Definitions

  • the present invention relates to watch movements of the type comprising a frame and a gear train formed of movable mounted pivoting on the frame.
  • a first of these mobiles is provided with a tigeron intended to receive a first needle
  • a second of these mobile is equipped with a cannon arranged coaxially with the tigeron and intended for receive a second needle.
  • Practically all watches with display by needles have these characteristics.
  • Their movement more precisely comprises a cog formed by a timer a carriageway, a timer mobile and an hour wheel.
  • This cog ensures a division by twelve.
  • the roadway is friction mounted on a mobile minutes, performing one revolution per hour. Its end is provided with a tigeron on which it is possible to drive out a hand, intended to display the minutes.
  • the hour wheel is fitted with a barrel mounted to rotate freely on the floor. It makes a tour in twelve hours in the same direction as the floor, and carries a hand to display the hours.
  • the movement according to the invention is characterized in that the second mobile is mounted, mobile in rotation, on the frame by means of a ball bearing.
  • the bearing comprises a core, a ring and balls arranged between the core and the ring, the ring being rigidly fixed to the frame and the core to the second mobile, for example by force, by driving on the gun.
  • the movement includes a mechanism of the type chronograph with a chronograph cog comprising a mobile of seconds, formed by the second mobile.
  • the positions of the various components arranged on and next to the watch face are defined with reference to the position that would occupy an hour hand turning on an axis passing through the center of the dial.
  • the watch shown in Figure 1 includes a box 10 defining a housing in which a watch movement is arranged, which will be described in reference to figure 2.
  • This movement carries a round dial 12 and hands 14 hours, 16 minutes, 18 seconds and seconds of chronograph 20.
  • I1 is controlled by a crown 22 arranged at three o'clock and by a pusher 24 coaxial with the crown 22.
  • the 14 and 18 second hands are off-center, respectively arranged at noon and six o'clock.
  • the needles minutes 16 and chronograph seconds 20 are coaxial with the dial.
  • the movement comprises a frame, formed of a plate 26, of bridges, in particular of a bridge finishing 28, center bridge 30, timer bridge 32 and bridge chronograph 34, this frame being intended to serve as a support for the various parts movement mobiles.
  • This movement includes an energy source supplying a balance by through a gear train comprising moving bodies with center 36, average of 38 and 40 seconds in the center, and an exhaust that was not shown in that it is not part of the invention.
  • These mobiles include each a wheel identified by the reference a and a pinion bearing the reference b.
  • the center wheel 36 carries, friction mounted, a roadway 42, provided with a tigeron 42a intended to carry the minute hand 16, and which forms the first mobile of a cog timer.
  • the latter also includes a reference 44 meshing with a timer mobile, which cooperates with a cannon wheel, bearing the hour hand 14. The timer mobile, nor the cannon wheel are only visible in the drawing.
  • the cog of this movement also includes a small second gear 46, an oscillating pinion 48 and a chronograph seconds wheel 50.
  • the small second gear is engaged with the medium wheel 38a. It is for carrying the second hand 18.
  • the oscillating pinion 48 is provided with two teeth respectively identified by the letters a and b and meshing respectively with the seconds wheel 40a and with the chronograph seconds wheel 50. It is mounted in bearings which comprise the finishing bridge 28 and a rocker 52. The latter is integral with the plate 26, on which it can pivot, and controlled by a chronograph mechanism which will not be described in detail, since it is well known to those skilled in the art, itself actuated by pusher 24.
  • the lever 52 When the lever 52 pivots, it laterally drives the pinion of the pinion 48, so that, according to the direction of movement, its toothing 48b emerges from or meshes with the teeth of the wheel 50.
  • the pinion 48 and the rocker 52 form, together, a clutch connecting or not kinematically the center seconds wheel 40a to the chronograph seconds wheel 50.
  • the chronograph seconds wheel 50 is arranged coaxial with the roadway 42. It is formed by a plate identified by the letter a , which meshes with the teeth 48b, a barrel b , engaged on the roadway 42 and carrying the chronograph seconds hand 20, and a heart c , the function of which will be specified below and which, adjoining the plate 50a, is made in one piece with the barrel 50b. It is pivotally mounted on the chronograph bridge 34 by means of a ball bearing 54. The latter is formed of a ring 54a fixed on the chronograph bridge 34 by means of a key not shown in the drawing, of a core 54b, driven out of the barrel 50b, and balls 54c arranged, in a conventional manner, between the ring and the core.
  • the heart 50c is intended to cooperate with a hammer, part of the mechanism chronograph mentioned above, which ensures, in a well known manner of skilled in the art, zeroing the 20 second hand chronograph.
  • the watch movement as described above can be carried out from of a classic mechanical watch movement, of the type allowing either seconds display at six o'clock, in the center.
  • This basic movement is supplemented by a modified timer train allowing the wheel to be placed cannon at noon and a chronograph module attached to the base movement, between plate 26 and dial 12.
  • the only major change made to the basic movement refers to the addition of the oscillating pinion 48, which must reduce the movement of the seconds wheel 40a to the seconds wheel of chronograph.
  • the movement as described can be the subject of numerous variants, without so far out of the invention. It is thus entirely conceivable to carry out a watch in which the hour hand is concentric with the hand minutes. In this case, the cannon wheel would be interposed between the roadway 42 and the chronograph seconds wheel 50.
