 and the second component 10 are held axially against the resisting force exerted by these repulsion means, by the effect of a bayonet adjustment, realized by applying the axial and torque forces printed by the operator, between at least two edges 2 and at least two wings 12.
  • This joining of the first component 1 and the second component 10, by bayonet adjustment, especially around an axial direction D, is reversible, and allows their disassembly.
  • this disassembly requires on the part of an operator efforts similar to those exerted during assembly, this disassembly preferably requires the use of a tool special, cooperating for example with holes or peripheral notches, or the like, and can not be consecutive to clumsiness or exposure to particular external physical factors.
  • this covering subassembly 100 comprises at least a third component 20, which is arranged to be interposed radially, or respectively axially, between the first component 1 and the second component 10 and fixed in rotation relative to one of them, and which comprises at least one zone 50 deformable elastically radially, or respectively axially.
  • This third component 20 is inserted punctually, or at the level of extended surfaces, it can take different forms, including a form of annular sector or ring as in the non-limiting variant illustrated.
  • This deformable zone 50 is arranged to oppose a resisting torque of variable moment to any relative tangential torque between the first component 1 and said second component 10.
  • This deformable zone 50 comprises at least one notch 26, which is arranged to cooperate with at least one complementary relief 18 that comprises that of the components 1, 10, with respect to which the third component 20 is free in rotation. And any passage of such a notch 26 on a complementary relief 18 generates a resisting torque which tends to oppose the relative rotational movement between the first component 1 and the second component 10, at least one such notch 26 being arranged for the relative angular indexing between the first component 1 and the second component 10.
  • the invention relates to a subassembly of dressing 100 for a timepiece or watch, comprising at least one seal 9 between a first component 1 and a second component 10.
  • the first component 1 comprises flanges 2 protruding radially inwardly of a first skirt 6, which are alternated with first clearances 3.
  • the second component 10 has wings 12 protruding radially outwardly of a second skirt 11, which are alternated with second clearances 13.
  • This subassembly dressing 100 is then arranged to move from a disassembled position to an assembled position in compression of the seal 9, by the reversible joining of the first component 1 and the second component 10, by a bayonet fit between at least two flanges 2 and at least two flanges 12, in a relative rotational movement around an axial direction D. If the axial compression of the seal 9 is the most conventional, the invention also makes it easy to assemble with radial compression of such a seal.
  • the dressing subassembly 100 thus comprises at least a third component 20, which is arranged to be inserted radially in the variant illustrated by the figures, between the first component 1 and the second component 10.

  • the relative arrangement of the components of the sub-assembly 100 is such that any passage of such a notch 26 on such a complementary relief 18 generates a resisting torque, which tends to oppose the relative rotational movement between the first component 1 and the second component 10.
  • At least one such notch 26 is arranged for the relative angular indexing between the first component 1 and the second component 10. More particularly the pair formed by a particular notch 26 and a particular complementary relief 18 corresponds to the exercise of a maximum resistive force, and this particular torque corresponds to a preferred position of indexing and locking indexed position.

