Definitions

the present invention relates more particularly to watch cases comprising a crystal and a middle, the crystal being removably mounted on an upper peripheral surface of the middle by means of connecting members.
connection members of the type of screws, pins, dovetail slides are used. , claws mounted on the edges of the middle, etc ...
the present invention proposes a new construction which avoids the drawbacks described above, in particular by using space-saving connecting members, and which, surprisingly, are neither integral with the glass nor of the middle, but simply engaged on the edges of the box.
These connecting members do not require any particular machining of the crystal, and the latter can further extend over its entire periphery as far as the lateral edges of the middle part, which could not have been done before, in a removable manner, than by screws or pins.
the watch case of Figures 1 and 2 includes in particular a crystal 1 removably mounted on the upper surface 2 of a middle part 3 in which is mounted in a conventional manner a movement 4 equipped with a dial 5.
the crystal 1 and the middle part 3 are kept assembled by means of connecting members constituted by clamps 10, U-shaped.
Each clamp 10 has branches 11, 12 between which are clamped the edges of the crystal 1 and the middle part.
the clamps 10 are neither integral with the crystal 1, nor of the middle part 3, but their retention is improved by the friction resulting from the separation force exerted on the glass and the middle part by the seal 6. They are of course put in place by a lateral engagement, in the direction of the arrows 13 in FIG. 1, on the edges of the watch case.
the middle part 3 has at its lower part recesses 14 in which the branches 12 of the clamps 10 are retracted.
FIGs 3 and 4 there is shown another embodiment of the invention, in which the connecting members are constituted by two bars 15, which extend transversely on the upper face of the glass 1. At each end bars 15 is formed a collet 16, 17 the branch 18 of which is not connected to the bar is inserted into recesses 19 when the bars are engaged laterally on the box in the direction of the arrows 20.
FIG. 5 represents a watch case similar to the previous ones, but using only a single bar 21 for holding the crystal 1 on the middle.
