    Description
    Description of the Invention 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a portable apparatus and a portable timepiece provided with a pusher. 2. Description of the Prior Art [0002] Among portable timepieces such as a wristwatch or a pocket watch or portable devices such as a stopwatch, a mobile telephone or a personal digital assistant, it is known a portable timepiece or a portable device where a pusher, which operates a contact or the like within the housing, is mounted on the housing. By pushing the pusher with a predetermined shot, for example, in the portable timepiece, a dial can be illuminated, or a time display can be changed from a display analogous to a digital display or display. digital to a similar display, or a date and a day that are digitally displayed can be corrected.
    This type of portable device is configured so that the pusher is biased in the direction opposite to the thrust direction of the pusher by a spring and therefore, the movement of the pusher of a tube to the outside is avoided by a spring force. As a preventive displacement constitution, on an end portion of the pusher that reaches the inside of a housing through a tube attached to the housing, a type C retainer ring or a type E retainer ring, which is engaged with one end of the tube, is mounted.
    On the assumption of such a constitution, a conventional portable apparatus includes a locking element which avoids an erroneous operation of the pusher. The locking member has a thread formed on the inner periphery thereof threadingly engaged with a male threaded portion formed on the outer periphery of the tube attached to the housing, and the locking member is movable between a locked position and a position. unlocked by a change in a gear engagement of these threaded portions (see JP-A-2003-7164 (patent literature 1), for example).
    In such a constitution, when the locking member is moved to the unlocked position, the locking member is moved away from the pusher head which passes through the tube. Accordingly, a pusher push operation is permitted with a shot corresponding to a distance by which the locking member is spaced from the head. On the contrary, when the locking member is moved to the locked position, the locking member is brought into a state where the locking member is in contact with the pusher head. Due to such a constitution, a forced push of the pusher can be avoided.
    In addition, it is also known a prior art where the external appearance of the pusher does not change between a locked state and an unlocked state and, in addition, the intrusion of waste in the female threaded portions and male is rendered difficult even in a locked state (see JP-A-2004-319error: character: # not found 446 (patent literature 2), for example).
    In such a prior art, the locking element is inserted axially on the outer periphery of the tube fixed to the housing, and a rotating ring which covers the locking element is held so that the rotary ring does not rotate. it is not axially displaceable relative to the tube. A tapping formed on the inner periphery of the rotating ring is threadably engaged with the male threaded portion formed on the outer periphery of the locking member. Because of such a constitution, the locking member can be moved between a locked position and an unlocked position by changing a gear engagement of these threaded portions.
    In such a constitution, when the locking member is moved to an unlocked position in addition to the rotational operation of the rotating ring, the locking member is moved from the head of the pusher that passes through the tube. Accordingly, the pusher push operation is allowed with a shot corresponding to the spacing distance between the locking member and the head. On the contrary, when the locking member is moved to a locked position due to rotation of the rotating ring, the locking member is brought into a state where the locking member is in contact with the pusher head. . As a result, the forced push of the pusher is avoided.
    In the prior art, the pusher is positioned due to the engagement of the retaining ring mounted on the pusher with the end of the tube into the interior of the housing, and the locking member moved to the locked position is brought into contact with the pusher head in such a state. Due to such a constitution, even in a state where the pusher is locked, a state where the male threaded portion and the female threaded portion, i.e. the thread, screwed to each other is maintained.
    There may be a case where, after the locking member reaches the locked position, the locking member having the female threaded portion or the rotating ring is further excessively rotated due to an operator error.
    Such an erroneous operation can happen because of the following reason. That is, the strength of the retaining ring is not so large, and the retaining ring is elastically deformable relatively easily. In addition, the retaining ring has a slot for the retaining ring to be deformable to shrink a diameter thereof. As a result, it is hardly possible for a user to perceive that the locking member has reached the locked position due to the elastic deformation of the retaining ring. As a result, the locking element or the rotating ring can be operated by mistake as previously described.
    When the locking element or the rotary ring is operated excessively rotatively by mistake, it may be a case where the deformed retaining ring is pushed into the inside of the tube in addition to such an operation. press. As a result, there may be a case where the smooth movement of the pusher in the axial direction is decreased after the erroneous operation. Especially, when the locking member or the rotating ring is designated to have a wider outer diameter to improve the operability of the locking member or the rotating member, a rotational torque caused by the erroneous operation mentioned above. above is increased. In addition to increasing the rotational torque, the retaining ring is more easily deformed thereby increasing the possibility that the retaining ring will be pushed into the tube. In addition, the disadvantages caused by the erroneous operation mentioned above become a cause of the deterioration in the design of the locking element or the rotating ring with a wider outer diameter.
