Die Befestigung der Drehringeinlage 11 erfolgt wiederum durch Einkleben und/oder durch Einschrauben. Eine Besonderheit besteht bei dieser Ausführung auch noch darin, dass der Drehring 12 mit seinem Ringabschnitt 12.3 den Flansch 2 an seinem freien oberen Rand sowie auch den Randbereich des in diesen Flansch gehaltenen Uhrenglases 15 überdeckt.The assembly takes place in such a way that before mounting the rotary ring 12 on the flange 2 in each slot 14, a ring retaining spring 13 is mounted and pushed so far radially outward that formed on the wider portion of the respective ring retaining spring 13 concave sides flush with the circular cylindrical inner surface of the ring portion 12.3 is located. After placing the rotary ring 12, the ring holding springs 13 are moved radially inwards with a suitable tool at their extending into the groove of the rotary ring 12 narrower side, so that each ring retaining spring 13 then projects beyond the inner surface of the ring portion 12.3 and extends into the circumferential groove 10. By inserting the rotary ring insert 11 in the annular groove of the rotary ring 12, the assembly is completed. The Rotary insert 11 is formed in this embodiment so that it also secures the ring holding springs 13 in their engaging in the circumferential groove 10 position. The attachment of the rotary ring insert 11 is again by gluing and / or by screwing. A special feature of this design is also that the rotary ring 12 with its ring section 12.3 covers the flange 2 at its free upper edge as well as the edge region of the held in this flange watch glass 15.

Die Figuren 5 - 7 zeigen als weitere mögliche Ausführungsform das Uhrengehäuse 1 mit einem Drehring 16, der sich von dem Drehring 12 im Wesentlichen nur dadurch unterscheidet, dass anstelle der drei Ringhaltefedern 13 zur Halterung des Drehringes 16 drei Gleitplättchen 17 vorgesehen sind. Jedem Gleitplättchen 17 ist ein an der Innenseite des Drehringes 16 offener Schlitz 18 zugeordnet, der in eine an der Oberseite des Drehringes 16 offene Ausnehmung 19 mündet. Für die Montage des Drehringes 16 wird jeweils ein Gleitplättchen 17 in einem Schlitz 16 eingesetzt, so dass dieses Gleitplättchen nicht über die kreiszylinderförmige Innenfläche des Drehringes 16 vorsteht. Nach dem Aufsetzen des Drehringes 16 auf den Flansch 2 wird mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug das Gleitplättchen 17 radial nach innen verschoben, so dass es teilweise im Schlitz 16 aufgenommen und teilweise aus diesem Schlitz in die Umfangsnut 16 vorsteht. Durch ein in die Ausnehmung 19 passend eingelegtes Einlegeteil 20 wird jedes Gleitplättchen 17 in dieser Position gesichert. Die Ausnehmungen 19 werden dann durch die Drehringeinlage 11, die wiederum in geeignet Weise, beispielsweise durch Verkleben mit dem Drehring 16 verbunden wird, verschlossen.Figures 5 - 7 show as another possible embodiment, the watch case 1 with a rotary ring 16, which differs from the rotary ring 12 substantially only in that instead of the three ring holding springs 13 for holding the rotary ring 16 three sliding plates 17 are provided. Each sliding plate 17 is assigned a slot 18 which is open on the inside of the rotary ring 16 and opens into a recess 19 which is open at the top of the rotary ring 16. For the assembly of the rotary ring 16, a sliding plate 17 is inserted into a slot 16, so that this sliding plate does not protrude beyond the circular cylindrical inner surface of the rotary ring 16. After placing the rotary ring 16 on the flange 2, the sliding plate 17 is moved radially inwardly with a suitable tool, so that it is partially received in the slot 16 and partially protruding from this slot in the circumferential groove 16. By inserting into the recess 19 fitting insert 20 each slide plate 17 is secured in this position. The recesses 19 are then closed by the rotary ring insert 11, which in turn is connected in a suitable manner, for example by gluing to the rotary ring 16.

