Abstract

The watch has a case (10) which includes a glass (12), a middle (14) and a back (16), that define a housing (18). The housing has pellets (20), surrounded by an elastomer ring, each formed of a hollow shell (22) in which a movement (24) is disposed. Each shell has hands (28) controlled by the movement, and a back (32) with pushrods (36) at the center to allow modification of the information displayed by the hands. Each hollow shell is dimensioned such that it can move freely. A grid is placed between the back (16) and the pellets, and fixed to the middle.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux montres destinées à être portées au poignet ou dans la poche. Ces montres comprennent généralement une boîte définissant un logement, un mouvement disposé dans le logement et fixé dans la boîte, un cadran et des aiguilles disposées à l'avant du cadran et portées par des mobiles du mouvement.The present invention relates to watches intended to be worn on the wrist or in the pocket. These watches generally include a box defining a housing, a movement arranged in the housing and fixed in the box, a dial and hands arranged at the front of the dial and carried by movement of the mobiles.

Certaines d'entre elles, par exemple celle décrite dans le document EP 0965071 , comprennent un deuxième logement dans lequel sont disposés des pierres décoratives susceptibles de s'y mouvoir. Ces pierres, montées sur des chatons, confèrent à la montre une esthétique particulière, due au mouvement des pierres à l'avant des aiguilles et du cadran.Some of them, for example the one described in the document EP 0965071 , comprise a second housing in which are arranged decorative stones likely to move. These stones, mounted on kittens, give the watch a particular aesthetic, due to the movement of the stones at the front of the hands and the dial.

On connaît par ailleurs des montres dans lesquelles le mouvement est monté mobile en rotation dans la boîte, là aussi en vue d'amener une certaine animation.There are also known watches in which the movement is rotatably mounted in the box, again to bring some animation.

Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, le mouvement est intimement fixé à la boîte, avec, éventuellement, une possibilité de rotation. Le but de la présente invention est de conférer à la montre un caractère encore plus surprenant, tout en permettant une amélioration de son étanchéité.In either case, the movement is intimately fixed to the box, possibly with a possibility of rotation. The object of the present invention is to give the watch an even more surprising character, while allowing an improvement in its sealing.

Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à une montre comprenant :

  • une boîte qui comporte une carrure, une glace et un fond définissant ensemble un logement,
  • un mouvement,
  • des moyens d'affichage commandés par ledit mouvement, et
  • des moyens de correction pour permettre une modification de l'information affichée par les moyens d'affichage.
It relates more particularly to a watch comprising:
  • a box that has a middle, an ice and a bottom defining together a housing,
  • a movement,
  • display means controlled by said movement, and
  • correction means for allowing a modification of the information displayed by the display means.

Dans le présent document, on appelle pastille une structure similaire à une boîte de montre, mais ne comportant pas de moyens de fixation. La montre selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend, en outre, une pastille creuse, dans laquelle est monté ledit mouvement, les moyens d'affichage et les moyens de correction, disposée dans ledit logement et dimensionnée de manière à ce qu'elle puisse s'y mouvoir librement.In the present document, a tablet is called a structure similar to a watch case, but does not include fixing means. The watch according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises, in addition, a hollow pellet, in which said movement is mounted, the means display and correction means disposed in said housing and dimensioned so that it can move freely.

De manière avantageuse, la pastille est munie d'un fond et les moyens de correction comprennent un poussoir disposé dans le fond de la pastille.Advantageously, the pellet is provided with a bottom and the correction means comprise a pusher disposed in the bottom of the pellet.

Afin de faciliter la correction :

  • le poussoir est disposé au centre du fond de la pastille,
  • la boîte est également munie d'un poussoir dans son fond, et
  • le logement de la boîte définit une alvéole dans laquelle la pastille prend place dans une position telle que les poussoirs sont disposés dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre.
In order to facilitate the correction:
  • the pusher is disposed in the center of the bottom of the pellet,
  • the box is also provided with a pusher in its bottom, and
  • the housing of the box defines a cell in which the chip takes place in a position such that the pushers are arranged in the extension of one another.

La présence d'une grille interposée entre le fond de la boîte et la pastille permet de retenir cette dernière à l'intérieur de son logement, même lorsque le fond de la boîte est retiré, tout en permettant l'accès au poussoir.The presence of a grid interposed between the bottom of the box and the pellet makes it possible to retain the latter inside its housing, even when the bottom of the box is removed, while allowing access to the pusher.

En mettant plusieurs pastilles mobiles dans le logement, il est possible d'afficher les heures de plusieurs lieux de manière particulièrement intéressante, l'utilisateur pouvant, au magasin, choisir les lieux desquels il souhaite disposer de l'heure.By putting several mobile tablets in the housing, it is possible to display the hours of several places in a particularly interesting way, the user can, in the store, choose the places from which he wishes to have the time.

