Definitions

  • the invention relates to an orientable screw-down crown for a watch case comprising a middle part with at least one through housing for receiving said orientable screw-down crown, which orientable screw-down crown is arranged to cooperate with said housing and seal it in a watertight manner, said orientable screwed crown comprising a pattern on one end face or in its vicinity, said orientable screwed crown comprising, movable axially in an axial direction relative to each other, on the one hand a subassembly comprising a crown body manipulatable by a user and comprising said pattern, and on the other hand a tube arranged to be screwed or driven into said housing in said axial direction.
  • the invention also relates to a watch case, comprising a middle part with at least one through housing for receiving such an orientable screw-down crown.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising such a box.
  • the invention also relates to a method of assembling such an orientable screwed crown.
  • the invention also relates to a method of mounting such an orientable screw-down crown on a watch case.
  • Screw-down crowns are commonly used to equip watches with the aim of improving their watertightness at the level of the passage of a control member, such as a winding or control stem.
  • This type of crown has the particularity of being able to take an unscrewed position in which the watch can be wound, set the time, adjusted, or other, and a screwed position in which the crown is screwed and locked on a driven or screwed tube in the middle of the watch case in order to compress a seal, thus improving the watertightness of the watch.
  • the screwed position is therefore the one which corresponds to the normal position when the watch is worn and which is always approximately the same, except for wear of the seal.
  • the invention aims in particular to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
  • an objective of the invention is to provide an orientable screw-down crown adaptable to any watch case comprising a crown housing, for the orientation of this screw-down crown, produced according to a simple and economical construction.
  • the invention also aims to provide an orientable screwed crown that is more reliable than existing ones.
  • the invention relates to an orientable screwed crown according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a watch case, comprising a middle part with at least one through housing for receiving such an orientable screw-down crown.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising such a box.
  • the invention also relates to a method of assembling such an orientable screwed crown.
  • the invention also relates to a method of mounting such an orientable screw-down crown on a watch case.
  • the invention relates to an adjustable screw-down crown 200 for a watch case 100.
  • This box 100 conventionally has a middle part 9, with at least one through housing 90 for receiving the adjustable screw-down crown 200.
  • This adjustable screwed crown 200 is arranged to cooperate with the housing 90 and seal it in a watertight manner.
  • the adjustable screwed crown 200 has a pattern 19 on an end face 18 or in its vicinity.
  • This orientable screwed crown 200 comprises, movable axially in an axial direction D relative to each other, on the one hand a subassembly 20 comprising a crown body 1 which can be manipulated by a user and comprising the pattern 19, and on the other hand a tube 11.
  • This tube 11 is arranged to be screwed or driven into the housing 90 in the axial direction D.
  • the subassembly 20 comprises, integral with the crown body 1, an indexing relief 15 which extends in the axial direction D, and which is and arranged to, in an engaged position, cooperate so complementary with a complementary indexing relief 55 which comprises a fixed barrel 5, which the subassembly 20 comprises.
  • This complementary indexing relief 55 also extends in the axial direction D, and this fixed barrel 5 tends to be pushed back of the crown body 1 by at least one crown spring 12 interposed and mounted prisoner between the crown body 1 and the fixed barrel 5 which it tends to move away from each other.
  • the crown spring 12 is here, without limitation, a conical spring or in a cup. In the absence of manipulation by the user, the crown spring 12 tends to move the crown body 1 away from the fixed barrel 5.
  • the indexing relief 15 is arranged to, in a disengaged position by compression of the crown spring 12, remain at an axial distance from the complementary indexing relief 55 and without cooperation with it.
  • the cooperation between the indexing relief 15 and the complementary indexing relief 55 in the engaged position defines a discrete number of relative indexing positions corresponding to as many relative orientations of the pattern 19 with respect to the box 100.
  • the subassembly 20 and the tube 11 are arranged to cooperate by screwing up to a stop position, which corresponds to a completely screwed position of the subassembly 20 in the tube 11.
  • the subassembly 20 comprises an axial stopping means 3, which is fixed to the crown body 1 to imprison axially, in the axial direction D, the subassembly 20 with an axial stroke corresponding to the deformation range of the crown spring 12 to authorize disengagement, by compression of the crown body 1, between the indexing relief 15 and the complementary indexing relief 55.
  • the subassembly 20 comprises a movable barrel 10 comprising fixing means 101 arranged for fixing the orientable screwed crown 200 to a control member housed in a box 100.
  • This movable barrel 10 is movable axially in the direction axial D against elastic return means 6, in particular a barrel spring, which is a helical spring in the variant illustrated by the figures, in a chamber 105 defined on the one hand by the fixed barrel 5 and on the other leaves by a pin 4 secured to the crown body 1, and in which chamber 105 the mobile barrel 10 is mounted prisoner.
  • This pin 4 can be permanently fixed to the crown body 1, by laser welding 140, or otherwise.
  • subassembly 20 cannot be dismantled.
  • the fixed barrel 5 fixed inside the crown body 1 comprises a thread 51, which is arranged to cooperate with a thread 111 which the tube 11 comprises.
  • the indexing relief 15 and the complementary indexing relief 55 comprise complementary grooves.
  • the axial stopping means 3 comprises an annular ring with an internal flange comprising a front abutment support surface 33 substantially perpendicular to the axial direction D, and which is arranged to cooperate in abutment support with a front surface complementary stop support 53 which comprises an external flange 2 which the fixed barrel 5 comprises.
  • the crown body 1 carries a second axial stopping means 9, which is arranged to directly or indirectly hold the axial stopping means 3 in the crown body 1. More particularly, this second axial stopping means 9 is arranged to indirectly hold the axial stopping means 3 in the crown body 1, through at least one spacer 7 housed in the crown body 1. This spacer 7 can be permanently fixed to the crown body 1 , for example by laser welding 137 or the like. More particularly, the second axial stopping means 9 is arranged to indirectly hold the axial stopping means 3 in the crown body 1 through at least one seal 8, which is arranged to cooperate with a surface of joint support 118 which the tube 11 comprises and which is arranged to compress the seal 8 in the completely screwed position of the subassembly 20 in the tube 11.
  • This joint support surface 118 is preferably oblique by relative to the axial direction D, and is in particular a conical surface.
  • the crown body 1 comprises at least one internal annular groove 91 for receiving the second axial stopping means 9, which is in particular but not limited to constituted by a circlip, as visible on the figure 1 .
  • This groove 91 can also result from a folding rolling of a thread provided at the end of the crown body 1, after the assembly of this circlip 9.
  • the crown spring 12 comprises at least one conical spring and/or at least one “Belleville” washer and/or at least one “Schnorr” washer.
  • the indexing relief 15 is carried by a pin 4 which is integral with the crown body 1, and interior to said fixed barrel 5.
  • the invention also relates to a watch case 100, comprising a middle part 9 with at least one through housing 90 for receiving such an orientable screw-down crown 200.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch 1000, comprising such a box 100.
