Abstract

A free space (12) limited on the outside by the ring (13) and on the inside by the ring (14) which surrounds the hands is disposed between the face plate (10), which is transparent, and the plate covering the movement (11), which is opaque. Movable elements (15) provided with marks which are visible through the plate (10) are displaced according to the movements of the watch between the two plates (10) and (11). One of them may penetrate into a receptacle provided on the periphery of the space (12).

Description

Il est déjà connu notamment par le brevet suisse CH-609 517 de prévoir d'associer à une montre un espace libre en forme de conduit visible et limité par des parois transparentes, dans lequel peuvent se déplacer des éléments décoratifs. Cette fonction supplémentaire purement décorative qui est associée à la montre a en général pour conséquence de nécessiter une disposition qui augmente les dimensions de la montre en plan.It is already known in particular from the Swiss patent CH-609 517 to provide for associating with a watch a free space in the form of a visible conduit and limited by transparent walls, in which decorative elements can move. This additional purely decorative function which is associated with the watch generally has the consequence of requiring an arrangement which increases the dimensions of the watch in plan.

La présente invention résulte de l'idée d'associer à une montre un dispositif annexe permettant de jouer.The present invention results from the idea of associating a watch with an additional device enabling play.

Dans ce but, l'objet de la présente invention est une montre associée à un dispositif annexe ayant une fonction différente de celle de la mesure du temps, cette montre comportant un espace libre au moins partiellement visible défini par des surfaces de limitation et contenant un ou plusieurs éléments mobiles, caractérisée en ce que les dites surfaces de limitation délimitent au moins un réceptacle conformé et dimensionné pour recevoir et maintenir le ou un des dits éléments mobiles.For this purpose, the object of the present invention is a watch associated with an annex device having a function different from that of time measurement, this watch comprising an at least partially visible free space defined by limiting surfaces and containing a or several mobile elements, characterized in that said limiting surfaces delimit at least one receptacle shaped and dimensioned to receive and maintain the or one of said mobile elements.

Comme on le verra ci-après, cette réalisation permet notamment d'utiliser la montre pour effectuer des jeux de hasard tels que lotteries à numéros, jeux de dés, roulettes, etc.As will be seen below, this embodiment makes it possible in particular to use the watch to perform games of chance such as lotteries with numbers, dice games, rollers, etc.

Le dessin annexé représente à titre d'exemple deux formes d'exécution possibles de l'objet de l'invention.

  • La fig. 1 est une vue en coupe axiale d'une montre équipée d'un dispositif annexe permettant des jeux de hasard,
  • La fig. 2 est une vue en plan de dessus d'une forme d'exécution de la montre représentée à la fig. 1 et
  • la fig. 3 une vue également en plan de dessus d'une autre forme d'exécution.
The accompanying drawing shows by way of example two possible embodiments of the subject of the invention.
  • Fig. 1 is an axial section view of a watch equipped with an annex device allowing games of chance,
  • Fig. 2 is a top plan view of an embodiment of the watch shown in FIG. 1 and
  • fig. 3 also a top plan view of another embodiment.

Pour réaliser la montre selon l'invention, on part d'une montre usuelle, qui peut être par exemple une montre-bracelet, et on incorpore le dispositif annexe au boîtier de cette montre.To make the watch according to the invention, one starts with a usual watch, which can for example be a wristwatch, and incorporates the device annexed to the case of this watch.

Comme on le voit à la fig. 1, la montre comporte un mouvement 1, qui est logé dans un boîtier constitué d'un fond 2, d'une carrure 3 et d'un verre 4. On voit également à la fig. 1 la couronne de remontoir 5 qui traverse la paroi de la carrure et pénètre à l'intérieur du mouvement 1. Dans la forme d'exécution décrite, l'affichage de la montre est réalisé au moyen d'une paire d'aiguilles 6 et 7 qui sont entraînées par des arbres 8 et 9, disposés coaxialement au centre du mouvement et s'étendant en hauteur depuis la face supérieure de ce dernier élément de la montre.As seen in fig. 1, the watch comprises a movement 1, which is housed in a case consisting of a base 2, a middle part 3 and a glass 4. We also see in FIG. 1 the winding crown 5 which crosses the wall of the middle part and penetrates inside the movement 1. In the embodiment described, the watch is displayed by means of a pair of hands 6 and 7 which are driven by shafts 8 and 9, arranged coaxially in the center of the movement and extending in height from the upper face of this last element of the watch.