Pour éviter que le ou les mouvements montés dans la ou les pastilles subissent des chocs trop violents, la ou les pastilles sont entourées d'une bague en matériau élastique, préférablement en élastomère.To prevent the movement or movements mounted in the pad or pellets undergo shocks too violent, or pellets are surrounded by a ring of elastic material, preferably elastomer.

En variante, le logement contient un liquide dont la masse spécifique est sensiblement égale à celle des pastilles, alors que le centre de gravité des pastilles se trouve compris entre son centre géométrique et six heures des moyens d'affichage, de manière telle que, lorsque la montre est inclinée, les pastilles s'orientent avec le midi tourné vers le haut.Alternatively, the housing contains a liquid whose specific mass is substantially equal to that of the pellets, while the center of gravity of the pellets is between its geometric center and six hours of the display means, so that when the watch is inclined, the pellets are oriented with the south facing upwards.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence au dessin dans lequel :

  • Les figures 1 et 2 illustrent, vue respectivement de dessus et en coupe, une montre selon l'invention ;
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'une partie de la montre selon la figure 1 ; et
  • La figure 4 représente une variante de la montre selon l'invention.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and with reference to the drawing in which:
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate, respectively from above and in section, a watch according to the invention;
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view of a portion of the watch according to Figure 1; and
  • Figure 4 shows a variant of the watch according to the invention.

La montre représentée sur les figures 1 et 2 comporte une boîte 10 munie d'une glace 12, d'une carrure 14 et d'un fond 16, définissant ensemble un logement 18 dont les parois forment un cylindre. Des pastilles 20 sont disposées dans le logement 18. Elles ont une épaisseur légèrement plus faible que la distance séparant le fond 16 de la glace 12, et un diamètre voisin du tiers du diamètre du cylindre, de telle sorte qu'elles peuvent s'y mouvoir librement.The watch shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a box 10 provided with an ice 12, a middle part 14 and a bottom 16, together defining a housing 18 whose walls form a cylinder. Pellets 20 are arranged in the housing 18. They have a thickness slightly smaller than the distance separating the bottom 16 from the ice 12, and a diameter close to one-third of the diameter of the cylinder, so that they can be to move freely.

Chaque pastille 20 est formée d'une coque 22 dans laquelle est disposé un mouvement 24, lequel est surmonté d'un cadran 26 et porte des aiguilles 28. La coque 22 comprend, à l'instar d'une boîte de montre, une carrure 30, un fond 32 et une glace 34.Each pellet 20 is formed of a shell 22 in which is arranged a movement 24, which is surmounted by a dial 26 and carries needles 28. The shell 22 comprises, like a watch case, a middle part 30, a bottom 32 and an ice 34.

La carrure 30 porte, à sa périphérie et sensiblement au milieu de sa hauteur, un anneau de caoutchouc 35 faisant protubérance et jouant un rôle d'amortisseur de chocs.The caseband 30 carries, at its periphery and substantially in the middle of its height, a rubber ring 35 protruding and acting as a shock absorber.

Le mouvement peut être du type commercialisé par la maison ETA (Suisse) sous la référence 201.001. Il est de très petite dimension. Sa mise à l'heure est assurée au moyen d'un poussoir 36 disposé au centre du fond 32 de la pastille 20. Ce poussoir est avantageusement muni d'un joint d'étanchéité, de telle sorte que la coque 22 peut être étanche.The movement can be of the type marketed by ETA (Switzerland) under the reference 201.001. It is very small. Its setting is performed by means of a pusher 36 disposed at the center of the bottom 32 of the pellet 20. This pusher is advantageously provided with a seal, so that the shell 22 can be sealed.

Chacune des pastilles 20 est associée à l'affichage d'une heure différente, l'une indiquant l'heure du lieu de domicile, les autres celles d'autres fuseaux horaires, les noms des ceux-ci étant indiqués sur les cadrans 26 correspondants.Each of the tablets 20 is associated with the display of a different time, one indicating the time of the place of residence, the others of other time zones, the names of these being indicated on the corresponding dials 26. .

Le fond 16 peut, par exemple, être transparent, muni d'un miroir ou encore porter une décoration.The bottom 16 may, for example, be transparent, provided with a mirror or may carry a decoration.

Pour assurer la mise à l'heure de cette montre, ce qui ne doit être fait que rarement puisqu'il s'agit d'une montre à quartz, il suffit de dévisser le fond et d'agir sur le poussoir de la pastille à corriger.To ensure the time setting of this watch, which should be done rarely because it is a quartz watch, just unscrew the bottom and act on the pusher of the pellet to correct.

