Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device comprising a base and a base and adapted to carry a watch case superstructure comprising a bottom, a middle and a bezel, so as to form a stepped watch case, the base of the device being provided with fasteners provided to secure two ends of a bracelet to the stepped watch case, while maintaining a gap between the bracelet and the watch case superstructure.
  • quartz watches are electronic watches that need electricity to operate. Many quartz watches are equipped with a dial and hands and indicate the time in the manner of a mechanical watch. Other quartz watches have a digital display, that is to say digital. Most watches of the latter type are capable of providing other information in addition to time information. So we talk about them multifunction watches. Recently, multifunctional watches particularly versatile, smartwatches, have appeared. These are real small computers designed to be worn on the wrist. A known disadvantage of these newcomers is related to their particularly high electricity consumption. So much so that these watches can not usually work with simple batteries, but require the use of a rechargeable battery. In addition, they in principle require the user of the watch to regularly charge the battery at close intervals.
  • the sleeve of the shirt must arrive 1 cm above the thumb bone when your arm is along your body, or on the wrist bone when the arm is stretched.
  • the shirt sleeve should cover the wrist joint and reach the base of the thumb, and the cuff should be narrow enough not to slide too far forward on the hand.
  • the wristwatch is undoubtedly the most remarkable jewel among those usually worn by men.
  • the Haute Horlogerie watch has even become the outward sign of social success par excellence.
  • the "white collar" wristwatch is invisible, impeccably hidden by a sleeve of his shirt. We can therefore consider that the clothing uses associated with these two fashion items are not entirely compatible. It would be advantageous to propose a solution to reconcile these seemingly contradictory clothing requirements.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages just mentioned. According to a first aspect of the invention, this accomplishes its purpose by providing a device for carrying a watch case superstructure, which comprises a base and a pedestal, and which is in accordance with the appended claim 3. According to a second aspect of the invention, this accomplishes its purpose by providing a collection of components comprising a base, a pedestal and a watch case superstructure, according to the appended claim 1.
  • staged watch case or alternatively the expression “staged box of a wristwatch” designates the assembly formed by the assembly of the device comprising the base and the base with the box of shows proper with the bottom, middle and bezel.
  • the term "watch case” (without the addition of the term “staged”), or alternatively one of the terms “superstructure of watch case” or simply “superstructure”, means the watch case. proper that includes the bottom, the middle and the telescope.
  • the device comprising the base and the base is provided for carrying a watch case superstructure, so as to form therewith a stepped watch case.
  • the lower floor of the latter is constituted by the base that carries the fasteners for a bracelet
  • the upper floor is constituted by the superstructure joining the bottom, the middle and the bezel, and between the two
  • the intermediate floor includes the groove and base.
  • the base is worn on the upper face of the base and occupies on this face a area less than half the area of the base.
  • the superstructure is carried by the base, so that the base and the superstructure are kept spaced from each other, the base being interposed between the two.
  • An advantage of the watch case of the invention is that it limits the heat transfer from the watch case to the wearer's arm. Indeed, as the surface of the base is considerably smaller than that of the bottom, the thermal conduction between the superstructure and the base is reduced. In addition, the presence of the empty space between the superstructure and the base allows air to circulate between these two parts, causing some convection cooling of the stepped watch case.
  • the device (or at least the part of the device which comes into contact with the skin of the arm) is made of a hypoallergenic material which, preferably, is also a poor conductor of heat, and in the most favorable case, which in addition an electrical insulator.
  • the base is arranged in off-center position relative to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet. It will be further understood that the base is on the bottom side of the groove formed between the base and the superstructure, the groove thus opening on the opposite side.
  • the groove opens in the opposite direction to that of the hand of the bracelet wearer.
  • a sleeve sleeve of the wearer of the stepped watch case can be slid into the groove so that this last guide the cuff while retaining the latter under the superstructure.
  • the middle part, the bezel and the dial of a wristwatch comprising such a stepped box can be made permanently visible over a shirt sleeve of the wearer of the shows, while simultaneously the base and the bracelet are masked by the shirt sleeve.
