Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention se rapporte à une montre destinée à être montée sur un support de manière amovible, comprenant une boite de montre et un dispositif de fixation amovible, indépendant et agencé pour maintenir la boite de montre dans une ouverture prévue sur le support, la boite de montre comprenant une partie supérieure, côté cadran, et une partie inférieure comprenant le fond, ladite partie inférieure étant agencée pour se loger dans l'ouverture du support et étant de dimensions inférieures à celles de la partie supérieure pour former un épaulement périphérique plan.The present invention relates to a watch intended to be mounted on a support in a removable manner, comprising a watch case and a removable attachment device, independent and arranged to hold the watch case in an opening provided on the support, the box watch case comprising an upper part, on the dial side, and a lower part comprising the bottom, said lower part being arranged to be housed in the opening of the support and being of smaller dimensions than those of the upper part to form a plane peripheral shoulder.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Une telle montre est décrite par exemple dans le brevet FR 1 557 197 . La fixation de la boite de montre au bracelet est réalisée par une bague dont la face interne est ajustée au diamètre de la face latérale cylindrique d'un fond-calotte constituant l'élément principal de la boite. La bague est fixée au fond-calotte par chassage. Le chassage présente l'inconvénient de rendre difficile le retrait de la bague par un utilisateur pour séparer le bracelet de la boite de montre, en particulier pour un utilisateur disposant de peu de force. Le changement de bracelet n'est donc pas simple. De plus, si la bague n'est pas correctement ajustée, la bague risque de ne pas rester fixée sur la boite pour maintenir le bracelet. L'ensemble risque alors de se démonter facilement.Such a watch is described for example in the patent FR 1 557 197 . The attachment of the watch case to the bracelet is achieved by a ring whose inner face is adjusted to the diameter of the cylindrical side face of a bottom cap forming the main element of the box. The ring is fixed to the bottom-cap by hunting. Hunting has the disadvantage of making it difficult for the user to remove the ring to separate the bracelet from the watch case, particularly for a user with little strength. The bracelet change is not easy. In addition, if the ring is not properly adjusted, the ring may not remain fixed on the box to hold the bracelet. The whole is then likely to disassemble easily.

Les brevets US 4742503 et EP 0379540 décrivent des dispositifs pour assembler un bracelet à une boite de montre de manière amovible au moyen d'une bague ou d'un anneau permettant de changer aisément le bracelet. Toutefois, dans ces dispositifs, l'anneau ou la bague apparaissent de manière visible autour de la boite de la montre, ce qui nuit à l'aspect esthétique de la montre.Licences US 4742503 and EP 0379540 describe devices for assembling a bracelet to a watch case removably by means of a ring or a ring to easily change the bracelet. However, in these devices, the ring or ring appear visibly around the watch case, which affects the aesthetic appearance of the watch.

La demande EP 0758767 décrit un dispositif pour assembler un bracelet à une boite de montre de manière amovible au moyen d'une bague solidaire du bracelet. Chaque bracelet que possède l'utilisateur pour modifier l'aspect de sa montre doit donc être équipé d'une bague de fixation, ce qui augmente le coût de l'ensemble. De plus, la bague est montée autour de la boite du côté du cadran, de sorte qu'elle apparait de manière visible autour du cadran de la montre, ce qui nuit à l'aspect esthétique de la montre.Requirement EP 0758767 describes a device for assembling a bracelet to a watch case removably by means of a ring integral with the bracelet. Each bracelet that the user has to change the appearance of his watch must be equipped with a fixing ring, which increases the cost of the set. In addition, the ring is mounted around the box on the side of the dial, so that it appears visibly around the dial of the watch, which affects the aesthetic appearance of the watch.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier les différents inconvénients des dispositifs connus de fixation amovible d'un bracelet sur une boite de montre.The invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of known devices for removably attaching a bracelet to a watch case.

Plus précisément, un objectif de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de fixation d'une montre sur un support permettant de changer de support ou de montre, respectivement de manière simple et rapide, sans outil et sans effort.More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide a device for fixing a watch on a support for changing the support or watch, respectively simply and quickly, without tools and without effort.

L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir un dispositif de fixation d'une montre sur un support permettant un maintien suffisant du support sur la boite de montre empêchant la boite de montre de tomber en cas de chocs tout en autorisant un démontage aisé du support sans abimer ce dernier.The invention also aims to provide a device for fixing a watch on a support allowing sufficient support of the support on the watch case preventing the watch case from falling in case of shocks while allowing easy disassembly of the support without damaging it.

