- the quality of the electrical contacts in a watch must be ensured permanently, in any configuration of use, including acceleration or shock.
- the permanence of the power supply from an accumulator usually a battery, makes it necessary a very good connection between the poles of this accumulator and the circuit or circuits of use.
- the contact at the other pole is commonly performed by a flexible connector, or, preferably, by a spring tab, fixed by screws or rivets to a plate.
- the contacts made by welded flexible connectors, by plug-in strips, or by spring tabs supported on the circuit, also by screws, rivets or the like, or constituting small riders pinching the circuit on the thickness of its slice.
- the invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing to provide a portable object provided with an electrical connection element between the electric accumulator and the electronic circuit mounted on a plate for a permanent electrical connection and which also allows the maintenance of a large accumulator in said platen.
- the invention relates to a portable object comprising at least a middle and a bottom for enclosing an electronic module, said electronic module comprising a plate provided with a housing arranged for the reception of an electric energy accumulator, said electronic module comprising at least one circuit with at least one electrical contact zone, and a connecting contact member to provide a electrical connection between said accumulator and said at least one contact zone, said connecting contact member being elastically deformable, characterized in that said connecting contact member is formed of a shaped blade having a central portion at the ends of which extend at least a first arm and a second converging arm arranged to clamp said electronic module and thereby maintain said accumulator of electrical energy in its housing.
- An advantage of the present invention is to allow to have a portable object whose maintenance of the stack in the platen is well assured.
- said at least one first arm and a second arm converge in the same plane.
- the central portion is flat, said flat portion being in contact with said accumulator of electrical energy when the bottom is fixed to the middle part.
- the central portion comprises at least one tip arranged to be in contact with said accumulator of electrical energy, the bottom fixed to the middle part exerting a force on said electronic module via the at least one tip of said organ link contact.

- the invention relates more particularly to the mechanical and electrical connection between an accumulator and a circuit, on either side of a plate. In particular, it is, in a watch, to ensure in all circumstances the contact between the plus of the battery and the bottom of the box.
- the invention visible at a figure 1 relates to a structure 1 of timepiece 100, including a watch, comprising at least a middle 2 and a bottom 3 for enclosing an electronic or electrical module 10.
- This electronic module sends information to a display module.
- This module 10 itself comprises a plate 4, a compartment or housing 41 is arranged for receiving an electric energy accumulator 5, including a battery.
- the plate 4 can be arranged so that the compartment 41, in which the electric energy accumulator is placed, occupies almost the entire surface of the plate 4.
- the compartment 41 of the plate 4 occupies the entire surface of the latter with the exception of a peripheral portion 42 defining said compartment 41 as visible in FIG. figure 6 .
- This module 10 also comprises at least one circuit 6 with at least one electrical contact zone 7, and a connection contact member 8 for providing an electrical connection between an accumulator 5 and a contact zone 7.
- This contact contact member 8 is elastically deformable so that when it undergoes strain deforming, its elastic capacity tends to bring it back to a geometry of rest.
- this connecting contact member 8 is entirely elastic and is made in the form of a spring.
- the binding contact member is in the form of a shape-shaped blade 8.
- This shape-shaped blade 8 comprises a part central 81 rectilinear and having a flat profile as visible in the figure 1 .
- the shaped blade 8 comprises a first arm 83 and a second arm 83
- said shaped blade 8 is arranged so that said first arm 83 and said second arm 83 extend in the same plane. It is understood that the first arm 83 and the second arm 83 extend in the plane perpendicular to the plane of the central portion 81.
- the first arm 83 and the second arm 83 extend so as to converge.
- This configuration of the arms 83 provides a shape of blade 8 which, naturally, has a function of clamp.
- said accumulator 5 is, in the first place, placed in its compartment.
- the link contact member is attached to said electronic module.
- the electronic module 10 comprises two notches 11 arranged on the outer face of the module 10. These notches are made to be diametrically opposed as visible in FIG. figure 5 .
- the first arm 83 and the second arm 83 are spaced apart and fit into the slots provided.
- the stress exerted on the arms is then released so that the first and second arms 83 tend to return to their rest position, thereby pinching said module 10. It is then sufficient to exert a force on the central part of the force plate 8 to drag the latter and position it in its final position.
- This final position is characterized in that the central portion 81 is in contact with the electric energy accumulator 5.
- the first arm or the second arm is in contact with a contact zone 7 of the circuit 6.
