Description

Technical field

The invention relates to the watch industry, in particular to watches, when using which it is possible to quickly change their appearance by turning 180 ° degrees of the clock capsule. This watch is called "Changeling".

State of the art

Known watches containing a decorative case with a sealed capsule with a clockwork inside. The capsule has a case with a clockwork fixed in it, above the dial of which a glass is fixed in the case of the capsule, and on the opposite side the body cavity is closed by a lid. The decorative case has an upper part with a rim forming a window covering the glass of the capsule and a lower part in the form of a lid pressing the sealed capsule to the rim (see RF patent No. 2298820, G04B 37/18 of 05/10/2007). In this watch, you can quickly replace the sealed capsule with a new capsule, or turn the sealed capsule in the case with the clockwork, but you need to disassemble the decorative case.

Known watches with a flip capsule with a clockwork, comprising a case having a recess in which a flip capsule with a clockwork is located. The recess is limited by two side walls, in each of which a groove is made, and the capsule is equipped with two pins interacting with these grooves, and latches that protect the capsule from unauthorized displacement relative to the housing. When the capsule is rotated through 180 °, the retainer is released and one end of the capsule is lifted, leading it out of the recess. Then, rotate the capsule relative to the pins through 180 ° while simultaneously moving the capsule along the recesses, lower the capsule into the recess and fix the capsule in an inverted position (see US Pat. No. 6,738,317, G04B 37/00 of 05/18/2004). This scheme is the most used in watches with a capsule with a clockwork. It should be noted that in this design the capsule cannot be replaced by another capsule (or this capsule cannot be installed in another case) without disassembling the clock.

Known watches with flip capsule with a clockwork, containing a flip case for capsules with a clockwork. The case is made in the form of an invertible ring fixed with the possibility of rotation directly on the end nodes of the bracelet (see US patent No. 7507017, G04B 37/00 from 03.24.20090).

Known watches with a flip capsule with a clockwork, comprising a case with a recess in which a flip capsule with a clockwork is placed. On one of the sides of the base of the recess there is a hinged support with two degrees of freedom, by means of which the capsule is turned over and is attached to the base of the housing. The watch is equipped with clamps to prevent unauthorized displacement of the capsule relative to the base of the case. To flip the capsule with the clockwork 180 °, release the lock, turn the capsule with the clockwork relative to the base by 90 ° and take the capsule with the clockwork outside the recess. Then the clock capsule is rotated 180 ° around its axis and returned to the recess, where it is fixed in an inverted position (see German Patent No. 20212779 G04B 37/14 of 02/06/2003). This design imposes stringent requirements on the design of the articulated support, since it is impossible to regulate the force that the user will exert when flipping the capsule with a clockwork. In addition, in this design it is very difficult to replace the capsule with a clockwork with another capsule if the consumer wants to radically change the appearance of the watch, since it will require the use of a specialized tool.

Known watches with a flip capsule with a clockwork, containing a base in the form of an annular frame equipped with means for attaching to the bracelet, and a module mounted on the base, including an annular supporting outer frame with a sealed flip capsule fixed inside it with one or more clock mechanisms, and means for protecting the sealed capsule from unauthorized rotation relative to the supporting outer frame. The sealed capsule has a cylindrical side surface, the diameter of which is consistent with the dimensions of the opening of the annular supporting outer frame. The supporting frame is mounted on the upper surface of the ring frame of the watch case with several screws. The sealed capsule is rotatably fixed inside the external supporting frame and has a housing divided into two parts along the longitudinal plane of symmetry, rigidly connected to each other along the plane of the capsule connector. The sealed capsule is fixed inside the supporting frame using two hinge supports made in the form of pins located in the plane of the capsule body connector on one axis crossing the supporting frame from two diametrically opposite sides of the sealed capsule. The sealed capsule has windows located above the dials of the clockwork and covered with glass. The clockwork heads are recessed into the wall of the case of the sealed capsule so as not to impede the rotation of the sealed capsule relative to the supporting outer frame. To flip the sealed capsule, the watch is removed from the hand, the locks are released, the sealed capsule is rotated 180 ° and fixed in a new position (see published application US No. 20090257323 A1, IPC G04B 37/00, dated October 15, 2009). The location of the hinge supports in the plane of the capsule connector leads to certain technological problems, since each hinge support includes two beds with a cylindrical side surface, made on the surface of the connector. When two bodies are connected, they form two cylindrical holes, which should be located on the same axis. However, in such a construction it is very difficult to achieve that when two beds form a single cylindrical surface when connected, since each bed or pair of beds is processed separately from each other, and therefore each bed will have its own deviations, for example, for the radius of the cylindrical surface of the bed wall . Therefore, precision treatment of each bed is required to ensure reliability and smoothness of rotation of the capsule with a clockwork. As in the previous case, if it becomes necessary to install another sealed capsule in the watch, it is necessary to disassemble the watch using a specialized tool.

