Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention relève du domaine de l'horlogerie, et concerne notamment un dispositif de commande déporté d'un mouvement horloger d'une montre et une montre comprenant ledit dispositif de commande.The invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and relates in particular to a remote control device for a watch movement of a watch and a watch comprising said control device.

Arrière-plan technologiqueTechnology background

Un organe de commande, tel qu'un poussoir, un correcteur, une couronne, etc., est agencé dans une carrure d'une montre, généralement en vis-à-vis d'un mécanisme de mouvement horloger qu'il est destiné à actionner suite à une sollicitation d'un utilisateur.A control member, such as a pusher, a corrector, a crown, etc., is arranged in a middle part of a watch, generally opposite a watch movement mechanism that it is intended to actuate following a request from a user.

A titre d'exemple, les organes de commande de chronographe, de sonnerie, de changement de fuseau horaire, de correction de quantième, etc., sont fréquemment agencés à proximité immédiate des mécanismes du mouvement horloger qu'ils sont destinés à actionner.For example, the chronograph, striking, time zone change, date correction, etc. control elements are frequently arranged in close proximity to the mechanisms of the watch movement that they are intended to operate.

Ainsi, souvent l'architecture des mouvements horlogers est déterminée selon la disposition du ou des organes de commande dans la carrure, ou inversement.Thus, often the architecture of watch movements is determined according to the arrangement of the control member(s) in the caseband, or vice versa.

Toutefois, dans certains cas, il peut être recherché d'agencer les organes de commande à distance des mécanismes qu'ils sont destinés à actionner. Par exemple, afin de réduire les coûts de développement et de production d'une montre, il peut être particulièrement intéressant de concevoir une montre avec un mouvement horloger déjà produit et une carrure elle aussi déjà produite.However, in certain cases, it may be desired to arrange the remote control elements from the mechanisms they are intended to operate. For example, in order to reduce the development and production costs of a watch, it may be particularly interesting to design a watch with a watch movement already produced and a caseband also already produced.

Une des solutions développées pour répondre à ce besoin est décrite dans le document CH689570 . Cette solution présente la forme d'un dispositif de commande comportant un jeu de leviers permettant d'agencer l'organe de commande à distance du mécanisme à actionner.One of the solutions developed to meet this need is described in the document CH689570 . This solution has the form of a control device comprising a set of levers making it possible to arrange the remote control member of the mechanism to be operated.

Cette solution présente cependant l'inconvénient d'augmenter sensiblement les dimensions de la boite de montre dans laquelle elle est appliquée. En outre, elle n'autorise qu'un déport limité de l'organe de commande par rapport au mécanisme qu'il est destiné à actionner.This solution, however, has the disadvantage of significantly increasing the dimensions of the watch case in which it is applied. In addition, it only allows a limited offset of the control member relative to the mechanism it is intended to operate.

Un autre inconvénient des solutions existantes réside dans le fait que leur conception doit être adaptée en profondeur pour chaque cas de figure, en particulier selon les dimensions et la géométrie de la carrure, et selon la distance entre l'organe de commande et le mécanisme qu'il est destiné à actionner.Another disadvantage of existing solutions lies in the fact that their design must be adapted in depth for each case, in particular according to the dimensions and geometry of the middle, and according to the distance between the control member and the mechanism that it is intended to operate.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention résout les inconvénients précités en proposant un dispositif de commande déporté d'un mouvement horloger permettant à un organe de commande d'actionner un mécanisme du mouvement horloger sans que leur position l'un relativement à l'autre ne soit une contrainte.The invention resolves the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a remote control device for a watch movement allowing a control member to operate a mechanism of the watch movement without their position relative to each other being a constraint.

À cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande déporté d'un mouvement horloger d'une montre comportant un organe de commande d'entrée destiné à être sollicité par un utilisateur et relié cinématiquement, par le biais d'un organe de liaison, à un organe de commande de sortie destiné à agir sur le mouvement horloger de ladite montre. L'organe de liaison est destiné à être agencé de manière mobile en rotation autour du mouvement horloger et étant configuré de sorte à être entraîné en rotation par l'organe de commande d'entrée lorsque ce dernier est sollicité, et à provoquer, lors de cette rotation, le déplacement de l'organe de commande de sortie.To this end, the present invention relates to a remote control device for a watch movement of a watch comprising an input control member intended to be requested by a user and connected kinematically, via a connecting member , to an output control member intended to act on the watch movement of said watch.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande 10 déporté d'un mouvement horloger 100 d'une montre, tel que représenté sur les figures 1 à 5. Il y a lieu de noter que le mouvement horloger 100 est représenté en traits discontinus sur les figures, et que seule une partie de la montre est représentée.The present invention relates to a remote control device 10 of a watch movement 100 of a watch, as shown in the figures 1 to 5 . It should be noted that the watch movement 100 is represented in broken lines in the figures, and that only part of the watch is represented.

