    description
    The invention relates to a wristwatch comprising a frame supporting an organ, usually a (column) wheel, which regulates an operation of the clock, said clock further including a lever for controlling the organ. The clock has a housing with a (push) button, whereby the lever is actuated by pressing the button.
    The organ can be any of the wristwatch that regulates a certain operation of the watch, in particular the stopping / resetting of a stopwatch (chronograph watch) to correct the time for a certain time zone, to adjust the date and based on the clock sync to a specific GPS location, etc.
    An example of such a watch can be a chronograph watch that has been known for decades; a very detailed explanation of their structure is on https://www.watchprosite.com/a.-lange-and-s%C3%B6hne/how-columnwheel-chronographs-work-notably-the-lange-1951 -movements- / 10.1026673.7293393 / to be found.
    In a conventional chronograph watch, the column wheel is a multi-layer wheel that determines the position and movement of all remaining parts in the chronograph. It is operated by a human keystroke. With this pressure, a ratchet lock is pulled down, causing the column wheel to rotate. When turning, a tooth on the column wheel comes into contact with a first lever that moves outward (this first lever is a horizontal clutch that engages the current second gear with the chronograph gear). At the same time, the rotation of the column wheel activates a second lever that falls inwards (this second lever is a brake lever that is released to set the chronograph hand in motion).
    Ultimately, a spring with a hook is used to prevent the column wheel from moving further or back. Basically, this construction gives the column wheel a stable position.
    In order to stop the chronograph running, another key press is required so that the bolt moves down, the column wheel continues to rotate, releases the horizontal clutch and actuates the brake lever.
    The conventional chronograph watch has several disadvantages, in particular that the mechanism consists of many parts (> 20) and requires assembly. In addition, the column wheel is a multi-layered part and is difficult to manufacture. Finally, the system with the column wheel, frame and levers is not planar when assembled, resulting in a relatively large thickness of the chronograph watch.
    Other effects that are possible with a wristwatch and that are started or stopped with push buttons on a lever, in particular stopping / resetting a stopwatch (chronograph watch) to correct the time for a specific time zone in order to adjust the date, to synchronize the watch based on a specific GPS location, etc. have similar problems
    EP 0 498 212 shows a wrist watch comprising a case and in the case a frame supporting an organ, such as a wheel, that regulates an operation of the watch, the watch further comprising a lever for controlling the organ the housing being provided with a button for actuating the lever, the lever being connected to the frame by at least one intermediate bend, the at least one intermediate bend ensuring that the lever has a preferred position to which it automatically returns, after leaving it.
    In the context of the invention, a wristwatch is proposed which has the features of one or more of the attached claims.
    In a first aspect, the wrist watch according to the invention has the feature that the lever, the at least one bend and the frame form a single part, which is advantageous from the perspective of the manufacture and assembly of the watch.
    The lever is preferably connected to the frame with at least two intermediate bends. This provides a more stable construction to withstand shock and vibration. The at least two intermediate bends can create a virtual pivot point about which the lever can rotate.
    Preferably the two intermediate bends are made in the same plane.
    In another aspect of the invention, the organ is connected to the frame and is provided with at least two stable positions with respect to the frame, the organ being movable between the at least two stable positions by operating the lever. Such an organ can then fulfill the function of a conventional column wheel in a chronograph watch, which considerably simplifies the construction. The organ can be used, for example, to bring the gears of the wristwatch from a non-operational position into an operational position.
    In general, it is advantageous that the organ is connected to the frame by at least two bends, said at least two bends being arranged with a first position and a second position, the first position and the second position the at least two correspond to stable positions of the organ.
    In an advantageous embodiment of the wristwatch, the at least two bends are not kinked in the first position, and the at least two bends are kinked in the second position.
    In another advantageous embodiment of the wristwatch according to the invention, the at least two bends are bent in the first position, and in the second position the at least two bends are bent in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
    In another aspect of the invention, at least one of the organ, the frame and the lever or these elements together form a single part. This makes the watch less cumbersome and expensive to manufacture. This also promotes the reliability and accuracy of the wristwatch.
    In a further aspect of the invention, the organ, the frame and the lever are provided on the same plane. This makes it possible to assemble and provide an ultra-thin wrist watch.
    Another preferred feature is that the organ is provided with slots which are arranged to cooperate with projections attached to elastic support beams connected to the frame. This can secure the respective stable positions of the organ.
    Another noteworthy feature is that the lever is drivingly connected to a bar which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction by operating the lever and which bar, when the lever is operated, activates a contact surface of the organ in order to move said organ. This enables the actuation of the lever to cause the beam to move the organ from a first stable position to a second stable position or vice versa.
    Further preferred features are:
    -that the organ is a column wheel of a chronograph watch.
    -that the organ functions as a horizontal coupling during use.
    -that the organ functions as a brake lever during use.
    -that the organ functions as a horizontal clutch and brake lever during use.
    The invention is further explained below with reference to the drawing of exemplary embodiments of a chronograph watch according to the invention, which is not restrictive with regard to the appended claims. It should be noted, however, that the specific examples of a chronograph watch as discussed below do not limit the generality of the claims to just these examples. The claims apply to any wristwatch that has at least the features of one or more of the attached claims and is concerned with various functions, such as the function for starting / stopping / resetting a stopwatch (chronograph watch) to correct the time for a specific time zone in a regular watch, but not limited to the function of adjusting the date in a regular watch, synchronizing the regular watch based on a specific GPS location, and so on.
    It show:
    Figure 1 shows a picture of a wrist watch according to the invention;
    Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2 both show a plan view of different embodiments with the wheel, the frame and the lever of the chronograph watch according to the invention;
    Figure 3 shows a first embodiment, in particular of the suspension of the wheel in the frame;
    Figure 4 shows a second embodiment, in particular of the suspension of the wheel in the frame; and
    Figure 5 shows a system in which the wheel includes the function of a column wheel, a horizontal clutch and the function of a brake together.
    Whenever the same reference numbers are used in the figures, these numbers refer to the same parts.
    With reference to Figure 1 and Figures 2.1 and 2.2, the basic operation of the chronograph watch shown in Figure 1 can be explained, as far as this is relevant to the present invention. Not all of the remaining parts of the chronograph watch required for operation are shown in the figures, as they are or may be completely the same as the construction of the (chronograph) watch of the existing prior art and are therefore not necessary for an understanding of the present Invention.
    Figure 1 shows that the watch has a housing with a push button A, the lever 10 shown in Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2 is actuated by pressing the button.
