Definitions
- TITLE WATCH WITH VARIABLE DIAL
- the invention relates to a watch with a variable dial, more precisely, a watch offering its wearer the possibility of partially changing the appearance of the dial.
- Watches have been known for a long time, from document EP 61519, the front face of which can be changed by removing, turning over or interchanging the rings surrounding the hands and bearing different numbers.
- the aim of the invention is to provide a watch whose appearance can be changed by partially modifying the color, material and / or relief of the dial of this watch.
- this object is achieved by a watch conforming to the following point 1:
- points 2 to 11 below Advantageous characteristics of the watch from point 1 above are indicated in points 2 to 11 below: 2.- Watch according to point 1, in which the hubcaps can be inserted in turn into the opening, when one of the hubcaps is in the opening, the other or others is / are behind the dial. 3.- Watch according to point 1 or 2, in which each support arm can pivot from a lowered position to a raised position.
- the pivoting means comprise a spring, a frustoconical part and a retaining ring, clamping arms, a fastening part for the clamping arms, a lever connected to the clamping arms and to the winding stem and an axis connecting the two clamping arms to each other and to the lever.
- FIG. 1 the front side of the dial of a watch according to the invention
- FIG. 2 a section along line A-A of the watch according to the invention, the dial of which is shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 a top view of the inside of the watch according to the invention, after removal of the dial;
- FIG. 4 a section along line B-B of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 a section, along line C-C, parallel to the plane of the dial showing a detail of the watch according to the invention
- FIG. 6 another section, along line D-D, parallel to the plane of the dial showing another detail of the watch according to the invention.
- FIG. 7 a section perpendicular to the plane of the dial and passing through the center of the latter, that is to say parallel to the main axis of the watch according to the invention.
- variable dial watch according to the invention is shown in Figures 1 to 7.
- the watch according to the invention comprises a dial 1 provided with at least one bezel, in this case four bezels 2, 3, 4 and 5 visible in FIG. 1 and which removably occupy four corresponding openings, two of which are only, numbered 6 and 7, associated respectively with trims 3 and 5, appear in figure 2.
- the hubcaps can all have the same color or have different colors and / or identical or different surface states (reliefs, textures). Their precise shape does not matter, provided that their upper face can occupy an opening in its entirety with the exception of a functional play necessary to allow the entry and exit of the trim in this opening.
- the hubcaps are generally parallelepipedal. But they could also be circular, oval, triangular, etc. Their thickness does not matter. They can protrude from the plane of dial 1, but in a limited manner, so as not to prevent the passage of the hands of the watch. Of course, the shape of the opening corresponds to the shape of the hubcap.
- the bezels can be removed from the openings which they occupy to be replaced by other bezels which are invisible to the wearer of the watch from the front side of the dial.
- These other hubcaps normally have different colors and / or surface conditions.
- the watch comprises a plurality of supporting arms arranged radially, each end of the supporting arm situated on the circumference bearing a cover.
- the hubcaps 3 and 5 of FIG. 2 are carried respectively by support arms 9 and 10.
- All the supporting arms can pivot from a lowered position, where they are concealed by the dial, to a raised position.
- all hubcaps can switch from a lowered position to a raised position.
- the free ends 12,13 of the supporting arms 9,10 visible in FIG. 2, are located near the center of the frustoconical part 11.
- the supporting arms 9,10 have points of pivoting 14,15 located between the free ends 12,13 and those carrying the hubcaps 3.5.
- the pivot points 14,15 are formed between the upper face of the frustoconical part 11 and a retaining ring 16, which can be seen better in FIG. 3, which is fixed, for example by screwing, on the upper face of the frustoconical part 11, leaving a space for the supporting arms 9,10.
- the axial displacement of the frustoconical part 11 takes place under the action of the spring 19, but it is controlled by two clamping arms 20,21 visible in FIG. 5.
- These clamping arms 20,21 preferably have a straight part extending through a curved part in order to reduce the angular displacement of the clamping arms 20,21 necessary to clamp the cylindrical part 11.
- the two clamping arms 20,21 in fact cooperate to exert a clamping on the frustoconical part 11.
- the free ends of the clamping arms 20, 21 are fixed to a fastening part 22 integral with the frame of the watch.
- the straight parts of the clamping arms 20, 21 cross approximately in their centers and, at their intersection, they each comprise an oblong hole traversed by an axis 24 integral with one end of a lever 25, the other end of this lever 25 being pivotally mounted on the fixing part 22.
- Between these two ends of the lever 25 is connected the winding stem 26 of the watch. Therefore, when pulling on this winding stem 26, the lever 25 is also pulled and the end of the latter carrying the axis 24 moves the latter inside the oblong holes of the arms 20,21 .
- the end of the winding stem 26 opposite to that where the crown is driven is provided with a sliding pinion (not shown) which can mesh with a gear train 27 visible in FIG. 6 and cooperating with a finger (not shown). shown) rotating a toothed wheel 28 made integral by two pins 29,30 of the frustoconical part 11.
- the rotation of the toothed wheel 28 braked by the jumper 31, drives that of the entire carousel 8 comprising, in addition to this toothed wheel 28, the frustoconical part 11, the supporting arms 9,10 carrying the hubcaps 3.5, the other arms / hubcaps, and retaining ring 16.
- the jumper 31 preferably has sufficient thickness to allow it to remain in contact with the toothed wheel 28 when the latter rises and descends integrally with the frustoconical part 11.
- the jumper 31 allows the toothed wheel 28 to be in a position. correct angular to cooperate with the finger which is provided to drive it in rotation.
- an immobilizing pin 32 visible in FIG. 7 is provided on the upper face of the frustoconical part 11 to engage in a bore provided in correspondence on the rear side of the dial 1 and prevent the carousel 8 from rotating.
