Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seal for the watch industry, in particular a seal for a screwed crown.
  • gaskets are used between the different parts of the watch case (ice, bezel, middle part, bottom), in the winding and setting crowns and in the push buttons. It is important to protect the watch movement in the box from dust, water or any other liquid.
  • the present invention aims to at least partially overcome these disadvantages and proposes for this purpose a seal for the watch industry comprising an inner surface and an outer surface surrounding a common axis, a first of the inner and outer surfaces comprising first and second lobes surrounding said axis at respective different axial positions, characterized in that a second of the inner and outer surfaces is asymmetrical with respect to the first of the inner and outer surfaces. and comprises, at an axial position between the respective axial positions of the first and second lobes, a third lobe surrounding said axis.
  • the ring is of the screw type, that is to say it comprises a thread that can cooperate with a thread of the tube to allow screwing of the ring on the tube.
  • a seal 1 for the watchmaking has an axis of symmetry A and extends in the direction of the axis A between a first end 2 and a second end 3.
  • the term “axial” will refer to the direction of the axis A and the term “radial” to the directions perpendicular to the axis A.
  • the seal 1 comprises a portion of generally annular shape 4 terminated, at the first end 2, by a shoulder 5.
  • the generally annular portion 4 comprises an inner surface 6 and an outer surface 7.
  • the inner and outer surfaces 6, 7 are asymmetrical with respect to each other.
  • the inner surface 6 defines successively, in the direction from the first end 2 to the second end 3, a first lobe 8, a cylindrical portion 9 and a second lobe 10.
  • lobe is meant a protrusion with a rounded axial section or , more generally, a projection of which at least the end has a rounded axial section.
  • the lobes 8, 10 and the cylindrical portion 9 each surround the axis A.
  • the outer surface 7 defines successively, in the direction from the first end 2 to the second end 3, a cylindrical portion 11, a lobe 12 and a portion frustoconical 13 whose large radius adjoins the lobe 12 and the small radius corresponds to the second end 3.
  • the lobe 12 faces the cylindrical portion 9 while the lobes 8, 10 face respectively the cylindrical portion 11 and the frustoconical portion 13.
  • the axial position of the lobe 12 is located between the respective axial positions of the lobes 8 , And is preferably centered with respect to said respective axial positions, as illustrated.
  • the axial position of each of the lobes 8, 10, 12 is defined as the axial position of its vertex, that is to say of the circular line where the lobe is tangential to a cylinder of axis A .
  • the shoulder 5 defines a flat bearing surface 14 orthogonal to the axis A and a surface 15 opposite to the bearing surface 14. This surface 15 defines a lobe 16 which surrounds the axis A. Unlike the lobes 8 , 10, 12, oriented radially, the lobe 16 is oriented axially.
  • the seal 1 can thus provide a tight seal by being compressed radially in specific areas (lobes 8, 10, 12) and axially compressed in another well-defined area (lobe 16).
  • the lobe 8 is close to the first end 2, more precisely the geometric plane defined by the bearing surface 14 intersects the lobe 8.
  • the seal 1 may have a greater number of lobes than the four lobes 8, 10, 12, 16 described and illustrated.
  • the seal 1 with its generally annular shape portion 4 and its shoulder 5 forms a single piece, typically consisting of an elastomer such as a nitrile.
  • the seal 1 is preferably monolithic (in a single material) typically obtained by molding, but it can also be a composite part (made of several materials) obtained for example by bonding several parts or by a process forming an intimate bond (for example two-component molding) between several parts.
  • a timepiece typically a wristwatch
  • a control device 19 protrudes on one side of the box 17, in a conventional manner per se, to allow the setting at the time and the reassembly of the movement 18.
  • the control device 19 is of the type with screwed crown. It comprises a fixed tube 20, for example screwed or driven, in a hole through the wall of the box 17 and a ring 21.
  • the ring 21 is formed of two coaxial parts, namely a cap 22 and a fixed central sleeve 23, for example, screwed into the bottom of the cap 22.
  • the cap 22 and the sleeve 23 could be in one piece.
  • the sleeve 23 is engaged in the tube 20 in a mobile manner in translation and in rotation and receives a piston 24 and a spring 25.
  • the spring 25 is housed between the bottom of the cap 22 and a shoulder of the piston 24.
  • the piston 24 is coupled to a winding and setting rod 26 of the movement 18.
  • the sleeve 23 is connected to the piston 24 in a manner known per se to be able to move freely in rotation and in translation relative to the piston 24 during the screwing and unscrewing of the ring 21, and to be secured to the piston 24, and therefore to the winding and setting rod 26, in rotation in the unscrewed or pulled position of the ring 21 and in translation between the unscrewed and pulled positions of the ring 21.
  • the seal 1 is placed in a housing formed between the tube 20 and the ring 21. More specifically, the generally annular portion 4 is located in an annular housing 30 defined by the tube 20 and the sleeve 23, and the shoulder 5 rests by its bearing surface 14 on the end of the tube 20, between the tube 20 and the cap 22. At the figure 2 the seal 1 is shown in its undeformed state of repose. In practice it is of course constrained because of the dimensions of the housing 30 smaller than certain dimensions of the seal 1. In particular, the lobes 8, 10, 12, 16 are compressed and define specific areas of sealing. By their radial compression between the tube 20 and the ring 21 the lobes 8, 10, 12 provide a seal in all positions axial axial of the ring 21.
  • the lobe 16 By its axial compression between the tube 20 and the ring 21 the lobe 16 provides a seal only in the screwed position of the ring 21, but this seal is much stronger than that at the lobes 8, 10 12. Indeed, the displacement of the cap 22 which compresses the lobe 16 and the shoulder 5 is in the direction of the thickness of the latter while the displacement of the sleeve 23 which compresses the lobes 8, 10, 12 and the generally annular shape portion 4 is tangential to these.
  • the screwed position of the crown 21 is its normal position when the watch is worn. In this position, the bottom of the cap 22 is preferably in abutment against an abutment surface 31 of the tube 20.
  • the shape of the seal 1 gives it great flexibility and thus improves the seal. Indeed, during assembly, as soon as a lobe 8, 10, 12 is compressed, the material of the seal 1 can leak towards the opposite side to the lobe by filling the empty space that existed between this opposite side and the tube 20 or sleeve 23.
  • the frustoconical portion 13 of the outer surface 7 makes it possible to better adapt the seal 1 to the annular shape of the housing 30. As a variant, however, this frustoconical portion 13 could be replaced by a cylindrical portion.
  • a recess 32 formed on the inner surface of the tube 20 cooperates with the lobe 12 to retain the seal 1 in the housing 30 when the ring 21 is unscrewed and when pulled from its unscrewed position.
  • the generally annular portion 4 of the gasket 1 is placed between the skirt 27 of the cap 22 and the tube 20.
  • the shoulder 5 still rests on the end of the tube 20 but is oriented inwards (towards the axis A) rather than outwards.
  • the threads 28, 29 for screwing the ring 21 onto the tube 20 are located respectively on the inner surface of the tube 20 and the outer surface of the sleeve 23.
  • the inner and outer surfaces 6, 7 of the generally shaped part. annular are reversed, that is to say that the outer surface 7 comprises the lobes 8, 10 and the cylindrical portion 9 and the inner surface 6 comprises the lobe 12, the cylindrical portion 11 and the frustoconical portion 13.
  • the seal 1 according to the invention can be used in other applications than a screwed crown, for example a conventional non-screwed crown or a pusher. In such applications, the shoulder 5 can be removed.
