  • the housing ring and releasably connect the case back of a watch case to one another.
  • the two parts with one outside and one Internal thread can be provided or the housing ring can be on its face arranged threaded holes into which screws protrude, that penetrate the case back.
  • Watch case made of very hard material such as polycrystalline sapphire or diamond are very popular. Since such materials can practically only be processed by grinding, it is not possible to use a housing ring made of such a material to be provided with a circumferential internal or external thread or make threaded holes in it.
  • the invention lies Task to propose a clock of the type mentioned at which has neither holes nor threads on the housing ring for attaching the Bottom of the housing are required.
  • a Retaining ring is present, which is detachably connected to the housing base and holds the housing ring on the housing base and that either the retaining ring Housing ring surrounds, wherein the retaining ring and the housing ring to each other expand the facing surfaces towards the bottom of the housing or the retaining ring is surrounded by the housing ring, with the retaining ring and the housing ring narrow on the facing surfaces towards the case bottom.
  • the Retaining ring and the housing ring conical on the facing surfaces be trained.
  • one of these parts can have an external thread or an internal thread and the other part correspondingly an internal thread or an external thread.
  • the housing base can also be on the retaining ring with the help of at least two Screws are releasably attached.
  • the retaining ring surrounds the housing ring, he can double according to a preferred embodiment of the invention Exercise function by, in addition to his task of holding together Casing ring and caseback also decorating the watch case serves by decorations such as Engraves or gems.
  • the retaining ring has another function by using fasteners is provided for a bracelet or the like. These fasteners can according to another embodiment also attached to the housing base or be molded on.
  • FIGS 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the inventive Watch case, wherein Figure 1 is an axially sectioned view is and Figures 2 and 3 each half of a plan of two variants demonstrate.
  • a housing ring 1 is made of a hard material such as hard metal, Stone or polycrystalline sapphire or diamond made. As Figure 1 shows the housing ring 1 has a simple profile that is easy to see through Can produce grinding.
  • a glass 2 is inserted in the top of the housing ring 1 and for example attached by gluing.
  • a housing base 3 is arranged and fastened as follows.
  • a retaining ring 4 is arranged, the inner surface is so conical that the inner diameter against which Housing bottom 3 enlarged.
  • the outer surface is in the same way of the housing ring 1 is conical in such a way that the outer Diameter increased towards the housing bottom 3.
  • the retaining ring 4 is made of a material that is softer than that of the housing ring 1 and which is consequently easier to machine.
  • the retaining ring 4 has at least two threaded holes on the side facing the housing base 3 on, reach into the screws 5 by appropriate Through holes of the housing base 3 protrude and the retaining ring 4 against pull the case bottom 3.
  • the housing ring 1 is thereby mentioned conical training held positively on the housing base 3 and centered with it.
  • the retaining ring 4 can in addition to its main task just described perform other tasks at the same time. So you can attach to it a bracelet, or in the case of a pocket watch, a chain or Cord, certain fasteners 6 attached or molded in one piece his.

  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the housing ring 1 and the retaining ring 4 is not conical on the sides facing each other are, but have a level.
  • This housing ring 1 can also be easy to manufacture from a very hard material by grinding.
  • FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the retaining ring 4 is arranged within the housing ring 1.
  • This type of execution has the Advantages that the watch case can be made more compact because none outside the housing ring 1 arranged retaining ring is required and that this watch case is more resistant because practically all of it Shell surface consists of the hard material of the housing ring 1.
