- the difference lies in the fact that in the present invention, the counting is carried out by the stroke of the feeler 231 from its rest position to its active position, that is to say when the feeler 231 moves to the contact of the snail cam 230; whereas for a minute repeater, counting is carried out by the stroke of a minute piece from an active position in which it is in contact with a minute snail, to a rest position.
- the transmission train comprises a first toothed wheel 235 meshed with the rake 232, and a second toothed wheel 236 arranged to be able to move the second actuator 220 of the pendulum 20, said first and second toothed wheel 235 and 236 being kinematically connected to each other.
- the first and the second toothed wheel 235 and 236 are carried by the auxiliary barrel 234 and linked kinematically to the second actuator 220, as shown in figure 9 .
- the clock movement of the clock 20 further comprises a clutch lever 240 adapted to separate the first and the second toothed wheel 235 and 236 from each other, and more precisely the first toothed wheel 235 and the auxiliary barrel 234
- the clutch lever 240 is fixed in a rotatable manner on the frame of the pendulum and is configured so as to be, in a clutching position, in engagement with a toothed wheel, called "third toothed wheel”. 237, kinematically linked to the toothed wheel 235 by a satellite gear train, and to be, in a disengaged position, disengaged from said third toothed wheel 237.
- the second toothed wheel 236 is advantageously meshed with an output mobile, here formed by a ratchet 233 arranged in a rotatable manner and having a plurality of triangular teeth, also called "wolf teeth” by those skilled in the art, against the one of which is arranged to support the second actuator 220 of the pendulum 20.
- This second actuator 220 of the pendulum 20 takes the form of a control lever in the preferred embodiment of the invention represented on the figure 2 And 9 .
- This control lever is for example biased towards the ratchet 233 by elastic return means or by gravity, so as to be driven by a back and forth movement during the rotation of the wolf teeth of the ratchet 233.
- the second actuator 220 is thus adapted to alternately take two distinct extreme positions during the rotation of the ratchet 233.
- the second actuator 220 of the clock 20 transmits a pulse to the second actuator 320 of the watch 30, in order to move it between two extreme positions.
- the speed of rotation of the ratchet 233 is advantageously regulated by an exhaust speed regulator known as such by those skilled in the art and similar to that shown in the detail view of the figure 9 for regulating the rotation the cam of the first actuator.
- the elastic link 238 is connected to an all-or-nothing device 242 adapted to act on the ratchet 233 and on the clutch lever 240.
- the elastic link 238 and the all-or-nothing device 242 are configured so that, when the feeler 231 is driven in rotation by the rake 232, under the effect of the auxiliary barrel 234, until it comes into contact with the cochlear cam 230, the elastic connection 238 deforms and stresses the all-or-nothing device 242 so that the latter immobilizes the ratchet 233 and pivots the lever clutch 240 in order to separate the first toothed wheel 235 and the auxiliary barrel 234.
- the all-or-nothing device 242 comprises a hook 241 adapted to cooperate with the teeth of the ratchet 233 so as to immobilize the latter.
- the clutch lever therefore releases the feeler 231 from the grip of the auxiliary barrel 234, which allows the rake 232 and the feeler 231 to return to their rest positions under the constraint of their return spring (not shown on the figure 9 ).
- the displacement of the sensor 231 from its rest position to its active position is triggered by the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20, by dedicated means not shown in the figures and within the reach of those skilled in the art, when said first actuator 210 occupies a predetermined position as described in more detail in the following text.
- the feeler 231 is driven in rotation via the rake 232 meshing with the auxiliary barrel 234, as well as the ratchet 233 which imparts a to-and-fro movement to the second actuator 220, and this until the feeler 231 bears against the cochlea cam 230.
- the feeler 231 reaches its active position, the ratchet 233 is immobilized and the rake 232 is separated from the auxiliary barrel 234, so that the feeler 231 is driven to its rest position by the feeler return spring
- the pendulum 20 may include a cam 211 as shown in the detail view of the figure 9 to cause the movement of the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20.
- This cam 211 is different from the ratchet 233 of the second actuator 220 insofar as it has portions of profiles connected by ramps configured to move said first actuator 210 along at least three distinct positions, one after the other, so as to define a time cycle of predetermined positions which follow one another at a defined speed.