More particularly, in the same deformable zone 50, the successive notches 26 are arranged to oppose a resistance increasing to a complementary relief 18, during the growth of the relative angle between the first component 1 and the second component 10.
  • the resistant force can be all the more important as the number of notches 26 and complementary reliefs 18 in cooperation is high. It is therefore possible to play on the number of successive notches, and / or on the height of each notch, or, more exactly, the force resistant to the passage of each notch.
  • the user prints a progressive torque to print the relative rotation between the first component 1 and the second component 10.
  • the operator performing the assembly of the subassembly 100 encounters a first resistance when a first notch 26 is brought into cooperation with a first complementary relief 18. The resisting torque progresses during the relative rotation.
  • the first notch 26 and the first complementary relief 18 are unique (or are each replaced by a plurality of such couples, of identical profile and resistance, and arranged at the periphery of the profile so as to interfere with same time: which amounts to a single resulting notch, and a unique relief, this possibility of duplication of profiles in phase is not exposed in more detail, and is applicable to any variant of the invention).
  • the minimum applied axial force necessarily corresponds to the sealing of the seal or seals 9.
  • the first notch 26 and the first complementary relief 18 constitute the housing 6 and the 29 for indexing angular position of the second component 10 relative to the first component 1. For example, three notches at 120 ° cooperate with reliefs also complementary to 120 °, the operator feels a single pass hard point when the three notches at 120 ° act simultaneously.
  • the subassembly 100 comprises a plurality of notches 26 and a plurality of complementary reliefs 18, relatively arranged relative to one another so that, at the beginning of the relative rotation, a single clearance-bossing pair is in cooperation, then, after a certain angle, two release-bossing pairs are in simultaneous cooperation, and so on, the cumulative peak torque peak increasing during each hard point crossing, to reach, at the indexing angle, the value Max.
  • the operator thus encounters a feeling of increasing resistance.
  • the seal exists as soon as the bayonet is set, and the mechanism according to the invention is arranged so that, as in the previous case of a single bump, the sealing of the seal (s) 9 is made safe. ensured from the passage of this first bump, since then no loosening can occur without voluntary action of an operator.
  • the figure 11 illustrates such an example, and superimposes the torque profile obtained with a particular variant of the invention, in full line, corresponding to the passage of three successive hard points, also called bumps, before the immobilization in the indexing position to the angle ⁇ M, with, by way of comparison, the increase in torque in the last degrees of closure of a conventional traditional face of the prior art (which may in particular require an angular amplitude of the order of two turns), in broken lines .
  • the only resistance to rotation are the mechanical friction forces due in particular to the axial forces generated by the compression of a seal at the end of the stroke, and to the elastic deformation of the components present during the definitive mechanical blocking.
  • the angular value ⁇ V corresponding to the maximum screwing with a pair ⁇ V corresponds to the end of a torque growth curve, whose slope becomes extremely steep in the vicinity of this value ⁇ V: which means that a subset screw which is then subjected to a large force may be unscrewed, without any guard to prevent a total unscrewing, or loss of sealing, since the torque required for unscrewing is then decreasing, and the energy to be provided for the looser than in the case of the invention.
  • a same boss cooperates successively with several clearances, which may each be of the same depth in a particular embodiment, then creating a fixed resistance force value, and which must be repeatedly passed for arrive in closed and indexed position. It is still possible to mix these last two variants, everything is possible, the machining to be made is not very complex.
  • the invention requires, during the assembly, the successive crossing, in a kind of ramp, of several bumps of increasing resistance torque, but also the disassembly, since, since the final indexed position ⁇ M, in particular on a mechanical stop (which is however not necessary in the context of the invention), any application of a sudden effort is reflected in the worst case, by crossing a single bump, without total disassembly, with a visual shift, and especially without loss of sealing or risk of pollution of the interior of the watch.
  • the operator must successively cross three thresholds, visible optically because of the offset, before having a leakage loss.
  • each notch is identical, and its passage opposes the same resistant torque.
  • the coefficient multiplier of resistant torque from one notch to the other, can in particular be between 1.2 and 2.2.
  • the invention is advantageous because it is perfectly compatible with horological dimensions, while having a capacity of a high resistance force, which can reach several Nm, for example in the case of a third component of at least partially amorphous metallic material. Even with more common materials for the manufacture of technical rings, POM, polyurethane or similar, and axial and radial dimensions of a few tenths of a millimeter, the resistant torque easily exceeds one N.m.
  • the disassembly of the mechanism according to the invention requires the maintenance of the application of a possible effort of accidental origin during a large angular stroke, from 7 to 8 ° for the crossing of a single bump in the illustrated example, the security still being ensured if several bumps succeed one another, whereas, in screwed solution of the prior art, the dismantling is consumed in an angular stroke of the order of 2 ° only, and therefore the loss of tightness also.
  • the angular indexing can be guaranteed by a limit stop 28 stroke. But, preferably, it is the third component 20 which fills, de facto, the stop function, by the exercise of a particularly high resistant torque. Such a mechanical stop is therefore not absolutely necessary.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to prevent any unexpected and involuntary disassembly of the subassembly 100, for example under the effect of vibrations, of successive expansion cycles, by an unfortunate use of the user, or the like.

  • the flange 12 is contoured so as to be able to gradually deform the ring 24 during its rotation (in the counterclockwise direction for these figures).
  • This flange 12 comprises in particular a ramp 18 which bends the antagonistic surfaces of the ring 24.
  • This ramp is here followed by a clearance 17 which allows the movement of notches projecting 27, 28, which internally comprises the ring 24, which a 27 is substantially parallel to a clearance 25 that includes the ring 24 on its outer face, at such a deformable zone 50, while the other 28 faces a substantially cylindrical bearing surface of the ring 24
  • a hollow 26 separates these projecting notches 27 and 28 on the inner face of the ring 24.
