    Description TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an object intended to be worn on the wrist. More specifically, the present invention relates to an object comprising a housing enclosing a labyrinth visible behind an ice, said labyrinth comprising a labyrinth tray on which a ball can roll along a path delimited by walls mounted on said labyrinth tray.
    STATE OF THE ART [0002] Of the objects intended to be worn on the wrist, indicating whether or not the time or any other temporal indication, objects having a playful function are encountered. This is the case of labyrinth games arranged inside a housing, including a case having a middle, a bottom and an ice. Such a case can have horns for mounting a bracelet.
    [0003] Document DE 9 410 192 U1 describes a watch with a dial carrying a labyrinth with a sinuous path along which the ball can roll with a round trip. The game side is relatively limited since the ball follows a predefined path, the wearer of the watch can only change the direction of the advance of the ball along this path.
    [0004] CN 2016 00 564 U relates to a watch comprising a casing enclosing a labyrinth superimposed on the dial carrying the needles, one of which can be seen through the other, it follows a playful visual as an image for the dial. The ball can travel different paths possible along the path delimited by this labyrinth. However, once the ball is out through the exit hole, a complex reversal maneuver of the watch is necessary to bring the ball back onto the labyrinth tray and thus engage a new part. Indeed, when the watch is attached to the wrist, it is difficult to proceed with this maneuver without detaching the wrist watch.
    BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an object intended to be worn on the wrist comprising a housing enclosing a labyrinth visible behind an ice free of the limitations of watches and / or other objects intended to be worn. wrist known.
    Another object of the invention is to provide an object to be worn on the wrist comprising a housing containing a labyrinth, which allows to easily replace the ball on the labyrinth tray.
    Another object of the invention is to provide an object intended to be worn on the wrist comprising a housing containing a labyrinth, which allows to go up the ball on the labyrinth tray without turning or other movement of the entire housing.
    According to the invention, these objects are achieved in particular by means of the object defined by the main claim, the dependent claims relating to preferred embodiments.
    This solution has the advantage over the prior art of not requiring to place said object by separating the wrist to use the labyrinth, whether to play to advance the ball according to the desired course, but especially when the ball is out of the labyrinth tray by an orifice and it is to put it back on the board to engage a new part.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES [0010] An exemplary implementation of the invention is indicated in the description illustrated by the appended figures in which: FIG. 1 is seen in projection from the front of an object that can be worn on the wrist according to the invention, with a case bearing horns adapted to cooperate with a bracelet; fig. 2 illustrates the contents of the housing of the object of FIG. 1, projection from the front, after disassembly and removal of some elements, including the labyrinth, FIG. 3 is a perspective view from the front of the housing contents according to FIG. 2, FIG. 4 illustrates the contents of the housing according to FIG. 2, projecting from the rear, FIG. 5 illustrates the elevating system in perspective from the rear, FIG. 6 illustrates the elevator system of FIG. 5 in perspective from the front, FIG. 7 illustrates the lifting system of FIGS. 5 and 6, from the front (in the direction VII of Fig. 6), fig. 8 illustrates in side projection the lift system of FIGS. 5 and 6, from the direction VIII of FIG. 5, and FIG. 9 also illustrates in side projection the lift system of FIGS. 5 and 6, from the direction IX of FIG. 7.
    Example (s) of embodiment of the invention [0011] In the embodiment shown in the figures, the object 10 comprises a housing 20 enclosing a labyrinth 30. The housing 20 conforms to that of a watch, and has a middle part 21 with an ice-cream 22. As can be seen in FIG. 1, in this object intended to be worn on the wrist, there is therefore a housing 20 enclosing a labyrinth 30 visible behind the window 22.
    Furthermore, said labyrinth 30 comprises a labyrinth plate 32 on which a ball 40 can roll along a path 31 delimited by walls 33 mounted on said labyrinth tray 32. This is how we can say that said labyrinth tray 32 forms the dial behind said mirror 22. In a general manner, said plate 32 comprises, along said path 31, at least one orifice 34, 35 for the exit and / or the entry of the ball 40 relative to the labyrinth 30. This output of the ball is made by gravity, when the ball 40 drops through said orifice 34 or 35. Said orifice (here the two orifices) 34, 35 communicate with a receiving space 42 disposed behind the labyrinth 30. As can be seen in figs. 2 and 3, this reception space 42 forms an upwardly open groove and is delimited between two concave wall portions which face each other, respectively a wall portion 51 of a central bridge 50 and a wall portion 61 of a plate 60.
    As will be explained in more detail in the following, according to the invention, said object further comprises a lifting system 70 (see Figs 5 to 9) adapted to remount said ball 40 by said orifice 34 or 35 since said receiving space 42 to said path 31. It is understood that said receiving space 42 is located opposite the orifices 34 and 35 (see Fig. 1), ie directly above the orifices 34 and 35.
    Preferably, said elevator system 70 is entirely mechanical.
    Furthermore, advantageously, the elevator system 70 comprises a control portion 72 disposed outside the housing 20 and adapted to be activated manually, in particular by the wearer of the object. In this way, no energy input is needed. Thus, in the embodiment shown, the control portion 72 comprises a control knob 72a (FIG 1) that can be operated by rotating between the thumb and the index finger, and a control rod 72b (see FIGS. 2 to 9) extending the control knob 72a into the housing 20 in the manner of a winding stem.
    In addition, the elevator system 70 comprises a support for retaining the ball in said receiving space, said elevator system being arranged so that the activation of the control portion 72 can bring the ball 40 in the labyrinth 30 through said orifice 34 or 35 by approaching said support 74 and said labyrinth tray 30. In practice it is the support 74 or the portion of the support forming the bottom of the receiving space which approaches the plate 32, in particular, which goes up towards the plate 32 (the support 74 of Fig. 2 rises towards the observer to raise the ball 40 when it is in the reception space 42).