- This contact zone 7 is in the form of a metallization which can be located on the edge of the circuit 6.
- a contact zone 7 is arranged at each notch so that each arm allows electrical conduction.
- the central portion 81 has a non-flat profile. Specifically, the central portion 81 has a profile provided with several points 84 that is to say that the central portion 81 is in three dimensions. These points 84 may be protrusions 86 arranged on the central portion 81 and extending perpendicularly to the plane of the central portion. These tips 84 may be made by plastically deforming said central portion 81 so that it has a non-rectilinear profile that is to say including protruding areas 87 preferably extending towards the stack. For example, the profile may be sinusoidal or triangular.
- the central portion 81 is arranged to have two tips 84. These tips 84 can improve the electrical contact. This improvement of the electrical contact is due to the three-dimensional realization of the central part. Indeed, with this variant, the central portion of the shaped blade 8 is in contact with the electric energy accumulator 5 only by the tips 84 which it is provided.
- the fact that the central portion is in three dimensions causes, when the electronic module 10 is placed in the housing 1 and the bottom 3 is fixed, the appearance of a constraint. This constraint is exerted on the connecting contact member 8 which transmits this constraint to the electronic module. This constraint is the result of the fact that the volume needed to encompass the central part in three dimensions is more important than if said central portion was flat. Since the internal dimensions of the housing do not change, a constraint appears.
- this constraint makes it possible to immobilize the electronic module in the box of the portable object. Indeed, the stress exerted by the bottom 3 on the contact contact member 8 is transmitted on the plate 4 which is then plated on the display module. The electronic module 10 is, therefore, held stationary by the assembly formed of the connecting contact member 8 and the bottom 3.
- each arm 83 are curved.
- Each free end 85 is curved so as to have a curvature opposite to the curvature of said arm 83. It is then clear that this free end 85 tends to diverge.
- This configuration of the free ends 85 of the arms 83 facilitates the mounting of said contact contact member 8. Indeed, when the connecting contact member 8 is attached to the electronic module 10, the curved free ends 85 will come into contact with each other. with said module 10. The divergent curvature of said ends causes a spacing of said free ends 85 and therefore a spacing of said arms 83. This spacing makes it possible to fix the connecting contact member 8 without the user having to move the arms 83 apart. -even. This operation is done automatically when the user wants to fix said contact contact member 8.
- the connecting contact member 8 is arranged so that several arms 83 extend from each end 82 of the central portion 81.
- two arms 83 extend from each end 82 of the part
- the electronic module 10 is arranged so that the notches located on the outer face of the module 10 are adapted.
- a number of notches 11 identical to the number of arms 83 is provided or that the notches have a size to have several arms 83 by notch 11.
- each end of the central portion has a shape similar to a Y.
- the different arms of the shape blade are all convergent towards a single point.
- the electric energy accumulator 5 does not occupy the entire surface of the plate 4, the compartment for said accumulator being dimensioned accordingly. Said platen is then provided, near this compartment, orifices in which the notches for the connecting contact member are made.

Description
L'invention concerne une un objet portable comportant au moins une carrure et un fond pour renfermer un module électronique, ledit module électronique comportant une platine munie d'un logement agencé pour la réception d'un accumulateur d'énergie électrique, ledit module électronique comportant au moins un circuit avec au moins une zone de contact électrique, et un organe de contact de liaison pour assurer une liaison électrique entre ledit accumulateur et ladite au moins une zone de contact, ledit organe de contact de liaison étant déformable élastiquement.The invention relates to a portable object comprising at least a middle and a bottom for enclosing an electronic module, said electronic module comprising a plate provided with a housing arranged for receiving an accumulator of electrical energy, said electronic module comprising at least one circuit with at least one electrical contact area, and a contact contact member for providing an electrical connection between said accumulator and said at least one contact area, said connecting contact member being resiliently deformable.
L'invention concerne encore une piĂšce d'horlogerie comportant au moins une telle structure.The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising at least one such structure.
L'invention concerne le domaine de l'horlogerie, et en particulier le domaine des montres comportant au moins un circuit électronique ou électrique alimenté par un accumulateur tel qu'une pile ou similaire. L'invention concerne plus particuliÚrement la liaison mécanique et électrique entre un accumulateur et un circuit, de part et d'autre d'une platine.The invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and in particular the field of watches comprising at least one electronic or electrical circuit powered by an accumulator such as a battery or the like. The invention relates more particularly to the mechanical and electrical connection between an accumulator and a circuit, on either side of a plate.
