Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une montre comprenant un boítier muni d'une lunette tournante dont une partie annulaire est dentée, une tige de remontoir présentant un tronçon de section polygonale situé à l'extérieur du mouvement de la montre, un pignon muni d'une ouverture de section complémentaire à celle dudit tronçon, engagé sur celui-ci, la denture du pignon étant en prise avec celle de ladite partie annulaire dentée, formant une liaison cinématique entre la lunette tournante et la tige de remontoir.The present invention relates to a watch comprising a case fitted with a rotating bezel, part of which annular is toothed, a winding stem having a polygonal section located outside the movement of the watch, a pinion provided with a section opening complementary to that of said section, engaged thereon, the toothing of the pinion being in engagement with that of said toothed annular part, forming a kinematic connection between the rotating bezel and the winding stem.
De telles montres ont déjà été décrites dans le CH 1825 et le CH 72852. Dans chacune des solutions proposées, la lunette tournante vient en prise avec une roue dentée associée à une bascule destinée à relier sélectivement la lunette tournante au mécanisme de remontage du ressort de barillet ou à l'engrenage de mise à l'heure.Such watches have already been described in CH 1825 and CH 72852. In each of the solutions proposed, the telescope rotating engages an associated gear to a rocker intended to selectively connect the telescope rotating to the barrel spring winding mechanism or the time setting gear.
Ces solutions nécessitent une transformation complète du mouvement de la montre, de sorte que seules des montres équipées de tels mouvements peuvent être remontées par la lunette tournante.These solutions require a complete transformation of the watch movement, so that only watches equipped with such movements can be reassembled by the rotating bezel.
On a proposé une autre solution dans le CH 662235 dans laquelle la lunette tournante est munie d'une denture qui vient en prise, d'une part, avec un pignon solidaire de la tige de remontoir, d'autre part, avec une roue d'un mécanisme de mise à l'heure monté sur une platine auxiliaire. Le but de cette solution est de permettre d'associer un mécanisme de remontage et de mise à l'heure par la lunette tournante sans transformer le mouvement, mais en lui ajoutant un module supplémentaire monté sur la platine auxiliaire.Another solution has been proposed in CH 662235 in which the rotating bezel has toothing which engages, on the one hand, with a pinion integral with the winding stem, on the other hand, with a mechanism wheel setting the time mounted on an auxiliary plate. The goal of this solution is to allow to associate a mechanism winding and setting the time by the rotating bezel without transforming the movement, but adding a additional module mounted on the auxiliary board.
Une telle montre présente cependant plusieurs inconvénients. Elle nécessite un mécanisme supplémentaire et la platine auxiliaire qui le porte augmente sensiblement la hauteur du mouvement. En outre, si l'on veut remonter la montre, en même temps, on entraíne la bascule de mise à l'heure qui, au bout d'un certain angle de rotation met en prise un renvoi porté par la bascule avec un pignon de mise à l'heure, de sorte que si l'on ne fait pas attention de ne pas dépasser cet angle de rotation de la lunette, on change l'heure, alors qu'on désire seulement remonter la montre.However, such a watch has several drawbacks. It requires an additional mechanism and the auxiliary plate which carries it appreciably increases the movement height. In addition, if we want to reassemble the shows, at the same time, we train the toggle the hour which, after a certain angle of rotation taken a reference carried by the rocker with a setting pinion on time, so if you're not careful not to not exceed this angle of rotation of the telescope, we change time, when you only want to wind the watch.
