Definitions
- the invention relates to wristwatch cases allowing their wearer to read the time in the bent arm position in a natural way, but without having, moreover, to turn the wrist.
- Folding the forearm and simultaneously turning the wrist are, it is true, movements carried out instinctively by the wearer of a wristwatch, when the latter wants to know the time it is at a certain time.
- the second movement - rotation of the wrist - is not always easy, if not possible. This is often the case when the left hand, in general, is busy holding a tool or the steering wheel of a car, for example. This is why some wristwatchers place their watch, for convenience or snobbery, not in the normal place: on the wrist; but on the side of the latter. This position of the watch is however not very stable, due to the flat bottom of its case. Depending on the movements made by the wearer, the watch turns around the wrist and soon returns to its normal position on the wrist or slides under it.
- the present invention aims to create a case the thickness of which does not exceed that of conventional cases of wristwatches, in which a standard movement with dial and conventional hands can be mounted in the usual way and which has these members. indicators in the most favorable position around the wrist to allow the time to be read by simply bending the forearm, this position being perfectly stabilized, even if the bracelet surrounds free the wrist, without exerting annoying pressure on the latter.
- the housing defined by claim 1 fulfills these conditions. It obviously does not have the same camber everywhere. If it is very curved in the section which will be pressed against the side of the wrist, that intended to extend on the upper face of the latter is, on the other hand, practically flat. This makes it possible to choose the location of the housing intended to receive the movement of the watch where it is still possible to mount a standard movement without causing an unsightly increase in the thickness of the case and where the dial of the watch - bent arm - is nevertheless in the visual field of its wearer, without requiring, moreover, a rotation of the wrist. In addition, any rotation of this case around the wrist is excluded, due to its shape. Finally, as this case extends over the major part of the face of the wrist exposed to the view of third parties, it can be decorated as original as it is attractive in this location.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of this embodiment.
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a variant.
- the case 1 (FIG. 1) comprises three sections: a section la, very cylindrical curved, which is intended to be applied against the side of the wrist; a substantially flat section 1b, which is intended to extend over the major part of the upper face of the wrist, and a section lc which connects the other two sections to each other. These three sections naturally form a single rigid body.
- a housing 2 (Fig. 2) is arranged in the section lc of the housing 1. This housing 2 is intended to receive a standard watch movement 3.
- the dial 4 is thus in an oblique position relative to the section lb of the housing. When the arm is simply bent, the dial 4 is in the visual field of the watch wearer, without the latter having, in addition, to turn the wrist. A motorist therefore sees the time indicated by the hands 5 without letting go of the steering wheel. he the same goes for the worker who holds in his left hand a tool or a part on which he works with the right hand.
- the external face 6 of the housing is almost flat.
- the part of the housing 1 forming the bottom of the housing 2 has practically the same thickness as the bottom of the usual housings, intended to be worn on the upper face of the wrist.
- the case 1 therefore does not need to be made thicker than those worn on the wrist.
- the watch movement is nested from the dial side in a conventional manner.
- the bottom of the housing 2 being constituted by a cover from one-piece production with the body 1a, 1b, 1c of the housing 1, it could naturally also be independent of it and be fixed to this body by screws. This would allow movement to follow from the back side of the case.
- the sections 1a and 1b of the housing 1 can be hollow and can receive, for example, elements or devices associated with the movement 3, such as one or more batteries, sound generators, commands for accessory functions of the movement 3.
- elements or devices associated with the movement 3 such as one or more batteries, sound generators, commands for accessory functions of the movement 3.
- the variant shown in FIG. 2 differs from the embodiment described above only by a second housing 7 arranged in section 1b of the housing 1 and opening into its upper face.
- This housing 7 can be furnished with a device foreign to the indication of the time, such as calculator, barometer, thermometer, compass or receiver.
- This second housing could also be arranged so as to be able to be closed by a plate customizing the watch, for example by wearing the zodiacal sign, the initials, the coat of arms of its wearer or any other decorative motif, as the latter chooses.
- the case 1 is provided in a known manner with members allowing it to hang a conventional bracelet.