- the first actuator 210 takes the form of a control rod or a control lever as shown in the figures. figure 2 And 9 , and is also urged towards the cam 211 by elastic return means 212, as visible on the figure 9 .
- the first actuator 210 can be moved in translation or in rotation by the cam 211, depending on the embodiment considered.
- the cam 211 is intended to pivot counterclockwise, contrary to the general view of the same figure 9 or the cam is intended to pivot clockwise for reasons specific to the construction of the mechanism.
- the cam 211 is driven in rotation by a dedicated energy source, such as a weight or a barrel, and is integral with a multiplication train and a regulation mechanism composed of an escapement and an oscillator , so as to regulate its rotation speed, known as such to those skilled in the art and shown in the detail view of the figure 9 .
- a dedicated energy source such as a weight or a barrel
- a regulation mechanism composed of an escapement and an oscillator
- the pendulum 20 comprises two control means 2130 and 2131 intended to authorize or prohibit the pivoting of the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20.
- the control means 2130 and 2131 are arranged to allow the rotation of the cam 211 and thus the modification of the position of the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20.
- the two control means 2130 and 2131 make it possible to authorize or prohibit the rotation of the cam 211 over one revolution.
- one of the control means called “first control means” 2130, makes it possible to start the rotation of the cam 211 and its immobilization, that is to say to start the time-setting process described in detail below, and to complete it.
- the other control means called “second control means” 2131 stops the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20 during the movement of the second actuator 220 followed by the start of the five-minute waiting period to release the first actuator 310 of the clock 20 again.
- each of the first and second control means 2130 and 2131 is formed by a lever intended to bear against the circumference of a control cam 2132 concentric with the cam 211 and integral with the latter.
- the circumference of the control cam 2132 includes at least one radial notch respectively intended to cooperate with the two control means 2130 and 2131.
- the levers both comprise a beak designed to cooperate with the teeth of one of the mobiles of the multiplication gear train to immobilize said gear train.
- the clock 20 comprises only a single control means in the form of a lever, said lever then comprising two beaks.
- the control cam 2132 and the cam 211 can form a single one-piece cam.
- the first control means 2130 is arranged to be operated by the user.
- the second control means 2131 is arranged to be controlled by the clock 20 at the next passage of five minutes following the end of the counting carried out by the feeler 231, by a mechanism linked to the rotation of the minute displays of the clock 20. This is to generate the timeout to release the first actuator 310 of the clock 20.
- the first control means 2130 When the first control means 2130 is operated or piloted, it allows the rotation of the cam 211, and therefore the solicitation of the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 by the first actuator 210 of the clock 20, and consequently the movement of said first actuator 310 of the watch 30 from an initial position to a first position, that is to say the start of a first operational phase.
- this change of position is carried out over a period of about five seconds and the first position is maintained for about five seconds.
- a second operational phase then begins in which the first actuator 210 of the clock 20 causes the movement of the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 into a second position.
- the second control means 2131 cooperates with the notch of the control cam 2132 so as to immobilize the cam 211 during the waiting time necessary to perform the function of the second actuator described previously added to the waiting time for the next passage of the clock at the time displayed by the watch, in steps of 5 minutes for example.
- a third phase is started in which the second control means 2131 is disengaged from the notch of the control cam 2132, which makes it possible to restart the rotation of the cam 211 and thus the actuation of the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 by the first actuator 210 of the clock 20, so that said first actuator 310 of the watch 30 occupies a third position corresponding to the initial position.
- this change of position is carried out over a period of approximately 0.1 second and the third position is maintained by the cooperation of the first control means 2130 with the notch of the control cam 2132 so as to immobilize the cam 211.
- the two control means 2130 and 2131 are configured to alternately authorize or prohibit the actuation of the first actuator 210 of the clock 20.
- the first actuator 210 of the clock 20 drives the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 into the first position.
- the watch 30 in this first operational phase is represented on the figure 3 And 11 .
- the first actuator 210 of the clock 20 bears against portions of the profile of the cam 211.
- the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20 occupies the initial position in which it bears against a sector 217 of a first portion 2170 of the profile of the cam 211.
