Definitions

  • a further object is to provide a simple and practical watch crystal adapted to withstand hard usage and yet possess all the advantages of the usual glass crystal without the disadvantages such as caused by the small particles of glass getting into the works of the watch on breakagexof the crystal.
  • This invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of parts and in the unique relations of the members and in the relative proportioning and disposition thereof, all as morecompletely outlined herein.
  • Fig? 2 is a similar view showing a modified arrangement of the same parts
  • Fig. 3 is a similar view showing a modified form of crystal, the view including parts of the watch casing in elevation;
  • Fig. 4 is another view similar to Fig. 1 with-a modified form of crystal.
  • 10 denotes the usual bezel of a watch casing which may be of any desired type according to the style of watch to which it is applied.
  • llhe curved portion 11 of this bezel is provided with an indented annular seat 12 adapted to receive a crystal preferably made up of two parts.
  • the inner part or member 13 is of celluloid or other transparent material.
  • the celluloid crystal 13 will hold the glass crystal 14 in relatively fixed; position thereby to .prevent rattling which will eventually cause such wear around the periphery as to admit dust to the interior of the casing.
  • the celluloid sheet 13 acts as a strengthening member which will reinforce the'crystal 14 and should the latter be broken at any time the resiliency of the member 13 will prevent breakage thereof from ordinary shocks and the subsequent entering of small pieces of glass to the interior of the casing.
  • the bezel 10 is provided with two seats or indented annular grooves 15 and 16 respectively and the crystals of celluloid and glass, 13 and 14, are sprung into these respective grooves successively. In this arrangement it will be noted that there is a slight space left between the two crystals.
  • the bezel 10 is of the usual construction adapted to hold the glass crystal 14. and the celluloid crystal 13 is provided with a downwardly turned flange 17 adapted to rest on the watch casing within the bezel as clearly shown.
  • This construction it will be seen, is applicable to watches now in general use without material modification.
  • the bezel 10 is provided at its upper edge with inner and outer seats 18 and 20 respectively, adapted to receive the crystal 13 of celluloid and the crystall of glass. In both modifications shown in Figs.
  • a bezel provided with annular seating means, an outer crystal of hard mar-resisting transparent material, and an inner crystal of transparent flexible substantially non-breakable material mounted in said annular seating means.
  • abezel provided with annular seating means, an outer crystal of hard mar-resisting transparent material, and an inner crystal/of transparent flexible substantially nonbreakable material independently mounted in said annular seating means.
