Definitions
- the invention belongs to the field of watchmaking. It relates more specifically to a timepiece, such as a watch, provided with an indication of the moon phases.
- Such timepieces are known to those skilled in the art. They generally include a moon phase mechanism, formed by a wheel driven by an hour wheel and a disk on which are affixed two representations of the moon. The disc is visible behind a window forming a generally semicircle, the diameter of which comprises two curved portions arranged so that the moon appears upward, full, and then down as it runs through the window.
- This classic representation of the moon phases does not allow a playful or surprising effect, even though such effects are highly sought after in watchmaking.
- it is not in conformity with the reality, because the inclination of the moon with respect to the axis 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock of the watch, varies according to its position in the window.
- the moon is represented by a face, as commonly happens, the face is first perpendicular to the 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock axis, then parallel, then perpendicular again. The effect obtained is neither realistic nor aesthetic.
- the present invention makes it possible to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a timepiece provided with an indication of the moon phases in which the representations of the moon are rotatable on the disk of the moon phases.
- the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a dial provided with a window behind which is mounted a disk of the moon phases rotated by a moon phase wheel.
- the disc is rotatably mounted around a fixed sun gear, and two satellite wheels, integral in rotation with representations of the moon, are rotatably mounted on the disk, engaged at least indirectly with the sun gear, so as to form with the sun gear, a planetary gear.
- the representations of the moon are rotatable on the disk of the moon phases, which allows a number of aesthetic and surprising effects.
- two intermediate references are mounted on the disk of the moon phases, interposed between the planet wheels and the sun gear.
- This feature allows the representations of the moon to rotate in the direction of rotation opposite to that of the moon phase disk.
- the planet wheels are provided with a toothing and the sun gear is provided with a toothing, the ratio of the number of teeth between the teeth of the planet wheels and the toothing of the sun gear being equal. to 1.
- This feature allows representations of the moon to rotate at the same angular velocity as the moon phase disk and in the opposite direction of rotation. As a result, the representations of the moon appear with a fixed inclination with respect to the axis 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock of the timepiece, when they pass through the window.
- the timepiece illustrated in figure 1 conventionally comprises a box 10 defining a volume in which is mounted a movement of mechanical or electromechanical type, not visible in figure 1 .
- the timepiece further comprises a dial 12 on which hours symbols are affixed, and display members 14, such as hands, cooperating with the dial 12 to provide an indication of the time.
- the timepiece is, furthermore, provided with a moon phase indication formed by a moon window 16, made in the dial 12, and a moon phase disk 18, rotatably mounted behind the window 16
- the moon phase disc 18 is conventionally provided with two representations of the moon 19a and 19b, arranged on the same diameter, on either side of the center, so as to appear in turn through the aperture 16.
- the moon phase disc 18 is the visible part of a moon phase mechanism 20 illustrated in FIG. Figures 2 and 3 .
- the phase mechanism of moon 20 is mounted on the dial side of a plate 22. It conventionally comprises a moon phase gear train 24 formed of a driving wheel 26 provided with a finger 28.
- the moon phase gear train 24 is driven in rotation at a rate of one turn per day, a 30-hour wheel, which draws its motive force from the movement.
- the finger 28 cooperates with the moon phase disc 18, so as to lead it in steps, at a rate of one step per day.
- the moon phase disc 18 is provided with a star gear 32, comprising 59 teeth. It is, moreover, positioned by a jumper 34. This arrangement is conventional and allows the moon phase disc 18 to perform a turn in 59 days, which corresponds to two lunations of 29.5 days.
- the moon phase gear train 24 comprises, interposed between the driving wheel 26 and the moon phase disk 18, a star of 7 carrying a pinion with 16 teeth, driven by the finger 28, and a 16 teeth return cooperating with the moon phase disk 18 and driven by the pinion 16 teeth.
- the disc 18 is then equipped with 135 teeth and performs a turn in 59.0625 days, which corresponds to two lunations of 29.53125 days, very close to the real value.
