Abstract

Technical sector : horological microelectronics and micromechanics, jewellery. Crystal watch, or transparent watch (except for the hands). The invention relates to a watch having the feature that only the hands are visible, the dial being completely translucent. It consists of a crystal 1, of a mechanism on the axis 2, of 2 hands 3, and of a glass 4. The characteristic of this invention is that the mechanism of the watch is reduced over its axis and that its components are placed in a cylinder which is as slender as the diameter of the base of the hands.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Titre de l'invention: MONTRE CRISTAL.DESCRIPTION
Title of the invention: CRYSTAL WATCH.

Titre indicatif fantaisiste ou commercial: " La montre JOY, la montre spécialement étudiée pour les femmes, la seule qui soit vraiment transparente". Fanciful or commercial indicative title: "The JOY watch, the watch specially designed for women, the only one that is truly transparent".

Domaine technique de l'invention: Micromécanique et microélectronique horlogère, joaillerie, verre cristal.Technical field of the invention: Watchmaking micromechanics and microelectronics, jewelry, crystal glass.

Problème technique posé: Garder la transparence d'un cristal qui donne ltheure. Technical problem: Keeping the transparency of a time-giving crystal.

La PENDULE Crital existe mais pas une montre. Actuellement, et vis à vis d'une montre électronique, à aiguilles et transparente, la limpidité du boitier ne permet malheureusement rien d'autre que d'entrevoire toute la mécanique... The Crital PENDULUM exists but not a watch. Currently, and vis-à-vis an electronic watch, with needles and transparent, the limpidity of the case unfortunately does not allow anything other than to cover all the mechanics ...

L'état de la technique antérieure est resté à un mécanisme de montre à "plat", c' est à dire où tout les éléments la constituant ( quartz, moteur, circuit, etc) sont placés les uns à cotés des autres sur un plan et inscrits dans le cadran. The state of the prior art has remained to a "flat" watch mechanism, that is to say where all the elements constituting it (quartz, motor, circuit, etc.) are placed next to each other on a plane and inscribed in the dial.

Exposé de l'invention: Mécanisme de montre dans l'axe.Disclosure of the invention: Watch mechanism in the axis.

La caractéristique principale de cette invention est que les composants sont placés les uns sur les autres dans un cylindre aussi réduit que possible. The main feature of this invention is that the components are placed on top of each other in as small a cylinder as possible.

Actuellement, il mesure 6 mm de diamètre pour 9 mm d'épaisseur.Currently, it measures 6 mm in diameter and 9 mm in thickness.

Une autre caractéristique est que la forme hyperbolique des aiguilles cache par leures bases circulaires le mécanisme sur son axe; le cristal est le consti -tuant du cadran de la montre. Another characteristic is that the hyperbolic shape of the hands hides by their circular bases the mechanism on its axis; crystal is the constituent of the watch face.

Une autre encore est que le circuit imprimé est réduit à l'essentiel: Quartz et circuit intégré.On peut noter l'absence de trimmer. I1 permet de plus, en ap -puyant sur le fond arrière de la montre, par simple pression sur le couvercle de pile, un contact de remise à l'heure électronique... Yet another is that the printed circuit is reduced to the essentials: Quartz and integrated circuit. We can note the absence of trimmer. I1 also allows, by pressing on the back of the watch, by simple pressure on the battery cover, an electronic reset time contact ...

Le microréducteur ( boitier de roues et de pignons) détermine un déplacement des aiguilles proportionnel au déplacement du moteur, lui même régulé par le circuit intégré. Sur le modèle proposé ( voir dessin), le déplacement de 1/3 de minute sur le cadran de l'aiguille des minutes correspond à 1/8.de tour du moteur, et à une impulsion toutes les 20 secondes du circuit. Il n'y a pas de rrotteuse, on ne vit pas à la seconde près... The micro-reducer (casing of wheels and pinions) determines a displacement of the needles proportional to the displacement of the motor, itself regulated by the integrated circuit. On the proposed model (see drawing), the movement of 1/3 of a minute on the dial of the minute hand corresponds to 1/8 of a revolution of the engine, and to one pulse every 20 seconds of the circuit. There is no rotteuse, we don't live to the second ...

Après assemblage avec le cristal, elle peut être montée en collier, pendulette, montre bracelet, bouchon de parfum, etc. After assembly with the crystal, it can be mounted as a necklace, pendulum clock, wristwatch, perfume stopper, etc.

Présentation du dessin: 3 figures, 1 planche. Presentation of the drawing: 3 figures, 1 plate.

La marque et l'origine inscrites sur le cadran ne sont qu'une suggestion du positionnement horaire de 6 heures. Les chiffres correspondants aux heures sont ainsi suggérés mais peuvent aussi être inscrits sur le cristal. La montre "souri" et laisse passer la lumière du soleil; C'est le matin, il est dix heures dix. The brand and the origin written on the dial are only a suggestion of the 6 o'clock hour positioning. The figures corresponding to the hours are thus suggested but can also be inscribed on the crystal. The watch "smiles" and lets in the sunlight; It's morning, it's ten past ten.

Le dessin présenté ne comporte qu'une seule Dlanche. Il est succeptihle de modifications de cotes suivant les constructeurs.The drawing presented has only one Slab. It is subject to modifications of dimensions according to the manufacturers.

Mode de réalisation: Les composants existants déjà sur le marché, le mode de réalisation se fera uniquement sur le montage et l'assemblage de ceux-ci. La fabrication en série de ces montres est comparable à la fabrication des montres à quartz traditionnelles, et peut déboucher sur des applications industrielles suivant les marchés commerciaux. Mode of realization: The existing components already on the market, the mode of realization will be done only on the assembly and the assembly of these. The mass production of these watches is comparable to the manufacture of traditional quartz watches, and can lead to industrial applications depending on the commercial markets.
