Abstract

The bezel (4) is mounted on the middle part (1) with the aid of an inclined multifacet wire spring. Between the middle part (1) and the bezel (4) is a flat spring with inclined tongues which form ratchet mechanisms engaging in a toothing of a ring (8). This ring is freely arranged between the middle part (1) and the bezel (4) and its angular position relative to the bezel is determined by pins (9) engaging in holes (10) in the bezel (4). The indexing system of the bezel (4), composed of the toothed ring (8) and of the flat spring (11) with its ratchet mechanisms (12), is thus arranged freely between the bezel and the middle part (1), and all the components are held solely by the elastic force of the springs (6, 11). The elements of the system and its mounting are particularly simple and inexpensive. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne une montre à lunette tournante avec un système d'indexage comportant une couronne à denture et au moins un cliquet qui s'engage dans ladite denture. Les montres connues de ce type et en particulier leur système d'indexage pour le position­nement de la lunette ne sont pas satisfaisants parce que leur fabrication est relativement onéreuse et/ou le mon­tage est également trop compliqué et coûteux.The present invention relates to a watch with a rotating bezel with an indexing system comprising a crown with toothing and at least one pawl which engages in said toothing. Known watches of this type and in particular their indexing system for positioning the bezel are not satisfactory because their manufacture is relatively expensive and / or the assembly is also too complicated and expensive.

Ainsi, le but de la présente invention est de prévoir une montre à lunette tournante avec un système d'indexa­ge particulièrement simple à fabriquer et à assembler, système qui peut aussi être démonté très facilement pour réparer ou remplacer des parties défectueuses ou trop usées. Cette facilité de montage et de démontage permet l'utilisation d'éléments relativement simples venus d'un matériel convenable qui peut être peu résis­tant à l'usure, étant donné que ces éléments peuvent facilement être remplacés. Ce but est atteint en ce que ladite couronne à denture est une partie distincte de la lunette et de la carrure. Autrement dit, cette couronne est un élément librement monté entre la carrure et la lunette sans fixation quelconque ce qui permet l'utili­sation d'éléments simples et un montage également simple.Thus, the object of the present invention is to provide a rotating bezel watch with an indexing system which is particularly simple to manufacture and assemble, a system which can also be very easily dismantled to repair or replace defective or excessively worn parts. This ease of assembly and disassembly allows the use of relatively simple elements from suitable material which can be not very resistant to wear, since these elements can easily be replaced. This object is achieved in that said crown gear is a separate part of the bezel and the middle part. In other words, this crown is an element freely mounted between the middle part and the bezel without any fixing, which allows the use of simple elements and also simple assembly.

De préférence le ou les cliquet(s) qui coopèrent avec ladite couronne à denture font également partie d'un élément distinct de la lunette et de la carrure, c'est-­à-dire d'un élément librement monté entre la carrure et la lunette.Preferably the pawl (s) which cooperate with said ring gear are also part of a separate element of the bezel and the middle part, that is to say of an element freely mounted between the middle part and the glasses.

L'invention sera expliquée en détail à l'aide du dessin qui représente deux exemples d'exécution de la montre selon l'invention.

  • La fig. 1 est une section radiale, et
  • la fig. 2 est une section circonférentielle du premier exemple d'exécution,
  • la fig. 3 est une section radiale, et
  • la fig. 4 est une section circonférentielle du deuxième exemple d'exécution.
The invention will be explained in detail using the drawing which represents two examples of execution of the watch according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 is a radial section, and
  • fig. 2 is a circumferential section of the first embodiment example,
  • fig. 3 is a radial section, and
  • fig. 4 is a circumferential section of the second exemplary embodiment.

