Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for driving a mobile of a calendar mechanism. It also relates to a mechanism comprising such a device. It also relates to a watch movement comprising such a device or such a mechanism. Finally, it relates to a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch, comprising such a device, such a mechanism or such a movement.
- the known annual calendars of the prior art are traditionally equipped with one or two mobile calendar drives which are provided to cooperate with a cam or an auxiliary wheel months.
- This element carries the month indication and controls the double date jump mechanism at the end of each short month through any additional springs and levers.
- Such a construction can induce a particularly delicate operating sequence. If the establishment of a mobile calendar coach accompanied by an energy accumulator can possibly allow the design of an instant jump calendar for the passage of the months from 31 days to the following month, the double jump of date to the end of the 30-day month can be problematic, on the one hand, because of the sequencing of operation of two separate kinematic chains drive the date disk and, on the other hand, because of the extra energy that such jump requires.
- the patent application EP0987609 describes an annual calendar mechanism with two kinematic drive chains of the date disk.
- a first mobile calendar trainer allows, every day, a first jump of the date disc.
- a second mobile calendar coach called mobile correction, allows a jump additional disk dates at the end of a month of thirty days. It is pivoted on a rocker whose angular position is driven by a cam of months and return springs.
- Such a construction requires a large number of parts, including springs and levers, and consumes a lot of energy.
- the document US3827234 discloses a semi-trailing annual calendar, the mechanism of which uses two separate kinematic chains for driving the date disc, without requiring annual cam or lever.
- a first conventional calendar mobile trainer allows, every day, a first jump of the date disc.
- a second mobile allows an additional jump of the date disc at the end of a month of thirty days.
- This mobile has teeth whose number and arrangement are defined so that these teeth allow the actuation of an additional tooth of the date disc at the end of a short month, and thus allow, in cooperation with the mobile conventional coach, a double jump of the date disc.
- Such a mechanism has the advantage of being simple with respect to cam and lever devices, in particular with respect to the mechanism disclosed in the document. EP0987609 .
- the arrangement and the number of teeth of the second mobile make it possible, without any other additional device, to recognize the short months of the long months.
- the driving kinematic chain of the second mobile requires an indexing device which is added to the traditional jumper disc date, which results in the establishment of an additional spring provided to cooperate with a star who carries the teeth of the second mobile. It is therefore very difficult to achieve the implementation of an annual calendar with instant date jump based on of such a mechanism, on the one hand, because of the coordination required for synchronized operation of the two drive chains of the date disk and, on the other hand, because of the energy required to enable training instantaneous two separate mobile coaches, each mobile requiring indeed an energy accumulator dedicated to him.
- the patent application EP1666991 discloses a rolling annual calendar mechanism, which is provided with a single mobile calendar trainer. This one has two training fingers. The first finger allows, every day, a first jump of the date disc. The second finger is intended to drive the record of the dates of an additional step, especially through a mobile months placed in the center of the movement. This mobile consists of two wheels attached to one another. At the end of a thirty-day month, from thirty to thirty-one, the motive of the months is driven by a first angular step by means of an additional tooth carried by the date disc which is itself even powered by the first finger of the mobile calendar trainer.
- the mobile of the months is actuated by a second angular step by the second finger of the calendar mobile, and consequently causes the date disc to take an additional step through the additional tooth of the date disc.
- Such sequencing is made possible by the fact that the calendar is purely trailing. The synchronized training of each of the elements, in particular the record of dates and the mobile months, would lead to the blocking of the device. Thus, it is not possible to achieve the implementation of an annual date-jump calendar based on such a mechanism.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for driving a calendar mobile or calendar member to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above and to improve the drive devices known in the prior art.

- the operation is the same on the other days of the month, with the exception of the change from the 30th of a month to the first of the following month.
- the figure 7 illustrates the mechanism of annual calendar on January 30, just before the date jump from January 30 to 31.
- the wheel 5 leads the cam 6 and accumulates the energy necessary for the instantaneous jump of the fingers 20a and 20b by arming the spring 8 via the profile of the cam 6 and the latch 7.
- the roller 7a reaches the top of the profile of the cam 6.
- the figure 7 illustrates the mechanism in such a configuration. Note that the teeth 20a, 20b are out of range of the teeth 10a, 10b.
