Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un dispositif correcteur coaxial multifonction permettant, par exemple dans une pièce d'horlogerie, de sélectionner et/ou de modifier les informations affichées sur un cadran au moyen d'un unique organe de commande.The present invention relates to a multifunctional coaxial corrector device making it possible, for example in a timepiece, to select and / or modify the information displayed on a dial by means of a single control member.

Arrière-plan technologiqueTechnological background

Une pièce d'horlogerie, notamment une montre-bracelet, permet à l'usager de connaître l'heure courante, qui peut de façon connue être corrigée en exerçant traction sur la tige de remontoir jusqu'à une position déterminée.A timepiece, including a wristwatch, allows the user to know the current time, which can in known manner be corrected by exerting traction on the winding stem to a specific position.

La montre-bracelet peut également permettre d'afficher, de modifier, ou d'enclencher des fonctions "dérivées" de l'heure courante telles que l'indication du quantième, le fuseau horaire, le chronographe, etc.... Pour cela la carrure doit comporter en outre un certain nombre de boutons-poussoirs.The wristwatch can also make it possible to display, modify, or activate functions "derived" from the current time such as the indication of the date, the time zone, the chronograph, etc. the case should also include a number of pushbuttons.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, on peut citer la montre chronographe décrite dans le document EP 1 085 384 dont la carrure comporte deux poussoirs et une tige de remontoir pouvant occuper trois positions.By way of non-limiting example, mention may be made of the chronograph watch described in the document EP 1 085 384 whose middle comprises two pushers and a winding stem that can occupy three positions.

Cela pose un certain nombre de problèmes aux constructeurs, en particulier pour assurer à ce niveau là l'étanchéité du boîtier qui renferme le coeur de la montre, à savoir le mouvement. La présence de poussoirs ne conduit pas non plus nécessairement à une esthétique sobre et élégante recherchée pour les pièces d'horlogerie de milieu ou de haut de gamme.This poses a number of problems for the manufacturers, in particular to ensure at this level the tightness of the housing which encloses the heart of the watch, namely the movement. The presence of pushers does not necessarily lead to a sober and elegant aesthetic sought for mid or high-end timepieces.

Le document US 5 299 177 décrit une pièce d'horlogerie, dont un mode de réalisation est une montre-réveil comportant un unique organe de commande extérieur sur lequel il faut effectuer beaucoup de manipulations différentes (traction, pression, rotation, délai entre deux manipulations) pour effectuer une correction de l'heure, une correction de l'heure d'alarme ou pour contrôler/modifier l'état de l'alarme. Cette montre-réveil est obligatoirement pourvue d'un circuit électronique de gestion et a comme inconvénient la complexité des manipulations à effectuer. Sauf à avoir une excellente mémoire, l'usager est pratiquement obligé d'avoir en permanence le mode d'emploi avec lui.The document US 5,299,177 discloses a timepiece, an embodiment of which is a clock watch comprising a single external control member on which it is necessary to perform many different manipulations (traction, pressure, rotation, delay between two manipulations) to perform a correction of time, correction of the alarm time or to check / change the status of the alarm. This alarm clock is necessarily provided with an electronic management circuit and has the disadvantage of the complexity of the manipulations to be performed. Except to have an excellent memory, the user is almost obliged to have the instructions for use with him at all times.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

La présente invention vise donc à palier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur précité en procurant un dispositif pour une pièce d'horlogerie dans laquelle plusieurs fonctions horaires ou non horaires peuvent être activées et/ou modifiées au moyen d'un unique organe de commande porté par la carrure, la fonction sélectionnée pouvant en outre être clairement identifiée par l'usager. Le dispositif a été essentiellement conçu pour un mouvement mécanique, mais peut sans difficulté être adapté à un mouvement électro-mécanique, voire électronique.The present invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks of the above-mentioned prior art by providing a device for a timepiece in which several hourly or non-hourly functions can be activated and / or modified by means of a single mounted control member. by the middle part, the selected function can also be clearly identified by the user. The device has been essentially designed for a mechanical movement, but can without difficulty be adapted to an electromechanical or even electronic movement.