L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir un dispositif de fixation d'une montre sur un support permettant de ne pas modifier la forme et l'aspect de la montre.The invention also aims to provide a device for fixing a watch on a support for not changing the shape and appearance of the watch.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une montre destinée à être montée sur un support de manière amovible, comprenant une boite de montre et un dispositif de fixation amovible, indépendant et agencé pour maintenir la boite de montre dans une ouverture prévue sur le support, la boite de montre comprenant une partie supérieure, côté cadran, et une partie inférieure comprenant le fond, ladite partie inférieure étant agencée pour se loger dans l'ouverture du support et étant de dimensions inférieures à celles de la partie supérieure pour former un épaulement périphérique plan.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a watch intended to be mounted on a support in a removable manner, comprising a box of shows and a detachable fastening device, independent and arranged to hold the watch case in an opening provided on the support, the watch case comprising an upper part, dial side, and a lower part comprising the bottom, said lower part being arranged to lodge in the opening of the support and being of smaller dimensions than those of the upper part to form a plane peripheral shoulder.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de fixation comprend un flasque présentant une ouverture centrale agencée pour recevoir la partie inférieure de la boite et un rebord intérieur délimitant ladite ouverture centrale, ledit rebord intérieur étant agencé pour se loger dans l'ouverture du support et présentant sur sa paroi intérieure des moyens de verrouillage du dispositif de fixation sur la partie inférieure de la boite, lesdits moyens de verrouillage étant agencés pour autoriser un verrouillage du dispositif de fixation sur la boite de montre de manière à pouvoir maintenir le support entre le flasque et l'épaulement plan de la boite et pour autoriser un déverrouillage du dispositif de fixation de la boite de montre par application sur le flasque d'une force sensiblement perpendiculaire au flasque et dirigée vers l'extérieur de manière à pouvoir libérer le support.According to the invention, the fixing device comprises a flange having a central opening arranged to receive the lower part of the box and an inner flange delimiting said central opening, said inner flange being arranged to be housed in the opening of the support and having on its inner wall locking means of the fixing device on the lower part of the box, said locking means being arranged to allow locking of the fixing device on the watch case so as to maintain the support between the flange and the plane shoulder of the box and to allow an unlocking of the fastening device of the watch case by application to the flange of a force substantially perpendicular to the flange and directed outwardly so as to release the support.

Ainsi, ce dispositif de fixation d'une montre sur un support est invisible depuis le côté cadran de la montre et permet un maintien suffisant du support sur la boite de montre empêchant la boite de montre de tomber en cas de chocs tout en autorisant un démontage aisé du support sans abimer ce dernier.Thus, this device for fixing a watch on a support is invisible from the dial side of the watch and allows sufficient support of the support on the watch case preventing the watch case from falling in case of shocks while allowing disassembly easy support without damaging it.

De préférence, les moyens de verrouillage peuvent comprendre au moins une nervure prévue sur la paroi intérieure du rebord intérieur, ladite nervure étant agencée pour coopérer avec au moins une gorge prévue en correspondance sur tout ou partie du pourtour de la partie inférieure de la boite.Preferably, the locking means may comprise at least one rib provided on the inner wall of the inner flange, said rib being arranged to cooperate with at least one corresponding groove on all or part of the periphery of the lower part of the box.

D'une manière avantageuse, les moyens de verrouillage peuvent comprendre au moins deux nervures prévues sur la paroi intérieure du rebord intérieur disposées symétriquement par rapport à un axe transversal du dispositif de fixation et séparées par une zone sans nervure. Ceci permet d'améliorer la flexibilité du dispositif de fixation et de faciliter son montage/démontage.Advantageously, the locking means may comprise at least two ribs provided on the inner wall of the inner rim disposed symmetrically with respect to a transverse axis of the fixing device and separated by a zone without rib. This makes it possible to improve the flexibility of the fixing device and to facilitate its assembly / disassembly.

De préférence, le rebord intérieur peut présenter au moins une découpure le long de son bord libre.Preferably, the inner rim may have at least one cut-out along its free edge.

D'une manière avantageuse, le rebord intérieur peut présenter au moins deux découpures le long de son bord libre et disposées symétriquement par rapport à un axe longitudinal du dispositif de fixation, lesdites découpures étant prévues sensiblement au niveau des zones sans nervure. Au moins un espace sans nervure peut être également prévu sur la paroi intérieure du rebord intérieur entre une nervure et une découpure. Ceci permet d'améliorer encore la flexibilité du dispositif de fixation et de faciliter son montage/démontage.Advantageously, the inner flange may have at least two cuts along its free edge and arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis of the fixing device, said cutouts being provided substantially at the level of the zones without rib. At least one space without rib can also be provided on the inner wall of the inner rim between a rib and a cutout. This makes it possible to further improve the flexibility of the fixing device and to facilitate its assembly / disassembly.

