Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a walking time equation mechanism for a timepiece. More specifically, the invention relates to a walking time equation mechanism driving a minute hand of the true time concentric to an hour hand.
  • some timepieces include, in addition to the hand which indicates the minute of the civil time, a so-called time equation mechanism which includes a needle which moves next to a graduated scale to indicate the difference between the minute of the civil time and the minute of the solar time for a given day.
  • This minute hand of the true time is actuated by a weather equation cam whose profile is determined by the difference between the mean solar time and the true solar time for all the days of the year.
  • the turnout of a timepiece equipped with a walking time equation mechanism comprises two concentric minute hands, one indicating the minute of the civil time, and the other indicating the minute of the true time.
  • the difference between the minute hand of the civil time and the minute hand of the true time is determined by the difference between the mean solar time and the true solar time for the day of the year considered.
  • the minute hand of the true time of a walking equation mechanism is actuated by a time equation cam.
  • the equation of time cam is rotated at the rate of one revolution per year from a date mechanism that can be simple or perpetual.
  • the simple calendar is a mechanism arranged to indicate the day of the week, the day of the month, the month of the year or the phases of the Moon, but which does not take into account the variation of the number of days in the month. (months of 28, 29 or 30 days).
  • the user of a watch having a simple date mechanism will have to perform a manual correction every month ends that are less than 31 days. For example, February 28 or April 30 will require manual intervention.
  • the perpetual calendar mechanism it allows, as a simple date mechanism, to indicate the day, the date, the month and the phases of the Moon. But unlike a simple date mechanism, a perpetual calendar mechanism automatically takes into account the length of the months (28, 29 and 30 days), without manual intervention. A perpetual calendar mechanism therefore automatically takes into account leap years.
  • Equation cam of time 1 whose profile is determined by the difference, for each day of the year, between the mean solar time or civil time and the true solar time.
  • This equation of time 1 cam is rotated at a rate of one revolution per year from a simple or perpetual calendar mechanism that includes the timepiece.
  • Equation cam of time 1 carries a disc of months 2 which rotates at the same speed as it and which makes it possible to make coincide the position of this equation cam of time 1 with the date indicated by the date mechanism so that the minute hand of solar time 4 indicates the exact offset between the minute of the civil time and the minute of the solar time.
  • the date mechanism simple or perpetual, can be of any known type and will not be described here in its entirety. For a good understanding, it suffices to know that this date mechanism drives the equation cam of time 1 at the rate of one complete revolution per year. However, it is shown for illustrative purposes only a date mobile 6 driving a needle 8 which indicates the date (1 to 31). This mobile date of 6 rotates at a rate of one complete turn per month. It is actuated by the date mechanism and drives the time equation cam 1 via an intermediate date wheel 10 which makes it possible to reverse the direction of rotation, and a reduction wheel 12 which makes it possible to reduce the speed of rotation. rotation of one full turn per month to one full turn per year.
  • the minute hand of the solar time 4 is driven by a differential gear device 14 which has respective inputs a gear train driving a minute hand of the civil time 18, and a rake 20 which cooperates with the time equation cam 1 (on the figure 1 , the rake 20 is represented in its two extreme positions, once in solid line, and the other time in dotted lines). More precisely, as is visible on the figure 1 , the differential gear device 14 comprises at least one and, preferably, two planet gears 22 driven by the timer of the watch movement of the watch. These two planet gears 22 are able to turn on themselves and to roll on the internal toothing 24 of an equation wheel of time 26.
  • the latter also has on its outer periphery a first toothed sector 28 by which it co-operates with a second toothed sector 30 which is provided with the rake 20 at one of its ends.
  • This rake 20 is subjected to the return action of a spring (not shown) attached to the frame of the watch and which tends to apply a feeler 32 forming the other end of the rake 20 against the profile of the equation cam
  • the solar weather display gear includes a sun time display pinion 34 placed in the center of the differential gear device 14.
  • This sun time display pinion 34 meshes with the planet gears 22, and on the other hand a display wheel of the solar time 38 which meshes with a roadway 40 on the barrel from which is driven the minute hand of the solar time 4.
  • This wheel 38, 40 allows to to return the display of the solar minute to the center 42 of the clockwork movement of the watch, so that the minute hand of the solar time 4 is concentric with the minute hand of the civil time 18.
  • the time equation cam 1, the rake 20 and therefore the equation wheel of time 26 are immobile.
  • the planet gears 22 are driven by the watch movement of the watch. They therefore turn on themselves and roll on the internal toothing 24 of the equation wheel of time 26, driving the display pinion of the solar time 34 in rotation, which allows the minute hand of the solar time 4 to turn concomitantly with the minute hand of civil time minutes 18.
  • the difference between the minute hand of the solar time 4 and the minute hand of the civil time 18 therefore remains constant over a period of 24 hours.
  • the equation cam of time 1 rotates, driven by the date mechanism that moves the calendar from one day to the next.
  • the feeler 32 which is in contact with the profile of the equation cam of the time 1 rotates the rake 20 in turn.
  • This rake 20, by pivoting drives the equation wheel of the time 26. rotation.
  • the planet gears 22 being, during this brief time interval, substantially immobile (they turn one on their own in one hour), rotate on themselves while being rotated by the equation wheel of time 26, and in turn drive the sun time display gear 34 so as to again exactly adjust the position of the minute hand of the solar time.
  • the walking time equation mechanism described above thus allows, by means of a minute hand of the civil time and a minute hand of the solar time, to display at any time the time difference between the mean solar time and the true time.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the problems described above as well as others by providing a walking time equation mechanism controlled by a differential gear device which is particularly easier to read.
  • the present invention relates to a walking time equation mechanism comprising a switch whose function is to indicate the solar time or true time by means of a hand of the hours of the civil time and a needle minutes of the true time concentric with the hand of the hours of the civil time, the switch being deprived of a hand of the minutes of the civil time, the hand of the hours of the civil time being driven in rotation by a clockwork movement and resulting in turn the minute hand of true time, the equation mechanism of the walking time also including a time equation cam having a profile that is determined by the difference, for each day of the year, between the mean solar time or civil time, and solar time or true time, this time equation cam being rotated at the rate of one revolution per year by the watch movement, the position of the minute hand, u true time being determined by the position of the equation cam of time.
  • the present invention provides a walking time equation mechanism whose switch is only formed from a minute hand of the true time concentric to a hand of the hours of the civil time. In the absence of a minute hand of the civil time, the reading of the solar time is therefore immediate. In particular, the problem of reading solar time on days when the difference between the minute of the civil time and the minute of the solar time is small does not arise. Moreover, apart from the switching of solar time, it is possible to provide a referral of the civil time conventionally formed by an hour hand of the civilian time and a hand of concentric civil time minutes.
  • the reading of the civil time is immediate and the user does not have to perform mental operation to distinguish the minute hand of the civil time from the minute hand of the solar time, then reconstitute the civil time by appreciating the difference between the hour hand of the civil time and the minute hand of the civil time.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of providing a running time equation mechanism including a switch whose function is to indicate the solar time or true time by means of a hand of the hours of the civil time and a hand of the minutes of the true time concentric with the hand of the hours of the civil time, the switch being deprived of a hand of the minutes of the civil time.