A cet effet l'invention a pour objet un dispositif correcteur coaxial multifonction pour pièce d'horlogerie permettant de sélectionner et/ou de modifier une fonction déterminée au moyen d'un unique organe de commande extérieur situé sur la carrure et permettant d'actionner le mécanisme correcteur situé à l'intérieur du boîtier. Le dispositif comporte fondamentalement un poussoir constitué par une tête et un tube assemblés de part et d'autre d'un bouton de commande manoeuvrable en rotation entre deux positions extrêmes.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a multifunction coaxial corrector device for a timepiece making it possible to select and / or modify a determined function by means of a single external control device located on the middle part of the case and making it possible to actuate the corrector mechanism located inside the housing. The device basically comprises a pusher constituted by a head and a tube assembled on either side of a control button operable in rotation between two extreme positions.

Le bouton de commande permet d'entraîner une tige commande dont l'extrémité comporte un pignon d'entraînement engrenant avec la denture d'une crémaillère dont une extrémité comporte une bascule dont le bras menant est maintenu en appui sur une portée du tube de poussoir et dont le bras mené est positionnable par la crémaillère en regard d'un correcteur déterminé.The control knob is used to drive a control rod whose end comprises a drive pinion meshing with the toothing of a rack whose one end comprises a rocker whose driving arm is held in abutment on a range of the push tube and whose driven arm is positionable by the rack opposite a determined corrector.

Ainsi, une fois la sélection effectuée, qui peut être repérée sur la carrure ou affichée sur le cadran, une ou plusieurs pressions sur la tête de poussoir permettent de corriger la fonction sélectionnée.Thus, once the selection made, which can be identified on the middle or displayed on the dial, one or more pressures on the pusher head can correct the selected function.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation un peu plus complexe, la liaison entre le pignon d'entraînement et la denture de crémaillère s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un pignon coulant manoeuvrable de façon connue par une tirette et une bascule lorsqu'on exerce une traction sur le bouton de commande. Ce mode de réalisation permet par exemple d'effectuer le remontage du ressort de barillet d'un mouvement mécanique, sans avoir pour autant un autre organe de commande sur la carrure.According to another slightly more complex embodiment, the connection between the drive pinion and the rack tooth is effected by means of a sliding pinion which can be operated in a known manner by a pull-rod and a lever when operating pull on the control knob. This embodiment allows for example to perform the winding of the mainspring of a mechanical movement, without having yet another control member on the middle part.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

A la figure 1, on a représenté une portion de carrure 3 d'une pièce d'horlogerie, telle qu'une montre-bracelet permettant d'afficher l'heure courante, ainsi que d'autres informations liées ou non à l'écoulement du temps. Comme on le voit, la carrure 3 comporte un unique organe de commande extérieur 1, constitué par un poussoir 10 et par un bouton de commande 15 pouvant être manoeuvré au moins en rotation à débattement contrôlé au moyen d'une couronne cannelée 17, ces deux éléments étant assemblés de façon coaxiale. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le bouton de commande 15 comporte un index 7 qui vient se positionner en face repères 5 de la carrure 3 pour permettre à l'usager de connaître quelle fonction il a sélectionnée. Ces repères 5 peuvent être de simples marques sur la carrure, ou correspondre à un pictogramme ou à un sigle indiquant plus clairement la fonction sélectionnée. L'un de ces repères 5a correspond de préférence à une position neutre dans laquelle aucune fonction n'est sélectionnée, en permettant ainsi d'éviter une correction non souhaitée par pression accidentelle sur le poussoir. Dans l'exemple représenté, trois fonctions sont sélectionnables, telles que la mise à l'heure, la correction de quantième, ou la sélection de la fonction chronographe. Il est bien évident qu'on peut avoir plus ou moins de trois fonctions sélectionnables, selon le choix du constructeur ou les complications de la montre.To the figure 1 , there is shown a middle portion 3 of a timepiece, such as a wristwatch for displaying the current time, as well as other information related or not to the passage of time. As can be seen, the middle part 3 comprises a single external control member 1, constituted by a pusher 10 and by a control knob 15 which can be operated at least in rotation with controlled movement by means of a fluted crown 17, these two elements being assembled coaxially. In this embodiment, the control button 15 has an index 7 which is positioned on the face of the references 5 of the middle part 3 to allow the user to know which function he has selected. These marks 5 may be simple marks on the middle part, or correspond to a pictogram or an acronym indicating more clearly the selected function. One of these marks 5a preferably corresponds to a neutral position in which no function is selected, thus making it possible to avoid undesired correction by accidental pressure on the pusher. In the example shown, three functions are selectable, such as setting the time, date correction, or the selection of the chronograph function. It is obvious that we can have more or less than three selectable functions, depending on the choice of the manufacturer or the complications of the watch.

