Abstract
A jointed electronic watch comprises a plurality of watch cases each capable of bearing a different type of display and an energy source. Between the back covers (4, 5, 6) and case bands of each case are sandwiched seals (9, 10, 11) which are coupled together by isthmuses (12) at the line of articulation of the back covers and which are formed as a single piece. Within the isthmuses are arranged electrical conductors adapted to couple together the various electronic components within the plurality of cases.
Claims8
A jointed electronic watch comprising at least two watch-cases coupled together by an articulation, each of said cases comprising a back cover, a case-band and a seal located between the back cover and the case-band wherein the seals are coupled together at the line of articulation by an isthmus formed of the same material as the seals and being integrated therewith so as to form a moisture and dust blocking seal in one piece, electrical conductors being located within the isthmus thereby to assure a sealed passage for electric connections between the watch-cases.
A jointed electronic watch comprising at least two watch-cases coupled together by an articulation, each of said cases comprising a back cover, a case-band, and a seal located between the back cover and the case-band wherein the seals are coupled together at the line of articulation by an isthmus formed of the same material as the seals and being integrated therewith so as to form a moisture and dust blocking seal in one piece, said isthmus having a tunnel for receiving electrical conductors between the watch-cases.
A jointed electronic watch comprising at least two watch-cases coupled together by an articulation, each of said cases comprising a back cover, a case-band, and a seal located between the back cover and the case-band wherein the seals are nonconductive and are coupled together at the line of articulation by an isthmus formed of the same nonconductive material as the seals and being integrated therewith so as to form a moisture and dust blocking seal in one piece, electrical conductors being located within the isthmus thereby to assure a sealed passage for electric connections between the watch cases.
