Device for controlling a timepiece

A timepiece incudes a crown (4) housed in a cavity (10) provided in the case and open towards the outside, such as a cavity (10) in the side wall of the case (1) of a wristwatch, in the rest position of the crown (4). To bring the crown out of its rest position, the user rotates a rotary knurling-roller (5). The knurling-roller (5) is coupled to a tube (15) wherein is inserted a crown body (18) integral with the crown. The rotation of the knurling-roller actuates rotation as well as translation of the tube, which is linked only in translation to said cylinder (18). The tube displaces the crown in an axial direction without rotating the crown around its central axis (6). At least one control position of the crown and the rod can be reached, by rotating the knurling-roller (5) without having to manually pull the crown outwards.

Timepiece containing a locking device for a pusher
10725429 · 2020-07-28 · ·

A timepiece is equipped with a case that includes a case middle, a pusher, and a locking device for this pusher. The pusher is arranged movably in a translational manner in an actuation axis. The locking device contains a blocker that is movable in a translational manner along the actuation axis and with the ability to be displaced between a locking position and an unlocking position, in which positions the pusher is respectively to the locking and unlocking positions blocked and free in translation. The locking device contains in addition a control rotatably mounted in a general plane of the case between a first position and a second position corresponding respectively to the locking and unlocking positions for the blocker, this control containing structure for driving the blocker between its locking and unlocking positions.

Timepiece with retractable pusher

A timepiece including a case middle, a bezel, rotatably mounted on the case middle, and an actuation member including a cover capable of adopting a retracted position and a deployed position relative to the case middle, the cover being provided with a bearing surface actuatable by the user's finger, wherein the cover includes a shoulder distinct from the bearing surface, the shoulder being intended to cooperate with the bezel when the cover is in the retracted position.
