摘要:
The caseband (1) of this invention is fashioned from a contoured strip (2) which includes a profile in relief elongated in the longitudinal direction of the strip. This profile may serve a purely decorative purpose but may also have functional applications for instance that of attaching a watch crystal to the caseband. In such case the profile in relief includes projections (3) which define facing slide channels (6) into which the crystal may be introduced.
摘要:
A watch case is described comprising a glass soldered to a metal part. The area of the glass having to be soldered to the metal part is provided with a coating which includes at least an outer layer made of the same material as the metal part.
摘要:
A watchcase (1) comprising essentially a body (15) to the top surface of which is held a flat crystal (2) by means of fixation members (4) providing grooves in which the edges of the crystal are secured after having been laterally engaged therein, and a sealing strip against the perimeter of the bottom face (11) of the crystal. The grooves of the fixation members (4) are bounded by two facing surfaces between which the crystal is engaged, the top groove surface (6) bearing against the top face (8) of the crystal. The case further comprises means (12) for applying the sealing strip (10) against the bottom face (11) of the crystal only after the crystal has been engaged in the grooves.
摘要:
The watch case contains a crystal (1) and a casing (3), on an upper peripheral surface (2) of which the crystal (1) is detachably mounted by means of connecting members or straps (10). These connecting members may consist of a U-shaped clamps (10) having arms (11, 12) to which the edges of the crystal (1) and the casing (3) are tightened and which are capable of being set in place by being laterally engaged on the edges of the case.
摘要:
This watch case is formed by the assembly of an upper shell (1) and of a lower shell (2) onto a caseband entirely confined within said shells, the edges (11, 12) which they exhibit being visible and substantially abuting, at least over a portion of their periphery. The shells are preferably spherical caps formed from a transparent scratch resistant material.
摘要:
The watch case including a back cover, a caseband, a crystal, the peripheral zone of which entirely covers the caseband, a casing ring including at least one packing, a pair of supports facing one another fixed to the caseband and forming therewith a slot in which the crystal may be engaged and means for displacing the casing ring in order to compress the packing against the internal surface of the crystal and block said crystal against the supports. The crystal exhibits at least in its peripheral zone a spherical form of constant thickness. The upper surface of the caseband has the form of a part of a sphere the radius of which is substantially equal to that of the internal surface of the crystal. During assembly the internal surface of the crystal is made to slide over the upper surface of the caseband with a rotational motion resulting from the sliding of a spherical surface over part of a sphere.
摘要:
In the manufacture of a watch case part comprising a glass and a middle having an opening for the glass, the following operations are carried out: first, a metallic coating is deposited on a peripheral portion of the glass, then one or more elements are formed on the coating by moulding a molten material having an affinity for the metal forming the coating, whereupon the glass is secured to the middle through the intermediary of the fastening element. The fastening element may consist of a heel extending around the periphery of the glass or of fastening studs extending at right angles to the plane of the glass. In some cases the fastening element may also act as sealing element.
摘要:
A watchcase essentially comprises a crystal 1 engaged in a recess 2 of a bezel or body 3. A material 6 capable of assuming a liquid or pasty consistency at the time of assembly, then solidifying and adhering to the wall 4 of the recess 2 is inserted in the space formed by the walls 4 and 5 of part 3 and crystal 1. The crystal 1 has a configuration such that the material 6, after setting, will exert a geometrical locking effect upon it.
摘要:
A watchcase (1) comprises a flat crystal (3) of hard material held by pressure between elastically deformable opposite side walls (4) of a recess (5) formed at the top of the body (2) of the watchcase. The bottom face (8) of the crystal (3) compresses a seal (9) arranged around the opening of the body. The restoring force exerted on the bevel of the crystal by the facing surface of the walls (4) as well as the rigidity of the crystal make it possible to make tightly sealed watchcases in which the crystal is held on the body over a portion of its margins only.