  • the device comprising the base and the base according to the invention can be arranged in such a way that the bottom of the groove holds the cuff. at 1 to 1 cm above the thumb bone.
  • the base is off-center with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet, and the bottom of the groove can obviously be too. Under these conditions, when the stepped watch case is worn on the wrist so that the groove opens towards the sleeve shirt, the bottom of the groove is off-center towards the hand. It will be understood that, thanks to the features of the invention, it is the device comprising the base and the base that prevents the cuff from sliding too far forward on the hand.
  • the device comprising a base and a base according to the invention is provided to carry a watch case whose middle is provided with a control ring and / or winding.
  • the crown then has the advantage of not being covered by the shirt of the wearer of the watch. Therefore, it is easy to manipulate the crown without the need to roll up a sleeve or remove the bracelet.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that the device comprising the base and the base can be almost completely hidden by the cuff, so that the invention does not substantially affect the appearance of the watch case.
  • the Figures 1 to 5 illustrate a device according to a first particular embodiment of the invention, and a pocket watch adapted to be mounted on this device.
  • the figure 1 is a plan view of the dial side of the pocket watch. It comprises a watch case of generally round shape and which includes including a bottom 3, a middle 5 and a bezel 7.
  • the pocket watch is provided with a winding crown and / or setting time (referenced 8) .
  • the watch of the figure 1 is adapted to be worn by a device according to the invention.
  • the device (generally referenced 1) comprises a base 15 is a base 17 which rises above the upper face of the base.
  • the base 17 comes from material with the base 15.
  • the base has substantially the shape of a plate with two main faces, the upper main face having a shoulder with place of the base 17. Note also that the base is also visible in transparency from below in the figure 5 (where the base corresponds to the hatched part).
  • the pocket watch of the present example is intended to be fixed on the base 17 so that it is integral with the device 1.
  • the fixing of the watch on the base 17 is made by means of three threaded screws (illustrated quite schematically and referenced 6).
  • the device 1 is pierced with three cylindrical holes 18 which are through. These holes are arranged where the base 17 rises above the base 15.
  • Counterbores (not shown) are preferably also formed in the underside of the base 15, at the mouth of the cylindrical holes 18, to receive the head of the screws 6.
  • the watch meanwhile, has three threaded blind holes (not shown) which are intended to be in line with the cylindrical holes 18 of the device 1.
  • the blind holes are arranged in the middle 5 of way to open down. It will be understood that it is possible to rigidly fix the watch on the device 1 by inserting the three screws 6 through the cylindrical holes 18 and screwing them into the threaded holes which open under the underside of the watch.
  • the screw fixing which has just been described is reversible.
  • the device 1 therefore constitutes a removable support for the watch. It will therefore be understood that the watch of the present example can be worn with or without the device 1.
  • the screws being of very small size, the operations of fixing the watch on the device 1, and separating the watch from the device 1, are preferably executed by a qualified watchmaker.
  • the pocket watch is intended to be rigidly connected to the base 15 by its box.
  • the base 17 is then interposed between the base 15 and the bottom 3 of the watch case.
  • the role of the pedestal 17 is not only to secure the base 15 and the watch case superstructure, but also to keep them at a distance from each other, either parallel to one another. the other, with a slight inclination of one relative to the other.
  • the Figures 2 to 5 show further that the base 17 occupies a position completely off-center with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet (which is shown by a dashed line in the figure 5 ). It will therefore be understood that, in accordance with the invention, the watch case superstructure is held cantilevered above the base.
  • the space between the upper face of the base 15 and the bottom 3 of the watch case forms a groove (referenced 19) which is clearly visible in the figures 2 in particular.
  • these two elements together form a stepped wristwatch box, whose structure comprises a lower stage constituted by the base 15, an upper stage constituted by the superstructure of watch case, and between the two, an intermediate stage comprising the groove 19 and the base 17.
  • the caseband 5 and the base 15 have substantially the same diameter.
  • the base 17 has a rounded outer side whose radius of curvature is substantially the same as that of the middle part 5.
