Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watch case for a wristwatch.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising the watch case and a two-part strap attached to the watch case.
  • the invention further relates to a wristwatch assembly kit, comprising the wristwatch and one or more spare straps.
  • the watch case comprises a middle part having a central axis, means for attaching a bracelet in the form of lugs detachably connected to the middle part, and an annular ring forming the bottom of the case. watch.
  • the annular ring is mounted for rotation about the central axis of the middle part and comprises mechanical locking means in the form of hooks.
  • the hooks are able to slide in a channel formed in the attachment lugs, to ensure the locking in position of these lugs and thus allow the bracelet to be secured to the box of watch.
  • a channel thus forms a means for engaging the hooks, complementary to these.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a watch case for a wristwatch with an interchangeable strap which makes it possible to reduce or even eliminate the potentially perceptible play of movement between the strap and the middle part, and thus to improve the integration between these two elements.
  • the invention relates to a watch case for a wristwatch, which comprises the characteristics mentioned in independent claim 1.
  • the mechanical locking means comprise at least one elastic member.
  • the elastic member is elastically engaged with the complementary engagement means when the annular ring is in its locked position. Thanks to the inherent elasticity of the elastic member, the potential play between the bracelet and the middle part is advantageously taken up. This improves the integration of the watch box / bracelet assembly, while offering no visible play between the two elements.
  • the user of the wristwatch can fasten or separate the strap from the middle easily, quickly, and in a single action of rotation on the annular ring of the watch case.
  • the complementary engagement means provided on the attachment means of a bracelet are released, allowing the release of the attachment means of the middle part, and therefore the disengagement of the bracelet the middle.
  • the annular ring has a constant section and comprises at least one notch capable of cooperating with the complementary engagement means provided on the attachment means of a bracelet, the complementary engagement means forming said or one of said elastic member (s) and being in the form of a leaf spring provided on the attachment means of a bracelet.
  • the annular ring comprises at least one thinned portion configured to allow elastic deformation, along a radius, of the annular ring in a plane along which it extends, the or each thinned portion having at least one notch capable of cooperating with the complementary engagement means provided on the attachment means of a bracelet, said notch forming said or one of said elastic member (s).
  • This allows a gain in overall dimensions in width of the system, since the annular ring works in bending in its plane.
  • such a configuration does not require any parts added to the annular ring to ensure the mechanical locking of the assembly, since the annular ring is formed from a single piece of material.
  • Such an arrangement is also compact in diameter, which makes it possible to obtain optimal integration between the bracelet and the middle part.
  • the middle part is provided with two pairs of opposite horns, the horns of the same pair being arranged facing one another, and the means for attaching a bracelet comprise a pair of bars and a pair end pieces, each bar being fixed between the horns of one of said pairs of horns, each end piece being able to be secured to an end portion of the bracelet, having a cross section in the shape of a "U" and being mounted so removable on one of the bars.
  • each endpiece is provided with a groove for receiving the mechanical locking means of the annular ring, said groove extending on an external face of the endpiece in contact with the middle part.
  • This characteristic also provides a mechanical stop in the direction parallel to the central axis of the middle part.
  • the watch case includes at least one stop for the annular ring. This avoids excessive rotation of the annular ring around the central axis of the middle part.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising the watch case described above, which includes the features mentioned in dependent claim 16.
  • the invention also relates to a kit for assembling a wristwatch, comprising the wristwatch described above, and which comprises the characteristics mentioned in dependent claim 17.
  • the figure 1 shows a watch case 1 for a wristwatch.
  • a two-part strap (not shown) is removably attached to watch case 1.
  • the wristwatch may for example belong to a kit (not shown) further comprising one or more additional bracelet (s).
  • additional straps constitute as many interchangeable straps for the wristwatch, which can be removably attached to the watch case 1.
  • the interchangeable straps can for example be made of metal, plastic, or a flexible material such as leather.
  • the watch case 1 comprises a middle part 2, a case back 4, means 6 for attaching a bracelet, and an annular ring 8.
  • the watch case 1 further comprises at least one stop d 'stop of the annular ring 8.
  • each stopper is a pin.
  • Each stopper is for example arranged on the middle part 2 or on the case back 4 and is configured to cooperate with a groove formed in the annular ring 8.
  • each stopper is shaped so as to prevent the rotation of the annular ring 8 over a predetermined angular range.
  • the middle part 2 has a central axis AA ′ and is placed on the bottom of the case 4. As illustrated in the figure 2 , the middle part 2 and the case back 4 together define a space 10 for receiving the annular ring 8, such a space 10 being open on the side. The annular ring 8 is thus held between the middle part 2 and the case back 4, in space 10.