Comme dans une montre usuelle, la montre représentée à la fig. 1 comporte un organe ayant la fonction du cadran. Cet organe est constitué d'une plaque transparente supérieure 10 et d'une plaque opaque inférieure 11. Comme on le voit à la fig. 1, l'aiguillage prolongé traverse des ouvertures centrales de ces deux plaques entre lesquelles est disposé un espace libre 12 qui est limité latéralement par une bague opaque 13 en contact avec la carrure 3. Une seconde bague 14, disposée au centre de l'organe de cadran, entoure l'arbre extérieur 9 portant l'aiguille des heures 7. Ainsi, les éléments 13, 14, 10, 11 limitent un espace annulaire 12 dans lequel sont enfermés un certain nombre d'éléments mobiles 15. Il s'agit d'éléments présentant deux faces planes opposées, qui peuvent être par exemple en matière plastique ou en métal, et qui sont conçus de façon à pouvoir glisser entre les plaques 10 et 11 lorsque l'on déplace la montre. Bien entendu, les éléments mobiles 15 pourraient également être en verre, en céramique ou en toute autre matière solide appropriée. Ils peuvent être colorés et, comme on le verra, leur face visible qui apparaît dans la forme d'exécution de la fig. 1 à travers la plaque supérieure 10 du cadran peut porter des marques, comme par exemple des chiffres, ou d'autres indications.As in a conventional watch, the watch shown in fig. 1 comprises a member having the function of the dial. This member consists of an upper transparent plate 10 and a lower opaque plate 11. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the extended switch passes through the central openings of these two plates between which there is a free space 12 which is laterally limited by an opaque ring 13 in contact with the middle part 3. A second ring 14, placed in the center of the member dial, surrounds the outer shaft 9 carrying the hour hand 7. Thus, the elements 13, 14, 10, 11 limit an annular space 12 in which are enclosed a number of movable elements 15. These are elements having two opposite flat faces, which can be for example of plastic or metal, and which are designed so as to be able to slide between the plates 10 and 11 when you move the watch. Of course, the movable elements 15 could also be made of glass, ceramic or any other suitable solid material. They can be colored and, as will be seen, their visible face which appears in the embodiment of FIG. 1 through the upper plate 10 of the dial may bear marks, such as for example numbers, or other indications.

La fig. 2 montre l'aspect de la face visible de la montre dans une forme d'exécution correspondant à la fig. 1. On reconnaît la carrure 3, les aiguilles 6 et 7 visibles sous le verre 4. L'espace libre 12 est limité par la bague intérieure 14 et par la bague extérieure 13 qui n'est pas visible à la fig. 2 puisqu'elle est masquée sous le rebord interne de la carrure 3. Les signaux horaires 16 peuvent être marqués sur la plaque transparente 10 du cadran ou, le cas échéant, sur la plaque inférieure 11 puisque la plaque 10 est transparente. On voit à la fig. 2 les éléments 15 qui sont constitués par de petits disques circulaires portant chacun un chiffre différent. On voit d'autre part que la bague extérieure 13 présente, sur l'emplacement de six heures, un élargissement triangulaire 17 qui est visible et qui présente à sa pointe une échancrure 18 en demi-cercle d'un rayon adapté à celui des éléments 15. On conçoit donc que si l'on agite la montre, les différents éléments 15 peuvent se déplacer librement dans l'espace 12 et que, lors d'un mouvement comprenant par exemple un renversement de la montre de façon à amener l'emplacement de six heures vers le bas, un des éléments 15 pris au hasard va pénétrer dans l'échancrure 18. Cette disposition permet de tirer au hasard un numéro parmi ceux qui figurent sur les éléments 15 et de jouer ainsi à divers jeux, lotto, lotterie, roulette ou autres. On comprend également que la plaque 10 ne doit pas nécessairement être transparente sur toute sa surface mais qu'il suffit que l'élément situé au-dessus de l'excroissance 17 soit transparent.Fig. 2 shows the appearance of the visible face of the watch in an embodiment corresponding to FIG. 1. We recognize the middle part 3, the hands 6 and 7 visible under the glass 4. The free space 12 is limited by the inner ring 14 and by the outer ring 13 which is not visible in FIG. 2 since it is hidden under the internal rim of the middle part 3. The time signals 16 can be marked on the transparent plate 10 of the dial or, if necessary, on the lower plate 11 since the plate 10 is transparent. We see in fig. 2 the elements 15 which are constituted by small circular discs each carrying a different number. We see on the other hand that the outer ring 13 has, on the six o'clock location, a triangular enlargement 17 which is visible and which has at its tip a notch 18 in a semicircle of a radius adapted to that of the elements 15. It is therefore understandable that if the watch is shaken, the different elements 15 can move freely in the space 12 and that, during a movement comprising for example a reversal of the watch so as to bring the location six hours down, one of the elements 15 taken at random will enter the notch 18. This arrangement allows a number to be drawn at random from those appearing on the elements 15 and thus play various games, lotto, lottery, roulette or others. It is also understood that the plate 10 does not necessarily have to be transparent over its entire surface but that it is sufficient for the element situated above the protrusion 17 to be transparent.

