Abstract
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).
Claims21
A timepiece case (2) comprising a middle (20) delimiting an internal space capable of receiving a horological movement (1) having a function corrector (10, 12) for carrying out various functions of activating, selecting, resetting and/or correcting a piece of information derived from athe current time of said horological movement (1), the middle (20) having a through-aperture (21) configured to receive a correction member (100) capable of interacting with the function corrector (10, 12) of said horological movement (1), said correction member (100) comprising:
- a cylindrical body (110) with a longitudinal axis (X-X),
- a control stem (120) capable of moving in translation within said cylindrical body, along the longitudinal axis (X-X), said control stem (120) comprising an end (122) intended to cooperate with the function corrector (10, 12) of said horological movement (1),
- a push-piece (130) integral with said control stem (120) and accessible to the user from outside said case (2),
- wherein the correction member (100) is mounted such to slide laterally, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, within said aperture (21) in the middle (20) between a plurality of stable positions (P1, P2, P3, P4), each of the stable positions (P1, P2, P3, P4) modifying the lateral position of the end (122) of said control stem (120) facing said horological movement (1).