    As a defensive measure to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above, it can be considered that a wall thickness of a retaining ring is increased or a retaining ring is made of a material having a great strength for make the deformation of the retaining ring difficult. However, such a defensive measure uses a dedicated retaining ring that has yet to be developed and therefore, a manufacturing cost is increased. In addition, a mounting operation of a retaining ring on a rod of a pusher or a removal operation of the retaining ring of the rod of the pusher becomes bulky so that operability is greatly lowered when a pusher and the parts around the pushers are detached and cleaned. As a result, the defensive measures mentioned above are not desirable. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0014] It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable apparatus and a portable timepiece that can, in a state where a locking member is moved to a locked position where the thrust of the a pusher is avoided, preventing the locking element from being operated excessively rotatively by mistake.
    To achieve the object mentioned above, a portable apparatus of the present invention includes: a housing in which a through hole is formed; a tube including an insertion sleeve, which is inserted into the through hole and which is fixed to the housing, and an outer sleeve arranged outside the housing and integrally formed with the insertion sleeve, the outer sleeve carrying a portion threaded male and a stopping portion; a locking member which includes a locking portion, which is brought into contact with or is separated from the stop portion, a recess, for driving a head, and respectively a tapping, the male threaded portion being screwed into the tapping said locking member being mounted in a displaceable state in the axial direction of the tube covering the outer sleeve; a pusher which includes a rod, which passes through the tube, and said head which has a rear portion facing a bottom surface of the recess, which is positioned outside the housing, and which can move in the axial direction; a spring that urges the pusher towards the outside of the housing; and a retaining ring which is mounted on one end of the shank which is positioned within the housing to prevent withdrawal of the pusher from the tube; wherein a spacing distance A between the locking portion and the locking portion facing each other in a state where the locking member is positioned by being brought into contact with the housing, and a spacing distance B between the bottom surface and the rear part facing it in the same state are set to satisfy the ratio of A <B.
    The portable device according to the present invention is applicable to a portable timepiece such as a wristwatch or a pocket watch, a stopwatch, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant or the like, and the case means an outer box or the like. In the present invention, the stop portion of the tube may be integrally formed with the outer sleeve of the tube or may be formed of a structure which is mounted on the outer periphery of the outer sleeve as a separate portion of the outer sleeve. In the present invention, the locking portion of the locking member may be formed of an annular portion which is formed on the inner periphery of the locking member without being interrupted in the circumferential direction or other annular portion which is formed substantially in the same way can play a role of the locking part.
    In the present invention, the opposite face portion, which the pusher head has, can instead be formed by employing an end surface on a rear side of the head. However, the outer periphery of a peripheral portion of the head may be cut from a rear side opposite a front side of the head, and a surface formed contiguously at a right angle to a proximal portion of a head. thin-walled annular peripheral portion formed by such a cut can be used as the opposite face portion. In addition, there is no problem in forming the opposing portion by a constitutional portion other than a surface. In the present invention, a type C retaining ring or a type E retaining ring can be used as the retaining ring.
    In the present invention, "the spring urges the pusher towards the outside of the housing" means that the spring urges the pusher upward in a case where the pusher is provided to be pushed from a front surface of the housing , or the means that the spring urges the pusher outward in a case where the pusher is pushed from a side surface of the housing.
    In the present invention, when the locking member is rotatably operated by a user or the like, the locking member is moved between an unlocked position and a locked position in addition to a change in the engagement. gearing between the female threaded portion of the locking member and the male threaded portion of the tube.
    In a state where the locking member is moved to an unlocked position, the unlocking portion of the locking member is remote from the stop portion of the tube. In addition to such an operation, in the same state, the back surface of the recess, which the locking member has, is remote from the opposite-facing portion of the head that the pusher has. As a result, the pusher can perform a push operation. By using the push rod pushed, a button response member such as a contact, for example, arranged in the interior of the housing can be operated.
    In a state where the locking member is moved to a locked position, the bottom surface of the recess for the button push that the locking member has is close to or is brought into contact with the part making opposite side of the head that the pusher has. As a result, the bottom surface of the recess for the push button operates as a stop and holds the pusher so that the pusher is not pushed.
    In addition to such an operation, in a state where the locking member is moved to a locked position, the locking portion of the locking member is brought into contact with the stop portion of the tube. Since the tube insertion sleeve is attached to the housing, possibly because of engagement (engagement) between the locking portion and the stop portion, the locking member is held on the housing in a position state such that further separation of the locking element from the housing is avoided.
    Accordingly, even when a user or the like is trying to further rotate the locking member which is moved to a locked position, it is possible to prevent the locking member from being rotated in the wrong direction. That is, it is possible to avoid an erroneous operation of the locking member which is moved to a locked position.
    In this case, even when it is assumed that a minute rotation of the locking member is permitted due to a play in the gear engagement to a threaded engaged portion between the female threaded portion. and the male threaded portion, a force that pretends to move the locking member is supported by the housing as a tube. As a result, it is possible to prevent the back surface of the recess from pushing hard the oppositely facing portion of the pusher.
    Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent an overload is applied to the retaining ring as a pusher and therefore it is possible to eliminate a possibility that the ring of retainer will be deformed and will be pulled inside the tube.
    The preferred embodiment of the portable apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that, in the invention mentioned above, the spacing distance B is greater than the spacing distance A.
    In this preferred embodiment, in a state where the locking member is positioned by the stop portion, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the recess and the opposite side portion of the pusher. Accordingly, even when there is a clearance in the gear engagement between the male threaded portion of the tube and the female threaded portion of the locking member and the locking member arranged at a locked position is operated from rotatively in the wrong direction due to such play, there is no possibility that the locking member pushes the opposing facing portion of the pusher. As a result, it is possible to more safely eliminate a possibility that the retaining ring will be deformed and will be pulled inside the tube.
    The preferred embodiment of the portable device according to the present invention is characterized in that the stop portion consists of a ring arranged as a separate part of the outer sleeve, and allows the rod and the spring of pass through, said ring being screwed removably with the outer sleeve.
    In this preferred embodiment, in the invention mentioned above, removing the stop portion that the tube includes from the outer sleeve of the tube attached to the housing, the locking member including the locking portion which is contact with or is separated from the stop portion may be removed from the outer sleeve. As a result, the portion threadedly engaged between the male threaded portion and the female threaded portion can be detached and cleaned.
    The preferred embodiment of the portable apparatus according to the present invention is, in the invention mentioned above, further characterized in that the outer sleeve includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion which is formed in a continuous manner with the large diameter portion, the male threaded portion is formed on the large diameter portion, another male threaded portion having a smaller diameter than the male threaded portion is formed on the small diameter portion, and the portion stop is screwed to said other male threaded portion.
    In the preferred embodiment, the stop portion is threadably engaged with the outer periphery of the small diameter portion of the outer sleeve and therefore an inner diameter of the locking member which covers the portion stopping can be decreased where an outer diameter of the locking element can be also decreased proportionally. Accordingly, by including the portable apparatus as a portable apparatus where an outer diameter of a manually operated rotating lock member is required to be small such as, for example, a portable timepiece having a small thickness, this mode of the present invention is preferably applicable to the portable apparatus.
    In the preferred embodiment of the portable device according to the present invention it is, in the invention mentioned above, characterized in that the outer peripheral diameter of the outer sleeve is constant along the outer sleeve, the threaded portion. male is formed over the entire length of the outer sleeve, and the locking member and the stop portion are screwed onto said male threaded portion.
    In this preferred embodiment, the stop portion is threadably engaged with the male threaded portion which defines the outermost diameter of the outer sleeve and therefore, the inner diameter of the locking member which covers the stop portion becomes as wide where the outer diameter of the locking member becomes as wide. Accordingly, by including the portable apparatus as a portable apparatus where an outer diameter of a manually operated rotating lock member is required to be wide such as, for example, a portable timepiece having a wide thickness, this mode of the present invention is preferably applicable to the portable apparatus.
    Together with such an advantageous effect, a torque by rotating the locking member is increased so that the operability of the locking member can be improved. Without worrying about improving the operability of the locking element, it is possible to prevent a force which draws the retaining ring towards the inside of the tube from being applied to the pusher as described above. . In addition, it is sufficient to perform a wire-forming work toward the outer periphery of the outer sleeve of the tube only once and therefore, the working cost of the tube can be reduced.
    The preferred embodiment of the portable apparatus according to the present invention is, in the invention mentioned above, further characterized in that the tapping is formed on the inner periphery of the locking portion.
    In this preferred mode, it is possible to omit the work to form a locking portion on the locking member further to the female threaded portion parallel to the female threaded portion. As a result, a lock element work cost can be reduced.
    The preferred embodiment of the portable device according to the present invention is, in the invention mentioned above, further characterized in that a mark is mounted on the head of the pusher, the mark being exposed from one end. distal of the locking member in a state where the locking member is positioned by being brought into contact with the housing and being covered by the distal end portion of the locking member in a state where the portion of the locking member locking is brought into contact with the stop portion.
    In this preferred mode, when the pusher is pushed against the spring, the mark on the head is removably arranged within the locking member. On the other hand, when the pusher is removed due to spring force, the mark on the head is arranged outside of the locking member. Accordingly, using such a mark, it is possible to inform a user of the completion of the thrust of the pusher or whether or not the pusher is able to be pushed.
    To achieve the object mentioned above, a portable timepiece according to the present invention is a portable device as defined above.
    According to the present invention, the portable timepiece according to the present invention is a portable device as defined above. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the portable timepiece which can, in a state where a locking member is moved to a locked position where the push of a pusher is avoided, to prevent the locking element from being operated rotatively excessively by mistake.
