Abstract

The device has a snail cam (5) rotatably driven by a chronograph axle (6) that carries a second hand. A minute counter flip-flop (3) has a sensor (4) on a periphery of the cam, and a driving pawl (8) co-operating with a denture of a minute counter wheel (1) by a pawl spring (9). The cam is mounted by friction on a face of the axle, and has an opening receiving a finger (19) of a crank (20) pivoted in chronograph wheel (11). The cam and the crank are arranged such that an angular displacement of the crank causes an angular displacement of the cam with respect to the axle.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'entraînement et de réglage d'un compteur instantané, notamment d'un compteur de minutes instantané d'un chronographe.The present invention relates to a device for driving and adjusting an instantaneous counter, including an instant minute counter of a chronograph.

Plus particulièrement l'invention se rapporte à un compteur de minutes instantané d'un chronographe comprenant une came escargot entraînée en rotation par un axe qui porte une aiguille des secondes coopérant avec une graduation des secondes de chronographe. Une bascule de compteur de minutes, soumise à l'action d'un ressort de rappel, comporte un bec prenant appui sur la périphérie de la came escargot et un cliquet des minutes coopérant, sous l'action d'un ressort de cliquet porté par la bascule des minutes, avec la denture en dent de loup d'une roue de compteur de minutes de chronographe.More particularly, the invention relates to an instant minute counter of a chronograph comprising a snail cam driven in rotation by an axis which carries a second hand cooperating with a graduation of chronograph seconds. A counter of minutes counter, subjected to the action of a return spring, has a spout bearing on the periphery of the snail cam and a ratchet of minutes cooperating, under the action of a pawl spring carried by the minute rocker, with the toothache teeth of a chronograph minute counter wheel.

Dans de tels compteurs de minutes de chronographe instantanés il faut s'assurer qu'au moment où le bec de la bascule de compteur de minutes tombe de la partie la plus haute de la came escargot sur la partie la plus basse de cette came, le cliquet de compteur de minutes de chronographe provoque le saut d'un pas de la roue de compteur de minutes de chronographe et que ce moment coïncide à l'instant ou l'aiguille des secondes de chronographe passe sur la position zéro de la graduation avec laquelle elle coopère.In such instant chronograph minute counters it must be ensured that when the nose of the minute counter rocker falls from the highest part of the snail cam on the lower part of this cam, the chronograph minute counter ratchet causes the step of the chronograph minute counter wheel to be jumped and that moment coincides with the moment when the chronograph second hand moves to the zero position of the scale with which she cooperates.

Pour assurer ce réglage très fin il faut monter le mécanisme, l'essayer, puis le démonter et modifier la came escargot également chassée sur l'axe. Comme il faut effectuer ce réglage par approximations successives il s'en suit que la fixation de la came escargot sur l'axe devient fragile et non stable.To ensure this very fine adjustment it is necessary to mount the mechanism, to try it, then to disassemble it and to modify the snail cam also driven on the axis. As this adjustment must be made by successive approximations it follows that the fixing of the snail cam on the axis becomes fragile and not stable.

Le but de la présente invention est de procurer un dispositif de réglage permettant de réaliser le réglage de la position angulaire de la came escargot sur l'axe portant l'aiguille des secondes de chronographe dans de bonnes conditions, c'est-à-dire sans fragiliser la fixation de cette came escargot sur ledit axe pour obtenir une parfaite simultanéité du passage à zéro de l'aiguille des secondes et de la chute du bec de la bascule des minutes.The object of the present invention is to provide a setting device for performing the adjustment of the angular position of the snail cam on the axis bearing the chronograph seconds hand in good conditions, that is to say without weakening the fixation of this snail cam on said axis for to obtain a perfect simultaneity of the zero crossing of the second hand and the fall of the mouthpiece of the minute latch.

Le mécanisme de commande de la roue de compteur de minutes de chronographe instantané 1 est illustré à la figure 1. La roue de compteur de minutes 1 est maintenue entre ses actionnements successifs dans des positions angulaires déterminées par un sautoir 2.The control mechanism of the instant chronograph minute counter wheel 1 is illustrated in FIG. figure 1 . The minute counter wheel 1 is held between its successive actuations in angular positions determined by a jumper 2.

