Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Les brevets suivants décrivent des approches qui vont dans le même sens que l'invention, mais qui n'utilisent pas les mêmes moyens et qui n'atteignent pas le même but.The following patents describe approaches that go in the same direction as the invention, but that do not use the same means and that do not achieve the same goal.

Le brevet suisse CH 684814 décrit une pièce d'horlogerie avec des moyens qui permettent de modifier la présentation du tour d'heures. Une crémaillère est agencée pour coopérer avec une couronne et permettre la rotation. A l'endroit des points horaires sont prévus des plots libres en rotation, pourvus de satellites en prise avec la crémaillère. Les faces de prismes montés sur ces plots sont serties de pierres précieuses, lesquelles apparaissent à travers des ouvertures ménagées dans la carrure ou le cadran.The Swiss patent CH 684814 describes a timepiece with means that make it possible to modify the presentation of the tour d'heures. A rack is arranged to cooperate with a ring and allow rotation. At the location of the hourly points there are provided free rotating studs, provided with satellites in engagement with the rack. The faces of prisms mounted on these studs are set with precious stones, which appear through openings in the caseband or dial.

Le brevet allemand DE 33129 décrit un cadran de montre qui permet de voir les vingt-quatre heures du jour. Une fenêtre, pratiquée à l'endroit où se trouve la mention de l'heure montre une face d'un corps à quatre faces, muni d'un axe tenu par des paliers. Sur les faces sont inscrites les heures correspondantes de 1 à 12 et de 13 à 24. L'axe tenant ce corps est pourvu de goupilles que vient actionner à chaque tour d'horloge une tige, elle-même reliée à l'axe animant les aiguilles. Au passage de l'aiguille des heures, la face visible du corps tourne d'un quart de tour et passe, par exemple, d'une heure à treize heures.The German patent DE 33129 describes a watch dial that lets you see the twenty-four hours of the day. A window, at the place where the time is found, shows a face of a four-sided body, with an axis held by bearings. On the faces are written the corresponding hours of 1 to 12 and 13 to 24. The axis holding this body is provided with pins that comes to actuate at each clock tower a rod, itself connected to the axis animating the needles. At the passage of the hour hand, the visible face of the body turns a quarter of a turn and passes, for example, from one hour to thirteen hours.

Le brevet suisse CH 666380 décrit une montre munie d'éléments décoratifs mobiles. La boîte de montre comporte un disque décoratif avec des fenêtres, tournant librement selon l'axe des aiguilles, et un second disque mobile, muni en périphérie d'une portion en croissant sertie de brillants et créant un balourd, tournant librement selon le même axe que le premier disque décoratif. Le déplacement de ces éléments décoratifs autour du cadran de la montre est aléatoire, ce qui constitue l'élément de similitude avec l'invention.The Swiss patent CH 666380 describes a watch with movable decorative elements. The watch case has a decorative disk with windows, freely rotating along the axis of the needles, and a second mobile disc, provided on the periphery with a crescent portion set with brilliants and creating a unbalanced, rotating freely along the same axis as the first decorative disc. The displacement of these decorative elements around the dial of the watch is random, which constitutes the element of similarity with the invention.

Le brevet japonais JP 2003084079 décrit une horloge où les chiffres du tour d'heures sont inscrits sur des portes qui peuvent s'ouvrir à des moments déterminés. Les portes sont réparties par groupes de trois qui s'ouvrent successivement selon un programme agissant par des commandes électriques. Derrière les portes se trouvent des décorations diverses. Les séquences inversées referment les portes de chaque groupe de trois.The Japanese patent JP 2003084079 describes a clock where the numbers of the hours are written on doors that can open at certain times. The doors are divided into groups of three which open successively according to a program acting by electric controls. Behind the doors are various decorations. Inverted sequences close the doors of each group of three.

Divulgation de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

Le but de l'invention est de créer un effet esthétique par la variation du tour d'heures, sous l'action d'une masse qui se déplace en fonction de la position du bras et qui fait tourner des bascules.

Mode(s) de réalisation de l'inventionMode (s) of realization of the invention

La figure 1 montre la pièce d'horlogerie, vu de dessus et de dessous. Le boîtier 1 est muni d'une glace 9 au travers de laquelle est visible le module 2. Le couvercle de ce module 2 qui apparaît sur la figure 2, comprend une face percée d'ouvertures rondes 5 ou rectangulaires 6. Le centre du module 2 est évidé pour faire la place au mouvement. La vue en 3D de la figure 3 donne une représentation des deux pièces du module, le couvercle 2 monté sur la base 11.The figure 1 shows the timepiece, seen from above and from below. The housing 1 is provided with an ice cream 9 through which the module 2 is visible. The lid of this module 2 which appears on the figure 2 , comprises a pierced face of round or rectangular openings 6. The center of the module 2 is hollowed out to make room for movement. The 3D view of the figure 3 gives a representation of the two parts of the module, the cover 2 mounted on the base 11.

La figure 4 est une vue de dessous de la base du module 11, muni des douze bascules 7 et 8. Dans cette forme d'exécution, quatre bascules portent des pierres rectangulaires et huit des pierres rondes. Les lignes de coupe A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D et E-E sont représentées et décrites ci-après. L figure 5 est une vue en 3D de la même pièce. L'évidement au centre du module, pour la mise en place du mouvement 29 est bien visible.The figure 4 is a view from below of the base of the module 11, provided with the twelve latches 7 and 8. In this embodiment, four rockers carry rectangular stones and eight round stones. Section lines AA, BB, CC, DD and EE are shown and described hereinafter. The figure 5 is a 3D view of the same room. The recess in the center of the module, for the establishment of the movement 29 is clearly visible.