Le dispositif de commande 10 comporte au moins un organe de commande d'entrée 11 destiné à être sollicité par un utilisateur.The control device 10 comprises at least one input control member 11 intended to be requested by a user.

Comme le montrent les figures 1 à 5, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est relié cinématiquement, par le biais d'un organe de liaison 13, à un organe de commande de sortie 12 destiné à agir sur le mouvement horloger 100 de ladite montre.As shown in the figures 1 to 5 , the input control member 11 is connected kinematically, via a connecting member 13, to an output control member 12 intended to act on the watch movement 100 of said watch.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, le dispositif de commande 10 comporte deux organes de commande d'entrée 11 et deux organes de commande de sortie 12, chacun desdits organes de commandes d'entrée 11 étant relié cinématiquement à un organe de commande de sortie 12.In the embodiment shown on the figures 1 to 3 , the control device 10 comprises two input control members 11 and two output control members 12, each of said input control members 11 being kinematically connected to an output control member 12.

Alternativement, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 4 et 5, le dispositif de commande 10 comporte un unique organe de commande d'entrée 11 et un unique organe de commande de sortie 12.Alternatively, in the exemplary embodiment shown on the figures 4 and 5 , the control device 10 comprises a single input control member 11 and a single output control member 12.

Pour faciliter la lecture du présent texte, l'invention est décrite ci-dessous de façon générale, avec un unique organe de commande d'entrée 11 et un unique organe de commande de sortie 12.To facilitate reading of the present text, the invention is described below in general terms, with a single input control member 11 and a single output control member 12.

Comme le montrent les figures 1 à 3, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 peut être destiné à coopérer avec un composant horloger du mouvement horloger 100 par le biais d'un actionneur 101 du mouvement horloger 100, tel qu'un correcteur, un poussoir, un levier, une bascule, une roue, etc., du mouvement pour la réalisation d'une fonction dudit mouvement horloger 100.As shown in the figures 1 to 3 , the output control member 12 may be intended to cooperate with a watch component of the watch movement 100 via an actuator 101 of the watch movement 100, such as a corrector, a pusher, a lever, a rocker, a wheel, etc., of the movement for carrying out a function of said watch movement 100.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 4 et 5, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 est destiné à coopérer directement avec un composant horloger du mouvement horloger 100, tel qu'un balancier 102. Une telle fonction est alors une fonction d'arrêt de balancier, également appelé « stop-seconde » ou « stop-balancier ».In the exemplary embodiment of the invention shown on the figures 4 and 5 , the output control member 12 is intended to cooperate directly with a watch component of the watch movement 100, such as a balance wheel 102. Such a function is then a balance stop function, also called "stop-second" or “stop-balance”.

Dans des variantes de réalisation de l'invention, une telle fonction peut être une fonction d'un chronographe, une correction de quantième, de phase de lune, ou une fonction d'arrêt de cage de tourbillon ou de carrousel, etc.In alternative embodiments of the invention, such a function can be a function of a chronograph, a date correction, a moon phase correction, or a tourbillon cage or carousel stopping function, etc.

L'organe de commande de sortie 12 est ainsi destiné à être interposé entre le mouvement horloger 100 et l'organe de liaison 13, comme visible sur les figures 1 à 5.The output control member 12 is thus intended to be interposed between the watch movement 100 and the connecting member 13, as visible on the figures 1 to 5 .

L'organe de liaison 13 est destiné à être agencé de façon mobile en rotation autour du mouvement horloger 100 dans une structure porteuse, par exemple dans une carrure d'une boite de montre (non visible sur les figures). Plus précisément, la structure porteuse forme un logement annulaire, tel qu'une gorge, destinée à recevoir l'organe de liaison 13.The connecting member 13 is intended to be arranged in a movable manner in rotation around the watch movement 100 in a supporting structure, for example in a middle part of a watch case (not visible in the figures). More precisely, the supporting structure forms an annular housing, such as a groove, intended to receive the connecting member 13.