    According to the present invention, the portable apparatus or the portable timepiece is configured so that when the locking member is moved to a locked position where the locking member avoids thrust of the pusher, the locking member is positioned on the housing as a tube attached to the housing thus avoiding additional movement of the locking member. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the portable apparatus or the portable timepiece which can prevent the locking element in a state where the locking element is moved to the locked position is operated excessively rotatively by error.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0043] The first embodiment of the present invention is explained in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 4.
    In figs. 1 to 4, a symbol 11 indicates a portable device such as a portable timepiece, to be more specific, a wristwatch which is used as a waterproof timepiece. The timepiece 11 includes a case, for example a timepiece case 12.
    As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, inside the outer timepiece body 12, predetermined members are accommodated. The predetermined members include: a bulletin board such as a dial 13, for example; a device which controls a display such as a movement 14 which controls the movement of the hands indicating the time, for example; a lamp not shown in the drawing; and a battery not shown in the drawing which is intended as a source of energy.
    The movement 14 includes at least one, for example, two button response members, for example, contacts 15 (only one contact shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4). Each contact 15 is formed of a leaf spring or the like and projects from the outer periphery of the movement 14. The movement 14 or the like is configured to perform a function assigned to the respective pushers 61 when the contact 15 is pushed by the pusher 61 described later. For example, the pusher 61 shown in FIG. 1 and in a right upper side of FIG. 2 plays an on / off function, and the pusher 61 shown in FIG. 1 and in a right upper side of FIG. 2 plays a function by turning the lamp on or off.
    As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the outer timepiece body 12 is formed so that a protective glass 22 which allows the viewing of the dial 13 in a translucent manner is mounted in a liquid-tight manner on a front surface of a middle part 21, which is made of metal such as stainless steel or titanium, and a rear cover 23 which is made of metal, a synthetic resin or the like is mounted in a liquid-tight manner on a rear surface of the middle part 21 .
    In figs. 3 and 4, the symbol 25 indicates an intermediate frame that supports movement 14 thereon. In addition, in figs. 3 and 4, the symbols 26 and 27 respectively indicate a lining for holding the liquid tightness of the outer body of the timepiece 12. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the symbol 28 indicates a crown.
    Then, the constitution where the pushers 61 described later are arranged on predetermined parts of the outer body of the timepiece 12, for example, two parts of the middle part 21 which constitute a side wall of the outer body of the timepiece 12 are explained. The two pushers 61 have the same constitution and are also arranged on the outer body of the timepiece 12 in the same way. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the explanation is made by taking, as the representative example, the constitution where the pusher 61 having a function of switching on / off the lamp which illuminates the dial 13 is arranged on the middle part 21 together with figs. 3 and 4.
    The caseband 21 includes a recess 31 and a through hole 33. The recess 31 is formed so that the recess 31 opens on an outer surface of the middle part (outer surface of the outer body) 21a of the middle part 21. The through hole 33 is formed so that one end of the through hole 33 opens on a rear surface of the recess 31 and the other end of the through hole 33 opens on an inner surface of the outer part body. watchmaking 12, for example, an inner surface of middle (inner surface of the outer body) 21b. The recess 31 and the through hole 33 having a smaller diameter than the recess 31 have a circular shape and are concentrically arranged.
    A circular tube 35 is fixed on the middle part 21. The tube 35 is made of metal such as stainless steel or titanium, and is formed of an insertion sleeve 36 and an outer sleeve 37 which is formed integrally with the insertion sleeve 36. A diameter of a distal end portion of the insertion sleeve 36 is narrowed. Here, when a stopper portion 40 described later is integrally formed with the tube 35, material for forming the tube 35 is not limited to the metal and can be formed using a synthetic resin as a material thereof.
    The male threaded portions 38, 39 and the stop portion 40 are formed on the outer periphery of the outer sleeve 37.
    The outer sleeve 37 includes a large diameter portion 37a and a small diameter portion 37b which is formed continuously with the large diameter portion 37a. The large diameter portion 37a has a larger diameter than the larger outer diameter of the insertion sleeve 36, and is formed continuously with the insertion sleeve 36.
    The small diameter portion 37b is formed continuously with the large diameter portion 37a on a side opposite to the insertion sleeve 36 with the large diameter portion 37a set as a limit. An outer diameter of the small diameter portion 37b is substantially equal to the largest outer diameter of the insertion sleeve 36. A groove accommodating the liner 37c is formed on an inner surface of the outer sleeve 37, and the groove accommodating the liner 37c opens on a distal end of the outer sleeve 37.
