Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates generally to the field of watchmaking, and more specifically to the field of watch cases. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the watch case is connected to the strap via a spring bar, which is integral with one end of the strap and engages with holes provided in lugs. These lugs are integral with the watch case and are typically used on the case at the bezel, or integrally molded with the case if the case is made of plastic or a material that can be extruded or machined from a block of material. Numerous paired or centrally located lug arrangements exist to allow the strap to attach. For example, document EP0703512 describes a watch case with a bezel that integrates two pairs of lugs located on either side of the bezel.

[0003] The applicant aims to propose a novel concept for a watch case with a flexible outer shell. This concept is the subject of a patent application filed on the same day as this application entitled "Deformable Watch Case," the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The production of such a watch case presents problems regarding the arrangement of the watch strap and its connection to the case. In fact, the outer surface of the latter does not define a fixed baseline and lacks a mechanical structure that allows it to withstand the mechanical stresses (especially tension) that may arise from the watch strap, making it unsuitable to attach the strap to the case itself. Furthermore, applying lugs to the rigid elements of the frame results in the strap's connection point being located away from the periphery of the case. This creates other problems, particularly in terms of ergonomics and comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solution that allows watch straps to be attached to novel watch cases. Furthermore, this solution is also applicable to more traditional watch cases, i.e., those with rigid housings; therefore, it offers a level of comfort and usability not found in existing watch cases.

[0005] Therefore, a first aspect of the present invention relates to a wristwatch, the wristwatch comprising:

[0006] ● The watch case, which includes the bezel, crystal, and baseplate, defines the volume in which the movement is housed.

[0007] ● Watch strap, which is installed through the watch case, partially located inside the volume and movably mounted to slide within the bezel.

[0008] This type of watch is suitable for different wrist types and different ways of wearing the watch, such as by sliding the case along the strap. It also allows for improved comfort by avoiding any contact between the protruding parts of the case and the wearer's wrist. Finally, this type of strap is particularly robust because it does not require attachment elements (such as an external spring bar between the strap and the case).

[0009] The watch strap includes a connecting portion located within the volume. This connecting portion may differ from the main portion of the strap suitable for wrapping around the wrist and may facilitate mounting the watch case to the strap and / or facilitate movement of the watch case relative to the strap. For example, the connecting portion may include an abutment and / or an enlarged or thickened portion relative to the main portion of the strap. The main portion may consist of a single strand or two strands.

[0010] Advantageously, the bezel includes two through slots arranged to allow the strap to slide and located on either side of the case, i.e., on either side of the bezel. These through slots are preferably parallel to each other and / or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strap when laid flat.

[0011] Advantageously, the bezel includes at least one abutting surface surrounding each of the through slots, and the connecting portion includes an overly thick portion and / or an enlarged portion arranged to abut against the abutting surface. This type of embodiment allows for simple restriction of movement of the watch case relative to the strap.

[0012] The watch strap includes a first attachment portion connected to a first end of the strap and a second attachment portion connected to a second end of the strap; the first and second portions are movably mounted relative to the bezel, the first and second attachment portions are located inside the volume, and the connecting portion is attached to the first attachment portion on one side and to the second attachment portion on the other side.

[0013] Preferably, the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion are different from the connecting portion and / or the main part of the watch strap, for example, in shape, size or material.

[0014] Advantageously, the bezel includes at least one abutting surface surrounding each of the through slots, and each of the first and second attachment portions includes or defines an oversized portion, enlargement, and / or protrusion arranged to abut against the abutting surface. The strap may include a main portion, two attachment portions, and a connecting portion consisting of one or more elements (such as one or more arms). This type of implementation allows for simple restriction of movement of the watch case relative to the strap.

[0015] Advantageously, the connecting portion is arranged to allow at least one degree of freedom between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion. Preferably, the connecting portion allows two or three degrees of freedom. Thus, the first attachment portion can move relative to the second attachment portion, which in particular limits the force or friction that can be applied to the protruding bones of the wrist, thereby giving the watch even greater comfort and adaptability.