L'organe de liaison 13 forme préférentiellement un anneau fermé. Cependant, dans d'autres variantes de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe de liaison 13 peut former un anneau ouvert s'étendant sur un secteur angulaire dépendant de la distance angulaire séparant l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 et l'organe de commande de sortie 12.The connecting member 13 preferably forms a closed ring. However, in other alternative embodiments of the invention, the connecting member 13 can form an open ring extending over an angular sector depending on the angular distance separating the input control member 11 and the output control member 12.

Avantageusement, l'organe de liaison 13 est configuré de sorte à être entraîné en rotation par l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 lorsque ce dernier est sollicité, et à provoquer, lors de cette rotation, le déplacement de l'organe de commande de sortie 12.Advantageously, the connecting member 13 is configured so as to be rotated by the input control member 11 when the latter is requested, and to cause, during this rotation, the movement of the control member output 12.

L'organe de liaison 13 est défini entre une paroi périphérique interne 130 et une paroi périphérique externe 131, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 étant agencé au niveau de la paroi périphérique interne 130, à l'intérieur de l'organe de liaison 13. Tout ou partie de l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est agencé à l'extérieur de l'organe de liaison 13, comme visible sur les figures 1 à 5.The connecting member 13 is defined between an internal peripheral wall 130 and an external peripheral wall 131, the output control member 12 being arranged at the level of the internal peripheral wall 130, inside the connecting member 13. All or part of the input control member 11 is arranged outside the connecting member 13, as visible on the figures 1 to 5 .

Les organes de commande d'entrée 11 et de sortie 12 sont solidaires de la structure porteuse.The input 11 and output 12 control members are integral with the supporting structure.

En particulier, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est formé par un levier fixé à la structure porteuse de manière mobile en rotation, au niveau d'une première extrémité, ledit levier compotant, à une seconde extrémité, un profil de coopération 110.In particular, in the embodiment shown on the figure 1 , the input control member 11 is formed by a lever fixed to the supporting structure in a rotatable manner, at a first end, said lever comprising, at a second end, a cooperation profile 110.

Le profil de coopération 110 de l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est préférentiellement conformé en biseau et est configuré pour coopérer directement avec un élément de coopération mené 132 de l'organe de liaison 13, de sorte à entraîner ledit organe de liaison 13 en rotation lorsque ledit organe de commande d'entrée 11 est sollicité.The cooperation profile 110 of the input control member 11 is preferably shaped as a bevel and is configured to cooperate directly with a driven cooperation element 132 of the connecting member 13, so as to drive said connecting member 13 in rotation when said input control member 11 is requested.

En particulier, comme le montre la figure 2 ou la figure 3, lors du déplacement de l'organe de commande d'entrée 11, lorsque ce dernier est sollicité par un utilisateur, son profil de coopération 110 applique une pression sur l'élément de coopération mené 132 de l'organe de liaison 13 provoquant le pivotement dudit organe de liaison 13.In particular, as shown in figure 2 or the Figure 3 , during the movement of the input control member 11, when the latter is requested by a user, its cooperation profile 110 applies pressure on the driven cooperation element 132 of the connecting member 13 causing the pivoting of said connecting member 13.

L'élément de coopération mené 132 de l'organe de liaison 13 est constitué, dans l'exemple préféré de réalisation de l'invention, par un biseau de forme complémentaire de celle de la forme de biseau de l'organe de commande d'entrée 11.The driven cooperation element 132 of the connecting member 13 is constituted, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, by a bevel of shape complementary to that of the bevel shape of the input control member 11.

Par ailleurs, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 comporte également un profil de coopération 120 configuré pour coopérer avec l'organe de liaison 13, et plus particulièrement avec un élément de coopération menant 133 de ce dernier, de sorte que la rotation dudit organe de liaison 13 provoque le déplacement dudit organe de commande de sortie 12.Furthermore, the output control member 12 also includes a cooperation profile 120 configured to cooperate with the connecting member 13, and more particularly with a leading cooperation element 133 of the latter, so that the rotation of said member link 13 causes the movement of said output control member 12.