La qualitĂ© des contacts Ă©lectriques dans une montre doit ĂȘtre assurĂ©e en permanence, dans toute configuration d'utilisation, et notamment d'accĂ©lĂ©ration ou de choc. Tout particuliĂšrement, la permanence de l'alimentation Ă©lectrique depuis un accumulateur, en gĂ©nĂ©ral une pile, rend nĂ©cessaire une trĂšs bonne connexion entre les pĂŽles de cet accumulateur et le ou les circuits d'utilisation. On connaĂźt notamment la fixation d'une pile dans un logement constituĂ© par des languettes de ressort, qui maintiennent la pile tout en assurant le contact sur un de ses pĂŽles. Le contact Ă l'autre pĂŽle est effectuĂ© couramment par un connecteur souple, ou, de prĂ©fĂ©rence, par une patte faisant ressort, fixĂ©e par vis ou rivets Ă une platine.The quality of the electrical contacts in a watch must be ensured permanently, in any configuration of use, including acceleration or shock. In particular, the permanence of the power supply from an accumulator, usually a battery, makes it necessary a very good connection between the poles of this accumulator and the circuit or circuits of use. It is in particular known to fix a battery in a housing constituted by spring tongues, which hold the battery while ensuring contact on one of its poles. The contact at the other pole is commonly performed by a flexible connector, or, preferably, by a spring tab, fixed by screws or rivets to a plate.
Du cÎté des circuits d'utilisation, on connaßt les contacts réalisés par des connecteurs souples soudés, par des barrettes enfichables, ou par des pattes ressort appuyées sur le circuit, également par vis, rivet ou similaire, ou bien constituant de petits cavaliers pinçant le circuit sur l'épaisseur de sa tranche.On the side of the circuits of use, the contacts made by welded flexible connectors, by plug-in strips, or by spring tabs supported on the circuit, also by screws, rivets or the like, or constituting small riders pinching the circuit on the thickness of its slice.
Pour réaliser un contact permanent de qualité, avec le nombre le plus réduit de composants, on connaßt encore , par exemple par le document
Toutefois, ces appuis sont de mĂȘme sens, et l'appui permanent de la patte de ressort sur le circuit n'est pas garanti. Ainsi, lors d'un choc ou d'un mouvement brusque, il est possible que la patte de ressort ne fasse plus appui. Une telle disposition nĂ©cessite par ailleurs une liaison mĂ©canique dĂ©diĂ©e Ă l'assemblage du circuit sur une platine porteuse de la pile.However, these supports are the same direction, and the permanent support of the spring tab on the circuit is not guaranteed. Thus, during a shock or a sudden movement, it is possible that the spring tab is no longer support. Such an arrangement also requires a mechanical connection dedicated to the assembly of the circuit on a carrier plate of the battery.
L'invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant de fournir un objet portable muni d'un élément de liaison électrique entre l'accumulateur électrique et le circuit électronique monté sur une platine permettant une liaison électrique permanente et qui permet également le maintien d'un accumulateur de grande taille dans ladite platine.The invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing to provide a portable object provided with an electrical connection element between the electric accumulator and the electronic circuit mounted on a plate for a permanent electrical connection and which also allows the maintenance of a large accumulator in said platen.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un objet portable comportant au moins une carrure et un fond pour renfermer un module électronique, ledit module électronique comportant une platine munie d'un logement agencé pour la réception d'un accumulateur d'énergie électrique, ledit module électronique comportant au moins un circuit avec au moins une zone de contact électrique, et un organe de contact de liaison pour assurer une liaison électrique entre ledit accumulateur et ladite au moins une zone de contact, ledit organe de contact de liaison étant déformable élastiquement,
caractérisé en ce que ledit organe de contact de liaison est formé d'une lame de forme comportant une partie centrale aux extrémités de laquelle s'étendent au moins un premier bras et un deuxiÚme bras convergents agencés pour pincer ledit module électronique et maintenir ainsi ledit accumulateur d'énergie électrique dans son logement.For this purpose, the invention relates to a portable object comprising at least a middle and a bottom for enclosing an electronic module, said electronic module comprising a plate provided with a housing arranged for the reception of an electric energy accumulator, said electronic module comprising at least one circuit with at least one electrical contact zone, and a connecting contact member to provide a electrical connection between said accumulator and said at least one contact zone, said connecting contact member being elastically deformable,
characterized in that said connecting contact member is formed of a shaped blade having a central portion at the ends of which extend at least a first arm and a second converging arm arranged to clamp said electronic module and thereby maintain said accumulator of electrical energy in its housing.
