Abstract
A tool for actuating a corrector push-button fitted in a small portable object, wherein this actuation tool includes a body which extends between a rear end which defines a gripping zone of the actuation tool and a front end which defines an actuation zone of the actuation tool, at least the front end of the actuation tool being magnetised.
Claims6
A tool arranged to actuate a corrector push-button fitted in a small portable object, wherein this actuation tool comprises a body which extends between a rear end which defines a gripping zone of the actuation tool and a front end which defines an actuation zone of the actuation tool, wherein at least the front end of the actuation tool is magnetised, wherein the portable object comprises a middle inside which the corrector push-button is arranged, wherein at least one component of the corrector push-button or a zone of the middle immediately surrounding the corrector push-button is made of a magnetic material such as a ferromagnetic material, such that, when the actuation tool is moved towards the portable object, the actuation tool will come spontaneously into contact with the corrector push-button under the effect of the magnetic attraction force exerted thereon by the corrector push-button or the at least one zone of the middle.
A small portable object such as a timepiece, wherein this portable object comprises a middle in an opening whereof is arranged a corrector push-button, wherein at least one component of the corrector push-button or at least one zone of the middle immediately surrounding the corrector push-button is made of a magnetic material such as a ferromagnetic material, wherein this corrector push-button is arranged to be actuated by means of an actuation tool comprising a body which extends between a rear end which defines a gripping zone of the actuation tool and a front end which defines an actuation zone of the actuation tool, wherein at least the front end of the actuation tool is magnetised, such that, when the actuation tool is moved towards the portable object, the actuation tool will come spontaneously into contact with the corrector push-button under the effect of the magnetic attraction force exerted thereon by the corrector push-button or the at least one zone of the middle.
An assembly comprising a tool for actuating a corrector push-button fitted in a small portable object, wherein this actuation tool comprises a body which extends between a rear end which defines a gripping zone of the actuation tool and a front end which defines an actuation zone of the actuation tool, wherein at least the front end of the actuation tool is made of a ferromagnetic material, wherein the portable object comprises a middle in an opening whereof is arranged a corrector push-button, wherein at least one component of the corrector push-button or at least one portion of the middle immediately surrounding the corrector push-button is made of a magnetised material.
