Definitions

  • the invention relates to a timepiece for a semi-instantaneous jump mechanism, said mobile comprising a drive wheel which comprises, around a pivot axis, a guide hub of a stopper, which stopper is movable with respect to said drive wheel and comprises at least one disengageable stop finger movable between an armed position in which the radial extension of said stop finger is maximum with respect to said axis, and a disarmed position in which the radial extension of said finger of stop is minimal with respect to said axis, said stop finger being subjected to the action of an elastic return means which tends to move it away from said axis.
  • the invention also relates to a semi-instantaneous jump clock display mechanism comprising such a mobile.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising at least one such semi-instantaneous jump clock display mechanism.
  • the invention relates to the field of clockwork display mechanisms, and in particular jumping displays, such as date mechanisms or the like.
  • a semi-instantaneous jump clockwork mechanism often comprises a spring comprising a finger, this spring comprising one or more turns, being kept cocked for a fairly long period, and being relaxed during the jump, for example during the change of day for the display of a date. The deformation of such a spring is difficult to control.
  • the invention proposes to improve control of the deformation of the spring of a disengageable drive system for semi-instantaneous jump.
  • the object of the inventive concept is to allow more precise angular winding than in existing mechanisms, and to make any plastic deformation of the spring element almost impossible, so as to ensure its service life.
  • the invention relates to a timepiece mobile for a semi-instantaneous jump mechanism, according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a semi-instantaneous jump clock display mechanism comprising such a mobile.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising at least one such semi-instantaneous jump clock display mechanism.
  • the invention relates to a timepiece 10 for a semi-instantaneous jump mechanism 100.
  • This mobile 10 comprises a drive wheel 1 which comprises, around a pivot axis D, a hub 2 for guiding a stopper 7.
  • This stopper 7 is movable relative to the drive wheel 1, and comprises at least one stopper finger 8, which is disengageable and movable between an armed position in which the radial extension of the stopper finger 8 is maximum with respect to axis D, and a disarmed position in which the radial extension of stop finger 8 is minimal with respect to axis D.
  • This stop finger 8 is subjected to the action of an elastic return means 3 which tends to move it away from the axis D, or constitutes a part of this elastic return means 3, conventionally in the form of a finger-spring.
  • the stopper 7 comprises a first housing 71, the walls of which are arranged to cooperate, during the winding of the elastic return means 3 in abutment with a contact surface 51 which the elastic return means 3 comprises. , to limit the value of the winding and to limit the deformation of the elastic return means 3 to its elastic range only. It is thus possible to prevent damage to this elastic return means 3, in particular during adjustment operations, as will be explained below.
  • the hub 2 is integral with the drive wheel 1.
  • the elastic return means 3 is a spring, an inner end 4 of which is integral with the hub 2 and / or the driving wheel 1.
  • the elastic return means 3 is a spring, an outer end 6 of which is housed in a second housing 76 that comprises the stopper 7. More particularly, this outer end 6 is movable with play in the second housing 76.
  • the elastic return means 3 is a spring which comprises a coil 51, which is arranged to come into contact with the first housing 71 of the stopper 7 in the armed position according to a large contact zone ZC of an angular amplitude greater than 10 ° relative to the axis D, and to remain at a distance from the first housing 71 in the disarmed position.
  • this first housing 71 is formed by a bore, or a recess, or a counterbore, on at least one angular part capable of being in contact with the coil or turns of the spring.
  • the figures show a first housing 71 constituted by a recess over approximately 355 °, and which is cleared over an angle at the center of approximately 5 ° to allow the passage of the outer end of the spring 6 and its insertion into the second accommodation 76.
  • the stopper 7 comprises an oblong slot 9 in which the hub 2 is housed and which allows radial mobility of the stopper 7 relative to the hub 2 in order to modify the radial position of the peripheral stop finger 8 that the device comprises. stopper 7.
  • the invention also relates to a semi-instantaneous jump clock display mechanism 100 comprising such a mobile 10. More particularly, this mechanism 100 comprises drive means for driving the driving wheel 1, at least. a display mobile 110 which comprises teeth 108 arranged to cooperate with the stop finger 8 of the mobile 10, or a profile comprising reliefs able to cooperate with this stop finger 8.
  • this mechanism 100 is a date mechanism.
  • the figure 7 describes this particular and non-limiting case of a date mechanism.
  • a tooth 108 of the date indicator 110 rotating in the clockwise direction of the arrow in this figure, would push the finger 8, thus controlling the disengagement and the relative change of position. of the hub 2 relative to the oblong 9 during the radial withdrawal of the finger 8 under the thrust action exerted by a tooth 108, as visible on the figure 4 ; after the passage of the tooth 108, the spring 3 returns the finger 8 to the position illustrated by the figure 7 ; this finger 8 will drive a tooth 108 during the next date change.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece 1000 comprising at least one such semi-instantaneous jump clock display mechanism 100, in particular with control means 500. More particularly, this timepiece 1000 is a watch.
  • the invention makes it possible to secure a fragile mechanism, because it reduces the risk of breakage of the spring elements since the stop is made on a large bearing area of the spring, while providing a significant gain in the size compared to to existing mechanisms.
  • the maintenance of the elastic properties of the spring is guaranteed.
  • the invention guarantees better control of the forces.
  • the mechanism according to the invention stores energy in a controlled manner, with precise angular winding.
