Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for displaying the current lunar phase visible at a determined point on the earth's surface.
  • the document EP2392976 describes a device comprising a moon disc and a dial comprising a window of substantially semi-circular shape.
  • the moon disc is rotated so as to display the indications written on the moon disc through the window to indicate the phases of the moon.
  • This mechanism comprises a first occultation disc rotatably housed between the moon disc and the dial, and a drive train driving the first occultation disc so that the indications written on the moon disc are obscured. at least partially during certain phases of the operation of the mechanism so that the indications appearing through the window correspond to the natural appearance of the moon throughout the duration of the lunation.
  • the document CH706094 describes a moon phase display device comprising a dial having an axis, a moon indicator, a cover positioned to more or less mask the moon indicator and first means for driving the rotation of the moon indicator arranged to rotate the moon indicator.
  • the document US309257 discloses a moon phase display device comprising a moon indicator disc and drive means arranged to animate the moon indicator disc so that it performs a trajectory between two successive lobes.
  • the invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing a moon phase display device which is simpler and less bulky in thickness than those of the prior art.
  • the moon indicator disc will therefore perform four cycloidal trajectories when it makes a complete revolution of the display device. During each cycloidal trajectory, the moon indicator disc starts from a position in which it is entirely hidden by a lobe. This position represents the new moon. The moon indicator disc will then gradually uncover, until it reaches half of the cycloidal trajectory. When it reaches half of the cycloidal trajectory, it is no longer camouflaged by any lobe, so that it represents the full moon. The disc will then progress on the cycloidal trajectory, and be more and more hidden by the next lobe until being again completely hidden.
  • the display device according to the first aspect of the invention may also have one or more of the characteristics below taken individually or according to all technically possible combinations.
  • the cycloidal trajectory of the moon indicator disc is therefore obtained thanks to a double rotational movement: the arm performs a first rotational movement around the first axis of rotation, while the moon indicator disc performs a second rotational movement around the second axis of rotation passing through one end of the arm.
  • each lobe has a round shape with a diameter equal to that of the moon indicator disc, so that said lobe completely camouflages the moon indicator disc when the latter is behind it, but at the same time, the disc begins to form. find out immediately when its center is offset from the center of the lobe.
  • the cover and the moon indicator disc are dimensioned so that there is a position between two successive lobes in which the moon indicator disc is simultaneously tangent to the two successive lobes. This position corresponds to the full moon.
  • each ring portion has the shape of an arc of a circle.
  • the display device further comprises transmission means arranged to rotate the arm around the first axis of rotation.
  • the transmission means are configured so that the arm makes a complete revolution around the first axis of rotation in four lunar months.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a display device according to the first aspect of the invention.
  • the annular cover is a dial of the timepiece.
  • the transmission means are connected to the timepiece movement of the timepiece.
  • the timepiece includes hands, the dial being disposed between the hands and the moon indicator disc.
  • a display device 1 and a watch comprising such a display device will now be described with reference to figures 1 and 2 .
  • the display device 1 comprises a cover 2.
  • This cover 2 is annular.
  • the annular cover 2 has a symmetry of revolution with respect to its center 9.
  • the cover 2 has four ring portions 3. Two successive ring portions 3 are separated by a convex lobe 4 projecting radially towards the inside of the cover 2.
  • the lobes 4 are preferably distributed regularly over the periphery of the cover 2, so that the ring portions 3 all have the same length.
  • the cover 2 preferably forms the dial of a watch as shown in the figure 2 .
  • the lobes 4 are preferably arranged at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock.
  • the cover 2 preferably includes indexes 5. Each index 5 is preferably aligned with a lobe 4 as shown in the figure 2 .
  • the display device also includes a disc 6 representing the moon.
  • This disc 6 is also called “moon indicator disc” in this document.
  • This disc 6 makes it possible to represent the phases of the moon for four lunar months by moving behind the cover 2. It is preferably provided with a pattern representing the visible face of the moon.
  • the display device comprises drive means arranged to animate the disc 6 with a cycloidal movement 19 between the centers 20 of two successive lobes 4.
  • These drive means preferably comprise a crown 7 provided with an internal toothing 8.
  • the crown 7 has an annular geometry around a central point 10 superimposed on the center 9 of the annular cover 2.
  • the drive means also comprise a pinion 11 provided with an external toothing 12 meshing with the internal toothing 8 of the crown 7.
  • the drive means also include an arm 12.
  • the arm 12 has a first end 13 arranged to be movable in rotation around a first axis of rotation 14 passing through the center of the annular cover 2.
  • the arm 12 also includes a second end 15 fixed to the pinion 11 so as to be movable in rotation relative to a second axis of rotation 16.
  • the second axis of rotation 16 passes through the center of the pinion 11 and it passes through the second end 15 of the arm.
  • the disc 6 representing the moon is fixed so that its center is also in rotation about the second axis of rotation 16.
  • the disc 6 is preferably fixed on the pinion 11. More precisely, the center 17 of the disc 6 is preferably fixed to an eccentric point of the pinion 11. The center of the disc 6 and the center of the pinion 11 are therefore offset with respect to each other.
  • the arm 12 When the arm 12 is rotated around the first axis of rotation 14, it rotates the pinion 11 which rotates around the second axis of rotation 16, meshing in the internal toothing 8 of the crown 7.
  • the disc 6 is then also rotated around the second axis of rotation 16.
  • the center of the disc 6 performs a cycloidal trajectory 19.
  • Each cycloidal trajectory 19 extends from the center 20 of a lobe 4 to the center 20 of the next lobe 4.
  • the disc 6 therefore performs four cycloidal trajectories 19 as shown in the figure 1 .
  • each cycloidal trajectory 19 the disc 6 is entirely hidden behind a first lobe 4. This position represents the new moon. The more the disc 6 advances on each cycloidal trajectory, the more it will uncover, until it reaches the middle of the cycloidal trajectory 19. In the middle of each cycloidal trajectory, as shown in the figure 2 , disc 6 is fully exposed. In this position, the disc 6 is preferably tangent to the two lobes 4 which surround it. This position represents the full moon.
  • the disc 6 will then again gradually be hidden by the next lobe 4, until it again reaches a position in which it is entirely hidden by this new lobe.
  • the speed of rotation of the arm 12 around the first axis of rotation 14 is chosen so that the disc 6 travels entirely through each cycloidal trajectory 19 in a lunar month.
  • the arm 12 is preferably driven in rotation by the timepiece movement of the timepiece.
  • the first axis of rotation 14 is preferably coincident with the axis of rotation of the hands 18 of the timepiece.