    The insertion sleeve 36 of the tube 35 is inserted into the through hole 33 from outside the middle part 21. In this case, the insertion sleeve 36 is inserted into the through hole 33 until the large-diameter portion 37a is brought into contact with a rear surface 31a of the recess 31, and the narrow-diameter distal end portion of the insertion sleeve 36 projects inside the middle part 21, for example . The tube 35 is attached to the middle part 21 using a brazing material 34 made of metal. The brazing material 34 is inserted into an annular groove formed on a corner portion which is formed by the rear surface 31a of the recess 31 and the through hole 33.
    The outer sleeve 37 of the tube 35 which is fixed to the outer body of the timepiece 12 as described above is positioned towards a central portion of the recess 31 and is arranged outside the middle part 21 , that is to say, outside the outer body of the timepiece 12. The male threaded portion 38 is formed of an outer peripheral portion of the large diameter portion 37a of the outer sleeve 37. male threaded portion 38 is provided for advancing and retreating a locking member 51 described later in the axial direction. In addition, another male threaded portion 39 is formed on an outer peripheral portion of the small diameter portion 37b of the outer sleeve 37. Another male threaded portion 39 is provided for mounting the stop portion 40 on the outer sleeve. 37.
    The stop portion 40 is formed of a separate portion of an outer sleeve 37, for example. The stop portion 40 is formed of a ring which is made of metal and has a center hole 40a, and has an outer diameter thereof wider than an outer diameter of the male threaded portion 38. A diameter of the hole center 40a is substantially equal to a diameter of an open end of a groove accommodating the liner 37c.
    A tapping 41 is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the stop portion 40. Threadly engaging the tapping 41 with another male threaded portion 39 formed on the distal end portion of the outer sleeve 37, the stop portion 40 is mounted so that the stop portion 40 covers the distal end portion of the outer sleeve 37. In this case, a rear wall of the stop portion 40 is brought into contact with the distal end of the outer sleeve 37 and therefore, the stop portion 40 is positioned in the axial direction of the outer sleeve 37. The center hole 40a of the stop portion 40 which is mounted as described above is formed of continuous manner with the groove accommodating the liner 37c.
    The grooves 42 are formed on an outer surface of the rear wall of the stop portion 40, and the grooves 42 are formed to intersect with each other in a cruciform. The stop portion 40 can be rotated into a state where a tool is engaged with the grooves 42. Accordingly, the stop portion 40 is removably threadedly engaged with the outer sleeve 37.
    The locking element 51 which covers the outer sleeve 37 is displaceably mounted on the outer sleeve 37 so that the locking element 51 is displaceable in the axial direction of the tube 35.
    To be more specific, the locking member 51 is formed of a metal ring having a small diameter portion 51a and a large diameter portion 51b for an outer peripheral surface of the locking member 51 is formed in a stepped form.

    The intermediate recess 54 is formed between the female threaded portion 52 and the recess 53, and is formed continuously with a bottom surface 53a of the recess 53 at a right angle. Accordingly, the bottom surface 53a of the recess 53 forms a step between the inner peripheral surface of the recess 53 and the intermediate recess 54. An inner diameter of the recess 53 and an inner diameter of the intermediate recess 54 are wider than An inner diameter of the female threaded portion 52. The inner diameter of the recess 53 is a little wider than an outer diameter of a head 63 described later. The inner diameter of the intermediate recess 54 is smaller than the inner diameter of the recess 53 and is slightly larger than an outer diameter of the locking element 51.
    The locking portion 55 is provided between the female threaded portion 52 and the intermediate recess 54. The locking portion 55 is formed of an annular projection portion which is formed continuously in the circumferential direction of the element. lock 51 continuously and divides a rear of the intermediate recess 54.
    The locking element 51 is mounted on the outer sleeve 37 by threadably engaging the female threaded portion 52 thereof with the male threaded portion 38 of the tube 35, and covers the outer sleeve 37. The small diameter portion 51a of the locking member 51 is accommodated in the recess 31. The large diameter portion 51b of the locking member 51 is arranged outside the recess 31. In a state where the locking member 51 is supported on the tube 35 as described above, the locking portion 55 of the locking member 51 is arranged between the threadably engaging portion formed by the male threaded portion 38, the female threaded portion 52 and the portion of the threaded portion. stop 40.
    On the outer periphery of a distal end portion of the small diameter portion 51a, a dust and water seal 57 which seals a gap formed between the outer periphery and an inner peripheral surface of the hollow 31 is mounted. On the outer periphery of the large-diameter portion 51b, a plurality of grooves 56, which prevent the user's fingers from slipping when a user rotates the locking member 51 with his hand, are formed parallel to the axial direction. of the locking element 51.
    The pusher 61 is supported on the tube 35. The pusher 61 is an integrally formed product made of metal or a synthetic resin, and includes a rod 62 and the head 63.
