    Description: [0001] The present invention relates to a wristwatch or pocket watch comprising a watch case, and an original display device, in particular a valve display device.
    [0002] In the state of the art, there are wristwatch watches including display devices, particularly of the hour, possessing original characteristics that stand out from traditional analog displays, which for the most part include an hour hand and a coaxial minute hand at the center of the movement.
    [0003] CH 704 602 describes a timepiece comprising a display module intended to display a series of alphanumeric characters and / or images at different times. The display module comprises a platform arranged to be actuated in rotation about an axis and several mobile arranged on the platform so that each mobile turns on itself while orbiting around the axis of rotation of said platform when it is actuated in rotation. The display module further comprises several fins arranged on each mobile to be positioned in turn in the center of the display module. Each fin of each mobile is actuated to be oriented in a plane substantially identical to the center of the display module and adjacent to each other to form a central display unit. Each fin has a part of an alphanumeric character or an image so that the central display unit, formed by several fins, can display, at any time, one of the alphanumeric characters and / or images.
    [0004] EP 1 705 535 describes a timepiece with a mechanism indicating a period of time comprising a solar mobile driven at the rate of one turn per multiple of this period of time, planetary mobiles whose respective axes of rotation. are equidistant around the axis of rotation of the solar mobile, a Maltese cross integral and coaxial with each planetary mobile and whose outer surfaces of the triangular arms are shaped to engage with a locking surface and a drive finger disposed in a clearance of said locking surface, on the path described by a radial division of each Maltese cross when it is engaged with said locking surface, to drive it step by step about its axis of rotation next to said clearance, a plurality of digits distributed on said planetary mobiles at equal angular distances corresponding to their training pitch and distributed to indicate a determined succession of said periods of time, each turn of the solar mobile and an angular distance of its trajectory corresponding to that separating said planetary mobiles.
    Another solution for an original display is the use of shutters. Flap displays are known in the prior art, particularly for use in airports, stations, or clocks. Patent FR 1 269 457 proposes a display consisting of cylinders with movable flaps containing any number of flaps. These models show information in a vertical orientation and, by gravity, lower flaps are held down and remain in position. Upper flaps can rest against pawls, the weight of the pawl providing sufficient force to prevent rotation due to its own weight. Such a display can not be incorporated into a wristwatch.
    The object of the present invention is to provide an original display device for the indication of information, including hours, offering different possibilities for displaying hours.
    According to the invention, a wristwatch or pocket watch comprises a watch case, and a display device comprising at least one hinged flap having a body portion of essentially flat shape, said flap being visible from the outside of the watch case. The display device further comprises at least one valve holder arranged in said watch case, the valve holder extending in a plane (x, y). The valve is mounted to rotate relative to the valve holder about an axis parallel to said plane (x, y) to pass from a first rest position where the valve is disposed in the plane (x, y) and where it hides information, at a second display position where the flap is raised relative to the plane (x, y) and where it reveals the information.
    In one embodiment, the hinged valve is articulated at one end or at its center or even to another part of the body of the valve.
    The valve holder may be a dial, a plate or a bridge or even a combination of these elements with for example a flap on a dial and a flap on a watch plate.
    In one embodiment, the body portion of the substantially flat form valve, in the rest position, is flush with the valve holder or extends above the valve door or below the flap door.
    Depending on the desired aesthetic, the valve has the shape of a flower, a heart, a skull or a geometric shape such as a polygon, a square, a triangle or a rectangle. These valve shapes can be combined or supplemented by other forms or any other decorative object.
    In one embodiment, the information is written either on a non-visible face of the valve when said valve is in the rest position, or on another part of the watch hidden by the valve in the rest position, such a dial or a disc arranged under a dial.
    In one embodiment, the watch comprises means for moving the valve from the first rest position to the second display position where the valve is raised. The displacement means may for example comprise a wire, a rod, and / or a cam.
    In another embodiment, the displacement means can be provided by the simple natural gravitation which would therefore move from the first rest position to the second display position where the valve is raised and vice versa.
    In one embodiment, the watch comprises means for holding the valve in its rest position and / or in its raised position.
    In a preferred embodiment, the information hidden by the valve indicates a time information, such as hours or minutes.
    In another embodiment, the information hidden by the flap indicates other information than the time, such as a calendar, or provide an alphabetical display, for example showing a plurality of place names, or a plurality of names of the months of the year or even an illustration.
    The time information may be a first time information for example hours, the watch further comprising a needle, moving relative to a scale, indicating another hourly information such as minutes.
    The characteristics of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the description of several embodiments given solely by way of example, in no way limiting with reference to the schematic figures, in which:
    Fig. 1 shows a front view of a wristwatch according to a first embodiment of the invention;
    Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a wristwatch according to a second embodiment of the present invention;
    Fig. 3 shows a partial side view of a valve in the rest position arranged on a watch face and means for moving and maintaining the valve;
    Fig. 4 shows a partial side view of another valve in the rest position arranged on a watch face and means for moving the valve; and
    Fig. 5 shows a partial side view of yet another valve, in half-open position, arranged on a watch plate.
    As illustrated in FIG. 1, a wristwatch has a first remote display 10 having two hands 9 indicating the information hours and minutes. The wristwatch further comprises a display device comprising a valve 1 in the open position, of rounded, articulated shape comprising a body portion of substantially flat shape. The valve 1 is visible from the outside of the watch case 2 through a lens 8. A valve holder 3, in the form of a watch face, is arranged in the watch case 2, the dial 3 is extending in a plane (x, y).
    The valve 1 is rotatably mounted relative to the dial 3 about an axis parallel to said plane (x, y) to pass from a first rest position (not shown) where the valve 1 is disposed in the plane (x, y) and where it hides information 4, at a second display position where the flap 1 is raised (FIG 1) relative to the plane (x, y) and where it reveals the information 4 representing in this example the power reserve.

    Claims (12)
    [1]
    In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the opening and closing of the valve 1 are on demand while in the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the valves 1 open and close in turn so that the only flap that is open displays the current time. In these two examples illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hinged valve 1 is hinged at one end. FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a valve 1 in the rest position arranged on a watch dial 3 and displacement means, in the form of a cam 6, and holding 7 of the valve 1 in the form of a spring. The cam 6 is arranged, moving in the direction A, to move the valve 1 from the first rest position to the second display position where the valve 1 is raised. Fig. 4 illustrates another example of a valve 1 visible through an ice-cream 8, in the rest position, arranged on a watch dial 3 and displacement means, in the form of a cam 6 arranged, moving in the direction A, to move the valve 1 from the first rest position to the second display position where the valve 1 is raised. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the body portion of the valve 1 of essentially flat shape, in the rest position of the valve 1 extends above the dial 3 while in the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the body portion of the valve 1 of essentially flat shape, in the rest position of the valve, is flush with the dial 3. [0030] As illustrated in FIG. 5, a valve 1, in semi-open position, is arranged on a watch plate 3, and another valve can be arranged on the dial. In this example, it would therefore be possible to position valves 1 at different heights. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above but encompasses all the variants. By way of example, the means for moving the valve may be mechanical or electronic, just like the clockwork incorporated in the wristwatch. claims