[0016] Advantageously, each of the first and second attachment portions is movably mounted relative to the bezel in a translational and rotatable manner. This type of watch can be worn comfortably due to its adaptability to any type of wrist shape and its adaptation to wrist movement due to the mobility of the first and second attachment portions. In particular, friction and / or force on the lugs on the wrist or the bones of the wrist can be limited or eliminated.

[0017] Advantageously, the wristwatch according to the invention includes an axis passing through the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion, the first and second attachment portions being arranged to be translationally movable at least along this axis. Preferably, the axis passes through the center of the first and second attachment portions. This axis may be parallel to or coincide with the longitudinal axis of the strap when laid flat. For example, the first and / or second attachment portions may also be translationally movable along another axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

[0018] Advantageously, the connecting portion is an element attached to the watch strap, preferably including at least one flexible and / or elastic arm. This attached connecting portion allows for a wide range of choices suitable for any type of watch case. For example, the connecting portion may include a cable or a portion of a cable and / or a flexible or elastic arm. This type of connecting portion allows for greater freedom of movement of the first and second attaching portions relative to the bezel, thereby accommodating different wrist shapes.

[0019] Alternatively, the connecting portion can be formed as a single piece with the strap, making the strap simpler and more robust. For example, the connecting portion can be manufactured together with the strap by molding or overlay injection molding. Finally, the connecting portion of the strap may include one, two, or more elements having the same or different shapes.

[0020] Advantageously, the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion are elements attached to the watch strap. A connecting portion is then arranged to engage or connect the first attachment portion to the second attachment portion. Therefore, this embodiment allows for considerable flexibility in the selection of the watch strap, particularly its material. The connecting portion, consisting of the two elements (the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion), can form an eyelet defining an opening.

[0021] Alternatively, the watch strap, the first attachment portion, the second attachment portion, and the connecting portion are formed as a single piece. The first attachment portion, the second attachment portion, and the connecting portion, which consists of two elements formed as a single piece, may form a perforation defining an opening, which is preferably arranged to overlap the movement. Furthermore, the perforation may define an enlarged portion arranged to adjoin an adjacent surface.

[0022] Advantageously, the bezel is deformable or flexible. Therefore, not only can the assembly formed by the first and second attachment portions and the connecting portion move relative to the bezel, but the bezel itself can deform to provide maximum comfort and adaptability for its wearer. As mentioned above, a system for attaching a strap not attached to the case does not restrict or slightly restricts the deformation of the case. Attachment of the strap to the bezel or case actually adversely affects the flexibility of the latter's deformation.

[0023] Advantageously, the watch case includes a container arranged to house the watch movement, with the connecting portion disposed between the container and the baseplate. It should be noted that the volume defined by the bezel, crystal, and baseplate is particularly suitable for accommodating the connecting portion and the movement without interference.

[0024] Advantageously, the container is arranged to be at least partially supported by the connecting part, which can further increase the comfort and visibility of the watch.

[0025] Another unclaimed aspect of the invention relates to a wristwatch comprising:

[0026] ● The watch case, which includes a bezel, crystal, and baseplate, defines the volume within which the movement is housed.

[0027] ● Watch strap, which is installed through the watch case, partially located inside the volume and movably mounted to slide within the bezel.

[0028] Furthermore, this type of wristwatch may include one or more additional features previously described with reference to the first aspect of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Other features and advantages of the invention will become clearer from the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention given by way of example. These examples are by no means limiting and are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0034] Figure 5 A three-quarter sectional view along the front plane is shown for a wristwatch according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] Figure 6 It shows according to Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of the wristwatch along the sagittal plane in the fifth embodiment.

[0036] Figure 7 A cross-sectional view of the outline of a wristwatch according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0037] As described above, while particularly suitable for watch cases with flexible housings, the invention is also applicable to rigid watch cases. As will be understood below, it allows for the containment of any type of mechanical, electromechanical, or fully electronic movement via a container; however, depending on the sealing standards that must be met, mounting via a case ring may also be considered.

[0038] According to one aspect of the invention, the watch strap is movable and / or sliding relative to the watch case and includes a connecting portion extending through the watch case and a main portion arranged to surround the wrist. According to another aspect of the invention, the attachment portions of the watch strap may be movable and / or attached via the connecting portion, thereby maintaining their mobility at least relative to the bezel of the watch case and / or one relative to the other.

