Description

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de l'horlogerie. Elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif de correction pour pièce d'horlogerie, du type comportant une tige de remontoir, un train de renvoi et un mobile correcteur monté baladeur entre une première et une deuxième position de correction.The present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. More specifically, it concerns a correction device for a timepiece, of the type comprising a winding stem, a deflection gear and a corrective mobile mounted walker between a first and a second correction position.

De tels dispositifs de correction sont connus de l'homme de métier. Ils sont destinés à corriger deux organes d'indication de temps pour une même position de la tige de remontoir, chacun desdits organes étant corrigé dans un sens de rotation uniquement. A cet effet, le mobile correcteur est monté sur une bascule, ou sur un axe mobile le long d'une rainure en arc de cercle. La rotation de la tige de remontoir dans un premier sens, entraîne le train de renvoi, qui entraîne lui-même le mouvement de pivotement de la bascule ou le déplacement de l'axe dans sa rainure, jusqu'à une première position de correction. Le mobile correcteur est alors en liaison cinématique, directement, ou indirectement, par l'intermédiaire d'un renvoi, avec un premier organe d'indication de temps. La rotation de la tige de remontoir dans le sens inverse produit le mouvement inverse jusqu'à la deuxième position de correction, dans laquelle le mobile correcteur est en lien cinématique avec le deuxième organe d'indication de temps. Le dispositif de correction ainsi décrit est utilisé, par exemple, pour corriger un quantième, dans un sens de rotation, et un jour de la semaine, dans l'autre sens. Il peut également servir à corriger un quantième et une heure de sonnerie, ou un quantième et une heure locale. Quelles que soient les indications de temps ainsi corrigées, chacune n'est corrigée que dans un sens de rotation, ce qui peut rendre l'opération de correction longue et fastidieuse.Such correction devices are known to those skilled in the art. They are intended to correct two time indication members for the same position of the winding stem, each of said members being corrected in a direction of rotation only. For this purpose, the corrective mobile is mounted on a rocker, or on a movable axis along a groove arcuate. The rotation of the winding stem in a first direction, drives the gear, which itself causes the pivoting movement of the rocker or the displacement of the axis in its groove, to a first correction position. The corrective mobile is then in kinematic connection, directly or indirectly, via a reference, with a first time indicating member. The rotation of the winding stem in the opposite direction produces the reverse movement to the second correction position, in which the corrective mobile is in kinematic connection with the second time indicating member. The correction device thus described is used, for example, to correct a date, in a direction of rotation, and a day of the week, in the other direction. It can also be used to correct a date and a ring time, or a date and a local time. Whatever the time indications thus corrected, each is corrected only in one direction of rotation, which can make the correction operation long and tedious.

L'invention permet de pallier ce problème en proposant un système de correction comportant un mobile correcteur monté baladeur entre deux positions de correction, opérationnel dans les deux sens de rotation, pour chaque organe d'indication de temps. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un dispositif de correction pour pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un premier et d'un deuxième organe d'indication de temps comprenant une tige de remontoir, un mobile correcteur monté baladeur entre une première et une deuxième position de correction, dans lesquelles le mobile est en lien cinématique respectivement avec le premier et le deuxième organe d'indication de temps, et des moyens pour entraîner le mobile correcteur à l'aide de la tige de remontoir. Selon l'invention, le dispositif de correction comprend encore un mécanisme de sélection de la position de correction, comportant un bras sélecteur monté pivotant, coopérant par une première extrémité, avec le mobile correcteur pour l'entraîner de la première position de correction à la deuxième position de correction, un organe de positionnement angulaire du bras sélecteur, et un organe de commande de l'organe de positionnement angulaire, ledit organe de commande étant indépendant de la tige de remontoir.The invention makes it possible to overcome this problem by proposing a correction system comprising a mobile corrector mounted sliding between two correction positions, operational in both directions of rotation, for each time indicating member. More specifically, the invention relates to a correction device for a timepiece provided with a first and a second time indicating member comprising a winding stem, a corrective mobile mounted walker between a first and a second position correction, in which the mobile is in kinematic connection respectively with the first and second time indicating member, and means for driving the corrective mobile using the winding stem. According to the invention, the correction device also comprises a mechanism for selecting the correction position, comprising a pivotally mounted selector arm cooperating at a first end with the corrector wheel to drive it from the first correction position to the second correction position, an angular positioning member of the selector arm, and a control member of the angular positioning member, said control member being independent of the winding stem.

