Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un système de sertissage pour un article d'horlogerie ou de joaillerie dans lequel une pierre précieuse est montée de façon à donner un effet visuel de vibration de la pierre. La présente invention concerne également un cadran de montre et une pièce d'horlogerie ou bijouterie comportant un tel système de sertissage.The present invention relates to a crimping system for a timepiece or jewelery in which a gemstone is mounted to give a visual effect of vibration of the stone. The present invention also relates to a watch face and a timepiece or jewelery including such a crimping system.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Les systèmes de sertissage permettre de monter un ou des pierres précieuses à un support. Lorsque la pierre est montée de manière fixe sur le support, il est difficile de voir la lumière réfléchie au travers des différentes facettes de la pierre puisque les mouvements de la pierre sont très réduits. Un tel montage n'est donc pas optimal lorsque l'on recherche un certain effet d'animation. Pour cette raison, des systèmes de sertissage comprennent des éléments ressort ou des moyens optiques afin de produire un effet d'animation.The crimping systems allow to mount one or more precious stones to a support. When the stone is fixedly mounted on the support, it is difficult to see the light reflected through the different facets of the stone since the movements of the stone are very small. Such an arrangement is therefore not optimal when looking for a certain animation effect. For this reason, crimping systems include spring elements or optical means to produce an animation effect.

Dans le brevet US6433483 , un article de bijouterie comporte des diamants étant illuminés à l'aide d'une source d'illumination. Un contrôleur contrôle la source d'illumination de sorte à varier l'intensité de la lumière émise pas la source permettant ainsi de mieux ressortir les effets optiques du diamant. Il est cependant souvent indésirable d'utiliser des dispositifs électroniques dans des pièces d'horlogerie ou bijouterie d'haute gamme.In the patent US6433483 , a jewelery item has diamonds being illuminated with an illumination source. A controller controls the illumination source so as to vary the intensity of the light emitted by the source, thus making it possible to better highlight the optical effects of the diamond. However, it is often undesirable to use electronic devices in timepieces or high-end jewelry.

Le document EP2510824 décrit un article de bijouterie comprenant une pierre précieuse fixée dans un chaton monté sur un élément pivot en matière plastique ou élastomère. Bien que l'ensemble pierre-chaton puisse se déplacer, son mouvement sur l'élément pivot ne donne pas un effet visuel de vibration de la pierre.The document EP2510824 discloses a jewelery article comprising a precious stone fixed in a kitten mounted on a pivotal element made of plastic or elastomer. Although the whole kitten stone can move, its movement on the pivot element does not give a visual effect of vibration of the stone.

Le modèle d'utilité RU100367U décrit un article de bijouterie comprenant une pierre précieuse fixée dans un chaton en forme de rondelle, cet ensemble pierre-chaton est lié à une base de l'article par un ressort cylindrique. La vibration de la pierre montée sur le ressort provoque un effet de réfraction de la lumière. La fixation des extrémités du ressort au chaton et à la base est cependant compliquée et délicate. Dans le cas de petits ressorts, requis dans le cas de pierres de faibles tailles, ces derniers peuvent se déformer d'une manière excessive lorsque la pierre se déplace par rapport à sa position initiale, péjorant le mouvement de vibration de la pierre et donc de l'esthétique de la pièce. De plus, le dimensionnement du ressort de sorte à obtenir l'effet visuel recherché le rend fragile et le ressort peut être également déformé de manière irréversible par les chocs.The utility model RU100367U describes a jewelery item comprising a gemstone set in a washer-shaped kitten, this set of stone-kitten is bonded to a base of the article by a cylindrical spring. The vibration of the stone mounted on the spring causes a refraction effect of the light. Fixing the ends of the spring to the kitten and the base is however complicated and delicate. In the case of small springs, which are required in the case of small stones, they may be excessively deformed when the stone moves from its original position, thereby disturbing the vibration movement of the stone and therefore the aesthetics of the room. In addition, the dimensioning of the spring so as to obtain the desired visual effect makes it fragile and the spring can also be irreversibly deformed by shocks.

La demande de brevet WO2012/115458 décrit un article de bijouterie comprenant un support en forme de bague ayant un secteur creux dans lequel est monté un chaton par le biais d'un ressort spiral ou conique. Les extrémités du ressort sont fixées dans des rainures pratiquées dans le support et dans le chaton respectivement, et le chaton est mis en oscillation sous l'effet d'excitations externes sur le support. Selon une forme d'exécution, une goupille est montée au travers la partie supérieure du chaton, chacune des extrémités de la goupille étant logée dans le support dans un plan parallèle au plan du ressort (le ressort étant fixé à une partie inférieure du chaton). La goupille sert à empêcher la séparation du chaton et du support au cas de chocs importants. Selon ce document, avec cette construction, la partie inférieure du chaton peut uniquement vibrer dans une direction perpendiculaire à la goupille dans le plan du ressort, et la partie supérieure du chaton reste effectivement solidaire du support.The patent application WO2012 / 115458 discloses a jewelery article comprising a ring-shaped carrier having a hollow sector in which a kitten is mounted by means of a spiral or conical spring. The ends of the spring are fixed in grooves in the support and in the kitten respectively, and the kitten is oscillated under the effect of external excitations on the support. According to one embodiment, a pin is mounted through the upper part of the kitten, each end of the pin being housed in the support in a plane parallel to the plane of the spring (the spring being attached to a lower part of the kitten) . The pin is used to prevent the separation of the kitten and the support in case of major shocks. According to this document, with this construction, the lower part of the kitten can only vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the pin in the plane of the spring, and the upper part of the kitten remains effectively secured to the support.