    In other words, said receiving space 42 forms an open cage towards said orifice 34 (and 35) and comprises, in the direction opposite to said orifice at least a portion 74 of said support, which forms the movable bottom of said the cage.
    In the embodiment shown, said elevator system 74 further comprises an annular cam 76 provided with an annular ramp 76a forming said support 74 above. Said ramp 76a having a variable height along its circumference, the activation of the control portion 72 allowing the rotation of said annular cam 76 and thus the passage of an angular sector of the ramp 76a which varies, different from the previous position at the bottom of the reception area. The minimum height h1 (see Figs 6 and 9) of the ramp 76a makes it possible, when the corresponding portion forms the bottom of the receiving space 42, a receiving space deep enough to completely house the ball 40. A on the other hand, the maximum height H 1 (see FIGS. 6 and 9) of the ramp 76 a makes it possible, when the corresponding portion forms the bottom of the reception space 42, to have a reception space which is not deep enough for fully accommodate the ball 40, the bulk of the diameter of the ball, see more than 80% of the diameter of the ball above the labyrinth tray: in this position, the ball 40 is raised in the labyrinth.
    [0019] Preferably, the height varies continuously along the annular ramp 76a. Preferably the annular ramp 76a has a single location having the maximum height H1 and a single location having the minimum height h1. In another configuration, the height of the annular ramp 76a varies in stages, forming a stepped surface.
    In practice, when the wearer of the object uses the labyrinth clearance, he must first dispose or place the annular ramp 76a in an angular position such that it is not the angular sector of the highest portion of the annular ramp 76a which forms the support 74 or bottom of the receiving space 42, thereby allowing the ball 40 to fall into the orifice 34 or 35. Then, to effect the return of the ball 40 into the labyrinth 30, by raising to a height allowing the ball 40 to reach the top of the plate 32 and to roll on the plate 32, the carrier of the object 10 places the annular ramp 76a in an angular position such that it is the angular sector of the highest portion of the annular ramp 76a which forms the support 74 or bottom of the receiving space 42.
    It should be noted that other lifting systems are possible, with other types of cam arrangements, or springboard, with elastic elements of the blade type or spring maneuvers so as to bring the ball 40 on the plateau Labyrinth 30.
    In the embodiment shown, said annular cam 76 is guided in rotation by three roller bearings 77.
    Furthermore, said annular cam 76 further includes an internal toothing 76b, wherein said elevator system 70 further comprises a gear train 78, 79 disposed between the control portion 72 and said internal toothing 76b, and adapted to to cooperate on the one hand with the control portion 72 and on the other hand with said internal toothing 76b.
    For this purpose, as can be seen in Figs. 5 to 9, said control portion 72 includes a winding stem 72b, said gear train 78,79 having a bevel gear 78 mounted on the end of said rod 72b disposed in the housing 20 and a gearwheel 79 for returning cooperating with both said bevel gear 78 and with said internal toothing 76b of the annular cam.
    In the embodiment shown, as seen in FIG. 1, said labyrinth tray has two orifices 34 and 35 for the entry and / or exit of the ball with respect to said labyrinth 30. These two orifices 34 and 35 are separated by at least a portion of the labyrinth wall 33. These two orifices 34 and 35 are placed close to each other. Preferably, these two orifices 34 and 35 are separated from each other by a distance between once and 10 times the thickness of the walls 33 delimiting the path of the labyrinth 30.
    Thus, if the ball falls through the hole 34 on the left in FIG. 1, the rotation of the control knob 72a can allow its up through the same hole 34 or the other hole 35, in the direction of this rotation.
    Although the description above relates to the particular case of a housing that has no watch movement, the present invention can also be applied to the case of a housing containing a watch movement. In the latter case, not shown, the casing also contains a watch movement, a dial and at least one indicator element set in motion by the watch movement, the position of the indicating element relative to the dial indicating the time or any other time indication.
    The present invention also relates to an object further comprising a bracelet connected to said housing 20 (case not shown). In this case, the said object forms a bracelet-game, which can in particular form a wristwatch.
    In one possible embodiment, said ball 40 and / or at least a portion of the labyrinth 30 (plate 32 and / or wall 33) is made of a precious metal and / or comprises precious stones, this by what said object forms a jewel. By way of a precious metal, is meant in particular, without limitation, gold, platinum, silver or a metal containing more than 50 of at least one of these metals.
    In a not shown embodiment of this object intended to be worn on the wrist, the housing 20 encloses not only the labyrinth 30 with the labyrinth tray 32, but also a pinball. In this case, to have this additional pinball function, the arrangement is able to allow the ball 40 not only to roll along the path 31, but also to be returned in another direction by a spring (or another elastic member such as a leaf spring) when the ball 40 strikes said spring or other elastic element. This return occurs with or without rebound. Another possibility, additional or not to the aforementioned effect of returning the ball by an elastic element, lies in the formation of a recess or recess delimited (e) by the walls 33 mounted on said labyrinth tray 32 , by the labyrinth plate 32 and the ice 22. This recess allows the entry and exit of the ball by its opening. This recess may be in particular a hollow which is concave, for example U-shaped, C-shaped or any other shape essentially formed of curved lines, this shape resulting from the arrangement (of the position, the length and the shape of the course) of one or more portions of the walls 33. This niche allows the benefit of points (can be displayed on the dial by a dedicated mention) or, if it is associated with another hole through the plate 32, a playful expulsion of the ball out of the game board 32 before the ball could reach the exit through one of the inlet / outlet ports 34, 35. Such a pinball function adds additional gameplay to the wearer of said object intended to be worn on the wrist according to the present invention.