- this bracelet will include two strands 8, 9 and a clasp 10. So that the latter takes place, as usual, under the wrist, the two strands 8, 9 will have different lengths.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne les boîtiers de montre-bracelet permettant à leur porteur de lire l'heure en position du bras coudé de façon naturelle, mais sans devoir, en outre, tourner le poignet.The invention relates to wristwatch cases allowing their wearer to read the time in the bent arm position in a natural way, but without having, moreover, to turn the wrist.
Replier l'avant-bras et tourner simultanément le poignet sont, il est vrai, des mouvements effectués instinctivement par le porteur d'une montre-bracelet, lorsque celui-ci veut savoir l'heure qu'il est à un certain moment. Le second mouvement - rotation du poignet - n'est cependant pas toujours aisé, voire possible. C'est souvent le cas quand la main - gauche, en général - est occupée à tenir un outil ou le volant d'une voiture, par exemple. C'est pourquoi certains porteurs de montre-bracelet placent leur montre, par convenance ou par snobisme, non à l'endroit normal: sur le poignet; mais sur le côté de ce dernier. Cette position de la montre n'est toutefois pas très stable, en raison du fond plat de son boîtier. Selon les mouvements effectués par le porteur, la montre tourne autour du poignet et revient bientôt dans sa position normale sur le poignet ou glisse sous celui-ci.Folding the forearm and simultaneously turning the wrist are, it is true, movements carried out instinctively by the wearer of a wristwatch, when the latter wants to know the time it is at a certain time. The second movement - rotation of the wrist - is not always easy, if not possible. This is often the case when the left hand, in general, is busy holding a tool or the steering wheel of a car, for example. This is why some wristwatchers place their watch, for convenience or snobbery, not in the normal place: on the wrist; but on the side of the latter. This position of the watch is however not very stable, due to the flat bottom of its case. Depending on the movements made by the wearer, the watch turns around the wrist and soon returns to its normal position on the wrist or slides under it.
On connaît cependant des boîtiers dont la face externe du fond est très incurvée selon une surface cylindrique, afin de plaquer la montre contre le côté du poignet (CH-A-204'916, CH-A-205'244, CH-A-500'529, FR-A-2'449'915, DE-MU-7'410'210). A moins que le bracelet n'enserre fortement le poignet, ce qui serait gênant, la position de ces boîtiers autour du poignet n'est pas stable. De plus, cette solution entraîne une augmentation d'épaisseur considérable, en particulier si on veut utiliser un mouvement aux dimensions en rapport avec celles du boîtier. Par ailleurs, ne présenter que le bracelet sur la face supérieure du poignet, la plus exposée à la vue des tiers, ne convient pas aux personnes fières d'exhiber leur montre. Enfin, la position d'une montre à affichage analogique sur le côté du poignet n'est pas idéale pour lire l'heure sans rotation du poignet. La position la plus favorable à cet effet est une position intermédiaire entre le côté et la face supérieure du poignet.However, cases are known whose outer face of the back is very curved along a cylindrical surface, in order to press the watch against the side of the wrist (CH-A-204'916, CH-A-205'244, CH-A- 500'529, FR-A-2'449'915, DE-MU-7'410'210). Unless the bracelet strongly encloses the wrist, which would be troublesome, the position of these cases around the wrist is not stable. In addition, this solution results in a considerable increase in thickness, in particular if it is desired to use a movement with dimensions related to those of the case. Furthermore, only present the bracelet on the upper face of the wrist, the most exposed to the view of third parties, is not suitable for people proud to exhibit their watch. Finally, the position of an analog display watch on the side of the wrist is not ideal for reading the time without rotating the wrist. The most favorable position for this purpose is an intermediate position between the side and the upper face of the wrist.
Il existe, il est vrai, des boîtiers de ce genre qui évitent un surcroît d'épaisseur. Il faut toutefois y loger des mouvements dont les mobiles sont disposés sur plusieurs plans, de façon à épouser la cambrure du boîtier (CH-A-60'360, CH-A-66'766). L'inconvénient de mouvements aussi éloignés des standards actuels est évident.There are, it is true, cases of this kind which avoid an increase in thickness. However, movements must be accommodated there, the mobiles of which are arranged on several planes, so as to match the camber of the case (CH-A-60'360, CH-A-66'766). The disadvantage of movements so far from current standards is obvious.
