Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dial provided with particular fasteners and a method of fixing such a dial in a case of a watch.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a housing in which is housed a plate of a movement surmounted by a dial, a support provided with fixing studs being provided on an upper face of said plate for the dial assembly, characterized in that the dial and the support comprise angular locking means for the angular position of the dial on the support, and that the dial is assembled to the plate by means of at least one fastening element flexible integral with the dial and arranged in the plane of the dial.
  • the present invention also relates to an assembly method for such a timepiece comprising a housing, a plate of a movement and a dial, characterized in that it comprises a first step of temporary mounting of the dial on a support arranged on an upper face of the plate with the aid of at least one flexible fastening element secured to the dial and arranged in the plane of the dial, a second step of introducing the platinum-dial assembly thus formed in the case, followed by a third stage of final assembly by axially locking the dial bearing against the support of the plate by means of an axial locking element.
  • An advantage of the solution proposed in the context of the present invention is to make it possible to mount the dial more easily and more quickly to the plate, without the need for an additional station on a mounting line for axially locking the dial on the plate. that is to say, to guarantee its maintenance in support on its support.
  • Another advantage of the proposed solution is to avoid any undue distortion of the dial during assembly, especially for plastic dials, and not to require special tools.
  • the Figure 1B which shows a sectional view along the BB axis visible on the Figure 1A passing through the crimping ring 330, explains how the dial 6 is held pressed against the plate 3.
  • the dial 6 is thus certainly held against its support 30, but the folding of the crimping ring 330 simultaneously at the level of two diametrically opposite slices 60 of the dial 6 also tends to deform the latter, because the pinching of the ridges 67 exerts a torsion torque which may result in a slight bulging of the dial 6.
  • the center of the latter then rises more or less from its support 30.
  • the proposed solution no longer uses a crimping ring 330, and instead proposes flexible fastening elements which no longer exert any torsional stress on it.
  • the dial 6 is provided with integrated flexible fastening elements, preferably in the form of tabs 61 made of the same material as the dial 6 itself, in order to limit the machining costs of these fasteners.
  • these tongues 61 may be metal or plastic.
  • these tabs 61 which are also arranged in the plane of the dial 6 to facilitate their machining and limit the vertical space in the housing 2, cooperate with fixed elements of the plate, formed here by studs 31 extending vertically along the axis of the axis AA of the barrel 9 needles (that is to say, the seconds hand 91, minutes 92 and 93 hours).
  • These fixing studs 31 are also preferably cylindrical, to facilitate for example the molding and maximize the friction forces with the tongues, and also of constant section, that is to say not profiled, and to allow an easy introduction of the dial on the fixing studs 31 overcoat along this vertical axis AA.
  • the dial 6, which can also be seen a window 65 for displaying the date, is preferably affixed vertically on a support disposed on the upper face of the plate 3 in the direction of the axis AA of the barrel to abut on a bearing surface of the support 30 (not shown on the figure 2 but visible on the figure 3 in detail section below).
  • the radial positioning of the dial 6 on the support, that is to say with respect to the center of the axis AA of the barrel 9 of the needles is facilitated by the peripheral stop elements 33 extending along a ring at the level around the dial 6; these latter also make it possible to recover machining tolerances between the barrel 9 of the movement needles and the central orifice 65 of the dial 6 where the latter is introduced.
  • each of the fastening tongues 61 When setting up the dial 6 on the support 30 of the plate 3, each of the fastening tongues 61, none of which radially protrude from the periphery of the dial 6, engages around a corresponding arranged fixing pin 31. on the support 30 of the plate 3 by deforming automatically slightly outwardly, without requiring external intervention, such as forceps etc.
  • the fixing pad 31 then slides in the groove 62 arranged between the body of the dial and the tongue 61, and remains pinched by the tongue 61 which exerts a restoring force towards the inside of the dial 6.
  • a keying-type system is provided between these two pieces; for this purpose an internal radial protuberance 32 is provided on the plate to be inserted in a notch 64 arranged on the periphery of the dial 6.
  • this angular locking could be achieved by means of a device bayonet-type assembly, by introducing the fixing stud 31 to the stop at the bottom 620 of the groove 62.
  • the angular locking would be ensured solely by virtue of friction forces and would require, in the case of the use of a plurality of securing tongues 61 and thus associated grooves 62 and fixing studs 31, of a more precise machining to ensure the concordance of each of the angular positions relative to the abutment positioning of a mounting stud 31 against the bottom 620 of a corresponding groove.
  • this mounting solution of the dial 6 on the plate 3 will be completed later preferably by a locking step of the dial bearing against the support 30 of the plate, to permanently remove this degree of axial freedom.