- the Figures 8 to 12 illustrate the device during the date jump from the 30th to the 31st of January.
- the tooth 20b of the driving mobile 2 actuates one of the teeth of the toothing 10b of the wheel 1b as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 8 to 10 , which induces a relative displacement between the wheel 1b and the wheel 1a by the deformation of the spring 1c under the effect of the displacement of the pin 1e.
- This is made possible by the fact that the return torque produced by the spring 1c is substantially less than the return torque produced by the jumper 9 of the date disc.
- the rotation of the wheel 1b is here without effect on the date disc because the tooth 106b which is located opposite the tooth 30b of the date disc is shaped not to actuate the tooth 30b.
- the thickness of the tooth 106b is defined so that this tooth can pass over the tooth 30b as shown in FIG. figure 9 .
- the wheel 1b continues to rotate as the finger 20b leads the teeth 10b.
- the figure 10 represents the finger 20b at the end of the led.
- the spring 1c is ready to restore the accumulated energy so as to reindex the wheel 1b relative to the wheel 1a, either to recall the first and second wheels in their relative position of rest, at the instant, or substantially at the moment, when the finger 20a actuates one of the teeth of the toothing 10a of the wheel 1 has as shown on the figure 11 .
- the figure 11 represents the tooth 20a of the driving mobile 2 at the moment when it actuates one of the teeth of the toothing 10a of the wheel 1a, which induces the rotation of the wheel 1a and the wheel 1b, both wheels being secured in rotation under the effect of means 1c, 1d, 1e.
- the rotation of the wheel 1a causes the jump of the disc 3 on an angular step of the date disc, since the toothing 10a is continuously engaged with the toothing 30a of the date disc as illustrated by the figure 9 .
- the Figures 11 to 13 represent such a jump of the date disk. Once the jump is made as shown on the figure 13 , the finger 20a, held in position under the effect of the locking of the cam 6, is in the toothing 10a so as to avoid any risk of additional jump of the date disc.
- the conventional date jump is achieved by the rotation of an angular pitch of the wheel 1a, which also involves the rotation of an angular pitch of the wheel 1b.
- the mobile 1 rotates at least one angular step.
- a date break is described below at the end of a 30-day month, for example at the end of September.
- the figure 14 illustrates the annual calendar mechanism on September 30, just before the date jump from September 30 to October 1.
- the mobile 1 is positioned such that a tooth 102c of the wheel 1b is able to actuate the tooth 30b of the date disc.
- a single conformation 102b, 102c allows the interaction with the fourth toothing and with the tooth 30b of the fifth toothing as shown on the figure 15 .
- the actuation of the tooth 30b induces the displacement of the disk 3 of the dates on a first angular step of the date disk as shown in FIGS. Figures 16 to 18 .
- the displacement of the date disk further causes the rotation of the wheel 1a through the first 10a and fourth 30a teeth that are continuously engaged.
- the wheels 1a and 1b pivot synchronously during a first jump of the date disk to go from 30 to 31 of a short month, so that the mobile 1 rotates a first angular step .
- the Figures 16 to 18 represent the finger 20b of the driving wheel 2 during actuation of the toothing 10b of the wheel 1b to allow the first jump of the date disk, from 30 to "31".
- the Figures 19 to 21 represent the finger 20a of the driving wheel 2 during actuation of the toothing 10a of the wheel 1a to allow the second jump of the disk dates, the "31" to the 1 st of the following month.
- the figure 22 illustrates the mechanism once the double date jump is done.
- the finger 20a held in position under the effect of the locking of the cam 6, is in the toothing 10a so as to avoid any risk of additional jump of the date disc.
- the angular displacement of the date disc is a function of the angular displacement of the mobile 1, namely the angular displacement of the wheels 1a and 1b relative to the frame of the movement. If a conventional date jump is achieved by the rotation of an angular pitch of the wheel 1a, which also involves the rotation of an angular pitch of the wheel 1b, a double date jump at the end of a short month involves the rotation of the mobile 1, namely the rotation of the wheels 1a and 1b on two angular steps of the mobile 1.
- the Applicant's studies have shown that it is possible to arrange teeth within the teeth 10c which are shaped to drive the tooth 30b of the disc 3 only on the 30th of a short month. It turns out that these teeth are four in number for wheels 1a and 1b of twelve teeth, and are each dedicated to a particular month without considering the month of February, as represented on the figures 15 and 23 .