On connaît aussi des boîtiers qui, tout en faisant apparaître les organes indicateurs de l'heure dans la position la plus favorable pour permettre une lecture dans une position de l'avant-bras uniquement coudé, stabilisent, en outre, la position de la montre autour du poignet par le fait qu'ils s'étendent non seulement sur le côté du poignet, mais aussi sur la majeure partie de sa face supérieure (CH-B-5261144).There are also known cases which, while making the time indicator bodies appear in the most favorable position to allow reading in a position of the forearm only bent, stabilize, in addition, the position of the watch around the wrist by the fact that they extend not only on the side of the wrist, but also on most of its upper face (CH-B-526 1 144).
Comme la face supérieure de ces boîtiers est cylindrique circulaire, ils ont derechef l'inconvénient d'être nettement plus épais que les boîtiers conventionnels. En outre, bien que les organes indicateurs du mouvement logé dans ces boîtiers soient entraînés par des axes centraux du mouvement, comme dans les montres à affichage analogique, l'affichage est digital. D'autre part, comme l'écartement de ces organes indicateurs est nettement plus important que celui des aiguilles usuelles des montres à affichage analogique, la longueur des axes portant ces organes indicateurs s'éloigne des standards. Enfin, la présence d'indicateurs des quantièmes et des jours de la semaine entraînés à partir d'axes centraux implique dans l'agencement du mouvement des écarts des standards encore bien plus importants.As the upper face of these boxes is circular cylindrical, they again have the disadvantage of being significantly thicker than conventional boxes. In addition, although the movement indicating members housed in these cases are driven by central axes of movement, as in watches with analog display, the display is digital. On the other hand, as the spacing of these indicator members is significantly greater than that of the usual needles of watches with analog display, the length of the axes carrying these indicator members deviates from the standards. Finally, the presence of date and week indicators driven from central axes implies in the arrangement of the movement deviations from the standards which are even much greater.
La présente invention vise à créer un boîtier dont l'épaisseur n'excède pas celle des boîtiers conventionnels des montres-bracelets, dans lequel un mouvement standard avec cadran et aiguilles conventionnels puisse être monté de la façon usuelle et qui présente ces organes. indicateurs dans la position autour du poignet la plus favorable pour permettre la lecture de l'heure en coudant simplement l'avant-bras, cette position étant parfaitement stabilisée, même si le bracelet entoure librement le poignet, sans exercer de pression gênante sur ce dernier.The present invention aims to create a case the thickness of which does not exceed that of conventional cases of wristwatches, in which a standard movement with dial and conventional hands can be mounted in the usual way and which has these members. indicators in the most favorable position around the wrist to allow the time to be read by simply bending the forearm, this position being perfectly stabilized, even if the bracelet surrounds free the wrist, without exerting annoying pressure on the latter.
Le boîtier défini par la revendication 1 remplit ces conditions. Il n'a manifestement pas partout la même cambrure. S'il est très incurvé dans la section qui va être plaquée contre le côté du poignet, celle destinée à s'étendre sur la face supérieure de celui-ci est, en revanche, pratiquement plate. Cela permet de choisir l'emplacement du logement destiné à recevoir le mouvement de la montre là où il est encore possible de monter un mouvement standard sans entraîner un surcroît disgracieux de l'épaisseur du boîtier et où le cadran de la montre - bras coudé - soit néanmoins dans le champ visuel de son porteur, sans nécessiter, en outre, une rotation du poignet. De plus, toute rotation de ce boîtier autour du poignet est exclue, en raison de sa forme. Enfin, comme ce boî- ' tier s'étend sur la majeure partie de la face du poignet exposée à la vue des tiers, il peut être décoré de façon aussi originale qu'attrayante à cet endroit.The housing defined by claim 1 fulfills these conditions. It obviously does not have the same camber everywhere. If it is very curved in the section which will be pressed against the side of the wrist, that intended to extend on the upper face of the latter is, on the other hand, practically flat. This makes it possible to choose the location of the housing intended to receive the movement of the watch where it is still possible to mount a standard movement without causing an unsightly increase in the thickness of the case and where the dial of the watch - bent arm - is nevertheless in the visual field of its wearer, without requiring, moreover, a rotation of the wrist. In addition, any rotation of this case around the wrist is excluded, due to its shape. Finally, as this case extends over the major part of the face of the wrist exposed to the view of third parties, it can be decorated as original as it is attractive in this location.
