2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, many structures for bonding and fixing a watch cover glass to a watch case or an edge using an adhesive have been proposed and implemented. The advantages of the structure of fixing with an adhesive are that the cover glass for a wristwatch is easily attached and fixed, the number of parts is small, and the finished appearance is good.

Conventionally, an epoxy-based thermosetting adhesive has been widely used as an adhesive, but in recent years, an ultraviolet curable adhesive such as an acrylic-based adhesive has also been frequently used. Since the UV-curable adhesive is a one-part type, it does not require two-component mixing, has a long pot life, and can be cured by short-time UV irradiation, and thus has the advantage of good workability.

However, UV-curable adhesives have lower adhesive strength than epoxy-based thermosetting adhesives, and may cause problems such as glass peeling.

As a cause thereof, there is a problem of stress applied to the cover glass adhesive. When bonded with a thermosetting adhesive, the watch case has a larger coefficient of thermal expansion than the cover glass, and the watch case has a larger elongation in the heated state. When the temperature is returned to normal temperature after the adhesive is cured, the watch case shrinks more than the cover glass, so that the cover glass is tightened by the watch case, and compressive stress is applied to the bonding portion. For this reason, a stress state occurs as when glass is press-fitted through packing. Therefore, the glass removing force is increased.

Set the thermal expansion coefficient of the cover glass (material: inorganic glass) to 8.
8 × 10 -6 / ° C, the coefficient of thermal expansion of a watch case (material: stainless steel) is 21 × 10 -6 / ° C, and when a cover glass with an outer diameter of 30 mm is bonded, it will be about 30 μm at 80 ° C and normal temperature 23 ° C. However, it will cause a relative displacement.
Since the temperature heated during bonding is low, the compressive stress applied to the bonded portion is small.

Furthermore, considering the case where the back cover is attached to the watch case with the cover glass, when the back cover is attached, the watch case is pushed out from the inside by the biting convex portion of the back cover. Therefore, if a compressive stress is applied to the bonding portion, the compressive stress decreases. However, when the compressive stress applied to the bonded portion is small due to bonding with the ultraviolet curing adhesive, the compressive stress applied to the bonded portion is almost eliminated by mounting the back cover. , The compressive stress applied thereto disappears, and on the contrary, tensile stress is generated. For this reason, problems such as adhesion peeling may occur.

In the present invention, when bonding a cover glass using an ultraviolet-curing adhesive, a compressive stress is generated in the same manner as when bonding with an epoxy-based thermosetting adhesive to obtain the same adhesive strength, and a back cover is obtained. Is attached so that a compressive stress remains in the bonded portion even when the watch case is deformed.

The present invention uses an ultraviolet-curable adhesive, when bonding a cover glass for a watch, after applying the adhesive and setting the cover glass, curing the adhesive by irradiating ultraviolet light with the watch case heated. Thus, it is intended to apply a compressive stress to the glass-bonded portion in a state where the temperature is returned to normal temperature in the same manner as in the case of bonding with a thermosetting adhesive.

However, the method of the present invention can be used when the thermal expansion coefficient of the cover glass is smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of the watch case. Therefore, in a wristwatch case made of metal, the method of the present invention can be applied when the material of the cover glass is inorganic glass or sapphire, but the method of the present invention cannot be applied when the material is acrylic resin.
