Definitions
- the present invention relates to a portable electronic device comprising means for connecting a bracelet to a watch case having an electrical connector. More specifically, the present invention relates to such a portable device comprising means for establishing a reliable and sealed electrical connection between a watch case and a bracelet, removably.
- This connector element can take the form of a USB-type connector for connection to a computer, such a male-type USB connector can be located at a closing end of a branch of a watchband as described in FIG. patent US 7,006,408 . It is thus difficult to protect or hide the connector, and to change the bracelet.
- EP Patent 1 416 852 a portable device comprising a housing in which is disposed a first electrical module, and a bracelet attached to the housing, a second electrical module being associated with the bracelet as well as electrical connection means providing an electrical connection between the first and second electrical modules through an opening in the housing.
- a portable device comprising a housing in which is disposed a first electrical module, and a bracelet attached to the housing, a second electrical module being associated with the bracelet as well as electrical connection means providing an electrical connection between the first and second electrical modules through an opening in the housing.
- the invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
- an object of the invention is to provide a wristwatch provided with an electrical connector on the bracelet to access an electronic circuit inside the watch, which is of simple design, and whose wristband is easily interchangeable while ensuring a good seal at the connector.
- a portable electronic device comprising a housing and a bracelet attached to said housing, the housing comprising at least one pair of horn, between which is disposed a female electrical connector, the bracelet comprising a male electrical connector disposed at the end of the bracelet and arranged to provide an electrical connection with the female electrical connector when the bracelet is mounted in the housing,
- each horn comprises a spring bar intended to be housed in a housing opposite the bracelet, the bars being capable of occupying two positions, an engagement position in which they extend outside the horns to successively engage in a guide groove of the bracelet and then in the locking groove in the bracelet, and a retracted position, the device comprising a manual actuating member, for moving the bars in their retracted position against the force exerted by the bar.
- the figure 1 illustrates an exploded perspective view of the portable electronic device, here an electronic or electro-mechanical watch.
- the watch is provided with a female electrical connector 2 arranged in the middle part 3 of the watch, through an opening, between the horns 6 of the caseband 3.
- the bracelet may be composed of two strands 4 with a folding clasp closure or traditional clasp.
- the strands of the bracelet are obtained by molding plastic materials.
- at least one strand 4 comprises at its end intended to be in contact with the middle part 3, an insert 40 also obtained by molding plastics.
- This insert 40 is fixed to the strand 4 removably or overmoulded to facilitate the introduction of a male electrical connector 5 arranged to cooperate with the female electrical connector 2.
- the insert 40 is arranged to be fixed to the middle part 3 of the housing 1 and comprises an outer wall 41 bearing against the outer surface 30 of the middle part 3 of the housing to hold it fixed without being able to rotate.
- Preferably at least a portion of the wall 41 is integrally against a portion of the outer surface 30 of the middle part.
- the outer surface 30 may be flat or may define a cylinder portion.
- the outer wall 41 has a shape complementary to the outer surface 30 of the middle part 3 so as to rest completely against this outer surface 30.
- the insert 40 of the strand 4 comprises a male electrical connector 5, the male connector coming out of the insert 40 through a channel 42 protruding at the outer wall 41, and having dimensions similar to those of the connector to ensure a good fit of the connector in the duct 42.
- This male electrical connector 5 is provided to connect in the female electrical connector 2 of the caseband when assembling the bracelet strand 4 to the middle part 3.
- the conduit 42 comprises, at its periphery, a seal 43 extending over all or part of its periphery, the seal 43 being arranged to rest against the middle part. Therefore, the dimensions of the female connector are preferably chosen slightly higher than those of the conduit 42. Thus, the seal 43 is frictionally housed in the socket and seals between the male and female connectors.
- the seal 42 may be single or double as illustrated in the sectional view of the figure 4 .
- each horn 6 comprises a spring bar 60 formed by a body 61 receiving resilient return means, such as a spring 62 for example, acting on a pivot 63 movably mounted inside the body 61.
- pivot 63 is movable along the longitudinal axis of the body and is capable of changing between a compressed position and a rest position in which the pivot 63 is arranged to rest in a housing formed in the bracelet strand.
- the pivots form fastening means and protrude at the side walls of the horns, to co-operate with grooves of the bracelet strand when the strand is fixed on the watch case 1.
- Each pivot 63 comprises a spherical end ensuring good translational guidance in the grooves formed inside the bracelet strand, as can be seen on the figure 2 .
- the pivots 63 may be made of plastics, ceramics, composite materials or even metal or metal alloy.
- pivots are arranged to cooperate with the bracelet strand, and more precisely with grooves formed in the insert 40.
- the insert 40 comprises a guide groove 44 and a locking groove 45 formed in the insert. 40, these throats are particularly visible on the Figures 1 and 2 .
- the guide groove 44 is a horizontal groove including a ramp 440 to gradually constrain the bars.
- the guide groove 44 opens on the face of the insert 40 which is in contact with the middle part 3 and on the lateral face of the insert 40, the latter extending along the edge of the insert 40 on a shorter length at the distance between the bar and the edge of the middle part.
- the locking groove 45 is a vertical groove which opens on the underside of the insert 40, namely the face in contact with the wrist of the wearer, and on the side face of the insert 40 of the bracelet strand.
- the guide groove 44 and the locking groove 45 are separated by a partition 46, so that the pivot of the bar is compressed progressively to the partition by means of the ramp 440, then lodge in the locking groove 45 and relaxes once the partition 46 passed.
- the guide groove 44 and the locking groove 45 can be machined directly into the insert of the bracelet strand or formed during the molding of the insert 40.
- the insert 40 of the bracelet strand also comprises, on its underside, two slots 400 configured to receive an actuating member 7, so that the pivots 63 are visible and accessible through these slots 400 with the actuating member 7 .
- the actuating member 7 comprises two blades 70 connected by a crosspiece, each blade 70 having at its lower end an inclined surface 71 which cooperates with the end of the pivots 63.
- this actuating member 7 is subject to a bracelet clasp so as to be able to separate the bracelet strand at any time by the wearer.
- the locking grooves 45 of the horns 6 and the bars 60 are slightly offset, so as to shift the grooves slightly with respect to the bars 60, which forces the insert 40 to force against the watch case thanks to an elastic deformation of the plastic insert, and thus automatically eliminate the clearance between the insert 40 and the middle part 3.
- the assembly of the strand 4 on the housing 1 is carried out as follows.
- the pins 63 of the webs are placed in each of the guide grooves 44 of the insert 40.
- the insert 40 of the strand 4 is then pushed until the male connector is present at the input of the female connector, the pivots 63 then arriving at the end of the ramp 440 of the guide groove, and therefore close to of the partition 46.
- the insert 40 of the strand 4 is then pushed in force until the male connector is fully inserted into the female connector, which also has the effect of causing the pivots 63 to pass behind the partition 46 in the grooves. locking.
- each blade 70 passing through the slots 46 formed under the insert 40 and opening into the locking grooves 45, each blade 70 having at its lower end an inclined surface 71 which bears gradually on the spherical end of the pivots 63 until the bars 6 are fully compressed.
