Description
La présente invention concerne les boitiers de montres à affichage par critaux liquides et dans certains cas les montres dites analogiques à condition que les modules soient équipés d'un système de réglage par contact ;
Le réglage de ces montres est actuellement effectud à l'aide de poussoirs encastrés dans le boîtier. Il faut alors dans ce dernier cas utiliser par exemple la pointe d'un stylo pour en effectuer les réglages.The present invention relates to watch cases with liquid crystal display and in some cases so-called analog watches provided that the modules are equipped with a contact adjustment system;
The adjustment of these watches is currently carried out using pushers built into the case. In the latter case, for example, use the tip of a pen to make adjustments.
Le système traditionnel comporte de très nombreux inconvénients tels que le blocage très fréquents des poussoirs, soit à cause de certains métiers soit tout simplement par l'adicité de la transpiration. The traditional system has many drawbacks such as very frequent blocking of pushers, either because of certain trades or simply by the adicity of perspiration.
Une usure très rapide aux manipulations fréquentes s usure sst6- rieure du poussoir mais aussi usure de luiZmene de par sa conception. Very rapid wear and tear with frequent handling s very wear on the pusher but also wear of it Zmene by design.
flanque d'étanchéité presque totale au niveau des montres dites "de ville" et manque d'étanchéité très rapide au niveau des montres de plon- gée ; le seul fait de cogner sans en rendre compte un poussoir de montre dite étanche peut tout remettre en question. almost complete sealing flank in the so-called "town" watches and very rapid lack of sealing in the diving watches; the mere fact of knocking without realizing a so-called waterproof watch pusher can call everything into question.
Le système traditionnel des boîtiers de montres à quartz possède un fond de boite démontable afin de changer les piles, ce qui augmente les problèmes d'étanchéité. The traditional system of quartz watch cases has a removable case back to change the batteries, which increases sealing problems.
Le système traditionnel de fixation des verres de montres à quartz est une fixation : sot d'un adhésif entre verre et boîtier sur une bonne partie de sa surface s soit un montage en force. Dans ces deux eas, il s'agit d'un montage rigide qui rend les verres très fragiles au choc. The traditional system for fixing quartz watch glasses is a fixing: an adhesive between glass and case on a good part of its surface is a force fitting. In these two eas, it is a rigid assembly which makes the lenses very fragile on impact.
Le système selon l'invention consiste à supprimer ces différnts inconvénients d'une part en éliminant les poussoirs de réglage, le fond de boitier démontable et la fixation rigide du verre. The system according to the invention consists in eliminating these various drawbacks on the one hand by eliminating the adjustment pushers, the removable bottom of the case and the rigid fixing of the glass.
La planche (1/3) représente les figures (1) et (2) vues de dessus. The plate (1/3) represents the figures (1) and (2) seen from above.
L'invention s'appliquant aux différentes formes de verre ou de cadrans, les planches (2/3) figure (1) et (3/3) figure (2) représentent les détails suivant la coupe (AB') de la planche (1/3). The invention applying to different forms of glass or dials, the boards (2/3) figure (1) and (3/3) figure (2) represent the details according to the section (AB ') of the board ( 1/3).
Le dispositif de la figure (1) planche (2/5) comporte un boitier de montre (9) dans lequel on pose au fond le dispositif de sonnerie (12) ensuite le module complet (11) composé de ses différents éléments s le circuit imprimé (10) l'affichage numérique (1) la brids de maintien qui fait aussi office de contact (4); pour maintenir le module, on posera dessus une bague (8) en matière plastique dure. The device in FIG. (1) board (2/5) comprises a watch case (9) in which the striking device (12) is placed at the bottom, then the complete module (11) composed of its various elements s the circuit printed (10) digital display (1) the holding flange which also acts as a contact (4); to maintain the module, a ring (8) made of hard plastic will be placed on it.