- These teeth 102c, 103c, 104c, 105c are arranged side by side, and constitute a toothed sector of the toothing 10c.
- the conformations 102b, 102c and 103b, 103c and 104b, 104c and 105b, 105c are thicker than the conformations 101b and 106b to 112b constituting the teeth of the second toothing.
- the conformations 102b, 102c and 103b, 103c and 104b, 104c and 105b, 105c can interact with the tooth 30b.
- the teeth of the third toothing could have a different geometry than the teeth of the second toothing.
- the third toothing could have a head diameter different from that of the second toothing.
- the fifth gear could also have a head diameter different from that of the fourth toothing.
- the table of the figure 24 illustrates the cycle of rotations of the wheel 1b throughout a year, and highlights the teeth of the second and third teeth that are presented next to the tooth 30b of the date disc every 30 months.
- Columns J, F, M, A, M, J, J, A, S, O, N, D represent the twelve months (M) of the year in chronological order, respectively.
- the lines indicate, as for it, the calendar (Q) of the month (M) of the year.
- the month of February can be considered as a short month which consists of 30 days, even if a setting will have to be made.
- the wheels 1a and 1b are provided with external teeth 10a, 10b, 10c which are provided to cooperate with internal teeth 30a, 30b of the date display mobile 3.
- the teeth 30a, 30b of the date display disk 3 may be in the form of external teeth.
- the mobile 3 may for example be in the form of a disc or a wheel on which is reported a display of the date indication needle.
- the programming mobile 1 and / or the mobile 3 may be provided to operate a display mechanism of a "big date".
- the profiles of the teeth 10a, 10b and 10c are identical.
- the profiles can of course differ so that they are optimized with respect to the elements 20a, 30a and 20b, 30b, respectively, with which they cooperate.
- the angular indexing element 9 is provided to cooperate with the toothing 30a of the disk 3 of the dates.
- this indexing element may be provided to cooperate with the wheel 1a.
- Such a conformation may be advantageous for a wheel 1a provided with an internal toothing 10a.
- a display of the month may for example be implemented by a device comprising a month display disk kinematically linked to the date display disc.
- the display device of the months may be as described in the patent applications EP2428856 and EP2624075 .

Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif d'entraînement d'un mobile d'un mécanisme de calendrier. Elle concerne aussi un mécanisme comprenant un tel dispositif. Elle concerne encore un mouvement horloger comprenant un tel dispositif ou un tel mécanisme. Elle concerne enfin une pièce d'horlogerie, notamment une montre-bracelet, comprenant un tel dispositif, un tel mécanisme ou un tel mouvement.The invention relates to a device for driving a mobile of a calendar mechanism. It also relates to a mechanism comprising such a device. It also relates to a watch movement comprising such a device or such a mechanism. Finally, it relates to a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch, comprising such a device, such a mechanism or such a movement.
Les calendriers annuels connus de l'art antérieur sont traditionnellement équipés d'un ou deux mobiles entraîneurs de calendrier qui sont prévus pour coopérer avec une came ou une roue auxiliaire des mois. Cet élément porte l'indication des mois et pilote le mécanisme de double saut de date à la fin de chaque mois court par le biais d'éventuels ressorts et leviers additionnels. Une telle construction peut induire un séquencement de fonctionnement particulièrement délicat. Si la mise en place d'un mobile entraîneur de calendrier accompagné d'un accumulateur d'énergie peut éventuellement permettre la conception d'un calendrier à saut instantané pour le passage des mois de 31 jours au mois suivant, le double saut de date à la fin des mois de 30 jours peut être problématique, d'une part, du fait du séquencement de fonctionnement de deux chaînes cinématiques distinctes d'entraînement du disque des quantièmes et, d'autre part, du fait du surcroît énergétique qu'un tel saut requiert.The known annual calendars of the prior art are traditionally equipped with one or two mobile calendar drives which are provided to cooperate with a cam or an auxiliary wheel months. This element carries the month indication and controls the double date jump mechanism at the end of each short month through any additional springs and levers. Such a construction can induce a particularly delicate operating sequence. If the establishment of a mobile calendar coach accompanied by an energy accumulator can possibly allow the design of an instant jump calendar for the passage of the months from 31 days to the following month, the double jump of date to the end of the 30-day month can be problematic, on the one hand, because of the sequencing of operation of two separate kinematic chains drive the date disk and, on the other hand, because of the extra energy that such jump requires.