- This first portion 2170 comprises a first ramp 219 defining an increase in cam radius making it possible to drive, from its initial position, the first actuator 310 of watch 30 into its first position at a controlled speed, for example 5 seconds, during the first operational phase.
- the first actuator 310 of the watch is driven into its first position when the first actuator 210 of the clock 20 reaches, following its run along the first ramp 219, a second portion 214 of the cam 211.
- the first operational phase is carried out when the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20 is resting against the second portion 214.
- This second portion 214 is concentric, that is to say whose radius of the cam 211 on the second portion 214 is constant, so as to maintain the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 in the first position over a predefined period, for example 5 seconds.
- This predefined delay allows the performance of the following functions, during the first operational phase.
- the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is configured so that when it occupies the first position, it requests the reset mechanism so as to move the displays for the hours 31 and the minutes 32 of the watch 30 to their position. reference.
- the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 drives the transmission lever 39 in rotation until the pin 395 engages in the notch 396 of the hammer 391. This thus allows movement of the hammer 391 into the active position under the action of the hammer spring 392, and consequently the movement of the hour 31 and minute 32 displays to their reference position.
- the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is also configured so that when it occupies the first position, it acts on the clutch mechanism 38 so as to cause the disengagement of the going train 36 and of the display train 35 and causes the stop lever 370 to be driven into a blocking position of the resonator 34 of the watch 30.
- the rotation of the transmission lever 39 caused by the displacement of the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 towards its first position drives, through the pin 395, the first and the second arm 380 and 381 in rotation towards each other, against the return force generated by the clutch spring 382, and thus the disengagement of the clutch mechanism 38.
- the rotation of the transmission lever 39 causes the movement of the stop lever rocker 371 under the effect of the force generated by the spring stop lever until the stop lever 370 bears against the pendulum, consequently causing the resonator 34 to stop.
- the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20 is driven bearing against a ramp 216 from a third portion 2150 of the profile of the cam 211 until to reach, within a practically instantaneous time, for example 0.1 second, a sector 215 of said third portion 2150.
- a sector 215 of said third portion 2150 When it reaches this sector 215, the first actuator 210 of the clock 20 drives the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 in the second position.
- the ramp 216 is defined by a decrease in the radial section, representing the radius, of the cam 211 considering the direction of rotation of said cam 211 in the present text.
- the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is therefore further back with respect to the watch 30 than when it occupies the first position.
- the watch 30 in this second operational phase is represented on the figure 4 And 12 .
- the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is configured so that it resets the hammer 391, that is to say that it drives the hammer 391 at a distance from the heart cam 390, in its position inactive.
- the pin 395 is forced to withdraw from the notch 396 of the hammer 391 during the movement of the transmission lever 39 caused by the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 when he is dragged to his second position.
- the pin 395 therefore subsequently rests against the side of the hammer 391, and causes it to rotate against the hammer spring 392.
- the resetting of the hammer 391 does not cause any modification of the position of the displays for the hours 31 and the minutes 32 of the watch 30 thanks to the cooperation between the jumper 393 and the toothed wheel 394 carried by the minutes display mobile.
- the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20 is configured so that, when it is driven into its second position, it causes the ratchet 233 to rotate and the feeler 231 to move from its rest position to its active position. , and consequently the actuation of the second actuator 220 of the pendulum 20.
- the first actuator 210 of the clock 20 can for example act via a dedicated mechanism not shown in the figures, on the hook 241, so as to move it back from the ratchet 233 in order to allow its rotation under the stress of the auxiliary barrel 234.
- the movement of the hook 241 has the effect of pivoting the clutch lever 240 so as to secure in rotation the first and the second toothed wheel 235 and 236 with each other, causing the rotation of the rake 232 under the stress of the auxiliary barrel 234 and thus the pivoting of the feeler 231 from its rest position to its active position.
- the second actuator 220 of the clock 20 therefore drives the second actuator 320 of the watch 30 in a back and forth movement between two extreme positions.
- the angular travel of the probe 231 corresponds to the number of steps separating the time corresponding to the reference position of the displays of the watch 30, from the current time indicated by the displays of the clock 20.
