Watch comprising a transmission device between a control member and the movement
View Patent ↗The invention concerns a watch comprising a case having a middle part and inside which is housed a movement. The watch also includes a control member intended to be actuated by a user and an internal transmission device provided with an actuator, able to move, in response to actuation of the control member, between a rest position and an active position in which it actuates a mechanism of the movement. In an original manner, the transmission device includes a closed cavity filled with a fluid and a thrust means kinematically connected to the control member and arranged to displace the fluid inside the cavity, the displacement of fluid inside the cavity causing displacement of the actuator.
1. A watch comprising a case having a middle part and inside which is housed a movement, the watch including a control member intended to be actuated by a user, the watch further comprising an internal transmission device provided with an actuator able to move, in response to actuation of the control member, between a rest position and an active position in which the actuator actuates a mechanism of the movement, wherein the transmission device includes a closed cavity filled with a fluid and a thrust means kinematically connected to the control member and arranged to displace the fluid inside the cavity, wherein the displacement of fluid inside the cavity causes displacement of the actuator, and wherein the thrust means is a control piston and in that the actuator includes an actuator piston.
2. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the watch comprises a plurality of actuators able to move in a synchronized manner in response to displacement of the control member.
3. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the watch includes a return means tending to return the actuator to its rest position.
4. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the control member is located outside a plane of the movement.
5. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the watch includes a bezel and wherein the bezel forms a control member.
6. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the watch includes a regulating device able to adjust an actuation threshold of the mechanism by the actuator in response to actuation of the control member.
7. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity is at least partially made within the body of the case middle.
8. The watch according to claim 1 , provided with a watchband, wherein the control member is placed on the watchband.
9. The watch according to claim 1 , equipped with a watchband provided with a clasp, wherein the control member is placed on the watchband clasp.
10. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid filling the cavity is incompressible.