Un mode de réalisation d'une pièce d'horlogerie 130 est décrit ci-après en référence aux
Le mécanisme de calendrier 110 comprend un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif 100 d'entraînement selon l'invention.The
Le mode de réalisation du dispositif 100 d'entraînement est décrit plus en détail ci-après en référence aux
Le dispositif d'entraînement comprend principalement :
- un mobile d'entraînement 2 incluant un
premier doigt 20a et undeuxième doigt 20b ; - un mobile de
programmation 1 ou un mécanisme deprogrammation 1 incluant unepremière denture 10a, unedeuxième denture 10b et unetroisième denture 10c ; et - le
mobile 3 d'indication des quantièmes incluant unequatrième denture 30a et unecinquième denture 30b.
- a
driving wheel 2 including afirst finger 20a and asecond finger 20b; - a
programming wheel 1 or aprogramming mechanism 1 including a first toothing 10a, a second toothing 10b and a third toothing 10c; and - the
date indication wheel 3 including a fourth toothing 30a and a fifth toothing 30b.
Ainsi, le premier doigt est apte à actionner la première denture, notamment par engrènement, le deuxième doigt est apte à actionner la deuxième denture, notamment par engrènement, la première denture est apte à actionner la quatrième denture, notamment par engrènement, et la troisième denture est apte à actionner la cinquième denture, notamment par engrènement.Thus, the first finger is able to actuate the first toothing, in particular by meshing, the second finger is able to actuate the second toothing, in particular by meshing, the first toothing is able to actuate the fourth toothing, in particular by meshing, and the third toothing is able to actuate the fifth toothing, in particular by meshing.
Ainsi, il est possible d'obtenir un dispositif d'entraînement particulièrement simple destiné à entraîner le mobile d'indication des quantièmes ou mobile des quantièmes. La simplicité de l'architecture apporte fiabilité et robustesse au dispositif. Cette fiabilité et cette robustesse peuvent être mises à profit pour réaliser un mécanisme de calendrier du type à saut instantané.Thus, it is possible to obtain a particularly simple drive device intended to drive the mobile indication of the dates or mobile dates. The simplicity of the architecture brings reliability and robustness to the device. This reliability and robustness can be used to achieve an instant jump type calendar mechanism.
Avantageusement, les deuxième et troisième dentures sont distinctes, c'est-à-dire que les dents de la deuxième denture ne coopèrent ni avec la quatrième denture ni avec la cinquième denture et les dents de la troisième denture coopèrent avec la cinquième denture sans coopérer avec la quatrième denture.Advantageously, the second and third teeth are distinct, that is to say that the teeth of the second toothing do not cooperate with the fourth toothing or with the fifth toothing and the teeth of the third toothing cooperate with the fifth set of teeth without cooperating with the fourth toothing.
Avantageusement, le premier doigt 20a et le deuxième doigt 20b du mobile d'entraînement 2 ne sont pas déplaçables l'un relativement à l'autre. Avantageusement, la quatrième denture 30a et la cinquième denture 30b du mobile d'indication des quantièmes ne sont pas déplaçables l'une relativement à l'autre.Advantageously, the
Le mobile 1 de programmation présente la particularité d'être disposé à l'interface du mobile 2 d'entraînement de calendrier et du disque 3 d'affichage des quantièmes ou d'indication des quantièmes. Le mobile de programmation permet de reconnaître et de distinguer les mois courts des mois longs.The
Avantageusement, le premier doigt 20a, la première denture 10a et la quatrième denture 30a sont disposés sur un premier niveau, notamment sont disposés au niveau d'un premier plan P1 comme représenté partiellement sur la
Comme représenté en particulier sur les
Avantageusement, comme représenté par la
