Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch case having a clasp incorporated for a bracelet. It relates more particularly to a box of this type, the latter being delimited by a lateral face and two opposite main faces, in which an opening also joins the main faces.
  • Watch cases provided with a bracelet clasp are known per se.
  • the principle of a watch having a central opening joining the main faces of the box is also known from patent application GB-A-2162663. This opening, which gives the watch an original appearance, however, has only an aesthetic function in the examples described by this document.
  • the invention aims to provide a watch case, comprising an opening joining its main faces and a clasp for a bracelet, in which the clasp cooperates with the opening.
  • the watch case according to the invention delimited by two main faces arranged opposite one another, and by a lateral face joining the main faces, one of the main faces constituting the bottom of the box and the other the upper side revealing the time information, comprising a central opening passing through the box from side to side by joining the main faces, a housing for a clock movement, and a fastening device for fixing to the box.
  • one end of a bracelet is particularly remarkable in that it further comprises a clasp for the bracelet comprising a body at least part of which is disposed opposite the central opening, on the bottom side of the case, a locking device making it possible to make the body of the box clasp integral, or to release it, and a fastening device arranged on the clasp to fix the other end of the bracel to the body and.
  • the reference 1 designates in FIG. 1 a watch box, known per se, having a central opening 2.
  • the box is delimited by an upper main face 3, through which the time information can be read, and a lower face constituting the bottom of the box, the latter face not appearing in fig. 1.
  • the main faces are substantially planar and parallel to each other, and they are joined by a lateral external face 4 delimiting in the box a rim of circular shape.
  • the watch case 1 includes hour markers 6 and, opposite the six-hour marker, a projecting part 7 to the interior of which is a part of a housing, not shown, intended to receive an analog clockwork movement. To the protruding part 7 is also fixed in a conventional manner, by means of a bar, the end of a bracelet 8.
  • the display of the time in a watch using this type of box can be obtained, for example, by means of two concentric circular discs 9 and 10.
  • the discs driven by the clockwork movement, pivot around the opening central 2 opposite the upper main face 3, behind a window, and they respectively carry an hour index 11 and a minute index 12.
  • the time is set in a known manner by means of a crown 13 arranged on the edge of the protruding part 7.
  • a clasp 20 which is shown in the open position in FIG. 1.
  • the clasp is essentially formed by a body 21, the latter comprising a plate 22 and a cylindrical container 23.
  • the plate 22 When the clasp 20 is in the closed position, the plate 22 is in contact with the lower main face, or bottom, of the watch case 1.
  • the plate 22, which completely covers the bottom of the case, has a notch 24 in which takes up part of the housing containing the clockwork movement.
  • the side face 4 of the box covers, under these conditions, entirely the edge of the plate 22, except at the place, that is at twelve o'clock, where the bracelet 8 joins the clasp.
  • the container 23, for its part is fixed on the face of the plate 22 which comes into contact with the bottom of the watch case so as to take place, at least partially, inside the central opening 2 thereof. this.
  • a support 26, integral with the plate 22, guides the bracelet 8 to the place where it leaves the clasp 20.
  • Maintaining the body 21 of the clasp 20 on the watch case 1 is obtained by means of a lug 25 of the plate 22 which penetrates into a notch visible in the case, and of a locking device shown in a view of below in fig. 2.
  • This device which is housed in a hollow in the rim delimited by the lateral face 4 of the box, has a symmetrical structure with respect to an axis xx 'corresponding to the axis 6-12 hours.
  • a button 30, accessible from outside the box and movable along the axis xx ', is placed in abutment against the ends of two levers 31 and 32, symmetrical to one another and able to pivot respectively around the axes 33 and 34, parallel to the main faces of the box.
  • the other ends of the levers 31 and 32 respectively have projecting parts 35 and 36 directed towards the inside of the box.
  • a spring 37 acts on the levers so as to place them in a position which brings the protrusions 35 and 36 closer to the center of the box.
  • the button 30 is surrounded by a collar 38.
  • the plate 22 has two cavities, referenced 39 and 40, into which the protruding parts 35 and 36 penetrate respectively when the plate 22 of the clasp is applied against the bottom of the box 1.
  • the purpose of the container 23, which can play both a functional and an aesthetic role, is to personalize a watch case to which the presence of the opening 2 already gives an original appearance.
  • the container 23 contains an analog clockwork movement making it possible to display, by for example, a second time zone.
  • the time setting of the movement is done in a known manner from its rear face.
  • the container 23 could of course contain any other object, for example a compass, or include a cover and serve as a medicine box, or even contain a decorative part, the part and the container being able in the latter case to form a single element .
  • the container 23, in a preferred embodiment of the box, is detachably held in an opening 41 of the plate 22 by means of a fixing device shown in FIG. 3.
  • This device the operation of which is similar to the locking device described above, is controlled by two buttons 50 and 51, the first coming to bear against the ends of two pivoting levers 52 and 53, and the second against two other similar levers .
  • the other ends of the levers 52 and 53 have projecting parts, respectively 54 and 55, which take their place, by means of a spring 56 acting on these levers, in corresponding cavities of the container 23 to hold it, with the other two levers, in the desired position on the plate 22.
  • To extract the container 23 from its housing simply press the buttons 50 and 51 simultaneously.
  • the container 23 thus constitutes a removable accessory from the clasp, which can be supplied in various forms with the box and that the user of the watch has the possibility of easily exchanging himself.
  • the part of the body 21 of the clasp located opposite the opening 2 is constituted, in the examples given, by a container 23 can contain different objects, or by a massive decorative piece.
  • This part of the body 21 thus penetrates, at least partially, inside the volume circumscribed by the opening 2, a volume which is delimited more precisely by the upper main 3 and lower, or bottom, faces of the box 1, and by the inner cylindrical face 5.
  • This condition is however not essential.
  • the part of the body 21 disposed opposite the opening 2 may very well be set back from this opening, or be tangent to it. If this part is for example flat, extending the face of the plate 22, it could include a design, or information such as the name of the wearer of the watch, which would then be visible through the opening 2.
  • the box could have a shape other than round, for example oval or rectangular, as well as the opening 2, especially if the time is given by means of an electronic, digital or analog display having no moving parts.
  • the opening 2 could also be offset relative to the outside contour of the box, and the clasp locking device act on the container 23 rather than on the plate 22.
