Brève description de la figureBrief description of the figure

L'invention sera décrite ci-après de manière plus détaillée à l'aide du dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif, dans lequel la figure unique représente une montre comprenant un cadran et un verre de montre selon un mode de réalisation.The invention will be described below in more detail with the aid of the appended drawing, given by way of non-limiting example, in which the single figure represents a watch comprising a dial and a watch glass according to one embodiment. .

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

La figure unique représente un mode de réalisation de présente invention sous la forme d'un verre de montre 100 disposé sur une montre 300 et plus en particulièrement sur un cadran de montre 200 comprenant au moins une indication 201 comme par exemple l'heure ou la minute.The single figure represents an embodiment of the present invention in the form of a watch glass 100 arranged on a watch 300 and more particularly on a watch dial 200 comprising at least one indication 201 such as for example the hour or the hour. minute.

Ledit verre de montre 100 de la présente invention comprend au moins une première chambre 110 dans laquelle au moins un premier élément mobile 210, typiquement une bille et de préférence en matériau ferromagnétique, peut se déplacer librement.Said watch glass 100 of the present invention comprises at least a first chamber 110 in which at least a first movable element 210 , typically a ball and preferably made of ferromagnetic material, can move freely.

Par « se déplacer librement », il convient de comprendre qu'il n'existe aucun obstacle au déplacement dudit au moins un premier élément mobile 210. En effet, ladite au moins une première chambre 110 est comprise entre ledit cadran de montre 200 avec au moins une indication 201 et au moins une paroi supérieure 101 distante dudit cadran de montre 200, c'est-à-dire qu'ils sont séparés par un espace, et au moins une paroi latérale.By “move freely”, it should be understood that there is no obstacle to the movement of said at least one first mobile element 210 . Indeed, said at least one first chamber 110 is included between said watch face 200 with at least one indication 201 and at least one top wall 101 remote from said watch face 200 , ie they are separated by a space, and at least one side wall.

Ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 est comprise entre ladite au moins une paroi supérieure 101 et ledit cadran de montre 200 d'une part, et d'autre part ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 entoure ladite au moins une première chambre 110, comme cela est représenté sur la figure unique, de sorte que ladite au moins une paroi supérieure 101 et ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 forment ladite au moins une première chambre 110.Said at least one side wall 102 is between said at least one upper wall 101 and said watch dial 200 on the one hand, and on the other hand said at least one side wall 102 surrounds said at least one first chamber 110 , as this is shown in the single figure, so that said at least one top wall 101 and said at least one side wall 102 form said at least one first chamber 110 .

Comme cela peut être observé sur la figure unique, ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 est plus épaisse que ladite au moins une paroi supérieure 101. En effet, l'épaisseur de ladite au moins une paroi supérieure 106 est plus faible que l'épaisseur de ladite au moins une paroi latérale 107.As can be seen in the single figure, said at least one side wall 102 is thicker than said at least one top wall 101 . Indeed, the thickness of said at least one top wall 106 is smaller than the thickness of said at least one side wall 107 .

Ainsi, la bille 201 ou les billes 201 sont confinées, autrement dit ledit au moins un premier élément mobile 210 est confiné dans un espace restreint, c'est-à-dire celui de ladite au moins une première chambre 110, ce qui limite sont déplacement et évite que ledit au moins un premier élément mobile 210 heurte un endroit du verre de montre 100 d'une part et d'autre part, et que le choc dudit au moins un premier élément mobile 210 sur le verre de montre 100 soit trop important.Thus, the ball 201 or the balls 201 are confined, in other words said at least one first movable element 210 is confined in a restricted space, that is to say that of said at least one first chamber 110 , which limits are movement and prevents said at least one first movable element 210 from hitting a place of the watch glass 100 on the one hand and on the other hand, and that the impact of said at least one first movable element 210 on the watch glass 100 is too important.

Ainsi, ces billes peuvent heurter le verre de montre 100 sans endommager le verre, puisque l'épaisseur de ladite au moins une paroi latérale 107 est assez importante pour dissiper l'énergie du choc dudit au moins un premier élément mobile 210, et cela ne nuit à l'aspect esthétique de la montre et donc ne peut dégrader la lisibilité des indications 201 du cadran.Thus, these balls can strike the watch glass 100 without damaging the glass, since the thickness of said at least one side wall 107 is large enough to dissipate the energy of the impact of said at least one first movable element 210 , and this does not harms the aesthetic appearance of the watch and therefore cannot degrade the readability of the indications 201 on the dial.

Il est également possible de prévoir autre indication sur le dit cadra de montre et pour ce faire ledit verre de montre 100 peut comprendre au moins une deuxième chambre 120 configurée pour comprendre au moins un deuxième élément mobile 220, typiquement une bille et de préférence en matériau ferromagnétique, et au moins une paroi périphérique 103 configurée pour former ladite au moins une deuxième chambre 120.It is also possible to provide another indication on said watch frame and to do this, said watch glass 100 may include at least one second chamber 120 configured to include at least one. second movable element 220 , typically a ball and preferably made of ferromagnetic material, and at least one peripheral wall 103 configured to form said at least one second chamber 120 .

