Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking and more specifically to a construction for a dial made of a fragile material. It also relates to the arrangement of this dial within a watch.
  • the watch dials can be made of materials such as mother-of-pearl, aventurine, etc. which have an attractive aesthetic appearance but which have the disadvantage of being fragile. As a result, they are likely to break or crack when the watch that is equipped is shocked, for example if the watch falls on a hard floor. As a result, these watches may not fulfill the requirements of the impact test. by NIHS_91-10.
  • the dial 2 comprises two plates 3,4 glued to one another with a support plate 3 made of a metallic material such as brass and a plate 4 visible through the ice 5 and which is made in the fragile material in question.
  • the two plates have the same diameter and are delimited by axially aligned slices. These are mounted next to the flange 7a of the middle part 7 with a set intended for resumption of radial shocks. By aligning the slices, the plates are mounted facing the middle part with the same clearance with the consequence that, in the event of a radial impact, the two plates abut against the middle part.
  • the fragile plate 4 is mounted opposite the flange bezel 6 with a game intended for shock absorption. vertical. This means that in case of shock, it is the fragile plate that collides with the telescope. It can thus be seen that this construction has the disadvantage that, during a radial or vertical shock, the fragile plate is loaded as much or more than the support plate which may crack or fracture it.
  • the present invention has the main object of proposing a new dial construction to reduce the stress on the fragile plate during an impact whether radial or vertical.
  • the present invention proposes a dial formed of two contiguous plates of different dimensions with a support plate having a dimension greater than that of the fragile plate so as to release on the support plate a peripheral rim intended to be mounted in a vertical direction facing the bezel instead of the peripheral edge of the fragile plate.
  • a dial is defined by claim 1 of the patent.
  • the present invention also relates to a watch, typically a wristwatch as defined in claim 8 of the patent.
  • the respective slices of the plates are not aligned vertically. This allows the dial to be mounted within the watch case with separate radial clearances for both plates. It is thus possible to mount the slice of the fragile plate with a radial clearance greater than that for the slice of the plate of support so that, during a radial impact, it is only the edge of the support plate that reaches the stop against the box. Again, it follows that the fragile plate will be solicited only negligibly during a radial shock.
  • the present invention relates to a dial construction and its arrangement within a watch case comprising a watch movement M surmounted by a dial 2 above which hour hands, H minutes, are moved. m and S seconds dragged by the movement M.
  • the dial 2 is formed of two plates bonded with a support plate 3 preferably made of a metallic material such as brass and with a plate 4 made of the brittle material.
  • Fragile material is understood to mean any material liable to break / crack and not to be deformed under the effect of an impact or in other words a material that does not exhibit plastic deformation under stress.
  • it may be quartz with one of its varieties which is aventurine, mother-of-pearl, ceramics, silicon, etc.
  • the plates 3 and 4 are so advantageously glued by means of a double-sided adhesive tape (not shown) interposed between them.
  • the use of such a tape ensures a good maintenance of the plates together while allowing a connection capable of damping shocks suffered by the metal plate.
  • the watch case 1 comprises an ice cream 5, a bottom 8 and a connecting element between the ice 5 and the bottom 8 made in one or more pieces and comprising a bezel 6, a flange 6a and a middle part 7.
  • the fragile plate 4 is disposed on the ice side 5 and the support plate 3 is arranged on the bottom side 8 of the watch case 1.
  • the support plate and the fragile plate define a horizontal plane, the plates being arranged one above the other in a direction perpendicular to this plane, i.e. in a vertical direction.
  • the support plate 3 and the fragile plate 4 are pierced with orifices 9 for the passage of the axis 10 of the needles.
  • the support plate 3 could be hollowed in its center.
  • the fragile plate 4 has a surface which is smaller than that of the support plate 3 and which in vertical projection on the support plate 3 does not exceed the contour of the latter, so as to release on the plate of support 3 a peripheral rim 3b intended to be mounted facing a wall of the connecting element and, more specifically, the flange 6a which is integral with the bezel 6 in the example shown.
  • This rim 3b is sized to be largely hidden by the flange from outside the ice. It is substantially horizontal and intended to be mounted facing a complementary surface of the flange 6a with a game Dz to take up the vertical shocks.
  • This set Dz is substantially constant and between 0.01 and 0.1 mm, and preferably between 0.03 and 0.07 mm.
  • the peripheral rim 3b extends to the wafer 3c of the support plate 3, this wafer 3c being substantially vertical and intended to be mounted facing another wall of the connecting element with a play Dx 1 in order to regain radial shocks. More precisely, the wafer 3c is mounted opposite a wall 7b of complementary shape (in this case straight and perpendicular to the plane of the dial 2) of the inner collar 7a of the middle part 7.
  • the two plates are arranged substantially concentrically with respect to the central axis 10 of the box which is the axis of the needles.
  • the fragile plate has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the support plate and the peripheral rim forms a ring of constant width around the fragile plate.
  • the support plate 3 comprises a housing 3a in which is fixed the fragile plate 4.
  • This housing has a shape substantially complementary to that of the support plate. Preferably, it has a depth which is less than the thickness of the fragile plate so that part of the portion 4a of the fragile plate 4 is raised outside the housing 3a. It is also conceivable that the housing 3a has a depth substantially equal to the thickness of the fragile plate 4 in which case the peripheral flange 3b and the upper face of the fragile plate 4 are substantially in the same plane. In this case, the fragile plate 4 is therefore entirely contained in the support plate 3.
  • the support plate is devoid of a housing and the fragile plate 4 is superimposed on the support plate 3 while maintaining a peripheral rim 3b of the support plate 3 free for mounting against the flush 6a.
  • the support plate 3 is recessed in its center and forms a frame comprising an inner rim defined by an inner peripheral portion of the bottom housing 3a.
  • the slice 4a of the fragile plate 4 stands vertically above the peripheral rim 3b. This part is mounted facing a vertical wall of the joining element, and more specifically a vertical wall 6b of the flange 6a. It is mounted with a game Dx 2 substantially constant. According to the invention, the clearance Dx 2 is greater than the clearance Dx 1 so that, during a radial shock, the support plate 3 comes into abutment against the wall 7b of the flange 7a without the slice 4a of the fragile plate 4 does not collide with the wall 6b of the flange 6a.
  • Dx 2 is chosen to be greater than Dx 1 while being small enough to be poorly noticeable or even invisible to the naked eye through the ice.
  • Dx 2 is between 0.05 and 0.15 mm and Dx 1 is between 0.01 and 0.1 mm with Dx 2 > Dx 1 .
  • Dx 2 is between 0.08 and 0.12 mm and Dx 1 is between 0.03 and 0.07 mm (Idem).
  • the surface of the peripheral rim of the support plate and / or the wall 6b of the flange are coated with a dark color layer.
  • the edge of the fragile plate is mounted with a set Dx 2 greater than Dx 1 .