- the second actuator 320 of the watch 30 is arranged to drive, during each of its back and forth movements, the minute display 32 of the watch 30 by a step of a given value via the setting rocker at hour 321, the drive of the minute display 32 causing the movement of the hour display 31.
- the value of steps is an integer submultiple of the hour: one minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes, six minutes, ten minutes, twelve minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
- the cochlea cam 230 and the feeler 231 are configured so that the second actuator 220 of the clock 20 drives the second actuator 320 of the watch 30 so as to move the minutes display 32 so that the position of the minutes displays 32 and hours 31 of watch 30 corresponds to that of the displays for minutes 22 and hours 21 of clock 20 plus at least one step.
- the second actuator 320 of the watch 30 is acted upon by the second actuator 220 of the clock 20 so as to drive the hour 31 and minute 32 displays of the watch 30 in successive steps, until 'at a position corresponding to that of the current time plus a predetermined additional number of steps, for example a number of steps corresponding to a value of five minutes.
- the second control means 2131 is arranged so as to immobilize the cam 211 during the actuation of the second actuator 220 of the clock 20, that is to say during the increased time setting of the watch 30, and during the waiting period, for example of five minutes, at the end of said increased time setting of the watch 30.
- the third operational phase is activated, by the second control means 2131 controlled following the immobilization of the second actuator 220 of the clock 20 and by the transition to the next 5 full minutes of the clock 20 as described above.
- the cam 211 is driven in rotation so that the first actuator 210 of the pendulum 20 bears against a fourth portion 218 of the profile of the cam 211 in the form of a ramp so as to drive the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 into its third position, that is to say into its initial position.
- the cam 211 is immobilized, in this third phase, by the first control means 2130.
- the fourth portion 218 defines a decrease in the radial section of the cam 211 considering the direction of rotation of said cam 211.
- the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is therefore further back with respect to the watch 30 than when it occupies the second position.
- the watch 30 in this third operational phase is represented on the figure 5 And 13 .
- the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is configured to cause the engagement of the clutch mechanism 38 and the drive of the stop lever 370 into a release position of the resonator 34 of the watch 30.
- the first actuator 310 of watch 30 can be configured to, during this phase, maintain the winding of hammer 391.
- the rotation of the transmission lever 39 drives, by means of the pin 395, the first and the second arms 380 and 381 in rotation one and the other in opposite directions under the effect of the return force generated by the clutch spring 382.
- the jumper 393 is configured so that, during the movement of the transmission lever 39 when the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is driven towards its third position, the pin 395 bears on one of its sides so as to move it away from the toothed wheel 394, which makes it possible to free the rotation of the minute display 32 from watch 30.
- the first actuator 210 of the clock 20 is configured so as to control the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 to start the implementation of the third operational phase, when the current time, that is to say the time indicated by the displays for hours 21 and minutes 22 of the clock 20, corresponds to the time indicated by the displays for hours 31 and minutes 32 of the watch 30.
- the third phase corresponds to the initial phase, that is to say a state of the watch 30 in which it is before the start of the first phase with the exception of the displays of the watch 30, which are in phase with those of the clock 20.
- the transmission lever 39 is subjected to a return force by a lever spring tending to move it into a so-called "initial position" position corresponding to that in which it is when the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 in the third position.
- This return force is advantageously dimensioned so that the transmission lever 39 is driven into the initial position when the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is not acted upon by the first actuator 210 of the clock 20, that is to say say when the first actuator 310 of the watch 30 is in the third position.
- the position of the first and second actuators 310 and 320 of the watch 30 in this third phase corresponds to rest positions in which they are arranged, in particular, when the watch 30 does not cooperate with the clock 20.
- durations of the aforementioned operational phases and of the transitions between each of said phases are proportional to the angular amplitude over which the portions of cam profile 211 and the ramps between said portions extend.
- the transmission lever 39 can cooperate with each of the two arms 380 and 381, said arms 380 and 381 then being independent of each other and cooperating with a dedicated clutch spring.
- one of the arms 380 or 381 or the arms 380 and 381 may comprise an elastic portion so as to constitute the clutch spring. This characteristic advantageously makes it possible to avoid the use of a dedicated clutch spring.
- transmission lever 39 can be replaced by a column wheel as used in watch movements of the chronograph type.
