Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch component with a flexible pivot.
  • DE 201823 discloses an exhaust rocker guided by a flexible pivot comprising two separate crossed blades fixed one to the rocker and a plate and the other to the rocker and a bridge.
  • the first and second monolithic pieces are flat and superimposed.
  • the first and third rigid portions form a central or inner portion of the watch component and the second and fourth rigid portions form a peripheral portion of the watch component.
  • Said peripheral portion may completely or nearly completely surround the central or inner portion.
  • the first and third rigid parts may form a fixing portion of the watch component, for mounting the watch component on a support.
  • the first rigid portion extends at least partially outside the plane of the second rigid portion to allow its attachment to a support without contact between the support and the second and fourth parts.
  • the assembly formed by the second and fourth rigid parts is arranged to abut against the assembly formed by the first and third rigid parts during a rotation of the second and fourth rigid parts relative to the first and third rigid parts. , in order to limit the deformation of said at least one first elastic blade and said at least one second elastic blade and prevent their elastic limit can be exceeded.
  • the at least one first elastic blade and the at least one second elastic blade are located entirely in different planes substantially perpendicular to the virtual axis of rotation.
  • At least a portion of said at least one first elastic blade is in the same plane, substantially perpendicular to the virtual axis of rotation, at least a portion of said at least one second elastic blade.
  • the watch component according to the invention may comprise a third monolithic piece defining fifth and sixth rigid parts respectively integral with the first and second rigid parts and connected by at least one third elastic blade, said at least one third elastic blade defining with said at least one first elastic blade and said at least one second blade elastic the virtual axis of rotation.
  • the watch component according to the invention may further comprise a fourth monolithic piece defining seventh and eighth rigid parts secured respectively to the first and second rigid parts and connected by at least a fourth elastic blade, said at least one third elastic blade and said least a fourth elastic blade intersecting without contact and defining with said at least one first elastic blade and said at least one second elastic blade the virtual axis of rotation.
  • the watch component is, or includes, a rocker, such as a clutch rocker carrying a clutch wheel, or a lever.
  • a flexible pivoting watch component 1 comprises a central fixing portion 2 and a mobile peripheral portion 3, both rigid.
  • the mobile peripheral portion 3 surrounds the central fixing portion 2.
  • the central fixing portion 2 serves to mount the watch component 1 on a support 4 (shown schematically), which support may be fixed (for example the plate of a movement) or mobile.
  • the mobile peripheral portion 3 is pivotable relative to the central fixing portion 2 and the support 4 about a virtual axis of rotation 5 defined by an elastic member.
  • the watch component 1 is a rocker, more specifically a clutch rocker carrying a clutch wheel (not shown).
  • the clutch wheel pivots about an axis 6 which is parallel to the virtual axis of rotation 5 but distinct from the latter.
  • This clutch rocker is intended to be used, for example, in a chronograph mechanism.
  • the elastic member defining the virtual axis of rotation 5 comprises two elastic strips 7, 8 called “separate crossed". These two blades 7, 8 intersect in two different planes parallel to the plane of the component 1 (that is to say on the plane of the figure 1 ). Contrary to so-called “non-separated cross-slide” systems, the two blades 7, 8 do not physically cross each other. This arrangement of the blades 7, 8 decreases by a factor of 4 the stiffness of the elastic member relative to non-separated cross-slide systems.
  • the virtual axis of rotation substantially corresponds to the straight line which is perpendicular to the plane of the component 1 and which passes through the two blades 7, 8. This virtual axis of rotation is not completely fixed during the movements of the mobile peripheral part. 3.
  • the mobile peripheral portion 3 can pivot around the virtual axis of rotation 5 without friction and without play.
  • the height of the blades 7, 8 is large enough so that the stiffness of the elastic member is very high perpendicular to the plane of the component 1.
  • component 1 does not tilt under the effect of the weight of the clutch wheel.
  • This is an advantage over conventional clutch rockers mounted around a physical axis. Because of the games in the bearings of the physical axis, these conventional clutch rockers tend to incline relative to the horizontal, which can prevent the clutch wheel from properly performing its meshing function.
  • the watch component 1 comprises two monolithic parts 9, 10 assembled to one another.
  • the parts 9, 10 are flat and superimposed in the direction of the virtual axis of rotation 5.
  • the lower part 9 (cf. Figures 4 to 6 ) comprises a central portion 11 and a peripheral portion 12 connected to each other by the elastic blade 7.
  • the central portion 11 is lower than the peripheral portion 12, or comprises a portion which extends below the plane of the peripheral portion 12, to be able to rest on the support 4 leaving the peripheral portion 12 without contact with the support 4.
  • the support 4 may comprise an elevated portion on which the central portion 11 can bear of the lower part 9 to avoid contact between the peripheral portion 12 and said support 4.
  • the upper part 10 (cf.
  • Figures 7 to 9 comprises a central portion 13 and a peripheral portion 14 connected to each other by the elastic blade 8.
  • the central portion 13 has a greater thickness than the peripheral portion 14, or comprises a portion which extends beyond below the plane of the peripheral portion 14, to engage in the central opening of the peripheral portion 12 and against the central portion 11 of the lower part 9.
  • the central portion 11 and the peripheral portion 12 of the lower part 9 have the same shape as the central portion 13 and the peripheral portion 14 of the upper piece 10, respectively.
  • the lower and upper parts 9, 10 can thus be pressed against each other to form the component 1.
  • the lower part 9, however, has an extension 15 which forms a bearing receiving a stone 16 in which pivots a first pivot of the clutch wheel shaft. Alternatively, this extension 15 which receives the stone 16 could be part of the upper part 10.
  • the peripheral portions 12, 14 each define two lugs 17, 18 each pierced with a hole.
  • the hole of each ear 17 of the lower piece 9 is aligned with the corresponding earhole 18 of the upper piece 10 but has a smaller diameter.
  • Tubes 19 are driven into the holes of the lugs 17 of the lower part 9 and are received in the holes of the lugs 18 of the upper part 10 so as to position and secure in rotation the two parts 9, 10 relative to each other. the other.
  • the tubes 19 are threaded to allow the screwing of a bridge on the component 1, bridge which comprises the bearing for the second pivot of the shaft of the clutch wheel.
  • the central portion 11 of the lower part 9 is pierced with holes 20 which are aligned with corresponding holes 21 of the central portion 13 of the upper part 10.
  • holes 20, 21 allow the pins fixed to the support 4 to pass through the parts lower and upper 9, 10 for positioning the component 1 on the support 4.
  • Another hole 22 of the lower part 9 aligned with a hole 23 of the upper part 10 allows a screw to pass through the lower and upper parts 9, 10. This screw is screwed into the support 4 and plates the component 1 against said support 4.
  • the lower and upper parts 9, 10 are fixed to each other axially by being fastened together to the support 4.
  • the parts 9, 10 could be directly attached to each other , for example by gluing or welding, before being mounted on the support 4.
  • the lower and upper parts 9, 10 have their respective central parts 11, 13 which are integral to form together the central fixing portion 2 of the component 1 and their peripheral parts 12, 14 which are integral to form together the peripheral part mobile 3 of component 1.
  • the empty space 24 between the central fixing portion 2 and the surrounding mobile peripheral part 3 has a width l which allows rotation of the mobile peripheral portion 3 with respect to the central fixing portion 2 within a certain range. . From a certain amplitude of rotation, in one direction or in the other, the mobile peripheral portion 3 abuts against the central fixing portion 2 to limit the deformation of the elastic strips 7, 8.