Grâce au bras sélecteur destiné à entraîner le mobile correcteur d'une première position de correction à une deuxième position de correction, lequel est actionné indépendamment de la tige de remontoir, le sens de rotation de la tige de remontoir n'a pas d'effet sur le positionnement du mobile correcteur. Il en résulte que chaque organe d'indication de temps peut être corrigé par le mobile correcteur dans les deux sens de rotation. Le dispositif de correction gagne ainsi en souplesse et en efficacité.Thanks to the selector arm intended to drive the corrector mobile from a first correction position to a second correction position, which is actuated independently of the winding stem, the direction of rotation of the winding stem has no effect on the positioning of the corrective mobile. As a result, each time indicating member can be corrected by the corrective wheel in both directions of rotation. The correction device thus gains in flexibility and efficiency.

Le dispositif de correction pour pièce d'horlogerie représenté en figure 1, et référencé dans son ensemble 1, comporte classiquement une tige de remontoir 2, mobile entre une position de remontage, et une position de correction. En variante, la tige de remontoir 2 est mobile entre une position de remontage et deux positions de correction. L'un et l'autre de ces agencements sont connus de l'homme de métier et ne seront pas décrits plus en détail.The correction device for a timepiece represented in figure 1 , and referenced as a whole 1, conventionally comprises a winding stem 2, movable between a winding position, and a correction position. Alternatively, the winding stem 2 is movable between a winding position and two correction positions. Both of these arrangements are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail.

Un pignon de correction 3 est monté sur la tige 2. Lorsque la tige de remontoir 2 est en position de correction, le pignon 3 est en prise avec un train de renvoi 4, formé, dans le cas présent, de trois renvois 5, 6 et 7 monté libres en rotation. On notera que le train de renvoi 4 peut comporter indifféremment plus ou moins de trois renvois, sans que le fonctionnement du dispositif de correction 1 n'en soit affecté. Le renvoi 7 est monté sur un axe de rotation 8, lequel est confondu avec l'axe de pivotement d'une bascule de correction 9. Celle-ci est montée pivotante entre deux positions de correction référencées respectivement A et B. Un mobile correcteur 10 est monté sur la bascule 9. Il est formé d'une roue correctrice 11 et d'un doigt correcteur 12, assemblés solidaires en rotation sur un axe commun 13, monté sur la bascule 9. Le mobile correcteur 10 est entraîné en rotation par le renvoi 7, en prise avec la roue correctrice 11.A correction pinion 3 is mounted on the rod 2. When the winding stem 2 is in the correction position, the pinion 3 is engaged with a gear 4, formed, in this case, three returns 5, 6 and 7 mounted free in rotation. Note that the return train 4 may comprise indifferently more or less than three references, without the operation correction device 1 is affected. The return 7 is mounted on an axis of rotation 8, which coincides with the axis of pivoting of a correction lever 9. This is pivotally mounted between two correction positions respectively referenced A and B. A correction mobile 10 is mounted on the rocker 9. It is formed of a corrector wheel 11 and a correcting finger 12 assembled together in rotation on a common axis 13, mounted on the rocker 9. The corrector mobile 10 is rotated by the reference 7, engaged with the correction wheel 11.

Dans la position de correction A représentée en figure 1, le mobile correcteur 10 est en lien cinématique avec un premier organe d'indication de temps, à savoir un anneau de quantième 14. A cet effet, le doigt correcteur 12 est en prise avec une denture 15 dudit anneau 14, ce qui permet la correction rapide de l'indication de date, comme il est bien connu de l'homme de métier.In the correction position A represented in figure 1 , the correction mobile 10 is in kinematic connection with a first time indicating member, namely a date ring 14. For this purpose, the correcting finger 12 is engaged with a toothing 15 of said ring 14, which allows the rapid correction of the date indication, as is well known to those skilled in the art.

