Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a timepiece comprising a device for actuating a valve.
  • the valve In timepieces comprising a valve, in particular mechanical diving watches, the valve is generally arranged so as to be able to be screwed, on or in a threaded tube respectively externally or internally and coaxial with the valve, between a first position, in which the valve is closed, and a second position in which the valve is open.
  • This conventional arrangement has certain drawbacks. Firstly, it is difficult for a user to know whether the valve is in its closed position or in its open position, which can cause an error of assessment and prove to be dangerous. Then it is difficult to secure the closed position.
  • the threaded tube has a certain size which leads in particular to a relatively high build. Finally, actuation of the valve by a small crown forming the external end of the valve is not always easy, in particular if the user is wearing gloves.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a timepiece comprising a valve, an element mounted to move in rotation about the central axis of the housing and drive means linking the angular displacement of the movable element in rotation to the translational displacement of the valve.
  • the mobile element is intended to be angularly moved by the user.
  • the mobile element is formed by a rotating ring framing a bezel of the case or by the bezel as such.
  • the mobile element is formed by a rotating ring disposed under a bezel of the case, in particular between the bezel and a middle part of the case, and secured to a projecting portion extending outside the perimeter delimited by a section of the case, without the ring, so as to be graspable by the user.
  • the movable element may include graduations corresponding to the two axial positions of the valve.
  • the drive means are formed by a cam disposed on the movable element defining a guide surface for a follower disposed on the member.
  • the guide surface is arranged so as to move away from the central axis of the housing in order to generate the displacement in translation of the valve between its closed position and its open position, and vice versa.
  • the actuation device comprises a ball pawl making it possible to avoid untimely displacements of the mobile element.
  • valve actuation device is thus perfectly integrated into the design of the housing while being easy to use.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece of the wristwatch type comprising a device for actuating a valve capable of to move in translation along its longitudinal axis and possibly in rotation around this same axis.
  • a timepiece conventionally comprising a case 1 provided with a middle part 2 and a crown 3 mounted on a tube 4 fixed to the middle part 2.
  • the tube 4 is crossed by the winding stem 5 connected to the crown 3.
  • the crown 3 is mounted movable in translation and in rotation around the axis of the tube 4, or in other words, around its longitudinal axis, which will also be called a radial axis relative to the housing.
  • the timepiece includes an actuating device which allows the crown to move in translation along this axis.
  • the actuating device comprises a movable element 6 mounted on the middle part 2 and the crown 3.
  • the mobile element could also be the telescope as such.
  • the movable element 6 has on its visible face framing the bezel 8 graduations 6a corresponding to the different respective positions that the crown can adopt.
  • the movable element 6 thus comprises 3 indexes numbered 1,2 and 3 corresponding respectively to the winding position, to the date change position and to the time setting position.
  • the fixed mounted bezel 8 has a mark 8a which the user places opposite the desired position by rotation of the ring 6.
  • the mark can be placed on a fixed part of the timepiece, such as on the dial.
  • the amplitude between the three positions is approximately 30 °. It is of course conceivable to extend or reduce this amplitude.
  • the number of positions can be variable and, for example, by 2, 3 or 4.
  • the element 6 is mounted movable in rotation about the central axis 1a of the housing 1, that is to say around an axis perpendicular to the general plane of the housing ( fig. 1B ). It is kinematically linked to the crown.
  • the actuation device is provided with drive means comprising a cam disposed on the movable element and a follower disposed on the crown and intended to cooperate with the cam.
  • the cam is defined by at least one of the two lateral surfaces of a recess 6a formed in the rotating ring 6 ( fig.1D ).
  • the follower is formed by a projecting part 3a formed on the crown 3 ( fig. 1B ).
  • the crown 3 has at its inner end to the housing 1 the projecting part 3a which delimits a recess 3b formed in the body of the crown.
  • This projecting part is present over the entire lateral periphery of the crown and has a section which, in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the crown, is circular so that, during the rotation of the crown, the projecting part 3a either at all times engaged in the recess 6a of the ring 6 ( figs.1B and 1 C ).
