Description

Technical field of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to a multi-function correction device for a watch part allowing, for example, the selection and / or modification of information displayed on a dial by means of a single control element.

[0002] The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a multi-function correction device allowing, for example, the selection and / or modification of information displayed on a dial, for example, to correct, engage, or reset several functions derived from the current time. Technological background

[0003] A timepiece, particularly a wristwatch, allows the user to know the current time. This current time can be corrected by applying an action (for example, pulling) to the winding stem until a specific position is reached for this correction action.

[0004] The wristwatch can also allow the display, correction, activation, and resetting of functions derived from the current time, generally called complications, such as a date, a time zone, etc., as disclosed in patent US8371745B2 or application EP2469358A2.

[0005] To achieve this, it is necessary to incorporate corrective devices at the level of the case of the wristwatch to allow these ancillary functions to be controlled and / or corrected.

[0006] These corrective devices can be of the type: push buttons or correctors.

[0007] Pushbuttons generally include a push-type control element positioned outside the watch case and easily accessible by the user, the pushbuttons allowing the user to control and / or correct auxiliary functions without the use of a tool.

[0008] Corrector buttons are typically miniature push-buttons recessed into the case of the wristwatch and operated by a small, usually pointed tool, instead of a protruding pusher easily accessible and manipulated by the user. These corrective buttons are generally used for quick function adjustments.

[0009] Some timepieces, and in particular watches, with multiple complications, offer their users a high number of functions requiring the multiplication of these corrective devices on the case.

[0010] However, the proliferation of corrective devices at the case level poses implementation problems and can cause aesthetic issues, particularly for mid-range and high-end timepieces, where a sober and elegant aesthetic is sought.

[0011] The multiplication of correction devices at the case level also creates sealing problems due to the multiplication of openings in the watch case that need to be made for the integration and assembly of the different means of correction. Summary of the invention

[0012] In this context, the invention aims to provide a solution to the disadvantages of the prior art specified above, by proposing a multifunctional correction device allowing the selection, activation and / or modification of at least two different functions, with the same correction device requiring only a single opening in the watch case for its mounting.

[0013] For this purpose, the invention relates to a multifunctional correction device for the case of a watch part as defined by the attached claim 1.

[0014] Thanks to the invention, the user can easily select at least one function corrector of said watch movement that he wishes to activate, and operate it when pressure is exerted on the pusher.

[0015] Thus, the multifunctional correction device according to the invention minimizes the number of openings required in the watch case. Consequently, issues of water resistance, placement, and aesthetics are eliminated by reducing the number of correction devices to be installed in the case.

[0016] It should be noted that the multi-function correcting device according to the invention is a different type of correcting device from a setting crown linked to the winding stem, which allows for time setting and, optionally, winding the mainspring barrel. Thus, the multi-function correcting device according to the invention is not connected to a winding stem for winding a mainspring barrel and does not allow for setting the current time of the movement.

[0017] According to the invention, a correction device is understood to mean either a push button which typically has a protruding push control element located outside the case of the timepiece, or a corrector button which typically has a corrector control element integrated into the thickness of the case and accessible by the user via the outside of the case, for example via a tool.

[0018] In addition to the characteristics mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the multifunctional correction device according to the invention may have the following characteristics: for one of the angular positions of the control member, the protrusion of the end of the control rod is able to be positioned with respect to a plurality of function correctors that comprise the clockwork movement, so that the correction device is able to simultaneously perform a combination of functions associated with the function correctors when pressure is exerted on the control member; for one of the angular positions of the control member, the protrusion of the end of the control rod is inactive with respect to the clockwork movement when pressure is exerted on the control member;The clockwork mechanism comprises a first function corrector and a second function corrector; in a first angular position of the control member, the protrusion at the end of the control rod is able to be positioned opposite the first function corrector, and in a second angular position of the control member, the protrusion at the end of the control rod is able to be positioned opposite the second function corrector; pressure exerted on the control member brings the protrusion at said end of the control rod into contact with the selected function corrector in order to activate, select, reset, or correct the function of the associated clockwork mechanism; The cylindrical body has the shape of a cylinder of revolution with axis of revolution XX; the control rod is coaxial with the cylindrical body; said multifunction correction device is a push button configured to be partially housed in a casing of said box, the control element being a push button; said multifunction correction device is a miniature correction button configured to be fully integrated into the thickness of a casing of said box; the control element has a recess configured to receive a tool having a shape complementary to the recess; the multifunction correction device has a return element provided between the cylindrical body and the control element to ensure the return of the control element to a rest position; the protrusion of said end of the control rod projects from a plane perpendicular to the axis of revolution XX;The protrusion at the end of the control rod is a crescent-shaped tenon; the device includes an indexing member for indexing said plurality of angular positions of the control member; the indexing member is formed by an indexer comprising an indexing ball housed in an indexing cage carried by the control member; said indexer cooperates with recesses provided on the cylindrical body.