Dans la position de correction B illustrée en figure 2, le mobile correcteur 10 est en lien cinématique avec un deuxième organe d'indication de temps, à savoir une paire d'aiguille 16 représentée en figure 6. A cet effet, la roue correctrice 11 est en prise avec un train de renvoi 17, lequel entraîne une chaussée 18, par l'intermédiaire de la roue 17b (grande roue avec le ressort au centre), solidaire en rotation avec une aiguille des minutes. La chaussée 18 entraîne, par l'intermédiaire d'un mobile de minuterie 19, une roue des heures 20, elle-même solidaire en rotation avec une aiguille des heures. Un tel assemblage est bien connu de l'homme de métier et permet la correction de l'indication de l'heure.In the correction position B illustrated in figure 2 , the corrective mobile 10 is in kinematic connection with a second time indicating member, namely a pair of needles 16 represented in FIG. figure 6 . For this purpose, the corrective wheel 11 is engaged with a gear 17, which drives a roadway 18, via the wheel 17b (large wheel with the spring in the center), integral in rotation with a minute hand . The roadway 18 drives, via a timer wheel 19, a wheel of the hours 20, itself rotatably secured with an hour hand. Such an assembly is well known to those skilled in the art and allows correction of the indication of the time.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de correction 1 représenté en figures 1 et 2, comporte encore mécanisme de sélection de la position de correction, comprenant un bras sélecteur 21, monté pivotant autour d'un axe 22. Ledit bras sélecteur 21 comporte une première extrémité 21 a solidaire en déplacement avec le mobile correcteur 10. A cet effet, l'extrémité 21 a comporte un orifice oblong 23 dans lequel est engagé l'axe 13. Le bras sélecteur 21 comporte encore une deuxième extrémité 21 b formée d'un bec 24. Celui-ci vient en appui, sous l'action d'un ressort à lame 25, sur un organe de positionnement angulaire 26 comportant deux types de secteurs d'appui 26a et 26b, correspondant respectivement aux positions de correction A et B. L'organe de positionnement angulaire 26 est monté pivotant de manière à présenter au bras sélecteur 21, alternativement un secteur d'appui ou l'autre. Dans le mode de réalisation présenté en figures 1 et 2, l'organe de positionnement angulaire 26 est formé d'une roue à colonnes, les secteurs d'appui 26a et 26b étant définis respectivement par le fond des espaces inter-colonnes et les colonnes. En variante, l'organe de positionnement angulaire 26 est formé d'une navette. Pour plus de précision, la position de correction A peut être définie par une goupille d'arrêt 45 montée à hauteur de l'extrémité 21a du bras sélecteur 21. La roue à colonne 26 est actionnée par un bouton poussoir 27 muni d'un bec 28. Le bouton poussoir 27 est disposé sensiblement au dessus de la tige de remontoir 2.According to the invention, the correction device 1 represented in figures 1 and 2 , further comprises a selection mechanism of the correction position, comprising a selector arm 21, pivotally mounted about an axis 22. Said selector arm 21 has a first end 21 integral in displacement with the corrector mobile 10. For this purpose, the end 21a has an oblong hole 23 in which is engaged the axis 13. The selector arm 21 further comprises a second end 21b formed of a spout 24. It bears, under the action of a leaf spring 25, on an angular positioning member 26 comprising two types of bearing sectors 26a and 26b, respectively corresponding to the correction positions A and B. The angular positioning member 26 is pivotally mounted so as to present to the selector arm 21, alternately a bearing sector or the other. In the embodiment presented in figures 1 and 2 , the angular positioning member 26 is formed of a column wheel, the bearing sectors 26a and 26b being respectively defined by the bottom of the inter-column spaces and columns. Alternatively, the angular positioning member 26 is formed of a shuttle. For greater accuracy, the correction position A may be defined by a locking pin 45 mounted at the end 21a of the selector arm 21. The column wheel 26 is actuated by a push button 27 provided with a spout 28. The push button 27 is disposed substantially above the winding stem 2.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de correction 1 ainsi présenté, est le suivant. Lorsque la tige de remontoir 2 est en position de correction, le pignon de correction 3 est positionné pour entraîner le mobile correcteur 10 en rotation, par l'intermédiaire du train de renvoi 4. L'utilisateur sélectionne l'organe d'indication de temps à corriger, à l'aide du bouton poussoir 27. Une première pression sur ledit bouton poussoir 27 permet d'entraîner en rotation d'un pas la roue à colonne 26, par le biais du bec 28. Sous l'action du ressort à lame 25, le bras sélecteur 21 bascule jusqu'à ce que le bec 24 vienne en appui au fond d'un espace inter-colonne 26a, ou, en variante, jusqu'à ce que son extrémité 21 a vienne en appui sur la goupille 45, ainsi que représenté en figure 1. Ce faisant, le bras sélecteur 21 entraîne le mobile correcteur 10 monté sur la bascule 9 par l'intermédiaire de son extrémité 21 a. En fin de mouvement, il positionne et maintient le mobile correcteur 10 en prise avec la denture 15 de l'anneau de quantième 14. Le dispositif de correction 1 est ainsi en position A. Si l'utilisateur actionne la tige de remontoir 2 dans un premier sens de rotation, l'anneau de quantième 14 tourne dans un premier sens de rotation, s'il l'actionne dans l'autre, l'anneau 14 tourne dans l'autre. Une deuxième pression sur le bouton poussoir 27, entraîne à nouveau la roue à colonne 26 en rotation d'un pas. Le bec 24 vient maintenant en appui sur une colonne 26b, tel que représenté en figure 2, et le bras sélecteur 21 bascule à l'encontre de l'action du ressort à lame 25, entraînant le mobile 10 dans son mouvement. Le bras sélecteur 21 positionne et maintient, cette fois, le mobile correcteur 10 en prise avec le train de renvoi 17. Le dispositif de correction 1 est en position B. L'indication d'heure et de minute peut être corrigée dans un sens de rotation ou l'autre, au gré de l'utilisateur. On notera ici que l'indication de la date peut être également corrigée, de façon classique, en position B, par l'intermédiaire de la correction de l'heure. Une troisième pression sur le bouton poussoir 27 permet de revenir à la situation de la figure 1, et des pressions successives ont pour effet de faire passer alternativement le dispositif de correction 1 d'une position à l'autre.The operation of the correction device 1 thus presented is as follows. When the winding stem 2 is in the correction position, the correction pinion 3 is positioned to drive the corrective wheel 10 in rotation, by means of the deflection gear 4. The user selects the time indicating member to be corrected, by means of the push button 27. A first pressure on said push button 27 makes it possible to rotate the column wheel 26 by means of the spout 28 under the action of the spring. blade 25, the selector arm 21 tilts until the spout 24 comes to rest at the bottom of an inter-column space 26a, or, alternatively, until its end 21 has come to bear on the pin 45, as shown in figure 1 . In doing so, the selector arm 21 drives the corrector 10 mounted on the latch 9 via its end 21a. At the end of the movement, it positions and maintains the corrective mobile 10 in engagement with the toothing 15 of the date ring 14. The correction device 1 is thus in position A. If the user actuates the winding stem 2 in a first direction of rotation, the date ring 14 rotates in a first direction of rotation, if it actuates it in the other, the ring 14 turns in the other. A second pressure on the push button 27 again causes the column wheel 26 to rotate by one step. The spout 24 now bears on a column 26b, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , and the selector arm 21 tilts against the action of the leaf spring 25, driving the mobile 10 in its movement. The selector arm 21 positions and maintains, this time, the corrective wheel 10 meshing with the gear 17. The correction device 1 is in position B. The hour and minute indication can be corrected in a direction of rotation or the other, at the discretion of the user. It should be noted here that the indication of the date can also be corrected, in a conventional manner, in position B, by means of the correction of the time. A third press on the push button 27 returns to the situation of the figure 1 and successive presses have the effect of alternately passing the correction device 1 from one position to the other.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 3, qui représente un deuxième mode de réalisation du dispositif de correction 1 selon l'invention. Ce mode de réalisation se distingue de celui décrit en référence aux figures 1 et 2, en ce que la première extrémité 21 a du bras sélecteur 21 n'est pas solidaire en déplacement avec le mobile correcteur 10, mais agencée pour venir en appui sur le mobile correcteur 10 ou sur la bascule 9. En outre, le mécanisme de sélection de la position de correction comporte encore un ressort à lame 29 agencé pour ramener le mobile correcteur 10, de la position de correction B à la position de correction A. Dans cette configuration, le ressort à lame 25 peut être supprimé, le bras sélecteur 21 étant maintenu en appui sur l'organe de positionnement 26 ou sur la goupille d'arrêt 45, indirectement, par l'action du ressort à lame 29.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif de correction 1 présenté en figure 3 est similaire, sur le principe, au fonctionnement du dispositif présenté en figures 1 et 2. Il s'en distingue, toutefois, en ce que le bras sélecteur 21 n'entraîne pas le mobile correcteur 10 au passage de la position B à la position A, car son extrémité 21 a n'est pas solidaire en déplacement avec ce dernier. C'est l'action du ressort à lame 29 qui permet au mobile correcteur 10 de passer en position de correction A lorsque le bec 24 du bras sélecteur 21 vient en appui au fond d'un espace inter-colonne 26a.We now refer to the figure 3 , which represents a second embodiment of the correction device 1 according to the invention. This embodiment differs from that described with reference to figures 1 and 2 , in that the first end 21a of the selector arm 21 is not integral in displacement with the corrector wheel 10, but arranged to bear on the corrector 10 or on the rocker 9. In addition, the selection mechanism the correction position further comprises a leaf spring 29 arranged to return the corrector mobile 10, the correction position B to the correction position A. In this configuration, the leaf spring 25 can be removed, the selector arm 21 being held in abutment on the positioning member 26 or on the locking pin 45, indirectly, by the action of the leaf spring 29.
The operation of the correction device 1 presented in figure 3 is similar, in principle, to the functioning of the device presented in figures 1 and 2 . It differs from it, however, in that the selector arm 21 does not cause the corrector 10 to move from position B to position A, because its end 21a is not integral in displacement with this last. It is the action of the leaf spring 29 which allows the corrector mobile 10 to move to the correction position A when the spout 24 of the selector arm 21 bears at the bottom of an inter-column space 26a.