D'une manière avantageuse, le flasque peut se prolonger par au moins un rebord extérieur faisant saillie en direction de la boite et agencé pour former avec le flasque un logement pour recevoir le support. Afin d'améliorer encore la flexibilité du dispositif de fixation et de faciliter son montage/démontage, il peut être prévu une découpe entre le flasque et le rebord extérieur.Advantageously, the flange may be extended by at least one outer flange projecting towards the box and arranged to form with the flange a housing for receiving the support. In order to further improve the flexibility of the fixing device and to facilitate its assembly / disassembly, a cutout can be provided between the flange and the outer rim.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, il est représenté une montre 1 montée sur un bracelet 2 de manière amovible. Comme le montre plus précisément la figure 2, le bracelet 2 présente une ouverture centrale 3, de forme ovale, définissant deux zones longitudinales 2a, 2b et deux zones transversales 2c, 2d. Le bracelet peut être réalisé en tout matériau, tel que par exemple cuir, silicone, tissu, pouvant éventuellement comprendre un renfort intérieur.With reference to figures 1 and 2 , there is shown a watch 1 mounted on a bracelet 2 removably. As shown more specifically figure 2 , the bracelet 2 has a central opening 3, of oval shape, defining two longitudinal zones 2a, 2b and two transverse zones 2c, 2d. The bracelet can be made of any material, such as for example leather, silicone, fabric, possibly comprising an interior reinforcement.

La montre comprend une boite de montre 4 comprenant une partie supérieure 4a, située côté cadran, et une partie inférieure 4b comprenant le fond 5 de la boite 4. La partie 4a renferme par exemple un mouvement d'horlogerie, un orifice étant prévu pour l'introduction d'une tige de remontoir terminée par une couronne 6. Dans le cas d'une montre électronique, la partie inférieure 4b peut présenter un logement 7 pour recevoir une pile. La partie inférieure 4b présente des dimensions inférieures à celles de la partie supérieure 4a pour former un épaulement annulaire périphérique plan 8 dont le rôle sera décrit ci-après. Les dimensions des parties supérieure 4a et inférieure 4b de la boite 4 sont telles que seule la partie inférieure 4b se loge dans l'ouverture 3 du bracelet 2. L'épaisseur de la partie inférieure 4b est supérieure à l'épaisseur du bracelet 2.The watch comprises a watch case 4 comprising an upper portion 4a, located on the dial side, and a lower part 4b comprising the bottom 5 of the box 4. The part 4a contains for example a clockwork movement, an orifice being provided for the introduction of a winding stem terminated by a crown 6. In the case of an electronic watch, the lower part 4b may have a housing 7 for receiving a battery. The lower part 4b has dimensions lower than those of the upper part 4a to form a plane annular peripheral shoulder 8 whose role will be described below. The dimensions of the upper parts 4a and lower 4b of the box 4 are such that only the lower part 4b is housed in the opening 3 of the band 2. The thickness of the lower part 4b is greater than the thickness of the band 2.

La montre 1 comprend également un dispositif de fixation 10 amovible, indépendant et agencé pour assurer la fixation amovible de la boite de montre 4 sur le bracelet 2.The watch 1 also comprises a removable fastening device 10, independent and arranged to ensure the removable attachment of the watch case 4 on the bracelet 2.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de fixation 10 comprend un flasque 12 présentant une ouverture centrale 14 et un rebord intérieur 16, faisant saillie sensiblement perpendiculairement au flasque 12 en direction de la boite 4, et délimitant ladite ouverture centrale 14. Comme le montrent les figures 5 et 6, les dimensions (« diamètre ») de l'ouverture centrale 14 et la hauteur du flasque 12 et du rebord intérieur 16 sont choisies pour que la partie inférieure 4a de la boite 4 se loge dans ladite ouverture centrale 14. Par ailleurs, les dimensions (« diamètre ») du flasque 12 et du rebord intérieur 14 sont choisies pour que d'une part le rebord intérieur 16 se loge dans l'ouverture 3 du bracelet, et pour que d'autre part la face intérieure du flasque 12 soit au contact du bracelet 2 sur une distance suffisante pour assurer le maintien dudit bracelet 2 entre la face intérieure du flasque 12 et l'épaulement 8 dans l'espace formé entre le flasque 12 et l'épaulement 8.According to the invention, the fixing device 10 comprises a flange 12 having a central opening 14 and an inner rim 16, projecting substantially perpendicularly to the flange 12 in the direction of the box 4, and delimiting said central opening 14. As shown by FIGS. Figures 5 and 6 , the dimensions ("diameter") of the central opening 14 and the height of the flange 12 and the inner flange 16 are chosen so that the lower portion 4a of the box 4 is housed in said central opening 14. In addition, the dimensions ("Diameter") of the flange 12 and the inner flange 14 are chosen so that on the one hand the inner flange 16 is housed in the opening 3 of the bracelet, and so that on the other hand the inner face of the flange 12 is at the contact of the bracelet 2 over a distance sufficient to ensure the maintenance of said bracelet 2 between the inner face of the flange 12 and the shoulder 8 in the space formed between the flange 12 and the shoulder 8.

