Orologio da polso in cui l’asse della corona à ̈ disposto in posizione inclinata rispetto al piano contenente il quadrante Wristwatch in which the axis of the crown is arranged in an inclined position with respect to the plane containing the dial
CAMPO DELL’INVENZIONE FIELD OF INVENTION
La presente invenzione si riferisce al campo degli orologi da polso. The present invention relates to the field of wristwatches.
STATO DELLA TECNICA STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
Come à ̈ noto un orologio da polso à ̈ costituito essenzialmente da tre parti: la carrure, il fondello e la lunetta. As is known, a wristwatch essentially consists of three parts: the middle case, the back and the bezel.
La carrure à ̈ un corpo cavo, di forma essenzialmente cilindrica che ospita il movimento dell’orologio, il quadrante con le lancette o da un display, nel caso di orologi digitali. The middle case is a hollow body, essentially cylindrical in shape that houses the movement of the watch, the dial with the hands or a display, in the case of digital watches.
Il fondello chiude la cassa dal lato opposto al quadrante e ne permette l’accesso per le operazioni di pulizia, riparazione, cambio delle batterie ecc.. The caseback closes the case from the side opposite the dial and allows access for cleaning, repairing, changing the batteries, etc.
La lunetta à ̈ la fascia, normalmente in metallo, che circonda il vetro dell’orologio e lo fissa alla parte superiore della carrure. The bezel is the band, usually in metal, that surrounds the glass of the watch and fixes it to the upper part of the middle case.
Negli orologi meccanici per la ricarica e la movimentazione delle parti necessarie trovano posto sulla fascia laterale della carrure uno o più pulsanti e la corona che interagiscono con il sistema di movimentazione attraverso corrispondenti fori presenti nella fascia laterale della carrure e permettono la regolazione dell’ora e delle eventuali altre funzioni dell’orologio (cambio data, cronometro ecc.). In mechanical watches for recharging and moving the necessary parts, one or more buttons and the crown are placed on the side band of the carrure and interact with the movement system through corresponding holes in the side band of the middle case and allow the time to be adjusted. and any other clock functions (date change, stopwatch, etc.).
In particolare la corona à ̈ collegata al movimento attraverso una sottile asta metallica denominata “tige", scorrevole, che permette di ricaricare e regolare il movimento ruotando appunto la corona. Inoltre la tige à ̈ provvista di punti di impegno che ne permettono l’azione sui meccanismi che regolano ad esempio il cambiamento di data o la regolazione dell’ora. Detti mezzi di impegno interagisco con i rispetti meccanismi quando la corona viene estratta verso l’esterno trascinando con sé la tige per la minima distanza necessaria appunto a permettere l'impegno suddetto. In particular, the crown is connected to the movement through a thin metal rod called â € œtige ", sliding, which allows you to recharge and adjust the movement by rotating the crown. In addition, the stem is equipped with engagement points that allow it to be Action on the mechanisms that regulate, for example, the change of date or setting the time. Said engagement means interact with the respective mechanisms when the crown is pulled outwards by dragging the rod with it for the minimum distance necessary precisely to allow the aforementioned commitment.
Per la sua posizione sul bordo della cassa, e quindi a contrasto con il braccio dell’utente, la corona risulta alquanto scomoda e difficile da azionare per cui à ̈ normalmente necessario togliere l’orologio per poter provvedere alla ricarica o alle necessarie movimentazioni. Due to its position on the edge of the case, and therefore in contrast with the user's arm, the crown is somewhat uncomfortable and difficult to operate, so it is normally necessary to remove the watch to be able to recharge or carry out the necessary movements. .
Inoltre in oggetti quali gli orologi, in particolare quelli di pregio, ogni particolare costruttivo deve partecipare anche a definire l’aspetto esteriore dell’oggetto, la corona, quindi, oltre al suo scopo pratico si presterebbe in modo particolare a svolgere questa funzione ma la sua posizione ne limita notevolmente il possibile impatto visivo. Furthermore, in objects such as watches, in particular those of value, every constructive detail must also participate in defining the external appearance of the object, the crown, therefore, in addition to its practical purpose, it would be particularly suitable for carrying out this function. but its position considerably limits its possible visual impact.
E’ evidente quindi quanto sarebbe interessante disporre di un orologio in cui la corona fosse posizionata in modo da poter essere azionata agevolmente ed in cui possa inoltre contribuire a caratterizzare l’orologio stesso. It is therefore evident how interesting it would be to have a watch in which the crown is positioned so that it can be operated easily and in which it can also help characterize the watch itself.
BREVE DESCRIZIONE DELLE FIGURE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
La fig. 1 rappresenta schematicamente una realizzazione dell’invenzione, in cui la corona à ̈ in fase di riposo (solo funzione di ricarica). Fig. 1 schematically represents an embodiment of the invention, in which the crown is in the resting phase (charging function only).
