Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un mécanisme de transmission de mouvements axiaux et rotatifs entre deux axes décalés trouvant une application particulière dans un mécanisme de mise à l'heure et de remontage d'une pièce d'horlogerie et plus particulièrement à un tel mécanisme comportant une couronne de remontoir actionnant une tige de remontoir et de mise à l'heure.The present invention relates to a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two offset axes finding a particular application in a mechanism for setting the time and winding of a timepiece and more particularly to such a mechanism comprising a crown of winding operating a winding and setting time.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention a trait à un tel mécanisme dont la tige de remontoir et de mise à l'heure est en deux parties d'axes situés dans des plans parallèles mais décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre. De tels mécanismes de remontage et de mise à l'heure à tige en deux pièces décalées sont particulièrement utiles pour des mouvements à complications, notamment modulaires, car dans de tels mouvements la tige de remontoir se trouve décalée par rapport au plan médian du mouvement ce qui est un inconvénient du point de vue pratique et surtout esthétique.More particularly, the present invention relates to such a mechanism whose winding stem and setting time is in two parts of axes located in parallel planes but offset with respect to each other. Such mechanisms of winding and setting time rod stem two offset parts are particularly useful for complicated movements, including modular, because in such movements the winding stem is offset from the median plane of the movement. which is a disadvantage from the practical and especially aesthetic point of view.
On connaît un tel dispositif de remontage et de mise à l'heure du document
Pour pallier ces inconvénients la titulaire à développé un tel mécanisme de transmission de mouvement axiaux et rotatifs entre deux axes, notamment d'un mécanisme de remontage et de mise à l'heure comportant une tige de remontage en deux parties d'axes situés dans des plans parallèles reliées cinématiquement en rotation et en translation mais qui évite une inversion du sens de rotation des deux parties de la tige de remontage et qui facilite l'emboîtage du mouvement dans la boîte de montre.To overcome these drawbacks, the incumbent has developed such a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary motion between two axes, in particular a winding and setting mechanism including a winding rod in two parts of axes located in parallel planes kinematically connected in rotation and in translation but which avoids a reversal of the direction of rotation of the two parts of the winding rod and which facilitates the casing of the movement in the watch case.
Ce mécanisme, décrit dans le document
Ce mécanisme comporte toutefois un inconvénient qui est son encombrement car l'ensemble mobile est constitué de deux plaques fixées ensemble et dans des plans parallèles à l'aide de rivets. Cet ensemble mobile est donc forcément épais et nécessite un espace important entre la carrure de la boîte de montre et le mouvement. Un autre inconvénient de cette construction est qu'elle nécessite l'utilisation d'un cercle d'emboîtage.However, this mechanism has a disadvantage that is its size because the movable assembly consists of two plates secured together and in parallel planes using rivets. This moving assembly is necessarily thick and requires a large space between the middle of the watch case and movement. Another disadvantage of this construction is that it requires the use of a casing ring.

Ce mécanisme se distingue par le fait que l'ensemble mobile est constitué d'une seule pièce plane et que cette pièce plane comporte au moins un bras élastique formant avec le corps de cette pièce plane un palier pour l'extrémité interne de la seconde partie de la tige.This mechanism is distinguished by the fact that the moving assembly consists of a single flat part and that this flat part comprises at least one elastic arm forming with the body of this flat part a bearing for the inner end of the second part of the stem.

L'extrémité extérieure de la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir est formée d'un premier pignon 13 venu d'une pièce de fabrication avec cette première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir. A proximité immédiate de ce premier pignon 13 cette première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir présente une gorge 14. Cette extrémité extérieure de la première partie 8 de la tige, formée par le premier pignon 13, est libre et ne coopère en aucune façon avec la carrure 2 de la boîte de montre ce qui facilite grandement le montage du dispositif et les opérations de services après-vente.The outer end of the

Cette pièce de liaison 19 comporte un support élastique 22, de forme générale rectiligne dans cette forme d'exécution particulière, dont l'extrémité libre comporte une première surface cylindrique 23 et une première face inclinée 24. La surface cylindrique 23 est disposée en regard d'une seconde surface cylindrique 25 pratiquée dans la tranche du corps de la pièce de liaison 19. Ensemble ces deux surfaces cylindriques 23, 25 forment un palier pour la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir.This connecting