Un troisième mode de réalisation du dispositif de correction 1 est représenté en figure 4. Ce mode de réalisation se distingue de celui décrit en référence à la figure 3, en ce que le mécanisme de sélection de la position de correction comporte, encore un bras indicateur 30, monté pivotant autour d'un axe 31. Ledit bras indicateur 30 comporte une première extrémité 30a solidaire en déplacement avec le mobile correcteur 10. A cet effet, l'extrémité 30a comporte un orifice oblong 32 dans lequel est engagé l'axe 13 du mobile correcteur 10. Une aiguille indicatrice du mode de correction 33 est montée solidaire en rotation du bras indicateur 30, sur l'axe 31. Un ressort à lame 34 vient en appui sur le bras indicateur 30, de manière à ramener le mobile 10 de la position B à la position A, par l'intermédiaire de l'extrémité 30a. Dans cette configuration, les ressorts à lame 25 et 29 sont superflus, car le bras sélecteur 21 est, cette fois, maintenu en appui sur l'organe de positionnement 26 indirectement, par l'action du ressort à lame 34.A third embodiment of the correction device 1 is represented by figure 4 . This embodiment differs from that described with reference to the figure 3 , in that the mechanism for selecting the correction position comprises, again an indicating arm 30, pivotally mounted about an axis 31. Said indicating arm 30 has a first end 30a integral in displacement with the corrector mobile 10. At this Indeed, the end 30a has an oblong orifice 32 in which is engaged the axis 13 of the corrective mobile 10. A pointer indicator of the correction mode 33 is mounted to rotate with the indicator arm 30, on the axis 31. A spring blade 34 bears on the indicator arm 30, so as to bring the mobile 10 from the position B to the position A, through the end 30a. In this configuration, the leaf springs 25 and 29 are superfluous, since the selector arm 21 is this time held in abutment with the positioning member 26 indirectly by the action of the leaf spring 34.