D'autres systèmes de remontage et de mise à l'heure par la lunette ont été décrits dans le CH-A-316 834, ainsi que dans le CH-A-65 378. Dans les deux cas, le pignon qui engrène avec la couronne dentée de la lunette tournante est totalement solidaire de la tige de remontoir en rotation et en translation. Dans le premier de ces deux documents, le déplacement de la tige de remontoir fait partiellement sortir la denture du pignon de la couronne dentée de la lunette, risquant ainsi d'endommager ces dentures. Le second de ces documents ne présente pas cet inconvénient, étant donné que la largeur de la couronne dentée a été augmentée en conséquence pour engrener avec le pignon de la tige de remontoir dans les deux positions axiales de celle-ci. Cette solution, destinée à une montre de bord de voiture, ne conviendrait pas à une montre bracelet, étant donné qu'elle augmenterait la largeur de la carrure, nuisant à l'esthétique de la boíte.Other winding and time setting systems by glasses have been described in CH-A-316 834, as well as in CH-A-65 378. In both cases, the pinion which meshes with the gear ring of the rotating bezel is completely secured to the winding stem in rotation and translation. In the first of these two documents, the displacement partially winding stem the toothing of the pinion of the gear crown of the bezel, risking damaging these teeth. The second of these documents does not have this drawback, since the width of the ring gear has been increased accordingly to mesh with the winding stem pinion in the two axial positions thereof. This solution, intended for a car dashboard watch, would not be suitable not a wristwatch, since it would increase the width of the middle, detracting from the aesthetics of the box.
Bien que le fait de ménager un tronçon de tige de remontoir de section carrée, permettant d'entraíner le pignon coulant dans toutes ses position axiales, de remontage et de mise à l'heure, est bien connu de tous les mécanismes de remontoirs depuis bientôt un siècle, il ne s'agit cependant pas dans ce cas, de maintenir ce pignon coulant fixe axialement. Au contraire, ce pignon coulant est déplacé axialement en sens inverse de la tige de remontoir, par l'intermédiaire de la tirette et de la bascule de mise à l'heure, pour le mettre en prise avec le renvoi de mise à l'heure.Although sparing a piece of winding stem square section, allowing to drive the pinion flowing in all its axial, winding and setting the time, is well known to all winding mechanisms for almost a century, however, not in this case, to keep this sliding pinion fixed axially. On the contrary, this sliding pinion is moved axially in the opposite direction of the winding stem, via the time setting lever and toggle, for the put in engagement with the time setting reference.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier, au moins en partie, aux inconvénients susmentionnés et de faire en sorte que le remontage de la montre qui était perçu jusqu'ici comme une opération négative, et qui a été supprimé dans les montre automatiques et électriques, devienne quelque chose de plaisant et d'amusant et qui, contrairement à une montre à remontage par la tige de remontoir, se remonte plus aisément en la gardant au poignet. Comme on le verra dans la description qui va suivre, outre la conception purement mécanique du dispositif de remontage, des dispositions ont été prises pour le protéger de la poussière et pour assurer une longue durée de vie de la lunette tournante et des joints de protection.The object of the present invention is to remedy, less in part to the aforementioned drawbacks and to do so that the winding of the watch that was perceived so far as a negative transaction, and that has been deleted in automatic and electric watches, becomes something something fun and fun that, unlike a watch wound by the winding stem, is wound more easily by keeping it on your wrist. As will be seen in the description which follows, in addition to the purely design mechanical winding device, provisions were taken to protect it from dust and to ensure long service life of the rotating bezel and protective seals.
A cet effet, cette invention a pour objet une montre du type susmentionné, caractérisée par le fait que ledit pignon est positionné axialement entre deux butées solidaires du boítier, ledit tronçon de section polygonale de la tige de remontoir présentant une longueur choisie pour permettre de déplacer axialement ladite tige de remontoir entre au moins deux positions, l'une de remontage et l'autre de mise à l'heure, tout en maintenant la liaison cinématique entre la lunette et la tige de remontoir par l'intermédiaire dudit pignon.To this end, the subject of this invention is a watch of the aforementioned type, characterized in that said pinion is positioned axially between two stops integral with the housing, said polygonal section of the rod winder with a chosen length to allow axially moving said winding stem between at least two positions, one for reassembly and the other for setting time, while maintaining the kinematic link between the bezel and winding stem via said pinion.