Pour assembler la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir sur la pièce de liaison 19 on place cette première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir perpendiculairement au plan de la pièce de liaison 19 de telle façon que sa gorge 14 soit en regard des première et seconde faces inclinées 24, 26 de la pièce de liaison puis on pousse la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir en direction du palier constitué par les première et seconde surfaces cylindriques 23, 25 de la pièce de liaison 19. Le support élastique 22 s'écarte du corps de la pièce de liaison, laisse pénétrer la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir dans le palier formé par les première et seconde surfaces cylindriques 23, 25. Le support élastique 22 reprend sa position et maintien la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir assemblée à la pièce de liaison. Dans cette position (
L'assemblage de la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir sur la pièce de liaison 19 est facile et rapide, par encliquetage, et permet un démontage tout aussi aisé, notamment du fait que l'extrémité externe libre de cette première partie 8 de la tige n'a pas besoin de coopérer avec la carrure de la boîte de montre.The assembly of the
La pièce de liaison 19 comporte encore un bras élastique 27 présentant une forme incurvée dont l'extrémité libre, située sensiblement dans le prolongement du support élastique 22 de la pièce 19, présente une face d'appui 28.

piece 19 is oriented angularly by rotation about the axis of thefirst portion 8 of the winding stem, so that its widenedpassage 33 is centered on thetube 6 passing through themiddle part 2. - 6. The
second part 9 of the winding stem, with or without its winding crown, is introduced laterally into thetube 6 passing through themiddle part 2, itsstop 16 passes into theenlarged passage 33 and itsgroove 18 is placed in the plane of the connectingpiece 19. - 7. The connecting piece is then pivoted about the axis of the
first portion 8 of the winding stem towards thesecond portion 9 of the winding stem so that it is coupled by snapping on this connecting piece by elastic deformation of theelastic arm 27. - 8. The
bottom 1 of the box can then be fixed on themiddle part 2.
Pour démonter le mécanisme il suffit de retirer le fond 1 de la boîte de montre et de pousser avec un outil sur la face d'appui 28 du bras élastique 27 de la pièce de liaison 19 pour la faire pivoter et la désaccoupler de la seconde partie 9 de la tige de remontage. Cette seconde partie 9 de la tige de remontage peut alors être extraite latéralement hors de la boîte de montre. Ensuite, le mouvement, la pièce de liaison 19 et la première partie 8 de la tige peuvent être extraits de la carrure 2 perpendiculairement au plan de la boîte de montre la première partie 8 de la tige n'interférant pas avec ladite carrure 2. En effet, l'extrémité externe de cette première partie 8 de la tige, formée du premier pignon 13 est en porte-à-faux n'ayant aucun contact avec la carrure 2.To disassemble the mechanism simply remove the
La première partie 8 de la tige peut être extraite latéralement du mouvement et séparée de la pièce de liaison 19.The
Bien entendu il est avantageux que les première 8 et seconde 9 parties de la tige de remontoir soient chacune en une seule pièce toutefois dans des variantes les premier 13 et second 17 pignons pourraient être rapportés sur leur partie de tige respective.Of course it is advantageous that the first 8 and second 9 parts of the winding stem are each in one piece however in variants the first 13 and second 17 gears could be reported on their respective rod portion.
De préférence, la pièce de liaison 19 est réalisée en acier ressort mais un autre matériau pourrait être utilisé pour autant qu'il permette l'accouplement de cette pièce de liaison 19 par encliquetage aux première 8 et seconde 9 parties de la tige de remontoir.Preferably, the connecting
Le passage élargi 33 de la pièce de liaison 19 n'est pas indispensable, il faut simplement que le passage continuant l'extrémité des troisième 31 et quatrième 32 faces inclinées jusqu'à l'extrémité du bras élastique 27 soit suffisamment large pour laisser passer axialement la butée 16 de la seconde partie 9 de la tige de remontoir.The widened
Dans cette réalisation particulière ce mécanisme présente des avantages importants car son encombrement, notamment dans le sens perpendiculaire aux axes des parties 8, 9 de la tige de remontoir est très réduit la pièce de liaison étant peu épaisse. De plus, sa réalisation et son montage sont aisés et les deux parties de la tige de remontoir tournent dans le même sens.In this particular embodiment, this mechanism has important advantages because its size, especially in the direction perpendicular to the The axes of the