Une forme d'exécution du boîtier selon l'invention et quelques variantes sont décrites ci-après à simple titre d'exemple et en référence au dessin.An embodiment of the housing according to the invention and some variants are described below by way of example and with reference to the drawing.
La Fig. 1 est une vue en perspective de cette forme d'exécution.Fig. 1 is a perspective view of this embodiment.
La Fig. 2 est une vue en coupe d'une variante.Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a variant.
Le boîtier 1 (Fig. 1) comprend trois sections: une section la, très incurvée cylindriquement, qui est destinée à s'appliquer contre le côté du poignet; une section lb pratiquement plate, qui est destinée à s'étendre sur la majeure partie de la face supérieure du poignet, et une section lc qui raccorde les deux autres sections l'une à l'autre. Ces trois sections forment naturellement un seul corps rigide.The case 1 (FIG. 1) comprises three sections: a section la, very cylindrical curved, which is intended to be applied against the side of the wrist; a substantially
Un logement 2 (Fig. 2) est aménagé dans la section lc du boîtier 1. Ce logement 2 est destiné à recevoir un mouvement standard 3 de montre. Le cadran 4 se trouve ainsi dans une position oblique par rapport à la section lb du boîtier. Lorsque le bras est simplement coudé, le cadran 4 est dans le champ visuel du porteur de la montre, sans que celui-ci doive, en plus, tourner le poignet. Un automobiliste voit par conséquent l'heure indiquée par les aiguilles 5 sans lâcher son volant. Il en va de même pour l'ouvrier qui tient dans la main gauche un outil ou une pièce sur laquelle il travaille de la main droite.A housing 2 (Fig. 2) is arranged in the section lc of the housing 1. This
Au droit du logement 2, dans la section lc, la face externe 6 du boîtier est quasiment plate. Ainsi, la partie du boîtier 1 formant le fond du logement 2 a pratiquement la même épaisseur que le fond des boîtiers usuels, destinés à être portés sur la face supérieure du poignet. A l'emplacement décrit du mouvement 3, le boîtier 1 n'a donc pas besoin d'être fait plus épais que ceux portés sur le poignet. Dans ce cas, le mouvement de la montre est emboîté depuis le côté cadran de façon conventionnelle. Au lieu que le fond du logement 2 soit constitué par un opercule venu de fabrication en une pièce avec le corps la, lb, lc du boîtier 1, il pourrait naturellement aussi en être indépendant et être fixé à ce corps par des vis. Cela permettrait d'emboîter le mouvement depuis le côté fond du boîtier.Right of the
Les sections la et lb du boîtier 1 peuvent être creuses et recevoir par exemple des éléments ou des dispositifs associés au mouvement 3, tels qu'une ou plusieurs piles, des générateurs de sons, des commandes de fonctions accessoires du mouvement 3.The
La variante représentée à la Fig. 2, se distingue de la forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus uniquement par un second logement 7 aménagé dans la section lb du boîtier 1 et débouchant dans sa face supérieure. Ce logement 7 peut être garni d'un dispositif étranger à l'indication de l'heure, tel que calculatrice, baromètre, thermomètre, boussole ou récepteur. Ce second logement pourrait aussi être agencé de façon à pouvoir être obturé par une plaquette personnalisant la montre, par exemple en portant le signe zodiacal, les initiales, les armoiries de son porteur ou tout autre motif décoratif, au choix de ce dernier.The variant shown in FIG. 2, differs from the embodiment described above only by a
A ses deux extrémités, le boîtier 1 est pourvu de façon connue d'organes permettant de lui accrocher un bracelet conventionnel. Comme dans le cas des montres portées sur la face supérieure du poignet, ce bracelet comprendra deux brins 8, 9 et un fermoir 10. Afin que ce dernier prenne place, comme d'habitude, sous le poignet, les deux brins 8, 9 auront des longueurs différentes.At its two ends, the case 1 is provided in a known manner with members allowing it to hang a conventional bracelet. As in the case of watches worn on the upper face of the wrist, this bracelet will include two