De plus, le mobile de programmation peut comprendre une première butée 1d, notamment constituée par une portion de paroi 1d d'une ouverture 1 i formée par exemple sur la roue 1a, et une deuxième butée 1e, notamment une goupille 1e. Ces première et deuxième butées coopèrent pour définir, lorsqu'elles sont en contact l'une avec l'autre, la première position prédéfinie de la roue 1a relativement à la roue 1 b. Les première et deuxième butées peuvent se trouver respectivement sur les première et deuxième roues 1a, 1 b ou se trouver respectivement sur les deuxième et première roues 1a, 1 b.In addition, the mobile programming may comprise a
Le ressort 1c et la butée 1d peuvent être venus de matière avec la planche de la première roue 1a. La goupille 1e peut être chassée sur la planche de la deuxième roue 1b. La deuxième roue 1b peut ainsi être indexée angulairement relativement à la première roue 1a par le biais de la goupille 1e qui est plaquée à l'encontre de la butée 1 d sous l'effet du ressort 1 c.The
Le mobile de programmation 1 peut comprendre une troisième butée 1 g, notamment une paroi 1 g d'une ouverture, ou de l'ouverture 1 i précitée, et une quatrième butée 1h, notamment une surface 1h de l'élément de rappel 1 c, en particulier une surface 1 h d'une extrémité de l'élément de rappel 1 c. Les troisième et quatrième butées peuvent se trouver respectivement sur les première et deuxième roues 1a, 1 b ou se trouver respectivement sur les deuxième et première roues 1a, 1 b.The
Les première et deuxième roues 1a et 1b du mobile d'entraînement sont toutes deux prévues pour être actionnées, tous les jours, par le mobile d'entraînement de calendrier 2. A cet effet, le mobile d'entraînement est doté, comme vu précédemment de deux doigts d'entraînement 20a et 20b. Ces doigts sont avantageusement superposés ou situés sur deux niveaux relativement à l'axe de rotation 12 du mobile d'entraînement. Ces premier et deuxième doigts sont chacun dédiés à l'entraînement des première et deuxième dentures 10a, 10b des roues 1a, 1b. Ainsi, préférentiellement, le premier doigt d'entraînement 20a peut être disposé sur le premier niveau P1, et le deuxième doigt d'entraînement 20b peut être disposé sur le deuxième niveau P2. Le mobile d'entraînement 2 comprend également une roue 5 de calendrier, effectuant une rotation complète en 24 heures. Cette roue 5 est reliée à un rouage 4 du mouvement de base de la pièce d'horlogerie. Le mobile d'entraînement 2 comprend encore une came 6 qui est prévue pour coopérer avec un accumulateur d'énergie, de manière à ce que les doigts d'entraînement 20a et 20b puissent entraîner instantanément le mobile 1 de programmation au moment de minuit, c'est-à-dire que les premier et deuxième doigts arrivent dans une position de début d'engrenage avec les dentures des roues du mobile de programmation, engrènent avec ces dentures, puis quittent une position de fin d'engrenage avec ces dentures, en une durée typiquement inférieure à un dixième de seconde.The first and
La came 6 peut être fixée sur les premier et deuxième doigts d'entraînement 20a, 20b. Un embrayage entre la roue de calendrier 5 et la came 6 (non représenté) peut être mis en oeuvre par le biais de moyens conventionnels, comme par exemple une découpe oblongue conformée pour coopérer avec une goupille, ou par un dispositif d'encliquetage tel que celui divulgué dans la demande de brevet
L'accumulateur d'énergie peut comprendre une bascule 7 munie d'un galet 7a qui est appliqué contre le flanc de la came 6 par un ressort 8.The energy accumulator may comprise a
Le mobile 1 de programmation est continûment en prise avec le disque 3 d'affichage des quantièmes. Ainsi, un actionnement du mobile d'entraînement, notamment un actionnement du mobile d'entraînement sur un tour, induit la rotation du disque 3 d'affichage des quantièmes, en particulier sur au moins un pas angulaire.The
Plus particulièrement, la première denture 10a de la première roue 1 a est continûment en prise avec la quatrième denture 30a du disque 3 des quantièmes. Cette quatrième denture peut être indexée angulairement relativement au bâti du mouvement par le biais d'un bec 9a d'un sautoir 9, comme représenté sur la