[0019] The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising a multifunctional correction device according to the invention.

[0020] Advantageously, the timepiece comprises a case containing a timepiece movement having at least a first function corrector and a second function corrector, each function corrector allowing in particular to display, correct, select, engage, or reset a function derived from the current time; said case having a case body having a housing in which is mounted a multifunction correction device according to the invention, the multifunction correction device having a plurality of angular positions to interact with the first function corrector and / or the second function corrector of the timepiece movement.

[0021] Advantageously, the watch movement includes a first function corrector and a second function corrector.

[0022] Advantageously, the first function corrector and the second function corrector are formed by superimposed pivoting flip-flops.

[0023] Advantageously, the timepiece is a wristwatch.

[0024] Advantageously, the movement of the timepiece is a mechanical movement. Brief description of the figures

[0025] The aims, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description below, which refers to the following figures: there figure 1 represents a top view of a first example of an embodiment of a multifunctional correction device according to the invention mounted in a watch case; the figure 2 represents a sagittal cross-sectional view, along axis AA illustrated in the figure 1 , of the first example of an embodiment of the multifunctional correction device according to the invention; the figure 3represents a sagittal cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the multifunctional correction device according to the invention; the figure 4 represents a third example of the realization of a multifunctional correction device according to the invention.

[0026] In all figures, common elements bear the same reference numbers unless otherwise specified. Detailed description of the invention

[0027] In general and common to the different embodiments that will be described later, the multi-function correction device according to the invention allows selection and / or activation of at least one function corrector included in a watch movement to perform directly or indirectly different activation, selection, resetting and / or correction functions of information derived from the current time, by means of a single control element accessible by the user from outside the case.

[0028] The control unit thus forms a user interface to control various functions associated with information derived from the current time contained in a clockwork movement housed in a case.

[0029] There figure 1This illustrates, in a top view, a first example of the realization of a multifunctional correction device 100 according to the invention, mounted in a case 20 of a watch case 2. With reference to the figure 1 The 20 frame is shown in transparency so that the 100 multi-function correction device can be viewed as a whole.

[0030] Case 2 of a watch part, for example, is a wristwatch case.

[0031] The case 2 has a case 20 having an outer face 24 and an inner face 23. The inner face 23 of the case 20 delimits an internal space intended to receive a clock movement 1 (not shown in its entirety).

[0032] The clock movement 1 carries and drives means for displaying the current time and includes, in particular, at least one complication for displaying at least one piece of information derived from the current time. To this end, the clock movement 1 includes a plurality of function correctors 10, 12, enabling the direct or indirect performance of various functions for activating, selecting, resetting, and / or correcting information derived from the current time.

[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, the clockwork mechanism 1 includes a first function corrector 10 and a second function corrector 12, enabling the display, correction, selection, activation, or reset of at least one function derived from the current time. However, this representation is not exhaustive.

[0034] As an example, watch movement 1 may include a complication such as date, time zone, chronograph, etc.

[0035] The function correctors 10, 12 are, for example, superimposed flip-flops mounted to pivot around a pivot axis 11, as illustrated in particular in the figure 1 However, other types of function correctors are being considered.

