Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention concerne un instrument d'écriture comprenant un carter et une capsule agencée pour recevoir un mouvement horloger. L'instrument d'écriture est par exemple un stylo, sans que cela ne soit limitatif dans le cadre de la présente invention.The invention relates to a writing instrument comprising a housing and a capsule arranged to receive a watch movement. The writing instrument is for example a pen, without this being limiting in the context of the present invention.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

On connait des instruments d'écriture, notamment des stylos, comprenant à une de leurs extrémités une capsule agencée pour recevoir un élément décoratif. Un tel instrument d'écriture est par exemple décrit dans le document brevet FR 2 757 449 B1 . La capsule est vissée sur un capuchon de fermeture du stylo, plus précisément sur une extrémité du capuchon opposée à son ouverture recevant le corps du stylo. La capsule comprend un logement qui contient l'élément décoratif. L'élément décoratif est par exemple une pierre précieuse fixée dans un support, lequel support est monté mobile à l'intérieur du logement.Writing instruments are known, in particular pens, comprising at one of their ends a capsule arranged to receive a decorative element. Such a writing instrument is for example described in the patent document FR 2 757 449 B1 . The capsule is screwed onto a closing cap of the pen, more precisely on an end of the cap opposite to its opening receiving the body of the pen. The capsule includes a housing that contains the decorative element. The decorative element is for example a precious stone fixed in a support, which support is movably mounted inside the housing.

Dans le domaine de l'horlogerie on connait par ailleurs des instruments d'écriture, tels que par exemple des stylos, comprenant un carter et une capsule agencée pour recevoir un mouvement horloger. Une telle capsule forme alors un ensemble horloger fermé au sommet du carter de l'instrument d'écriture. Le garde-temps formé par l'ensemble horloger est alors consultable par un utilisateur, via une paroi transparente prévue sur la capsule. Toutefois, dans de tels instruments d'écriture se pose le problème de la fixation de la capsule sur une extrémité du carter. En effet, le fond d'une telle capsule est généralement fixé au reste de celle-ci, en particulier à la carrure du mouvement horloger, via une unique vis centrale. Or, un utilisateur cherchant à faire tourner la capsule par rapport au carter de l'instrument d'écriture, peut malencontreusement ouvrir la capsule en dévissant la vis centrale. Dans le domaine des mouvements horlogers, où des problèmes d'étanchéité et de précision des mouvements se posent, une telle manipulation s'avère alors particulièrement problématique car pouvant affecter la fiabilité de l'ensemble.In the field of watchmaking, moreover, writing instruments are known, such as, for example, pens, comprising a housing and a capsule arranged to receive a watch movement. Such a capsule then forms a closed watch assembly at the top of the housing of the writing instrument. The timepiece formed by the watch assembly can then be viewed by a user, via a transparent wall provided on the capsule. However, in such writing instruments the problem arises of fixing the capsule to one end of the housing. Indeed, the back of such a capsule is generally fixed to the rest of it, in particular to the middle part of the watch movement, via a single central screw. However, a user seeking to rotate the capsule relative to the housing of the writing instrument, may inadvertently open the capsule by unscrewing the central screw. In the field of watch movements, where problems of sealing and precision of the movements arise, such manipulation then proves to be particularly problematic because it can affect the reliability of the assembly.

RÉSUMÉ DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

L'invention a donc pour but de fournir un instrument d'écriture comprenant une capsule agencée pour recevoir un mouvement horloger, qui permette d'empêcher toute ouverture intempestive de la capsule par action sur la vis centrale, et d'améliorer ainsi la fiabilité et l'étanchéité de l'instrument d'écriture.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a writing instrument comprising a capsule arranged to receive a watch movement, which makes it possible to prevent any untimely opening of the capsule by action on the central screw, and thus to improve reliability and the sealing of the writing instrument.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un instrument d'écriture, qui comprend les caractéristiques mentionnées dans la revendication indépendante 1.To this end, the invention relates to a writing instrument, which comprises the features mentioned in independent claim 1.

Des formes particulières de l'instrument d'écriture sont définies dans les revendications dépendantes 2 à 10.Particular forms of the writing instrument are defined in dependent claims 2 to 10.

Grâce à la présence d'au moins deux vis agencées pour être vissées depuis l'extrémité du carter dans des pied-vis correspondants solidaires du fond de la capsule, de sorte à rendre indémontable cette dernière depuis l'extérieur de l'instrument d'écriture, un utilisateur ne peut plus dévisser la capsule en cherchant à faire tourner cette dernière par rapport au carter de l'instrument d'écriture. Une telle construction empêche avantageusement toute ouverture intempestive de la capsule par action sur la vis centrale. La fiabilité et l'étanchéité de l'instrument d'écriture contenant le mouvement horloger sont ainsi améliorées.Thanks to the presence of at least two screws arranged to be screwed from the end of the casing into corresponding screw feet secured to the bottom of the capsule, so as to make the latter unmountable from the outside of the instrument. writing, a user can no longer unscrew the capsule by seeking to rotate the latter relative to the housing of the writing instrument. Such a construction advantageously prevents any untimely opening of the capsule by action on the central screw. The reliability and sealing of the writing instrument containing the watch movement are thus improved.

