Description

DISPOSITIF PERMETTANT LE RETOURNEMENT ET DEVICE FOR REVERSING AND
L'INTERCHANGEABILITÉ D'UN OBJET NOTAMMENT D'UNE BOITE DETHE INTERCHANGEABILITY OF AN OBJECT, IN PARTICULAR A BOX OF
MONTRE PAR RAPPORT À UN SUPPORTWATCH IN RELATION TO A SUPPORT
La présente invention est relative au domaine de l'horlogerie, plus particulièrement aux dispositifs permettant le retournement et l'interchangeabilité d'un objet notamment d'une boîte de montre par rapport à un élément support.The present invention relates to the field of watchmaking, more particularly to devices for reversing and interchangeability of an object including a watch case with respect to a support member.
Il est connu d'utiliser différents systèmes pour l'introduction et la fixation d'un objet tel qu'une boîte de montre dans un élément support. Ces systèmes sont composés généralement d'une boîte de montre, d'un élément support et d'un bracelet ainsi qu'un système de fixation permettant l'arrimage et l'éjection de la boîte de montre. Ils permettent de jouer sur la modularité d'une montre bracelet puisque l'élément support peut ainsi accueillir des modules d'heures aux fonctions différentes. La boîte de montre peut également comporter deux calibres distincts sur chacune de ses faces de manière à pouvoir indiquer deux fuseaux horaires lorsque ladite boîte de montre est retournée dans l'élément support.It is known to use different systems for the introduction and fixation of an object such as a watch case in a support element. These systems are generally composed of a watch case, a support member and a bracelet and a fastening system for securing and ejecting the watch case. They allow to play on the modularity of a wristwatch since the support element can thus accommodate modules of hours with different functions. The watch case may also include two separate calibers on each of its faces so as to be able to indicate two time zones when said watch case is returned in the support element.
Le mode d'exécution principal de la publication WO 2004081677 décrit un tel système dans lequel un premier et un deuxième poussoir sont agencés respectivement sur la partie rectiligne supérieure et inférieure d'un élément support. Une boîte de montre est coulissée à l'intérieur d'un rail se trouvant sur la surface interne des deux parties rectilignes de l'élément support, ladite boîte étant maintenue grâce à deux plaquettes de guidage venant s'introduire dans des fraisures réalisées sur un bossage situé sur le contour de la boîte de montre. Ce système de verrouillage présente le désavantage de devoir appliquer une pression simultanée sur les deux poussoirs de manière à désolidariser la boîte de montre de l'élément support. Cela rend la manipulation visant à extraire la boîte de montre de l'élément support quelque peu fastidieuse. Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif permettant l'introduction et l'enlèvement d'un objet tel qu'une boîte de montre dans un élément support, ledit dispositif comportant un système de verrouillage équipé d'un seul poussoir facilitant la manipulation consistant à désolidariser la boîte de montre de l'élément support.The main embodiment of the publication WO 2004081677 describes such a system in which a first and a second pusher are respectively arranged on the upper and lower rectilinear part of a support element. A watch case is slid inside a rail located on the inner surface of the two straight portions of the support member, said box being held by two guide plates that are introduced into countersinks made on a boss located on the outline of the watch case. This locking system has the disadvantage of having to apply a simultaneous pressure on the two pushers so as to separate the watch case from the support element. This makes the manipulation to extract the watch case from the support element somewhat tedious. The object of the present invention is to provide a device for the introduction and removal of an object such as a watch case in a support element, said device comprising a locking system equipped with a single push-button facilitating the manipulation of detaching the watch case from the support member.
Conformément à l'invention, ce but est atteint grâce à un dispositif selon la revendication 1 permettant le retournement et l'interchangeabilité d'un objet tel qu'une boîte de montre dans un élément support ouvert sur un côté latéral permettant l'introduction et l'enlèvement de l'objet par l'ouverture latérale. Une partie de l'objet vient s'adapter harmonieusement sur ledit côté latéral ouvert de l'élément support. Le dispositif comporte un système de verrouillage constitué d'une part d'une partie incorporée dans l'élément support comportant un coulisseau agencé sur au moins un ressort et d'autre part d'une saillie solidaire du bord de l'objet.According to the invention, this object is achieved by means of a device according to claim 1 allowing the reversal and interchangeability of an object such as a watch case in an open support element on a lateral side allowing the introduction and the removal of the object by the lateral opening. Part of the object fits harmoniously on said open side side of the support member. The device comprises a locking system consisting on the one hand of a part incorporated in the support element comprising a slide arranged on at least one spring and on the other hand a protrusion integral with the edge of the object.

Selon le principal mode d'exécution de la présente invention, le dispositif est constitué de la boîte de montre (1) ainsi que de l'élément support (2). Celui-ci est constitué de deux parties rectilignes (19, 20) reliées entre elles par une partie courbée (21) de manière à former un « U ». Le côté latéral ouvert de l'élément support (2) permet l'introduction et l'enlèvement de ladite boîte (1). Cette ouverture est fermée par le flanc (18) côté couronne de la carrure de la boîte de montre (1) qui vient s'adapter harmonieusement sur le côté latéral ouvert de l'élément support (2) lorsque ladite boîte (1) a été introduite dans ce dernier et a atteint sa position terminale.According to the main embodiment of the present invention, the device consists of the watch case (1) and the support member (2). This consists of two rectilinear parts (19, 20) interconnected by a curved portion (21) so as to form a "U". The open side of the support member (2) allows the introduction and removal of said box (1). This opening is closed by the side (18) side of the crown of the middle of the watch case (1) which fits harmoniously on the open side side of the support member (2) when said box (1) has been introduced into the latter and reached its terminal position.