Un avantage de la présente invention est de permettre d'avoir un objet portable dont la maintien de la pile dans la platine est bien assuré.An advantage of the present invention is to allow to have a portable object whose maintenance of the stack in the platen is well assured.
Dans un premier mode de rĂ©alisation avantageux, lesdits au moins un premier bras et un deuxiĂšme bras convergent dans le mĂȘme plan.In a first advantageous embodiment, said at least one first arm and a second arm converge in the same plane.
Dans un second mode de réalisation avantageux, la partie centrale est plane, ladite partie plane étant en contact dudit accumulateur d'énergie électrique lorsque le fond est fixé à la carrure.In a second advantageous embodiment, the central portion is flat, said flat portion being in contact with said accumulator of electrical energy when the bottom is fixed to the middle part.
Dans un troisiĂšme mode de rĂ©alisation avantageux, la partie centrale comprend au moins une pointe agencĂ©e pour ĂȘtre en contact dudit accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique, le fond fixĂ© Ă la carrure exerçant une force sur ledit module 10 Ă©lectronique via la au moins une pointe dudit organe de contact de liaison.In a third advantageous embodiment, the central portion comprises at least one tip arranged to be in contact with said accumulator of electrical energy, the bottom fixed to the middle part exerting a force on said electronic module via the at least one tip of said organ link contact.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, la partie centrale est déformée de sorte à comprendre au moins une partie saillantes formant ladite au moins une pointe.In another advantageous embodiment, the central portion is deformed so as to comprise at least one projecting part forming said at least one point.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, la partie centrale comprend au moins une excroissance s'étendant depuis ladite partie centrale et formant ladite au moins une pointe.In another advantageous embodiment, the central portion comprises at least one protrusion extending from said central portion and forming said at least one tip.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, la partie centrale comprend deux pointes.In another advantageous embodiment, the central portion comprises two points.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, chaque bras comprend une extrémité libre courbée de sorte à diverger.In another advantageous embodiment, each arm comprises a free end curved so as to diverge.

L'invention concerne le domaine de l'horlogerie, et en particulier le domaine des montres comportant au moins un circuit électronique ou électrique alimenté par un accumulateur tel qu'une pile ou similaire. L'invention concerne plus particuliÚrement la liaison mécanique et électrique enter un accumulateur et un circuit, de part et d'autre d'une platine. En particulier, il s'agit, dans une montre, d'assurer en toute circonstance le contact entre le plus de la pile et le fond de la boßte.The invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and in particular the field of watches comprising at least one electronic or electrical circuit powered by an accumulator such as a battery or the like. The invention relates more particularly to the mechanical and electrical connection between an accumulator and a circuit, on either side of a plate. In particular, it is, in a watch, to ensure in all circumstances the contact between the plus of the battery and the bottom of the box.
L'invention, visible Ă a
Ce module 10 comporte lui-mĂȘme une platine 4 dont un compartiment ou logement 41 est agencĂ© pour la rĂ©ception d'un accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique 5, notamment une pile. La platine 4 peut ĂȘtre agencĂ©e pour que le compartiment 41, dans lequel l'accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique est placĂ©, occupe la quasi-totalitĂ© de la surface de la platine 4. Par exemple, il est envisageable que le compartiment 41 de la platine 4 occupe toute la surface de cette derniĂšre Ă l'exception d'une partie pĂ©riphĂ©rique 42 dĂ©finissant ledit compartiment 41 comme visible Ă la
Selon l'invention, l'organe de contact de liaison se présente sous la forme d'une lame de forme 8. Cette lame de forme 8 comprend une partie centrale 81 rectiligne et présentant un profil plat comme visible à la