En figure 5, on a représenté un quatrième mode de réalisation du dispositif de correction 1 selon l'invention se distinguant du précédent en ce que l'aiguille indicatrice 33 est montée solidaire en rotation d'un pignon 35, et non pas du bras indicateur 30. Le pignon 35 est monté libre en rotation au voisinage du bras indicateur 30. Un bras de transmission 36 est monté solidaire en rotation du bras indicateur 30, sur l'axe 31. Il est terminé par un râteau 37 en prise avec le pignon 35.In figure 5 a fourth embodiment of the correction device 1 according to the invention is distinguished from the previous embodiment in that the indicator needle 33 is mounted to rotate with a pinion 35, and not the indicator arm 30. pinion 35 is rotatably mounted in the vicinity of the indicator arm 30. A transmission arm 36 is mounted to rotate with the indicator arm 30, on the axis 31. It is terminated by a rake 37 in engagement with the pinion 35.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 6 qui illustre une vue de dessus d'une pièce d'horlogerie munie du dispositif de correction 1 selon les troisième et quatrième modes de réalisation. Les aiguilles 16 sont mobiles au dessus d'un cadran 38, et l'anneau de quantième 14 est visible à travers un guichet 39. L'aiguille indicatrice du mode de correction 33 est mobile entre deux indications H (heure) et D (date), apposées sur le cadran 38 et correspondant aux positions de correction A et B.We now refer to the figure 6 which illustrates a top view of a timepiece provided with the correction device 1 according to the third and fourth embodiments. The needles 16 are movable above a dial 38, and the date ring 14 is visible through a window 39. The indicator needle of the correction mode 33 is movable between two indications H (time) and D (date), affixed to the dial 38 and corresponding to the correction positions A and B.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de correction 1 présenté en figures 4 à 6 diffère du fonctionnement du dispositif 1 présenté en figure 3, en ce que le mobile correcteur 10 est entraîné de la position de correction B à la position A, par le bras indicateur 30, sous l'action du ressort à lame 34, et non directement par le ressort à lame 29. De plus, la présence de l'aiguille indicatrice 33 permet d'indiquer le mode de correction sur le cadran 38. En effet, lorsque le mobile correcteur 10 passe de la position A à la position B sous l'action du bras sélecteur 21, le bras indicateur 30 est entraîné en rotation par l'intermédiaire de son extrémité 30a solidaire en déplacement avec le mobile correcteur 10. L'aiguille indicatrice 33 pivote de la position D (date) à la position H (heure), qu'elle soit solidaire en rotation avec le bras indicateur 30 ou entraînée par le bras de transmission 36. Inversement, lorsque le mobile correcteur 10 passe de la position B à la position A sous l'action du ressort à lame 34, l'aiguille indicatrice 33 pivote de la position H à la position D. L'utilisateur sait alors à tout moment s'il est en position de correction de la date ou de l'heure.The operation of the correction device 1 presented in Figures 4 to 6 differs from the operation of device 1 presented in figure 3 , in that the corrector wheel 10 is driven from the correction position B to the position A, by the indicator arm 30, under the action of the leaf spring 34, and not directly by the leaf spring 29. In addition, the presence of the indicator needle 33 makes it possible to indicate the correction mode on the dial 38. Indeed, when the correction mobile 10 passes from the position A to the position B under the action of the selector arm 21, the indicating arm 30 is rotated through its end 30a integral in displacement with the corrector mobile 10. The indicator needle 33 pivots from the position D (date) to the position H (hour), that it is rotationally fast with the indicator arm 30 or driven by the transmission arm 36. Conversely, when the correction wheel 10 passes from the position B to the position A under the action of the leaf spring 34, the indicator needle 33 pivots from the position H at position D. The user then knows to t when it is in the correct position for the date or time.

