Abstract

1284029 Attaching straps to watch cases A BRIEN 14 April 1970 [30 April 1969] 17578/ 70 Heading A3H [Also in Division G3] A wrist-watch has a housing 18 which is fixed rigidly or hinged to the watch case 1 and contains electric cells 24, 25 for lighting a bulb 8 to illuminate a dial 6. The housing 18 forms one of the attachments for a watch bracelet and has a watertight, resilient plastics cover 21 which is deflected by pressure from or against the wearer's wrist to cause the cells 24, 25 to touch contacts 19, 20 which are connected to a wire 16 and to the body of the watch respectively. Alternative constructions are described in which the cover 21 contains a return spring or in which the cell or cells are contained in the body of the watch case itself. The case comprises a bezel 3 which retains both the dial 6 and a glass 4, a lead 14 from the bulb 8 being pinched between the glass 4 and the bezel 3. An opaque cover 10, which is stuck or welded to the glass 4, directs the illumination toward the dial 6. The arrangement may be used in a diver's watch in which the light is turned on automatically by water pressure when the diver reaches a prescribed depth.
