Abstract
Description
Montre à lunette tournante Rotating bezel watch
La présente invention concerne le domaine des montres, en particulier celui des montres de plongée. The present invention relates to the field of watches, in particular that of diving watches.
Couramment, les montres de plongée sous-marine, ou autres, sont équipées à la périphérie d 'un verre ou glace de montre, d' une lunette, se présentant sous la forme d'un anneau, montée tournante sur une carrure. Dans le cas d'une montre de plongée la lunette doit impérativement être rotative, unidirectionnelle et crantée. Commonly, scuba diving watches, or others, are equipped on the periphery with a watch glass or ice, a bezel, in the form of a ring, rotatably mounted on a caseband. In the case of a diving watch the bezel must imperatively be rotatable, unidirectional and notched.
En faisant tourner cette lunette, qui dans le cas d' une utilisation en plongée ne doit obligatoirement tourner que dans le sens inverse des aiguilles de la montre, on peut placer un index d ' origine qu' elle porte en face de l ' aiguille des minutes pour constituer une origine de temps, puis, ultérieurement, constater le temps écoulé depuis cette origine en regardant la position de l ' aiguille des minutes par rapport à l' index de temps d ' origine indiqué sur la lunette. Cela permet de calculer le temps d' immersion et donc les paliers de décompression. By rotating this telescope, which in the case of diving use must turn only in the opposite direction of the needles of the watch, it is possible to place an index of origin which it carries in front of the needle of the minutes to establish an origin of time, then, later, to record the elapsed time from that origin by looking at the position of the minute hand in relation to the original time index indicated on the telescope. This makes it possible to calculate the immersion time and therefore the decompression stops.
Pour pouvoir tourner, la lunette est montée avec un certain jeu sur la carrure, si bien que le sel de mer ou toutes autres particules considérées comme polluantes peuvent s ' accumuler entre la lunette et la carrure au cours des immersions. Cette accumulation cause généralement une corrosion des métaux et un endommagement des moyens de montage, d 'uni-directionnalité et d' anti-retour de la lunette sur la carrure, extrêmement sensibles au sel marin et propices à l ' accumulation de matières polluantes, qui peuvent aboutir à un blo cage de la lunette, rendant la mesure du temps impossible. To be able to turn, the telescope is mounted with a certain clearance on the middle part, so that sea salt or any other particles considered polluting can accumulate between the telescope and the middle part during the immersions. This accumulation generally causes corrosion of metals and damage to the means of assembly, unidirectionality and anti-return of the bezel to the middle part, extremely sensitive to sea salt and conducive to the accumulation of pollutants, which may result in a blind spot, making the measurement of time impossible.
C ' est d' ailleurs la cause maj eure des réparations des montres de plongée essentiellement dues au blocage du système anti-retour par les cristaux de sel accumulés. La seule solution est alors de démonter la lunette, de procéder au nettoyage par ultrason de celle-ci et de changer le système d' anti-retour. La présente invention a pour but d' éviter de tels inconvénients.This is the main reason for the repair of diving watches, mainly due to the blocking of the anti - return system by accumulated salt crystals. The only solution is then to disassemble the telescope, to proceed to ultrasonic cleaning of it and to change the anti-return system. The present invention aims to avoid such disadvantages.
Il est proposé une montre qui comprend une carrure et une lunette montée tournante sur cette carrure, dans laquelle au moins un canal intérieur annulaire est aménagé entre la lunette et la carrure et qui comprend, entre la lunette et la carrure, un moyen de maintien de la lunette sur la carrure et un moyen d' anti-retour, ces moyens étant aménagés au moins en partie dans ledit canal intérieur annulaire. It is proposed a watch which comprises a middle and a bezel rotatably mounted on this caseband, wherein at least one annular inner channel is arranged between the bezel and the middle part and which comprises, between the bezel and the middle part, a means for maintaining the bezel on the middle and a means of non-return, these means being arranged at least partly in said annular inner channel.
La lunette présente au moins un passage traversant, laissé libre, d' accès permanent audit canal intérieur annulaire, mettant en communication de façon permanente ce canal avec l ' extérieur. The bezel has at least one through passage, left free, permanent access to said annular inner channel, permanently communicating this channel with the outside.