La figure 7 illustre un cinquième mode de réalisation du dispositif de correction 1 selon l'invention. Cette variante est destinée à une pièce d'horlogerie dotée d'un mécanisme d'entraînement de l'anneau de quantième 14 spécifique. Ledit mécanisme ne sera pas décrit en détail car il est bien connu de l'homme de métier. Pour la compréhension de l'invention, on se bornera à mentionner que ce mécanisme d'entraînement comporte un doigt d'entraînement 40 monté sur une bascule 41. Le doigt 40 effectue trois tours en 24 heures, dont deux sont effectués à l'écart de la denture 15, et un en prise avec la denture 15. A cet effet, le mécanisme d'entraînement de l'anneau de quantième 14 commande le pivotement de la bascule 41 tous les trois tours.The figure 7 illustrates a fifth embodiment of the correction device 1 according to the invention. This variant is intended for a timepiece equipped with a drive mechanism of the specific date ring 14. Said mechanism will not be described in detail because it is well known to those skilled in the art. For the understanding of the invention, it will be limited to mention that this drive mechanism comprises a drive finger 40 mounted on a latch 41. The finger 40 performs three turns in 24 hours, two of which are carried out of the toothing 15, and one engaged with the toothing 15. For this purpose, the drive mechanism of the date ring 14 controls the pivoting of the latch 41 every three turns.

