Abstract
A packaging for timepiece appliques with a foot and body, including at least one tray provided for the reception, holding, storage and transport of appliques of the same height, including bores for receiving the feet at a constant pitch, adjacent to housings for housing the applique bodies resting on an upper tray surface as opposed to a lower tray surface, each tray including position indexing device, and at least one vertically extending mounting spacer, arranged to cooperate in abutment with a lower surface of another such tray, or a lower spacer surface of a spacer of the packaging, each mounting spacer extending, from the upper tray surface, over a height greater than that of the applique bodies.
Claims16
A packaging for timepiece appliques, said appliques comprising, on either side of a bearing surface, at least one foot, and an applique body extending over an applique height above said bearing surface, said packaging comprising at least one tray arranged for the reception, holding, storage and transport of said appliques of the same said applique height, said tray comprising a series of bores for the reception of said feet at a constant pitch, each said bore being adjacent to a housing arranged for housing one said applique body resting on an upper tray surface as opposed to a lower tray surface, wherein each said tray includes position indexing means and includes at least one mounting spacer extending in a vertical direction and arranged to cooperate in abutment with a said lower tray surface of another said tray or with a lower spacer surface of a spacer comprised in said packaging and of identical planar dimensions to a said tray, each said mounting spacer extending, from said upper tray surface, over a tray height greater than said applique height by the value of a predefined operating play.
An automated means of production for manufacturing timepiece appliques, said appliques comprising, on either side of a bearing surface, at least one foot, and an applique body extending over an applique height above said bearing surface, said automated means of production comprising at least one machining unit for profile-turning and/or milling and/or diamond polishing, wherein said automated means of production includes a tray loader mechanism arranged to receive and identify a tray provided for the reception, holding, storage and transport of said appliques of the same said applique height and which includes positioning indexing means for precise positioning of the tray on said tray loader mechanism.