Ainsi, ce passage traversant constitue un moyen d' écoulement pour empêcher l ' accumulation de produits polluants dans ledit canal par circulation d' eau et donc le nettoyage de ce canal. Thus, this through passage is a flow means for preventing the accumulation of pollutants in said channel by circulating water and thus the cleaning of this channel.
Ledit passage traversant peut s ' étendre radialement. Said through passage may extend radially.
Ledit passage traversant peut être oblong dans le sens périphérique de ladite lunette. Cette forme permet d' éviter les effets de capillarité. Said through passage may be oblong in the peripheral direction of said bezel. This form avoids the effects of capillarity.
Ledit passage traversant peut présenter une paroi lisse. Said through passage may have a smooth wall.
Ledit passage traversant peut présenter une section constante de l 'une à l ' autre de ses ouvertures débouchant d'une part à l ' intérieur dudit canal intérieur annulaire et d' autre part vers l ' extérieur. Said through passage may have a constant section from one to the other of its openings opening on the one hand inside said annular inner channel and on the other hand to the outside.
La lunette et la carrure peuvent présenter des surfaces adj acentes situées de part et d' autre dudit canal intérieur annulaire et dudit passage traversant. The bezel and middle part may have adjacent surfaces located on either side of said annular inner channel and said through passage.
Le moyen d' anti-retour peut comprendre d'une part un organe d' anti-retour soumis à un ressort et d' autre part une denture d' anti- retour. The non - return means may comprise on the one hand a non - return member subjected to a spring and on the other hand an anti - return toothing.
Le moyen de maintien peut comprendre un ressort à pans engagé dans des rainures annulaires de la lunette et de la carrure, ces rainures débouchant dans ledit canal intérieur annulaire. The holding means may comprise a slotted spring engaged in annular grooves of the bezel and the middle part, these grooves opening into said annular inner channel.
Ledit passage traversant peut présenter, dans le sens axial, une épaisseur comprise entre un tiers et deux tiers de l ' épaisseur de la lunette. Ledit passage traversant peut présenter, dans le sens périphérique, une longueur comprise entre une et deux fois l ' épaisseur de la lunette . Said through passage may have, in the axial direction, a thickness of between one third and two thirds of the thickness of the telescope. Said through passage may have, in the peripheral direction, a length of between one and two times the thickness of the telescope.
La longueur dudit passage traversant, dans le sens circonférentiel, peut être au moins égale à quatre fois sa largeur, dans le sens de l ' épaisseur axiale de la lunette tournante. The length of said through passage, in the circumferential direction, may be at least four times its width, in the direction of the axial thickness of the rotating bezel.
Ledit passage traversant peut s ' étendre sur un secteur angulaire compris entre vingt et trente degrés . Said through passage may extend over an angular sector of between twenty and thirty degrees.

La carrure 3 comprend des paires opposées de cornes extérieures 10 et 1 1 pour le montage des bracelets de montre. Le mécanisme de montre 8 est muni d' une couronne vissée rotative extérieure 12 de mise à l ' heure, dont l ' axe traverse radicalement la carrure 3 pour s ' accoupler au mécanisme de montre 8. Selon l ' exemple représenté, la couronne vissée 12 est placée entre deux paires de cornes. The middle part 3 comprises opposite pairs of outer horns 10 and 1 1 for mounting the watch straps. The watch mechanism 8 is provided with an external rotary screwing ring 12 for setting the time, whose axis passes radically through the middle part 3 to mate with the watch mechanism 8. According to the example shown, the screwed crown 12 is placed between two pairs of horns.
Sur la partie supérieure de la carrure 3 est montée une lunette 13 , tournante ou rotative, unidirectionnellement, par rapport à la carrure 3 et se présentant sur la forme d'un anneau cranté, dont le montage spécifique et la structure spécifique vont maintenant être décrits, à titre d' exemples de réalisation. On the upper part of the caseband 3 is mounted a telescope 13, rotating or rotatable, unidirectionally, with respect to the caseband 3 and having the shape of a notched ring, whose specific assembly and the specific structure will now be described. , as exemplary embodiments.