Known watches with flip capsule with clockwork, containing a flat base equipped with a means of attachment to the bracelet, and mounted on the base module, which includes a supporting external frame with a sealed flip capsule with a clock mechanism fixed inside it, means for protecting the sealed capsule from unauthorized rotation relative to the supporting outer frame, for example friction joints, and means for preventing unauthorized displacement of the bearing frame of the relative but the foundation. The sealed capsule is equipped with a clock mechanism having a clock shaft that protrudes beyond one of the side walls of the capsule body, with glass covering the outside of the dial of the specified clock mechanism, and may have a second clock mechanism with a dial facing the opposite surface of the sealed capsule and closed from the outside with a second glass. The sealed capsule has a side surface that is consistent with the size and shape of the opening of the supporting outer frame. The supporting frame is pivotally mounted on one of the side edges of the flat base. The sealed capsule is rotatably fixed inside the external supporting frame and has a housing divided into two parts along the longitudinal plane of symmetry, rigidly connected to each other along the plane of the capsule connector. The sealed capsule is fixed inside the bearing frame using two hinge supports located in the plane of the capsule body connector on the same axis crossing the bearing frame from two diametrically opposite sides of the sealed capsule, and the clockwork translated shaft passed through the corresponding through hole is used as the first hinged support a hole made in the adjacent wall of the supporting frame, and the second articulated support is equipped with a trunnion. When the sealed capsule is flipped over, the retainers holding the external supporting frame are released, the external supporting frame is rotated together with the sealed capsule relative to the base, then the sealed capsule is rotated 180 °, the external supporting frame is moved to contact with the base and fixed on the base (see PCT publication, WO 2005/043259 G04B 37/04 05/12/2005). This design is the closest analogue to the claimed watch with a reversible clockwork. According to the mounting scheme of the hinged supports of the capsule with the clockwork in the supporting frame, this design coincides with the design described in US published application No. 20090257323, and its use is associated with the same problems. In addition, the use of an articulated joint of the supporting frame with the base requires increased rigidity of this joint.

Currently, the watch industry is increasing the production of luxury watches with decorative cases, which should provide the ability to quickly change the watch configuration in accordance with the wishes of the consumer. It is also desirable that the consumer himself could change the watch equipment without the use of a specialized tool.

Holes for articulated supports are made in the wall of the housing of the first subcapsule, and each hole is finally made in one pass of the drill or reamer. This produces holes with a cylindrical surface, the alignment of which can easily be achieved, for example, using conductors, which increases the reliability of the watch and simplifies its manufacture. The use of the claimed invention makes it possible to produce watches with a decoratively-designed case, allowing to demonstrate the design of both sides of the capsule that is turned over, which increases the ease of use, since it makes it possible, for example, to track time in two different time zones. Improving the reliability of the proposed watch with a flip capsule with a clockwork mechanism with a decoratively designed case is also achieved by the absence of hinge assemblies for fastening a module with a flip capsule with a clockwork to a decoratively designed watch case. Another technical result is that the main components of the watch assemblies that determine their appearance are stand-alone assemblies that can be manufactured and prepared for assembly separately from each other.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

It should be understood that this description is only to illustrate the implementation of the invention, and in no way limits the scope of the present invention.

The watch contains a decorative case 1, in which a reversible sealed capsule 2 is mounted with a possibility of rotation, inside of which there is a clock mechanism with a dial facing the front side of the sealed capsule.

The decorative watch case 1 has an upper frame 3, which includes a side wall 4 and an upper bezel 5, framing the upper window on the front surface of the watch case, and the lower frame 6 with the lower bezel 7, framing the lower end face of the upper frame 3 of the watch case bottom window on the back of the watch case. The lower frame 6 is equipped with means for fixing it on the upper frame 3, for example, a shaped fastener 8 interacting with an interference fit with the inner surface of the upper frame 3 of the watch case, or any other suitable fixing means. The upper frame 3 of the watch case is equipped with means 9, for example ears, for attaching the watch to a bracelet (not shown).

