Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Les contrôles et de réglages de pièces d'horlogerie, notamment des montres, ou des « watch heads », ou des mouvements d'horlogerie mécaniques, nécessitent un grand nombre de manipulations de l'objet, en particulier pour les contrôles chronométriques, où le mécanisme est vérifié dans les différentes positions réglementaires de certification des chronomètres, mais aussi dans des conditions le plus possible proches de celles du porter. Les contrôles et réglages chronométriques sont, très souvent, complétés par d'autres vérifications: étanchéité, sensibilité aux champs magnétiques, aux chocs, à la température, ou autres.The controls and adjustments of timepieces, in particular watches, or "watch heads", or mechanical clockwork movements, require a large number of manipulations of the object, in particular for chronometric checks, where the mechanism is verified in the different regulatory positions of chronometers, but also in conditions as close as possible to those of wearing. Checks and chronometric adjustments are very often supplemented by other checks: tightness, sensitivity to magnetic fields, shocks, temperature, or other.

Il s'agit donc de fiabiliser le déroulement de ces contrôles et vérifications, en préservant le mécanisme objet du contrôle, et en permettant des observations si possible automatisées, éventuellement complétées par des réglages ou encore des marquages, tout en assurant la traçabilité du produit et le lien entre l'objet et les contrôles et réglages effectués.It is thus a question of making reliable the progress of these controls and verifications, preserving the mechanism object of the control, and allowing observations if possible automated, possibly supplemented by adjustments or even markings, while ensuring the traceability of the product and the link between the object and the controls and adjustments made.

La recherche de fiabilité est compatible avec une recherche de productivité, et il s'agit donc d'adapter les fabrications horlogères à des manipulations avec les outils les plus modernes, avec un degré d'automatisation le plus élevé possible.The search for reliability is compatible with a search for productivity, and it is therefore a question of adapting watchmaking fabrications to manipulations with the most modern tools, with the highest degree of automation possible.

Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférésDetailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

L'invention concerne une boîte 1 de conditionnement de pièces d'horlogerie 1000. Par « pièce d'horlogerie on entend ici montre, ou « watch head », ou mouvement d'horlogerie, notamment mécanique, ou composant horloger, ou tout ensemble similaire.The invention relates to a box 1 for packaging timepieces 1000. By "timepiece is meant here watch, or" watch head ", or watch movement, including mechanical, or watch component, or any similar set .

Cette boîte 1 comporte extérieurement, d'une part une base 20 agencée pour renfermer intérieurement au moins un plateau 30 amovible, et d'autre part au moins un couvercle 10, qui est agencé pour coopérer de façon complémentaire avec la base 20 pour la fermeture de la boîte 1.This box 1 comprises externally, firstly a base 20 arranged to internally contain at least one removable plate 30, and secondly at least a lid 10, which is arranged to cooperate in a complementary manner with the base 20 for closing of the box 1.

Chaque plateau 30 comporte au moins un compartiment 2 intérieur pour la réception d'une pièce d'horlogerie 1000. Ce compartiment 2 est délimité par un fond 3, qui fait partie du plateau 30, et une cloison périphérique 5, qui fait partie du plateau 30, et qui peut être amovible dans une variante particulière non illustrée.Each plate 30 comprises at least one interior compartment 2 for receiving a timepiece 1000. This compartment 2 is delimited by a bottom 3, which is part of the plate 30, and a peripheral wall 5, which is part of the plate 30, and which can be removable in a particular variant not shown.

La boîte 1 comporte, au niveau de chaque compartiment 2, au moins un tampon résilient 6 agencé pour être centré dans le compartiment 2, et pour être plaqué sur une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 déposée dans ce compartiment 2, par le couvercle 10 lors de la fermeture de la boîte 1.The box 1 comprises, at the level of each compartment 2, at least one resilient buffer 6 arranged to be centered in the compartment 2, and to be plated on a timepiece 1000 deposited in this compartment 2, by the cover 10 during closing the box 1.

