Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wristwatch, particularly to a wristwatch having a hologram, or any other image support, at its face substituting, or overlapping, the protective glass.
- Holography is a particular image recording technique which provides tridimensional pictures called holograms.
- Holograms are nowadays commonly available on the market as ornamental objects for numerous different uses.
- a main object of the invention is to provide a wristwatch having a hologram at its face substituting, or overlapping, its protective glass in such a way as to be easily interchangeable without the need of tools or any particular skill by the user.
- a scope of the invention is to provide a wristwatch adapted to receive holograms of different sizes as commonly available on the market.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a wristwatch having a very simple and sturdy structure.
- a wristwatch comprising: a case having a face, a strap connected to said case by means of a holder, characterized in that it comprises means for releasably fastening a hologram at said face, said hologram being interchangeable.
- the wristwatch according to the invention comprises a case 2 having a face 3 on which the time is displayed in a conventional manner.
- the case 2 may be provided with a conventional protective glass at its face 3 and with a winder 4.
- a holder 5 is made in one piece with a strap 6 and of an elastic material such as, for example, plastics or rubber.
- the holder 5 is ring-shaped and flanged so as to engage the case 2 by virtue of its elastic deformation and to fasten a hologram 7 between its flange 8 and the case face 3.
- the case 2 is also provided with dents 9 adapted to be engaged by axial projections 10 provided on the inner side of the holder 5 in order to prevent any rotation between the case and the holder.
- the use of the wristwatch is very simple: with the wristwatch assembled as shown in fig. 2, it is sufficient to press on the hologram 7 while holding the case 2 to disengage the case from the holder by elastic deformation of the latter.
- the holder 5 can be easily repositioned on the case 2 by snap action.
- Figure 4 shows a wristwatch 101 according to a variated aspect of the invention in which the means for releasably fastening the hologram 107 comprises a screw cap 105 adapted to be screwed on the case 102 blocking the hologram 107 therebetween by means of a flange 108.
- Figure 5 shows a further wristwatch 201 in which the means for fastening the hologram 207 comprises a bayonet mount ring 205 having a flange 208 for blocking the hologram.
- Figure 6 shows a wristwatch 301 according to still another variated aspect of the invention comprising an annular groove 309 formed at the case 302 and a cap 305 releasably forced fitted on the case 302 by means of an elastic ring 310 positioned at the annular groove.
- an annular groove 309a can be provided also at the inner side of the cap 305a facing the case 302a.
- a wristwatch 401 according to a variated further aspect of the invention is illustrated in which the case 402 has an annular groove 409 formed on its side; the side has a plurality of axial dents 411 adapted to be engaged by corresponding projections 408 formed on a cap 405.
- Each of said projections 408 are provided with a groove matching the groove 409 provided at the case 402; an elastic ring 410 is also provided to engage said case and said cap projections at the grooves so as to releasably fasten the cap which holds the hologram 407.
- FIG 9 illustrates another wristwatch 501, according to a variated aspect of the invention, and which comprises a ring 505, having a U-shaped section and adapted to engage the top edge of the case 502 at its face 503.
- the ring 505 comprises a plurality of pins 509 adapted to engage in corresponding bores provided on the side of the case.
- the ring 505 can be snap fitted on the case interposing the hologram 507.
- Gaskets 510,511 are advantageously provided between the ring 505 and the case 502, and between the ring and the hologram to seal the wristwatch.
- Shock absorber 512 and spacer rings 513,514 are also advantageously provided for enhancing the mechanical resistance of the wristwatch.
- the invention achieves the intended object by providing a wristwatch having an easily interchangeable hologram.
- An advantage of the invention is that holograms of different sizes can be mounted and always without the need of any tool.