  • the projecting part 3a over the entire lateral periphery of the crown, which forms a projecting annular part, thus makes it possible to freely rotate the crown around its longitudinal axis through 360 ° for each of the axial positions provided.
  • the projecting annular part 3a engaged in the recess 6a has a substantially rectangular profile at the edge of this recess ( fig.1D ).
  • the recess 6a can comprise several sections a1 with a number corresponding to the number of desired positions. These sections a1 can be separated by transition zones a2 allowing a fluid passage of the projecting part between the different positions ( figs.1D and 6B ).
  • the different sections are arranged so as to move away from the central axis of the case in order to generate an axial displacement of the crown towards the outside of the case from the most sunken position towards the most pulled position. It is also conceivable that the different sections form a single section a1 in an arc off-center relative to the central axis 1a of the housing ( fig. 6A ).
  • the follower 3a is in contact with the two lateral surfaces of the recess 6a via respectively the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the projecting part of the follower.
  • the projecting part 3a can have a thickness substantially equal to that of the width of the recess 6a for each of the sections as shown in 1D figures , 2C and 3C .
  • the sections are thus substantially rectilinear with the perpendicular passing through the center of the section intercepting the central axis of the housing.
  • the two lateral surfaces of the recess move apart to allow the fluid passage of the follower.
  • the cam comprises a first angular section a1 delimited by the circular surfaces C1, C4 centered on the central axis 1a.
  • the follower 3a adopts a first axial position.
  • the follower 3a passes through a transition zone a2 delimited by rectilinear portions D1, D3 where the spacing between these portions is greater than the thickness of the follower.
  • the follower passes through a second angular transition zone a2 delimited by the rectilinear portions D2, D4 before joining the third angular section a1 delimited by the circular surfaces C3, C6 centered on the central axis 1a and determining the third position axial.
  • the straight portions D3 and D4 have a perpendicular to the junction with the circular surfaces C4 and C5 respectively which intercepts the central axis 1a.
  • the actuating device comprises means which make it possible to maintain the mobile element in the desired position without risk of untimely changes.
  • the actuating device can be provided with ball pawls with the balls 9 which are housed in cavities 10 made in the movable element 6.
  • a ball pawl is respectively positioned at 12 o'clock and at 6 o'clock.
  • the crown actuation device is as follows. To the Figures 1A to 1D , the crown 3 is pressed in, which corresponds to the indexed position 1 on the ring 6. In this position, the projecting part 3a is in engagement with the section of the recess 6a which is closest to the axis of the housing. To the Figures 2A to 2C , the ring 6 is rotated by an angle given by the user to position 2. Following this angular displacement of the ring 6, the projecting part 3a of the crown is positioned in the central section of the 'Recess 6a, which is further from the axis of the housing compared to position 1. It follows an axial displacement of the crown towards the outside of the housing.
  • the valve can take two separate axial positions with a closed position and an open position which, as opposed to the closed position, allows the evacuation of the internal gas in the event of overpressure inside the housing.
  • the recess 6a of the movable element 6 comprises two sections a1 separated by a transition zone a2.
  • the two sections are substantially rectilinear and separated by a transition zone also substantially rectilinear.
  • the valve 7 has at its inner end a projecting portion 7a intended to cooperate with the recess 6a of the element 6 movable in rotation.
  • the mobile element 6 forms a ring concealed under the bezel 8 with a protruding portion 6c, which will also be called a gripping zone, extending outside the perimeter defined by a section of the housing 1 in order to allow it to be grasped by the user.
  • this gripping area is textured to facilitate its entry by the user.
  • the movable element is a rotating ring disposed around the bezel or the bezel as such in a similar manner to what has been described above for the winding crown.
  • the axial displacement of the valve 7 generated by the angular displacement of the grip zone 6c makes it possible to release the seal 11 located under the head of the valve 7 at the junction with the tube 4 passing through the middle part 2.
  • an inadvertent change of position can be prevented with, for example, a ball pawl.
  • the timepiece may include locking means which make it possible to block the valve in the closed position.
  • the cam is formed by at least one lateral surface delimiting a projecting part formed on the movable element and that the follower is formed by a recess made in the crown or the valve.