Während bei den Ausführungen der Figuren 1 - 7 die von den Kugeln 6 und den Rastfedern 7 gebildeten Kugelrasten mit Rastnuten 5 an der Unterseite des jeweiligen Drehringes 3, 12 bzw. 16 zusammenwirken und somit die von den Kugelrasten auf den Drehring 3, 12 bzw. 16 ausgeübten Kräfte parallel zur Achse des Drehringes wirken, zeigt die Figur 8 als weitere Ausführung einen Drehring 21, bei dem die Kräfte der von den Kugeln 6 und jeweils einem Federblech 21 gebildeten Kugelrasten radial zur Achse des Drehringes 21 wirken und die von den Kugeln 6 und den Federblechen 22 gebildeten Kugelrasten nicht am Uhrengehäuse 1, sondern am Drehring 21 vorgesehen sind.While in the embodiments of Figures 1-7, the ball detents formed by the balls 6 and the detent springs 7 with locking grooves 5 on the underside of the respective rotary ring 3, 12 and 16 cooperate and thus by the ball catches on the rotary ring 3, 12 and. 16 exerted forces acting parallel to the axis of the rotary ring, Figure 8 shows a further embodiment of a rotary ring 21, in which the forces of the ball 6 and each of a spring plate 21 formed ball detents act radially to the axis of the rotary ring 21 and the balls of the sixth and the spring sheets 22 formed ball detents are not provided on the watch case 1, but on the rotary ring 21.

Der Flansch 2 des Gehäuses 1 ist bei dieser Ausführung zusätzlich zu der Umfangsnut 10 mit einer Vielzahl von parallel zur Flanschachse sowie Drehringachse verlaufenden Rastnuten 23 versehen, die wiederum den der Einteilung auf der Drehringeinlage 11 entsprechenden Winkelabstand voneinander besitzen. An der Innenseite ist der Drehring 21 mit Ausnehmungen 24 versehen, die jeweils zur Aufnahme einer Kugel 6 und eines die Kugel 6 radial nach innen federnd vorspannenden Federbleches 22 dient. Zur Sicherung des Drehringes 21 am Flansch 2 ist wiederum der Sprengring 9 verwendet, der sich im montiertem Zustand oberhalb der von den Kugeln 6 gebildeten Kugelrasten befindet, d.h. von der Ringfläche 4 des Gehäuses 1 beabstandet ist, während die Kugeln 6 an dieser Ringfläche geführt sind. Durch den Sprengring 9, aber auch durch die Drehringeinlage 11 sind die Kugeln 6 und die zugehörigen Federbleche 22 auch an der dem Uhrengehäuse 1 abgewandten Oberseite des Drehringes 21 gesichert.The flange 2 of the housing 1 is provided in this embodiment, in addition to the circumferential groove 10 with a plurality of parallel to the flange axis and Drehringachse extending locking grooves 23 which in turn have the division of the rotary ring insert 11 corresponding angular distance from each other. On the inside of the rotary ring 21 is provided with recesses 24, which serves to receive a ball 6 and a ball 6 radially inwardly resiliently biasing spring plate 22. To secure the rotary ring 21 on the flange 2, in turn, the snap ring 9 is used, which is in the mounted state above the ball detents formed by the balls 6, i. is spaced from the annular surface 4 of the housing 1, while the balls 6 are guided on this annular surface. By the snap ring 9, but also by the rotary insert 11, the balls 6 and the associated spring plates 22 are also secured to the watch case 1 facing away from the top of the rotary ring 21.