    The rod 62 has a columnar shape, and a length of the rod 62 is wider than an axial length of the tube 35. The rod 62 passes through the tube 35 in an axially displaceable manner, and a ring retainer 64 which prevents the displacement of the pusher 61 from the tube 35 is mounted on a stem end portion (distal end portion) of the rod 62 which projects inwardly of the middle part 21. The ring retainer 64 is made of metal and is of a type C or type E, and has a size by which the retaining ring 64 is engaged with an end surface of the insertion sleeve 36 which projects towards the inside the middle part 21.
    An outer diameter of the head 63 which is integrally formed with the other stem end of the rod 62 is a little smaller than the inner diameter of the recess 53. The head 63 includes an opposing facing portion. 65. The oppositely facing portion 65 is formed of an end surface on a rear side of the head 63, for example. In addition, a mark 66 is mounted on the outer periphery of the head 63. The mark 66 is formed such that an annular groove is formed continuously on an outer peripheral surface of the head 63 in the circumferential direction of the head 63, and a different color paint of a background color of the metal from which the head 63 is made is applied to a bottom of the annular groove while painting.
    The rod 62 of the pusher 61 is inserted inside and is made to pass through the tube 35 from outside the middle part 21 and, below, the retaining ring 64 is mounted on the part rod end end of the rod 62 which projects inwardly of the middle part 21. Due to such a constitution, the pusher 61 is mounted on the tube 35 in a state where the movement of the pusher 61 from the tube 35 is avoided. In addition to such an assembly, the head 63 is arranged outside the timepiece outer body 12 in a state where the head 63 is inserted into the recess 53. Due to such an arrangement, the part Opposite facing face 65 faces bottom surface 53a of recess 53.
    In the groove accommodating the lining 37c of the tube 35, at least one dust and water-proof lining 71, for example, a plurality of lining 71 are accommodated so that the lining 71 is arranged parallel to the liner. to each other in the axial direction of the tube 35. Each liner 71 is formed in a ring shape using an elastically deformable material based on rubber or plastic base. The liner 71 is brought into close contact with a peripheral surface of the shank 62. Due to the seals 71, a hole formed between the tube 35 and the pusher 61 is sealed.
    In addition, a stuffing sprout 72 is accommodated in the accomodation groove 37c, and the shirring 72 is brought into contact with the outermost lining 71. A spring, for example, a helical spring 73 is clamped between the trim sprout 72 and the head 63 in a compressed state. The coil spring 73 can be further compressed by pushing the pusher 61.
    Due to a spring force of the coil spring 73, the pusher 61 is biased outwardly of the outer body of timepiece 12, to be more specific, outwardly of the middle part 21. Due of such a constitution, the retaining ring 64 is held in a state where the retaining ring 64 is caught by an end surface of the tube 35 which projects inwardly of the timepiece outer body 12 A spring force of the coil spring 73 pushes the respective gaskets 71 into the interior of the timepiece outer body 12 and, therefore, these gaskets 71 are more strongly brought into close contact with the rod 62 thus improving the property of sealing.
    Then, the explanation is made with respect to the steps of the various mounting parts around the tube 35 which is fixed to the middle part 21.
    First, the female threaded portion 52 of the locking member 51 is threadably engaged with the male threaded portion 38 of the tube 35 until the distal end of the small diameter portion 51a of the locking element 51 is brought into contact with the rear surface 31a of the recess 31 thus covering the outer sleeve 37 of the tube 35 with the locking element 51.
    Then, the female threaded portion 41 of the stop portion 40 is threadably engaged with the male threaded portion 39 of the tube 35 until the stop portion 40 is brought into contact with the end portion. distal of the outer sleeve 37 thus raising the stop portion 40 on the distal end portion of the outer sleeve 37. Here, to prevent the stop portion 40 from being turned involuntarily after the stop portion 40 is mounted, it is preferable to secure the female threaded portion 41 to the male threaded portion 39 by adhesion by applying an adhesive material to the female threaded portion 41 before the stopping portion 40 is threadably engaged. In such a case, it is preferable to adjust an adhesive force in proportions that the threaded engagement between the female threaded portion 41 and the male threaded portion 39 can be released if necessary.
    Finally, the pusher 61 is mounted. That is, the coil spring 73, the packing push 72, and the packing 71 are inserted on the rod 62 of the pusher 61 in this order and, below, the rod 62 is made to pass through the tube 35 from the outside of the middle part 21 by compressing the helical spring 73. In addition to such an operation, the helical spring 73 and the rod 62 are made to pass deeply through the center hole 40a of the stop portion 40 Then, the retaining ring 64 is mounted on the distal end portion of the rod 62 which projects inwardly of the middle part 21 thereby preventing the displacement of the pusher 61.
