Abstract

Mécanisme d'échappement (1) comportant une roue d'échappement (3) soumise à un couple de pivotement et un résonateur (4) solidaire d'un mobile régulateur (5) monté pivotant, ladite roue d'échappement (3) comportant une pluralité d'actionneurs (6) régulièrement espacés sur sa périphérie, chacun agencé pour coopérer directement avec au moins une première piste (7) dudit mobile régulateur (5).Exhaust mechanism (1) comprising an escapement wheel (3) subjected to a pivoting torque and a resonator (4) integral with a pivotally mounted regulating wheel (5), said escape wheel (3) comprising a a plurality of actuators (6) regularly spaced on its periphery, each arranged to cooperate directly with at least one first track (7) of said mobile regulator (5).

Chaque dit actionneur (6) comporte une première surface (61) magnétisée, respectivement électrisée, ou ferromagnétique, ou respectivement conductrice électrostatique, agencée pour coopérer avec ladite première piste (7) qui est magnétisée, respectivement électrisée, ou ferromagnétique, ou respectivement conductrice électrostatique, pour repousser ou attirer chaque dite première surface (61) dudit actionneur (6). Et chaque dit actionneur (6) comporte une butée mécanique (9) agencée pour coopérer, en butée de limitation de course, avec au moins une première surface complémentaire de butée (10) que comporte ledit mobile régulateur (5) pour constituer avec elle un mécanisme d'échappement autonome.

Each said actuator (6) comprises a first surface (61) magnetized, respectively electrified, or ferromagnetic, or respectively electrostatic conductive, arranged to cooperate with said first track (7) which is magnetized, respectively electrified, or ferromagnetic or respectively electrostatic conductor , to repel or attract each said first surface (61) of said actuator (6). And each said actuator (6) comprises a mechanical stop (9) arranged to cooperate, in stroke limiting abutment, with at least a first abutment complementary surface (10) that comprises said movable regulator (5) to constitute with it a autonomous exhaust mechanism.