Ce tampon résilient 6 est choisi pour prendre appui directement sur la pièce d'horlogerie 1000 concernée, et est agencé pour se déformer pour en épouser parfaitement la forme et bien l'abloquer. Dans une variante, ce tampon résilient est garni, sur une face de contact, d'un film superficiel.This resilient buffer 6 is chosen to rely directly on the timepiece 1000 concerned, and is arranged to deform to perfectly fit the shape and to abloquer. In a variant, this resilient buffer is lined on a contact face with a superficial film.

De façon avantageuse, ce tampon résilient 6 est choisi dans un matériau procurant une bonne isolation phonique, de façon à permettre un contrôle de marche par microphone d'une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 particulière, sans perturbation des pièces d'horlogerie 1000 voisines. Notamment le tampon résilient 6 a la texture d'une mousse souple.Advantageously, this resilient buffer 6 is chosen from a material providing good sound insulation, so as to allow a microphone control of a particular timepiece 1000 without disturbing the timepieces 1000 neighboring. In particular, the resilient buffer 6 has the texture of a flexible foam.

Un même tampon résilient 6 permet le blocage de différentes pièces d'horlogerie 1000, de toutes tailles, et de toutes les épaisseurs.The same resilient buffer 6 allows the locking of different timepieces 1000, of all sizes, and all thicknesses.

Ce tampon résilient 6 est indispensable à l'invention, il doit donc être échangé dès qu'il présente des signes d'altération, tels que non-retour à son épaisseur initial à vide, cote en épaisseur insuffisante, déchirure, ou autre. A cet effet la mise en oeuvre de la boîte 1 selon l'invention est accompagnée de fréquents contrôles, en cours de cycle, des tampons résilients 6 qu'elle comporte.This resilient buffer 6 is essential to the invention, it must be exchanged as soon as it shows signs of deterioration, such as no return to its initial thickness empty, undersized thickness, tear, or other. For this purpose the implementation of the box 1 according to the invention is accompanied by frequent checks, during the cycle, the resilient buffers 6 that it comprises.

Avantageusement, le couvercle 10 comporte des moyens de maintien 60, qui sont agencés pour maintenir chaque tampon résilient 6 sur le couvercle, au niveau d'un logement supérieur 15, que comporte ce couvercle 10, ces moyens de maintien 60 peuvent venir de fabrication avec le couvercle 10, réalisé par exemple en injection plastique, et avoir une forme de crochet ou similaire assurant une retenue du tampon résilient 6 dans toutes les positions. Ainsi, le contrôle des tampons résilients 6 en cours de cycle est facilité, puisque ce contrôle peut être effectué par un simple contrôle de hauteur, notamment mais non limitativement optique, sur le couvercle 10 muni de tous ses tampons résilients 6.Advantageously, the cover 10 comprises holding means 60, which are arranged to hold each resilient buffer 6 on the cover, at an upper housing 15, which this cover 10 comprises, these holding means 60 can come from manufacturing with the cover 10, made for example by plastic injection, and have a hook shape or the like ensuring a retention of the resilient buffer 6 in all positions. Thus, the control of the resilient buffers 6 during the cycle is facilitated, since this control can be performed by a simple height control, in particular but not limited to optical, on the cover 10 provided with all its resilient pads 6.

Plus particulièrement, le couvercle 10 comporte, au droit de chaque compartiment 2, un logement supérieur 15, qui est agencé pour maintenir avec serrage un tampon résilient 6, et qui peut constituer de tels moyens de maintien 60, ou bien être complété par de tels moyens de maintien 60.More particularly, the lid 10 comprises, in line with each compartment 2, an upper housing 15, which is arranged to hold a resilient pad 6 tightly, and which may constitute such holding means 60, or may be supplemented by such holding means 60.

Selon l'invention, la boîte 1 comporte, au niveau de chaque compartiment 2, au moins un orifice principal 7 de passage, qui est agencé pour autoriser l'accès d'un capteur ou outil à une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 occupant le compartiment 2.According to the invention, the box 1 comprises, at the level of each compartment 2, at least one main orifice 7 of passage, which is arranged to allow access of a sensor or tool to a timepiece 1000 occupying the compartment 2.

Un tel orifice principal 7 de passage peut être ménagé au niveau du couvercle 10, tel que visible pour la réalisation préférée illustrée par les figures, mais aussi au niveau de la base 20.Such a main passage opening 7 may be provided at the cover 10, as visible for the preferred embodiment illustrated by the figures, but also at the level of the base 20.