Bien qu'un tel article soit moins susceptible à une séparation accidentelle du chaton et/ou une déformation du ressort suite à un choc important, les oscillations du chaton sont beaucoup trop limitées par la goupille qui les amortisse d'une manière importante en permanence. Cela dénie en conséquence l'effet visuel recherché de l'article, voire la vibration ou mouvement de la pierre. De plus, même après le montage d'une pierre dans le chaton, le ressort et la goupille restent complètement visibles au porteur de l'article, ce qui affouille énormément l'esthétique de l'article de bijouterie.Although such an article is less susceptible to accidental separation of the kitten and / or deformation of the spring following a major shock, the oscillations of the kitten are much too limited by the pin that dampens them permanently. This denies accordingly the desired visual effect of the article, or the vibration or movement of the stone. In addition, even after mounting a stone in the kitten, the spring and the pin remain completely visible to the wearer of the article, which undermines enormously the aesthetics of the jewelry item.

Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un système de sertissage pour un article d'horlogerie ou de joaillerie exempt des limitations de l'état de la technique connu.An object of the present invention is to provide a crimping system for a timepiece or jewelery free of limitations of the prior art known.

Un autre but de l'invention est d'obtenir un système de sertissage présentant un montage beaucoup plus facile et fiable de la pierre en comparaison avec les systèmes connus, et étant mieux adapté à l'utilisation de pierres de petite tailles.Another object of the invention is to obtain a crimping system having a much easier and reliable assembly of the stone in comparison with known systems, and being better adapted to the use of small stones.

Selon l'invention, ces buts sont atteints notamment au moyen d'un système de sertissage comprenant: un support de sertissage; une pierre précieuse montée dans ou sur le support de sertissage; un élément élastique fixé au support de sertissage de manière à relier de façon flexible le support de sertissage audit article; le système de sertissage comprenant en outre un élément proximal fixé au support de sertissage et s'étendant distalement du support de sertissage; un élément distal fixé à l'article et s'étendant de façon proximale de l'article; l'élément proximal et l'élément distal coopérant de manière articulée l'un par rapport à l'aide de l'élément élastique de sorte que le support de sertissage puisse osciller autour de l'axe de symétrie.According to the invention, these objects are achieved in particular by means of a crimping system comprising: a crimping support; a gemstone mounted in or on the crimping support; an elastic member attached to the crimping support so as to flexibly connect the crimping support to said article; the crimping system further comprising a proximal member attached to the crimping support and extending distally from the crimping support; a distal member attached to the article and extending proximally from the article; the proximal member and the distal member cooperating in an articulated manner with respect to the elastic member so that the crimping support can oscillate about the axis of symmetry.

Brève description des figuresBrief description of the figures

Des exemples de mise en oeuvre de l'invention sont indiqués dans la description illustrée par les figures annexées dans lesquelles:

  • la figure 1 montre une vue en coupe d'un système de sertissage pour un article d'horlogerie ou de joaillerie, selon un mode de réalisation; et
  • la figure 2 montre une vue en perspective du système de sertissage de la figure 1.
Examples of implementation of the invention are indicated in the description illustrated by the appended figures in which:
  • the figure 1 shows a sectional view of a crimping system for a timepiece or jewelery, according to one embodiment; and
  • the figure 2 shows a perspective view of the crimping system of the figure 1 .

Exemple(s) de mode de réalisation de l'inventionExample (s) of embodiment of the invention

Un système de sertissage 1 pour un article d'horlogerie 6 ou de joaillerie est illustré aux figures 1 et 2, selon un mode de réalisation. Le système de sertissage 1 comprend un support de sertissage 3, ou chaton, dans lequel est montée une pierre précieuse 2, telle qu'un diamant, rubis, saphir ou émeraude. On comprendra ici que l'expression "une pierre précieuse" signifie au moins une pierre précieuse 2, le support 3 pouvant supporter une pluralité de pierres précieuses 2. L'expression "pierre précieuse" peut également englober tout type de pierres, telles que les pierres fines. Un élément élastique 5 fixé au support de sertissage 3 relie de façon flexible le support de sertissage 3 à l'article 6. L'élément élastique 5 s'étend axialement entre le support de sertissage 3 et l'article 6.A crimping system 1 for a timepiece 6 or jewelery is illustrated in FIGS. figures 1 and 2 according to one embodiment. The crimping system 1 comprises a crimping support 3, or kitten, in which is mounted a gemstone 2, such as a diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald. It will be understood here that the expression "a gemstone" means at least one gemstone 2, the support 3 being able to support a plurality of precious stones 2. The expression "gemstone" can also include any type of stone, such as fine stones. An elastic element 5 fixed to the crimping support 3 flexibly connects the crimping support 3 to the article 6. The elastic element 5 extends axially between the crimping support 3 and the article 6.