  • the device for displaying the solar time or true time according to the invention can be advantageously completed by a civil time switch comprising an hour hand and a concentric minute hand and which are driven by the same roadway as the display device of the true time.
  • a civil time switch comprising an hour hand and a concentric minute hand and which are driven by the same roadway as the display device of the true time.
  • the object of the present invention is to integrate in a timepiece such as a wristwatch a walking time equation mechanism of a new kind whose switch comprises a minute hand of the true time concentric with a hour hand of the civil time.
  • the walking time equation mechanism according to the invention generally designated by the general numerical reference 44, comprises a switch whose function is to indicate the solar time or true time by means of a hand of the hours of the civil time 46 and a hand of the minutes of the true time 50, concentric with the hand of the hours of the civil time 46, and which indicates the minute of the true time.
  • the minute hand of the true time 50 may, for example, end with a representation of the astrological symbol of the sun 52.

It is sufficient, in fact, for a good understanding of the invention, to know that this date mechanism causes the equation wheel of the time 56 on which is fixed the time equation cam 54 at a rate of one complete revolution per year. In the case where the date mechanism is also used to display the date, this date mechanism may include a date wheel 58 which rotates at a rate of one complete revolution per month by driving a date indicator 104.

  • the mobile 66 of the finishing train drives the civil time hour hand 46, while the time equation lever 68 cooperates with the time equation cam 54.
  • a clock of the hours of the civil time 70 is driven by the mobile 66 of the finishing gear of the timepiece of the timepiece via a roadway 72 fixed for example by driving on a road sprocket 74.

  • the satellite gear reducer 76 is pivotally mounted around a first pin 82 fixed for example by driving in a differential frame 84 which is secured to the gun hours of civil time 70 on which is driven the hour hand of civil time 46 Driven by the road sprocket 74 via the first satellite wheel 78, the first planet gear 80 rolls on a first internal toothing 86 of a first differential ring 88 which is carried by the clockwork movement and which is fixed .
