Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a timepiece comprising a device for locking a control member such as a crown or more generally any member operable by a user such as a valve.
  • timepieces comprising a locking device which makes it possible to deactivate a control member. These devices are intended to prevent accidental actuation of the control member. Numerous documents are thus known which describe such a locking device for push buttons or crowns, a device which could possibly be transposable for safety valves fitted to diving watches.
  • a device for locking a crown comprises a lug secured to the inner face of a rotating bezel.
  • the lug is positioned in a groove made in the crown, which blocks its movement in translation.
  • This construction has the disadvantage that the device can lock if the adjustment between the groove and the lug for the given angular position is not perfect.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a timepiece comprising a device for locking a member which is reliable while being easily manipulated by the user and aesthetic.
  • the body designates a control body, e.g. a crown, or even a valve.
  • the present invention provides a timepiece comprising a locking device provided with a locking element capable of moving in translation along the longitudinal axis of the member between a locking position and an unlocking position.
  • the blocking element is arranged to lock the valve in its closed position and the crown in its depressed position.
  • the displacement in translation of the blocking element is controlled by a part mounted to move in rotation about the central axis of the housing.
  • the mobile part is intended to be rotated by the user. It may be a rotating ring hidden under the bezel and secured to a gripping area extending outside the perimeter delimited by a section of the housing so as to be graspable by the user.
  • the angular displacement of the part mounted mobile in rotation is linked to the translational movement of the blocking element by drive means.
  • drive means include a cam disposed on the movable part defining a guide surface for a follower disposed on the locking element.
  • the guide surface is profiled so as to move away from the central axis of the housing in order to cause the translational movement of the locking element towards the outside of the housing from its locked position to its unlocked position.
  • the cam is formed by a recess made in the part mounted to move in rotation and the follower is a finger disposed on the blocking element.
  • the latter is formed of a socket surrounding a portion of the member disposed under the head of said member, the socket comprising a housing intended to receive the finger standing in the direction of the movable part.
  • the sleeve has a re-entrant part forming a stop for a shoulder formed on said portion of the member when the blocking element is translated into its locking position.
  • the blocking element remains hidden under the bezel without overflowing outside the perimeter delimited by the edge of the case.
  • the device for locking the member according to the invention is thus perfectly integrated into the design of the housing while being easy to use. Furthermore, whatever the position adopted, the finger of the locking element is always engaged with the recess of the movable part which guarantees the reliability of the locking device.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece of the wristwatch type comprising a device for locking a member capable of moving in translation along its longitudinal axis and in rotation about this same axis. It may be a screwed valve 3 as illustrated in the figure 1A or a screwed crown (not shown).
  • the timepiece conventionally comprises a case 1 provided with a middle part 2 and a valve 3 screwed onto a tube 7 fixed to the middle part 2.
  • the screwing and unscrewing of the valve 3 makes it possible to move in translation the valve along its longitudinal axis, which can also be described as a radial axis with respect to the housing, between a closed position and an open position which, in contrast to the closed position, allows the evacuation of a gas in the event of overpressure inside the watch case.
  • the tube 7 is crossed by the rod 8 integral with the valve 3.
  • the latter comprises a head 4 which surmounts a hollow body 5 substantially cylindrical terminated by a ring 6.
  • the ring 6 has an outside diameter greater than that of the hollow body 5 of so as to form a shoulder 6a at the junction between the outer faces of the hollow body 5 and the ring 6.
  • the head 4 with the hollow body 5 is a separate part from the ring 6 .
  • the timepiece comprises a locking device which makes it possible to block the valve in the closed position.
  • the locking device comprises a blocking element 9 movable in translation along the longitudinal axis of the valve between a position of lock and unlock position.
  • the locking element 9 surrounds the ring 6 and at least partially the hollow body 5 of the valve. It is formed of a cylindrical sleeve 10. This sleeve 10 has on its inner face a re-entrant part 10a defining a stop for the shoulder 6a of the ring 6 when the locking device is in its locking position.
  • the sleeve has on its inner face a part of inner diameter smaller than that of the rest of the sleeve, the junction between the parts of different diameters forming the stop for the shoulder.
  • This re-entrant part 10a is disposed at the end of the sleeve 10 which is opposite the head 4 of the valve.