Dans le cas oĂč la lame de forme 8 comprend un premier bras 83 et un second bras 83, ladite lame de forme 8 est agencĂ©e pour que ledit premier bras 83 et ledit second bras 83 s'Ă©tendent dans le mĂȘme plan. On comprend que le premier bras 83 et le second bras 83 s'Ă©tendent suivant le plan perpendiculaire au plan de la partie centrale 81.In the case where the
Avantageusement, le premier bras 83 et le second bras 83 s'Ă©tendent de sorte Ă converger. Cette configuration des bras 83 permet d'obtenir une lame de forme 8 qui, naturellement, a une fonction de pince. En effet, lors du montage de l'accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique 5 dans la platine, ledit accumulateur 5 est, en premier lieu, placĂ© dans son compartiment. Puis, l'organe de contact de liaison est fixĂ© audit module 10 Ă©lectronique. Pour cela, le module 10 Ă©lectronique comprend deux encoches 11 agencĂ©es sur la face extĂ©rieure du module 10. Ces encoches sont rĂ©alisĂ©es pour ĂȘtre diamĂ©tralement opposĂ©es comme visible Ă la
Ainsi, lors de la fixation de l'organe de liaison de contact 8, le premier bras 83 et le second bras 83 sont Ă©cartĂ©s et s'insĂšrent dans les encoches prĂ©vues. La contrainte exercĂ©e sur les bras est ensuite relĂąchĂ©e de sorte que les premiers et seconds bras 83 tendent Ă reprendre leur position de repos, pinçant ainsi ledit module 10. Il suffit alors d'exercer une force sur la partie centrale de la lame de force 8 pour faire glisser cette derniĂšre et la positionner dans sa position dĂ©finitive. Cette position dĂ©finitive se caractĂ©rise par le fait que la partie centrale 81 se trouve au contact de l'accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique 5. De mĂȘme, le premier bras ou le second bras se trouve en contact d'une zone de contact 7 du circuit 6. Cette zone de contact 7 se prĂ©sente sous la forme d'une mĂ©tallisation pouvant ĂȘtre situĂ©e sur la tranche du circuit 6. De ce fait, une conduction Ă©lectrique est rĂ©alisĂ©e entre l'accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique et le circuit 6.Thus, during the fixing of the
De façon avantageuse, une zone de contact 7 est agencĂ©e au niveau de chaque encoche de sorte que chaque bras permette une conduction Ă©lectrique. Une fois l'organe de contact de liaison 8 fixĂ©, le module 10 Ă©lectronique est placĂ© dans le boĂźtier et le fond est fixĂ©. Ce fond 3 peut ĂȘtre vissĂ© ou chassĂ© ou encliquetĂ© Ă la carrure. De prĂ©fĂ©rence, le module 10 Ă©lectronique et le fond 3 sont agencĂ©s pour que ledit fond 3 et l'organe de contact de liaison 8 soient en contact.Advantageously, a
Dans une premiĂšre variante visible aux
Avantageusement, la partie centrale 81 est agencée pour avoir deux pointes 84. Ce pointes 84 permettent d'améliorer le contact électrique. Cette amélioration du contact électrique est due à la réalisation en trois dimensions de la partie centrale. Effectivement, avec cette variante, la partie centrale de la lame de forme 8 n'est en contact avec l'accumulateur d'énergie électrique 5 que par les pointes 84 dont elle est munie. Le fait que la partie centrale soit en trois dimensions entraßne, lorsque le module 10 électronique est placé dans le boitier 1 et que le fond 3 est fixé, l'apparition d'une contrainte. Cette contrainte est exercée sur l'organe de contact de liaison 8 qui transmet cette contrainte au module 10 électronique. Cette contrainte est le résultat du fait que le volume nécessaire pour englober la partie centrale en trois dimensions est plus important que si ladite partie centrale était plate. DÚs lors que les dimensions intérieures du boßtier ne changent pas, une contrainte apparait.Advantageously, the
Cette contrainte permet premiĂšrement de plaquer l'organe de contact de liaison 8 sur l'accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique 5. En consĂ©quence, le contact Ă©lectrique fait par ledit organe 8 entre le circuit 6 et l'accumulateur d'Ă©nergie Ă©lectrique 5 est efficace et ne risque pas d'ĂȘtre interrompu.This constraint firstly makes it possible to press the
DeuxiÚmement, cette contrainte permet d'immobiliser le module 10 électronique dans le boitier de l'objet portable. En effet, la contrainte exercée par le fond 3 sur l'organe de contact de liaison 8 est transmise sur la platine 4 qui est alors plaquée sur le module d'affichage. Le module 10 électronique est, par conséquent, maintenu immobile par l'ensemble formé de l'organe de contact de liaison 8 et du fond 3.Secondly, this constraint makes it possible to immobilize the electronic module in the box of the portable object. Indeed, the stress exerted by the