[0039] Figure 1 A first embodiment of the watch case 1 is shown, the watch case being provided with a strap 30 passing through the watch case 1 and including an attachment portion connected by a connecting portion and movably mounted relative to the bezel and the watch case.

[0040] The watch case 1 is shown in cross-section to reveal its interior. The watch case 1 (both watch case 1 and case 1 are referred to as watch case 1) includes a bezel 2 enclosed by the watch crystal and a base plate. Figure 1 The crystal is not shown in the figure. The crystal and the substrate are usually mounted on opposite surfaces of the watch case 1, with the crystal mounted on the top surface of the watch case 1 and the substrate mounted on the bottom surface of the watch case 1.

[0041] Including at least one first lug and, for example Figure 1The first attachment portions 10 of the two first lugs 11 are located within the volume defined by the bezel 2, the watch crystal, and the substrate. Furthermore, the second attachment portion 20 is also located within the volume and includes at least one second lug and, for example, two second lugs 21.

[0042] Each attachment portion 10, 20 is arranged to allow attachment of one end of the watch strap 30. For example, as those skilled in the art know, a pin may be inserted into each end of the watch strap and engaged in a first lug or a second lug. Alternatively, any other type of system for attaching the watch strap 30 to the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20 may be contemplated. The bezel 2 may include through slots opposite each other, arranged to allow the end of the watch strap 30 to be introduced into the interior of the bezel 2, i.e., into the volume.

[0043] The first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20 are movably mounted within this volume, meaning they are movable relative to the bezel 2 along at least one degree of freedom. For example, the strap is defined to pass through the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion or through the first lug and the second lug (along...). Figure 1 The axis A of the axis y in the middle, and the first attachment portion 10 and / or the second attachment portion 20 can move at least along the axis A, for example, by translation.

[0044] Preferably, the attachment portions 10, 20 may have other degrees of freedom relative to the bezel 2, such as displacement in height (along...). Figure 1 (along the axis z) and / or laterally (along the axis z) Figure 1 The displacement of the axis x). In addition, the attachment parts 10 and 20 can rotate relative to the case 1 and relative to each other around the pivot point B.

[0045] The first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20 are connected by an attachment portion, and preferably, by including Figure 1 In the implementation scheme, the connection portions of the two elements are connected to each other. Figure 1 The connecting portion 40 includes two flexible arms, such as cable or chain sections. The connecting portion 40, the first attachment portion 10, and the second attachment portion define an opening 35 that can accommodate the watch movement (not shown).

[0046] The components of the connecting parts are made of any suitable material, such as titanium, especially grade 5 titanium, which is able to limit the stretching of the components when tension is applied to the strap 30 so as not to damage the case 1 and the bezel 2, especially when the outer casing of the case is flexible.

[0047] Alternatively or in combination, the elements of the connecting portion may be elastic, i.e., they may be made of an elastic material or include elastic portions similar to springs (not shown). The elements of the connecting portion 40 may be permanently or removably attached to each of the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20, for example, via rings or anchors in the bodies of the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20.

[0048] Because of the connecting portion 40 of the watch strap 30, the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20 are hinged to each other, that is, they are connected to each other with at least one degree of freedom. Therefore, the first attachment portion 10 can move relative to the second attachment portion 20, but this movement will be limited by the characteristics of the connecting portion 40 (e.g., its length, flexibility, or elasticity).

[0049] Therefore, the unfolding, pivoting, or height offset (along the first and second attachment portions) Figure 1 Movement of the axis z) is permitted, but the length of the connected portion 40 is limited to, for example, a few millimeters to 1 centimeter.

[0050] The movement of the first and second attachment portions can also be restricted by adjacent portions. For example, if the bezel 2 is sufficiently rigid, its inner surface may include adjacent portions arranged to restrict the movement of the first attachment portion 10 and / or the second attachment portion 20 toward the outside of the bezel 2. The adjacent portions may be located near or around the through-slot of the strap (not shown).

