Definitions

  • the walking of a room is not the same when it is in a vertical position or in a horizontal position.
  • a pocket watch can be set fairly easily since it is placed most of the time in vertical position. The adjustment made in this position can be easily achieved, and it will be possible to stay at a variation from 0 to 1 second per day.
  • we place the pocket watch in horizontal position say put for example on a table, we will notice that the variation in walking will then be around 10 seconds per day.
  • a wristwatch is generally worn in horizontal position. However, depending on the wearer, the average position of the watch may vary considerably. If therefore it is settled in a horizontal position, it may, in some case, show a relatively gait variation important.
  • the object of the present invention is to remove this drawback and offer to equip a timepiece with a bi-axial tourbillon operating along two perpendicular axes.
  • the bi-axial vortex for parts of watchmaking is characterized in that it comprises a first cage containing the balance wheel and the exhaust pinion, the cage rotating along an axis, and being housed inside a second mounted cage the second cage rotates in housings performing its rotation along another axis perpendicular to the axis of the first cage.
  • the cage containing the pendulum has a seconds pinion with teeth, which engages with a fixed gear wheel integral with the plate of the timepiece.
  • the pinion of seconds and the pendulum axis can have a common axis corresponding to the axis of rotation of the cage.
  • the tourbillon has a second cage driven by the pinion integral with the wheel center along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the first cage.
  • the operation of the bi-axial tourbillon can be combined with a display mechanism downshifting indicating on a linear scale adjacent to the tourbillon the second or the time in minutes required for a full rotation of the whirlwind.
  • the drawing shows, for example, a mode of execution of a bi-axial vortex, object of the invention.
  • the bi-axial vortex described opposite Figures 1 to 3 of the drawing includes a tourbillon cage conventional A placed in another cage B which itself rotates on two pivots 1 and 2.
  • the cage tourbillon A rotates in rotation on the C axis at the very interior of cage B. Taken independently, cage A turns freely in cage B.
  • the 3 seconds pinion of the tourbillon cage A is extended outside the cage. He engenders with the mean wheel 4 (figure 2) which is integral with plate 5, therefore fixed. The rotation of the outer cage B is therefore carried out by the pinion of seconds 3 which rotates said cage on pivots 1 and 2.
  • FIG 3 the cage is shown and its drive mechanism, as well as part of the regulating system, according to a cut by the common axis A1 cage and pendulum.
  • the regulating system of the wristwatch including the pendulum 10 and the exhaust pinion 11, is housed in a cage A, whose upper deck has a pinion of seconds 13 itself provided with a toothing 14 which drives with the fixed wheel 4.
  • This cage A is fixed rotatably on a plate 15 which is secured to the second wheel 16 which engages with pinion 11.
  • the cage B is rotatably mounted between two ice stones 17 and 18 arranged in the accommodation provided for this purpose.
  • the axis of rotation of the pinion 20 is the axis A2.
  • the tourbillon along one axis is the watch of pocket what the vortex of Figures 1 to 3 is at the wristwatch. That is, if the first smooths setting errors in position vertical, the second aims to smooth the vertical position adjustment errors and horizontal.
  • a tourbillon The purpose of a tourbillon is to smooth all walking errors in position vertical of the watch (generally pocket watch). When we put a tourbillon on a wristwatch, the average position when worn is horizontal. In this position, the vortex has no power over watch running. This is why the whirlwind biaxial of Figures 1 to 3 smooths the errors of works in any position since it rotates on two axes, both vertical and horizontal.
  • Bi-axial tourbillon can be combined with a second display and / or a display corresponding to the full rotation time on a linear scale ranging from 1 to 8 minutes.
  • the above mentioned displays will advantageously carried out by means of a mechanism downshift display described in the patent Swiss N ° .. (D 0535/03) in the name of the holder.
