Abstract
Translated fromFrenchDescription
Translated fromFrenchL'invention relève du domaine de l'horlogerie et notamment des boites de montres. L'invention concerne en particulier un dispositif de verrouillage d'un poussoir d'une boite de montre.The invention relates to the field of watchmaking and in particular to watch cases. The invention relates in particular to a device for locking a pusher of a watch case.
Les montres comprenant un mouvement horloger pourvu de certaines complications présentent une boite dotée d'au moins un poussoir ayant pour objectif de sélectionner, d'activer ou de corriger une fonction dudit mouvement horloger.Watches comprising a watch movement with certain complications have a case equipped with at least one pusher intended to select, activate or correct a function of said watch movement.
Les poussoirs les plus couramment rencontrés sont sous la forme de boutons s'étendant à l'extérieur de la carrure. Ces poussoirs sont avantageusement faciles et rapides d'accès lorsque la montre est portée. Néanmoins, leur proéminence peut conduire à des actionnements involontaires.The most commonly encountered pushers are in the form of buttons extending outside the caseband. These pushers are advantageously easy and quick to access when the watch is worn. However, their prominence can lead to inadvertent actuation.
Afin de résoudre cette problématique, certains poussoirs prennent la forme de correcteurs affleurant la surface de la carrure de la montre. Ces poussoirs nécessitent d'être sollicités par la pointe d'un outil dédié afin d'éviter tout actionnement accidentel. Toujours dans ce même objectif, certains poussoirs sont agencés dans des endroits de la boite de montre relativement difficiles d'accès et nécessitent de retirer la montre de l'utilisateur pour être actionnés. L'utilisation de ces poussoirs peut donc se révéler particulièrement fastidieuse.To solve this problem, some pushers take the form of correctors that are flush with the surface of the watch case. These pushers need to be activated by the tip of a dedicated tool to prevent accidental activation. With this same objective in mind, some pushers are located in areas of the watch case that are relatively difficult to access and require the user to remove the watch to activate them. Using these pushers can therefore be particularly tedious.
On comprend qu'un compromis doit être trouvé entre la facilité d'utilisation d'un poussoir lorsque la montre est portée et la sécurisation de son actionnement.It is understood that a compromise must be found between the ease of use of a pusher when the watch is worn and the security of its actuation.
La présente invention vise à résoudre cette problématique.The present invention aims to solve this problem.
L'invention concerne, à cet effet, un dispositif de verrouillage d'un poussoir dans une position de repos, comprenant un poussoir destiné à être engagé de manière mobile en coulissement dans une carrure entre une position active et une position de repos, et un organe de commande coopérant avec un élément de blocage de sorte que, lorsque l'organe de commande occupe une position de verrouillage, l'élément de blocage provoque l'immobilisation du poussoir dans la position de repos, et lorsque l'organe de commande occupe une position de libération, l'élément de blocage autorise le déplacement du poussoir depuis sa position de repos.The invention relates, for this purpose, to a device for locking a pusher in a rest position, comprising a pusher intended to be engaged in a sliding manner in a case between an active position and a rest position, and a control member cooperating with a blocking element so that, when the control member occupies a locking position, the blocking element causes the pusher to be immobilized in the rest position, and when the control member occupies a release position, the blocking element allows the pusher to move from its rest position.
La présente invention permet ainsi de faciliter le verrouillage et le déverrouillage d'un poussoir, tout en pouvant être appliquée à des poussoirs simples et rapides d'utilisation lorsque la montre est portée et ne requérant aucun outil pour être sollicités.The present invention thus makes it easier to lock and unlock a pusher, while being able to be applied to pushers that are simple and quick to use when the watch is worn and do not require any tools to be activated.
En outre, le dispositif met en oeuvre très peu de composants de sorte qu'il est très simple à réaliser.In addition, the device uses very few components so it is very simple to make.
Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'invention peut comporter en outre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises isolément ou selon toutes les combinaisons techniquement possibles.In particular embodiments, the invention may further comprise one or more of the following features, taken individually or in any technically possible combination.
Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, lorsque l'organe de commande occupe la position de libération, l'élément de blocage est maintenu contre l'organe de commande sous l'effet d'une force de rappel élastique.In particular embodiments, when the control member occupies the release position, the locking element is held against the control member under the effect of an elastic restoring force.
Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, le poussoir comporte une excroissance destinée à s'engager, lorsque le poussoir occupe la position active, dans une cavité de forme complémentaire s'étendant dans la carrure, l'organe de commande contraignant l'élément de blocage à obturer cette cavité lorsqu'il occupe la position de verrouillage, cette dernière étant dégagée lorsqu'il occupe la position de libération.In particular embodiments, the pusher comprises a protrusion intended to engage, when the pusher occupies the active position, in a cavity of complementary shape extending in the caseband, the control member forcing the blocking element to close. this cavity when it occupies the locking position, the latter being released when it occupies the release position.
Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'élément de blocage est formé par une lame élastique s'étendant entre deux extrémités dont une première est agencée contre l'organe de commande et dont une seconde est destinée à libérer ou obturer la cavité selon la position de l'organe de commande.In particular embodiments, the blocking element is formed by an elastic blade extending between two ends, a first of which is arranged against the control member and a second of which is intended to release or close the cavity depending on the position of the control member.
Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'élément de blocage est configuré de sorte que lorsque l'organe de commande est déplacé vers la position de verrouillage, il applique, sur la première extrémité de l'élément de blocage, une force provoquant sa déformation de telle manière que la seconde extrémité dudit élément de blocage est déplacée en translation selon un premier sens, et est configuré de sorte que, lorsque l'organe de commande est déplacé vers la position de libération, l'élément de blocage se déforme sous l'effet de la force de rappel élastique, de telle manière que sa seconde extrémité est déplacée en translation selon un second sens opposé au premier sens.In particular embodiments, the locking element is configured so that when the control member is moved towards the locking position, it applies, to the first end of the locking element, a force causing it to deform in such a way that the second end of said locking element is moved in translation in a first direction, and is configured so that, when the control member is moved towards the release position, the locking element deforms under the effect of the elastic return force, in such a way that its second end is moved in translation in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation, l'organe de commande est formé par une couronne fixée à une extrémité libre d'une tige de remontoir et comportant une jupe contre laquelle repose en appui l'élément de blocage.In particular embodiments, the control member is formed by a crown fixed to a free end of a winding stem and comprising a skirt against which the locking element rests.
Selon un autre objet, la présente invention concerne une boite de montre comprenant une carrure, une glace et un fond définissant un volume interne destiné à recevoir un mouvement horloger, la boite comprenant en outre un dispositif de verrouillage tel que décrit précédemment, la carrure étant configurée pour guider l'élément de blocage en déplacement, ce dernier étant agencé à l'extérieur de volume interne.According to another object, the present invention relates to a watch case comprising a caseband, a crystal and a back defining an internal volume intended to receive a watch movement, the case further comprising a locking device as described previously, the caseband being configured to guide the blocking element in movement, the latter being arranged outside the internal volume.

On note que les figures ne sont pas nécessairement dessinées à l'échelle pour des raisons de clarté.Note that the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale for clarity.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage 10 d'un poussoir d'une boite de montre dans une position de repos et une boite de montre 20 comportant ledit dispositif de verrouillage 10.The present invention relates to a
La boite de montre 20 définie un volume interne 22 dans lequel elle est destinée à loger un mouvement horloger, de façon connue de l'homme du métier. En particulier, le volume interne 22 est défini notamment par une carrure 21, une glace et un fond de la boite de montre 20.The
Le dispositif de verrouillage 10 selon l'invention comprend un poussoir 100 destiné à être engagé de manière mobile en coulissement dans une carrure 21 de la boite de montre 20, selon une direction orientée vers le volume interne 22 de la boite. Le poussoir 100 est destiné à être sollicité par un utilisateur pour occuper une position active, tel que visible sur la
Le dispositif de verrouillage 10 comporte en outre un organe de commande 110 destiné à être engagé dans la carrure 21, de manière mobile en rotation et/ou en rotation, entre une position de verrouillage et une position de libération.The
