Abstract
The invention relates to a mechanism for the positioning of wristwatch control elements, whereas such control element may be implemented as a crown intended for the adjustment of the watch—as well as winding up the energy storage spring, for mechanical watches—or a pushbutton, and it is embedded in a hole in the watch case in an axially movable manner. The position mechanism contains a seat for the control element, as well as an actuating element linked to the control element from the side through at least one drive element designed to move the control element in its normal position countersunk in the seat, or one or more elevated operating positions.
Claims18
A mechanism for the positioning of a wristwatch control element, said control element being possibly implemented as a crown intended for the adjustment of the watch—as well as winding up the energy storage spring, for mechanical watches—or a push button, and embedded in a hole in the watch case in an axially movable manner, wherein
- the positioning mechanism contains a seat for the control element (4), into which seat the control element is countersunk in a normal position and from which seat the control elements is elevated into one or more operating positions,
- the positioning mechanism contains an actuating element, said actuating element being a slide, an actuating wheel or a lever that may be turned about an axle disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the control element,
- said positioning mechanism containing at least one drive element disposed between the actuating element and the control element such that the drive element is connected from the side to the control element, and
- a support element connected to the control element in front of the drive element, on the opposite side of the control element to the drive element.