[0051] Figure 2 Another embodiment of the invention is shown, which is consistent with the one according to... Figure 1 The first embodiment is the same, except that the connecting portion 40 includes a single cable or flexible arm that is slidably mounted at each of the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20. Therefore, the relative movement of the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20 can be easily restricted, for example, to the length of the connecting portion 40, while still allowing several degrees of freedom of movement. Furthermore, the connecting portion 40 surrounds or encircles the opening 35.

[0052] Optionally, the connecting portion 40 can be attached to the bezel or base plate via one or more anchors 50, the connecting portion 40 being slidably mounted on the anchors. Alternatively or in combination, the anchors can be in the form of a winder (not shown), allowing the length of the connecting portion 40 to increase when a load on the strap causes the first attachment portion 10 and / or the second attachment portion 20 to move outward toward the bezel 2. The winder may include a return device that allows the length of the connecting portion 40 to decrease when the load stops. This type of connecting portion can be used with straps in a single-loop form (i.e., having a single strand).

[0053] Figure 3 A third embodiment, identical to the two embodiments described above, is shown, except that the connecting portion 40 here is a rigid arm. For example, the connecting portion 40 may be formed from a single rigid segment, which can be attached to the first and second attachment portions via a mechanical connection of the type of pivot or ball joint. Figure 3 In the diagram, the connecting portion 40 is shown as having two rigid segments 41 and 42, which have different lengths and are connected by a pivot or ball joint 43. Alternatively, these rigid segments may have the same length, and / or more than two segments may be considered, such as three or more rigid segments.

[0054] Furthermore, the rigid arm can be telescopic, i.e., made of two segments, one sliding inside the other, or can comprise two segments hinged to each other, wherein at least one segment and preferably both segments are telescopic. The rigid arm or segment of the connecting portion can have a flat cross-section, preferably with a small thickness, in order to reduce the volume within the bezel 2.

[0055] Figure 4 A fourth embodiment of the case 1 according to the present invention and a cross-sectional view of the wristwatch 100 at an elevation angle are shown.

[0056] The wristwatch 100 includes a case 1 according to a first embodiment, the case including a bezel 2, a crystal 3, a baseplate 4, and a container 60 for housing the watch movement. The fourth embodiment is applicable to cases including flexible housings, as previously described. The bezel 2 includes or is made of a flexible (deformable) outer wall 2A. Therefore, the strap can conform to the shape of the user's wrist to maximize comfort.

[0057] For example, wall 2A can be made of a network of hinged elements, such as a knitted fabric (preferably metallic) or a set of mesh openings, the more or less densely interwoven openings forming a grid, lattice, or mesh. Alternatively, wall 2A can be made of a flexible material such as an elastomer. Preferably, the substrate can remain rigid.

[0058] By adapting the attachment portions 10, 20 to all wrist shapes and by allowing the original case and bezel shapes to be shaped, the flexible wall 2A helps to enhance the comfort and adaptability provided by the attachment portions (e.g., according to...). Figure 1 The first implementation scheme) is connected via the connecting part 40.

[0059] The watch 100 may include a strap 30 attached to the case 2 via attachment portions 10, 20 and introduced into the case 1 via a slot 2B. The strap 30 may be made of leather or any other suitable material and may include an opening for a clasp or folding clasp. In one embodiment, the strap may be made of a network of hinged elements similar to wall 2A. Alternatively or in combination, the strap may be made of a single strand of elastic material and may not include an opening.

[0060] It should be noted that the watch 100 and the watch strap 30 are applicable to all embodiments of the watch case 1 described in this specification.

[0061] Furthermore, the components of the connecting portion 40 are positioned between the container 60 and the substrate 4, but the container 60 may be at least partially supported by the connecting portion. For example, the outer surface of the container 60 or the structure supporting the container 60 may be arranged to abut against the connecting portion 40.

[0062] The container 60 may include the anchor 50 described earlier, or the connecting portion may be slidably introduced into the structure supporting the container 60, for example. The support of the connecting portion 40 to the container 60 allows the container 60 to move according to the movement of the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20 (i.e., according to the movement of the wrist).