De manière avantageuse, une grille non représentée au dessin pourrait être interposée entre le fond 16 et les pastilles 20 et fixée à la carrure 14, de manière à ce qu'il n'y ait aucun risque de perdre l'une ou l'autre des pastilles 20 lorsque le fond 16 est enlevé. Cette grille permet d'accéder aux poussoirs 36 mais empêche les pastilles 20 de sortir du logement 18.Advantageously, a grid not shown in the drawing could be interposed between the bottom 16 and the pellets 20 and fixed to the middle part 14, so that there is no risk of losing one or the other. pellets 20 when the bottom 16 is removed. This grid makes it possible to access the push-buttons 36 but prevents the pellets 20 from leaving the housing 18.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté partiellement, en coupe, sur la figure 3, on retrouve la boîte 10 et son fond 16, ainsi qu'une pastille 20 dont le fond 32 est muni d'un poussoir 36. Ce dernier présente, dans sa partie extérieure une assiette 36a occupant la plus grande partie du fond 32.In the embodiment partially shown, in section, in FIG. 3, the box 10 and its bottom 16, as well as a pellet 20 whose bottom 32 is provided with a pusher 36, are found. outer part a plate 36a occupying the greater part of the bottom 32.

Par ailleurs, le fond 16 de la boîte 10 comporte un poussoir 38 qui, lorsqu'il est poussé par l'utilisateur, actionne l'assiette 36a de la pastille se trouvant dans son alignement. Pour assurer la correction des heures affichées par les différentes pastilles, il suffit de les faire défiler l'une après l'autre dans la zone de la boîte 10 comportant le poussoir 38.Furthermore, the bottom 16 of the box 10 includes a pusher 38 which, when pushed by the user, actuates the plate 36a of the pellet lying in alignment. In order to correct the hours displayed by the various tablets, it suffices to scroll them one after the other in the zone of the box 10 comprising the pusher 38.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, et pour faciliter le positionnement des pastilles 20, la carrure 14 présente une alvéole 40 dans laquelle une pastille se positionne lorsqu'on incline la montre selon l'axe midi-six heures, la partie de la boîte au voisinage de laquelle est habituellement affiché midi se trouvant en haut.As can be seen in Figure 4, and to facilitate the positioning of the pellets 20, the middle 14 has a cell 40 in which a tablet is positioned when inclining the watch along the axis midday-six o'clock, the part of the box in the neighborhood of which is usually displayed midday lying at the top.

Dans les deux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, l'étanchéité de la montre peut être assurée tant au niveau de la boîte 10 que des pastilles 20. Cela confère donc une grande sécurité de fonctionnement.In the two embodiments described above, the seal of the watch can be provided both at the box 10 and pellets 20. This therefore provides a high degree of operational safety.

Avec la solution décrite en référence aux figures 3 et 4, il est possible de placer les pastilles 20 dans un liquide contenu dans le logement 18. Par un choix adéquat de la position du centre de gravité et des matériaux constitutifs des pastilles 20 d'une part, du liquide contenu dans le logement 18 d'autre part, il est possible de permettre aux pastilles 20 de s'orienter lorsqu'on incline la montre, de manière à ce que le midi des pastilles se trouve en haut, facilitant ainsi la lecture.With the solution described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, it is possible to place the pellets 20 in a liquid contained in the housing 18. By an adequate choice of the position of the center of gravity and the constituent materials of the pellets 20 of a on the other hand, the liquid contained in the housing 18 on the other hand, it is possible to allow the pellets 20 to orient themselves when inclined the watch, so that the midi of the pellets is at the top, making reading easier.

Les solutions telles que définies offrent des possibilités particulièrement variées, l'acheteur pouvant choisir lui-même les pastilles 20 qu'il entend disposer dans la boîte 10.The solutions as defined offer particularly varied possibilities, the buyer can choose himself the pellets 20 he intends to have in the box 10.

Dans une variante qui n'a pas été représentée, mais qui ne présente pas de difficulté particulière pour l'homme du métier, il est aussi envisageable de fixer un mouvement dans un logement pratiqué dans la boîte 10. De la sorte, la montre pourrait afficher une heure locale fixe, alors que les heures des autres fuseaux horaires, associées chacune à une pastille 20, seraient mobiles dans le logement 18.In a variant that has not been shown, but which does not present any particular difficulty for the skilled person, it is also possible to fix a movement in a housing in the box 10. In this way, the watch could display a fixed local time, while the hours of other time zones, each associated with a pellet 20, would be mobile in the housing 18.

Il est également envisageable de prévoir des pastilles comportant des dispositifs susceptibles d'afficher autre chose que l'heure, par exemple la température, ou simplement avoir une fonction décorative ou commémorative. La marque même de la montre pourrait aussi être associée au fond de la boîte ou faire l'objet d'une pastille en soit.It is also conceivable to provide pellets with devices capable of displaying anything other than the hour, for example temperature, or simply to have a decorative or commemorative function. The very mark of the watch could also be associated with the bottom of the box or be the subject of a pellet in itself.

Dans les deux modes de réalisation décrits, les pastilles sont de forme cylindrique. Il est évident qu'il est aussi possible d'avoir d'autres formes, par exemple à section polygonale ou ovales.In both described embodiments, the pellets are cylindrical in shape. It is obvious that it is also possible to have other shapes, for example polygonal section or oval.
