Abstract

Mouvement de pièce d'horlogerie du type comportant un rouage de finissage, un tourbillon (16), une roue fixe (19) et un bâti (10, 12) définissant un plan de référence, dans lequel :
- les mobiles du rouage de finissage (18) et le tourbillon (16) sont montés pivotant autour d'axes (AA) perpendiculaires au plan de référence,
- le tourbillon (16) comprend une cage (20) sur laquelle sont montés pivotants un balancier-spiral (29) et un mobile d'échappement (34) comprenant une roue (34b) et un pignon (34a), et
- la roue fixe (19), munie d'une denture présentant des flancs, est montée rigidement sur le bâti (10) et disposée de manière à coopérer avec le pignon (34a) pour entraîner le mobile d'échappement (34) lorsque la cage (20) tourne.Timepiece movement of the type comprising a finishing train, a vortex (16), a fixed wheel (19) and a frame (10, 12) defining a reference plane, in which:
the mobiles of the finishing gear train (18) and the vortex (16) are pivotally mounted about axes (AA) perpendicular to the reference plane,
- the vortex (16) comprises a cage (20) on which are mounted pivotally a balance-spring (29) and an escapement mobile (34) comprising a wheel (34b) and a pinion (34a), and
- The fixed wheel (19), provided with a toothing having flanks, is rigidly mounted on the frame (10) and arranged to cooperate with the pinion (34a) to drive the mobile escape (34) when the cage (20) rotates.

Selon l'invention, le balancier-spiral (29) et le mobile d'échappement (34) pivotent autour d'axes (BB, CC) parallèles entre eux et qui sont en biais par rapport à l'axe (AA) de pivotement de la cage (20).

Figure imgaf001
According to the invention, the sprung balance (29) and the escapement wheel (34) pivot about axes (BB, CC) parallel to one another and which are obliquely with respect to the axis (AA) of pivoting of the cage (20).