- Such an embodiment is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail.
- the moon phase disc 18 is rotatably mounted around a sun gear 36 fixedly mounted on the plate 22.
- the sun gear 36 is driven on a pin 38 mounted rigidly on the plate 22 through a lunation bridge 40.
- the lunation bridge 40 is formed of a straight bar, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 fixed at both ends to the plate 22.
- the bar comprises two convex portions 42a and 42b, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 . The interest of this arrangement will be explained later.
- the axis 38 is rigidly mounted in the plate 22 without lunation bridge 40.
- the moon phase disk 18 is shown in more detail in figure 4 .
- Two planet wheels 44a and 44b are rotatably mounted on the disc 18, with the aid of two planetary bridges 46a and 46b, respectively, or, alternatively, without a bridge.
- the planet wheels 44a and 44b are integral in rotation with two disks 48a and 48b on which symbolic or realistic images of the moon are affixed.
- the disks 48a and 48b form the moon representations 19a and 19b visible through the aperture 16.
- the planet wheels 44a and 44b mesh with two gears 50a and 50b rotatably mounted on the disk 18 by means of the planet gears 46a and 46b, or alternatively without a bridge.
- the references 50a and 50b are themselves engaged with the sun gear 36, so that the set of wheels 44 - references 50 - sun gear 36 forms a planetary gear.
- the teeth of the sun gear 36 and the planet wheels 44a, 44b have an identical number of teeth, while the references 50a, 50b are provided with any number of teeth.
- the planet wheels 44a and 44b engage directly with the sun gear 36.
- the planet wheels 44a and 44b have the possibility of turning faster or slower than the disk 18, according to the ratio of the number of teeth of the gears of the sun gear 36 and the planet wheels 44a, 44b. They can also rotate in the same direction as the disc 18, or in the opposite direction, depending on whether or not references 50a, 50b are interposed between the planet wheels 44a, 44b and the sun gear 36. These different variants allow all kinds of interesting playful effects.
- the ratio of the number of teeth of the toothings of the planet wheels 44a and 44b and the sun gear 36 is equal to 1.
- two links 50a and 50b are interposed between the planet wheels 44a and 44b respectively, and the sun gear 36.
- the disc 18 is mounted on the plate 22 without lunation bridge 40.
- the discs 48a and 48b are formed of two polarizing lenses whose polarization with respect to the 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock axis of the timepiece, is identical and defined. We choose, for example, as illustrated in figure 8 , to orient the polarizing glasses parallel to the axis 12 hours - 6 hours.
- the window 16 is circular. It is closed by a polarizing lens 52 formed of a lower half 52a and an upper half 52b complementary and contiguous.
- the diameter of the lower half 52a has two curved portions, so that the upper half 52b takes a form of classic moon window.
- the lower half 52a is polarized parallel to the 12 o'clock-6 o'clock axis, while the upper half 52b is polarized perpendicular to the same axis.
- the disks 48a and 48b run behind the two window halves 52a and 52b. Since the discs 48a and 48b have a fixed inclination with respect to the 12 o'clock-6 o'clock axis, their polarization remains parallel to this axis throughout their travel through the aperture 16. However, the superposition of two parallel polarization glasses appears transparent, whereas the superposition of two glasses of perpendicular polarization appears opaque. As a result, when they pass behind the upper half 52b of the window 16, the disks 48a and 48b are visible and appear opaque, whereas when they scroll behind the lower half 52a, they appear transparent, so very little visible. Their race thus includes an active part, when they are visible, and a passive part, when they are transparent.
- the disc 18 can be mounted on the plate 22 by means of a lunation bridge 40.
- a lunation bridge 40 comprising two curved portions 42a. and 42b, as illustrated in figure 3 .
- the planet wheels 44a, 44b, as well as the references 50a, 50b, are mounted on the dial side 12 of the moon phase disk 18.
- the solar pinion 36 is also mounted in the plate 22, dial side of the disc 18.
