Definitions

  • the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a watch case and a covering element which allows rapid customization.
  • the watch box described above has several disadvantages. First of all, we will mention the numerous parts to be assembled, which leads to an increase in manufacturing costs. In addition, assembly requires several steps, which leads to an increase in manufacturing time. Finally, we will observe that decorative pieces require specific treatments depending on the aesthetic effect desired by the wearer, which implies the storage of numerous references.
  • An objective of the invention is to provide a customizable watch easily and quickly.
  • the invention also aims, at least in one particular embodiment, to provide a covering element which is simple to implement, easy to assemble and inexpensive.
  • the object of the present invention through its various functional and structural aspects described above, makes it possible to obtain an easily customizable watch.
  • a watch 100 according to an exemplary embodiment will now be described in the following with joint reference to the figures 1 , 2 And 3 .
  • the general principle of the invention is based on the use of a timepiece 100 comprising a watch case 10 formed by a middle part 1 closed by a back 2 and a crystal 3, the middle part 1 being provided with horns 4, 4' defining a space 40, 40', or a connection zone, for receiving a strand of bracelet 5, said timepiece comprising a sole 6 arranged to rest against the bottom 2, the sole 6, the strand bracelet 5 and the space between the horns 40, 40' comprising shaped elements arranged to cooperate by interlocking when the middle part 1, the sole 6 and the strand are assembled 5.
  • the middle part 1 comprises, in a conventional manner, at 6:00 and 12:00 a pair of horns 4 for fixing a strand of a bracelet strand.
  • the space between the horns 40, 40' comprises a first shaped element 41 having at least one element 410 which projects from the watch case, and has an oblique contact surface 412 arranged to cooperate with the sole 6.
  • These protruding elements 410 can be compared to a pair of internal horns for example.
  • the protruding element 410 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane of the case so that the bracelet strand adapts correctly to the curvature of the wearer's wrist when the watch is worn.
  • the sole 6 comprises a second shaped element 42, conforming to the shape of the space between the horns 40, 40', the second shaped element 42 comprising at least one cutout 420 arranged to receive the at least one element 410 protruding from space between the horns when the sole is assembled against the bottom 2 of the middle part 1.
  • the sole 6 also comprises at least one housing 44 arranged to receive one end of the bracelet strand 5 during the assembly of the different elements, the wall 45 of the housing 44 having a shape complementary to that of the space 40, 40' and of at least one element 410.
  • the latter in order to provide a secure assembly and avoid any disconnection of the sole 6, the latter has holding studs 60 configured to cooperate with cavities 20 formed in the bottom 2, the studs also serving as a reference for the correct positioning of the sole in relation to the middle.
  • the retaining studs 60 each have a hook at their free end and the cavities 20 each have a retaining element cooperating with the hooks to ensure assembly by clipping.
  • the sole has an opening 61 to access the bottom of the watch case and change a battery for example.
  • the size of the opening can vary and have different uses; a person skilled in the art could provide a larger opening allowing a transparent background to be observed, for example.
  • the sole 6 presents, at the level of the cutouts, a stop 421 arranged to cooperate with the element 410.
  • the element 410 has a notch 411 cooperating with the stop 421, this assembly allowing both good positioning and good support of the sole 6 on the bottom 2 of the middle.
  • Such an arrangement thus makes it possible to mask the space between the horns 40, 40'. He is It is also possible to remove the stop 421 and assemble the sole 6 on the bottom 2 of the middle part, the interlocking at the level of the horns being sufficient to keep everything assembled.
  • the bracelet strand 5 comprises at one of its ends, or the end arranged to be connected to the watch case at the level of the horns, a third shaped element 43 having at least one space 50 arranged to cooperate with said at least element 410 projecting from the space 40, 40' between the horns, the material around the cutouts resting in the at least one housing 44.
  • the shaped elements 41, 42 and 43 comprise through orifices 7, the orifices 7 being aligned with each other when the middle part 1, the sole 6 and the strand 5 are assembled together, so as to form a channel 8 arranged to receive a bar 9 holding the middle 1, the sole 6 and the strand 5 assembled.
  • the bar 9 acts as a locking element once in place and prevents the assembly from coming apart.
  • the sole 6 and the bracelet strand 5 form a single monolithic element, the assembly then comprising the second shaped element and the whole is then fixed directly under the middle part 1.
  • the middle and the sole are made of an elastomeric material or plastic such as polycarbonate, PMMA or MABS, by means of injection molding for example.
  • elastomeric material or plastic such as polycarbonate, PMMA or MABS
  • Those skilled in the art would have no difficulty using other materials such as metals or metal alloys, ceramic materials.
  • the different watch elements may have a matte or polished appearance, or even transparent or opaque, a combination of these aspects being possible.
  • the bracelet strand is made of an elastomer-based material, leather, metal or ceramic.
  • the different elements namely the middle, the sole and the strap, may present different colors depending on the model of the watch.
  • the middle 1, sole 6 and strand 5 assembly makes it possible to obtain a plurality of customizable models depending on the color and/or appearance chosen.
  • the assembly of the watch is carried out as follows.
  • the operator mounts the sole 6 on the middle part 1 by fitting at the level of the space between the horns 40, 40' while ensuring that the holding studs 60 are positioned opposite the cavities 20 of the bottom 2 of the middle part 1.
  • the operator places the bracelet strand so as to fit the shaped elements 41, 42 and 43 and align the orifices 7 of the latter. Finally, the bar 9 is introduced into the channel 8 formed by the orifices to secure everything together.