Comme illustré en particulier sur les figures 4 et 5 , la partie supérieure de la carrure 3 présente un dégagement annulaire, en forme de feuillure annulaire, qui est déterminé par un flanc annulaire 14 orienté vers le haut et un flanc annulaire 15 orienté radicalement vers l ' extérieur, ce flanc annulaire 15 étant déterminé par une portion annulaire 16 de la carrure 3 en saillie vers le haut par rapport au flanc annulaire 14. As illustrated in particular in Figures 4 and 5, the upper part of the middle part 3 has an annular clearance, in the form of annular rebate, which is determined by an annular flank 14 facing upwards and an annular flank 15 oriented radically towards outside, this annular flank 15 being determined by an annular portion 16 of the middle part 3 projecting upwards with respect to the annular flank 14.
Le flanc annulaire 14 de la carrure 3 comprend une surface annulaire radiale périphérique 17 de butée axiale et une gorge annulaire 1 8 en retrait vers le bas par rapport à cette surface de butée 17 et située entre cette surface de butée et la portion annulaire 16.

Les j eux pouvant éventuellement exister entre les surfaces adj acentes 17 et 22, entre les surfaces adj acentes 19 et 25 , entre les surfaces adj acentes 28 et 29 et entre les surfaces adj acentes 30 et 3 1 constituent des jeux de fonctionnement de faibles épaisseurs, tandis que la partie radiale 26a et la partie axiale 26b, constituant le canal intérieur annulaire 26, spécialement réalisé et aménagé à cet effet pour permettre la circulation libre de l ' eau et ainsi le nettoyage, déterminent des espaces intérieurs radiaux et axiaux ou canaux dont les épaisseurs sont notablement supérieures aux épaisseurs de ces j eux de fonctionnement. If they can possibly exist between adjacent surfaces 17 and 22, between adjacent surfaces 19 and 25, between adjoining surfaces 28 and 29 and between adjoining surfaces 30 and 31, they are operating sets of small thicknesses. , while the radial portion 26a and the axial portion 26b, constituting the annular inner channel 26, specially designed and arranged for this purpose to allow free circulation of water and thus cleaning, determine radial and axial interior spaces or channels whose thicknesses are significantly greater than the thicknesses of these j them operating.
Selon un exemple de réalisation, comme illustré en particulier sur les figures 3 , 4 et 5 , la lunette tournante 13 est maintenue sur la carrure 3 par l' intermédiaire d'un ressort de maintien 32 monté de la manière suivante. According to an exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in particular in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the rotating bezel 13 is held on the middle 3 by means of a holding spring 32 mounted in the following manner.
Dans le flanc 24 de la lunette tournante 13 est aménagée une gorge annulaire 33 ouverte en regard de la zone de jonction entre la surface annulaire 19 et la gorge annulaire 20 de la portion annulaire 1 5 de la carrure 3. In the side 24 of the rotating bezel 13 is arranged an annular groove 33 open facing the junction zone between the annular surface 19 and the annular groove 20 of the annular portion 1 5 of the middle part 3.
Le ressort de maintien 32 est constitué par un fil à pans conformé sous la forme d 'un polygone régulier incomplet. Ce ressort à pans de maintien 32 est engagé dans la gorge annulaire 33 de la lunette tournante 13 et coopère avec la portion annulaire 16 de la carrure 3 . Le ressort de maintien 32 s ' étend sur une partie du pourtour de la gorge annulaire 33 , par exemple sur environ les trois quarts . The retaining spring 32 is constituted by a framed wire in the form of an incomplete regular polygon. This retaining spring 32 is engaged in the annular groove 33 of the rotating bezel 13 and cooperates with the annular portion 16 of the middle part 3. The holding spring 32 extends over a portion of the periphery of the annular groove 33, for example about three quarters.
Le ressort de maintien 32 est construit de telle sorte que les portions centrales de ses pans 32a soient légèrement engagées dans la gorge 14 de la portion 1 6 de la carrure 3 et prennent appui sur le coin de jonction entre la surface annulaire 19 et la gorge annulaire 20 de la portion annulaire 15 de la carrure 3 , tandis que ses sommets 32b , rejoignant ces pans 32a, sont adj acents au fond de la gorge annulaire 33 de la lunette tournante 13 ou en contact sur ce fond. The holding spring 32 is constructed so that the central portions of its flanges 32a are slightly engaged in the groove 14 of the portion 1 6 of the caseband 3 and rest on the junction wedge between the annular surface 19 and the groove annular 20 of the annular portion 15 of the middle part 3, while its vertices 32b, joining these flanges 32a, are adjacent to the bottom of the annular groove 33 of the rotating bezel 13 or in contact therewith.