- This arrangement allows a large part of the planetary gear train formed by the wheels 44, the returns 50 and the pinion 36, to be visible through the window 16, this which can present an interesting playful effect.
- the person skilled in the art will choose to mount the platinum-side planetary gear 22 of the disc 18 so as to reveal, on the dial side 12, only the discs 48a, 48b on which images of the moon are affixed.
- This embodiment is of a much more conventional appearance and is particularly suitable for the embodiment with polarizing lenses.

Description
L'invention appartient au domaine de l'horlogerie. Elle concerne plus précisément une pièce d'horlogerie, telle qu'une montre, munie d'une indication des phases de lune.The invention belongs to the field of watchmaking. It relates more specifically to a timepiece, such as a watch, provided with an indication of the moon phases.
De telles pièces d'horlogerie sont connues de l'homme de métier. Elles comportent généralement un mécanisme de phase de lune, formé d'un rouage entraîné par une roue des heures et d'un disque sur lequel sont apposées deux représentations de la lune. Le disque est visible derrière un guichet formant globalement un demi-cercle, dont le diamètre comporte deux portions bombées agencées de telle sorte que la lune apparaît ascendante, pleine, puis descendante au fur et à mesure de sa course dans le guichet. Cette représentation classique des phases de lune ne permet pas d'effet ludique ou surprenant, alors même que de tels effets sont fortement recherchés en horlogerie. Par ailleurs, elle n'est pas conforme à la réalité, car l'inclinaison de la lune par rapport à l'axe 12 heures - 6 heures de la montre, varie en fonction de sa position dans le guichet. Lorsque la lune est représentée par un visage, comme cela arrive couramment, le visage est d'abord perpendiculaire à l'axe 12 heures - 6 heures, puis parallèle, puis à nouveau perpendiculaire. L'effet obtenu n'est ni réaliste, ni esthétique.Such timepieces are known to those skilled in the art. They generally include a moon phase mechanism, formed by a wheel driven by an hour wheel and a disk on which are affixed two representations of the moon. The disc is visible behind a window forming a generally semicircle, the diameter of which comprises two curved portions arranged so that the moon appears upward, full, and then down as it runs through the window. This classic representation of the moon phases does not allow a playful or surprising effect, even though such effects are highly sought after in watchmaking. Moreover, it is not in conformity with the reality, because the inclination of the moon with respect to the
La présente invention permet de pallier ces inconvénients, en proposant une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'une indication des phases de lune dans laquelle les représentations de la lune sont mobiles en rotation sur le disque des phases de lune.The present invention makes it possible to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a timepiece provided with an indication of the moon phases in which the representations of the moon are rotatable on the disk of the moon phases.
Plus précisément, l'invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un cadran muni d'un guichet derrière lequel est monté un disque des phases de lune entraîné en rotation par un rouage de phase de lune. Selon l'invention, le disque est monté mobile en rotation autour d'un pignon solaire fixe, et deux roues satellites, solidaires en rotation de représentations de la lune, sont montées mobiles en rotation sur le disque, en prise au moins indirectement avec le pignon solaire, de manière à former avec le pignon solaire, un rouage planétaire.More specifically, the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a dial provided with a window behind which is mounted a disk of the moon phases rotated by a moon phase wheel. According to the invention, the disc is rotatably mounted around a fixed sun gear, and two satellite wheels, integral in rotation with representations of the moon, are rotatably mounted on the disk, engaged at least indirectly with the sun gear, so as to form with the sun gear, a planetary gear.
Grâce aux caractéristiques de l'invention, les représentations de la lune sont mobiles en rotation sur le disque des phases de lune, ce qui permet nombre d'effets esthétiques et surprenants.Thanks to the characteristics of the invention, the representations of the moon are rotatable on the disk of the moon phases, which allows a number of aesthetic and surprising effects.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, deux renvois intermédiaires sont montés sur le disque des phases de lune, interposés entre les roues satellites et le pignon solaire.In a particular embodiment, two intermediate references are mounted on the disk of the moon phases, interposed between the planet wheels and the sun gear.