Et chaque tampon résilient 6 comporte au moins un orifice secondaire 8, qui est agencé pour sa coopération en alignement avec un tel orifice principal 7, et pour autoriser l'accès d'un tel capteur ou outil à la pièce d'horlogerie 1000 occupant le compartiment 2.And each resilient buffer 6 comprises at least one secondary orifice 8, which is arranged for its cooperation in alignment with such a main orifice 7, and to allow access of such a sensor or tool to the timepiece 1000 occupying the compartment 2.

L'invention est illustrée sur les figures avec des tampons résilients 6 supérieurs du côté du couvercle 10, et on comprend qu'une variante de l'invention peut fonctionner avec des tampons résilients inférieurs, du côté du fond 3 du plateau 30, ou encore à la fois avec de tels tampons résilients 6 supérieurs et de tels tampons résilients inférieurs, de part et d'autre de chaque pièce d'horlogerie 1000. En pareil cas, de façon particulière, le plateau 30 peut comporter, au droit de chaque compartiment 2, un logement inférieur agencé pour maintenir avec serrage un tampon résilient 6.The invention is illustrated in the figures with resilient buffers 6 on the side of the lid 10, and it is understood that a variant of the invention can operate with lower resilient buffers, the bottom side 3 of the plate 30, or both with such superior resilient pads 6 and such lower resilient pads, on either side of each timepiece 1000. In such a case, in particular, the tray 30 may comprise, at the right of each compartment 2, a lower housing arranged to hold a resilient pad 6 tightly.

De façon particulière, la base 20 comporte une surface d'appui 21 qui est agencée pour coopérer par appui et/ou pincement avec une surface complémentaire 31 que comporte chaque plateau 30 amovible. Dans la réalisation particulière illustrée par les figures, la surface d'appui 21 est composée par l'ensemble des surfaces latérales d'une nervure médiane 22 que comporte la base 20, tandis que la surface complémentaire 31 est constituée par les surfaces intérieures latérales d'une nervure creuse 33 que comporte le plateau 30. Plus particulièrement, la géométrie de la surface d'appui 21 et celle de la surface complémentaire 31, et les matériaux de la base 20 et du plateau 30, sont choisis pour que la coopération entre la surface d'appui 21 et la surface complémentaire 31 se fasse avec un léger serrage de pincement. Dans une variante particulière illustrée, la base 20 comporte au moins un passage 27 qui est agencé pour autoriser le passage d'au moins un outil d'extraction d'un plateau 30 d'avec la boîte 20, en cas de coincement entre ces derniers.In particular, the base 20 comprises a bearing surface 21 which is arranged to cooperate by pressing and / or pinching with a complementary surface 31 that comprises each removable tray 30. In the particular embodiment illustrated by the figures, the bearing surface 21 is composed of all the lateral surfaces of a median rib 22 that the base 20 comprises, while the complementary surface 31 is constituted by the internal lateral surfaces of the a hollow rib 33 that comprises the plate 30. More particularly, the geometry of the bearing surface 21 and that of the complementary surface 31, and the materials of the base 20 and the plate 30, are chosen so that the cooperation between the bearing surface 21 and the complementary surface 31 is made with a slight clamping clamping. In a particular variant illustrated, the base 20 comprises at least one passage 27 which is arranged to allow the passage of at least one tool extraction of a tray 30 from the box 20, in case of jamming between them.