De plus, le rebord intérieur 16 présente sur sa paroi intérieure, en direction de l'ouverture centrale 14, des moyens de verrouillage du dispositif de fixation sur la partie inférieure 4b de la boite 4. Plus précisément en référence aux figures 3 et 4, lesdits moyens de verrouillage comprennent deux nervures 18 prévues sur la paroi intérieure du rebord intérieur 16 et disposées symétriquement l'une par rapport à l'autre par rapport à un axe transversal Y du dispositif de fixation. Les deux nervures 18 sont séparées par deux zones 16a, 16b du rebord intérieur 16 sans nervure afin de garantir une certaine flexibilité. Les nervures 18 sont agencées pour coopérer et s'engager dans une gorge 20 prévue en correspondance sur le pourtour extérieur de la partie inférieure 4b de la boite 4. Deux gorges peuvent être prévues ou une seule gorge continue sur sensiblement tout le pourtour de la partie inférieure 4b.In addition, the inner flange 16 has on its inner wall, in the direction of the central opening 14, locking means of the fixing device on the lower part 4b of the box 4. More specifically with reference to the Figures 3 and 4 said locking means comprise two ribs 18 provided on the inner wall of the inner flange 16 and arranged symmetrically with respect to each other with respect to a transverse axis Y of the fastening device. The two ribs 18 are separated by two zones 16a, 16b of the inner rim 16 without ribs in order to guarantee flexibility. The ribs 18 are arranged to cooperate and engage in a groove 20 provided in correspondence on the outer periphery of the lower part 4b of the box 4. Two grooves can be provided or a single continuous groove on substantially all the periphery of the part lower 4b.

Afin d'améliorer la flexibilité du dispositif de fixation 10, le rebord intérieur 16 présente deux découpures 22 le long de son bord libre prévues sensiblement au niveau des zones sans nervure 16a, 16b. Les découpures 22 permettent de diminuer la hauteur du rebord intérieur 16. Les deux découpures sont disposées symétriquement l'une par rapport à l'autre par rapport à un axe longitudinal X du dispositif de fixation 10. De plus, des espaces 24 sans nervure sont prévus sur la paroi intérieure du rebord intérieur 16 entre une nervure 18 et une découpure 22.In order to improve the flexibility of the fastening device 10, the inner flange 16 has two cutouts 22 along its free edge provided substantially at the zones without rib 16a, 16b. The cutouts 22 make it possible to reduce the height of the inner rim 16. The two cutouts are arranged symmetrically with respect to each other with respect to a longitudinal axis X of the fixing device 10. In addition, spaces 24 without a rib are provided on the inner wall of the inner flange 16 between a rib 18 and a cutout 22.

Les dimensions du rebord intérieur 16 et des nervures 18 sont optimisées pour garantir le verrouillage du dispositif de fixation 10 sur la boite 4 tout en permettant un dégagement aisé des nervures 18 de la gorge 20 pour séparer le dispositif de fixation 10 de la boite 4 par simple flexion du flasque 12 selon l'axe Y lorsque que l'utilisateur applique sur le flasque 12 une force sensiblement perpendiculaire au flasque 12 et dirigée vers l'extérieur.The dimensions of the inner flange 16 and the ribs 18 are optimized to ensure the locking of the fastening device 10 on the box 4 while allowing easy release of the ribs 18 of the groove 20 to separate the fastener 10 from the box 4 by simple bending of the flange 12 along the Y axis when the user applies on the flange 12 a force substantially perpendicular to the flange 12 and directed outwards.

