Abstract
Abstract A timepiece including a casing having a main part with an element in relief to receive the timepiece movement. The casing element supports at least a part of the shafts of the timepiece movement gearing. The element has at least one bridge of the movement frame to maintain the gearing with at least one other bearing surface for another element of the movement.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A timepiece including in combination, a casing (1) forming a part of the movement frame with the casing bottom (1a) forming the main part of the movement frame, the casing bottom including a relief formed therein and adapted to the relief of the elements of the movement, said casing bottom supporting at least a part of the shafts of the gearing of the movement and being provided with at least one bearing surface (9) for supporting at least one bridge (14) of the frame of the movement and for maintaining the said gearing in position and with at least one bearing surface (10) for an element (33) of the movement, the bearing surface (10) of the element (33) of the movement constitutes a second bearing surface for the said bridge (14) of the frame, while the bearing surface (9) for the bridge (14) constitutes a second bearing surface for the said element (33) of the movement.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
A timepiece including in combination, a casing (1) forming a part of the movement frame with the casing bottom (1a) forming the main part of the movement frame, the casing bottom including a relief formed therein and adapted to the relief of the elements of the movement, said casing bottom supporting at least a part of the shafts of the gearing of the movement and being provided with at least one bearing surface (9) for supporting at least one bridge (14) of the frame of the movement and for maintaining the said gearing in position and with at least one bearing surface (10) for an element (33) of the movement, the bearing surface (10) of the element (33) of the movement constitutes a second bearing surface for the said bridge (14) of the frame, while the bearing surface (9) for the bridge (14) constitutes a second bearing surface for the said element (33) of the movement.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
139 words
A timepiece including in combination, a casing (1) forming a part of the movement frame with the casing bottom (1a) forming the main part of the movement frame, the casing bottom including a relief formed therein and adapted to the relief of the elements of the movement, said casing bottom supporting at least a part of the shafts of the gearing of the movement and being provided with at least one bearing surface (9) for supporting at least one bridge (14) of the frame of the movement and for maintaining the said gearing in position and with at least one bearing surface (10) for an element (33) of the movement, said element (33) of the movement bearing on the bearing surface (10) of the main portion (1a) of the frame of the movement is constituted by a regulating module.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
139 words
A timepiece including in combination, a casing (1) forming a part of the movement frame with the casing bottom (1a) forming the main part of the movement frame, the casing bottom including a relief formed therein and adapted to the relief of the elements of the movement, said casing bottom supporting at least a part of the shafts of the gearing of the movement and being provided with at least one bearing surface (9) for supporting at least one bridge (14) of the frame of the movement and for maintaining the said gearing in position and with at least one bearing surface (10) for an element (33) of the movement, said element (33) of the movement bearing on the bearing surface (10) of the main portion (1a) of the frame of the movement is constituted by a regulating module.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
134 words
A timepiece including in combination, a casing (1) forming a part of the movement frame with the casing bottom (1a) forming the main part of the movement frame, the casing bottom including a relief formed therein and adapted to the relief of the elements of the movement, said casing bottom supporting at least a part of the shafts of the gearing of the movement and being provided with at least one bearing surface (9) for supporting at least one bridge (14) of the frame of the movement and for maintaining the said gearing in position and with at least one bearing surface (10) for an element (33) of the movement, the two bearing surfaces (9 and 10) of the main portion (1a) of the frame of the movement being situated in the same plane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
134 words
A timepiece including in combination, a casing (1) forming a part of the movement frame with the casing bottom (1a) forming the main part of the movement frame, the casing bottom including a relief formed therein and adapted to the relief of the elements of the movement, said casing bottom supporting at least a part of the shafts of the gearing of the movement and being provided with at least one bearing surface (9) for supporting at least one bridge (14) of the frame of the movement and for maintaining the said gearing in position and with at least one bearing surface (10) for an element (33) of the movement, the two bearing surfaces (9 and 10) of the main portion (1a) of the frame of the movement being situated in the same plane.