Plus particulièrement, pour effectuer sa fermeture et la mise sous serrage des tampons résilients 6, la boîte 1 comporte des moyens de fermeture 40, qui sont agencés au niveau de la base 20 et du couvercle 10, pour plaquer le couvercle 10 sur le fond 3 dans un état comprimé de chaque tampon résilient 6. Dans la réalisation particulière illustrée par les figures, les moyens de fermeture 40 comportent au moins un élément de fermeture inférieur 42 solidaire de la base 20, agencé pour coopérer de façon complémentaire avec au moins un élément de fermeture supérieur 41, notamment un clip 401, solidaire du couvercle 10. Dans cet exemple particulier, un élément de fermeture inférieur 42 coopère avec un élément de fermeture supérieur 41 par clipage, ce qui est avantageux pour permettre une manoeuvre facile d'ouverture/fermeture par un manipulateur automatisé.More particularly, to effect its closure and the tightening of the resilient pads 6, the box 1 comprises closure means 40, which are arranged at the base 20 and the cover 10, to press the cover 10 on the bottom 3 in a compressed state of each resilient buffer 6. In the particular embodiment illustrated in the figures, the closure means 40 comprise at least one lower closure element 42 integral with the base 20, arranged to cooperate in a complementary manner with at least one element upper closure 41, in particular a clip 401, integral with the cover 10. In this particular example, a lower closure member 42 cooperates with an upper closure element 41 by clipping, which is advantageous for allowing easy opening / opening operation. closed by an automated manipulator.

Pour permettre sa manipulation de façon automatisée, la boîte 1 comporte, extérieurement, une pluralité d'éléments d'indexage 11 pour la définition de sa position et de son orientation dans l'espace. Ces éléments d'indexage 11 peuvent, tel que visible sur les figures, être ménagés aussi bien au niveau de la base 20 que du couvercle 10, de façon à autoriser la manipulation automatisée, aussi bien de la base 20 seule, du couvercle 10 seul, ou de la boîte 1 assemblée complète. Avantageusement, dans une réalisation en injection plastique de la base 20 et/ou du couvercle 10, ces éléments d'indexage 11 correspondent aux orifices d'injection de la matière. Ces éléments d'indexage 11 peuvent aussi être des usinages, ou encore des éléments rapportés, tels qu'étiquettes, mires, pions, par collage, chassage, vissage, soudage, ou autre.To allow its manipulation in an automated manner, the box 1 has, externally, a plurality of indexing elements 11 for the definition of its position and orientation in space. These indexing elements 11 may, as shown in the figures, be provided both at the base 20 and the cover 10, so as to allow the automated manipulation of both the base 20 and the cover 10 alone. , or box 1 complete assembly. Advantageously, in an embodiment in plastic injection of the base 20 and / or the cover 10, these indexing elements 11 correspond to the injection orifices of the material. These indexing elements 11 may also be machining, or inserts, such as labels, sights, pins, gluing, driving, screwing, welding, or other.

Plus particulièrement, la boîte 1 comporte, extérieurement, une pluralité de moyens de préhension 12, pour son maintien et son déplacement par des moyens de production automatisés. Ces moyens de préhension 12 peuvent être constitués par des nervures, des cavités calibrées, ou similaireMore particularly, the box 1 comprises, externally, a plurality of gripping means 12, for its maintenance and its displacement by automated production means.

Le codage extérieur à la boîte 1 identifie ainsi parfaitement la position du plateau 30 qu'elle renferme. A ce propos, l'invention est illustrée avec un plateau 30 unique, mais on comprend qu'on peut la réaliser avec différentes variantes, notamment des plateaux 30 de longueur ou de largeur inférieure à celle de la base 20, juxtaposées l'une à l'autre.The box 1 advantageously comprises, externally, at least one identification element 13 for its own identification, and / or its positioning in space, and / or for the identification of the products it encloses. More particularly, each identification element 13 has a registration such as barcode or the like. The coding of an identification element 13 is not necessarily optical, the identification element 13 may for example be consisting of an RFID chip or the like. More particularly, the box 1 comprises several identification elements 13, 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, ..., which differ, at least partially, by a different coding area, so as to identify the different faces of the box. 1. Complementarily, more particularly, the base 20 comprises at least a first polarizer 28 and a second polarizer 29, each arranged to cooperate in a complementary manner with a complementary first polarizer 38, respectively a complementary second polarizer 39, that each plate comprises 30, to ensure a unique relative orientation of a plate 30 relative to the box 20. The coding outside the box 1 thus perfectly identifies the position of the plate 30 it contains. In this regard, the invention is illustrated with a single plate 30, but it is understood that it can be realized with different variants, including trays 30 of shorter length or width than that of the base 20, juxtaposed one to the other.