  • this configuration endows the stepped wristwatch box with a cylindrical wall portion that extends over its entire height.
  • this cylindrical wall portion is oriented towards the hand, and is thus exposed to the eye.
  • An advantage of this configuration is that it provides a surface 16 which gives the possibility of affixing to the product a large size marking.
  • the portion of the middle part 5 which is turned towards the hand is usually the one that carries the manual controls for the watch.
  • the presence of the wall portion 16 of cylindrical shape, which extends over the entire height of the stepped wristwatch box and which is turned towards the hand also gives the possibility of having control members of relatively large and easily accessible.
  • the base 15 has two symmetrical notches 21 on two opposite sides.
  • the two notches are of rectangular shape and they are each dimensioned so that the strands 11, 12 of the bracelet can be inserted therein.
  • the ends of the bracelet may for example be attached to the base with a bar held between two horns.
  • two pairs of horns 9 are each constituted by the two opposite edges of one of the notches 21.
  • the horns of a pair have holes arranged in the extension of one another are provided to receive both ends of a bar 20.
  • the two strands of the bracelet are arranged to extend in the extension of one another on either side of the device 1, and that the watch case superstructure and the base 15 are all both substantially centered on the longitudinal axis of the bracelet (indicated by a dashed line in the figure 5 ). It will be understood from the foregoing that the device of the invention has the advantage of being able to be equipped with a conventional watch bracelet without it being necessary to modify it beforehand.
  • the figure 8 is a top view of two variants of the watch of Figures 1 to 5 and 6 ; both watches being shown with a bracelet, and worn, one on the left wrist and the other on the right wrist. It is known that in a conventional manner, a watch is usually worn on the left arm. Worn in this way, most watches have their winding crown and / or time setting oriented towards the hand. If you want to wear such a known watch in the right arm, simply attach it around the right wrist in the inverted position. It will be understood that in this alternative position, the winding crown and / or setting time is oriented in the other direction (towards the elbow).
  • FIGS 9 and 10 illustrate a device which is in accordance with another variant of the first embodiment of the invention and which is worn with a watch in a conventional manner on a left forearm.
  • the watch shown is housed in a round box quite similar to the box of the watch already described in connection with the previous figures.
  • the illustrated watch is an electronic watch with digital display. This watch therefore needs a source of electrical power to operate, and it will be understood that it also releases a certain amount of heat.
  • the base of the device supporting the watch case is held on the top of the wrist by a link bracelet.
  • the figure 9 also makes it possible to distinguish the base 17 which rises above the base and which carries the superstructure of watch case cantilever.
  • a deep groove 19 extends between the base and the watch case superstructure.
  • the figure 9 allows to understand in particular how the device of the invention limits the heat transfer of the superstructure to the arm of the wearer of the watch.
  • the thermal conduction between the superstructure and the base is reduced.
  • the presence of the groove 19 arranged between the superstructure and the base allows the air to flow between these two parts (as indicated by the arrow on the figure 9 ), thus causing an acceleration of the cooling of the watch case.
  • the figure 10 is a perspective view similar to that of the figure 9 but in which the wearer of the staggered wristwatch box also wears a long-sleeved shirt.
  • the bracelet wearer's sleeve cuff is inserted into the groove 19 so that the latter guides the cuff while holding it under the watch. Thanks to this arrangement, the watch case gives the impression of levitating in suspension above the cuff.
  • the caseband 5, the bezel 7 and the dial of a wristwatch worn on a device according to the invention can be made permanently visible over a shirt sleeve of the watch wearer.
  • the sleeve is a thermal insulator that is likely to limit the heat transfer of the superstructure to the arm of the wearer of the watch.
  • FIGS 11, 12 and 13 illustrate a device according to a second particular embodiment of the invention, and a wristwatch box mounted on this device.
  • the device and the watch case have a large number of elements in common with the device and the watch case which have been described above in connection with the Figures 1 to 10 .
  • the elements illustrated in Figures 11 to 13 which are identical or equivalent to elements illustrated in the Figures 1 to 10 are designated by the same numbers that we have added a hundred.