The watch is equipped with a module 10 mounted inside a decoratively-decorated case 1 and including a supporting outer frame 11, an invertible sealed capsule 12 with a clock mechanism 13, the shape of which is consistent with the opening in the supporting outer frame 11, and a device for protecting the capsule from unauthorized rotation relative to supporting outer frame, for example, at least one spring-loaded ball retainer 14.

The sealed capsule 12 is rotatably fixed inside the external supporting frame 11 and is divided into two subcapsules 15 and 16, interconnected along the surface of the connector. The first subcapsule 15 is provided with a frame case 17 having a height greater than the second subcapsule case 18, a clock mechanism 13 fixed inside the first subcapsule case 17 and having a transfer shaft 19 with a head 20 and a transfer shaft sleeve 21 protruding beyond one of the side the walls of the case 17 of the first subcapsule, and a glass 22 covering the outside of the dial 23 of the specified clockwork. The glass 22 is hermetically fixed in the housing 17. The second subcapsule 16 is provided with a housing 18 in the form of a frame mating with the frame of the housing 17 of the first subcapsule, a plate 24 with a decorative pattern fixed inside the housing 18 of the second subcapsule, and a glass 25 covering the outside of the plate 24 s decorative pattern. The glass 25 is hermetically fixed in the housing 18. The plate 24 can be made both transparent and opaque. Instead of a plate 24 with a decorative pattern, a second clock mechanism, preferably an electronic clock, can be placed in the second subcapsule 16. Thus, in assembled form, the first subcapsule 15 and the second subcapsule 16 are separate blocks, each of which can be separately assembled and tested. The housing 18 of the second subcapsule is connected to the housing 17 of the first subcapsule by means of screws 26. A sealing element 27 is installed between the housings 17 and 18, which ensures the tightness of the connection of the two buildings. The sealed capsule 12 is fixed in the supporting frame using two hinged supports 28 and 29, which makes it possible to rotate the sealed capsule 12 relative to the external supporting frame 11. The housing 17 of the first subcapsule 15, having a large height, is supported on these hinged supports 28 and 29. The pivot bearings 28 and 29 are located on the same axis 30 intersecting the walls of the housing 17, and are located on two diametrically opposite sides of the housing 17 of the first subcapsule 15. As the first pivot bearing 28, a transfer shaft 19 of the clock mechanism 13 and a transfer shaft sleeve 21 mounted in the adjacent wall of the housing 17. The clock mechanism 13 is supplied complete with a transfer shaft 19, a sleeve 21 and a head 20. The transfer shaft 19 is passed through the sleeve 21 and rests on the o-rings located in the sleeve 21. The second hinge support is equipped with ene pin 31 fixed in the hole in the opposite wall of the housing 17 of the first subkapsuly 15. The pin 31 may be cylindrical as shown in the drawings explaining the invention, or any other form - a cone, truncated cone, sphere, etc.

The pin 31 of the hinge support 29 is fixed in the hole in the wall of the supporting outer frame 11. The sleeve 21 of the transfer shaft forming the first hinge support 28 can also be fixed in the hole in the opposite wall of the supporting outer frame, but it is technologically simpler to make the counterpart for mounting the sleeve 21 as a lodgement , and press sleeve 21 against the tool tray with the corresponding pad.

The docking surface of the housing of the first subcapsule facing the second subcapsule, and the mating surface of the housing of the second subcapsule can be made flat, as shown in figure 5 and 6.

However, it is preferable to make the docking surface of the body of the first subcapsule facing the second subcapsule convex with a mask height in the area of the hinged supports 28 and 29, and facing the response docking surface of the second subcapsule concave, as shown in Fig. 8. Accordingly, the plate 24 with a decorative pattern or a second clockwork has a shape that repeats the curved docking surface of the second subcapsule.

The front and back surfaces of the sealed capsule 12 protrude beyond the bearing frame, while the protruding parts of the sealed capsule 12 are located, respectively, in the upper and lower windows of the decorative-shaped housing 1.