La figure 6 est la représentation des coupes A-A et B-B de l'ensemble de la pièce d'horlogerie. L'enveloppe externe comprend le boîtier 1, la glace 9 et la fond 17. Le module comprend le couvercle 2 et la base 11. Ce module enferme les bascules 7, 8 sur lesquelles sont montées les pierres 10, 20. Les bascules 7, 8 sont pourvues d'axes 25 qui coopèrent avec des paliers formés dans les deux parties du module 2, 11 permettant leur rotation. Les bascules 7, 8 sont encore munies de goupilles 12, lesquelles coopèrent avec les fourches 28 de la masse oscillante 14, elle-même posée sur le fond 17. Cette masse ne peut se déplacer que longitudinalement. Latéralement, elle est munie de galets 15 qui roulent sur des pistes 26. Les têtes des axes 16 servent de butées latérales. Lorsque le boîtier est incliné dans l'axe longitudinal, la masse 17 se déplace jusqu'à ce qu'elle rencontre la butée du fond 27. Une inclinaison dans l'autre sens provoque le déplacement contraire. En se déplaçant, la masse oscillante 14 entraîne par les goupilles 12 les bascules 7, 8, provoquant le changement des pierres du tour d'heures.The figure 6 is the representation of AA and BB cuts of the entire timepiece. The outer casing comprises the casing 1, the ice-cream 9 and the bottom 17. The module comprises the lid 2 and the base 11. This module encloses the rockers 7, 8 on which the stones 10, 20 are mounted. The rockers 7, 8 are provided with pins 25 which cooperate with bearings formed in the two parts of the module 2, 11 for their rotation. The rockers 7, 8 are further provided with pins 12, which cooperate with the forks 28 of the oscillating mass 14, itself placed on the bottom 17. This mass can move only longitudinally. Laterally, it is provided with rollers 15 which roll on tracks 26. The heads of the pins 16 serve as lateral stops. When the housing is inclined in the longitudinal axis, the mass 17 moves until it meets the abutment of the bottom 27. An inclination in the other direction causes the displacement opposite. In moving, the oscillating mass 14 causes the pins 12 the latches 7, 8, causing the change of the stones of the hour circle.

La figure 7 est une coupe C-C de l'ensemble à 10 heures. Le cadran 21 est positionné : Il ne sert ici qu'à masquer le mouvement 29. La figure 8 est la Coupe D-D de l'ensemble. à 3 heures. La particularité de cette position est le passage laissé libre pour la tige de couronne à travers le tube 23 et le trou ménagé dans chaque bascule 7, 8. Une autre possibilité est de placer la couronne entre deux heures, par exemple, entre 3 heures et 4 heures.The figure 7 is a cut CC of the set at 10 o'clock. The dial 21 is positioned: It is only used here to hide the movement 29. The figure 8 is the DD Cup of the set. at 3 o'clock. The peculiarity of this position is the passage left free for the crown rod through the tube 23 and the hole in each rocker 7, 8. Another possibility is to place the crown between two hours, for example, between 3 hours and 4 hours.

La figure 9 est une coupe 6h-12h de l'ensemble. Les bascules 7 coopérant avec la masse 14 par l'intermédiaire des fourches 28 sont bien visibles. La figure 10 montre les deux positions extrêmes d'une bascule 7, qui montre tour à tour l'une ou l'autre pierre 10. Il faut remarquer qu'un espace libre met en contact chaque pierre 10 avec l'orifice 30. Ce canal peut être utilisé comme conduit de lumière dans le cas d'un éclairage des pierres 10, 20 par des diodes (non-représentées). Les figures 11 et 12 sont des vues en 3D des bascules 7, 8.The figure 9 is a 6h-12h cut of the set. The latches 7 cooperating with the mass 14 via the forks 28 are clearly visible. The figure 10 shows the two extreme positions of a rocker 7, which shows in turn one or the other stone 10. It should be noted that a free space contacts each stone 10 with the orifice 30. This channel can be used as a light pipe in the case of illumination of stones 10, 20 by diodes (not shown). The figures 11 and 12 are 3D views of flip-flops 7, 8.

Parmi les autres formes d'exécution, il faut mentionner le fait que le décor des bascules peut être très divers. Au lieu de pierres, il peut y avoir des symboles, des signes ou des représentations. Une forme d'exécution représente un oeil sur une position et une paupière sur l'autre position, la face extérieure du couvercle du module contribuant, par sa décoration, à compléter la forme d'un oeil. Ainsi, lorsque les bascules 7, 8 changent de position, chaque oeil s'ouvre ou se ferme.Among the other embodiments, it should be mentioned that the decor of the scales can be very diverse. Instead of stones, there may be symbols, signs or representations. One embodiment represents an eye on a position and an eyelid on the other position, the outer face of the module cover contributing, by its decoration, to complete the shape of an eye. Thus, when the latches 7, 8 change position, each eye opens or closes.

Une autre forme d'exécution concerne l'éclairage des pierres 7, 8. L'idée pour économiser l'énergie de la batterie est de lancer un flash en ouvrant un contact au passage de la masse 14 ou de n'éclairer qu'un nombre limité de pierres. Une autre possibilité est de créer un son ou un bruit à chaque mouvement de la mase oscillante.Another embodiment relates to lighting stones 7, 8. The idea to save battery power is to launch a flash by opening a contact to the passage of the mass 14 or to illuminate only one limited number of stones. Another possibility is to create a sound or a noise with each movement of the oscillating mase.

Ces exemples montrent la place que l'invention fait à la créativité pour réaliser des effets esthétiques et surprenants.These examples show the place that the invention makes to creativity to achieve aesthetic and surprising effects.