Dans cette position de maintien du ressort de maintien 32, la lunette tournante 13 est sollicitée vers le bas de façon que les surfaces radiales de butée 1 7 et 22 de la carrure 3 et de la lunette tournante 1 3 soient maintenues en butée axiale. In this holding position of the holding spring 32, the rotating bezel 13 is biased downwards so that the radial abutment surfaces 1 7 and 22 of the middle part 3 and the rotating bezel 1 3 are held in axial abutment.
Lorsqu'un utilisateur fait tourner la lunette tournante 13 par rapport à la carrure 3 , le ressort de maintien 32 glisse sur le coin de jonction précité et/ou dans la gorge annulaire 24 et les surfaces radiales de butée 17 et 22 glissent l 'une sur l ' autre. Le centrage de la lunette tournante 13 peut être assuré par glissement du flanc de l ' épaulement 23 contre le flanc de la gorge 1 8 l 'un sur l ' autre et/ou par glissement des surfaces 19 et 25 l 'une sur l ' autre et/ou par l ' appui du ressort de maintien 32 sur le fond de la gorge 33 et sur le coin de jonction précitée. When a user rotates the rotating bezel 13 relative to the middle part 3, the holding spring 32 slides on the aforementioned joint wedge and / or in the annular groove 24 and the radial abutment surfaces 17 and 22 slide one on the other. The centering of the rotating bezel 13 can be ensured by sliding the side of the shoulder 23 against the side of the groove 1 8 one on the other and / or by sliding of the surfaces 19 and 25 one on the other and / or by the support of the retaining spring 32 on the bottom of the groove 33 and on the aforementioned corner junction.
Pour monter la lunette tournante 13 sur la carrure 3 , on engage la lunette tournante 1 3 autour de la portion annulaire 16 de la carrure 3. Le ressort de maintien 32 se déforme dans le sens de sa pénétration dans la gorge annulaire 33 de la lunette tournante 13 , glisse sur la surface 19 de la portion annulaire 1 6 puis se déforme dans l ' autre sens pour atteindre et prendre sa position de maintien décrite ci-dessus . To mount the rotating bezel 13 on the middle part 3, the rotating bezel 1 3 is engaged around the annular portion 16 of the middle part 3. The holding spring 32 is deformed in the direction of its penetration into the annular groove 33 of the rotating bezel 13, slides on the surface 19 of the annular portion 1 6 and then deforms in the other direction to reach and take its holding position described above.
Selon un exemple de réalisation, comme illustré en particulier sur les figures 4 et 6, la lunette tournante 13 ne peut tourner que dans un sens par rapport à la carrure 3 grâce à la présence d'un moyen d' anti-retour 34 formé de la manière suivante. According to an exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in particular in FIGS. 4 and 6, the rotating bezel 13 can only rotate in one direction relative to the middle part 3 thanks to the presence of a non-return means 34 formed of the following way.
L ' épaulement 23 de la lunette tournante 13 présente une denture d' anti-retour 35 orientée vers le fond de la gorge annulaire 1 8 de la carrure 3. The shoulder 23 of the rotating bezel 13 has a nonreturn gear 35 directed towards the bottom of the annular groove 1 8 of the caseband 3.
Le corps 36 du moyen d' anti retour 34 est monté dans un trou axial 37 de la carrure 3 et comprend un organe d' anti-retour 38 soumis à un ressort, inséré dans le corps 36 et non représenté, le so llicitant vers la denture 35. La denture d' anti-retour 35 et l ' organe d' anti-retour 38 sont aménagés pour que l ' organe d' anti-retour 38 puisse passer, dans un sens de rotation de la lunette tournante 13 par rapport à la carrure 3 , au-dessus de la denture d' anti-retour 35 et, dans l ' autre sens de rotation, entrer en prise avec la dent, de la denture d' anti-retour 35 , correspondant à la position atteinte. Sont prévues soixante dents pour soixante crans pour indexer chacune des soixante secondes constituant une minute. The body 36 of the anti-return means 34 is mounted in an axial hole 37 of the middle part 3 and comprises a non-return member 38 subjected to a spring, inserted in the body 36 and not shown, the solvent to the Toothing 35. The anti-return toothing 35 and the non-return member 38 are arranged so that the non-return member 38 can pass in a direction of rotation of the rotating bezel 13 with respect to the caseband 3, above the anti-return toothing 35 and, in the other direction of rotation, engage with the tooth, of the anti-return toothing 35, corresponding to the position reached. Sixty teeth are provided for sixty notches to index each of the sixty seconds constituting one minute.