Le dispositif de correction 1, associé à ce mécanisme d'entraînement spécifique, se distingue du dispositif décrit en figure 4 et 5, en ce que le bras indicateur 30 comporte une deuxième extrémité 30b muni d'un tenon 42 destiné à coopérer avec la bascule 41.The correction device 1, associated with this specific drive mechanism, differs from the device described in FIG. figure 4 and 5 , in that the indicator arm 30 has a second end 30b provided with a pin 42 intended to cooperate with latch 41.

La figure 8 illustre une vue de dessus d'une pièce d'horlogerie munie de ce cinquième mode de réalisation dispositif de correction 1 selon l'invention. Cette pièce d'horlogerie se différencie de la pièce d'horlogerie illustrée en figure 6, en ce qu'une troisième indication HD (hors date), voisine de l'indication D (date), est apposée sur le cadran 38.
Le fonctionnement de ce cinquième mode de réalisation du dispositif de correction 1 selon l'invention se distingue du fonctionnement décrit précédemment en ce qu'il comporte une position intermédiaire référencée C sur la figure 7. Lorsque la bascule 41 pivote de manière à mettre le doigt 40 en prise avec la denture 15, elle pousse le bras indicateur 30 par l'intermédiaire du tenon 42. Le bras indicateur 30 pivote légèrement, entraînant le mobile correcteur 10 dans une position intermédiaire C, à l'écart de la denture 15 de l'anneau de quantième 14. Dans cette position, le mobile correcteur 10 tourne à vide si l'utilisateur tente de corriger la date. Cette fonction permet d'éviter d'endommager, voire de casser, le doigt d'entraînement 40 ou le doigt correcteur 12, si le dispositif de correction 1 est manipulé sans précaution pendant le changement de quantième. Lorsque la bascule 41 pivote de manière à écarter le doigt 40 de la denture 15, le bras indicateur 30 pivote à son tour dans le sens inverse, et le mobile correcteur 10 revient en prise avec la denture 15 sous l'action du ressort 34. La date peut à nouveau être corrigée.The figure 8 illustrates a top view of a timepiece provided with this fifth embodiment correction device 1 according to the invention. This timepiece is different from the timepiece illustrated in figure 6 , in that a third indication HD (out of date), close to the indication D (date), is affixed to the dial 38.
The operation of this fifth embodiment of the correction device 1 according to the invention differs from the operation described above in that it comprises an intermediate position referenced C on the figure 7 . When the flip-flop 41 pivots so as to put the finger 40 in contact with the toothing 15, it pushes the indicator arm 30 via the pin 42. The indicator arm 30 pivots slightly, driving the corrector mobile 10 to an intermediate position C. , away from the toothing 15 of the date ring 14. In this position, the correction mobile 10 runs empty if the user tries to correct the date. This function makes it possible to avoid damaging, or even breaking, the drive finger 40 or the correcting finger 12, if the correction device 1 is handled without care during the change of date. When the flip-flop 41 pivots so as to move the finger 40 away from the toothing 15, the indicator arm 30 pivots in turn in the opposite direction, and the corrective wheel 10 comes into engagement with the toothing 15 under the action of the spring 34. The date can be corrected again.

Ainsi a été décrit un dispositif de correction 1 dont la capacité de correction est améliorée par rapport à un dispositif classique. Bien entendu, le dispositif de correction selon l'invention ne se limite pas aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits et diverses modifications et variantes simples peuvent être envisagées par l'homme du métier sans sortir du cadre de l'invention tel que défini par les revendications annexées.
On notera, en particulier, que dans les modes de réalisation présentés, le mobile correcteur 10 est monté baladeur entre deux postions de correction A et B, par l'intermédiaire d'une bascule 9. En variante, le mobile correcteur 10 pourrait être monté solidaire d'un axe, monté lui-même baladeur le long d'une rainure en arc de cercle.Thus, a correction device 1 has been described whose correction capacity is improved compared to a conventional device. Of course, the correction device according to the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described and various simple modifications and variants can be envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention such that defined by the appended claims.
It will be noted, in particular, that in the embodiments presented, the correction mobile 10 is mounted between two corrective positions A and B, via a lever 9. Alternatively, the corrector mobile 10 could be mounted integral with an axis, mounted itself walker along a groove arcuate.
