Definitions
- the present invention is based on a chronograph, in particular a wrist chronograph, with a housing and a crown arranged along a crown axis, the chronograph having control elements for operating the chronometric function of the chronograph, wherein the operating elements are arranged at an angle to the crown axis.
- Chronographs are watches with a time measurement functionality.
- the crown stands out as well as the controls from the case.
- the crown serves the
- Time setting of the clock and can be moved and rotated along the crown axis.
- the controls can be operated by pressing. It is disadvantageous that the controls protrude from the housing and can be operated separately from each other. Thus, by the arrangement of the
- Wristband chronograph comprising a housing and a crown arranged along a crown axis, the chronograph having controls for operating the chronograph chronometric function, the controls being disposed at an angle to the crown axis, the controls being within the crown Chronograph are arranged, wherein the chronograph has a cover for covering the controls, wherein the cover in a
- the cover member is pivotable about an axis, wherein the axis perpendicular to the crown axis and this is arranged intersecting, wherein the cover member is in a pivoted position in contact with one of the controls that the cover of a the controls pressed.
- the cover is substantially rigid. That in particular, that not both controls can be operated simultaneously.
- the cover is formed substantially circular arc.
- the cover is formed rocker-shaped, in particular with respect to the axis.
- the cover element preferably comprises an outer cover element and an inner cover element, in particular firmly connected to the outer cover element.
- the inventive method has over the prior art has the advantage that the controls do not protrude beyond the housing, but are arranged within the chronograph and the cover is flush with the housing.
- the operation of the controls is also advantageously done intuitively by pivoting in the sense of a rocking of the cover. Damage to the controls is also advantageously largely excluded by the indirect operation.
- the axis is arranged perpendicular to a main extension plane of the chronograph, in particular a display of the chronograph.
- a main extension plane of the chronograph in particular a display of the chronograph.
- Main extension plane of the chronograph parallel to a main extension plane the case and / or a bottom of the chronograph is. This makes it possible in an advantageous manner that the movement for actuating the operating elements takes place parallel to the main extension plane. According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that the chronograph along the axis of a lower bearing and an upper bearing for guiding the

- Timing function is provided. This advantageously makes it possible
- the cover comprises a restoring element, in particular a spring element which is configured so that it spends the cover from the pivoted position to the starting position.
- a portion of the cover protrudes in the pivoted position on the housing and another portion projects into the housing, wherein the protruding portion is associated with the actuated operating element.
- the protruding and the protruding portion along a longitudinal extent of the cover are arranged at opposite ends.
- the cover in the initial position and / or the pivoted position, is spaced from at least one of the controls.
- an accidental operation is advantageously excluded because initially a certain distance must be covered until the control element is actuated by the cover.
- a sufficient pivoting of the cover is clearly visible, whereby an unintentional operation would be recognized immediately.
- pivoted position is advantageously the non-actuated control element spaced from the cover, so that accidental operation of the unwanted control element is excluded.
- the cover element comprises a contact means in a contact region with the operating elements, wherein the contact means preferably comprises a hardened material and / or an elastic material.
- Another object of the present invention is a method for operating a chronograph according to the invention, wherein for operating the timepiece of the chronograph, the cover is transferred from a starting position in which it is flush with the housing, in such a pivoted position that the cover of one of Controls operated, with the movement
- the chronograph advantageously acts like a clock without timepiece function.