En particulier, le dispositif de verrouillage 10 comporte un élément de blocage 120 agencé de sorte à coopérer avec l'organe de commande 110 de sorte que, lorsque l'organe de commande 110 occupe la position de libération, l'élément de blocage 120 autorise le déplacement du poussoir 100 depuis sa position de repos, tel que visible sur la
Dans un exemple préféré de réalisation, le poussoir 100 comporte une excroissance 101, par exemple sous la forme d'un téton, destinée à s'engager dans une cavité 210 de forme complémentaire s'étendant dans la carrure 21, lorsque le poussoir 100 occupe la position active, tel que le montre la
Avantageusement, lorsque l'organe de commande 110 occupe la position de libération, l'élément de blocage 120 est maintenu, sous l'effet d'une force de rappel élastique, contre ledit organe de commande 110. En conséquence, lors de son déplacement vers la position de verrouillage, l'organe de commande 110 contraint l'élément de blocage 120 à se déformer à l'encontre de la force de rappel élastique.Advantageously, when the
Préférentiellement, l'élément de blocage 120 est formé par une lame élastique s'étendant entre deux extrémités dont une première 121 est agencée contre l'organe de commande 110 et dont une seconde 122 est destinée à libérer ou obturer la cavité 210.Preferably, the blocking
Plus précisément, l'élément de blocage 120 est configuré de sorte que lorsque l'organe de commande 110 est déplacé vers la position de verrouillage, il applique, sur la première extrémité 121 de l'élément de blocage 120, une force provoquant sa déformation de telle manière que la seconde extrémité 122 dudit élément de blocage 120 est déplacée dans un mouvement de translation selon un premier sens de sorte qu'elle obture la cavité 210. De façon complémentaire, l'élément de blocage 120 est configuré de sorte que, lorsque l'organe de commande 110 est déplacé vers la position de libération, l'élément de blocage 120 se déforme sous l'effet de la force de rappel élastique, de telle manière que sa seconde extrémité 122 est déplacée dans un mouvement de translation selon un second sens opposé au premier sens, de sorte qu'elle libère la cavité 210, c'est-à-dire qu'elle n'est plus en regard de la cavité 210.More specifically, the
Préférentiellement, l'organe de commande 110 est formé par une couronne fixée à une extrémité libre d'une tige de remontoir. La couronne comporte une jupe 111 contre laquelle repose en appui la première extrémité 121 de l'élément de blocage 120. Ainsi, que la couronne soit déplacée selon une trajectoire hélicoïdale ou rectiligne, respectivement si la couronne est vissée/dévissée ou si la couronne est tirée/poussée, l'élément de blocage 120 sera sollicité de façon analogue. En particulier, dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation l'invention, lorsque l'organe de commande occupe la position de verrouillage, il est plus proche de la carrure que lorsqu'il occupe la position de libération, comme l'illustrent les
Avantageusement, l'élément de blocage 120 est guidé en déplacement par la carrure 21 et est agencé à l'extérieur de volume interne 22, comme visible sur les
Il y a lieu de noter que, dans la présente invention, aucune liaison cinématique n'existe entre le poussoir 100 et l'organe de commande 110. Cette disposition permet de simplifier au maximum le dispositif de verrouillage 10.It should be noted that, in the present invention, no kinematic connection exists between the
Par ailleurs, le fait que l'élément de blocage 120 est agencé à l'extérieur de volume interne 22 permet de pouvoir adapter l'invention avec tout mouvement horloger existant sans nécessiter de modifications de ce dernier.Furthermore, the fact that the blocking
De manière plus générale, il est à noter que les modes de mise en oeuvre et de réalisation considérés ci-dessus ont été décrits à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, et que d'autres variantes sont par conséquent envisageables.More generally, it should be noted that the methods of implementation and embodiment considered above have been described as non-limiting examples, and that other variants are consequently conceivable.
Par exemple, l'invention peut comporter plusieurs poussoirs et autant d'éléments de blocage, chacun de ces derniers étant apte à immobiliser un poussoir dans sa position de repos. En particulier, l'invention peut comporter deux poussoirs disposés respectivement de part et d'autre de la couronne, les éléments de blocage étant agencés pour travailler symétriquement et verrouiller simultanément les poussoirs.For example, the invention may comprise several pushers and as many locking elements, each of the latter being capable of immobilizing a pusher in its rest position. In particular, the invention may comprise two pushers arranged respectively on either side of the crown, the locking elements being arranged to work symmetrically and simultaneously lock the pushers.