Avantageusement, le sautoir et l'élément de rappel sont conformés et agencés de sorte que le couple résistant s'opposant à la rotation de la première roue et exercé par le sautoir est supérieur au couple résistant s'opposant à la rotation de la deuxième roue et exercé par l'élément de rappel, ces couples étant exprimés autour du même axe, notamment autour de l'axe 11 de rotation du mobile de programmation.Advantageously, the jumper and the return element are shaped and arranged so that the resisting torque opposing the rotation of the first wheel and exerted by the jumper is greater than the resisting torque opposing the rotation of the second wheel. and exerted by the return element, these couples being expressed around the same axis, in particular around the
Outre les 31 dents de la quatrième denture 30a, le mobile des quantièmes est également doté d'une cinquième denture 30b. Cette cinquième denture peut notamment comprendre une seule dent. Cette cinquième denture peut être superposée à la quatrième denture 30a comme représenté sur la
La dent de la cinquième denture 30b est susceptible d'être actionnée par la troisième denture 10c, le 30 d'un mois court (c'est-à-dire d'un mois de 30 jours). Ainsi, le disque des quantièmes 3 peut être entraîné sur deux pas angulaires.The tooth of the
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, la première denture 10a de la première roue 1a comporte douze dents qui sont toutes identiques. La deuxième denture 10b de la deuxième roue 1b comporte également douze dents. La troisième denture comprend quatre dents qui sont agencées pour actionner le disque des quantièmes. Ces quatre dents correspondent aux quatre mois courts de l'année, à l'exception du mois de février. Celles-ci sont réparties au sein de la deuxième denture 10b de telle sorte que l'une ou l'autre de ces dents est susceptible de se retrouver en regard de la dent 30b le 30 d'un mois court. La répartition de ces dents est explicitée plus loin.In the embodiment described, the
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, les dents de la deuxième denture 10b et les dents de la troisième denture 10c sont formées par des surfaces communes formées sur une même pièce, notamment des surfaces communes s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe de rotation du mobile de programmation. Alternativement, les surfaces constituant les dents des deuxième et troisième dentures peuvent être discontinues, c'est-à-dire qu'il peut exister une discontinuité entre les deuxième et troisième dentures. Les surfaces de la deuxième et de la troisième denture peuvent être formées simultanément, par exemple par usinage, découpage ou formage. Alternativement, la deuxième denture peut être formée sur une première pièce et la troisième denture peut être formée sur une deuxième pièce. Les première et deuxième pièces peuvent ensuite être assemblées ou fixées l'une sur l'autre pour former la deuxième roue.In the embodiment described, the teeth of the
Dans un autre mode de réalisation non représenté, la première denture peut présenter un nombre de dents qui est un multiple de douze, par exemple 24 ou 36 dents, et/ou la deuxième denture peut présenter un nombre de dents qui est un multiple de douze, par exemple 24 ou 36 dents, et/ou la troisième denture peut présenter un nombre de dents qui est un multiple de quatre, par exemple 8 ou 12 dents, et/ou la quatrième denture peut présenter trente et une dents et/ou la cinquième denture peut présenter une dent.In another embodiment not shown, the first toothing may have a number of teeth that is a multiple of twelve, for example 24 or 36 teeth, and / or the second toothing may have a number of teeth that is a multiple of twelve , for example 24 or 36 teeth, and / or the third toothing may have a number of teeth which is a multiple of four, for example 8 or 12 teeth, and / or the fourth toothing may have thirty-one teeth and / or the fifth gear may have a tooth.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif d'entraînement est décrit en détail ci-après.The operation of the driving device is described in detail below.
