Patent number: 11931941Abstract: A process for manufacturing a timepiece component having a first step (E1) consisting in arranging a metal insert in an injection mold, one surface of said metal insert being at least partially coated with a primer, a second step (E2) of injecting an elastomer material into the injection mold in order to overmold the elastomer material over the metal insert, a third step (E3) of vulcanizing the elastomer material, wherein the temperature of the injection mold is variable, and a step (E31) of increasing the temperature of the injection mold between a first temperature at a first instant during the injection second step (E2), and a second temperature higher than the first temperature at a second instant, during the vulcanization third step (E3).Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ROLEX SAInventors: Benjamin Celant, Laurent Mincone

Patent number: 11858178Abstract: The injection mold has a mold core including a first part and a second part. The parts are mobile relative to one another between a first injection position in which they are moved together to form an injection cavity permitting the injection of a material to form an injected part (50; 50?), and a second demolding position in which they are moved away from one another to permit the demolding of the injected part (50; 50?). The injection mold has at least one ejector designed to contribute to the demolding, and at least one movable intermediate plate (10; 10?, 20?), separate from the two parts of the mold core. The intermediate pate is arranged between the two parts of the mold core, and has at least one cutout (12; 12?, 22?) forming at least one part of the injection cavity of the injection mold.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: ROLEX SAInventors: Grégoire Fluri, Laurent Mincone

Publication number: 20210157273Abstract: A dial plate (1) for a timepiece is designed to be mounted on a connection ring (2), and has a first, lower surface (12) designed to be oriented towards the interior of a timepiece, an opposite second, upper surface (13) designed to be on view, and a third surface (11) connecting the first and second surfaces, forming a peripheral contour of the dial plate. The third, peripheral contour surface (11) includes a section which passes via a plane perpendicular to the second surface (13), this section having a first part (11a) extending from the first, lower surface (12) to the second, upper surface (13) of the dial plate (1), in a direction which is non-perpendicular to the first, lower surface (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2020Publication date: May 27, 2021Applicant: ROLEX SAInventors: Benjamin Bourg, Daniel Fiammingo, Grégoire Fluri, Laurent Mincone