    In addition, the movement of the parts around the tube 35 by disassembling and cleaning the wristwatch 11 can be performed by taking the steps opposite to the climb steps explained previously. Accordingly, by moving the parts around the tube 35, the female threaded portion 41 and the male threaded portion 39 can be cleaned, and a portion such as the pad 71 can be exchanged.
    In the wristwatch 11 having the constitution mentioned above, in a usual state where the pusher 61 is usable, the pusher 61 is arranged to an unlocked position shown in FIG. 3 by the helical spring 73 which urges the pusher 61 in the direction opposite to the thrust direction of the pusher 61 and is held in a state that can be pushed. In this case, the retaining ring 64 is caught by the distal end portion of the insertion sleeve 36 thus avoiding the displacement of the pusher 61.
    In addition to such a constitution, in the usual state, the locking member 51 is threadedly engaged with the tube 35 to a lowest position so that the distal end of the small part diameter 51a is brought into contact with the rear surface 31a of the recess 31 formed on the outer timepiece body 12. Accordingly, the locking member 51 is in a state where the locking member 51 is positioned by the middle part 21 of the external body of timepiece 12.
    In addition, in addition to the threaded engagement of the locking member 51 with the tube 35 to a lower position, the major part of the head 63 of the pusher 61 projects outwardly of the element lock 51 relative to the locking member 51 and therefore, a user can visually recognize the mark 66. Accordingly, a user who visually recognizes the mark 66 knows that the pusher 61 is a state that can be pushed.
    In such a usual state, the locking portion 55 of the locking element 51 is arranged close to the male threaded portion 38 of the tube 35, and is the most remote from the stop portion 40 of the tube 35. Assume a spacing distance between the stop portion 40 and the locking portion 55 which faces the stop portion 40 in an opposite manner in a state such as A. Because of such a distance of spacing A, in the usual state mentioned above, the bottom surface 53a of the recess 53, that the locking member 51 has, is the farthest away from the opposite facing portion 65 that the head 63 of the pusher 61a. Assume a spacing distance between the bottom surface 53a and the oppositely facing portion 65 in a state such as B. The spacing distance A and the spacing distance B in the usual state are set to meet the ratio of A <B, and, in the first embodiment, the spacing distance A and the spacing distance B are set to satisfy the ratio of A <B as a preferred example.
    By adjusting the spacing distance A and the spacing distance B as described above, the pusher 61 can be pushed. A push of the pusher 61 is defined at least by the spacing distance A out of the spacing distance A and the spacing distance B.
    When the pusher 61 is pushed into the outer body of the timepiece 12 from outside the middle part 21 against a spring force of the coil spring 73, the distal end 62a of the rod 62 pushes the contact Which is arranged as to face the distal end 62a in an opposite manner. Due to such a push operation, the movement 14 is operated so that a function assigned to the pusher 61 is performed. Hereinafter, in addition to the output of the thrust of the pusher 61, the pusher 61 is pushed back to an original state by a spring force of the helical spring 73.
    In addition, to prevent the pusher 61 from being pushed involuntarily during the wearing of the wristwatch 11 or the like, it is sufficient to turn the locking element 51 in the direction in which the locking element 51 is released. The gear engagement between the male threaded portion 39 and the female threaded portion 52 is changed in addition to such rotation and therefore, the locking member 51 is moved in the axial direction so that the lock 51 is remote from the rear surface 31a of the recess 31 and projects from the middle part 21 of the external body of timepiece 12.
    Such a movement of the locking member 51 is avoided when the locking member 51 is brought into contact with a stop portion 40 of the tube 35 in a state where the locking portion 55 of the locking member locking 51 is caught by the stop portion 40 of the tube 35 so that the more rotational operation of the locking member 51 is not allowed. Fig. 4 shows a state where the locking member 51 is moved to a locked position. In this state, when the pusher 61 receives a pushing force, because of the contact between the oppositely facing portion 65 of the head 63 and the bottom surface 53a of the recess 53, the push of the pusher 61 is avoided.
    In addition, since the locking element 51 projects the deepest relative to the middle part 21 because of the rotation of this, the majority of the head 63 of the pusher 61 is accommodated inside the recess 53 of the locking member 51 relatively so that the mark 66 is concealed by the large diameter portion 51b which constitutes the distal end portion of the locking member 51. Since the mark 66 is concealed in this manner, a user knows that the pusher 61 is in a state where the pusher 61 can not be pushed.
    The tube 35 is fixed to the middle part 21 of the outer body of the timepiece 12 by brazing. Accordingly, a load that is applied to the stop portion 40 when the locking member 51 is moved to a locked position can be supported by the middle portion 21 as a tube 35. Accordingly, the stop portion 40 is not moved. In addition, the stop portion 40 and the locking portion 55 are formed continuously in the circumferential direction without interruption and therefore these portions have a considerably greater force compared to the retaining ring 64 where these portions are difficult. distorted. As a result, there is no possibility that the stop portion 40 and the locking portion 55 will be deformed.
