ROTATING BEZEL MOUNTING STRUCTURE AND TIMEPIECE WITH THE MOUNTING STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/017715
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A structure in which a rotating bezel is mounted in a case body and which allows the rotating bezel to be installed and removed without difficulty even if the rotating bezel is made of a brittle material or a difficult-to-deform material, wherein, when the rotating bezel (25) is pressed from the upper side, the lower end part of an engaged rib (25a) of the rotating bezel (25) is brought into contact with and exert stress to the upper end part of a holding rib (21d) of a glass fixing ring (21) so as to elastically deform an elastically deformed part (21b) of the glass fixing ring (21) inward, i.e., toward the side on which a clearance is formed and, as a result, the engaged rib (25a) moves beyond the holding rib (21d) to keep the rotating bezel (25) held as shown in the figure.