Selon une variante non représentée, mais dont la construction est à la portée de l'homme de l'art, l'affichage de la fonction sélectionnée peut être effectué de façon équivalente au moyen d'une aiguille se déplaçant dans un guichet du cadran, ladite aiguille étant entraînée directement ou indirectement par un pignon en prise avec une crémaillère du mécanisme, ce qu'on comprendra mieux avec la description qui suit.According to a variant not shown, but whose construction is within the reach of those skilled in the art, the display of the selected function can be performed in an equivalent manner by means of a needle moving in a window of the dial, said needle being driven directly or indirectly by a meshing pinion with a mechanism rack, which will be better understood with the description that follows.

Cet affichage sur le cadran peut également être effectué au moyen d'un autre type d'indicateur ayant une liaison cinématique avec la tige de commande (25) ou avec la crémaillère (35)
En se référant maintenant aux figures 2, 3, 6 et 7 on décrit ci-après plus en détails un premier mode de réalisation. La figure 2 est une vue de dessus limitée au mécanisme lorsqu'on a effectué par rotation du bouton de commande 15 au moyen de la couronne cannellée 17 la sélection d'un correcteur déterminé 9a. La rotation du bouton de commande 15 entraîne une tige de commande 25 sur laquelle est fixé un pignon d'entraînement 29 à dents de chant qui engrène avec la denture 37 d'une crémaillère 35 constituée par une plaquette allongée 36. Le débattement de la crémaillère 35 entre deux positions extrêmes est contrôlé par deux ouvertures oblongues 41 traversées par deux vis 39 vissées dans la platine ou dans un pont du mouvement.
La denture 37 de la crémaillère 35, permettant le débattement entre ces deux positions extrêmes, peut être prolongée pour entraîner un pignon permettant l'affichage de la fonction sélectionnée directement sur le cadran. Il est bien évident que la denture d'entraînement dudit pignon pourrait être située à un tout autre endroit de la crémaillère 35.This display on the dial can also be carried out by means of another type of indicator having a kinematic connection with the control rod (25) or with the rack (35)
Referring now to Figures 2, 3 , 6 and 7 a first embodiment is described in more detail below. The figure 2 is a top view limited to the mechanism when made by rotation of the control knob 15 by means of the cannulated ring 17 the selection of a specific corrector 9a. The rotation of the control button 15 drives a control rod 25 on which is fixed a drive gear 29 with edge teeth which meshes with the toothing 37 of a rack 35 constituted by an elongate plate 36. The movement of the rack 35 between two extreme positions is controlled by two oblong openings 41 traversed by two screws 39 screwed into the plate or in a bridge of the movement.
The teeth 37 of the rack 35, allowing travel between these two extreme positions, can be extended to cause a pinion for displaying the selected function directly on the dial. It is obvious that the drive teeth of said pinion could be located at a different place of the rack 35.

Une bascule 45 est pivotée sur une extrémité de la crémaillère 35 au moyen d'une vis 48 fixée dans la plaquette 36. La bascule 45 comporte un bras menant 49 et un bras mené 51 entre lesquels se trouve un point de pivotement 47, la bascule ayant dans cet exemple une forme générale en U, bien que d'autres formes soient possibles. Le bras menant 49 est maintenu en appui sur la portée interne 14 du poussoir 10 au moyen d'un ressort (non représenté), qui peut être par exemple un ressort hélicoïdal de torsion disposé au niveau de la vis de fixation 48 de la bascule 45. La tête du bras mené 51, qui comporte une portion terminale 52 recourbée vers l'extérieur, est maintenu en regard du correcteur sélectionné 9a par coopération de crans 43 formés, dans cet exemple, sur un bord de la plaquette 36 opposé à celui comportant la denture de crémaillère 37, et d'un sautoir 38 comportant un bec 40 pouvant s'engager dans un cran 43. Il est bien évident que l'homme de métier peut concevoir un autre dispositif d'immobilisation de la crémaillère 35, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.A rocker 45 is pivoted on one end of the rack 35 by means of a screw 48 fixed in the plate 36. The rocker 45 comprises a driving arm 49 and a driven arm 51 between which is a pivot point 47, the rocker having in this example a general U shape, although other shapes are possible. The driving arm 49 is held in abutment on the internal surface 14 of the pusher 10 by means of a spring (not shown), which may be for example a helical torsion spring disposed at the fastening screw 48 of the latch 45 The head of the driven arm 51, which has an end portion 52 bent outwards, is held facing the selected corrector 9a by cooperating notches 43 formed, in this example, on an edge of the wafer 36 opposite to that comprising the tooth rack 37, and a jumper 38 having a spout 40 engageable in a notch 43. It is obvious that one skilled in the art can design another device for immobilizing the rack 35 without leaving of the scope of the present invention.