[0036] There figure 2 represents a sagittal cross-sectional view, along axis AA illustrated in the figure 1 , of the first example of the realization of the multifunctional correction device 100 according to the invention.

[0037] In this first example of implementation, illustrated with reference to figures 1 to 2 The multifunction correction device 100 is of the multifunction push button type.

[0038] The multi-function correction device 100 includes a cylindrical body 110 configured to be attached to the box 2, and more particularly to be mounted in the frame 20. The cylindrical body 110 extends along a longitudinal axis XX and can have a circular or polygonal external section.

[0039] In the example of implementation illustrated in figures 1 to 2 , the cylindrical body 110 is a cylinder of revolution with its axis of revolution coinciding with the longitudinal axis XX.

[0040] The cylindrical body 110 comprises a tubular part 111 and a head 112, the head 112 forming a first end of the cylindrical body 110.

[0041] The tubular part 111 may have a threaded portion for its assembly to the case 20 of box 2. For this purpose, the case 20 has a through housing 21 having a threaded portion for mounting the multi-function correction device 100 according to the invention, by screwing.

[0042] According to one alternative embodiment, the tubular part 111 can be driven directly into the housing of the case 20.

[0043] The head 112 is the part of the cylindrical body 110 remaining on the outside side of the case 20, that is to say on the opposite side to the clock movement 1.

[0044] The head 112 has a diameter greater than the diameter of the tubular part 111, so that a shoulder 113 separates the head 112 from the tubular part 111. The shoulder 113 thus forms a bearing surface, here circular, or stop, intended to come into contact with the outer face 24 of the case 20 of the box 2 during the mounting of the multifunction correction device 100.

[0045] The multi-function correction device 100 also includes a circular cylindrical control rod 120 with axis of revolution XX.

[0046] The control rod 120 is configured to slide inside the cylindrical body 110 along the axis XX; and more particularly in an internal bore through the cylindrical body 110 provided to receive the control rod 120.

[0047] The control rod 120 is coaxial with the cylindrical body 110.

[0048] The control rod 120 is also mobile in rotation around the axis of revolution XX inside the cylindrical body 110. The control rod 120 is integral with a control member 130 which can be operated by the user from outside the box 2.

[0049] In this first embodiment, the control element 130 is a push button. By push button, we mean the movable and protruding part of a push button that can be operated by the user and is intended to be outside the casing of a box.

[0050] The 120 control rod includes: a first end 121 directed towards the outside of the box 2 and secured to the control member 130, for example by pressing or screwing; a second end 122 directed towards the inside of the box 2 and intended to come into contact with a function corrector 10, 12 of the clockwork movement 1 and to actuate it when the user exerts pressure on the control member 130; a central portion forming the junction between the first end 121 and the second end 122.

[0051] In the example of implementation illustrated in figures 1 and 2 , the first end 121 of the control rod 120 has a thread, provided on a radially external face, to receive by screwing the control member 130.

[0052] The second end 122 of the control rod 120 is intended to be positioned opposite the clockwork movement 1 in various angular positions.

[0053] For example, one of the positions of the multifunction correction device 100 allows the second end 122 of the control rod 120 to be positioned opposite a function corrector 10, 12. One of the positions of the multifunction correction device 100 allows the second end 122 of the control rod to be positioned opposite a plurality of function correctors 10, 12. One of the positions of the multifunction correction device 100 allows the second end 122 of the control rod to be positioned opposite no function corrector of the watch movement.

[0054] The second end 122 of the control rod 120 has at least one protrusion, for example tenon 123, projecting from a plane perpendicular to the axis of revolution XX of the control rod 120.

[0055] In the example of implementation illustrated in figures 1 and 2The tenon 123 has a half-moon shape. The shape and positioning of the tenon 123 at the end 122 facing the inside of the case 2 are configured according to the positioning of the various function correctors of the watch movement 1.

[0056] With function correctors 10, 12 positioned under the axis of revolution XX of the control rod 120, it is also possible to define angular positions allowing simultaneous activation of both function correctors 10, 12 or neither of the function correctors 10, 12.

