Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a calendar mechanism, and more particularly to a perpetual calendar mechanism.
  • the usual perpetual calendar mechanisms use cams of 12 or 48, depending on whether the latter performs one revolution respectively every year or every 4 years, with notches of different depths for months having less than 31 days.
  • the February notch also contains a Maltese cross indexed every year and which determines a lower depth for leap years.
  • On the cams used in these date display mechanisms acts the beak of a lever, recalled by a spring, to determine the advance of the date indicator at the end of the month depending on the depth in which the latter is engaged.
  • this cam system only makes it possible to synchronize a date wheel and the basic movement in a given direction, such as so that the date values can only be incremented and not decremented during a time setting operation.
  • the solution disclosed in the document CH680630 proposes for example a perpetual calendar mechanism comprising a program wheel driven by protruding teeth of a 24-hour wheel, and on which is arranged a gear train so that it is always driven by the number of steps corresponding to the differential. between the number of days of the month and 31.
  • This mechanism is devoid of any lever, rocker and spring except for a jumper for indexing the date wheel; however, the gear system is very complex with many satellite wheels, provided with long teeth for catching indexing, and arranged eccentrically on the program wheel, and each dedicated to a particular correction.
  • the gear system is very complex with many satellite wheels, provided with long teeth for catching indexing, and arranged eccentrically on the program wheel, and each dedicated to a particular correction.
  • the document EP1351104 offers an alternative to the previous solution, aimed at reducing the number of components on the program wheel.
  • the disclosed calendar mechanism proposes for this purpose a program wheel provided with movable elements with retractable teeth, sliding between active and inactive positions.
  • This device effectively reduces the overall thickness of the program wheel; however, the sliding movable elements have very particular shapes and must be placed precisely between abutments and shoulders of complex geometric shapes.
  • the control device still comprises many satellite wheels with teeth of unequal length acting as cam surfaces on the sliding elements. Thus both the reliability of the gear is questioned and the wear of the various parts of the control device is accentuated because of the many guide surfaces for the sliding elements.
  • the document US143618 also describes a date mechanism to correct every month less than 31 days with a single retractable tooth "r” superimposed on the toothing of a calendar wheel of 31 teeth driven every day a step by a daily indexing tooth "a” arranged on a tree making a turn every 24 hours.
  • the radial position of this single retractable tooth is variable towards the outside, so that a second catching tooth "b" for the months of less than 31 days, integral with the same tree as the tooth d "daily indexation” may, depending on the case, result in 1, 2 or 3 steps depending on the number of days in the month.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an alternative solution, of simplified construction, to the usual calendar mechanisms, the time adjustment and date can be synchronized in both directions.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a solution that minimizes the energy losses during the various indexing operations, and in particular the catch-up indexing at the end of the months of less than 31 days.
  • An advantage of the proposed solution is to require only a reduced number of elements for the program wheel and simple geometric pieces for retractable teeth.
  • Another advantage of the proposed solution is to guarantee a better gear safety thanks to a reliable positioning of the retractable teeth, deep and each conditioned by a single degree of freedom in rotation.
  • An additional advantage of the proposed solution is improved durability due to limited wear for each retractable tooth during respective indexing operations.
  • Another advantage of the proposed solution is to be able to change each retrofit, for the automatic indexing of the date in months of less than 31 days, in a modular way, gear plane by gear plane.
  • the calendar mechanism according to the invention is preferably a perpetual calendar mechanism with display of weekdays, 24 hours, months and leap years.
  • different modules that make up this calendar mechanism may also be used independently of each other for other types of calendar mechanisms, and that the program wheel may also be adapted to simpler mechanisms.
  • 30-day annual or monthly calendar mechanisms adjusting the number of pivoting teeth and the number of gear planes.
