Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a watch with multiple windows, that is to say, a watch with a dial provided with a certain number of openings within the dial, capable of revealing signs, symbols, numbers, etc. ....
  • these signs, symbols and other figures are capable of appearing at the level of each of these dials according to their own frequency, so as to allow a certain number of combinations of these signs to be defined in the context of a fun activity, such as in particular games of chance, lotteries, but also for promotional operations, and for distribution, etc.
  • Watches with multiple windows are known per se.
  • document CH - A - 663 318 describes such a watch, comprising four apertures distributed substantially equidistant from each other within the dial, and at the level of which figures or numbers appear, each of these apertures allowing in fact ensuring a counting of events, such as points, strokes, goals, etc. .
  • each of the counters serves to display a counter or adder, said display of the content of the counters being effected by means of control members to increment said content by one unit each time said organ is acted upon.
  • the device also includes, for each of the counters, a reset member. In other words, it is by no means a random display, but rather a multiple counter, independent at the limit of the operating mechanism of the watch in which it is integrated, and making it possible to hold on to day for example a round of golf, etc.
  • a device for automatically calculating the periods of fertility and sterility of women, integrated within a watch.
  • This device consists of the combination of a carrier disc, a plurality of arcs of circles, arranged concentrically with respect to each other, each of which corresponds to a menstrual cycle of a determined duration, and with a plurality of apertures arranged in the dial of a watch opposite each of the circumstances corresponding to various cycles.
  • the object of the invention relates to the playful nature of the watch by giving it, in addition to the aspect of time indicator itself, the possibility of displaying a combination of signs, symbols, etc., likely to designate the winner among the wearers of a watch in question, by displaying at a given time, a specific combination.
  • This dial watch comprising a plurality of windows at which signs are likely to appear simultaneously, the frequency of change of signs at each of the windows, being likely to vary from one window to another in a good way determined, is characterized in that. the windows are made within the dial in concentric circles, the center of which corresponds to the center of the dial.
  • the invention consists in that the frequency of the change of signs at each of the counters is different from one counter to another, and can be determined by construction as a function of the goal to be achieved and the frequency and of the number of possibly winning combinations that it is desired to obtain, these combinations appearing at the level of different concentric circles materialized at the level of the dial.
  • the windows can be aligned along a radial line starting from the center of the dial or be distributed randomly over the various concentric circles.
  • the materialized symbols appearing at the counters are carried on concentric discs driven by means of a mechanism coupled with the clockwork movement of the watch.
  • the operation of the watch is carried out electronically and is managed by an integrated circuit associated with a quartz clock, and the appearance of symbols and other signs at the counters can also be done electronically, in the form of liquid crystals, for example managed by integrated circuit.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are schematic representations of the dial of a watch according to two forms of representation and distribution of windows, according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of the actuation mechanism of the various concentric discs carrying the signs or symbols appearing at the counters.
  • Figure 4 is a cross section along the line IV - IV of Figure 3 and passing through the central axis of the watch.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross section along the line V - V of FIG. 3.
  • the watch comprises a dial (1) provided with three apertures (2) distributed over concentric circles with respect to the central axis (23) of said dial.
  • the windows (2) are aligned, but in the embodiment shown in Figure 2, these windows can be distributed quite randomly within the dial, although positioned in concentric circles.
  • the counters can adopt a traditional square or rectangular shape, or even as shown in FIG. 1, any other shape, in particular triangular, circular, etc.
  • the symbols (3) are materialized on coaxial discs (4, 24, 31) with the same central axis (23).
  • the outer disc (4) may have more symbols or signs than the intermediate disc (24) or the central disc (31). In practice, it actually has more so as not to leave the corresponding external window empty of any symbol.
  • the outer or peripheral disc (4) is rotated by means of a circular mobile (5), with an axis of rotation (9) parallel to the axis (23), and provided on its upper surface with a pin (6), intended to cooperate with the lateral face (8) of the teeth (7) formed at the level of the internal circumference of the disc (4), as can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • This mobile (5) is itself driven in rotation by means of a mobile (11), with an axis of rotation (12) parallel to the axis (5).
  • the mobile (11) is provided with a finger (13) surmounting it, the end (14) of which cooperates with the teeth (15) formed at the periphery of the mobile (5).
  • the mobile (18) is rotated by the central wheel (20), integral with the axle (23), the axle (23) + central wheel (20) assembly constituting in known manner the roadway of the clock mechanism, to which the minute hand of the watch in which the device object of the invention is integrated is attached.
  • the peripheral disc (4) rotates anticlockwise.
  • the device comprises a jumper positioning spring (21), the l the end (22) is inserted between two consecutive teeth (15) of the mobile (5), as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the actuation of the intermediate disc (24) takes place in a substantially similar manner. More precisely, it is actuated in rotation by means of a mobile (25) with an axis of rotation (29) parallel to the axis (23), said mobile (25) being provided with teeth (36) which mesh with the teeth (15) of the mobile (5).
  • the two mobiles (25) and (5) are located in the same horizontal plane, as can also be seen in FIG. 5.
  • This toothed mobile (25) is provided with two pins (26) positioned in diametrically opposite positions relative to each other, as can be seen in Figure 3, and cooperating in turn on the one hand, with one of the side faces (28) of teeth (27) formed at the internal circumference of the intermediate disc (24), and on the other hand, with the teeth (32) of a central mobile (30), to which the internal disc (31) is secured as can see it in figure 5.
  • the two mobiles (5) and (25) are identical and have the same number of external teeth of equally identical dimensions. In this way, these two mobiles rotate at the same speed, simply in opposite directions of rotation, taking into account the gear thus materialized.
  • the device according to the invention comprises another jumper positioning spring (33), fixed to the frame of the watch, one of the ends (34) of which co-operates with the internal toothed crown (27) of the intermediate disc (24), in order to allow, in the same way as previously, the centering of the symbols or other signs which it comprises at the level of the corresponding aperture, and the other end of which (35) cooperates with the toothed central mobile (30), to achieve the same result , namely the centering of the signs or symbols carried by the internal disc (31) at the corresponding window.
  • the latter also rotates like the external disc (4) anticlockwise.
  • the number of teeth of the internal crown of the external disc (4) is 31, that of the internal crown of the intermediate disc (24) is 19, and that of the central mobile (30) associated with the disc.
  • central (31) is 9.
  • the dial can be irreversibly sealed at the level of the mechanism, so that any attempt goes towards the destruction of the watch, and in any event, towards the stopping of its operation.
  • the discs and other mobiles are made, for example, of synthetic plastic.
  • Such a device therefore proves to be particularly suitable in the context of the production of playful products with a random connotation.