Selon une caractéristique technique particulière de l'invention, le fond est fixé au corps de la capsule au niveau d'un axe central.According to a particular technical characteristic of the invention, the base is fixed to the body of the capsule at the level of a central axis.

Selon une autre caractéristique technique particulière de l'invention, le fond est fixé au corps de la capsule au moyen d'une vis centrale, laquelle vis est vissée dans l'axe central.According to another particular technical characteristic of the invention, the base is fixed to the body of the capsule by means of a central screw, which screw is screwed into the central axis.

Avantageusement, les au moins deux pied-vis sont répartis angulairement à intervalles réguliers autour de l'axe central. Ceci permet d'équilibrer les efforts mécaniques pour la fixation de la capsule sur l'extrémité du carter.Advantageously, the at least two foot screws are distributed angularly at regular intervals around the central axis. This makes it possible to balance the mechanical forces for fixing the capsule to the end of the casing.

Selon une caractéristique technique particulière de l'invention, chaque pied-vis comprend une tête et un corps, la tête reposant contre le fond de la capsule, à l'intérieur de ladite capsule.According to a particular technical characteristic of the invention, each screw foot comprises a head and a body, the head resting against the bottom of the capsule, inside said capsule.

Selon une autre caractéristique technique particulière de l'invention, le corps de chaque pied-vis fait saillie depuis le fond de la capsule, vers l'extérieur de la capsule, et coopère avec un logement correspondant ménagé dans ladite extrémité du carter.According to another particular technical characteristic of the invention, the body of each screw foot protrudes from the bottom of the capsule, towards the outside of the capsule, and cooperates with a corresponding housing provided in said end of the housing.

Avantageusement, l'axe central est muni sur son pourtour d'au moins deux encoches, chaque encoche présentant une forme complémentaire de celle d'une desdites têtes de pied-vis, chaque tête de pied-vis étant logée dans une encoche correspondante de l'axe central. Ceci permet de renforcer le verrouillage mécanique de la capsule sur le carter de l'instrument d'écriture, pour éviter toute ouverture intempestive de la capsule. Une telle construction permet en outre d'indexer la capsule par rapport au carter de l'instrument d'écriture.Advantageously, the central axis is provided on its periphery with at least two notches, each notch having a shape complementary to that of one of said screw foot heads, each screw foot head being housed in a corresponding notch of the central axis. This makes it possible to reinforce the mechanical locking of the capsule on the housing of the writing instrument, to prevent any untimely opening of the capsule. Such a construction also makes it possible to index the capsule relative to the housing of the writing instrument.

Selon une caractéristique technique particulière de l'invention, le carter comporte un capuchon de fermeture de l'instrument d'écriture, ladite extrémité du carter étant formée par l'extrémité du capuchon.According to a particular technical characteristic of the invention, the casing comprises a cap for closing the writing instrument, said end of the casing being formed by the end of the cap.

Selon un exemple de réalisation particulier de l'invention, les moyens de fixation comprennent trois vis et trois pied-vis correspondants.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the fixing means comprise three screws and three corresponding screw feet.

Selon une caractéristique technique particulière de l'invention, le mouvement horloger comporte une couronne de remontoir qui s'étend à l'extérieur du corps de la capsule. Ceci permet de remonter et/ou régler le mouvement horloger manuellement depuis l'extérieur de l'instrument d'écriture, sans devoir désolidariser pour ce faire la capsule du carter.According to a particular technical characteristic of the invention, the watch movement comprises a winding crown which extends outside the body of the capsule. This makes it possible to wind and / or adjust the watch movement manually from outside the writing instrument, without having to separate the capsule from the casing in order to do this.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

La figure 1 représente un instrument d'écriture 1 comprenant un carter 2. L'instrument d'écriture 1 est typiquement un stylo, par exemple un stylo plume, et le carter 2 comprend alors deux parties 2a, 2b correspondant respectivement au capuchon de fermeture et au corps du stylo. Le capuchon 2a et le corps 2b du stylo 1 se vissent ou s'emboîtent l'un dans l'autre de manière classique.The figure 1 shows a writing instrument 1 comprising a housing 2. The writing instrument 1 is typically a pen, for example a pen nib, and the casing 2 then comprises two parts 2a, 2b corresponding respectively to the closure cap and to the body of the pen. The cap 2a and the body 2b of the pen 1 screw or fit into each other in a conventional manner.