Selon d'autres particularités de cette invention, on mentionnera que, de préférence, le ressort normal d'une montre à remontage manuel est remplacé par un ressort à bride glissante tel que ceux utilisés dans les montres à remontage automatique. En effet, la lunette tournante permet d'exercer sur le ressort un couple sensiblement plus élevé que celui exercé par l'intermédiaire de la tige de remontoir. Par conséquent, il est extrêmement avantageux qu'une fois le ressort moteur complètement armé, il puisse glisser dans le barillet, de sorte que l'on peut continuer indéfiniment à tourner la lunette, bien que le ressort soit complètement armé, sans risque de détérioration du ressort.According to other features of this invention, will mention that, preferably, the normal spring of a watch with manual winding is replaced by a flange spring slippery like those used in winding watches automatic. Indeed, the rotating bezel allows to exercise on the spring a torque significantly higher than that exerted through the winding stem. Through Therefore, it is extremely advantageous that once the fully armed motor spring, it can slide into the barrel, so that we can continue indefinitely to turn the telescope, although the spring is completely armed, without risk of damage to the spring.
Puisque dans ce cas, le remontage est sans fin, l'utilisateur ne sait pas si le ressort est ou non armé. Il peut donc être avantageux d'ajouter un indicateur du degré d'armage du ressort moteur, qui est un dispositif connu en soi. Since in this case the reassembly is endless, the user does not know whether the spring is armed or not. he can therefore be advantageous to add an indicator of the degree of arming of the mainspring, which is a device known per se.
La montre selon l'invention ne nécessite aucune modification en ce qui concerne le mouvement proprement dit, la seule modification nécessaire est celle de la tige de remontoir. Il est donc possible, grâce à la présente invention, d'adapter le système de remontage à n'importe quelle montre en changeant seulement la tige de remontoir.The watch according to the invention does not require any modification with regard to the movement proper, the the only modification necessary is that of the winding stem. It is therefore possible, thanks to the present invention, to adapt the winding system to any shows only by changing the winding stem.
Le dessin annexé illustre, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de la montre objet de la présente invention.The attached drawing illustrates, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment of the watch object of the present invention.
La figure 1 est une vue partielle en coupe axiale de cette montre.Figure 1 is a partial view in axial section of this watch.
La figure 2 est une vue agrandie d'un détail de la figure 1.Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a detail of the figure 1.
La montre illustrée par cette figure comporte un
mouvement 1 recouvert d'un cadran indicateur 2, logé dans un
boítier comprenant une carrure 3, un fond 4 et une glace 5.The watch illustrated by this figure includes a
movement 1 covered with an
La partie supérieure de la carrure 3 présente un
évidement annulaire 6 dans le fond duquel est ménagée une
rainure annulaire 7. Une lunette tournante 8 est disposée
dans l'évidement annulaire 6 et est retenue axialement par
des chevilles 9a ménagées dans le prolongement de l'extrémité
de vis 9, traversant radialement la lunette tournante
8 et réparties angulairement autour d'elle. Ces chevilles
9a sont engagées dans une rainure annulaire 10 de la face
latérale de l'évidement annulaire 6. Une rainure annulaire
11 parallèle à la rainure annulaire 10 sert à recevoir un
joint 0-ring 12. Un second joint 13 est logé dans une rainure
annulaire 23, ménagée dans la face inférieure de la lunette
tournante 8. Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, de
préférence, ce joint 13 a une section semi-circulaire, sa
face plane étant collée dans le fond de la rainure 23. La
forme du joint 13 et le collage de celui-ci permettent
d'augmenter sa durée de vie et facilitent la rotation de la
lunette tournante 8 dans les deux sens. Le joint 12, quant à
lui, est de préférence un joint O-ring. The upper part of the
La face inférieure de cette lunette tournante 8 présente
encore une partie annulaire saillante 8a à l'extrémité
de laquelle une denture de chant 8b est ménagée, cette partie
annulaire 8a étant logée dans la rainure annulaire 7.The underside of this rotating
Cette rainure 7 communique avec un logement cylindrique
14, dont l'axe de révolution coïncide avec l'axe de la tige
de remontoir 15. Cette tige de remontoir 15 comporte un
tronçon de section carrée 15a qui traverse une ouverture de
même section, centrée sur l'axe d'un pignon 16 engrenant
avec la denture 8b. Un organe de fermeture 17, porteur d'un
tube 18 muni d'un joint 0-ring 19 destiné à coopérer avec
une couronne de remontoir 20 est emboíté dans le logement
cylindrique 14 par deux vis (non représentées), fixées dans
la carrure 3 de part et d'autre de la tige de remontoir 15.
