Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wristwatch comprising a lower part consisting of a middle part and a bottom made of a piece with the middle part, two opposite sides of the latter each presenting at at least two horns crossed by a bar to attach a strand of bracelet with said middle part, and an upper part consisting of a bezel surrounding an ice cream.
  • Document CH 632 634 already describes a wristwatch formed of a lower part consisting of a back-middle made of a piece, two opposite sides of the backband being provided with horns, for attaching a bracelet, and an upper part consisting of a bezel and a crystal.
  • the bezel is retained pressed against the middle by the head of studs, the rod of which passes through a hole in the telescope and is engaged in a bore in the middle where this rod is blocked by a screw located between the horns of this middle.
  • This construction has the disadvantage of being relatively complicated, to require specific parts for this fixation and reveal rivet heads which are not aesthetic.
  • plastic watches with digital display produced by Swatch which consist of a middle the interior of which the watch and electronic components are attached.
  • the watch is closed by a loose fitted back, but glued under the middle to sealing.
  • This type of construction has the disadvantage of offer a watch that is not removable and that reveals a line of join between the middle and the back. This join line does not match not in the style of the cited brand, the applicant was led to propose a shows where the middle and the back are made in one piece on the one hand, this watch can also be disassembled for possible repairs. This is the object of the present invention.
  • the wristwatch of the invention in addition that it meets what is said in the first paragraph of this description is characterized in that the bars intended to attach the strands of the bracelet are used together to serve as means for fixing the upper part to the lower part.
  • the wristwatch illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 first presents a lower part 1 consisting of a middle part 2 and a bottom 3 made of piece with the middle. Two opposite sides of this middle part have each at least two horns, i.e. horns 30 and 31 for the right part figures and horns 32 and 33 for the left part of these same figures.
  • the horns 30 and 31 are crossed by a bar 8 for attach a strand 10 of the bracelet to the middle part 2.
  • the horns 32 and 33 are crossed by a bar 9 to attach a strand 11 of the strap at middle 2.
  • the wristwatch still has a part upper 12 consisting of a bezel 13 surrounding a window 14.
  • the construction presented is remarkable in that the bars 8 and 9, not only are used to attach strands 10 and 11 of the bracelet to the middle 2, but still serve jointly as means of fixing the upper part 12 on the lower part 1.
  • the upper part 12 is composed, as has already been said, of a bezel 13 preferably made of plastic and a welded glass 14 on the telescope by ultrasound for example.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show by elsewhere supports 40 of pushers (not shown) that take advantage of mold with the bezel.
  • the lower part 1 is molded in one piece from where it results a middle with horns and an integrated bottom. We take advantage of the molding operation to form other elements, for example a well battery 41 and balusters 42 which will serve as support for a circuit electronic (not shown).
  • the bottom 3 is made in one piece with the middle part, the upper part of figure 2 clearly shows that no line of separation does not exist between back and middle, which would not be the case if the back was reported on the middle.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show that the upper part 12 is equipped with pillars 16 to 19 emerging under the bezel 13. These pillars are threaded in corresponding recesses 20 to 23 made in the horns 30 to 33 of the middle 2. These pillars each have a housing 24 at 27 arranged to be crossed by bars 8 and 9 attaching the strands 10 and 11 of the bracelet in the middle part 2. It will be understood that the upper part 12 will be fixed on the lower part 1 when these bars cross the horns of the middle.
  • Figure 3 shows the part upper 12 composed of the bezel 13 surrounded by the glass 14. Under the bezel 13 emerges from the pillar 16 which has a housing 24.
  • the same figure 3 shows the lower part 1 composed of the middle part 2 and the integrated back 3.
  • a recess 20 In the horn 30 of the middle part 2 is made a recess 20. This recess is provided with a housing 43 intended to receive the bar 8.
  • the pillar 16 is introduced into the recess 20 to arrive at the situation illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • the housing 24 of the pillar 16 faces the housing 43 of the recess 20 for form an annular passage which will be crossed by the bar 8.
  • the strand 10 of the bracelet is placed in the spaces formed between the horns and the bar 8 is introduced, which has the effect of secure the pillar 16 in the recess 20 and fix the strand at the same time 10 from the bracelet to the middle 2.
  • the middle has only two horns on each side of the middle, we can consider two different embodiments.
  • the first mode would be to have two central horns 30 and 31 respectively 32 and 33, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the end horns 4 and 5, respectively 6 and 7 being absent.
  • the second embodiment would be to have two end horns 4 and 5, respectively 6 and 7, the horns power plants do not exist. In this second mode, the end horns do not would be only partially hollowed out and this on the inner side of the middle to do not let the recess appear on the outside of the watch. In the recesses thus made would take the pillars as described more high.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a mode of preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the two opposite sides of the middle part 2 each have four horns, respectively and taken in order, a first end horn 4 and 7, two central horns 30, 31 and 32, 33 and a second end horn 5 and 6, these horns being arranged in alignment.
  • the upper part 12 of the watch is equipped with pillars emerging under the bezel 13, these pillars being threaded into corresponding recesses in the horns middle of the middle 2.
  • pillar 17 is threaded into the recess 21 of the horn 31, the pillar 16 in the recess 20 of the horn 30, the pillar 19 in the recess 23 of the horn 33 and the pillar 18 in the recess 22 of the horn 32.
  • these pillars each have a housing 25, 24, 27 and 26 to resume the above order. Housing 24 and 25 are crossed by the bar 8 and the housings 26 and 27 by the bar 9, these bars respectively attaching the strands 10 and 11 of the bracelet in middle 2 and at the same time fixing the upper part 12 on the lower part 1.
  • the lower parts 1 and upper 12 can be made of molded plastic. We will benefit from this molding to produce the various pillars that emerge under the bezel 13 so that the pillars are made in one piece with the bezel.
  • the pillars have a cross section rectangular, this form of section having been preferred to a section circular to increase the grip of the bar on the pillar and thus improve holding the upper part on the lower part.
  • each pillar i.e. the area where the pillar takes birth under the bezel is arranged to clamp in the recess of the corresponding horn of the middle when the part upper is placed on the lower part.
  • the base 34 of the pillar 16 like the bases of the others pillars, includes an extra thickness 50 arranged to clamp in the orifice input of the recess 20. This tightening or driving contributes to the good maintenance of the bezel 13 on the middle part 2, this maintenance eliminating the games which could remain if the bezel was only held on the middle by means of single bars.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show that the middle part 2 is provided with holes 35 arranged to open out under the glasses 13.
  • a tool for example a rod, can be inserted into these holes to put pressure on the telescope and to extract the pillars out of their respective recesses, which allows disassembly of the watch.