L'instrument d'écriture 1 comprend également une capsule 4 agencée pour recevoir un mouvement horloger 6, un tel mouvement horloger 6 étant visible sur les figures 4 et 6. La capsule 4 contenant le mouvement horloger 6 forme ainsi un garde-temps visible pour un utilisateur de l'instrument d'écriture 1. Pour ce faire, la capsule 4 comporte par exemple sur son pourtour un rouleau cylindrique 8 indicatif de l'heure et/ou de la date. Le rouleau cylindrique 8 est par exemple agencé dans un anneau 10 transparent ou semi-transparent, typiquement un anneau 10 en saphir.The writing instrument 1 also comprises a capsule 4 arranged to receive a watch movement 6, such a watch movement 6 being visible on the figures 4 and 6 . The capsule 4 containing the horological movement 6 thus forms a timepiece visible to a user of the writing instrument 1. To do this, the capsule 4 comprises for example on its periphery a cylindrical roller 8 indicative of the time and / or the date. The cylindrical roller 8 is for example arranged in a transparent or semi-transparent ring 10, typically a sapphire ring 10.

Le mouvement 6 peut être de construction usuelle, par exemple un mouvement mécanique de forme circulaire. En variante, tout type de mouvement mécanique peut être utilisé. Comme visible sur les figures 4 à 6, le mouvement 6 comporte de préférence une couronne de remontoir 11 qui s'étend à l'extérieur du corps 12 de la capsule 4.The movement 6 can be of usual construction, for example a mechanical movement of circular shape. As a variant, any type of mechanical movement can be used. As visible on the figures 4 to 6 , the movement 6 preferably comprises a winding crown 11 which extends outside the body 12 of the capsule 4.

Le corps 12 de la capsule 4 définit un volume intérieur 14 pour recevoir le mouvement horloger 6. Comme illustré sur les figures 2 à 6, le corps 12 est pourvu à une de ses extrémités d'un fond 16 avec des moyens de fixation 18 pour solidariser la capsule 4 sur une extrémité du carter 2. Dans le cas où l'instrument d'écriture 1 est un stylo, comme dans l'exemple illustratif de la figure 1, l'extrémité du capuchon 2a du stylo forme l'extrémité du carter 2 et le fond 16 de la capsule 4 est fixé sur cette extrémité du capuchon 2a, à l'opposé de son ouverture recevant le corps 2b du stylo.The body 12 of the capsule 4 defines an interior volume 14 for receiving the watch movement 6. As illustrated in the figures. figures 2 to 6 , the body 12 is provided at one of its ends with a base 16 with fixing means 18 for securing the capsule 4 on one end of the casing 2. In the case where the writing instrument 1 is a pen, such as in the illustrative example of figure 1 , the end of the cap 2a of the pen forms the end of the housing 2 and the bottom 16 of the cap 4 is fixed to this end of the cap 2a, opposite its opening receiving the body 2b of the pen.

Le corps 12 de la capsule 4 peut en outre comporter une carrure 20. Le mouvement horloger 6 est alors reçu dans un logement défini par la carrure 20, lequel logement correspond au volume intérieur 14. Le logement est typiquement cylindrique et centré sur l'axe de révolution du carter 2, sans que cela ne soit limitatif dans le cadre de la présente invention. De préférence, comme visible sur les figures 1 et 4 à 6, la carrure 20 est par exemple fermée par une glace supérieure 22, typiquement une glace saphir, permettant de rendre visible le mouvement horloger 6 et/ou un élément décoratif depuis l'extérieur de l'instrument 1. La carrure 20 est typiquement de forme annulaire, sans que cela ne soit limitatif dans le cadre de la présente invention.The body 12 of the capsule 4 can also include a middle part 20. The watch movement 6 is then received in a housing defined by the middle part 20, which housing corresponds to the internal volume 14. The housing is typically cylindrical and centered on the axis. of revolution of the housing 2, without this being limiting in the context of the present invention. Of preference, as visible on the figures 1 and 4 to 6 , the middle part 20 is for example closed by an upper crystal 22, typically a sapphire crystal, making it possible to make visible the watch movement 6 and / or a decorative element from the outside of the instrument 1. The middle part 20 is typically shaped annular, without this being limiting in the context of the present invention.

Le fond 16 est fixé d'une part sur une extrémité du carter 2 et d'autre part au corps 12 de la capsule 4. De préférence, et comme illustré sur les figures 2, 3 et 6, le fond 16 est fixé au corps 12 de la capsule 4 au niveau d'un axe central 24. De préférence encore, le fond 16 est fixé à l'axe central 24 au moyen d'une vis centrale 26 vissée dans l'axe central 24.The base 16 is fixed on the one hand on one end of the housing 2 and on the other hand to the body 12 of the capsule 4. Preferably, and as illustrated in the figures 2 , 3 and 6 , the bottom 16 is fixed to the body 12 of the capsule 4 at the level of a central axis 24. More preferably, the bottom 16 is fixed to the central axis 24 by means of a central screw 26 screwed in the axis central 24.