    As a result, the reliability that the stop portion 40 and the locking portion 55 stop the axial movement of the locking member 51 when the locking member 51 is arranged at the locked position is high. Due to such a stop with high reliability, it is possible to more clearly inform a user of a time that the rotary operation of the locking member 51 is finished. In addition, an outer diameter of the large diameter portion 37a of the locking member 51 may be enlarged due to such improved reliability. By adopting such a constitution, the operability in the rotation of the locking member 51 can be further improved.
    In addition, in the first embodiment, the spacing distance B is set wider than the spacing distance A. As a result, in a state where the locking portion 55 is caught by the part of stop 40 so that the locking member 51 is arranged in a locked position, as shown in FIG. 4, a slight gap g is provided between the bottom surface 53a of the recess 53 and the opposite face portion 65 of the head 63.
    It is considered that a displacement amount of the locking element 51 in the direction where the locking element 51 is remote from the middle part 21 becomes a little increased because of irregularities in a precision of size of the male threaded portion 38 of the tube 31 and the female threaded portion 52 of the locking member 51, irregularities in the fixed position of the stop portion 40 relative to the tube 35 and the like. However, even in such a state, due to the presence of the gap g, it is possible to prevent the bottom surface 53a from being brought into contact with the opposite face portion 65 and consequently the locking 51 can be held in a state where the locking element 51 does not interfere with the head 63 of the pusher 61.
    As described above, the excessively large rotational operation of the locking member 51 can be avoided, and also even when some irregularities exist in a displacement amount of the locking member 51, there is no need for it. There is no possibility that the locking element 51 which is moved to a locked position interferes with the head 63 of the pusher 61 so that the pusher 61 is pushed outwardly of the middle part 21.
    Due to such a constitution, there is no possibility that the retaining ring 64 mounted on the rod 62 is pulled inside the tube 35 in addition to the deformation of the ring of Retention 64. Therefore, there is no possibility that the pusher 61 is unintentionally removed. Accordingly, the mechanism mentioned above can improve the reliability as a locking mechanism for the pusher 61 in a watertight timepiece such as a watch of divers.
    As described above, there is no possibility that the retaining ring 64 is pulled inside the tube 35 and therefore, there is no possibility that an operation of pushing of the pusher 61 is obstructed in a state where the locking member 51 is returned to an unlocked position. As a result, a push operation of the pusher 61 can be smoothly performed.
    As has been explained so far, the outer sleeve 37 of the tube 35 includes the large diameter portion 37a and the small diameter portion 37b which is formed continuously with the large diameter portion 37a, the threaded portion. male 38 is formed on the large diameter portion 37a, the other male threaded portion 39 having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the male threaded portion 38 is formed on the small diameter portion 37b, and the stopping portion 40 is threadably engaged with the other male threaded portion 39.
    As described above, the stop portion 40 is threadably engaged with the outer periphery of the small diameter portion 37b of the outer sleeve 37. Accordingly, an inner diameter of the intermediate recess 54 formed on the locking member 51 which covers the stop portion 40 may be smaller and, therefore, an outer diameter of the locking member 51 may be proportionally smaller. The constitution mentioned above is preferably applicable to a wristwatch having a small thickness that includes the pusher 61 and is required to adjust an outer diameter of the small locking member 51.
    FIG. 5 shows the second embodiment of the present invention. The constitution of the second embodiment is equal to the constitution of the first embodiment except for the constitution explained hereinafter. Consequently, in the second embodiment, the constitutions identical with the constitutions of the first embodiment or the constitutions having the same functions as the constitutions of the first embodiment give the same symbols as the first embodiment, and the explanation of these constitutions is omitted.
    In the second embodiment, an outer peripheral diameter of an outer sleeve 37 of a tube 35 is equal to the respective portions of the outer sleeve 37, and a male threaded portion 38 is formed on the outer sleeve 37 on a substantially total length of the outer sleeve 37. That is, the small diameter portion and the male threaded portion formed on the small diameter portion explained in conjunction with the first embodiment are omitted in the second embodiment.
    In the second embodiment, a stop portion 40 is threadably engaged with the male threaded portion 38 formed on a distal end portion of the outer sleeve 37.

As a result, a working cost of the tube 35 can be reduced.
    Secondly, the stop portion 40 is threadably engaged with the male threaded portion 38 and therefore an outer diameter of the stop portion 40 is wider than an outer diameter of the male threaded portion 38 that is, a larger outer diameter of the tube 35. Accordingly, an intermediate recess 54 formed on the locking member 51 which covers the stop portion 40 has a large internal diameter, and locking member 51 also has a large outer diameter corresponding to the large inner diameter of intermediate recess 54.