Pour faciliter les assemblages des composants de la boîte 1, la base 20 comporte avantageusement de petits reliefs saillants 260 légèrement pentés, agencés pour repousser légèrement la matière du couvercle 10, et l'écarter, et, ainsi, faciliter son insertion. La dimension de ces reliefs est très petite, par exemple largeur de l'ordre du millimètre, pente de l'ordre du millimètre, longueur de pente de l'ordre de quelques millimètres, pour une boîte 1 apte à contenir 10 composants horlogers ou montres. Ces petits reliefs sont répartis en périphérie, par exemple au niveau des détrompeurs et aux extrémités de boîte. Certains de ces reliefs sont avantageusement constitués par des cônes d'indexage.To facilitate assemblies of the components of the box 1, the base 20 advantageously comprises small projecting protrusions 260 slightly sloping, arranged to slightly push the material of the cover 10, and away, and thus facilitate its insertion. The dimension of these reliefs is very small, for example width of the order of a millimeter, slope of the order of a millimeter, length of slope of the order of a few millimeters, for a box 1 able to contain 10 watch components or watches . These small reliefs are distributed around the periphery, for example at the level of the polarizers and at the ends of the box. Some of these reliefs are advantageously constituted by indexing cones.

Naturellement, les éléments d'identification 13 peuvent aussi comporter des repères purement géométriques d'alignement et/ou de position. Les éléments d'indexage 11 peuvent également être disposés de façon différenciée sur les différentes faces de la boîte 1. Certains de ces usinages 11 peuvent, encore, être obturés pour assurer cette différenciation.Naturally, identification elements 13 may also include purely geometric alignment and / or position marks. The indexing elements 11 may also be arranged in a differentiated manner on the different faces of the box 1. Some of these machining operations 11 may, again, be closed to ensure this differentiation.

De préférence, au moins un élément d'identification 13, et/ou un groupe d'éléments d'indexage 11, définit au moins une orientation de référence par rapport aux moyens de préhension 12.Preferably, at least one identification element 13, and / or a group of indexing elements 11, defines at least one reference orientation with respect to the gripping means 12.

Plus particulièrement, la boîte 1 comporte au moins un orifice de passage 14, notamment de passage de fluide, pour permettre le passage, entre l'extérieur et l'intérieur de la boîte 1, d'un flux de fluide gazeux et/ou liquide, pour une fonction de nettoyage, de mise en température, de test d'étanchéité, ou autre. Cet orifice de passage 14 peut être ménagé au niveau de la base 20 et/ou du couvercle 10. Un tel orifice de passage 14 peut encore, être utilisé pour la lecture d'un identifiant porté sur un plateau 30 enfermé dans la boîte 1, ou encore pour le passage d'un préhenseur mécanique, d'un outil, d'un capteur, ou similaire. Les figures montrent de tels orifices de passage 14 sur les plus petits côtés de la base 20.More particularly, the box 1 comprises at least one through hole 14, in particular fluid passage, to allow the passage, between the outside and the inside of the box 1, a flow of gaseous fluid and / or liquid , for a cleaning function, temperature setting, leak test, or other. This orifice of passage 14 may be provided at the level of the base 20 and / or the cover 10. Such a through hole 14 may also be used for reading an identifier carried on a tray 30 enclosed in the box 1, or for the passage of a mechanical gripper, a tool, a sensor, or the like. The figures show such passage orifices 14 on the smaller sides of the base 20.

La boîte 1 est avantageusement conçue pour un empilage, aussi bien de la boîte 1 complète, que de ses différents composants avec des composants de même type, ce qui permet un gain de place important.The box 1 is advantageously designed for stacking, both the entire box 1, and its various components with components of the same type, which allows significant space savings.

Dans une réalisation particulière telle qu'illustrée par les figures, la base 20 comporte une nervure périphérique basse 25, qui est agencée pour constituer une surface basse d'appui d'un rebord inférieur 35 que comporte une languette périphérique 36 de chaque plateau 30. Un rebord supérieur 32 du même plateau 30 est agencé pour rester en retrait, ou juste à l'affleurement, d'une nervure périphérique haute 26 que comporte la base 20.In a particular embodiment as illustrated by the figures, the base 20 comprises a low peripheral rib 25, which is arranged to constitute a low bearing surface of a lower rim 35 that comprises a peripheral tongue 36 of each plate 30. An upper flange 32 of the same plate 30 is arranged to remain set back, or just outcropping, of a high peripheral rib 26 that includes the base 20.

