Les deux lunettes, qui pourront etre accolees directement ou par l' intermediaire d'un poet, communiqueront entre elles par l' intermediaire d'un tunnel. Wiles vent en outre preparees interieurement (epaulement) pour permettre l'embo^tement etanche d'une premiere glace transparente. Au The two glasses, which can be attached directly or through a poet, will communicate with each other through a tunnel. Wiles are also prepared internally (shoulder) to allow the watertight fitting of the first transparent glass. At
sommet de chacune des lunettes, une deuxieme glace transparente sera posee. top of each of the glasses, a second transparent lens will be placed.
Ce systeme permet alors de creer un espace etanche a l'interieur meme du boitier, permettant la circulation de poudre, de grains ou de billes de metal ou This system then makes it possible to create a sealed space inside the case itself, allowing the circulation of powder, grains or metal balls or
de mineral ou encore d'un liquide entre les deux lunettes. mineral or liquid between the two glasses.
Le resultat de la manipulation du bo^tier est que le sablier entre en action. Le produit contenu dans l'espace constitue, rempli alors le The result of handling the housing is that the hourglass comes into action. The product contained in the space constitutes, then filled the
cadran inferieur, alors que le susjacent se vice sous l'effet de la gravite. lower dial, while the overlying is defective under the effect of gravity.
L'effet ainsi produit revelera progressivement l'heure inscrite dans la lunette superieure, alors que le produit contenu entre les deux glaces occultera la lecture de l'heure inscrite dans la lunette sousjacente. Les dessins annexes illustrent ['invention, pour cela nous prendrons l'exemple d'un bo^tier compose de deux anneaux reunis par un pont et muni de deux mouvements: La figure 1 represente le bo^tier complet avec cadrans, support et bracelet, The effect thus produced will gradually reveal the time written in the upper window, while the product contained between the two glasses will obscure the reading of the time written in the underlying window. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention, for this we will take the example of a case composed of two rings joined by a bridge and provided with two movements: Figure 1 represents the case complete with dials, support and bracelet ,
apres rotation de 90 .after rotation of 90.
La figure 2 represente le bo^tier vu de profil, sans support, sans fond. Figure 2 shows the cas ^ tier seen in profile, without support, bottomless.
La figure 3 represente le bo^tier complet, en position stable. Figure 3 shows the complete housing in a stable position.
La figure 4 represente une coupe longitudinale du bo^tier. Figure 4 shows a longitudinal section of the housing.
La figure 5 represente le support seul vu de face Figure 5 shows the support alone seen from the front
La figure 6 represente la coupe longitudinale du support vu de 3/4. Figure 6 shows the longitudinal section of the support seen from 3/4.
La figure 7 represente les differentes pieces du boitier et de son support vues de profil. Figure 7 shows the different parts of the case and its support seen in profile.
La figure 8 represente un fond de bo^tier vu de face. Figure 8 shows a case bottom seen from the front.
La figure 9 represente vue d'un fond de boitier de 3/4 haut. Figure 9 represents a bottom view of a 3/4 high box.
La figure 10 represente une coupe du mecanisme d'encliquetage. Figure 10 shows a section of the latching mechanism.
La figure 11 represente le roulement a bille du support. Figure 11 shows the ball bearing of the support.
Le bo^tier selon ['invention est particulierement destine a representer The housing according to the invention is particularly intended to represent
une montre bracelet, une pendule ou tout instrument d'horlogerie. a wristwatch, a pendulum or any horological instrument.
En reference a ces dessins, le bo^tier comporte une enveloppe (1) en metal ou plastique, combinant deux lunettes (A;B), communiquant entre elles grace a un tunnel (C). Les deux lunettes seront preparees, soit au moulage, soit par usinage de maniere a creer des epaulements (Da;Db;Ea;Eb) permettant d'accueillir des glaces transparentes (2a; 2b; 3a; 3b). L'espace etanche ainsi cree, constituera l'enveloppe du sablier qui sera rempli a moitie d'un produit (4) constitue de poudre, grains ou billes de metal ou de mineral ou encore d'un liquide. Chacune des lunettes comporte une encoche (11) a trots heure, pour With reference to these drawings, the casing comprises an envelope (1) of metal or plastic, combining two glasses (A; B), communicating with one another by means of a tunnel (C). The two glasses will be prepared, either for molding, or by machining so as to create shoulders (Da; Db; Ea; Eb) allowing to accommodate transparent glasses (2a; 2b; 3a; 3b). The watertight space thus created, will constitute the envelope of the hourglass which will be half filled with a product (4) consisting of powder, grains or beads of metal or mineral or of a liquid. Each of the glasses has a notch (11) at three o'clock, to
permettre le positionnement de la couronne de remontage et de mise a l'heure. allow positioning of the winding and time setting crown.
L'activation du sablier pourra se faire soit en inclinant le bo^tier dans un sens ou dans l'autre, soit en faisant pivoter le bo^tier autour de son axe taraude (5). Pour assurer une position stable au boAltier sur son support (6) tout en lui permettant un pivotement aise, deux trous au moins (F1;F2) vent taraudes de part et d ' autre de l' axe et parallelement a celui- ci. Ces trous accueilleront chacun un ressort (7a; 7b) qui pressera une bille d'encliquetage (8a;8b) a l'interieur d'une vis creuse (9a;9b). Le support est lui meme evide en son centre et par le teas, sur une profondeur inferieure a l'epaisseur du support et de maniere concentrique au passage (I) de l' axe du boitier. Cet evidement (G) est destine a accueillir un roulement a billes (10) permettant la rotation de l'axe du bo^tier. Sur la face superieure du support, de part et d'autre du passage de l'axe du bo^tier, au moins deux encoches semi- spheriques (H1;H2) servant de frein dans lesquelles la partie saillante des billes d'encliquetages viendra se loger The hourglass can be activated either by tilting the housing in one direction or the other, or by rotating the housing around its tap axis (5). To ensure a stable position for the housing on its support (6) while allowing it to pivot easily, at least two holes (F1; F2) are tapped on either side of the axis and parallel to it. These holes will each receive a spring (7a; 7b) which will press a catch ball (8a; 8b) inside a hollow screw (9a; 9b). The support is itself hollow in its center and through the teas, to a depth less than the thickness of the support and concentrically with the passage (I) of the axis of the case. This recess (G) is intended to accommodate a ball bearing (10) allowing the rotation of the axis of the housing. On the upper face of the support, on either side of the passage of the axis of the housing, at least two semi-spherical notches (H1; H2) serving as a brake in which the projecting part of the snap-on balls will come housing
parfaitement pour maintenir le bo^tier en position stable. perfectly to keep the housing in a stable position.
Pour recevoir les mouvements horlogers et leurs moyens d'affichage, deux fonds de bo^tes (12a; 12b) vent realises de maniere a venir s'encastrer a la base de chacune des lunettes. Ces fonds de boite rendent hermetique le bo^tier par vissage ou clipsage, ils seront realises en metal ou en plastique. Chacun des fonds de bo^tier est perce d'un trou (J), a trots heure, permettant le passage du To receive the watch movements and their display means, two case backs (12a; 12b) are made so as to be fitted at the base of each of the spectacles. These case backs make the case airtight by screwing or clipping, they will be made of metal or plastic. Each case back is drilled with a hole (J), at three o'clock, allowing the passage of the
remontoir du mouvement.movement winder.