Cette bague sera perçée de un à quatre trous selon le nombre de contacts voulus. This ring will be drilled from one to four holes depending on the number of contacts desired.
Elle sert aussi à tenir le verre (2) et le cadran (3) ensemble pri sonnier d'un joint (6) spécialement moulé en fonction de la bague (14). It also serves to hold the glass (2) and the dial (3) together with a seal (6) specially molded as a function of the ring (14).
Le cadran a de petits axes soudés qui font office de poussoirs (5). The dial has small welded pins which act as pushers (5).
Le joint (6) de matière caoutchouc très souple doit pouvoir être comprà à plus de 50 % sans jamais perdre de son efficacité (produit existant et déposé) ; il est comprimé de 1/4 environ au moment du montage afin d'obtenir un très bon maintien du verre (2) et aussi afin d'épouser le moindre défaut d'usinage de la bague (14) ou du verre (2) tout en conservant suffisamment de souplesse pour répondre aux exigences de sa fonction.Celle-ci consiste à s'écraser d'une pression du doigt de 4 à 6 dixièmes de millimètre pour le système de la figure (1) et de 6 à 10 dixièmes de millimètre pour le système de la figure (2), lorsque l'on appuit sur le verre (2) à l'endroit choisi selon la fonction désirée pour obtenir le contact suivant les différentes posions (P), figuras (1) et (2) symbolysées sur la planche (1/3). The seal (6) of very flexible rubber material must be able to be more than 50% included without ever losing its effectiveness (existing and deposited product); it is compressed by approximately 1/4 at the time of assembly in order to obtain very good retention of the glass (2) and also in order to conform to the slightest defect in the machining of the ring (14) or of the glass (2) while retaining enough flexibility to meet the requirements of its function.This consists of crushing with a finger pressure of 4 to 6 tenths of a millimeter for the system of Figure (1) and 6 to 10 tenths of millimeter for the system of figure (2), when you press on the glass (2) in the place chosen according to the desired function to obtain the contact according to the different positions (P), figures (1) and (2 ) symbolized on the board (1/3).
Afin d'améliorer l'étanchéité des montres dites wde ville" on met un joint de fabrication traditionnelle (7) sous la bague (14) qui est montée en force suivant le procédé actuel pour ee type de montage. In order to improve the watertightness of so-called wde ville watches, a traditional manufacturing seal (7) is placed under the ring (14) which is force-fitted according to the current method for this type of mounting.
L'invention selan la variante de la figure (2) s'applique aux montres étanches ayant un verre rond. La bague (16) conçue de la maeme manière qu'un fond de boitier traditionnel actuel fait office de presseétoupe et comprime le joint moulé (6) contre le verre (2) afin de le bloquer en vue d'une immerssion profonde. Pour cette maGie raison le joint (7) est d'une plus grande importance que celui de la figure (t). The invention according to the variant of Figure (2) applies to waterproof watches having a round glass. The ring (16) designed in the same way as a current traditional case back acts as a cable gland and compresses the molded seal (6) against the glass (2) in order to block it for deep immersion. For this reason, the seal (7) is of greater importance than that of figure (t).
La vis de bloquage (17) permet de retenir la bague (t6) lorsqu'il faut la dévisser pour effectuer un réglage de la montre. The locking screw (17) retains the ring (t6) when it is unscrewed to adjust the watch.
Afin que cette manipulation soit rendue aussi fonctionnelle qu'ef- ficace on utilise comme pas de vis sur la bague (t6) un pas dit "rapide" afin d'obtenir le blocage ou déblocage en moins d'un tour. In order for this manipulation to be made as functional as it is efficient, a so-called "rapid" pitch is used as the pitch of the screw (t6) in order to obtain locking or unlocking in less than one turn.
Le joint de caoutchouc très souple (6) est conçu pour rester en légère pression entre la bague (16) la bague (8) et le verre (2) quand la bague (16) est dévissée. The very flexible rubber seal (6) is designed to remain under slight pressure between the ring (16) the ring (8) and the glass (2) when the ring (16) is unscrewed.