The inner surfaces of the walls 32 of the supporting frame 11 intersecting the axis of rotation 30 of the hinge supports of the capsule are made flat. The outer surfaces of the walls 33 of the sealed capsule 12 intersecting the axis of rotation 29 of the hinges of the fastening facing them can be made flat or these surfaces of the walls 33 can be made as surfaces of rotation, for example, cylindrical.

Preferably, the inner surfaces of the walls 34 of the bearing frame 11, which do not intersect the axis of rotation, are made flat, and the outer surfaces of the walls 35 of the sealed capsule 12 facing them are made as surfaces of revolution, with the axis of rotation coinciding with the axis 30 of the hinged supports for fastening the sealed capsule 12 in the carrier frame eleven.

Alternatively, the inner surfaces of the walls 34 of the supporting frame 11 that do not intersect the axis of rotation and the outer surfaces of the walls 35 of the sealed capsule 12 facing them can be made as surfaces of revolution, with the axis of rotation coinciding with the axis 30 of the hinged supports 28 and 29 of the sealed capsule 12 in the carrier frame 11. In this case, it is preferable that said surfaces be cylindrical or spherical.

Preferably, the device for protecting the sealed capsule 12 of the capsule from unauthorized rotation relative to the supporting frame 11 includes spring-loaded clips 14 that can be placed anywhere at the junction of the sealed capsule and the supporting frame, but it is advisable to place them in the most remote area from the hinge supports 28 and 29.

Assembled in the module, the sealed capsule 12 on both sides extends beyond the bearing frame 11 of the module 10. The protruding parts of the front and back surfaces of the sealed capsule are located in the upper and lower windows of the watch case.

The carrier frame 11 is fixed between the upper rim 5 of the upper frame 3, interacting with the upper surface of the carrier frame, and the lower rim 7 of the lower frame 6 of the decorative body, interacting with the lower surface of the carrier frame.

Arched recesses 36 and 37 located opposite each other are made in the walls of the upper 3 and lower 6 frames of the decorative case intersecting the axis of the conversion shaft 19 of the clock mechanism 13. The arched recesses have the same width and are conjugated to each other so that the arches in the upper 3 and the lower 6 frames of the case together form a hole freely covering the sleeve 21 of the translating shaft 19 of the clockwork.

When installing the clock mechanism disconnect the transfer shaft 19 with the head 20 and the sleeve 21 of the transfer shaft from the clock mechanism. After assembling the first subcapsule of the transfer shaft 19, the transfer shaft sleeve 21 is again connected to the clock mechanism 13. The second subcapsule 16 is assembled separately, and then attach it to the first subcapsule 15, forming a sealed capsule 2. The sealed capsule 2 is installed in the supporting outer frame 11 so that the pin 31 enters a blind hole in the wall of the supporting outer frame, and the sleeve 21 of the transfer shaft, for example, rests on a lodgement in the opposite wall of the supporting outer frame 11 and is pressed against the lodgement by a corresponding patch. However, it is possible, using appropriate technological equipment, to repeatedly disconnect the transfer shaft 19 and the sleeve 21 of the transfer shaft and reconnect them to the clockwork after installing the sealed capsule 2 in the supporting external frame.

The watch is put on the hand. In this case, as a rule, the sealed capsule 12 is fixed with ball clips 14 in the position when the protruding front surface of the sealed capsule 12 is located in the upper case window, and the consumer can see the time indicated by the clock mechanism 13. If the consumer wants to show a decorative pattern, or track the time indicated by the second clock mechanism, he removes the watch from his hand and presses on the airtight capsule 12. Under the action of this force, the ball clips 14 and the airtight capsule 12 are turned They are 180 ° relative to axis 29, translating it to the position where the back surface of the sealed capsule 12 with a decorative pattern or dial of the second clock mechanism will be located in the upper window of the watch case. After the sealed capsule 12 is rotated 180 °, it is fixed in the new position by ball clips 14 and the consumer puts the watch on his hand.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The proposed watches can be used highly reliable watch movements produced by leading watch companies. All elements of watches can be made on modern equipment for the production of watches.

The above embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the present invention. The presented principle can be easily applied to other clocks with an invertible capsule. The description of the present invention is illustrative and does not limit the scope of the claims. For qualified professionals, the options and modifications of the invention are obvious, associated with the specific design of the individual elements of the watch, not beyond the scope of the claims.