[0057] According to the example of implementation illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 Depending on the angular position of the control member 130, the tenon 123 can be positioned: opposite finger 13 of the first function corrector 10 (as illustrated in the figure 1) ; opposite a finger 14 of the second function corrector 12; opposite finger 13 of the first function corrector 10 and finger 14 of the second function corrector 12 so as to actuate simultaneously the two function correctors 10, 12; opposite none of the fingers 13, 14 of the function correctors 10, 12, so as to perform no function.

[0058] The second end 122 of the control rod 120 advantageously has an external diameter greater than the external diameter of the tubular portion 111 of the body 110. Thus, the second end 122 is also configured to form a stop bearing against the cylindrical body 110, and more particularly against the tubular part 111 of the cylindrical body 110, when returning to a rest position of the multifunction correction device 100.

[0059] Thus, the second end 122 forms means to ensure a stable rest position of the control member 130.

[0060] The control member 130, of the push-button type, has a general capsule shape configured to slide concentrically around the cylindrical body 110. The control member 130 has an internal recess in which a chimney 131 is formed, having in its center a threaded bore to receive the first end 121 of the control rod 120.

[0061] The return to a rest position of the multifunction correction device 100 is ensured by a return member 140, for example a return spring, positioned between the cylindrical body 110, fixed in the frame 20, and the control member 130. Thus, the return member 140 tends to reposition the control member 130 and the control rod 120 in a rest position when the user does not exert pressure on the control member 130.

[0062] For this purpose, the cylindrical body 110 has an end cavity formed at the level of the head 112 and configured to receive as support a first end of the return member 140. The second end of the return member 140 comes to rest at the level of an internal portion of the control member 130.

[0063] Thus, as seen previously, the selection of the function corrector 10, 12 of the movement to be maneuvered is carried out by the user by modifying the angular position of the control member 130 relative to the cylindrical body 110.

[0064] The rotation of the control member 130 causes the rotation of the fixed control rod 120, and thus allows the position of the tenon 123 of the control rod 120 to be changed in relation to the clock movement, by changing the angular position of the tenon 123, relative to the axis of revolution XX.

[0065] Pressing the same control member 130 then brings the tenon 123 of the second end 122 of the control rod 120 into contact with the finger(s) 13, 14 of the selected function correctors 10, 12 and actuates them to allow activation, selection, resetting or correction of one or more functions associated with the function correctors 10, 12.

[0066] The multi-function correction device 100 according to the invention may also include an indexing member 150 allowing the user to be indicated, for example by touch, that the control member 130 is positioned in a good position to ensure the desired function, such as the activation of one or more function correctors 10, 12 of the watch movement 1. Thus, such an indexing member makes it possible to ensure a good positioning of the tenon 123 with regard to one or more function correctors 10, 12.

[0067] The indexing member 150 also allows several stable indexing positions to be defined for the control member 130.

[0068] For example, the indexing member 150 is formed by an indexer comprising an indexing ball 151 and a spring housed in an indexing cage 152 carried by the control member 130, for example provided in a peripheral portion 132 of the control member 130.

[0069] The ball indexer is configured to mark several stable indexing positions of the control member 130 which is mobile and rotates around the axis of revolution XX.

[0070] The ball indexer cooperates with a plurality of housings 155 provided at the radially external surface of the cylindrical body 110, more particularly at the head 112 of the body 110. The cylindrical body 110 has as many housings 155 as there are desired indexing positions.

[0071] In the described embodiment, the indexing member 150 is configured to index four positions of the control member 130. Thus, the cylindrical body 110 has four recesses 155, for example, positioned at 90° to each other on the radially external surface of the peripheral circumference of the head 112. The four indexing positions of the control member 130 advantageously correspond to the four tenon positions 123 enabling the actuations described above, namely: a first angular position to activate the first function corrector 10 (as illustrated in the figure 1) ; a second angular position to activate the second function corrector 12; a third angular position to simultaneously activate the first function corrector 10 and the second function corrector 12; a fourth angular disengagement position to activate none of the function correctors in case of pressure on the control member 130.