Die Figuren 10 und 11 zeigen als weitere mögliche Ausführungsform ein Drehring 25, der sich von dem Drehring 21 im Wesentlichen nur dadurch unterscheidet, dass anstelle der von den Kugeln 6 und den Federblechen 22 gebildeten Kugelrasten drei um 120° gegeneinander versetzt Rastelemente 26 mit zugehöriger Feder 27 vorgesehen sind. Für jedes Rastelement ist an der Innenseite des Drehringes jeweils eine Ausnehmung 28 gebildet, und zwar derart, dass das betreffende Rastelement 26 in seiner Ausnehmung 28 radial gegen die Feder 27 verschiebbar aufgenommen ist. Gesichert ist der Drehring 25 wiederum durch den Sprengring 9. Nach dem Montieren dieses Sprengringes sowie insbesondere auch der Drehringeinlage 11 sind die Ausnehmungen 28 einerseits durch die Ringfläche 4 des Gehäuses 1 und andererseits durch den Sprengring 9 und die Drehringeinlage 11 verschlossen, so dass die Rastelemente 26 mit ihren Federn 27 in diesen Ausnehmungen gesichert sind.Figures 10 and 11 show a further possible embodiment, a rotary ring 25 which differs from the rotary ring 21 essentially only in that instead of the balls 6 and the spring plates 22 formed ball detents three offset by 120 ° to each other locking elements 26 with associated spring 27 are provided. For each latching element in each case a recess 28 is formed on the inside of the rotary ring, in such a way that the respective latching element 26 is received in its recess 28 radially against the spring 27 slidably received. The rotary ring 25 is secured in turn by the snap ring 9. After mounting this snap ring and in particular the rotary ring insert 11, the recesses 28 are closed on the one hand by the annular surface 4 of the housing 1 and on the other hand by the snap ring 9 and the rotary ring insert 11, so that the locking elements 26 are secured with their springs 27 in these recesses.

Ebenso wie die Kugeln 6 bestehen auch die Rastelemente 26 aus einem hochfesten Material, beispielsweise wiederum aus Keramik, z.B. aus Siliziumkarbid.As well as the balls 6, the locking elements 26 are made of a high-strength material, for example, again of ceramic, for example of silicon carbide.

Die Figuren 12 und 13 zeigen als weitere Ausführung ein Uhrengehäuse 1 mit einem Drehring 29. Zur Sicherung des Drehringes 29 am Flansch 2 dient wiederum ein geteilter Sprengring 9, der in einer Nut 31 des Drehringes aufgenommen ist. Nach dem Aufsetzen des mit dem Sprengring 9 vormontierten Drehringes 29 auf den Flansch 2 wird der Sprengring 9 durch radiale Schrauben 30 in die Umfangsnut 10 gedrückt, so dass er dann teilweise in der Umfangsnut 10 und teilweise in der Nut 31 aufgenommen ist.Figures 12 and 13 show as a further embodiment, a watch case 1 with a rotary ring 29. To secure the rotary ring 29 on the flange 2 in turn is a split snap ring 9, which is received in a groove 31 of the rotary ring. After placing the preassembled with the snap ring 9 rotary ring 29 on the flange 2 of the snap ring 9 is pressed by radial screws 30 in the circumferential groove 10 so that it is then partially received in the circumferential groove 10 and partially in the groove 31.

Die Figuren 14 und 15 zeigen in Teildarstellung in einem Vertikalschnitt ählich der Figur 2 sowie auch in einem Horizontalschnitt als weitere mögliche Ausführungsform ein Uhrengehäuse 1 mit einem Drehring 32, der wiederum einen Gehäuseabschnitt 2 des Uhrengehäuses umgreift und der durch mehrere mit dem Uhrengehäuse verschraubte und den Drehring 32 übergreifende Plättchen 33 an dem Uhrengehäuse 1 axial gesichert ist. An einer innenliegenden Fläche ist der Drehring 32 mit einer Vielzahl von Rasten 34 in Form von nutenförmigen Vertiefungen und dazwischen liegenden Erhebungen versehen, die mit mehreren in Ausnehmungen 35 des Gehäuseflansches aufgenommenen gefederten Gegenrasten in Form von Kugeln 36 zusammenwirken, so dass ein rastendes Verdrehen des Drehringes 32 möglich ist. Durch einen Dichtungs- oder Gleitring 37, beispielsweise einen PTFE-beschichteten Gleitring ist der Übergang zwischen dem Drehring 32 und dem Uhrengehäuse abgedichtet.Figures 14 and 15 show in partial view in a vertical section similar to Figure 2 as well as in a horizontal section as another possible embodiment, a watch case 1 with a rotary ring 32, which in turn surrounds a housing portion 2 of the watch case and screwed by several with the watch case and the Turning ring 32 cross-plate 33 is axially secured to the watch case 1. On an inner surface of the rotary ring 32 is provided with a plurality of detents 34 in the form of groove-shaped recesses and intervening elevations, which cooperate with a plurality of recesses 35 of the housing flange spring-loaded counter-detents in the form of balls 36, so that a detent rotation of the rotary ring 32 is possible. By a sealing or sliding ring 37, such as a PTFE-coated sliding ring, the transition between the rotary ring 32 and the watch case is sealed.