Le système de sertissage 1 comprend un élément proximal 13 fixé au support de sertissage 3 et s'étendant distalement du support de sertissage 3. Un élément distal 17 est fixé à l'article 6 et s'étend de façon proximale de l'article 6. L'élément proximal 13 et l'élément distal 17 coopèrent de manière articulée l'un par rapport à l'aide de l'élément élastique 5 de sorte que le support de sertissage 3 puisse osciller par rapport à un axe de symétrie 15 sensiblement parallèle (voire dans cette forme d'exécution confondu) aux éléments proximal 13 et distal 17 lorsque le système de sertissage 1 ne vibre pas.The crimping system 1 comprises a proximal element 13 fixed to the crimping support 3 and extending distally from the crimping support 3. A distal element 17 is attached to the article 6 and extends proximally from the article 6 The proximal member 13 and the distal member 17 cooperate in an articulated manner relative to one another by means of the elastic member 5 so that the crimping holder 3 can oscillate by relative to an axis of symmetry 15 substantially parallel (or even in this embodiment) to the proximal elements 13 and distal 17 when the crimping system 1 does not vibrate.

Dans cet arrangement, la pierre 2 peut osciller ou vibrer sur l'élément élastique 5 suite à un mouvement de l'article 6 (autrement dit, de sorte à ce que le support de sertissage, et donc la pierre, puisse osciller ou vibrer sur l'élément élastique 5 suite à un mouvement de l'article 6). Par exemple, lors d'un choc ou d'un mouvement brusque de l'article d'horlogerie ou de joaillerie 6 comportant le système de sertissage 1, l'élément distal 17 reste fixe, tandis que l'élément élastique 5 et l'élément proximal 13 fléchissent sous l'effet de l'accélération de la masse de la pierre 2 et du support de sertissage 3. La raideur de l'élément élastique 5, la masse de la pierre 2 et du support de sertissage 3, ainsi que l'intensité du choc sont les principaux facteurs définissant l'amplitude des vibrations (ou oscillations) de la pierre 2. L'oscillation de la pierre 2 se fait selon un mouvement radial par rapport à un axe de symétrie 15 et un mouvement axial par rapport à ce même axe 15.In this arrangement, the stone 2 can oscillate or vibrate on the elastic member 5 following a movement of the article 6 (that is, so that the crimping support, and thus the stone, can oscillate or vibrate on the elastic element 5 following a movement of the article 6). For example, during a shock or a sudden movement of the timepiece or jewelry item 6 comprising the crimping system 1, the distal element 17 remains fixed, while the elastic element 5 and the proximal element 13 flex under the effect of the acceleration of the mass of the stone 2 and the crimping support 3. The stiffness of the elastic element 5, the mass of the stone 2 and the crimping support 3, and the intensity of the shock are the main factors defining the amplitude of the vibrations (or oscillations) of the stone 2. The oscillation of the stone 2 is in a radial movement with respect to an axis of symmetry 15 and an axial movement by compared to this same axis 15.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 1, l'élément élastique 5 comprend un ressort à développante hélicoïdale 50 (ci-après ressort hélicoïdal). Le ressort hélicoïdal 50 est de section cylindrique. L'élément proximal 13 est inséré par l'une des extrémités du ressort hélicoïdal 50 ayant la forme d'un tube, et l'élément distal 17 est inséré par l'autre extrémité du ressort hélicoïdal 50. De la sorte, au moins une portion de l'élément proximal 13 et de l'élément distal 17 est logée dans le ressort hélicoïdal 50.In the embodiment illustrated in figure 1 , the elastic member 5 comprises a coil spring 50 (hereinafter helical spring). The helical spring 50 is of cylindrical section. The proximal member 13 is inserted through one end of the coil spring 50 in the shape of a tube, and the distal member 17 is inserted through the other end of the coil spring 50. Thus, at least one portion of the proximal element 13 and the distal member 17 is housed in the coil spring 50.

L'élément proximal 13 et l'élément distal 17 peuvent être entièrement logés dans le ressort hélicoïdal 50.The proximal element 13 and the distal element 17 can be entirely housed in the coil spring 50.

L'élément proximal 13 et l'élément distal 17 sont plus rigides que le ressort hélicoïdal 50. Autrement dit, L'élément proximal 13 et l'élément distal 17 ont une raideur K2 plus grande que la raideur K1 du ressort hélicoïdal 50. Par conséquent, lorsque le système de sertissage 1 est mis en vibration, le ressort hélicoïdal 50 permet au support de sertissage 3 et la pierre 2 d'osciller autour de l'axe de symétrie 15, les éléments proximal 13 et distal 17 assurant la tenue mécanique du support de sertissage 3 et la fixation sur l'article 6, respectivement.The proximal element 13 and the distal element 17 are more rigid than the coil spring 50. In other words, the proximal element 13 and the distal element 17 have a stiffness K 2 greater than the stiffness K 1 of the spring 50.