On décrit un saut de date conventionnel à la fin d'un mois de 31 jours, par exemple à la fin du mois de janvier. Le fonctionnement est le même les autres jours du mois, à l'exception du passage du 30 d'un mois court au premier du mois suivant. La
Tout au long de la journée, la roue 5 mène la came 6 et accumule l'énergie nécessaire au saut instantané des doigts 20a et 20b en armant le ressort 8 par l'intermédiaire du profil de la came 6 et de la bascule 7. Juste avant le passage de date, le galet 7a parvient au sommet du profil de la came 6. La

Ainsi, le saut de date conventionnel est réalisé par la rotation d'un pas angulaire de la roue 1a, qui implique également la rotation d'un pas angulaire de la roue 1 b. Ainsi, tous les jours à minuit, le mobile 1 tourne d'au moins un pas angulaire.Thus, the conventional date jump is achieved by the rotation of an angular pitch of the

Le déplacement angulaire du disque des quantièmes est fonction du déplacement angulaire du mobile 1, à savoir du déplacement angulaire des roues 1a et 1b relativement au bâti du mouvement. Si un saut de date conventionnel est réalisé par la rotation d'un pas angulaire de la roue 1a, qui implique également la rotation d'un pas angulaire de la roue 1 b, un double saut de date à la fin d'un mois court implique la rotation du mobile 1, à savoir la rotation des roues 1a et 1 b sur deux pas angulaires du mobile 1.The angular displacement of the date disc is a function of the angular displacement of the mobile 1, namely the angular displacement of the
Sur une année complète, le mobile 1, dont les roues 1 a et 1 b sont dotées de douze dents chacune, effectue donc trente et un tours. Les études de la demanderesse ont montré qu'il était possible d'agencer des dents au sein de la denture 10c qui sont conformées pour actionner la dent 30b du disque 3 uniquement le 30 d'un mois court. Il se trouve que ces dents sont au nombre de quatre pour des roues 1a et 1 b de douze dents, et sont chacune dédiées à un mois particulier sans considérer le mois de février, comme représenté sur les

104b et 104c se présentent en regard dela dent 30b à la fin du mois de novembre, - les dents
105b et 105c se présentent en regard dela dent 30b à la fin du mois de juin, - Les dents 106b à 112b se situent chacune en regard de
la dent 30b à la fin d'un mois de 31 jours. Celles-ci ne peuvent pas interagir avec ladent 30b.

Teeth 106b to 112b are each facingtooth 30b at the end of a 31-day month. These can not interact withtooth 30b.
Les études de la demanderesse ont montré que le principe est valable pour tout mobile 1 dont les roues 1 a, 1 b sont dotées de N dents où N est un multiple de 12. La denture 1c est alors dotée de n dents conformées pour actionner la dent 30b, qui sont réparties en N/12 secteurs sur le mobile 1, où n est un multiple de quatre avec N/n=3.The studies of the applicant have shown that the principle is valid for any mobile 1 whose
Bien entendu, le mois de février peut être considéré comme un mois court qui est constitué de 30 jours, même si un réglage devra être opéré. Dans ce cas, la roue 1 b peut alors être dotée de n' dents avec n' = n+N/12.Of course, the month of February can be considered as a short month which consists of 30 days, even if a setting will have to be made. In this case, the
Dans le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, les roues 1a et 1b sont dotées de dentures extérieures 10a, 10b, 10c qui sont prévues pour coopérer avec des dentures intérieures 30a, 30b du mobile 3 d'affichage des quantièmes. Alternativement, les dentures 30a, 30b du disque 3 d'affichage des quantièmes peuvent se présenter sous la forme de dentures extérieures. Alternativement, les roues 1a et 1b peuvent être dotées de dentures intérieures 10a, 10b, 10c qui peuvent par exemple coopérer avec des dentures extérieures 30a, 30b du mobile 3 d'affichage des quantièmes, en particulier pour N=24 ou N=36. Dans ces constructions alternatives, le mobile 3 peut par exemple présenter la forme d'un disque ou d'une roue sur laquelle est rapportée une aiguille d'affichage de l'indication des quantièmes. Alternativement, le mobile de programmation 1 et/ou le mobile 3 peut être prévu pour actionner un mécanisme d'affichage d'une « grande date ».In the embodiment previously described, the
Dans le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, les profils des dentures 10a, 10b et 10c sont identiques. Alternativement, les profils peuvent bien entendu différer de sorte à être optimisés en regard respectivement des éléments 20a, 30a et 20b, 30b avec lesquels ils coopèrent.In the embodiment previously described, the profiles of the
Dans le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, l'élément d'indexation angulaire 9 est prévu pour coopérer avec la denture 30a du disque 3 des quantièmes. Alternativement, cet élément d'indexation peut être prévu pour coopérer avec la roue 1a. Une telle conformation peut être avantageuse pour une roue 1 a dotée d'une denture intérieure 10a.In the embodiment described above, the
Un affichage du mois peut par exemple être mis en oeuvre par un dispositif comprenant un disque d'affichage des mois lié cinématiquement au disque d'affichage des quantièmes. Ainsi, il est possible de mettre en oeuvre une réalisation particulièrement simple d'un calendrier annuel. Le dispositif d'affichage des mois peut être tel que décrit dans les demandes de brevet
Le dispositif d'entraînement selon l'invention est particulièrement simple, à l'instar du dispositif divulgué au sein de la demande