Die die Kugel 36 radial nach außen gegen die Rasterung 34 drückende Federkraft ist durch ein umlaufendes, für sämtliche Kugeln 36 gemeinsames Federblech 38 erzeugt. Anstelle des umlaufenden Federblechs 38 können auch für jede Kugel 36 eigenständig vorgesehene Federbleche oder Federn, z.B. Blattfedern verwendet sein.The ball 36 radially outwardly against the grid 34 pressing spring force is generated by a circumferential, common to all balls 36 spring plate 38. Instead of the rotating spring plate 38, it is also possible for each ball 36 to have its own spring plates or springs, e.g. Be used leaf springs.

Weiterhin können anstelle der Kugeln 36 auch flache Scheiben verwendet sein, die dann mit ihren Oberflächenseiten parallel zur Ober- bzw. Unterseite des Uhrengehäuses 1 orientiert sind und mit ihrer Umfangsfläche wiederum mit den Rasten 34 zusammenwirken. Die Federspannung zum Andrücken der Scheiben wird wiederum durch ein für sämtliche Scheiben gemeinsames Federblech 38 oder Blattfederelement oder aber durch einzelne Federelemente, beispielsweise durch Blattfedern erzeugt, die die unterschiedlichste Formgebung aufweisen können. Die Verwendung von scheibenförmigen gefederten Rastelementen anstelle von Kugeln 36 hat u.a. den Vorteil einer besonders kleinen Bauhöhe.Furthermore, instead of the balls 36 and flat slices may be used, which are then oriented with their surface sides parallel to the top or bottom of the watch case 1 and in turn cooperate with its peripheral surface with the notches 34. The spring tension for pressing the discs is in turn, produced by a spring plate 38 or leaf spring element which is common to all discs, or else by individual spring elements, for example by leaf springs, which can have very different shapes. The use of disc-shaped spring-loaded locking elements instead of balls 36 has, inter alia, the advantage of a particularly small height.

Weiterhin besteht bei der Ausführungsform der Figuren 14 und 15 auch die Möglichkeit, die axiale Sicherung des Drehringes 32 beispielsweise wiederum durch Sicherungs- oder Halteelemente vorzunehmen, wie sie vorstehend im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 1 - 13 beschrieben wurden, beispielsweise unter Verwendung des Sprengrings 9 oder eines diesem Ring entsprechenden Sprengrings.Furthermore, in the embodiment of FIGS. 14 and 15, it is also possible to perform the axial securing of the rotary ring 32, for example, by securing or retaining elements, as described above in connection with FIGS. 1-13, for example using the snap ring 9 or 9 a snap ring corresponding to this ring.

Im fertig montiertem Zustand ist am Drehring 32 eine der Drehringeinlage 11 entsprechende Drehringeinlage 38 befestigt, beispielsweise durch Einkleben, Verschrauben usw., wobei diese Drehringeinlage 38 auch bei dieser Ausführungsform die von den Kugeln 38 oder den entsprechenden Scheiben gebildeten, gefederten Rastelemente sowie auch die zur axialen Fixierung des Drehrings am Uhrengehäuse dienenden Elemente, nämlich die Plättchen 33 abdeckt.In the final assembled state of the rotary ring 32 is one of the rotary insert 11 corresponding rotary insert 38 secured, for example, by gluing, screwing, etc., wherein this rotary insert 38 also formed in this embodiment, the balls 38 or the corresponding discs formed, spring-loaded locking elements and the axial fixing of the rotary ring on the watch case serving elements, namely the platelets 33 covers.

Die Erfindung wurde voranstehend an verschiedenen Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben. Es versteht sich, dass zahlreiche weitere Änderungen sowie Abwandlungen möglich sind, ohne dass dadurch der der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Erfindungsgedanke verlassen wird.The invention has been described above in various embodiments. It is understood that numerous other changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive concept underlying the invention.