  • the figure 2 shows the dial 6 assembled to the plate 3 according to a preferred embodiment using flexible tongues 61 arranged in the plane of the dial 6 and extending in a tangential direction at its periphery, after their step of mutual assembly, and their introduction into the casing 2, but before the assembly of the glass 5.
  • this first mutual assembly step which will be described as temporary because all the degrees of freedom are not permanently removed, and this second step of introduction into the housing, it will perform, according to a preferred embodiment of assembly, a third step of definitive assembly by axially locking the dial 6 in abutment against the support 30 by means of an axial locking element preferably constituted precisely by the ice-cream 5 of the timepiece, coming to close the case by coming in support against a scope 21 of the middle part.
  • the figure 3 shows a sectional view of a timepiece 1 in fully assembled position, highlighting the axial locking according to the vertical degree of freedom of the dial 6 along the axis AA of the barrel 9 of the needles relative to the plate 3.
  • the timepiece was first assembled by mounting the dial 6 on the support 30 arranged on the upper surface of the plate, the support 30 having here the shape of a surface of annular support of a first width "L".
  • the dial 6 namely the hour hand 93, minutes 92 and seconds 91
  • the hands namely the hour hand 93, minutes 92 and seconds 91
  • the platinum 3 - dial 6 assembly is then introduced into the housing 2, which is formed here of a monoblock bottom-middle, the bottom 4 of the casing being formed integrally with the middle part 20, for example by driving the thread of the movement 34 against an inner shoulder of the middle part 20. It then remains to mount the assembly of ice 5 - bezel 8, assembled preferably beforehand, at the middle part 20.
  • the middle part 20 preferably has a bearing 21 for the ice 5, against which the heel 51 of the ice comes in support.
  • the ice 5 is then preferably heat-sealed to the middle 20 at heat-sealing zones 22, illustrated by small spouts at the outer periphery of the heel 51.
  • a portion 52 of the heel 51 of the ice 5 abuts against the upper surface of the peripheral edge 63 of the dial 6 which is thus sandwiched between this portion 52 of the heel 51 and the annular bearing surface of the support 30 , thus permanently preventing any movement of the dial 6 along the axis AA.
  • This embodiment is thus particularly advantageous because it does not require any dedicated operation for the axial locking of the dial 6, which is performed in conjunction with the mounting of the window 5 to the middle part of the casing 20.
  • the portion 52 of the heel 51 of the ice 5 has a second width "I" equal to the first width "L" of the annular support surface of the support 30, so that the torsional stresses are optimized for the dial 6 in the case of deformation of the housing 2 or the ice 5 under high pressure stresses, especially during a submarine immersion of great depth, for example a depth greater than 100 meters, and especially if the housing 2 is made of plastic, more plastically deformable than the metal.
  • the Figure 4A shows a dial 6 preferably made of plastic material and used according to the preferred embodiment of attachment illustrated in FIG. figure 2 , comprising a central opening 66 for passing the needle barrel and conventionally a window 65.
  • the flexible fastening elements are integrated tabs 61 arranged at the periphery of the dial 6, without exceeding it. around the periphery, in the immediate vicinity of which are arranged grooves 62 for the introduction of the fastening studs 31 integral with the plate 3.
  • Each groove 62 has a bottom 620 which acts as a stop surface, opens on an opening 621 which allows to introduce the fixing studs 31 under the tongue 61, that is to say between the 6 and the tongue 61.
  • a notch 64 is provided at the periphery of the dial 6 for its angular locking, it could also be provided to affix the dial 6 on its support 30, then d rotate it by rotating the dial counterclockwise S until the studs 31 come into abutment against the bottoms 620 of the grooves 62.
  • the number of tongues here equal to 3, makes it possible to increase the frictional forces between the fastening studs 31 and the tongues 61, and thus to maximize the locking force without requiring a very high height of the dial 6, materialized by the thickness of the slice 60.
  • This slot thus ends also with a bottom 620 forming a radial abutment and also opens on an opening 621 allowing the introduction of the stud 31 for fixing between the two tongues 61, the deformation of which exerts a restoring force which takes the latter in pincers. and guarantees the maintenance by friction.
  • the advantage of this solution is to better guarantee the angular locking of the dial 6 by virtue of the presence of elements whose radial orientation structurally allows no displacement in rotation, and thus has a form of double security with respect to the keying system formed by the notch 64 in the dial 6 and the internal radial protuberance 32 at the plate 3; nevertheless, the friction surfaces are more limited because of the limited number of tabs 61, with equal slice thickness 60. Deformation each tongue 61 is however performed, as for the other preferred embodiment described above with reference to the Figure 4A , always only in the plane of the dial, which makes the editing operation particularly easy and intuitive to achieve.
