20140098646 | ELECTROMAGNETIC TIMEPIECE MOTOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - An electronic timepiece movement including a timepiece motor formed by an assembly comprising a frame made of non-magnetic material and a rotor housed in said frame; and method of manufacturing a motor of this type wherein the frame is first made with a lateral aperture, said frame including a first part and a second part each carrying a bearing, the first part or the first and second parts of the frame being elastically deformable. Next, the rotor is mounted in the frame through the lateral aperture therein by increasing the distance between the two bearings of the frame via the elastic deformation of the first part or of the first and second parts of said frame, said elastic deformation being provided in particular for the insertion of the two rotor pivots into the two respective bearings of the pre-formed frame. | 04-10-2014 |
20140242273 | METHOD FOR MECHANICAL AND/OR OPTICAL FUNCTIONALIZATION OF A TRANSPARENT TIMEPIECE COMPONENT - A method for mechanical and/or optical functionalization of a transparent timepiece component, including: forming a body of methyl polymethacrylate, including a bottom surface and a mechanical and/or optically functionalized intermediate surface; coating the body with a layer made by injecting a second transparent polymerizable material into a cavity between a mold and the body or an intermediate body delimited by a complementary intermediate surface of a contact surface of a preceding mold, the last mold being the negative of the top surface of the component; polymerizing the second material therein; removing the component from the flexible mold by deformation of the mold. Hardness can be improved by UV irradiation of a component. | 08-28-2014 |
20140246806 | METHOD FOR MAKING AND DECORATING A TRANSPARENT TIMEPIECE COMPONENT - A method for making and decorating top and bottom surfaces of a transparent timepiece component, the method including: depositing a first decoration on a male pattern; moving the male pattern, covered or not covered by a preform, into an injection chamber and injecting a transparent material therein to coat the male pattern to obtain a compound including the top face with the first decoration, on the bottom face; polymerizing the first compound in the injection chamber and then removing therefrom; depositing another material and/or second decoration in a cavity and held by gravity, and deposited on the top surface via a relative motion in the direction of gravity, to obtain a second compound. | 09-04-2014 |
20140319741 | METHOD OF FORMING A TRANSPARENT ONE PIECE TIMEPIECE COMPONENT - Method for forming a transparent timepiece component including top and bottom surfaces:
