Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece with a mechanism for indicating a period of time comprising a solar mobile driven at the rate of one turn per multiple of this period of time, planetary mobiles whose respective axes of rotation are equidistant around the axis of rotation of the solar mobile, an integral and coaxial Maltese cross of each planetary mobile and whose outer surfaces of the triangular arms are shaped to engage a locking surface and a drive finger disposed in a disengagement of said locking surface, on the path described by a radial division of each Maltese cross when it is in engagement with said locking surface, for driving it stepwise about its axis of rotation opposite said clearance , a plurality of digits distributed on said planetary mobiles at equal angular distances corresponding to their training pitch nt and distributed to indicate a determined succession of said periods of time, each turn of the solar mobile and an angular distance of its trajectory corresponding to that separating said planetary mobiles.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy, at least in part, this disadvantage.
  • this invention relates to a timepiece having a mechanism indicating a period of time according to claim 1.
  • the planetary mobiles rotating around the solar mobile are polyhedrons rotating about axes more or less perpendicular to that of the solar mobile, or even perpendicular, whose faces surrounding the axis of rotation bear the figures indicating the different periods of time measured. by the timepiece.
  • the faces of the polyhedra are of dimensions substantially corresponding to those of the numerals to be displayed and as the figure to be displayed is necessarily on the face of the polyhedron facing the observer, the area occupied by each planet mobile on the dial of the piece of watchmaking is limited to the visible surface turned on the side of the observer, contrary to what happens when the satellite mobile is constituted by a disk, as in the solutions of the state of the art, where all the space occupied on the surface of the dial of the watch corresponds to the entire surface of the disc.
  • the saving of space at the surface obtained thanks to the present invention, is therefore considerable.
  • the indicator mechanism described here is a mechanism indicating the time of a timepiece, which comprises for this purpose, a toothed wheel 1 which is engaged with the roadway 2 of the timewheel of the timepiece by via a gear reducer 3 which drives, in this example, the toothed wheel 1 at a rate of one turn every three hours.
  • This report is chosen in a function of the number of planetary mobiles carried by the solar mobile, as will be seen below.
  • the display device that will be described is not limited to the display of the time, but that it could notably be used to display the months of the year by connecting the time. gear 1 to a calendar mechanism instead of the timer train according to the example described. In this case, one could substitute the short name of the months for the numbers from 1 to 12, but one could also keep the numbers, since the months are also indicated by their serial number in the year.
  • the toothed wheel 1 is fixed to the rotatable inner part of a ball bearing 4, by a fixing screw 5, screwed into a solar mobile 6, integral with the toothed wheel 1 and the central part of the ball bearing 4.
  • the outer portion of this ball bearing 4 is driven into an opening of the plate 7 of the timepiece.
  • the solar mobile 6 carries three pivot shafts 6a which form angles ⁇ with the pivot axis of the solar mobile 6 and which are spaced 120 ° from each other around the pivot axis of the solar mobile 6.
  • a planetary mobile 8 is pivotally mounted and is retained by a screw 9 screwed into a thread of the pivot shaft 6a.
  • These planetary mobiles 8 have forms of square-based polyhedra, in the example shown, these polyhedra are truncated pyramids.
  • the angles ⁇ that their pivot axes form with the pivot axis of the solar mobile 6 are, in this example, 90 °, but they could vary typically in a range of ⁇ 20 ° from 90 °.
  • each of these planetary mobiles 8 in the form of polyhedra bear numbers from 1 to 12, distributed in the following order: 1, 4, 7, 10 on the faces of a polyhedron, 2, 5, 8, 11 on the faces of the second polyhedron and 3, 6, 9, 12 on the faces of the third polyhedron.
  • 3 is the constant difference between the successive figures on the adjacent faces of the polyhedra of the planetary mobiles 8 and which comes from the fact that each polyhedron participates one hour out of three in the time display as will be seen later .
  • one of the quadrangular faces of each polyhedron, perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the sun wheel 8, has the shape of a Maltese cross 8a whose branches are separated by four radial divisions 8b in the form of notches oriented along the diagonals of the quadrangular surface, starting respectively from the four corners of this surface and stopping all at the same distance from the geometric center of this quadrangular face traversed by an opening 8c intended to receive the pivot shaft 6a on which the 8 planetary mobile can rotate freely.
  • a stationary driving pin 10 is fixed in a clearance 7a (FIG. 5) of the plate 7.
  • This driving peg 10 is parallel to the axis of pivoting of the solar mobile 6 and is located on the trajectory of the Maltese cross 8a of the planetary mobiles 8, in the center of the clearance 7a for unlocking the planetary mobiles 8 and dimensioned to allow the rotation of the Maltese cross 8a around their respective axes when they pass vis-à-vis -vis this release.
  • the surface of the plate 7 is adjacent to the part of the faces 8d of each of the polyhedron-shaped planetary mobiles 8 which also constitutes the edge surface situated between two radial divisions 8b of the Maltese cross 8a or, if preferred, the surface formed by the outer side of the triangular arms of the Maltese cross.
  • the surface of the plate 7, adjacent to this outer side of an arm of each Maltese cross, serves to lock each Maltese cross about the pivot axis 6a of its sun gear 8, when it is outside from clearance 7a.
  • the classic Maltese cross is driven by a circular mobile and its vocal surfaces, located between two radial divisions of the Maltese cross, are curved to fit the shape of the circular driving wheel and thus lock the Maltese Cross between two workouts.
  • the driving of the Maltese cross 8a results from the rotation of the solar mobile 6 and it is the fixed surface of the plate 7, adjacent to the singing surface 8d of the Maltese cross 8a , which thus serves to lock the Maltese cross 8a around the pivot shaft 6a, between two drives due to the relative displacement between the Maltese cross 8a, driven by the solar mobile 6 and the fixed drive pin 10, to each passage of this Maltese cross opposite this fixed peg 10.
  • each planetary mobile 8 moves towards a sector 11 of 120 ° graduated in 60 minutes. and in front of which a minute hand 12 moves at the same speed.
  • a needle of a retrograde display system is not part of the present invention and therefore will not be described here, not being necessary for the understanding of the present invention.
  • retrograde display systems are well known to those skilled in the art. Recall that they consist in making the display needle suddenly return from 60 to 0, at the end of each hour under the force of a spring armed return during the movement of the minute hand 12 from 0 to 60.
  • the solar mobile 6 makes a turn in three hours.
  • Each planetary mobile 8 is driven around its pivot shaft 6a by a quarter turn at each turn of the solar mobile 6, so that in four revolutions of the solar mobile 6, the twelve digits of the four faces 8d of the three planetary mobiles 8 have moved in front of the minute sector 11, indicating the time with which the minute hand 12 which accompanies it indicates the minutes.
  • the needle 12 returns to 0 where is the next planetary mobile 8 indicating the next hour.
  • each planetary mobile 8 is integral with a minute hand that may or may not be hidden outside the minute display sector 11.
  • Figures 7 to 10 show different phases of driving a planetary mobile 8 by the pin 10.
  • the number of digits could be different from 12, for example 24, to indicate the hours from 1 to 24.
  • the number of satellite mobiles could be different from three and the number of faces of the polyhedrons that form the planetary mobiles could be different from four. In this case, the number of arms of the Maltese crosses will be equal to the number of faces of the polyhedron surrounding the axis of rotation of the planetary mobile 8.
