AI Technical Summary
Existing elastic retaining devices for watch components, such as those made from brittle materials like silicon, suffer from weak elastic clamping forces due to the quick reaching of the breaking stress limit.
A retaining device with deformable arms having a trapezoidal shape and made of a brittle material, featuring a rigid portion with an inner face and six deformable arms that radially compress to form an elastic compression clamping mechanism, allowing for a high elastic clamping force without exceeding the material's breaking strength.
The solution provides a substantial increase in clamping force, approximately twice that of prior art devices, ensuring optimal holding and retention through elastic compression.
