Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch face fixed on a plate. More specifically, the invention relates to a watch dial fixed to a plate by means of fixing means.
  • the technique conventionally used to ensure the maintenance of a watch face on a platen consists in equipping this dial with dial feet which are locked by means of corresponding dial keys.
  • One of the disadvantages of this technique is that the dial feet are fragile and they can easily break in case of shock.
  • the dial feet are not repairable by themselves, the complete dial must be replaced, provided that it is still available as a spare part, which is not always the case.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks as well as others by providing a watch dial fixed on a plate with new fastening means which are both simple and reliable.
  • the present invention relates to an assembly comprising a watch face and a turntable, the turntable being defined by an upper peripheral edge which is extended downwards by an outer peripheral surface, the watch face being fixed on the peripheral rim upper part of the plate using at least a first and a second fixing means, this assembly being characterized in that the first fixing means comprises a boss provided on the outer periphery of the plate, the dial having an edge; device by which it is held between a head of a nail or screw and the rim upper peripheral of the plate, the head of the nail or the screw being extended by a rod which is housed in the boss of the plate.
  • the present invention provides an assembly comprising a watch face and a plate in which the peripheral edge of the dial is held between the head of a nail or a screw and the upper peripheral edge of the plate, the stem of the nail or screw being received in a boss formed on the outer periphery of the plate.
  • the dial is thus immobilized using simple, reliable and very economical means.
  • the bosses formed on the outer periphery of the plate can be obtained very simply by molding or injection of the plastic material.
  • the second fixing means comprises a slot provided on the upper peripheral edge of the plate, the dial being housed by its peripheral edge in the slot of the plate.
  • the second fixing means comprises a second projection provided on the outer periphery of the plate, a second nail or a second screw holding the peripheral edge of the dial against the upper peripheral edge of the plate by its head, the head of the second nail or the second screw being extended by a rod which is housed in the second boss of the plate.
  • the dial is disposed between a flange and the plate, the nail or the screw being driven or screwed into the flange and coming to take the flange sandwiched between its head and its rod which is housed in the boss of the platinum.
  • the plate comprises at least one centering pin on its upper peripheral edge and the dial comprises on its peripheral edge a notch arranged to cooperate with the centering pin.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of using nails or screws to fix the dial of a watch on a platen.
  • Such fastening means are means that are both simple and therefore economical and that ensure a perfectly reliable immobilization of the dial.
  • the dial does not need to be modified because it is simply held between the head of the nail or the screw and the upper peripheral edge of the plate.
  • the only particular provision relates to the plate that must be provided on its outer periphery as many bosses as are provided with nails or screws. This does not pose a significant problem, however, especially when the plate is made of a molded plastic material or injected. Indeed, it is sufficient in this case to provide in the mold the recesses corresponding to the bosses.
  • a first embodiment of the invention is illustrated in connection with the Figures 1 to 3 .
  • the dial is obtained for example from a metal sheet or a plastic sheet.
  • the dial 1 and the plate 2 are generally circular. It will be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to such a geometry and that the dial 1 and the plate 2 can be of any shape such as square or rectangular.
  • the plate 2 is generally in the form of a ring. It is delimited upwards by a circular peripheral edge 4 on which the dial 1 will come to bear and which is extended downwards by an outer peripheral surface 6.
  • the plate 2 is provided, at a location along the length of its upper peripheral rim 4, with a slot 8 in an arc in which the edge is slid Device 10 of the dial 1.
  • the slot 8 thus provides a first holding point along the vertical axis of the dial 1 on the plate 2.
  • the dial 1 is maintained on the plate 2 according to at least one second point.
  • a screw 12 is used which comprises a head 14 extended by a rod 16.
  • the dial 1 will be held at a location of its peripheral edge 10 between the head 14 of the screw 12 and the upper peripheral edge 4 of the 2.
  • the screw 12 therefore provides a second point for holding the dial 1 on the plate 2 at a time in a vertical direction perpendicular to the plane of the dial 1 and in a radial direction.
  • the boss 18 is formed by an additional material provided locally on the outer peripheral surface 6 of the plate 2 and sufficient to allow screwing of the screw 12.
  • the boss 18 can be obtained very simply by molding or injection of the plastic material.
  • the boss 18 is surmounted by a stud 20.
  • This stud 20 against which the dial 1 bears by its peripheral edge 10 stands on the surface of the upper peripheral edge 4 of the plate 2 and is provided to ensure better guidance of the screw 12.
  • the screw 12 is scheduled at noon and the slot 8 is arranged at six o'clock.
  • the screw 12 and the slot 8 ensure a perfect hold of the dial 1 on the plate 2, so that no other means of maintenance is necessary. For example, at nine o'clock (see figure 3C ), the dial 1 is in simple support on the plate 2.
  • the figure 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein the dial 1 is fixed on the plate 2 by means of two nails 22 at least three in the example shown.
  • the corresponding bosses 18 are provided on the outer peripheral surface 6 of the plate 2 for example at regular distance intervals from each other.
  • the nail 22 scheduled at noon ( Figure 6A ) has a head 24 larger than the nail 22 provided at four o'clock ( Figure 6B ), the head of these nails being extended by a rod 26.
  • the plate 2 comprises at least one centering pin 28 on its upper peripheral edge 4 and the dial 1 comprises on its peripheral edge 10 a notch 30 arranged to cooperate with the centering pin 28
  • a polarizing element such as a pin 32 which is provided on the upper peripheral edge 4 of the plate 2 for example at six o'clock is housed in a corresponding housing 34 formed on the peripheral edge 10 of the dial 1.
  • the figure 7 illustrates another embodiment in which the dial 1 is sandwiched between a flange 36 and the upper peripheral edge 4 of the plate 2.
  • nails 22 are driven into the flange 36, the rod 26 of these nails 22 being housed in the corresponding bosses 18 provided on the outer peripheral surface 6 of the plate 2.
  • the flange 36 is thus held between the head 24 of the nails 22 and the upper peripheral rim 4 of the dial 1 and clasps the dial 1.
  • FIG 8 illustrates yet another alternative embodiment of the invention in which a fastening foot 38 which comes from material with the flange 36 and which is housed in the corresponding boss 18 of the plate 2 can take the dial 1 sandwiched between the flange 36 and the plate 2.