De ce fait, le pignon 16 est fixé axialement entre deux butées
constituées par le fond du logement cylindrique 14
d'une part, et la face interne de l'organe de fermeture 17.
La face latérale de ce dernier présente une rainure 17a dans
laquelle est logé un joint 0-ring 24. Des entretoises, 21,
22, par exemple en nylon, peuvent être disposées de part et
d'autre de ce pignon 16 pour éviter son grippage. Grâce à
cette disposition, le tronçon de section carrée 15a de la
tige de remontoir 15 peut coulisser librement à travers
l'ouverture du pignon 16 et celui-ci reste en prise avec la
denture 8b de la lunette tournante. De ce fait, la tige de
remontoir 15 peut occuper différentes positions, deux ou
trois pour le remontage, la mise à l'heure, voire la mise à
la date, comme une tige de remontoir normale, la liaison
cinématique restant constamment établie entre la lunette
tournante 8 et la tige de remontoir 15, par l'intermédiaire
du pignon 16 solidaire en rotation de cette tige 15 grâce au
tronçon 15a de section carrée.This
On constate donc bien qu'aucune modification ni adjonction
n'est nécessaire en ce qui concerne le mécanisme d'horlogerie
proprement dit. Les modifications interviennent seulement
au niveau du boítier et de la partie de la tige de
remontoir extérieure au mouvement. Avantageusement et afin
de permettre de tourner indéfiniment la lunette tournante 8,
ce qui peut présenter un certain côté ludique pour l'utilisateur,
on peut utiliser un ressort de barillet à bride
glissante comme dans une montre automatique. Ceci permet
d'éviter tout risque de détérioration du ressort moteur.It is therefore clear that no modification or addition
is only necessary with regard to the clockwork mechanism
well said. The changes only take place
at the housing and the part of the rod
external winding movement. Advantageously and in order
allow the rotating
On peut aussi remarquer que le mécanisme de remontage
et de mise à l'heure est entièrement protégé contre les infiltrations
d'eau et de poussière par des joints d'étanchéité,
mettant ainsi ce mécanisme à l'abri d'une détérioration
ou d'un grippage des pièces mobiles lunette tournante 8 et
pignon 16.We can also notice that the winding mechanism
and time setting is fully protected against infiltration
water and dust through seals,
thus protecting this mechanism from deterioration
or seizure of moving
L'emboítage de la montre n'est que très peu modifié par
rapport à une boíte normale. Une fois le mouvement mis dans
la boíte, avant de fixer le fond 4, on met en place comme
d'habitude la tige de remontoir 15 que l'on fixe, comme dans
toutes les montres, en vissant la vis de tirette (non
représentée). Ensuite, il suffit d'introduire axialement le
pignon 16 et de l'engager sur le tronçon de section carrée
15a de cette tige, après quoi on met en place l'organe de
fermeture 17 et on le fixe à la carrure 3 par deux vis (non
représentées) disposées de part et d'autre de la tige de
remontoir 15. Ensuite, il reste à mettre la lunette tournante
8 en place et à visser les vis de fixation 9 pour
retenir la lunette tournante 8 sur la carrure 3, tout en lui
permettant de tourner pour entraíner le pignon 16 et la tige
de remontoir 15 pour remonter ou mettre la montre à l'heure,
suivant la position axiale de cette tige 15.The case of the watch is only slightly modified by
compared to a normal box. Once the movement is put in
the box, before fixing the