[0072] Of course, the indexing positions and the number of indexing positions are given as examples. Other variations are also considered. For example, a simpler implementation involves indexing only the first and second positions to activate either the first or second function corrector.

[0073] We can also mention a variant that allows indexing the first position, the second position and the third position.

[0074] When the control element 130 is in position, the user actuates the control element 130 by applying pressure in the direction indicated by the arrow referenced F1 on the figure 1 , in a manner parallel to the XX axis.

[0075] The applied pressure acts against the return element 140, moving the control member 130 and the control rod 120 inwards within the housing 2 until the tenon 123 makes contact with the selected function corrector(s) 10, 12. Further pressure on the control member 130 allows the function corrector(s) 10, 12 to be operated in order to activate, select, reset, or correct information derived from the associated current time.

[0076] The multi-function correction device 100 also includes a sealing element 160 ensuring a seal between the cylindrical body 110 and the control rod 120. The sealing element is, for example, formed by one or two O-rings superimposed on each other.

[0077] The sealing element 160 is configured to ensure the required sealing between the inside of the watch case 2 and the outside of the watch case 2 while allowing translational and rotational movement of the control rod 120 and the control element 130.

[0078] There figure 3 illustrates a second example of the realization of a multifunctional correction device according to the invention.

[0079] With reference to the figure 3 The multifunction correction device 200 is identical to the multifunction correction device 100 described previously, with the exception of the characteristics which will be described later.

[0080] In this second embodiment, the control member 130 is a pusher having a recess 135 intended to receive a tool to facilitate the rotation of the control member 130. Of course, the tool has a shape complementary to the recess 135.

[0081] There figure 4 illustrates a third example of the realization of a multifunctional correction device according to the invention.

[0082] With reference to the figure 4 The multifunction correction device 300 is identical to the multifunction correction device 100 described previously, with the exception of the characteristics which will be described later.

[0083] In this third example, the 300 multifunction correction device is a miniature multifunction corrector button designed to be fully integrated into a 20" case of watch case 2. With reference to the figure 3The 20' frame is shown in transparency so that the entire 300 multi-function correction device can be viewed.

[0084] The 20' case has a 21' through housing configured to receive the 110 cylindrical body by screwing or pressing.

[0085] In this embodiment, the control element 130 is a miniature corrector housed in the housing 21' so that it does not protrude from the outer face 24 of the case 20'.

[0086] The control element 330 has a recess 135 intended to receive a tool to allow the rotation of the control element 130 which is housed in the case 20' and therefore not easily accessible by the user.

[0087] The control element 330 of this third embodiment operates identically to the control element 130 described with reference to figures 1 to 2 and presents the same characteristics.

[0088] The control unit 330 can be operated by the user from outside the box 2 via a small tool configured to cooperate with the shape of the footprint 135.

[0089] In the various embodiments described, the invention has been specifically described for the selection and / or activation of two function correctors in a watch movement. However, the invention is also applicable for the selection and / or activation of a plurality of function correctors in a watch movement.

[0090] For this purpose, the second end 122 of the control rod 120 may include one or more tenons, or protruding elements, of various shapes, to allow the activation of several activation fingers of several function correctors.

[0091] For example, with an off-center tenon of square shape, and by making quarter turns of the control member, it is conceivable to be able to activate four function correctors of a clockwork movement.

[0092] In this application, the control rod 120 actuates two rocker-type function correctors of a mechanical clock movement. However, it is envisaged that the control rod may interact with an electrical contact-type function corrector to perform a display, correction, selection, engagement, or reset function of at least one function derived from the current time of any mechanism.

[0093] The invention also relates to a timepiece, such as a wristwatch, comprising a case 2 containing a watch movement 1 having at least two function correctors 10, 20 for displaying, correcting, selecting, engaging, or resetting functions derived from the current time, such as a date, a time zone, a chronograph, etc., and a multifunction correction device 100 according to the invention allowing a function corrector 10, 12 of the watch movement 1 to be selected and activated when the control member 130, 330 is pressed.

[0094] The box 2 has a case comprising a housing 21 in which is mounted a multi-function correction device 100, 200, 300 according to the invention, by pressing or screwing.
