| 20090122656 | CROWN FOR TIMEPIECE - Crown for a timepiece, said crown ( | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090122657 | TIMEPIECE CROWN INCLUDING AN UNCOUPLING MECHANISM - Winding crown for a timepiece, said crown ( | 05-14-2009 |
| 20100128575 | Portable device and portable watch - In a wristwatch (portable device), a push button (push-pull operating member) includes an engaging portion, and the push button is mounted on a watch sheath (device sheath). A stopper is arranged on the watch sheath. The stopper is movable between a locked position in which the push button is held at a predetermined position by engagement with the engaging portion and an unlocked position in which the operation of the push button is allowed. A circular operating ring surrounding an hour plate (display portion) mounted on the watch sheath is rotatably mounted on the watch sheath from the front side thereof. The movement of the stopper between the locked position and the unlocked position is interlocked with the rotating operation of the operating ring. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100220562 | Portable watch - A portable watch is equipped with a watch exterior member, a crown, a crown lock button, and an urging member. In a case band with which the exterior member is equipped, there are formed a crown mounting hole and a member mounting portion communicating with this hole and vertically perpendicular thereto. The crown is arranged in the hole. The crown has a crown shaft portion passed through the hole and a crown head portion continuous therewith. The crown shaft is provided with a lock groove continuous in the peripheral direction. The lock button accommodated in the mounting portion has a button head portion (operation end portion) protruding from the mounting portion. The button is movable between a lock position where it is engaged with the groove to constrain the crown and a lock canceling position where it is detached from the groove to cancel the constraint of the crown, and is arranged at the lock canceling position through a one-touch operation of the button head portion. The watch is characterized in that the button is arranged at the lock position by an urging member accommodated in the mounting portion. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110013496 | TIMEPIECE - This timepiece comprises a case ( | 01-20-2011 |
| 20120092970 | ANGLED CROWN SETTING DEVICE - A crown setting device for a timepiece comprising: a case; a bezel attached to the case; a setting stem in axially slideable communication with the case; a crown shaft, the crown shaft comprising: a first end; a second end; a first portion of the crown shaft abutting the first end; a second portion of the crown shaft abutting the second end; and wherein the first end is in fixed communication with the setting stem; a crown in fixed communication with the second end; and wherein the second portion is at an angle α with respect to the first portion, and wherein the angle α is between about 90° and about 175°. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120263023 | PORTABLE TIMEPIECE - A wristwatch has a casing containing a movement. An insertion cylindrical portion of a pipe is inserted into a through-hole in a body of the casing, and the pipe is fixed to the body. A push-button has a button shaft engageable with a contact member of the movement through the pipe, and a push operation head connected to the button shaft and disposed outside the body. The button shaft has a first portion integrated with the head and a second portion screwed onto the first portion. The second portion has a diameter greater than that of the first portion and an engagement surface capable of approaching and being separated from a tip of the insertion cylindrical portion. The push-button is biased toward the outside of the body by a spring so the engagement surface is held in contact with the tip of the insertion cylindrical portion. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20130100782 | WATCH CASE - This watch case comprises a middle ( | 04-25-2013 |
| 20130114383 | WATCH CASE INCLUDING AN ORIENTATION MEMORY CROWN - A watch case comprising:
| 05-09-2013 |
| 20140286146 | SWITCH DEVICE AND TIMEPIECE INCLUDING SWITCH DEVICE - A switch device of the present invention includes a cylindrical member fitted into a through hole of a wristwatch case, an operating member having an operation shaft section to be inserted into the cylindrical member and an operation head section, and a lock member fixed inside the operation head section. The cylindrical member includes engaging projections, and the lock member includes resilient support sections which have a space with respect to the inner circumferential surface of the operation head section and are resiliently deformed in a radial direction, and lock sections with which the engaging projections are resiliently engaged. Accordingly, when the operating member is pushed inward and rotated, the engaging projections resiliently deform the resilient support sections and are engaged with the lock sections. Also, only by the operating member being rotated against the regulating force of the lock section, the lock sections are disengaged from the engaging projections. | 09-25-2014 |
| 20150043314 | PORTABLE APPARATUS AND PORTABLE TIMEPIECE - Provision of a portable apparatus which is of a simple construction and which can prevent a lock member arranged at a lock position where a pushbutton is locked from being erroneously rotated to an excessive degree. A pipe inserted into a through-hole of an apparatus exterior body is fixed to the apparatus exterior body. The pipe consists of a single component, and has a male screw portion and a stopper portion on an external arrangement tube portion thereof. A lock member is provided with a female screw portion, a lock part, and a lock portion configured to move toward and away from the stopper portion. The two screw portions and are threadedly engaged with each other, and the lock member is mounted so as to be movable in the axial direction of the pipe. A shaft portion of a pushbutton is passed through the pipe, and the pushbutton is urged toward the exterior of the apparatus exterior body by a spring. A head with which the pushbutton is equipped has an opposing portion facing the lock part. A retaining ring is mounted to a shaft end portion of the shaft portion situated inside the apparatus exterior body, and the pushbutton is prevented from being detached from the pipe. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20160098016 | ROTARY INPUT MECHANISM FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - One embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device includes an enclosure having a sidewall with a button aperture defined therethrough, a display connected to the enclosure, a processing element in communication with the display. The device also includes a sensing element in communication with the processing element and an input button at least partially received within the button aperture and in communication with the sensing element, the input button configured to receive two types of user inputs. During operation, the sensing element tracks movement of the input button to determine the two types of user inputs. | 04-07-2016 |
