Принадлежит: Общество С Ограниченной Ответственностью "Часовой Завод Ника"

Полезная модель относится к часовой промышленности и может быть использована при изготовлении часов с разрезным ремешком. Предлагается декоративный корпус для часов с разрезным ремешком, имеющий несущий корпус с углублениями для крепления частей разрезного ремешка и закрепленный с тыльной стороны несущего корпуса съемный накладной декоративный элемент, например декоративную крышку из драгоценных металлов. Для крепления декоративного элемента и разрезного ремешка используются одни и те же крепежные элементы. Для этого в стенке углублений несущего корпуса выполнены отверстия, в которых размещаются элементы крепления. Элементы крепления последовательно проходят через отверстия в съемном декоративном элементе, отверстия в стенке углубления и отверстия в присоединительном участке разрезного ремещка и выполнены с головкой, поджимающей съемный декоративный элемент к тыльной поверхности корпуса часов, фиксируя сборку. Полезная модель упрощает установку и замену разрезного ремешка в часах и исключает случайную утерю элементов крепления и накладного декоративного элемента при установке и замене разрезного ремешка. 6 з.п. ф-лы; 5 илл.

A two-state wearable device may include a wearable band (e.g., a watch band) and a display module (e.g., a watch face). In a “detached” state, the wearable band and display module act as separate devices, and the display module can be charging its battery while the wearable band gathers sensor data (e.g., sleep tracking data) and provides a vibrating/audio alarm clock function. In an “attached” state, the wearable band and display module act together as a single device, meaning that the data collected by the wearable band during the “detached” state is sent to and stored at the display module, and that sleep settings input at a user interface of the display module impact the wearable band's alarm function. The display module may also use its newly-recharged battery to recharge the wearable band's battery so that it can be used the next night. 1. A wearable device with two states of use , the wearable device comprising:a wearable band configured to releasably attach a display module such that the wearable band is configurable between an attached state and a detached state, wherein, in the attached state, the wearable band is attached to and in communication with the display module, and in the detached state, the wearable band is separate and apart from the display module, the wearable band comprising:a wearable band processor configured to execute program instructions and configured to determine when the wearable band is in the detached state or the attached state;a wearable band battery configured to power the wearable band, at least when in the detached state, and to receive a charge from an external power source;at least one wearable band sensor configured to perform at least one sensor measurement at least when in the detached state;a wearable band memory configured to store at least a portion of the wearable band sensor measurements at least when in the detached state; anda wearable band communication interface configured for transmitting at least a portion of ...

COATING OF SURFACES INTENDED FOR HOROLOGY BY USING CATANIONIC COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING PHOSPHONIC MOLECULES AND AMINES

Номер: US20150103639A1
Автор: Le Collinet Gregory, Portet David
Принадлежит: ASSOCIATION SUISSE POUR LA RECHERCHE HORLOGERE

The present invention describes the use of amine molecules (N) and phosphonic compounds (P) for coating surfaces intended to be used in the field of horology. Since these two types of compounds are alkaline and acid in nature, they form pairs of ions that interact with all types of surfaces, whether these are composed of mineral materials such as glass, metal, non-oxidised materials (inter alia gold, rhodium and their alloys), or also polymeric materials. Taking advantage of the surprising complementary nature of these two types of compounds, the present inventors propose a composition and a coating process that enable functionalisation layers to be formed on any type of material, in particular those used in clock mechanisms. 118-. (canceled)19. A process for coating a surface in a clock mechanism or a device integrated into a watch product with a molecular functionalization layer , the process comprising:a) optionally preparing said surface by washing in a solvent and/or in an aqueous detergent, then drying,b) contacting said surface with a first composition comprising an effective quantity of a phosphonic compound until self-assembly of said phosphonic compound to a fine layer on said surface,c) contacting said surface with a second composition comprising an effective quantity of an amine compound until self-assembly of said amine compound to a fine layer on said surface to form a functionalized surface,d) removing supernatant from the functionalized surface,e) rinsing the functionalized surface, andf) drying the functionalized surface;wherein said phosphonic compound and said amine compound are different compounds.20.