Comme illustré en particulier sur les figures 2, 5 et 6, la lunette tournante 13 présente un passage traversant, laissé libre, d' accès 39 permettant, uniquement et exclusivement, de mettre en communication de façon permanente le canal intérieur annulaire 26 avec l ' extérieur. As illustrated in particular in Figures 2, 5 and 6, the rotating bezel 13 has a through passage, left free, access 39 allowing exclusively and exclusively to permanently communicate the annular inner channel 26 with the outside.
Selon un exemple de réalisation, tel que représenté, le passage traversant 39 est aménagé radialement au travers de la lunette tournante 13 et débouche dans la partie 26b du canal intérieur annulaire 26 et dans la zone de la rainure annulaire 38 de la lunette tournante 13. According to an exemplary embodiment, as shown, the through passage 39 is arranged radially through the rotating bezel 13 and opens into the portion 26b of the annular inner channel 26 and in the region of the annular groove 38 of the rotating bezel 13.
Selon un exemp le de réalisation, la paroi du passage traversant 39 est lisse. Selon un exemple de réalisation, le passage traversant 39 présente une section constante de l 'une à l ' autre de ses ouvertures débouchant d'une part à l ' intérieur du canal intérieur annulaire 26 et d' autre part vers l ' extérieur. According to one embodiment, the wall of the through passage 39 is smooth. According to an exemplary embodiment, the through passage 39 has a constant section from one to the other of its openings opening on the one hand inside the annular inner channel 26 and on the other hand to the outside.
Par exemp le, le passage traversant 39 peut présenter, dans le sens axial, une épaisseur comprise entre un tiers et deux tiers de l ' épaisseur de la lunette tournante 13 et, dans le sens périphérique, une longueur comprise entre une et deux fois l ' épaisseur de la lunette tournante 13. Par exemple, ledit passage traversant s ' étend sur un secteur angulaire, par rapport au centre de la montre, compris entre vingt et trente degrés . For example, the through passage 39 may have, in the axial direction, a thickness between one third and two thirds of the thickness of the rotating bezel 13 and, in the peripheral direction, a length of between one and two times the For example, said through passage extends over an angular sector, relative to the center of the watch, of between twenty and thirty degrees.
Selon une réalisation avantageuse, le passage traversant 39 présente une forme oblongue ou allongée dans le sens périphérique de la lunette tournante 13. De façon simple à exécuter, cette forme oblongue peut résulter d'une opération de perçage en déplaçant l ' axe du foret par exemp le parallèlement à lui-même dans le sens périphérique de la lunette. Néanmoins, cette forme oblongue peut être autre. Par exemple, elle peut être rectangulaire ou résulter de deux perçages espacés dans le sens circonférentiel et d'un fraisage reliant ces deux perçages et de largeur inférieure aux diamètres de ces perçages. De préférence, la longueur de cette forme oblongue, dans le sens circonférentiel, est au moins égale à quatre fois sa largeur, dans le sens de l ' épaisseur axiale de la lunette tournante 13. According to an advantageous embodiment, the through passage 39 has an oblong or elongated shape in the circumferential direction of the rotating bezel 13. In a simple way to perform, this oblong shape can result from a drilling operation by moving the axis of the drill bit by Except parallel to itself in the peripheral direction of the telescope. Nevertheless, this oblong shape can be other. For example, it may be rectangular or result from two bores spaced in the circumferential direction and a milling connecting these two bores and of width less than the diameters of these bores. Preferably, the length of this oblong shape, in the circumferential direction, is at least four times its width, in the direction of the axial thickness of the rotating bezel 13.
Lorsque la montre 1 est utilisée, des produits polluants pour elle-même peuvent s ' accumuler dans tous les endroits dans lesquels la lunette tournante 1 3 est en vis-à-vis ou en contact avec la carrure 3 et le verre de montre 6, comme cela a été décrit précédemment. When the watch 1 is used, pollutants for itself can accumulate in all the places in which the rotating bezel 1 3 is opposite or in contact with the middle part 3 and the watch glass 6, as previously described.
