Interchangeable elements clock The invention relates to interchangeable element clocks. Since the bracelet of a watch is a piece that is determined by use, means are provided to proceed to substitution when the same has worn away. In general, two retractable bars are threaded on the ends of the bracelet opposite to the closing buckle, coming to lodge the ends of the bars don-tro of the empties provided for that purpose in the horns of the thickness of the box. Considering the difficulty of handling mushroom bars, would you substitute a watch wristband ßß effected the most? Sometimes by used spice artisans (watchmakers-jewelers). Recently watches sold appear with a set of several wristbands easily interchangeable by the user. In n model of this genre, two hollow tubes are mounted on each side of the watch case where the ends of the lac are adapted, which fit the profile of the tubes. The present invention tends to provide a watch of which they are comfortably interchangeable by the user, not only the bracelet but also the mechanism and the visual representation arm, without the aid of any other. To this end, the invention consists of a watch comprising a case containing a mechanism and a sphere of visual representation, a bracelet for fixing the case to the wrist as well as an assembly case intended for securing the case and the bracelet , characterized in that the said casing is provided with receptacles for receiving the bracelet and with means for enslavamizing the cassette in use the said casings of the casing of the watch, preferably the invention is materialized by the casing. . oaractcratioaß they follow - The assembly housing comprises on both sides of its lower face two side walls that define openings allowing the passage of the bracelet; Said side walls comprise, on the one hand, the means for locking the box, which are preferably slots and, on the other hand, at each end the bracket receiving housings, which are preferably notches; 4 - The needle comprises on two of its opposite sides bo the spring-loaded intended to snap into the interlocking means of the pre-assembly case cough with eßt? Object; - Are the bracelets equipped with lugs or rods in each of 8U6 ends destined to go to the receptacles of the assembly housing? - The wristband watch the invention can be made of leather or metal; - The assembly casing according to the invention can be of the form that it wants with the condition of presenting a corresponding emptying with the external contour of the casing. Other features and advantages of the invention will be derived from the following description of an example of non-limiting embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, on which: Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a clock according to the invention; Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view from above of the assembly housing of the clock of Figure 1; Fig. 3 OB a partial schematic perspective view of an arm of the watch bracelet of Fig. 1; Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view from the garlic of the watch case of Figure 1? • The figures 2, 3 and 4 constitute an exploded view that illustrates the assembly of the clock according to the invention. According to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the clock 1 is constituted by an assembly casing 2, a pulse ra 3 and a box 4. Said casing 4 comprises the mechanism of the S-needles, the sphere 6, the needles 7 , the needle protection screen and the needle regulating means 8. According to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the assembly housing has on its lower side two lateral walls 9 arranged on either side of the same. Assembly casing 2. Dichaß are lateral 9 are provided. each in ßu inner side of two slots 10 and 'in each of ßuß ends of a notch 11. In addition, said side walls 9 define two opposite openings 11 'for the passage of the ends of the bracelet 3. The bracelet 3, as illustrated in figure 3, comprises at each of its ends a rigid bar 12 fixed in the fold bracelet terminal, the ends of the bar coming to rest in the not 11 of the assembly casing 2. According to a variant, the bars 12 of the end of the bracelet can be replaced by one of the lugs which are provided by a and another part of each end of the bracelet and arranged to cooperate with the not 11. These tones can be formed of material or inserted. Finally, and according to FIG. R, it can be seen that the box 4 comprises on two of its opposite sides spring-loaded balls 13 intended to be snapped into the slot 10 of the assembly housing 2. According to the invention, the The watch 1 is effected in the following order i 1a / Location of the bracelet 3 by means of the rigid bars 12 which are made to slide inside the wheels 11 of the assembly carcass. 2 * / Introduction of box 4 in the box • of in - - They are attached to the spring-loaded balls 13 which engage in the slots 10 by simple pressure on the rear face of said case i. When the c ^ a 4 is bolidarient of the assembly oarsase 2, it obstructs the "drops" of the assembly casing, which makes the bracelet 3 itself integral with said assembly casing 2. To change one of the elements of the watch, for example the box, it suffices to do the inverse operation, that is to say, to eject the box 4 from the assembly housing 2 of the watch by simple pressure on the front face of said box 4j this then releases the notches 11 , which allows the removal of the bracelet 3 and its replacement. Thanks to the invention, a new type of watch is obtained which, starting from the exchangeable modular elements without useful, ie, the assembly housing 2, the bracelet 3 and the box 4, allows the user to obtain They provide you with a multitude of combinations according to the different housing »of assembly, boxes and bracelets available. Moreover, the watch according to the invention is not limited to the examples of the designs described above, in fact, the watch assembly housing can have any desired shape with the condition of having a reception gap corresponding to the outer contour of the watch. box. The watch bracelet can be made of leather or metal, it can present a hook system to the wrist by means of a buckle or it can be an extensible bracelet without a buckle. Finally, the box can be equipped with a means of regulating the hole * or comprise an automatic regulation means or it can also be the digital visual representation of the time. In this embodiment, two cooperating grooves with spring-loaded diapueate balls are provided on two faces of the assembly housing on two corresponding faces of the housing. Pu 3e planned? other interlocking means without leaving the enclosure housing The blades of the invention, for example, the spring-loaded balls of one of the faces of the box can be replaced by fixed projections which come to be housed in the corresponding grooves of the assembly housing. Thus, the change of housing or assembly casing ε will operate by basculation about the axis defined by the salt in V Z Z of the collapse in a direction perpendicular to the visual representation face of the assembly casing.
