Lesfigures 3b et 3c présentent des vues en coupe selon les sections A-A et B-B indiquées à lafigure 3a .Thefigure 3a is a plan view of the decor attached to the base plate. Thefigures 3b and 3c show sectional views according to sections AA and BB indicated infigure 3a .
A la
De manière caractéristique pour l'invention, le décor 2 est maintenu en position fixe par rapport à la plaque de base 1, au moyen d'un assemblage d'éléments qui ne comporte qu'un seul point d'attachement à la plaque de base 1, réalisé par une vis de fixation 5 vissée dans un trou fileté 6 ménagé dans la plaque de base 1. Les autres éléments de l'assemblage sont visibles aux
Le pont de soutien 12 est une pièce qui comprend au moins une portion centrale inclinée ou courbée, de manière à ce que la projection du point de support 10 dans le plan de la plaque de base 1 soit éloignée de la vis de fixation 5. Selon la forme d'exécution représentée dans les figures, le pont de soutien 12 est une pièce rigide qui a la forme d'un bras incliné 18 comportant à son extrémité proximale un premier plateau 14 pourvu d'un trou traversant 15 et à son extrémité distale un deuxième plateau 16 également pourvu d'un trou traversant 17. Le premier plateau 14 est inséré ou, en d'autres mots, noyé dans une cavité 20 de la plaque de base 1, au fond de laquelle se trouve le trou fileté 6. La vis de fixation 5 passe à travers le trou 15 du premier plateau 14. Le deuxième plateau 16 est de préférence parallèle au premier plateau 14. Le deuxième plateau 16 est inséré ou, en d'autres mots, noyé dans une cavité 21 pratiquée dans la surface inférieure 4 du décor 2. Ladite cavité 21 est pourvue d'une tige centrale 22 qui passe à travers le trou 17 du deuxième plateau 16. Le deuxième plateau 16 est fixé au décor 2 par collage ou soudage. L'inclinaison du bras 18 est telle que le pont de soutien 12 maintient une distance fixe entre la plaque de base 1 et la surface inférieure 4 du décor 2.The
De manière générale, le pied de support 13 comprend une extrémité proximale maintenue à une position fixe dans le plan de la plaque de base 1 et une extrémité distale attachée à la surface inférieure 4 du décor 2, au deuxième point de support 11, la projection du deuxième point 11 dans le plan de la plaque de base 1 étant éloignée de la vis de fixation 5 et de la projection du premier point 10. De préférence, les deux projections des points 10 et 11 et le centre de la vis de fixation 5 forment un triangle. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée dans les figures, le pied 13 comprend une tige 23 qui prend la forme d'une vis auxiliaire 23 vissée à son extrémité distale dans un trou fileté 24 pourvu dans la surface inférieure 4 du décor 2, ledit trou 24 étant préférentiellement non débouchant sur la surface supérieure 3 du décor. La vis auxiliaire 23 comprend à son extrémité proximale une tête de vis 25 qui est noyée dans une cavité 26 pourvue dans la plaque de base 1, qui immobilise la tige dans le plan de la plaque de base 1, avec une rondelle en silicone 27 installée entre le fond de la cavité 26 et la tête de vis 25.In general, the
La vis auxiliaire 23 et la vis de fixation 5 sont liées latéralement entre elles par une entretoise 30, montée au-dessus du premier plateau 14 du pont de soutien 12. L'entretoise 30 comprend un premier trou traversant 31 permettant l'insertion de la vis de fixation 5 par le dessus de l'entretoise 30 et un deuxième trou traversant 32 à côté du premier trou 31, le deuxième trou 32 permettant l'insertion de la vis auxiliaire 23 par le dessous de l'entretoise 30. Lorsque la vis de fixation 5 est serrée, elle solidarise le pont de support 12 et l'entretoise 30 à la plaque de base 1 du cadran. En même temps, l'entretoise 30 maintient la tête 25 de la vis auxiliaire 23 dans la cavité 26, tout en réalisant une liaison latérale entre la vis de fixation 5 et le pied de support 13 (dans ce cas la vis auxiliaire 23). Un tube rigide 33 entoure une portion de la vis auxiliaire 23, le tube 33 étant pressé entre la surface inférieure 4 du décor 2 et l'entretoise 30, lorsque la vis auxiliaire 23 est serrée. Une cavité 35 est pourvue dans la surface inférieure 4 du décor, pour recevoir l'extrémité du tube 33. Le trou fileté 24 qui reçoit l'extrémité de la vis auxiliaire 23 se trouve au fond de la cavité 35.The
Aux
La solidarisation du décor 2 à la plaque de base 1 est effectuée par les étapes suivantes qui commencent par l'assemblage des différents éléments. La vis auxiliaire 23 est insérée dans le trou 32 de l'entretoise 30 et dans le tube 33. Le pont de soutien 12 est attaché à la surface inférieure 4 du décor 2 au point 11 et la vis auxiliaire 23 est vissée dans ladite surface inférieure 4 au point 10. Le tube 33 garantit que lorsque la vis auxiliaire 23 est serrée, le décor 2 est maintenu à une distance fixe de l'entretoise 30. Puis le décor 2 pourvu de l'assemblage d'éléments est monté sur la plaque de base 1 par placement de la tête de vis 25 dans la cavité 26 comprenant la rondelle en silicone 27 au fond de ladite cavité 26. La rondelle en silicone a une fonction d'absorption de chocs et vibrations, et elle permet de compenser les différences de tolérances de l'empilement des éléments en assurant un appui sur le cadran. Finalement, la vis de fixation 5 est insérée dans les trous 31 et 15 et serrée par vissage dans le trou fileté 6 de la plaque de base 1.The fixing of the
Cet assemblage permet, par l'intermédiaire de l'entretoise 30, de répartir les chocs et/ou vibrations entre la vis de fixation 5, le pont de soutien 12, et le pied de support 13 avec une absorption des vibrations et chocs par la rondelle en silicone 27. Ce système permet aussi de répartir le poids du décor 2 sur ces mêmes éléments. De ce fait, dans les deux cas, la charge sur la vis de fixation 5 est diminuée et cela fiabilise la fixation d'un décor 2 lourd.This assembly makes it possible, by means of the
Plusieurs détails techniques décrits pour la forme d'exécution représentée dans les figures ne sont pas limitatifs pour la portée de l'invention. Par exemple, le pied 13 peut avoir une forme différente et être attaché au décor 2 et/ou à la plaque de base 1 d'une manière alternative, par exemple par soudage ou collage. Il peut s'agir d'une tige collée ou soudée à la surface inférieure 4 du décor 2 et pourvue d'une portion à section augmentée qui remplit la même fonction que la tête de vis 25 de la vis auxiliaire 23. Le tube 33 peut être supprimé dans le dernier cas.La rondelle en silicone 27 peut être fabriquée en un autre matériau ayant des propriétés antichocs. La rondelle 27 peut ne pas être requise pour certains poids et/ou matériaux du décor. La fixation du pont de soutien 12 à la surface inférieure 4 du décor peut être réalisée par des moyens autres que par le plateau 16. Le plateau 14 peut également être remplacé par un élément équivalent qui permet la solidarisation par vissage du pont de soutien 12 avec l'entretoise 30 à la plaque de base 1.Several technical details described for the embodiment shown in the figures are not limiting for the scope of the invention. For example, the