Afin de ne pas tourner avec la bague (16) la bague (8) comporte un petit: index d'immobilisation. In order not to rotate with the ring (16) the ring (8) has a small: immobilization index.
Dans le cas de la figure (1) et pour améliorer l'étanchéité on pourra enduire le joint moulé (6) d'une colle adhésive. Dans le cas de la figure (2) aussi, sauf sur la partie en frottement avec la bague (16) qui elle sera graissée. In the case of Figure (1) and to improve the tightness we can coat the molded joint (6) with adhesive glue. In the case of Figure (2) also, except on the part in friction with the ring (16) which it will be greased.
Le dispositif suivant la figure (2) étant destiné à la plongée, on pourra fixer une bague de repère (15) dans le corps de la bague (16) suivant le procédé au choix du fabriquant. The device according to figure (2) being intended for diving, a reference ring (15) can be fixed in the body of the ring (16) according to the method of the manufacturer's choice.
Pour changer les piles selon le système de la figure (1) on procède à l'aide d'un couteau de façon traditionnelle en exerçant un effort entre le boitier (9) et la bague (14). To change the batteries according to the system in Figure (1) we use a knife in the traditional way by exerting a force between the housing (9) and the ring (14).
L'ensemble(14) (6) (3) (2) (5) solidaire grâce à la bague de main- tien (8),.il est alors facile et rapide de sortir le module (11) du boitier (9) et de changer les piles. The assembly (14) (6) (3) (2) (5) secured by the support ring (8), it is then easy and quick to remove the module (11) from the housing (9) and change the batteries.
Pour changer les piles selon le système de la figure (2) on retire la vis de retirent (17) on dévisse la bague (16) on soulève lensemblo (8) (3) (2) (6) (5) puis on sort le module (11) du boîtier (9). To change the batteries according to the system in figure (2) remove the screw remove (17) we unscrew the ring (16) we lift the lensemblo (8) (3) (2) (6) (5) then we exit the module (11) of the housing (9).
Une variante (détail V) de la figure (1) planche (2/3) consiste à conserver le fond de boîtier démontable pour rentrer et fixer le module de façon traditionaelle. La bague (14) n'existe plus et fait partie inté- grante du boitier (9). A variant (detail V) of the figure (1) board (2/3) consists in retaining the removable bottom of the housing to return and fix the module in the traditional way. The ring (14) no longer exists and is an integral part of the housing (9).
On pose alors le cadran (3) sur un premier joint (18) plat et très souple toujours de la même matière que le joint (6) figure (1) et (2), puis le verre (2), on coule un joint (20) de cette meme matière afin de maintenir l'ensemble (2) (3) (18) prisonnier dans la gorge du boîtier (9) ; ainsi on conservera malgré ce montage simplifié la même manipulation que les montages précédemment cités. The dial (3) is then placed on a first flat and very flexible seal (18) always of the same material as the seal (6) in figure (1) and (2), then the glass (2), a seal is poured (20) of the same material in order to keep the assembly (2) (3) (18) trapped in the groove of the housing (9); thus, despite this simplified assembly, the same handling will be retained as the above-mentioned assemblies.
Le dispositif objet de l'invention permet d'obtenir une très bonne étanchéité des montres à quartz à cristaux liquides soit dans le cas des montres d'utilisation courante (figure 1) soit dans le cas des montres destinées à la plongée (figure 2). On utilise ce dispositif obJet de l'invention dans le cas des montres quartz analogiques à aiguilles conçues d'un système de remise à l'heure par contact. The device which is the subject of the invention makes it possible to obtain a very good seal for liquid crystal quartz watches either in the case of watches in common use (FIG. 1) or in the case of watches intended for diving (FIG. 2) . This object device of the invention is used in the case of analog quartz watches with hands designed with a contact reset time system.