Ce mécanisme de commande comporte une bascule de compteur de minutes 3 pivotée en O présentant un palpeur 4 coopérant avec une came escargot 5 montée sur, et entraînée par, l'axe de chronographe 6. Cet axe de chronographe 6 porte à son extrémité supérieure l'aiguille des secondes de chronographe 7 et est solidaire de la roue de chronographe 11 et du coeur de remise à zéro des secondes chronographes 12.This control mechanism comprises a counter of minute counter 3 pivoted in O having a probe 4 cooperating with a snail cam 5 mounted on and driven by the chronograph axis 6. This chronograph axis 6 carries at its upper end the second chronograph seconds hand 7 and is integral with the chronograph wheel 11 and the reset heart of the second chronographs 12.

La bascule de compteur de minutes 3 comporte un cliquet d'entraînement 8 pivoté sur l'extrémité libre de cette bascule 3 et soumis à l'action d'un ressort de rappel 9, solidaire de la bascule 3, tendant à appliquer le bec 10 du cliquet d'entraînement 8 contre la denture en dent de loup de la roue de compteur de minutes 1 de chronographe.The counter of minute counter 3 comprises a drive pawl 8 pivoted on the free end of this rocker 3 and subjected to the action of a return spring 9, integral with the rocker 3, tending to apply the spout 10 driving ratchet 8 against the teeth in wolf teeth of the chronograph minute counter wheel 1.

A chaque fois, c'est à dire toutes les minutes, que le palpeur 4 tombe de la partie la plus haute H de la came escargot 5 sur la partie la plus basse h de cette came 5 sous l'action d'un ressort de bascule non illustré, le cliquet 8 entraîne par son bec 10 la roue de compteur de minutes de chronographe d'un pas.Each time, ie every minute, that the probe 4 falls from the highest part H of the snail cam 5 on the lowest part h of this cam 5 under the action of a spring of not shown rocker, the pawl 8 by its spout 10 the chronograph minute counter wheel a step.

Dans l'exemple illustré l'axe des secondes de chronographe 6 comporte une butée axiale 13 jouxtant une première portée de grand diamètre 14, une seconde portée 15 de plus petit diamètre que la première 14 sur laquelle est chassée à force la roue de chronographe 11 la rendant ainsi solidaire de l'axe de chronographe 6. Une troisième portée 16, de plus petit diamètre que la seconde 15, sert de pivot de centrage au coeur 12 de remise à zéro. Ce coeur 12 est fixé à l'aide d'une vis 17 sur la roue de chronographe 11. Enfin, l'extrémité opposée de l'axe de chronographe 6 porte l'aiguille des secondes de chronographe 7.In the example shown, the chronograph seconds axis 6 comprises an axial abutment 13 adjoining a first large diameter range 14, a second range 15 of smaller diameter than the first 14 on which the chronograph wheel 11 is forcibly driven. thus making it integral with the chronograph axis 6. A third scope 16, smaller in diameter than the second 15, serves as a centering pin in the heart 12 reset. This core 12 is fixed with a screw 17 on the chronograph wheel 11. Finally, the opposite end of the chronograph axis 6 carries the chronograph second hand 7.

La came escargot 5 du compteur de minutes est montée à frottement gras sur la première portée 14 de l'axe de chronographe 6 et se trouve prise en sandwich entre la butée axiale 13 de l'axe de chronographe 6 et la face inférieure de la roue de chronographe 11.The snail cam 5 of the minute counter is frictionally mounted on the first bearing 14 of the chronograph axis 6 and is sandwiched between the axial stop 13 of the chronograph axis 6 and the underside of the wheel. Chronograph 11.

Cette came escargot 6 comporte une lumière 18 dans laquelle est engrené le doigt 19 d'un excentrique 20 pivoté dans la roue de chronographe 11. En modifiant la position angulaire de cet excentrique 20 on modifie la position angulaire de la came escargot 5 par rapport à l'axe de chronographe 6 ce qui permet d'ajuster le positionnement angulaire de cette came escargot 5 très précisément pour que le bec 4 de la bascule 3 de compteur de minutes instantané de chronographe tombe de la partie haute H de la came escargot 5 sur sa partie basse h exactement au moment où l'aiguille des secondes de chronographe 7 passe à l'origine de la graduation avec laquelle elle coopère, indiquant O respectivement 60 secondes.This snail cam 6 comprises a slot 18 in which is engaged the finger 19 of an eccentric 20 pivoted in the chronograph wheel 11. By modifying the angular position of this eccentric 20, the angular position of the snail cam 5 is modified with respect to the chronograph axis 6 which allows to adjust the angular positioning of this snail cam 5 very precisely so that the spout 4 of the instant chronograph minute counter flip-flop 3 falls from the upper part H of the snail cam 5 on its lower part h exactly when the chronograph second hand 7 passes the origin of the graduation with which it cooperates, indicating O respectively 60 seconds.