Plus particulièrement, des produits polluants peuvent s ' accumuler dans les endroits dans lesquels la lunette tournante 13 est en vis-à-vis et/ou en contact avec la carrure 3 et le verre de montre 6 et dans lesquels se trouvent les moyens de montage et les moyens d' anti-rotation. More particularly, pollutants can accumulate in places in which the rotating bezel 13 is vis-à-vis and / or in contact with the middle part 3 and the watch glass 6 and in which are the mounting means and the anti-rotation means.
Une telle pollution pourrait aboutir à une attaque des métaux constitutifs et à un blo cage de la lunette tournante 13 par rapport à la carrure 3. C ' est le cas en particulier lorsque la montre 1 est utilisée dans un milieu marin dans lequel le produit polluant principal est le sel. Such pollution could result in an attack of the constituent metals and a locking of the rotating bezel 13 with respect to the 3. This is particularly the case when the watch 1 is used in a marine environment in which the main polluting product is salt.
Grâce à l ' existence du passage traversant 39, laissé libre en permanence, il se produit un effet de brassage de l ' eau dans le canal intérieur annulaire 26 au travers du passage traversant 39, ce qui limite, en utilisation courante, le risque d ' accumulation et de stagnation des produits polluants dans le canal intérieur annulaire 26 ouvert par le passage traversant 39. Thanks to the existence of the through passage 39, left free at all times, there is a stirring effect of the water in the annular inner channel 26 through the through passage 39, which limits, in common use, the risk of accumulation and stagnation of the polluting products in the annular inner channel 26 opened by the through passage 39.
En outre, l'utilisateur peut procéder à un rinçage. Par exemp le l 'utilisateur plonge la montre 1 dans de l ' eau claire et propre ou la place sous un flux d' eau sortant d'un robinet et fait tourner la lunette tournante 13 par rapport à la carrure 3 pour que l ' ouverture créée par le passage traversant 39 balaye circonférentiellement le canal intérieur annulaire 26. In addition, the user can flush. For example, the user plunges the watch 1 into clean clear water or places it under a stream of water coming out of a tap and rotates the rotating bezel 13 with respect to the caseband 3 so that the opening created by the through passage 39 circumferentially scans the annular inner channel 26.
Ce faisant, l' eau claire et propre pénètre et circule dans le canal intérieur annulaire 26 et en ressort en générant un flux important d' eau. Ce flux entraîne avec lui les produits polluants et assure un nettoyage du canal intérieur annulaire 26, des moyens de rotation, des moyens d' anti-retour et des fentes qui peuvent exister entre lesdites surfaces en vis-à-vis de la lunette tournante 13 par rapport à la carrure 3 et le verre de montre 6. In doing so, clean, clean water enters and flows into the annular inner channel 26 and emerges therefrom generating a large flow of water. This flow carries with it pollutants and ensures cleaning of the annular inner channel 26, rotation means, non-return means and slots that may exist between said surfaces vis-à-vis the rotating bezel 13 compared to the middle part 3 and the watch glass 6.
Les sections et formes du canal intérieur annulaire 26 et du passage traversant 39 sont suffisamment grandes pour que les effets de capillarité de l ' eau ne s ' opposent pas à l' écoulement souhaité de l' eau et au rinçage au travers du passage traversant 39 et dans le canal annulaire intérieur 26. The sections and shapes of the annular inner channel 26 and the through passage 39 are so large that the capillary effects of the water do not oppose the desired flow of water and rinsing through the through passage 39 and in the inner annular channel 26.
La présente invention ne se limite pas à l ' exemple ci-dessus décrit. En particulier, la lunette tournante pourrait présenter plusieurs passages traversants de nettoyage . Le passage traversant de nettoyage pourrait être aménagé selon une direction autre que radiale. Le montage de la lunette tournante sur la carrure et le moyen d' antirotation unidirectionnel dans un sens pourraient présenter des structures différentes, mettant en œuvre d' autres moyens mécaniques. Bien des variantes de réalisation sont possibles sans sortir du cadre l' invention. The present invention is not limited to the example described above. In particular, the rotating bezel could have several through passages cleaning. The through passage of cleaning could be arranged in a direction other than radial. The mounting of the rotating bezel on the middle part and the unidirectional antirotation means in one direction could have different structures, implementing other mechanical means. Many alternative embodiments are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