En particulier, comme le montrent les figures 1 à 3, le profil de coopération 120 de l'organe de commande de sortie 12 est conformé en biseau.In particular, as shown by figures 1 to 3 , the cooperation profile 120 of the output control member 12 is shaped like a bevel.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 est formé par un levier fixé à la structure porteuse de manière mobile en rotation, au niveau d'une première extrémité, ledit levier compotant, à une seconde extrémité, le profil de coopération 120. Avantageusement, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 est destiné à agir sur le mouvement horloger 100 par un flanc interne opposé au profil de coopération 120.In the embodiment shown on the figures 1 to 3 , the output control member 12 is formed by a lever fixed to the supporting structure in a rotatable manner, at a first end, said lever comprising, at a second end, the cooperation profile 120. Advantageously, the output control member 12 is intended to act on the watch movement 100 via an internal flank opposite the cooperation profile 120.

En outre, dans l'exemple de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, l'élément de coopération menant 133 est constitué par un ergot, par exemple formé par une goupille chassée dans l'organe de liaison 13.Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment of the invention shown on the figures 1 to 3 , the leading cooperation element 133 is constituted by a lug, for example formed by a pin driven into the connecting member 13.

Dans d'autres variantes de réalisation de l'invention non représentées sur les figures, les éléments de coopération mené 132 et menant 133 peuvent être indifféremment formés par des échancrures réalisées sur la paroi périphérique interne 130 et/ou externe 131 de l'organe de liaison 13, des ergots, biseaux ou par toute autre excroissance s'étendant depuis l'organe de liaison 13. Il va de soi que, suivant la variante de réalisation considéré de l'élément de coopération mené 132 ou menant 133, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 ou respectivement l'organe de commande de sortie 12 sont agencés dans des plans parallèles ou confondus avec le plan dans lequel s'étend l'organe de liaison 13.In other alternative embodiments of the invention not shown in the figures, the driven cooperation elements 132 and leading 133 can be either formed by notches made on the internal peripheral wall 130 and/or external 131 of the control member. connection 13, lugs, bevels or any other protrusion extending from the connecting member 13. It goes without saying that, depending on the variant of embodiment considered of the driven cooperation element 132 or leading 133, the member input control 11 or respectively the control member outlet 12 are arranged in planes parallel to or coincident with the plane in which the connecting member 13 extends.

Avantageusement, le dispositif de commande 10 peut comprendre un ressort (non représenté sur les figures) relié à l'organe de liaison 13 et tendant à le déplacer dans une position de repos dans laquelle ledit organe de liaison 13 est apte à coopérer avec l'organe de commande d'entrée 11. On entend par le terme « ressort », tout composant apte à se déformer élastiquement.Advantageously, the control device 10 can comprise a spring (not shown in the figures) connected to the connecting member 13 and tending to move it into a rest position in which said connecting member 13 is able to cooperate with the input control member 11. The term “spring” means any component capable of deforming elastically.

En particulier, lorsque l'organe de liaison 13 est dans la position de repos, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est également dans une position de repos, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'est pas sollicité par un utilisateur et est immobile, et par voie de conséquence, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 est également dans une position de repos, comme visible sur la figure 1.In particular, when the connecting member 13 is in the rest position, the input control member 11 is also in a rest position, that is to say it is not loaded by a user and is immobile, and consequently, the output control member 12 is also in a rest position, as visible on the figure 1 .

Pour son maintien dans sa position de repos, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 peut avantageusement être contraint par un ressort 111, par exemple constitué par une lame élastique s'étendant depuis la première extrémité dudit organe de commande d'entrée 11 et agencée en butée contre la structure porteuse.To maintain it in its rest position, the input control member 11 can advantageously be constrained by a spring 111, for example constituted by an elastic blade extending from the first end of said input control member 11 and arranged abutting against the supporting structure.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, les organes de commande d'entrée 11 sont configurés de sorte que, selon que l'un ou l'autre est sollicité, l'organe de liaison 13 est entraîné dans un sens de rotation différent et provoque le déplacement respectivement de l'un ou de l'autre organe de commande de sortie 12, comme le montrent respectivement les figures 2 et 3.In the embodiment shown on the figures 1 to 3 , the input control members 11 are configured so that, depending on whether one or the other is requested, the connecting member 13 is driven in a different direction of rotation and causes the movement respectively of one or the other output control member 12, as shown respectively in the figures 2 and 3 .

