Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of portable accessories, especially watches and bracelets known as "connected”, that is to say equipped with electronic circuits able to send / receive data via a wireless telecommunications network to devices third-party electronic means with complementary means of communication. It relates, more particularly, to a compound housing comprising multiple compartments to accommodate different mechanisms and functionalities, complementary or not, the housing being shaped to provide ergonomic carry without sliding or rotation around the wrist of a user.
- the rotational movement of the wrist is however not always easy or possible. This is often the case when the hand of the member wearing the watch (or the bracelet) is busy holding a tool or the steering wheel of a car, for example or conversely during significant movements of the member, as in the framework of sports activities (races, navigation, horse riding for example).
- the display of the watch is not correctly viewed by the user as the watch rotates around the wrist and / or slides around it.
- the simultaneous or consecutive display of several functions may also require the user to manipulate the connected device with his free hand, which is of course not practical or dangerous in case of driving for example.

It also allows, depending on the case, to offer multiple aesthetic and functional possibilities by varying the colors and materials of the compartments and their displays, or hoods, if any.
- the covers and compartments may also provide an electromagnetic shielding function where appropriate, which may or may not be activated depending on the position of a said compartment and / or its cover.
- the housing of the invention also provides the opportunity for a wearer to combine functional devices of separate suppliers in the same personal item worn on the wrist, and therefore offer greater flexibility of use.
- the angle b is between 100 ° and 150 ° relative to the extension plane P1.
- the plate comprises an opening of complementary shape of at least a portion of the second compartment, said opening and said plate forming a seating seat of the second compartment vis-à-vis the first compartment.
- the second compartment can also be fixed on an upper face or a lower face of the plate, so as to be accessible and visible to the wearer in the first case or conversely to be hidden in contact with the wrist of the latter in use worn case .
- said second compartment defines an opening closed by a hood. If necessary this cover can be transparent or not, forming an electromagnetic barrier or not.
- said cover is in an advantageous embodiment pivotally mounted or sliding on a wall of the second compartment or on the mounting plate of said second compartment.
- the housing of the invention comprises means for fixing bracelet strands, for example in the form of horns arranged on the walls of the compartments and / or the mounting plate of the second compartment.