Une fois la fonction sélectionnée, une pression, ou une série de pressions, sur le poussoir, comme représenté à la figure 3, fait pivoter la bascule 45 de façon à ce que le bras mené 51 vienne activer ladite fonction.Once the function is selected, a pressure, or a series of pressures, on the pusher, as shown in FIG. figure 3 , pivots the rocker 45 so that the driven arm 51 comes to activate said function.

La vue éclatée en perspective de la figure 6, dans laquelle les mêmes références sont utilisées, permet de mieux comprendre l'assemblage du dispositif selon l'invention, ainsi que d'autres détails de construction, en particulier au niveau de l'organe de commande extérieur 1 et de sa liaison mécanique avec la crémaillère 35.The exploded perspective view of the figure 6 , in which the same references are used, makes it possible to better understand the assembly of the device according to the invention, as well as other details of construction, in particular at the level of the external control member 1 and its mechanical connection with the rack 35.

Le poussoir 10 est constitué par deux éléments séparés, à savoir une tête 11 et un tube 13 destinés à être montés de part et d'autre du bouton de commande 15 en étant ensuite assemblés mécaniquement au moyen d'ailettes 12 venant de matière avec l'un ou l'autre des éléments 11, 13, ou constituant des pièces séparées. Cet assemblage peut être effectué par tout moyen connu de l'homme de l'art tel qu'un clipsage ou un montage à baïonnette. La figure 7 représente ces deux éléments, tels qu'ils seraient assemblés avant montage.The pusher 10 is constituted by two separate elements, namely a head 11 and a tube 13 intended to be mounted on either side of the control knob 15 and then mechanically assembled by means of fins 12 coming from one or other of the elements 11, 13, or constituting separate parts. This assembly can be performed by any means known to those skilled in the art such as clipping or bayonet mounting. The figure 7 represents these two elements, as they would be assembled before assembly.

Pour que l'assemblage des deux éléments 11, 13 soit possible le bouton de commande 15 comporte vers l'extérieur un évidemment circulaire 19 fermé par un fond 21 destiné à recevoir la tête de poussoir 11 et à en permettre le débattement radial par pressions sur la tête 11.In order for the assembly of the two elements 11, 13 to be possible, the control knob 15 has a circular recess 19 closed by a bottom 21 intended to receive the pusher head 11 and to allow radial deflection by pressure on the outside. the head 11.

Le fond 21 comporte deux lumières annulaires 22 permettant le passage des ailettes de liaison 12. L'ouverture angulaire des lumières 22 et des ailettes 12 est prévue de façon à ce que le bouton de commande 15 puisse être manoeuvré en rotation pour entraîner la crémaillère 35 entre ses deux positions extrêmes, sans agir sur le poussoir 10. Ces ouvertures angulaires sont prévues pour permettre un débattement angulaire du bouton de commande 15 d'environ 40°.The bottom 21 has two annular slots 22 allowing the passage of the connecting fins 12. The angular opening of the slots 22 and the fins 12 is provided so that the control knob 15 can be rotated to drive the rack 35 between these two extreme positions, without acting on the pusher 10. These angular openings are provided to allow an angular movement of the control knob 15 of about 40 °.

Le bouton poussoir 15 comporte en outre un organe de jonction 23 permettant à la fois le positionnement axial du tube de poussoir 13 et la liaison anti-rotation avec l'extrémité 26 de la tige de commande 25. Cette liaison peut être effectuée par tout moyen connu de l'homme de l'art, tel qu'un assemblage de type "frein-filet". Sur l'autre extrémité 27 est monté de la même façon un pignon d'entraînement 29. On observera que, dans ce mode de réalisation, la tige de commande 25 peut venir de matière avec l'organe de jonction 23.The pushbutton 15 further comprises a connecting member 23 allowing both the axial positioning of the pusher tube 13 and the anti-rotation connection with the end 26 of the control rod 25. This connection can be made by any means known to those skilled in the art, such as a "thread lock" type assembly. On the other end 27 is mounted in the same way a driving pinion 29. It will be observed that in this embodiment, the control rod 25 can be integral with the connecting member 23.