La fig. 2 rappresenta schematicamente la corona di figura 1 in posizione attiva (movimentazione lancette, calendario ecc.). Fig. 2 schematically represents the crown of figure 1 in active position (movement of the hands, calendar, etc.).
La fig. 3 mostra un particolare dell’invenzione Fig. 3 shows a detail of the invention
DESCRIZIONE DETTAGLIATA DELL’INVENZIONE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invenzione consente di superare i problemi suddetti grazie ad un orologio da polso in cui l’asse della corona à ̈ disposto in posizione inclinata rispetto al piano contenente il quadrante per cui la corona si trova disposta sullo spigolo superiore della carrure (o su un piccolo aggetto aderente al bordo della carrure) o sulla lunetta. The present invention allows the above problems to be overcome thanks to a wristwatch in which the axis of the crown is arranged in an inclined position with respect to the plane containing the dial so that the crown is located on the upper edge of the carrure (or on a small projection adhering to the edge of the middle case) or on the bezel.
Nella figura 1 Ã ̈ mostrata schematicamente una corona 10 disposta sullo spigolo superiore delia carrure 11. Figure 1 schematically shows a crown 10 arranged on the upper edge of the carrure 11.
Un’asta 12 perpendicolare rispetto al piano contenente la corona (detta anche asse della corona) collega la corona 10 con l’asse 14 (tige) passando per un’apposita asola 13 ricavata nella carrure (vedi Figura 3 in cui per chiarezza non à ̈ mostrata la corona); la tige 14 à ̈ poi normalmente collegata al movimento dell’orologio (non mostrato in figura). A rod 12 perpendicular to the plane containing the crown (also called the axis of the crown) connects the crown 10 with the axis 14 (stem) passing through a special slot 13 obtained in the middle case (see Figure 3 where for clarity the crown is not shown); the rod 14 is then normally connected to the movement of the watch (not shown in the figure).
L’asta 12 si congiunge alla tige 14 per mezzo di un meccanismo che consenta di trasmettere il movimento di rotazione della corona alla tige 14 ma anche di far scorrere avanti ed indietro detta tige 14; un esempio di detto meccanismo, come schematizzato in figura, può essere un giunto cardanico 15. The rod 12 is joined to the rod 14 by means of a mechanism which allows to transmit the rotation movement of the crown to the rod 14 but also to make said rod 14 slide back and forth; an example of said mechanism, as schematized in the figure, can be a cardan joint 15.
L’asta 12 appoggerà ovviamente su un fulcro 16, disposto lungo la sua lunghezza dove più opportuno e fissato alla parete interna della carrure; detto fulcro potrà essere costituito da una spina a cui l’asta 12 si appoggia o da una spina provvista di un occhiello entro il quale passi l’asta 12. The rod 12 will obviously rest on a fulcrum 16, arranged along its length where most appropriate and fixed to the inner wall of the carrure; said fulcrum could be constituted by a pin on which the rod 12 rests or by a pin provided with an eyelet through which the rod 12 passes.
L’angolo a fra l’asta 12 e la tige 14 potrà ad esempio essre compreso fra 31° - 42 ° a seconda del punto di posizionamento della corona sul bordo superiore della carrure o sulla lunetta. The angle a between the rod 12 and the rod 14 could for example be between 31 ° - 42 ° depending on the position of the crown on the upper edge of the middle case or on the bezel.
Il funzionamento delia corona à ̈ evidente in sé. The functioning of the crown is self-evident.
In posizione di riposo (Fig. 1) la corona sarà disposta in modo che la tige 14 sia spinta totalmente verso il movimento dell’orologio e quindi potrà agire su di esso attraverso il giunto cardanico 15 a seguito della rotazione cui verrà sottoposta. In the rest position (Fig. 1) the crown will be arranged so that the stem 14 is pushed totally towards the movement of the watch and therefore will be able to act on it through the cardan joint 15 following the rotation to which it will be subjected.
Quando sia necessario agire sugli altri meccanismi dell’orologio (calendario, regolazione dell’ora eoe. come suddetto) sarà sufficiente spostare la corona lungo l’asola 13 in modo che l’asta 12 agendo sul fulcro 16 tiri verso l’esterno la tige 14 permettendo ai mezzi di impegno presenti su di esso (non mostrati in figura) di agire sui corrispondenti meccanismi di regolazione come desiderato e come già avviene nei normali orologi per trazione della corona in direzione perpendicolare alla cassa. When it is necessary to act on the other mechanisms of the watch (calendar, time adjustment, etc. as mentioned above) it will be sufficient to move the crown along the slot 13 so that the rod 12, acting on the fulcrum 16, pulls towards the Outside the stem 14 allowing the engagement means present thereon (not shown in the figure) to act on the corresponding adjustment mechanisms as desired and as already occurs in normal watches by pulling the crown in a direction perpendicular to the case.
