Abstract

A system for fastening and/or extracting a dial disposed on a support. The dial includes a holding portion configured to bring the dial against the support and an extracting portion configured to move the dial away from the support. The system includes a movable organ configured to displace or be displaced between a fastening position and an extraction position. The movable organ includes a holding surface configured to cooperate with the holding portion so as to bring the dial against the support and an extraction surface configured to cooperate with the extraction portion so as to move the dial away from the support.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fastening and/or extraction system for a dial, said dial being disposed on a support and on a first face of said support and comprising at least one holding portion configured to bring said dial against said support and/or at least one extraction portion configured to move said dial away from said support; said system comprising at least one movable organ configured to displace or be displaced between at least one fastening position and at least one extraction position and including at least:
one holding surface; said at least one holding surface being configured to cooperate with said at least one holding portion so as to bring said dial against said support when said at least one movable organ displaces or is displaced between said fastening position and said extraction position; and,
one extraction surface; said at least one extraction surface being configured to cooperate with said at least one extraction portion so as to move said dial away from said support when said at least one movable organ displaces or is displaced between said fastening position and said extraction position.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one movable organ is at least one lever pivoting about at least one pivot axis between said fastening position and said extraction position.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the movable organ comprises at least one holding arm and at least one extraction arm; said at least one holding surface is disposed on said at least one holding arm and/or said at least one extraction surface is disposed on said at least one extraction arm.

4. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one movable stop configured to displace said at least one movable organ between said fastening position and said extraction position.

5. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one return element configured to displace said at least one movable organ between said fastening position and said extraction position and to displace said at least one movable organ to said fastening position.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one return element is totally or partially housed in said at least one movable organ and/or said movable organ comprises at least one groove configured to totally or partially house said at least one return element.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one holding surface is facing said at least one extraction surface, the normal to said at least one holding surface is parallel and/or coaxial to the normal to said at least one extraction surface.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one holding surface is configured to conform to said at least one holding portion and/or said at least one extraction surface is configured to conform to said at least one extraction portion.

9. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising said support and wherein said at least one movable organ is disposed on said support and preferably on a second surface in particular opposite to said first surface.