Ledit dispositif possède un système de verrouillage constitué d'une part d'une partie comportant plusieurs éléments incorporés dans un évidement (16), celui-ci étant agencé au centre de la partie courbée (21) de l'élément support (2), et d'autre part d'une saillie (6) centrée sur le côté latéral de la boîte de montre (1) opposé au côté comportant la couronne.Said device has a locking system consisting on the one hand of a part comprising several elements incorporated in a recess (16), the latter being arranged in the center of the curved part (21) of the support element (2), and on the other hand a projection (6) centered on the lateral side of the watch case (1) opposite the side having the crown.
L'agencement de la boîte de montre (1) dans l'élément support (2) est rendu possible grâce d'une part à une gorge (13) agencée sur la surface interne des deux parties rectilignes (19, 20) de l'élément support (2), ladite gorge (13) étant réalisée par un fraisage semi-circulaire et d'autre part à un guide (non illustré) situé sur une partie du contour de la boîte de montre (1) destiné à s'introduire dans l'élément support (2).The arrangement of the watch case (1) in the support element (2) is made possible thanks firstly to a groove (13) arranged on the inner surface of the two rectilinear parts (19, 20) of the support member (2), said groove (13) being made by a semicircular milling and secondly to a guide (not shown) located on a part of the contour of the watch case (1) intended to be introduced in the support element (2).
La partie du système de verrouillage incorporée dans l'évidemment (16) situé dans l'élément support (2) comporte un coulisseau (3) agencé sur deux ressorts (7) lesquels sont positionnés à l'intérieur de deux perçages (17) réalisés dans un bouton décor (15). Ce bouton décor (15) qui est immobile est agencé sur le dessous de l'élément support (2).The part of the locking system incorporated in the recess (16) in the support element (2) comprises a slider (3) arranged on two springs (7) which are positioned inside two holes (17). made in a decor button (15). This decorative button (15) which is stationary is arranged on the underside of the support element (2).
Un ergot (8) comportant une courbure (9) est situé à l'une des extrémités du coulisseau (3). Ladite courbure (9) est destinée à coopérer avec l'extrémité de la saillie (6) dont le profile est incliné de manière à pouvoir abaisser ledit coulisseau (3), en comprimant les ressorts (7), perpendiculairement au mouvement rectiligne de la boîte de montre (1) lorsque cette dernière est introduite dans l'élément support (2) et s'approche de sa position terminale.A lug (8) having a curvature (9) is located at one end of the slider (3). Said curvature (9) is intended to cooperate with the end of the projection (6) whose profile is inclined so as to lower said slide (3), compressing the springs (7), perpendicular to the rectilinear motion of the box watch (1) when the latter is introduced into the support member (2) and approaches its end position.
Lorsque la boîte de montre (1) atteint sa position terminale dans l'élément support (2), l'ergot (8) s'introduit, grâce à la force verticale exercée par les ressorts (7) sur le coulisseau (3), dans une cavité (10) agencée au centre de la saillie (6) provoquant le verrouillage de la boîte de montre (1).When the watch case (1) reaches its end position in the support member (2), the pin (8) is introduced, thanks to the vertical force exerted by the springs (7) on the slider (3), in a cavity (10) arranged in the center of the projection (6) causing the lock of the watch case (1).
Un poussoir (11), agencé dans l'évidement (16), est solidaire du coulisseau (3) par l'intermédiaire de deux entretoises (12). Celles-ci sont vissées sur deux vis (5), lesdites vis étant ajustées à travers deux perçages (4) réalisés de part et d'autre du coulisseau (2). Lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur le poussoir (11), les entretoises (12) communiquent un mouvement vertical au coulisseau (3) de manière à extraire l'ergot (8) du fraisage traversant (10) afin de désolidariser l'élément support (2) de la boîte de montre (1). A cet instant, la boîte de montre (1) peut être retirée de l'élément support (2) par coulissement.A pusher (11), arranged in the recess (16), is integral with the slide (3) via two spacers (12). These are screwed on two screws (5), said screws being adjusted through two bores (4) made on either side of the slider (2). When pressure is exerted on the pusher (11), the spacers (12) communicate a vertical movement to the slider (3) so as to extract the lug (8) of the through milling (10) in order to separate the support element (2) of the watch case (1). At this time, the watch case (1) can be removed from the support member (2) by sliding.
Ce dispositif tel que décrit permet non seulement l'interchangeabilité de la boîte de montre (1) mais également le retournement de celle-ci dans l'élément support (2). Ainsi, dans une forme d'exécution, l'objet (1) est constitué de deux boîtes de montre solidarisées dos à dos l'une par rapport à l'autre, les dites boîtes de montre pouvant afficher deux fuseaux horaires distincts. II va de soit que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes d'exécutions décrits ci- dessus à titre d'exemples mais qu'elle embrasse, au contraire toutes les variantes d'exécution. Par exemple, la forme de l'élément support (2) peut s'apparenter à un « C » ou tout autre forme permettant l'introduction et le verrouillage de l'objet (1) tel que décrit précédemment. This device as described not only allows the interchangeability of the watch case (1) but also the reversal thereof in the support member (2). Thus, in one embodiment, the object (1) consists of two watch boxes secured back to back with respect to each other, said watch boxes being able to display two distinct time zones. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above as examples but embraces, on the contrary, all the variants of execution. For example, the shape of the support member (2) may be similar to a "C" or any other form allowing the introduction and locking of the object (1) as described above.