Sur la figure 6 on peut également voir que les bras 49, 51 de la bascule 45 comportent des surépaisseurs 49a, 51 a permettant un contact sécurisé avec respectivement la portée 14 du poussoir 10 et les correcteurs 9.On the figure 6 it can also be seen that the arms 49, 51 of the rocker 45 comprise extra thicknesses 49a, 51a allowing secure contact with respectively the bearing surface 14 of the pusher 10 and the correctors 9.

Les figures 4, 5 et 8 représentent un deuxième mode de réalisation qui diffère du mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit essentiellement en ce qui concerne la liaison entre la crémaillère 35 et l'organe de commande 1.The Figures 4, 5 and 8 represent a second embodiment which differs from the embodiment which has just been described essentially as regards the connection between the rack 35 and the control member 1.

Cette liaison est une adaptation du mécanisme bien connu d'une tige de remontoir/mise à l'heure au moyen d'un pignon coulant 30 par traction et manipulation de la couronne. A cet effet la tige de commande 25 comporte dans sa partie 27 orientée vers la crémaillère 35 une portion 27a de section carrée, et dans son autre partie 26 une gorge annulaire 28 dans laquelle vient s'engager le bras d'une tirette (non représentée).This connection is an adaptation of the well known mechanism of a winding / setting rod by means of a sliding pinion 30 by traction and manipulation of the crown. For this purpose the control rod 25 has in its portion 27 facing the rack 35 a portion 27a of square section, and in its other portion 26 an annular groove 28 in which is engaged the arm of a pull tab (not shown ).

Le pignon d'entraînement 29 est monté à libre rotation sur une partie cylindrique comprise entre la section carrée 27a et la partie 26 assurant la jonction avec le bouton de commande 15.The drive pinion 29 is mounted for free rotation on a cylindrical portion between the square section 27a and the portion 26 providing the junction with the control knob 15.

Le pignon d'entraînement 29 comporte comme précédemment une denture de chant 29a, mais il comporte en outre une denture annulaire en créneaux 29b prévue pour engrener avec une denture correspondante 34b du pignon coulant 30.The drive pinion 29 comprises, as before, a set of teeth 29a, but it furthermore comprises a ring-shaped annular toothing 29b designed to mesh with a corresponding toothing 34b of the sliding pinion 30.

Le pignon coulant 30 comporte de façon connue une gorge annulaire 32 dans laquelle vient s'engager un bras de la bascule (non représenté), et à son autre extrémité une denture Breguet 34a, permettant d'entraîner un autre mobile du mouvement..The sliding pinion 30 comprises in known manner an annular groove 32 in which is engaged an arm of the rocker (not shown), and at its other end a Breguet toothing 34a, to drive another mobile movement.

En position "sélection de fonction", le pignon 29 est entraîné indirectement par le pignon coulant 30, l'ensemble étant maintenu engréné par le ressort de la bascule 45. Lorsqu'on exerce une traction sur le bouton de commande 15, les dentures 29b et 34b sont désolidarisées et le dispositif bascule / tirette permet, par déplacement du pignon coulant 30, à la denture 34a d'engrener avec un autre mobile de la chaîne cinématique du mouvement horloger, par exemple pour remonter le ressort de barillet d'un mouvement mécanique, pour une mise à l'heure, ou pour toute autre fonction.In the "function selection" position, the pinion 29 is driven indirectly by the sliding pinion 30, the assembly being held in mesh with the spring of the lever 45. When the control knob 15 is pulled, the toothings 29b and 34b are disconnected and the device tilting / pulling allows, by displacement of the sliding pinion 30, to the toothing 34a to mesh with another mobile of the kinematic chain of the watch movement, for example to raise the mainspring barrel of a movement mechanical, for a time setting, or for any other function.

La description précédente donne à titre d'exemples deux modes de réalisation d'un dispositif correcteur coaxial multifonction pour une pièce d'horlogerie. Il est bien évident que l'homme de métier peut, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, concevoir d'autres variantes de réalisation, par exemple au niveau de la liaison mécanique entre le bouton de commande 15 et la tige de commande 25 à travers le poussoir 10.The preceding description gives as examples two embodiments of a multifunction coaxial corrector device for a timepiece. It is obvious that one skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the present invention, design other alternative embodiments, for example at the mechanical connection between the control knob 15 and the control rod 25 to through the pusher 10.