L'axe central 24 est de préférence muni sur son pourtour d'au moins deux encoches 28, se présentant par exemple sous la forme d'évidements en quart de cercle. Comme visible sur la figure 2 dans laquelle le rouleau cylindrique 8 a été omis, l'axe central 24 comprend par exemple trois encoches 28 sur son pourtour. Les trois encoches 28 sont de préférence réparties angulairement à intervalles réguliers sur l'axe 24.The central axis 24 is preferably provided on its periphery with at least two notches 28, for example in the form of quarter-circle recesses. As visible on the figure 2 in which the cylindrical roller 8 has been omitted, the central axis 24 comprises for example three notches 28 on its periphery. The three notches 28 are preferably distributed angularly at regular intervals on the axis 24.

Les moyens de fixation 18 comprennent au moins deux vis 30 et au moins deux pied-vis 32 correspondants. Dans l'exemple de réalisation particulier représenté sur les figures 2 à 6, les moyens de fixation 18 comprennent trois vis 30 et trois pied-vis 32 correspondants. Chaque pied-vis 32 est solidaire du fond 16 de la capsule 4, et fait saillie à l'extérieur de celle-ci. De préférence, et comme visible sur les figures 2 et 3, les pied-vis 32 sont répartis angulairement à intervalles réguliers autour de l'axe central 24. Chaque vis 30 est agencée pour être vissée dans un des pied-vis 32 depuis l'extrémité du carter 2 sur laquelle la capsule 4 est fixée, de sorte que la capsule 4 soit indémontable depuis l'extérieur de l'instrument d'écriture 1.The fixing means 18 comprise at least two screws 30 and at least two corresponding screw feet 32. In the particular embodiment shown in the figures 2 to 6 , the fixing means 18 comprise three screws 30 and three corresponding screw feet 32. Each screw foot 32 is integral with the bottom 16 of the capsule 4, and protrudes outside the latter. Preferably, and as visible on the figures 2 and 3 , the foot screws 32 are angularly distributed at regular intervals around the central axis 24. Each screw 30 is arranged to be screwed into one of the foot screws 32 from the end of the housing 2 on which the capsule 4 is fixed, so that the capsule 4 cannot be removed from the outside of the writing instrument 1.

Chaque pied-vis 32 comprend par exemple une tête 34 et un corps 36. Comme illustré sur les figures 2 et 6, la tête 34 de chaque pied-vis 32 repose contre le fond 16 de la capsule 4, à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Le corps 36 de chaque pied-vis 32 fait saillie depuis le fond 16 de la capsule 4, vers l'extérieur de celle-ci. Comme visible sur la figure 3, le corps 36 de chaque pied-vis 32 coopère avec un logement 38 correspondant ménagé dans l'extrémité du carter 2 sur laquelle la capsule 4 est fixée. Chaque vis 30 est ainsi introduite dans un des logements 38 depuis l'extrémité du carter 2, puis vissée dans un des pied-vis 32 correspondants.Each screw foot 32 comprises for example a head 34 and a body 36. As illustrated in the figures 2 and 6 , the head 34 of each screw foot 32 rests against the bottom 16 of the capsule 4, inside the latter. The body 36 of each screw foot 32 protrudes from the bottom 16 of the capsule 4, towards the outside of the latter. As visible on the figure 3 , the body 36 of each screw foot 32 cooperates with a corresponding housing 38 formed in the end of the housing 2 on which the capsule 4 is fixed. Each screw 30 is thus introduced into one of the housings 38 from the end of the casing 2, then screwed into one of the corresponding screw feet 32.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation préférentiel selon lequel l'axe central 24 est muni sur son pourtour d'encoches 28, les encoches 28 présentent chacune une forme complémentaire de celle des têtes 34 de pied-vis 32. Comme visible sur la figure 2, chaque tête 34 de pied-vis 32 est alors logée dans une des encoches 28. Ceci permet de renforcer le verrouillage mécanique de la capsule 4 sur le carter 2 de l'instrument d'écriture 1, ainsi que d'indexer la capsule 4 par rapport au carter 2.In the preferred embodiment, according to which the central axis 24 is provided on its periphery with notches 28, the notches 28 each have a shape complementary to that of the heads 34 of the screw foot 32. As visible on the figure. figure 2 , each head 34 of the screw foot 32 is then housed in one of the notches 28. This makes it possible to reinforce the mechanical locking of the capsule 4 on the casing 2 of the writing instrument 1, as well as to index the capsule 4 relative to the housing 2.
