SHUTTER FOR WATCHES, MEDALLIONS, PENDANTS, AND THE LIKE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 3, 1913.
Application filed November 29, 1910. Serial No. 594,758.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDMOND Janeen, of 103 Rue Raumur, Paris, France, have in vented a new and useful Improvement in Shutters for Watches, Medallions, Pendants, and the Like, which invention is fully set forth in the following specification.
This invention has for its object to pro vide a shutter with one, two, or more, flaps, or doors, which can be adapted to watches, lockets, medallions, and the like to close a sight opening in the case thereof. The shutter in the case of a watch, is positioned inside of the case or cover between the same and the dial face of the watch, and can be opened either by depressing a push placed in the crown of the winding gear, as in hunter or semi-hunter, watches, and then closed automatically or by pulling out the crown of the winding gear when it is wished to move the hands of the watch to the correct time, in this latter case the shutter re mains open until the said crown is returned to its normal position. The opening or closing of the shutter can be obtained in any suitable manner by arrangements which will vary according to the number of flaps, or doors, employed, and the position of the slit. of the opening according to the decoration to be adopted.
The shutter shown by way of example on the accompanying drawing has two flaps, or doors, and a vertical slit, where the two edges of the doors meet in this closed positio-n.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the shutter in its closed position; Fig. 2, an elevation of the shutter in its open position; Fig. 3 shows the shutter applied to a semi-hunter watch, in its closed position. Fig. 4 shows the watch with shutter opened by acting on the push button. Fig. 5 shows the pushbutton pushed in to open the shutter. Fig. 6 is a front view of a medallion, with closed shutter, Fig. 7 a side of the same, Fig. 8 shows the medallion with the shutter opened. Figs. 9 and 10 are views, partly in perspective, illustrating more in detail the connections between the shutter-operating means and the pusher s and knob a. of the stem.
The shutter shown in Fig. 1 comprises two flaps, or doors, a, b, pivotally mounted on pivots 0, cl. The flaps, or doors, a and b, carry each two pins, 6 and f and g and h, on which bear the ends 2' and j, of springs 70 and Z, which keep the shutter closed, and the ends m, n of the piece 0 pivoted at 79 and operating the shutter Z2, a cranked piece (1 pivotally mounted at 9", controls the whole arrangement through the medium of the push s, which passes through the crown of the winding gear.
The shutter is operated as follows :VVhen the push s is depressed, the end 6 of the part q acts on the pin 6, which causes the door a to turn and at the same time operates the part 0 which in its turn causes the door Z) to turn through the medium of the pin 71. The two springs 70 and Z, which are under tension return the doors of the shut ter to their closed position when the pressure on the push s is released. Two safety screw stops it and o are provided to limit the inward movement of each door or flap of the shutter.
Vhen it is desired to move the hands for setting the watch to the correct time, the knob a of the winding gear is pulled outward and through the medium of a pin as fixed to the existing piece 1 of the move ment causes the piece (I to turn and open the shutter as before. By returning the knob a to its normal position, the shutter is closed while at the same time the gear for moving the hands is disengaged.
The doors or flaps of the shutter may be smooth or ornamented inany required manner, as shown in Fig. 3.
It will be understood that this kind of shutter can be readily applied to medallions and pendants and for this purpose the push controlling the shutter mechanism projects inside the attaching ring of the medallion, or the like, where it is controlled by a link of suitable form (Figs. 6, 7, and 8).
Both doors a and Z) of the shutter open on depressing the push s projecting within the ring of the medallion A, by means of a link 0 of a special form.
Referring particularly to Figs. 9 and 10, the oscillating piece y is of the same form as is commonly employed in watches in which the displacement of the stem for setting the hands takes place by pulling out and then turning the knob a of the stem. In the present instance, the knob a carries a ring 1. At its inner end, rod 2 of the watch stem is furnished with two shoulders or abutments 3 between which engages the end of piece y. At its outer end rod 2 is screwthreaded to ring 1. It will be understood that when the knob is pulled outward, the piece y is caused to swing around its pivot in the direction of the arrow 5. Aecordingly the pin a bears on the lower arm of the piece 1 the extremity of which is displaced in the direction of arrow 6.
Around stem 2 is a sleeve 7 having in its lower end an oval-shaped opening 8 into which projects the end of a screw stud 9 secured to the upper arm of piece 9. Two rods 10, 10, are interposed loosely between pusher s and the upper edge of sleeve 7, said rods passing loosely through openings in ring 1, and hence turning with button a. When the pusher s is operated, the sleeve 7 is depressed and the lever g rotates around the axis 1*, swinging its lower extremity in the direction of the arrow 6 toopen the shutters. The opening of the shutters is therefore produced at will either by pulling on the knob 64 or by depressing the pusher s. As long as button (4 remains in its pulled out position, the shutters remain open.
What I claim is:
1. The combination with the case of a watch, locket or the like having a sightopening therein, of a shutter made in two parts pivoted separately, spring-means tend-- ing to hold said shutter parts in their closed position, manually operable means for rotating one shutter part on its pivot to its open position and a bent lever fulcrumed between its ends to the case at one side of the sight-opening said lever being actuated at one end by the opening of said shutterpart and at its other end acting upon the other shutter-part to open the same.
2. The combination with the case of a watch or the like having a sightopening therein, of a shutter adapted to close said opening, a knob or stem on the watch adapt ed to be moved preparatory to use thereof in setting the hands of the watch, and means operable by said movement of the knob for moving said shutter to a position to open said sight-opening.
3. The combination with the case of a watch, or the like having a sight-opening therein, of a shutter positioned inside of said case and adapted to close said sightopening, a knob or stem adapted to be moved longitudinally preparatory to setting the hands of the watch, a pusher in said knob, and means operable either by the longitudinal movement of said knob or by actuation of said pusher for n'io-ving said shutter to a position to open said sightopening.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 8th day of November 1910, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GABRIEL BELLIARD.
