ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device includes a housing sidewall defining an opening and a display component, such as a display cover, disposed in the opening to form a gap between the housing sidewall and the display component. In at least one example, the cavity is defined by the sidewall and the display cover with the cavity in fluid communication with an external environment through the gap. In at least one example, an epoxy component at least partially defines the cavity and can be in direct contact with the housing sidewall.
Switch device and timepiece
A switch device including a base member provided with a stem insertion hole, an operation member which has an engaging groove provided in an outer circumferential surface thereof, and is slidably and rotatably inserted into the stem insertion hole of the base member, a stopper member having an engaging portion which is arranged in the engaging groove of the operation member and moved along with sliding of the operation member, and a release member which releases the engaging portion from the engaging groove, in which the release member includes a pressing portion which is operated from one surface side of the base member so as to release the engaging portion from the engaging groove.
Electronic timepiece
An electronic timepiece includes an exterior case; an electronic module housed in the exterior case; a winding stem projecting from the electronic module to the exterior case; and a conductive earth member having a plate-like portion and an elastic portion extending from the plate-like portion to a winding stem side, in which the winding stem has a flange disposed between the electronic module and the exterior case, and the elastic portion is brought into contact with a surface of the flange on an electronic module side in a state where the winding stem is pushed into the electronic module.
Electronic Wristwatch with an Easily Adjustable Rotating Crown
The present application discloses an electronic wristwatch with an easily adjustable rotating crown, comprising a watch case, and one side of the watch case is provided with a bezel, the other side is provided with a bottom cover, and the watch case is provided with a movement, the external side of the watch case is provided with a circular operation hole, and an adjusting gear is provided in the circular operation hole, the adjusting gear comprises a circular disk, and the side edge of the circular disk, which is close to the movement, is provided with a tapered row of teeth 1 along the circumferential direction, the side of the circular disk, which is away from the movement, is provided with a connecting post, and the free end of the connecting post is provided with a threaded post, the connecting post is externally sleeved with a crown tube.
CONTROL DEVICE FOR A TIMEPIECE
A control device (1) for a timepiece has: - a body (4) intended to be mounted to be able to rotate about an axis of rotation (X) in a case middle (2) of a timepiece in order to drive a mechanism of the timepiece, and: - a crown head (5) movable in translation with respect to the body, parallel to the axis of rotation, between a first position and a second position. The body has a first coupling means (46) and the crown head has a second coupling means (53), arranged so that when the crown head is in its first position, the body and the crown head are uncoupled, and when the crown head is in its second position, the body and the crown head are coupled, the control device further comprising a locking element (6), a first formation (47A) and a second formation (47B), the locking element being able to cooperate with the first formation to stabilize the crown head in its first position, and with the second formation to stabilize the crown head in its second position, the locking element being integral with or fixed to the crown head and the first and second formations being integral with or fixed to the body, or the locking element being integral with or fixed to the body and the first and second formations being integral with or fixed to the crown head.
TIMEPIECE CASE COMPRISING A CORRECTION MEMBER
A timepiece case including a middle (20) receiving a horological movement (1) having at least one function corrector (10, 12) for carrying out various functions of activating, selecting, resetting and/or correcting a piece of information derived from the current time of the horological movement (1). The middle has a correction member (100), and a control stem (120) moving in translation within the cylindrical body of the correction member. The correction member (100) is mounted such that it slides in the middle (20) between a plurality of stable positions, each of the stable positions modifying the position of the end (122) of the control stem (120) facing the horological movement (1).
Control crown for a timepiece
A control crown for a timepiece, capable of cooperating, in order to maneuver a control rod, with a middle including a recess along an axis receiving a tube included in the crown, which includes a crown body capable of rotating covering both the rod and the tube, which includes a hollow to allow the rod to pass and/or be guided in rotation, the crown includes a closing cap fastened to the tube in a fixed angular position relative to the middle by the cooperation between indexing device of the tube and complementary indexing device of the closing cap, to axially enclose the crown body between the middle and the closing cap.
STEM-CROWN OF A WATER-RESISTANT WATCH CASE, AND WATCH CASE COMPRISING SAME
The stem-crown of a water-resistant watch case includes a tubular stem inserted into a tubular opening of a middle part of the watch case, and a crown including a first portion connected in part to the stem and a second handling portion. The first portion includes an annular contact surface inclined at less than 90° with respect to a longitudinal central axis of the stem-crown starting from the first portion towards the outside of the second portion. In a rest position, the first portion is in contact against an annular receiving surface of the middle part of complementary shape to one end of the tubular opening towards the outside. The crown further includes a washer under a bearing part of the first portion and contacting the stem, being configured to bear in an annular slot of the middle part between the tubular opening and the annular receiving surface.
Electronic timepiece and method of reporting state of electronic timepiece
An electronic timepiece includes: a main unit having a reporting unit that reports information to a user; a crown that can be pulled out from and pushed back into a main unit by the user; a sensor that detects a state of the electronic timepiece; and a processor, wherein the processor detects a state of the crown and the state detected by the sensor and switches between a plurality of modes in accordance with the state of the crown, and wherein upon detecting that the crown has been pulled out or pushed back in, the processor causes the electronic timepiece to operate in a state reporting mode in which the reporting unit reports the state detected by the sensor to the user.
Orientable screwed crown
A watch case, including an orientable screwed crown including axially movable, a subassembly including a setting body including a pattern, a tube suitable for being axially inserted into a hole of the case and including an axial indexing profile engaging complementarily with a complementary axial indexing profile of the hole, and the indexing profile is a cone of apex angle less than 15°, arranged to engage by friction with the complementary indexing profile of the hole.