  • the locking element 9 also comprises a finger 11 with a base housed in a recess 10b formed in the bush 10 and a protruding portion standing out of the latter in the direction of the bezel 12 of the housing ( fig.1B and fig.1C ).
  • This finger stands in a direction parallel to the central axis 1a of the housing 1 which is an axis perpendicular to the general plane of the housing and to the longitudinal axis of the valve.
  • the locking device also comprises a part 13 mounted movable in rotation about the central axis 1a and intended to be rotated by a user.
  • This part 13 which is mobile in rotation controls the translational movement of the locking element 9 between the locking and unlocking positions. It thus has two angular positions corresponding respectively to the locking and unlocking positions. These two angular positions can for example be indicated by a marking on the bezel.
  • the mobile part 13 forms a rotating ring concealed under the bezel 12 with a projecting portion 13b, which will also be called a gripping zone, extending outside the perimeter delimited by a section of the housing 1 so to allow its gripping by the user.
  • this gripping area is textured to facilitate its entry by the user.
  • the movable part is a ring only partially concealed under the bezel, a portion of the ring extending on the periphery of the bezel so as to be accessible by a user.
  • the mobile part is the telescope as such.
  • the mobile part is kinematically linked to the blocking element by means of drive means.
  • the drive means comprise the finger 11 of the locking element 9 acting as a follower intended to cooperate with a cam disposed on the movable part 13.
  • the cam is defined by at least one of the two lateral surfaces of an interior recess 13a formed in the rotating ring 13 ( fig.1D ).
  • the recess 13a has two sections a1 corresponding respectively to the locked and unlocked positions.
  • the sections a1 are arranged so as to move away from the central axis of the housing in order to generate this axial displacement of the blocking element between the locking position which is closest to the central axis of the housing and a more distant position corresponding to the unlocking position.
  • the sections a1 are rectilinear and separated by a transition zone a2 allowing a smooth passage of the finger 11 between the positions ( fig.1D ).
  • This transition zone can be substantially rectilinear, curved or have curved and rectilinear portions. It is also conceivable that the sections and the transition zone form a single section in an arc of a circle offset relative to the central axis of the housing.
  • the protruding portion of the finger 11 standing up from the blocking element may have a diameter substantially equal to the width of the recess 13a as shown in the figures. It is also possible that the finger has a smaller diameter provided that it is always in contact with a lateral surface of the recess to ensure its guidance. To this end, return means such as a helical spring can be provided to hold the finger in contact with one of the two lateral surfaces of the recess in the two directions of actuation of the movable part.
  • the locking device can also include means which make it possible to maintain the movable part in the desired position without risk of untimely changes.
  • the device locking can be provided with ball pawls with the balls which are received in cavities formed in the movable part.
  • valve locking device The operation of the valve locking device is as follows. To the Figures 1A to 1D , the valve 3 is locked in the closed position, which corresponds in the example illustrated to the positioning of the gripping area 13b of the movable part 13 at 9 o'clock. In this position, the finger 11 is engaged with the section a1 of the recess 13a which is closest to the axis 1a of the housing. It follows that the locking element 9 is in its axial position closest to the axis of the housing. In this position, the shoulder 6a of the ring 6 is in abutment against the re-entrant part 10a of the sleeve 10. Any axial displacement of the valve towards its open position further from the axis of the housing is thus prevented.
  • the gripping area 13b is rotated by an angle given by the user.
  • the amplitude between the two positions is approximately 30 °. It is of course conceivable to extend or reduce this amplitude.
  • the finger 11 of the locking element 9 is positioned in the section a1 of the recess 13a which is further from the axis of the housing compared to the previous position. It follows an axial displacement of the blocking element 9 in a direction opposite to the axis of the housing freeing a space D between the re-entrant part 10a of the sleeve 10 and the shoulder 6a of the ring 6 ( fig. 2B ). The user can then freely unscrew the valve in order to move it axially over a maximum stroke D where the valve is in the open position as shown in the figures 3A-3C .
  • the locking device and its operation have been described for a valve but it can also be used for a crown which would be held in the depressed position by this same locking device.
  • the crown can adopt this depressed position, an intermediate position and a pulled position allowing respectively to wind the timepiece, change a date and change a time.
  • the cam is formed by a lateral surface delimiting a projecting portion formed on the movable part and that the follower is formed by a recess formed in the blocking element.
