Definitions

  • the invention relates to a timepiece, such as a wristwatch, whose movement is held inside the case by a shock-absorbing device used to protect the movement in case of shocks.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the aforementioned disadvantages by providing a timepiece comprising a shock-absorbing device for the movement and allowing for simplified assembly of the timepiece.
  • the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a case with a case closed at its upper end by a bezel and at its lower end by a case back, a watch movement, and a dial mounted against the case by means of a mounting ring.
  • the timepiece includes a shock-absorbing device for the watch movement.
  • the shock-absorbing device comprises an upper annular piece and a lower annular piece arranged to be assembled onto the assembly formed by the movement, the dial, and the mounting ring.
  • the upper and lower annular pieces each have a conical surface arranged to cooperate with at least one shoulder of the case or one shoulder of the case back, respectively.
  • the assembly of the timepiece comprises a minimal number of parts and thus adapts more easily to manufacturing variations of the different components while maintaining advanced technicality with, in particular, a chronograph, a date display, a mechanical movement, a transparent back and a plastic case.
  • a timepiece according to the invention comprises a case 2 closed, in its upper part, by a bezel 3 and, in its lower part, by a case back 4, a watch movement 5 and a dial 6 mounted against the case 2 by means of a casing ring 7.
  • the internal space of the case 2 defines a housing 6 in which is housed a shock-absorbing device for the watch movement, the shock-absorbing device comprising an upper annular piece 11 and a lower annular piece 12 arranged to be assembled on the assembly formed by the movement, the dial and the casing ring.
  • the case 2 is made of metal or metal alloy; however, any other type of material is possible, such as plastic or ceramic.
  • the bezel 3 and the case back 4 are also made of metal or metal alloy, and at least the bezel includes a crystal 30.
  • Movement 5 is preferably of the mechanical type, but a quartz movement could also be considered.
  • the case 2 is designed to receive the watch movement 5 by means of at least one shoulder 10 formed in its inner wall, the movement 5 being mounted on the shoulder 10 of the case 2 by means of the shock-absorbing device, the shock-absorbing device enveloping the movement, the dial and the casing ring 7.
  • the shock-absorbing device is designed to adapt the movement 5 against the internal wall of the case 2.
  • the casing ring 7 comprises a generally annular body formed by an upper part 70 and a lower part 71, the upper part being arranged to receive the dial and the lower part being arranged to receive the movement 5.
  • the upper part 70 has a larger diameter than the lower part 71 and thus forms a shoulder.
  • the upper part 70 has at least one notch 18 and a discontinuous peripheral rim 19' to orient and hold the dial 6 in place on the casing circle 7, the dial 6 also having lugs 60 resting against the edges of the notch 18.
  • the lower part has a groove 19 arranged to cooperate with a movement plate 50 to orient and hold the latter in place.
  • the shock-absorbing device comprises an upper annular piece 11 and a lower annular piece 12, each having a conical surface 15, 20 arranged to cooperate with a shoulder of the case 10 or a shoulder of the base 4.
  • the upper annular pieces 11 and lower annular pieces 12 are advantageously made of an elastomeric material such as natural or synthetic rubber in order to be able to absorb/dampen shocks.
  • the upper annular piece 11 includes on its outer lateral face means for orientation relative to the case 2.
  • the orientation means are in the form of tabs 13 forming a convex relief on the surface of the periphery of the upper annular piece 11, the tabs 13 being arranged to cooperate with recesses 13' of complementary shape formed on the inner wall of the case 2. It is therefore understood that the upper annular piece 11 is mounted against the case 2 and the conical surface 15 rests on the shoulder 10 of the case 2.
  • the upper annular piece 11 also includes means for orientation with respect to the ring of the socket 7, and implicitly with respect to the movement 5, the orientation means being in the form of at least one protruding element 14, formed on the inner lateral face of the annular piece 11, and arranged to cooperate with a cutout 17 of complementary shape at the level of the upper part of the ring of the socket 7.
  • the lower annular piece 12 includes at least one machined feature 22 on its outer lateral face, which is arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one projecting element 14 of the upper annular piece 11.
  • the lower annular piece 12 also includes an upper edge 21 arranged to rest against the upper part of the interlocking ring 7. It is therefore understood that the interlocking ring 7 and the dial 5 are clamped between the upper annular piece 11 and the lower annular piece 12 when the whole is assembled as shown in the diagram. figures 4a and 4b .
  • the upper annular piece 11 and the lower annular piece 12 each include a passage for a winding stem 51 so that the latter can be inserted during assembly.
  • a passage for a winding stem 51 can be provided for the passage of a pusher stem, for example.
  • the watch part includes a ring 8 arranged to be placed between the bottom 4 and the lower annular piece 12 to hold the shock-absorbing device once the watch bottom is assembled onto the case.