Cette caractéristique permet aux représentations de la lune de tourner dans le sens de rotation contraire à celui du disque des phases de lune.This feature allows the representations of the moon to rotate in the direction of rotation opposite to that of the moon phase disk.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux du précédent, les roues satellites sont munies d'une denture et le pignon solaire est muni d'une denture, le rapport du nombre de dents entre les dentures des roues satellites et la denture du pignon solaire étant égal à 1.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the above, the planet wheels are provided with a toothing and the sun gear is provided with a toothing, the ratio of the number of teeth between the teeth of the planet wheels and the toothing of the sun gear being equal. to 1.
Cette caractéristique permet aux représentations de la lune de tourner à la même vitesse angulaire que le disque des phases de lune et dans le sens de rotation contraire. Il en résulte que les représentations de la lune apparaissent avec une inclinaison fixe par rapport à l'axe 12 heures - 6 heures de la pièce d'horlogerie, lorsqu'elles défilent à travers le guichet.This feature allows representations of the moon to rotate at the same angular velocity as the moon phase disk and in the opposite direction of rotation. As a result, the representations of the moon appear with a fixed inclination with respect to the

La pièce d'horlogerie illustrée en
La pièce d'horlogerie est, en outre, munie d'une indication de phase de lune formée par un guichet de lune 16, pratiqué dans le cadran 12, et un disque de phase de lune 18, monté mobile en rotation derrière le guichet 16. Le disque de phase de lune 18 est classiquement muni de deux représentations de la lune 19a et 19b, disposées sur un même diamètre, de part et d'autre du centre, de façon à apparaître à tour de rôle à travers le guichet 16.The timepiece is, furthermore, provided with a moon phase indication formed by a
Le disque de phase de lune 18 est la pièce visible d'un mécanisme de phase de lune 20 illustré en
En variante de ce mode de réalisation, le rouage de phase de lune 24 comporte, interposés entre la roue entraîneuse 26 et le disque de phase de lune 18, une étoile de 7 portant un pignon à 16 dents, entraînée par le doigt 28, et un renvoi à 16 dents coopérant avec le disque de phase de lune 18 et entraîné par le pignon à 16 dents. Le disque 18 est alors muni de 135 dents et effectue un tour en 59.0625 jours, ce qui correspond à deux lunaisons de 29,53125 jours, très proches de la valeur réelle. Un tel mode de réalisation est connu de l'homme de métier et ne sera pas décrit plus en détail.In a variant of this embodiment, the moon
Selon l'invention, le disque de phase de lune 18 est monté mobile en rotation autour d'un pignon solaire 36 monté fixe sur la platine 22. A cet effet, le pignon solaire 36 est chassé sur un axe 38 monté rigidement sur la platine 22 par l'intermédiaire d'un pont de lunaison 40. Le pont de lunaison 40 est formé d'une barrette droite, telle qu'illustrée en
Le disque de phase de lune 18 est représenté plus en détail en
Les roues satellites 44a et 44b engrènent avec deux renvois 50a et 50b montés mobiles en rotation sur le disque 18 à l'aide des ponts planétaires 46a et 46b, ou, en variante, sans pont. Les renvois 50a et 50b sont eux-mêmes en prise avec le pignon solaire 36, de sorte que l'ensemble roues 44 - renvois 50 - pignon solaire 36 forme un rouage planétaire. Avantageusement, les dentures du pignon solaire 36 et des roues satellites 44a, 44b comportent un nombre de dents identique, tandis que les renvois 50a, 50b sont dotés d'un nombre de dents quelconque. En variante de ce mode de réalisation, les roues satellites 44a et 44b sont en prise directement avec le pignon solaire 36.The
Le fonctionnement de la pièce d'horlogerie ainsi décrite est illustré sur les