Plus particulièrement, au moins la nervure périphérique haute 26, ou la nervure périphérique basse 25, est agencée pour coopérer avec une surface périphérique 23 que comporte, à l'opposé de la nervure périphérique haute 26 ou la nervure périphérique basse 25, une autre base 20 identique pour leur empilage l'une sur l'autre.More particularly, at least the upper peripheral rib 26, or the lower peripheral rib 25, is arranged to cooperate with a peripheral surface 23 that has, opposite the upper peripheral rib 26 or the lower peripheral rib 25, another base 20 identical for stacking one on the other.

De façon similaire, plus particulièrement, chaque plateau 30 est empilable sur un autre plateau 30 identique, en appui sur des taquets latéraux 37, et la boîte 1 comporte au moins une coiffe agencée pour recouvrir et obturer le plateau 30 supérieur de l'empilage. Dans une variante, ces taquets latéraux 37 peuvent aussi être utilisés pour un appui de butée sur un bossage de la base 20.Similarly, more particularly, each plate 30 is stackable on another identical plate 30, resting on lateral tabs 37, and the box 1 comprises at least one cap arranged to cover and seal the top plate 30 of the stack. In a variant, these lateral tabs 37 can also be used for abutment support on a boss of the base 20.

Avantageusement les plateaux 30 comportent un repérage 34 de chaque compartiment 2, par exemple un nombre tel que visible sur les figures. De façon avantageuse, les différents compartiments 2 d'un plateau 30 donné sont ainsi identifiés individuellement, par exemple par un numéro venu d'injection avec le plateau 30. Ceci permet une identification facile par un manipulateur ou par un opérateur, si une des pièces d'horlogerie doit être extraite, pour être par exemple amenée dans un circuit de retouche de réglage, ou autre.Advantageously, the trays 30 comprise a marking 34 of each compartment 2, for example a number as visible in the figures. Advantageously, the different compartments 2 of a given plate 30 are thus identified individually, for example by an injection number with the plate 30. This allows easy identification by a manipulator or by an operator, if one of the parts timepiece must be extracted, for example to be brought into a setting retouch circuit, or other.

Dans une variante, au moins un maintien complémentaire 61, tel qu'une mousse ou similaire, peut occuper un logement 2 pour caler une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 et définir sa position.In a variant, at least one complementary support 61, such as a foam or the like, can occupy a housing 2 to wedge a timepiece 1000 and define its position.

De façon similaire, plus particulièrement, chaque couvercle 10 comporte des pieds 17, qui sont agencés pour son empilage sur un couvercle 10 de même type sans contact avec les tampons résilients 6 de l'autre couvercle 10, il est en effet important que les surfaces des tampons résilients 6, qui sont destinées à venir en contact direct avec des pièces d'horlogerie 1000, soient à l'abri de toute pollution telle que poussière, fluide, ou autre. Chaque pied 17 comporte alors une surface inférieure 411, qui est agencée pour venir en appui sur une surface supérieure complémentaire 412 opposée, lors d'un tel empilage; avantageusement, les surfaces de jonction entre ces surfaces supérieures complémentaires 412 et la grande face supérieure du couvercle 10 comportent un rayon agencé pour faire glisser les pieds 17 du couvercle supérieur de l'empilage, et les écarter légèrement pour un positionnement précis en position de butée. Dans la réalisation particulière illustrée, ces pieds constituent aussi des éléments de fermeture supérieurs 41.Similarly, more particularly, each cover 10 has feet 17, which are arranged for its stacking on a cover 10 of the same type without contact with the resilient pads 6 of the other cover 10, it is indeed important that the surfaces resilient pads 6, which are intended to come into direct contact with timepieces 1000, are protected from any pollution such as dust, fluid, or other. Each foot 17 then has a lower surface 411, which is arranged to bear on a complementary upper surface 412 opposite, during such a stack; advantageously, the junction surfaces between these complementary upper surfaces 412 and the large upper face of the cover 10 comprise a radius arranged to slide the feet 17 of the top cover of the stack, and move them slightly for precise positioning in the stop position . In the particular embodiment illustrated, these feet also constitute upper closure elements 41.