Ce réglage fin s'effectue avant le serrage du coeur 12. Une fois le réglage effectué et testé, le coeur 12 est serré sur la roue de chronographe 11 à l'aide de la vis 17, ce faisant le coeur 12 bloque la tête de l'excentrique 20 en l'appliquant fortement contre la roue de chronographe 11, ce qui empêche tout dérèglement du dispositif de réglage. En effet, l'excentrique 20 est positionné de telle façon qu'il soit partiellement situé sous le coeur mais que son organe de manoeuvre, ici une fente 21, soit accessible même lorsque le coeur 12 est mis en place.This fine adjustment is carried out before tightening the core 12. Once the adjustment has been made and tested, the core 12 is tightened on the chronograph wheel 11 with the aid of the screw 17, thereby causing the core 12 to block the head of the wheel. the eccentric 20 by applying it strongly against the chronograph wheel 11, which prevents any disturbance of the adjustment device. Indeed, the eccentric 20 is positioned such that it is partially located under the heart but that its operating member, here a slot 21, is accessible even when the core 12 is put in place.

Ce dispositif de réglage est très simple, il ne comporte que peu de pièces et permet un réglage fin de la position angulaire de la came escargot 5 par rapport à l'axe de chronographe 6. De plus, le réglage peut se faire sans démonter le mécanisme de compteur minutes instantané et son blocage par le coeur 12 interdit tout déréglage intempestif. En effet, comme on le voit sur la figure 2 en court de montage du mécanisme de compteur de minutes instantané de chronographe, soit avant le blocage du coeur 12, l'horloger peut en tournant l'excentrique 20 à l'aide d'un tournevis introduit dans sa fente 21, modifier la position angulaire de la came escargot 5 par rapport à l'axe de chronographe d'un angle α pour que cette came 5 soit positionnée de manière à ce que la chute de la bascule 3 de compteur de minutes instantané de chronographe s'effectue exactement au moment où l'aiguille des secondes 7 portée par l'axe de chronographe 6 passe au zéro de sa graduation. Puis cette position étant trouvée et testée le coeur 12 est serré à l'aide de la vis 17 sur la roue de chronographe bloquant ainsi la tête de l'excentrique 20 qui se trouve partiellement sous le coeur 12.This adjustment device is very simple, it has only few parts and allows a fine adjustment of the angular position of the snail cam 5 relative to the chronograph axis 6. In addition, the adjustment can be done without removing the Instant minute counter mechanism and its blocking by the heart 12 prohibits any inadvertent adjustment. Indeed, as we see on the figure 2 in the short assembly of the chronograph instantaneous minute counter mechanism, ie before the blocking of the core 12, the watchmaker can by turning the eccentric 20 with a screwdriver inserted in its slot 21, modify the angular position of the snail cam 5 with respect to the chronograph axis of an angle α so that this cam 5 is positioned so that the fall of the instant chronograph minute counter flip-flop 3 takes place exactly at the moment when the second hand 7 carried by the chronograph axis 6 passes zero of its graduation. Then this position being found and tested the core 12 is tightened with the screw 17 on the chronograph wheel thus blocking the head of the eccentric 20 which is partially under the core 12.

Ainsi, ce dispositif de réglage du mécanisme de compteur de minutes instantané est simple, facile à monter et à régler et sûre.Thus, this setting device of the instant minute counter mechanism is simple, easy to mount and set and safe.

Ce mécanisme, décrit en relation avec un compteur de minutes instantané de chronographe, peut bien entendu être utilisé dans n'importe quel mécanisme d'entraînement d'un compteur instantané.This mechanism, described in connection with an instant chronograph minute counter, can of course be used in any drive mechanism of an instantaneous counter.

Dans des variantes, il n'est pas nécessaire que la roue de chronographe 11 jouxte la came escargot. Cette roue de chronographe pourrait être par exemple chassée sur l'extrémité inférieure de l'axe 6. Dans ce cas l'excentrique 20 est pivoté sur un support solidaire de l'axe 6.In variants, it is not necessary that the chronograph wheel 11 adjoins the snail cam. This chronograph wheel could be for example driven on the lower end of the axis 6. In this case the eccentric 20 is pivoted on a support secured to the axis 6.