Ladite au moins une paroi périphérique 103 comprend également une épaisseur, mais comme ladite au moins une paroi périphérique 103 forme ladite au moins une deuxième chambre 120 et que cette dernière, c'est-à-dire ladite au moins une deuxième chambre 120 entoure ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 et/ou ladite au moins une première chambre 110 et par conséquent ladite au moins une paroi périphérique 103 entoure ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 et/ou ladite au moins une deuxième chambre 120, de sorte que ledit au moins un deuxième élément mobile 220 est relativement limité dans ses déplacements en comparaison avec ledit au moins un premier élément mobile 210, puisque ledit au moins un deuxième élément mobile 220 est confiné dans un espace compris entre ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 et ladite au moins une paroi périphérique 103.Said at least one peripheral wall 103 also comprises a thickness, but as said at least one peripheral wall 103 forms said at least one second chamber 120 and that the latter, that is to say said at least one second chamber 120 surrounds said at least one side wall 102 and / or said at least one first chamber 110 and therefore said at least one peripheral wall 103 surrounds said at least one side wall 102 and / or said at least one second chamber 120 , so that said at least one second chamber 120 at least one second movable element 220 is relatively limited in its movements compared to said at least one first movable element 210, since said at least one second movable element 220 is confined in a space between said at least one side wall 102 and said au minus a peripheral wall 103 .

Bien évidemment, selon la géométrie que peut arborer ledit cadran de montre 200, la forme la plus évidente pour ladite au moins une paroi périphérique 103 est la forme circulaire car elle permet de dévier aisément la trajectoire de ladite au moins un deuxième élément mobile 220, mais lorsque ledit cadran de montre 200 comprend des lignes droites, il est naturel de disposer ladite au moins une paroi latérale 102 à l'extérieur de ladite montre 300 afin d'éviter que ledit au moins un premier élément mobile 210 n'inflige un impact trop au verre de montre 200 de par la longueur de sa trajectoire.Obviously, depending on the geometry that said watch dial 200 may display, the most obvious shape for said at least one peripheral wall 103 is the circular shape because it makes it possible to easily deviate the path of said at least one second mobile element 220 , but when said watch face 200 comprises straight lines, it is natural to dispose said at least one side wall 102 on the outside of said watch 300 in order to prevent said at least one first movable member 210 from inflicting an impact too much to the watch glass 200 by the length of its trajectory.

Un autre avantage qui peut être tiré de l'épaisseur de ladite au moins une paroi latérale 107 est l'effet loupe car étant plus épaisse que ladite au moins une paroi supérieure 101, l'épaisseur de ladite au moins une paroi latérale 107 permet d'obtenir de ladite au moins une indication 201 une image agrandie. Autrement dit, ladite au moins une paroi de séparation 102 a un effet loupe.Another advantage that can be derived from the thickness of said at least one side wall 107 is the magnifying effect because, being thicker than said at least one top wall 101 , the thickness of said at least one side wall 107 makes it possible to 'obtaining from said at least one indication 201 an enlarged image. In other words, said at least one partition wall 102 has a magnifying effect.

Ces différents modes de réalisations peuvent être mis en œuvre dans une montre 300 comprenant un cadran de montre 200, comme décrit précédemment.These different embodiments can be implemented in a watch 300 comprising a watch dial 200 , as described above.

Ladite montre 300 comprend au moins une première aiguille aimantée 310 située sous le cadran de montre 200 de sorte à déplacer ledit au moins un premier élément mobile 210 en matériau ferromagnétique à travers ledit cadran de montre 200 et au moins une deuxième aiguille aimantée 320 située aussi sous le cadran de montre 200 et pouvant également déplacer ledit au moins un deuxième élément mobile 220 en matériau ferromagnétique à travers ledit cadran de montre 200. Ainsi, les billes sont déplacées dans un espace restreint par l'intermédiaire des aiguilles aimantées de sorte à indiquer une information, comme par exemple l'heure ou les minutes, ce qui limite leurs déplacements et évite que les billes heurtent de manière simultanée un endroit du verre de montre 100 d'une part et d'autre part, et que le choc d'une des billes sur le verre de montre 100 soit trop important. Ainsi, ces billes peuvent heurter le verre de montre 100 sans endommager le verre et sans nuire à l'aspect esthétique de la montre et donc dégrader la lisibilité des indications 201 du cadran.Said watch 300 comprises at least one first magnetized hand 310 located under the watch dial 200 so as to move said at least one first movable element 210 made of ferromagnetic material through said watch dial 200 and at least one second magnetized hand 320 also located under the watch dial 200 and also able to move said at least one second movable element 220 made of ferromagnetic material through said watch dial 200 . Thus, the balls are moved in a small space by means of the magnetic hands so as to indicate information, such as for example the hour or the minutes, which limits their movements and prevents the balls simultaneously hitting a place. watch glass 100 on the one hand and on the other hand, and that the impact of one of the balls on the watch glass 100 is too great. Thus, these balls can strike the watch glass 100 without damaging the glass and without harming the aesthetic appearance of the watch and therefore degrading the readability of the indications 201 on the dial.