De façon similaire, la base 20 peut comporter des rayons 270 agencés pour faciliter l'insertion avant clipage des pieds 17 de couvercle.Similarly, the base 20 may include spokes 270 arranged to facilitate insertion before clipping of the legs 17 of the cover.

Avantageusement, chaque pied 17 présente, sur sa plus grande surface, une forme de trapèze isocèle, plus étroit à son extrémité distale qu'à son attache au couvercle 10, de façon à remplir une fonction de centrage longitudinal par rapport à une encoche large à faces parallèles ou obliques, que comporte la base 20, lors du clipage du couvercle 10 sur la base 20, dans la position de la figure 1. Ainsi, les éléments d'indexage 11, et/ou les moyens de préhension 12, qui sont de part et d'autre du couvercle 10 et de la base 20 assemblés, sont parfaitement alignés, et un manipulateur de manutention peut fonctionner à jeu minimal.Advantageously, each foot 17 has, on its larger surface, an isosceles trapezium shape, narrower at its distal end than its attachment to the lid 10, so as to fulfill a longitudinal centering function with respect to a wide notch at parallel or oblique faces, that comprises the base 20, during the clipping of the cover 10 on the base 20, in the position of the figure 1 . Thus, the indexing elements 11, and / or the gripping means 12, which are on both sides of the cover 10 and the base 20 assembled, are perfectly aligned, and a handling manipulator can operate at minimum clearance .

Dans une réalisation particulière, les composants de la boîte 1 sont tous réalisés en matière plastique, en particulier par injection pour garantir une qualité géométrique répétitive, notamment en polypropylène ou similaire. Au moins les bases 20 et couvercles 10 sont conçus pour être lavés périodiquement, par exemple par un système de lavage automatique par ultra-sons ; les plateaux 30 peuvent aussi bénéficier d'un tel lavage. Les composants résilients 6 ne sont ni lavés ni recyclés, ce sont des pièces d'usure, mesurées de façon périodique, et rebutées dès que leur épaisseur ne garantit plus un maintien correct d'une pièce d'horlogerie 1000 dans on compartiment 2, ou dès qu'un signe d'usure, de déchirure, ou de pollution est constaté.In a particular embodiment, the components of the box 1 are all made of plastic material, in particular by injection to ensure a repetitive geometric quality, especially polypropylene or the like. At least the bases 20 and covers 10 are designed to be washed periodically, for example by an automatic ultrasonic washing system; trays 30 may also benefit from such washing. The resilient components 6 are neither washed nor recycled, they are wear parts, measured periodically, and discarded as soon as their thickness no longer guarantees a correct retention of a timepiece 1000 in one compartment 2, or as soon as a sign of wear, tear, or pollution is found.

Selon l'agencement, le même manipulateur 101, ou bien avantageusement un autre manipulateur connexe 104, comporte un bras d'extrémité lequel comporte une tête munie de ces différents capteurs 102 ou outillages 103, pour permettre une intervention simultanées sur toutes les pièces d'horlogerie 1000 que comporte une boîte 1 particulière. Un tel manipulateur 101 ou 104 peut ainsi, selon le contrôle à effectuer, mettre en oeuvre une tête équipée de capteurs 102, ou bien une tête équipée d'outillages 103, ou une tête mixte équipée à la fois de capteurs 102 et d'outillages 103, ou autre.More particularly, the manipulator 101 comprises as many sensors 102 and / or tools 103 as a box 1 has compartments 2. Notably the manipulator 101 is a multi-axis robot, able to simulate all the positions to wear in space, and not just the usual chronometric control positions, but also any realistic position in space. According to the arrangement, the same manipulator 101, or advantageously another related manipulator 104, comprises an end arm which comprises a head provided with these different sensors 102 or tools 103, to allow simultaneous intervention on all parts of watchmaker 1000 that includes a particular box 1. Such a manipulator 101 or 104 can thus, according to the control to be carried out, implement a head equipped with sensors 102, or a head equipped with tools 103, or a mixed head equipped with both sensors 102 and tools 103, or other.