[0063] Figure 5 and Figure 6 A top-view sectional view of a fifth embodiment of the watch 100 according to the present invention is shown. In this fifth embodiment, the watch case 2 is equivalent to or similar to the watch case 1 of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0064] In this fifth embodiment, the watch strap 30 is formed as a single unit, meaning that the first attachment portion 10, the second attachment portion 20, and the connecting portion 40 consisting of two arms are formed from a single element, i.e., integrally formed with the watch strap 30. The watch strap 30 then defines a main portion 31 suitable for wrapping around the wearer's wrist and is typically made of a flexible material, leather, rubber, or another polymer. Therefore, the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20 are enlargements of the watch strap 30 relative to the main portion 31.

[0065] The watch strap 30 is movably mounted relative to the watch case 1 and passes through the interior of the latter. Therefore, the watch strap 30 includes eyelets defined by a first attachment portion 10, a second attachment portion 20, and a connecting portion 40, defining an opening 35. This opening 35 preferably substantially overlaps the movement 60 to provide a passage and / or release space, thereby allowing the positioning of a rigid or resilient support (not shown) between the base plate 4 and the movement 60.

[0066] Therefore, the watch strap 30 can be made into a single piece, for example, by weaving, cutting, stamping, or molding; that is, the watch strap can be formed as a single element. Different materials can be used by overlay injection molding, especially for connecting and / or attaching parts.

[0067] As previously stated (see Figure 6 The watch strap 30 can be introduced through the watch case via a through slot 2B provided in the bezel 2. Therefore, the inner wall portion of the bezel 2 surrounding the through slot 2B can define an abutment portion for the eyelets formed by the watch strap 30, specifically for the first attachment portion 10 and the second attachment portion 20, which are larger than the main portion 31. These abutments then allow for restriction of relative movement between the watch strap 30 and the watch case 1.

[0068] In other words, there is a certain gap between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion 20 and the corresponding portions of the bezel facing them, so as to allow relative movement of the case 1 relative to the strap 30, such as translational movement.

[0069] Other components located inside the case may also serve as adjacent parts, particularly the connecting portion 40 or the container 60. Alternatively or in combination, one or more anchors ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 (Not shown) It can also limit the relative movement of the case 2 relative to the strap 30, for example by interfering with the edges of the opening 35, the first attachment portion 10, the second attachment portion 20 and / or the connecting portion 40.

[0070] Figure 7 A contour cross-sectional view of a sixth embodiment of a watch 100 according to the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, a strap 30 is mounted through the watch case 1 and passes through the watch case 1 via a slot not shown. Thus, the strap 30 comprises a single main portion surrounding the wrist and does not include attachment or connecting portions. The strap 30 may be arranged within the internal volume of the watch case 1, between the movement 60 and the base plate 4.

[0071] Therefore, the watch strap 30 according to the sixth embodiment can be simplified relative to other embodiments and may not include connecting portions and / or attachment portions. The watch case 1 can be translated relative to the watch strap 30 and / or can slide freely along the watch strap 30. Alternatively, the watch strap may include a connecting portion (not shown) located in the watch case and defining an adjacent portion, an enlarged portion, or an excessively thick portion to restrict the movement of the watch case 1 along the watch strap 30.

[0072] Alternatively or in combination, the connection portion may include a hole (not shown) that receives a finger attached to the base plate 4, bezel 2, or movement 60, the finger abutting the end of the hole to restrict movement of the strap 30. Alternatively or in combination, the strap may include an adjacent portion outside the watch case.

[0073] It should be understood that various modifications and / or improvements that are obvious to those skilled in the art can be applied to different embodiments of the invention described in this specification.

[0074] In particular, the above embodiments can be combined in whole or in part. For example, the connecting portion can combine the cable with the rigid arm. The connecting portion may include one, two, three, four or more elements of different lengths and / or different shapes, which are attached elements or individual parts that allow different movements of the attached portion.

[0075] The present invention is not limited to the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion located inside the bezel 2, but may also include the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion located wholly or partially outside the bezel 2.

[0076] The first and second attachment portions are not limited to two lugs, but may each include a single lug, three lugs, four lugs, or even more lugs. Finally, the bezel 2 can be any type of shape, such as ellipse, square, rectangle, circle, and triangle, with straight or rounded edges and acute or curved angles.