On notera que dans les autres modes de réalisation décrits, les roues satellites 44a et 44b ont la possibilité de tourner plus ou moins vite que le disque 18, selon le rapport du nombre de dents des dentures du pignon solaire 36 et des roues satellites 44a, 44b. Elles peuvent également tourner dans le même sens que le disque 18, ou dans le sens opposé, selon que des renvois 50a, 50b sont interposés ou non entre les roues satellites 44a, 44b et le pignon solaire 36. Ces différentes variantes permettent toutes sortes d'effets ludiques intéressants.It will be noted that in the other embodiments described, the
On se réfèrera maintenant à la
Par ailleurs, les disques 48a et 48b sont formés de deux verres polariseurs dont la polarisation par rapport à l'axe 12 heures - 6 heures de la pièce d'horlogerie, est identique et définie. On choisit, par exemple, comme illustré en
Le guichet 16 est circulaire. Il est obturé par un verre polariseur 52 formé d'une moitié inférieure 52a et d'une moitié supérieure 52b complémentaires et accolées. Le diamètre de la moitié inférieure 52a comporte deux portions bombées, de sorte que la moitié supérieure 52b prend une forme de guichet de lune classique. La moitié inférieure 52a est polarisée parallèlement à l'axe 12 heures - 6 heures, tandis que la moitié supérieure 52b est polarisée perpendiculairement au même axe.The
Lorsque le disque 18 est entraîné en rotation, les disques 48a et 48b défilent derrière les deux moitiés de guichet 52a et 52b. Les disques 48a et 48b ayant une inclinaison fixe par rapport à l'axe 12 heures - 6 heures, leur polarisation reste parallèle à cet axe durant toute leur course à travers le guichet 16. Or la superposition de deux verres de polarisation parallèle apparaît transparente, alors que la superposition de deux verres de polarisation perpendiculaire apparaît opaque. II en résulte que lorsqu'ils défilent derrière la moitié supérieure 52b du guichet 16, les disques 48a et 48b sont visibles et apparaissent opaques, alors que lorsqu'ils défilent derrière la moitié inférieure 52a, ils apparaissent transparents, donc très peu visibles. Leur course comporte donc une partie active, lorsqu'ils sont visibles, et une partie passive, lorsqu'ils sont transparents.When the
L'effet visuel obtenu pour l'affichage des phases de lune est particulièrement esthétique. Il est illustré en
On notera que dans ce mode de réalisation, le disque 18 peut être monté sur la platine 22 par l'intermédiaire d'un pont de lunaison 40. Dans ce cas, on utilisera de préférence, un pont de lunaison 40 comportant deux portions bombées 42a et 42b, tel qu'illustré en
Ainsi a été décrite une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'une indication de phase de lune améliorée. Il va de soi que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisations qui viennent d'être décrits, et que diverses modifications et variantes simples peuvent être envisagées par l'homme de métier, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention telle que définie par les revendications annexées.Thus has been described a timepiece provided with an improved moon phase indication. It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments that have just been described, and that various modifications and simple variants can be envisaged by those skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
On notera, en particulier, que dans les modes de réalisation décrits, les roues satellites 44a, 44b, ainsi que les renvois 50a, 50b, sont montés du côté cadran 12 du disque de phase de lune 18. Dans ce cas, le pignon solaire 36 est également monté dans la platine 22, côté cadran du disque 18. Ce montage permet à une grande partie du rouage planétaire formé par les roues 44, les renvois 50 et le pignon 36, d'être visible à travers le guichet 16, ce qui peut présenter un effet ludique intéressant. En variante, l'homme de métier choisira de monter le rouage planétaire côté platine 22 du disque 18, pour ne laisser apparaître, côté cadran 12, que les disques 48a, 48b sur lesquels sont apposées des images de la lune. Cette forme d'exécution est d'apparence beaucoup plus classique et se prête particulièrement au mode de réalisation avec verres polariseurs.It will be noted, in particular, that in the embodiments described, the
