Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a portable device of the type comprising a support frame, a power source, a rotary drive member powered by this source and a gear train driven by said drive member.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device of the above kind which, unlike known devices, not only offers a very broad view of its constituent elements, but also has interesting aesthetic effects.
  • the support frame is constituted by a stack of transparent plates, some of which are cut so as to form housings for the constituent elements of the device.
  • the watch shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a support structure formed by a stack of rectangular plates designated by the even numbers ranging from 10 to 28. These plates are made of transparent material, advantageously corundum (sapphire, ruby), spinel, quartz, even glass or plastic.
  • the upper plate 10 constitutes the glass, while the lower plate 28 constitutes the bottom.
  • the plates 12 to 26 are cut internally so as to constitute, when stacked, housings for the constituent parts of the watch movement. This appears in detail in Figure 2, but is only shown very schematically in Figure 1.
  • the plate 12 has a circular opening 66 and the plate 14 a circular opening 68, of smaller diameter, inside which are respectively the minute hand 36 and the hour hand 38.
  • the barrel 32 which contains the spring 30, occupies a housing formed by circular openings 70, 72, 74 and 76 respectively formed in the plates 16, 18, 20 and 22.
  • the ends of the barrel shaft pivot in holes 78 and 80 of plates 14 and 24 respectively.
  • the train 34 and the exhaust 40 occupy a housing formed by openings of appropriate shapes 82, 84 and 86, made in the plates 18, 20 and 22 respectively. They pivot in holes (not referenced) which are drilled in the plates 16, 18 and 24.
  • the pendulum 42 is located in a housing, defined by circular openings 88, 90; 92 and 94 that comprise the plates 16, 18, 20 and 22 respectively. It pivots in holes (not referenced), made in plates 14 and 24.
  • the parts 46 to 64 constituting the winding and time-setting mechanism take place in a housing defined by openings 96 and 98 made in the plates 24 and 26.
  • the ti.rette 46 and the rocker 52 pivot in holes (not referenced) drilled in the plate 22, while the crown 58 and the pawl 62 pivot in holes (not referenced) of the plate 24.
  • the rod 44 pivots in a tube 100, glued in a housing 102 that includes the plume 22.
  • the plates 10 to 28 are assembled by means of four screws 104 and four screw feet 106, respectively engaged in holes 108, made in each of the plates, with the exception of plate 22.
  • the latter which is shorter than the others, has four holes 110 which make it possible to position it on the plate 24 by means of four feet 112 integral with the latter and engaging in the holes 110. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to insert between the plates 20 and 24, at the ends of the plate 22, two strap fasteners 114 and 116 which have holes 118 for the passage of the foot-screws 106.
  • the plate 22 is here thicker than the others in order to allow the use of a time-setting rod and strap fasteners sufficiently rigid to withstand the normal stresses to which a watch may be subjected.
  • the openings can be cut from the plates by any suitable means.
  • the cutting is advantageously carried out by laser beam or by ultrasound.
  • quartz it lends itself more easily to cutting by a photo-chemical process.
  • the invention is not limited to the single embodiment which has just been described.
  • the number of plates used can be increased or reduced.
  • the shape of the openings made in the plates it can either correspond fairly exactly, as shown in Figure 1, the shape of the constituent parts of the movement, or on the contrary move away from it so as to produce, by itself, particular aesthetic effects.
  • the invention offers the possibility, not only, through the use of transparent plates, of making a watch in which all the parts are visible, but also, by playing on the color of the plates and the shape of their openings, create very special aesthetic effects which give the whole an aspect close to that of a stained glass window.
  • corundum plates makes it possible to produce a particularly remarkable watch.
  • This material has a hardness which gives it a very high resistance to abrasion.
  • the aesthetic result is such that it is self-sufficient and that consequently, the time display function can be omitted to leave only a set of mobiles integrated in a sort of stained glass.