Un tel mécanisme de transmission de mouvement axiaux et rotatifs entre deux axes situés dans deux plans parallèles peut être appliqué dans des pièces d'horlogerie ayant un mouvement seul ou comportant un ou des mécanismes additionnels soit pour le remontage et la mise à l'heure, soit pour l'actionnement d'une fonction de quantième ou de réveil etc.Such a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two axes located in two parallel planes can be applied in timepieces having a movement alone or with one or more additional mechanisms either for reassembly and setting the time, for activating a calendar or alarm function, etc.
Dans une variante le renvoi provoquant l'inversion du mouvement de rotation pour que les deux parties de tige tournent dans le même sens peut-être remplacé par un train d'engrenage comportant un nombre impair de rouages, ceci peut-être nécessaire si la distance séparant les deux plans dans lesquels se trouvent les deux parties de la tige est grande.In a variant the return causing the inversion of the rotational movement so that the two rod parts rotate in the same direction can be replaced by a gear train having an odd number of wheels, this may be necessary if the distance separating the two planes in which are the two parts of the stem is large.
Le mécanisme décrit peut également être utilisé dans des applications non horlogères partout où il s'agit de transmettre entre deux axes, situés dans des plans parallèles, des mouvements axiaux et rotatifs.The described mechanism can also be used in non-horological applications wherever it is necessary to transmit between two axes, located in parallel planes, axial and rotary movements.
Dans une seconde forme d'exécution illustrée à la
Dans d'autre variante il pourrait y avoir plusieurs renvois 21 formant une chaîne cinématique reliant le premier pignon 13 au second pignon 17, tous ces renvois 21 étant pivotés sur la pièce de liaison plane unique 19.In another variant there could be
Dans le cas ou il n'y a pas de renvoi 21, ou si le nombre de ces renvois est pair, la rotation de la couronne pour une mise à l'heure sera inversée par rapport à ce qui est habituel mais tous les autres avantages du dispositif sont conservés.In the case where there is no
Les
Le corps de la pièce plane de liaison comporte une surface cylindrique 29 tandis que le bras élastique 36 comporte une surface cylindrique 30 située en regard de la surface cylindrique 29 portée par le corps de la pièce de liaison 37. Ces deux surfaces cylindriques 29, 30 forment un palier pour la gorge 18 de la seconde partie 9 de la tige qui porte le pignon 17 et qui est constituée de manière identique à ce qui est décrit en relation de la première forme d'exécution du dispositif de transmission.The body of the flat connecting piece has a
Cette pièce de liaison 37 comporte encore un évidement 34 reliant le palier 29, 30 à la périphérie de ladite pièce 37 allant en s'évasant à partir dudit palier 29, 30, suffisamment large pour introduire la butée 16 de la seconde partie 9 de la tige perpendiculairement au plan de la pièce de liaison 37.This connecting
Cette pièce de liaison 37 comporte encore un perçage 35 destiné à recevoir l'extrémité, de plus petit diamètre, de la première partie 8 de la tige sur laquelle le premier pignon 13 est chassé.This connecting
L'extrémité libre du bras élastique 36 comporte une face d'appui 28 comme dans les formes d'exécutions précédentes.The free end of the
Dans une telle réalisation la première partie 8, de la tige et le premier pignon 13 sont prés montés sur la pièce de liaison 37. Ce pré montage est ensuite introduit dans le mouvement puis cet ensemble est placé dans la boite de montre. La pièce de liaison est alors déplacée angulairement pour que l'évidement 34 soit en regard du tube 6 traversant la carrure de la boite de montre. Ensuite, la seconde partie 9 de la tige est introduite à travers le tube 6 pour placer sa gorge 18 dans le plan de la pièce de liaison 37. Enfin, une rotation de cette pièce de liaison permet l'encliquetage de la seconde partie de la tige dans le palier 29, 30 de la pièce de liaison 37 par déformation élastique du bras élastique 36 de celle-ci.In such an embodiment the
Bien entendu dans des variantes de cette troisième forme d'exécution, un ou plusieurs renvois pourraient être pivotés sur la pièce de liaison 37 pour relier cinématiquement le premier pignon 13 au second pignon 17.Of course, in variants of this third embodiment, one or more references could be pivoted on the connecting
Dans toutes les formes d'exécution le bras élastique incurvé 27, 36 définit avec le corps de la pièce 19, 37 de liaison un espace vide concentrique au palier 23, 25, 35 recevant la première partie 8 de la tige de remontoir ce qui permet l'encliquetage de la seconde partie 9 de la tige dans le palier 29, 37 de la pièce de liaison 19, 37 par rotation de celle-ci autour de l'axe de la première partie 8 de la tige.In all the embodiments, the curved