La montre représentée partiellement sur les figures 1 et 2 présente une carrure 1 dans laquelle est montée le mouvement de montre non représenté. La carrure présente deux gorges annulaires 2 et 3 destinées au montage de la lunette 4. Sur le fond 5 d'une gorge annulaire de la lunette 4 se trouvent les repères, par exemple des chiffres et des divisions. La lunette 4 est montée sur la carrure 1 à l'aide d'un ressort fil multipan 6 lége­rement incliné et s'engageant dans la gorge 2 de la car­rure 1 ainsi que dans une gorge 7 de la lunette 4. Par ce ressort 6 la lunette 4 est pressée vers le bas contre un épaulement de la carrure. Une couronne 8 à denture est librement disposée entre la lunette et la carrure. La position angulaire de cette couronne 8 par rapport à la lunette 4 est determinée par des goupilles ou ergots 9 de la couronne 8 qui s'engagent dans des encoches ou des trous 10 de la lunette. Dans la gorge 3 de la carrure 1 se trouve un ressort plat 11 avec quelques ergots ou lames élastiques 12 qui font cliquets et qui s'engagent dans la denture de la couronne 8. Les cli­quets 12 sont uniformément répartis autour de la circon­férence. En outre, le ressort 11 présente des ergots 13 qui s'engagent dans des encoches 14 de la carrure 1 pour determiner la position angulaire du ressort plat 11 respectivement des cliquets 12 par rapport à la carrure.The watch partially shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a middle part 1 in which is mounted the watch movement not shown. The middle part has two annular grooves 2 and 3 intended for mounting the bezel 4. On the bottom 5 of an annular groove in the bezel 4 are the marks, for example numbers and divisions. The bezel 4 is mounted on the middle part 1 using a slightly inclined multipan wire spring 6 and engaging in the groove 2 of the middle part 1 as well as in a groove 7 of the bezel 4. By this spring 6 the bezel 4 is pressed down against a shoulder of the middle part. A crown 8 with teeth is freely placed between the bezel and the middle part. The angular position of this crown 8 relative to the bezel 4 is determined by pins or lugs 9 of the crown 8 which engage in notches or holes 10 in the bezel. In the groove 3 of the middle part 1 is a flat spring 11 with some lugs or elastic blades 12 which make pawls and which engage in the teeth of the crown 8. The pawls 12 are uniformly distributed around the circumference. In addition, the spring 11 has lugs 13 which engage in notches 14 of the middle part 1 to determine the angular position of the flat spring 11 respectively of the pawls 12 relative to the middle part.

La couronne 8 et le ressort plat 11 constituent ainsi un système d'indexage pour la lunette, système qui est librement maintenu entre la carrure 1 et la lunette 4 simplement sous l'action des ressorts 6 et 11. D'une part, la lunette 4 est maintenue dans sa position représentée par le ressort 6 tandis que la couronne 8 est maintenue dans sa position en contact avec la lunette et avec ses goupilles 9 s'engageant dans les trous 10 par l'élasticité des cliquets 12 venus d'une pièce avec le ressort plat 11. Il est ainsi évident que le système d'indexage est composé d'éléments extrêmement simples et bon marché et que le montage de ce système respectivement de la lunette avec son système d'indexage est également extrêmement simple. Par traction sur la lunette vers le haut on peut l'enle­ver sous une legère compression du ressort 6 pour rem­placer la couronne 8 ou le ressort 11 défectueux. Il est ainsi possible de prévoir une couronne en plastique et ainsi bon marché qui peut facilement être remplacée. Le système se prête au montage avec n'importe quel type de montre et de lunette soit en métal soit en plastique.The crown 8 and the flat spring 11 thus constitute a indexing system for the bezel, a system which is freely maintained between the middle part 1 and the bezel 4 simply under the action of the springs 6 and 11. On the one hand, the bezel 4 is maintained in its position represented by the spring 6 while the crown 8 is held in its position in contact with the bezel and with its pins 9 engaging in the holes 10 by the elasticity of the pawls 12 coming in one piece with the flat spring 11. It is thus obvious that the indexing system is composed of extremely simple and inexpensive elements and that the assembly of this system respectively of the telescope with its indexing system is also extremely simple. By pulling up on the bezel, it can be removed under a slight compression of the spring 6 to replace the defective crown 8 or the spring 11. It is thus possible to provide a plastic crown and thus inexpensive which can easily be replaced. The system is suitable for mounting with any type of watch and bezel either in metal or in plastic.

Dans les figures 3 et 4 des éléments correspondants sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence que dans les figures 1 et 2. L'exemple d'exécution selon les figures 3 et 4 se distingue essentiellement de l'exemple selon les figures 1 et 2 par le fait que la couronne à denture 8 est placée du côté de la carrure 1 tandis que le ressort plat 11 est placé du côté de la lunette 4. Les ergots ou goupilles 9 de la couronne 8 s'engagent dans des trous 15 de la carrure tandis que les lames 13 du ressort 11 s'engagent dans des trous 16 de la lunette 4.In FIGS. 3 and 4, corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numbers as in FIGS. 1 and 2. The example of execution according to FIGS. 3 and 4 differs essentially from the example according to FIGS. 1 and 2 by the fact that the crown gear 8 is placed on the side of the middle part 1 while the flat spring 11 is placed on the side of the bezel 4. The pins or pins 9 of the crown 8 engage in holes 15 of the middle while the blades 13 of the spring 11 engage in holes 16 in the bezel 4.