Dans la variante représentée, le flasque 12 se prolonge par deux rebords extérieurs 26 faisant saillie en direction de la boite 4, sensiblement perpendiculairement au flasque 12 et disposés symétriquement l'un par rapport à l'autre par rapport à l'axe longitudinal X du dispositif de fixation 10. Les rebords extérieurs 26 se situent sensiblement au regard des découpures 22 et forment avec la partie intérieure du flasque 12 et la boite 4 un logement fermé pour recevoir les zones transversales 2c, 2d du bracelet 2.In the variant shown, the flange 12 is extended by two outer flanges 26 projecting towards the box 4, substantially perpendicular to the flange 12 and arranged symmetrically relative to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the fixing device 10. The outer flanges 26 are located substantially opposite the cutouts 22 and form with the inner portion of the flange 12 and the box 4 a closed housing to receive the transverse zones 2c, 2d of the bracelet 2.

Afin d'améliorer la flexibilité du dispositif de fixation 10, il est prévu quatre découpes 28 entre le flasque 12 et les deux rebords extérieurs 26.In order to improve the flexibility of the fixing device 10, four cutouts 28 are provided between the flange 12 and the two outer edges 26.

Le dispositif de fixation 10 est réalisé en matières plastiques, toutes matières plastiques appropriées pouvant être utilisées.Fixing device 10 is made of plastics, any suitable plastics may be used.

Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite assembler un bracelet 2 à la boite de montre 4, il positionne l'ouverture 3 du bracelet 2 au niveau de la partie inférieure 4b de la boite 4 et de l'ouverture centrale 14 du dispositif de fixation 10. Il verrouille le dispositif de fixation 10 sur la boite 4 en clipsant les nervures 18 dans la gorge 20. Comme le montrent les figures 5 et 6, les zones longitudinales 2a, 2b du bracelet 2 sont maintenues dans l'espace formé entre l'épaulement 8 de la boite 4 et le flasque 12 et les zones transversales 2c, 2d du bracelet 2 sont maintenues dans le logement fermé formé par la boite 4, le flasque 12 et le rebord extérieur 26. Quand la montre est portée, le dispositif de fixation 10 est disposé sous la boite 4 et les zones longitudinales du bracelet 2 de sorte qu'il n'est pas visible pour l'utilisateur et ne modifie pas l'aspect extérieur de la montre. Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite changer de bracelet, il applique sans effort sur les zones longitudinales 2a, 2a du bracelet 2 une force F (cf. figure 5) perpendiculaire au bracelet 2 de manière à faire fléchir le dispositif de fixation 10 autour de l'axe Y par appui des zones longitudinales 2a, 2b sur le flasque 12. Lors de la flexion du dispositif de fixation 10 autour de l'axe Y, les nervures 18 s'écartent et se dégagent de la gorge 20 pour déverrouiller le dispositif de fixation 10 de la boite 4. L'utilisateur peut alors séparer le dispositif de fixation de la boite 4 et retirer le bracelet 2. Le dispositif de fixation 10 est autonome et est réutilisé indépendamment du bracelet 2.When the user wishes to assemble a bracelet 2 to the watch case 4, he positions the opening 3 of the bracelet 2 at the lower part 4b of the box 4 and the central opening 14 of the fastening device 10. locks the fixing device 10 on the box 4 by clipping the ribs 18 in the groove 20. As shown by the Figures 5 and 6 the longitudinal zones 2a, 2b of the bracelet 2 are held in the space formed between the shoulder 8 of the box 4 and the flange 12 and the transverse zones 2c, 2d of the bracelet 2 are held in the closed housing formed by the box 4, the flange 12 and the outer flange 26. When the watch is worn, the fastening device 10 is disposed under the box 4 and the longitudinal zones of the strap 2 so that it is not visible to the user and does not change the appearance of the watch. When the user wishes to change the bracelet, he applies without effort on the longitudinal zones 2a, 2a of the bracelet 2 a force F (cf. figure 5 ) perpendicular to the bracelet 2 so as to bend the fixing device 10 around the axis Y by pressing the longitudinal zones 2a, 2b on the flange 12. When the fixing device 10 bends around the axis Y, the ribs 18 deviate and disengage from the groove 20 to unlock the fastening device 10 of the box 4. The user can then separate the fixing device from the box 4 and remove the bracelet 2. The fastening device 10 is autonomous and is reused independently of the bracelet 2.

Dans la présente description, le support est un bracelet mais il est bien évident que le support peut être tout support approprié.In the present description, the support is a bracelet but it is obvious that the support can be any suitable support.