  • the features and elements common to both embodiments will not be described again.
  • the watch case superstructure of the present example is constituted by the case of a wristwatch provided with at least two pairs of horns (respectively referenced 129a, 129b and 131a, 131b).
  • the two pairs of horns are reversible fixing means capable of cooperating with two transverse sleeves 135, 137 which is provided with the base 117 of the device 101.
  • the transverse sleeves 135, 137 are each traversed by a bar 139.
  • each of the sleeves has a length slightly less than the space between the horns 131a and 131b or the horns 129a and 129b.
  • each of the bars 139 are provided to be housed in two housings arranged opposite one another in the two horns of a pair 129a and 129b or 131a and 131b. It will be understood that this arrangement allows the bars 139 to serve as fixing means for the horns of the wristwatch with the transverse sleeves 135, 137.
  • the fixing by bars, sleeves and horns which has just been described is reversible.
  • the bars 139 may for example be spring-bars that can easily be removed from between two horns by exerting a pressure in the direction of the axis of the bar.
  • spring bars or other types of bars these elements are designed so that it is possible to detach or replace them easily.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 illustrate a device according to a third particular embodiment of the invention, and a wristwatch box mounted on this device.
  • Fixing systems with horns and bars are not the only known way to reversibly fix a bracelet to a watch case.
  • the patent document WO2016 / 025347A1 discloses a system for attaching a bracelet to a watch case in which the watch case is provided with two convex transverse grooves, and wherein one end of each strand of the bracelet is intended to be inserted into one of the two grooves.
  • each strand is further provided with an end piece insertable in a groove and having a switchable locking device between a first state in which the strand of the bracelet is fixed rigidly to the watch case and a second state in which the Strand of the bracelet is detached from the watch case.
  • the watch case superstructure of the present example is the case of a wristwatch provided with two fixing grooves (respectively referenced 229 and 231).
  • the base 215 is pierced with a large rectangular opening referenced 240.
  • smartwatches are most often powered by means of rechargeable batteries. Chargers supplied to recharge these batteries are often field-electromagnetic contactless chargers. Under these conditions, it will be understood that the opening 240 arranged in the base 215 is provided to allow the use of a contactless charger, without it being necessary to previously detach the watch from the device 201 of the invention.
  • the box of the illustrated wristwatch is provided with two grooves.
  • the two fixing grooves constitute reversible fixing means able to cooperate with two end pieces 235, 237 which is provided with the base of the device 201.
  • the base is in two parts 217a, 217b disjoint, each of the two parts being provided with one of the end pieces 235, 237.
  • the end pieces each comprise a locking device (not referenced).
  • the two locking devices are switchable between a first state in which the corresponding end piece (235 or 237) is fixed rigidly within one of the grooves (229 or 231) and a second state in which this end piece can be detached from the watch box.
  • the attachment method that has just been described to secure the device 201 with a wristwatch box is of course reversible.
  • An advantage of the third embodiment which has just been described is that the fixing operations of the wristwatch on the device 201, and the separation of the wristwatch from the device 201, are particularly easy to perform by the wearer of the watch itself.
  • Another advantage of the third embodiment which has just been described is that, when a locking device is in the first state, the end piece with which it is associated is fixed rigidly inside one of the grooves. . It will therefore be understood that, in this state, the end piece is not free to pivot as is the case, for example, in the second embodiment using strips.
  • a consequence of this characteristic of the third embodiment is that it guarantees a rigid attachment of each of the two parts 217a, 217b of the base to the wristwatch box, regardless of the presence or absence of the base 215.
  • FIGS 16 and 17 illustrate an alternative variant of the third embodiment in which the base 215 is not constituted by a single piece pierced with an opening, but by two parts 215a and 215b disjointed each carrying one of the two parts 217a, 217b of the base.
  • the rigid attachment of the end pieces 235, 237 in the grooves 229, 231 makes it possible to dispense with a single base piece, and replace it with two small bearing surfaces 215a and 215b.