A la fig. 3, on voit une autre forme d'exécution différent de celle de la fig. 2 uniquement par le nombre et la forme des éléments 15 ainsi que par la forme de l'échancrure 18. Les éléments 15 sont ici de forme carrée à coins arrondis. On a prévu six éléments 15 portant sur leur surface visible des points analogues à ceux des dés utilisés dans les jeux de hasard. La forme de l'échancrure 18 est trapézoïdale, ses dimensions étant adaptées à celles des éléments 15 de façon que lorsque l'on déplace ces éléments dans l'espace libre 12, l'un deux vienne se loger dans l'échancrure 18.In fig. 3, we see another form of execution different from that of FIG. 2 only by the number and the shape of the elements 15 as well as by the shape of the notch 18. The elements 15 are here of square shape with rounded corners. Six elements 15 have been provided bearing on their visible surface points similar to those of the dice used in games of chance. The shape of the notch 18 is trapezoidal, its dimensions being adapted to those of the elements 15 so that when these elements are moved in the free space 12, one of them comes to be housed in the notch 18.

On pourrait toutefois prévoir plusieurs réceptacles 17 répartis sur le pourtour de la montre ou un ou plusieurs réceptacles disposés au centre, sur la bague 14. On pourrait également disposer dans l'espace 12 une ou plusieurs chicanes fixes modifiant le déplacement des éléments mobiles 15 dans l'espace 12.One could however provide several receptacles 17 distributed around the periphery of the watch or one or more receptacles arranged in the center, on the ring 14. One could also have in space 12 one or more fixed baffles modifying the displacement of the mobile elements 15 in space 12.

D'autres dispositions sont encore possibles. Par exemple, l'espace libre 12 pourrait être ménagé entre le verre 4 et un verre intérieur placé au-dessus des aiguilles. Dans ce cas, il ne serait pas nécessaire de prévoir un mouvement avec une hauteur d'aiguillage anormale. Mais l'espace libre 12 pourrait également être prévu dans le fond en réalisant cet organe avec deux plaques superposées dont une, celle qui est visible, serait totalement ou partiellement transparente. Dans ce cas, l'espace libre pour le déplacement des éléments mobiles 15 pourrait occuper toute la surface de la montre, le centre étant dégagé. Bien entendu, on peut même combiner ces différentes formes d'exécution en prévoyant une montre qui comporte deux espaces libres contenant chacun un ou plusieurs éléments mobiles et un ou plusieurs réceptacles. On conçoit que les utilisations possibles de ce dispositif annexe dans un but de jeu sont très variées et permettent d'adjoindre à la montre une fonction annexe particulièrement attrayante basée sur le fait que le jeu implique un déplacement de la montre et que c'est une caractéristique essentielle des montres en général d'être éminemment mobiles.Other arrangements are also possible. For example, the free space 12 could be provided between the glass 4 and an interior glass placed above the needles. In this case, it would not be necessary to plan a movement with a switch height abnormal. But the free space 12 could also be provided at the bottom by making this member with two superimposed plates, one of which, the one which is visible, would be totally or partially transparent. In this case, the free space for the movement of the mobile elements 15 could occupy the entire surface of the watch, the center being clear. Of course, one can even combine these different embodiments by providing a watch which has two free spaces each containing one or more mobile elements and one or more receptacles. It is understood that the possible uses of this annex device for the purpose of a game are very varied and make it possible to add to the watch a particularly attractive annex function based on the fact that the game involves moving the watch and that it is a essential characteristic of watches in general to be eminently mobile.

Dans la construction représentée à la fig. 1 les pièces 10, 11, 13, 14 qui délimitent l'espace 12 sont fixes, mais on pourrait également les arranger de façon que certaines d'entre elles soient susceptibles de tourner autour de l'axe de la montre. Ainsi par exemple la bague 13, avec le réceptacle 17, 18 pourrait être mobile en rotation. Elle pourrait par exemple être fixée au disque 11 qui, lui, pivoterait au centre du mouvement, par exemple sur une saillie circulaire de la platine. De même l'homme du métier pourra imaginer encore d'autres variantes permettant d'introduire un élément aléatoire supplémentaire dans la capture d'un élément 15 par l'échancrure 18.In the construction shown in fig. 1 the parts 10, 11, 13, 14 which delimit the space 12 are fixed, but one could also arrange them so that some of them are capable of turning around the axis of the watch. Thus for example the ring 13, with the receptacle 17, 18 could be movable in rotation. It could for example be fixed to the disc 11 which, for its part, would pivot in the center of the movement, for example on a circular projection of the plate. Likewise, those skilled in the art can imagine still other variants making it possible to introduce an additional random element in the capture of an element 15 by the notch 18.