Les deux organes de commande d'entrée 11 sont conformes à la description de l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 réalisée ci-dessus et sont préférentiellement identiques, comme illustré sur les figures 1 à 3. En outre, les organes de commande d'entrée 11 sont préférentiellement agencés de manière symétrique l'un par rapport à l'autre, selon un plan diamétral de l'organe de liaison 13.The two input control members 11 conform to the description of the input control member 11 made above and are preferably identical, as illustrated in the figures 1 to 3 . Furthermore, the input control members 11 are preferably arranged symmetrically with respect to each other, along a diametrical plane of the connecting member 13.

De manière analogue, les deux organes de commande de sortie 12 sont conformes à la description de l'organe de commande de sortie 12 réalisée ci-dessus et sont préférentiellement identiques, comme le montrent les figures 1 à 3. En outre, les organes de commande de sortie 12 sont préférentiellement agencés de manière symétrique l'un par rapport à l'autre, selon un plan diamétral de l'organe de liaison 13.Analogously, the two output control members 12 conform to the description of the output control member 12 made above and are preferably identical, as shown in the figures 1 to 3 . Furthermore, the output control members 12 are preferably arranged symmetrically with respect to each other, along a diametrical plane of the connecting member 13.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, l'organe de liaison 13 comporte deux éléments de coopération menés 132, chacun destiné à coopérer avec l'un des organes de commande d'entrée 11, et comporte deux éléments de coopération menant 133, chacun destiné à coopérer avec l'un des organes de commande de sortie 12.In the exemplary embodiment of the invention shown on the figures 1 to 3 , the connecting member 13 comprises two driven cooperation elements 132, each intended to cooperate with one of the input control members 11, and comprises two leading cooperation elements 133, each intended to cooperate with one of the output control members 12.

Comme représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 dans un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe de liaison 13 comprend en outre préférentiellement, un élément de verrouillage 134 agencé pour constituer une butée interdisant toute mobilité de l'un des organes de commande d'entrée 11, lorsque l'autre est sollicité.As shown on the figures 1 to 3 in an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the connecting member 13 further preferably comprises a locking element 134 arranged to constitute a stop preventing any mobility of one of the input control members 11, when the other is requested.

En particulier, l'élément de verrouillage 134 peut avantageusement être formé par une dent s'étendant entre deux flancs radiaux biseautés constituant chacun un élément de coopération mené 132 destiné à coopérer avec l'un des organes de commande d'entrée 11. La dent comprend en outre un flanc interne opposé à un flanc externe reliant les flancs radiaux entre eux. Le flanc externe est de forme courbe, de même que le flanc interne, et est agencé de sorte à constituer une butée interdisant toute mobilité d'un des organes de commande d'entrée 11, lorsque l'autre est sollicité, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 2 et 3.In particular, the locking element 134 can advantageously be formed by a tooth extending between two beveled radial flanks each constituting a driven cooperation element 132 intended to cooperate with one of the input control members 11. The tooth further comprises an internal flank opposite an external flank connecting the radial flanks together. The external side is of curved shape, as is the internal side, and is arranged so as to constitute a stop preventing any mobility of one of the input control members 11, when the other is requested, as illustrated on the figures 2 and 3 .

Comme visible sur les figures 1 à 3, les flancs radiaux biseautés constituant les éléments de coopération menés 132, le flanc externe s'étend sur un secteur angulaire plus faible que celui sur lequel s'étend le flanc interne.As visible on the figures 1 to 3 , the beveled radial flanks constituting the driven cooperation elements 132, the external flank extends over an angular sector smaller than that over which the internal flank extends.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 4 et 5, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est formé par une tige, notamment une tige de mise à l'heure, agencée de façon mobile en coulissement par rapport à la structure porteuse. L'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est agencé de sorte à s'étendre à travers l'organe de liaison 13 et à déboucher depuis la paroi périphérique interne 130 par une portion interne et depuis la paroi périphérique externe 131 par une portion externe, comme représenté sur les figures 4 et 5.In the exemplary embodiment of the invention shown on the figures 4 and 5 , the input control member 11 is formed by a rod, in particular a time setting rod, arranged to move in sliding relative to the supporting structure. The inlet control member 11 is arranged so as to extend through the connecting member 13 and to emerge from the internal peripheral wall 130 through an internal portion and from the external peripheral wall 131 through an external portion, as shown on the figures 4 and 5 .

L'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est destiné à être sollicité en traction selon son axe longitudinal, depuis sa portion externe par un utilisateur, et est configuré pour coopérer depuis sa portion interne, par le biais d'un élément de transmission, avec un élément de coopération mené 132 de l'organe de liaison 13.The input control member 11 is intended to be requested in traction along its longitudinal axis, from its external portion by a user, and is configured to cooperate from its internal portion, by means of a transmission element, with a driven cooperation element 132 of the connecting member 13.

Plus particulièrement, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est configuré pour coopérer, par le biais d'un profil de coopération 110, avec une bascule de transmission 14. La bascule de transmission 14 est fixée de manière mobile en rotation à la structure porteuse et coopère avec l'organe de liaison 13, de sorte que le coulissement dudit organe de commande d'entrée 11 entraîne la rotation de ladite bascule de transmission 14, qui provoque la rotation de l'organe de liaison 13.More particularly, the input control member 11 is configured to cooperate, via a cooperation profile 110, with a transmission rocker 14. The transmission rocker 14 is fixed in a movable manner in rotation to the structure carrier and cooperates with the connecting member 13, so that the sliding of said input control member 11 causes the rotation of said transmission rocker 14, which causes the rotation of the connecting member 13.

Préférentiellement, le profil de coopération 110 présente la forme d'une rainure radiale avec laquelle coopère une première extrémité de la bascule de transmission 14 sous une forme de doigt. Par ailleurs, l'élément de coopération mené 132 coopère selon une liaison pivot avec une seconde extrémité de la bascule de transmission 14.Preferably, the cooperation profile 110 has the shape of a radial groove with which a first end of the transmission rocker 14 cooperates in the form of a finger. Furthermore, the driven cooperation element 132 cooperates in a pivot connection with a second end of the transmission rocker 14.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 4 et 5, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 comporte également un profil de coopération 120 configuré pour coopérer avec un élément de coopération menant 133 de l'organe de liaison 13, de sorte que la rotation dudit organe de liaison 13 provoque le déplacement dudit organe de commande de sortie 12.In the embodiment shown on the figures 4 and 5 , the output control member 12 also comprises a cooperation profile 120 configured to cooperate with a leading cooperation element 133 of the connecting member 13, so that the rotation of said member link 13 causes the movement of said output control member 12.

L'organe de commande de sortie 12 est, dans cet exemple de réalisation de l'invention, formé par un levier fixé de manière mobile en rotation, d'une part à la structure porteuse, et d'autre part à l'organe de liaison 13.The output control member 12 is, in this exemplary embodiment of the invention, formed by a lever fixed in a movable manner in rotation, on the one hand to the supporting structure, and on the other hand to the control member. connection 13.

En particulier, comme le montrent les figures 4 et 5, le profil de coopération 120 et l'élément de coopération menant 133 peuvent être indifféremment respectivement formés par une goupille et un alésage. La liaison pivot entre l'organe de commande de sortie 12 et la structure porteuse peut avantageusement être réalisée de façon analogue.In particular, as shown by figures 4 and 5 , the cooperation profile 120 and the driving cooperation element 133 can be indifferently respectively formed by a pin and a bore. The pivot connection between the output control member 12 and the supporting structure can advantageously be produced in a similar manner.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe de commande de sortie 12 comporte un bras d'appui 121 destiné à être agencé en appui contre le balancier du mouvement horloger 100 afin de réaliser la fonction d'arrêt de balancier, lorsque l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 est sollicité, comme visible sur la figure 5.In this exemplary embodiment of the invention, the output control member 12 comprises a support arm 121 intended to be arranged to rest against the balance of the watch movement 100 in order to perform the balance stop function, when the input control member 11 is requested, as visible on the Figure 5 .

De manière plus générale, il est à noter que les modes de mise en oeuvre et de réalisation considérés ci-dessus ont été décrits à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, et que d'autres variantes sont par conséquent envisageables.More generally, it should be noted that the modes of implementation and embodiment considered above have been described by way of non-limiting examples, and that other variants are therefore possible.

Notamment, l'organe de commande d'entrée 11 et/ou l'organe de commande de sortie 12 sont formés par des bascules dans la présente description mais peuvent être formé par tout type de commande, tels que des tirettes, boutons poussoirs, couronne, roue, etc.In particular, the input control member 11 and/or the output control member 12 are formed by flip-flops in the present description but can be formed by any type of control, such as pull-tabs, push buttons, crown , wheel, etc.
