Definitions

  • a rotatable setting wheel is moved into engagement with a day-and-date changing mechanism during axial movement of the winding stem to the first position and is moved into engagement with a hand-setting mechanism in response to axial movement of the winding stem to the second position.
  • a clutch wheel clutches the winding stem to the setting wheel when the winding stem is in the first position whereby rotation of the winding stem effects rotational driving of the day-and-date changing mechanism and the clutch wheel clutches the winding stem to the setting wheel when the winding stem is in the second position whereby rotation of the winding stem effects rotational driving' of the hand-setting mechanism.
  • a set of levers coact together during axial movement of the winding stem between the first and second positions to engage the setting wheel with the handsetting mechanism prior to clutching of the winding stem to the setting wheel.
  • the present invention relates to a day-and-date changing device for a wristwatch and more particularly to a day-and-date changing device for enabling day and date corrections to be accurately carried out in response to turning movement of a winding stem when same is in a given axial position and for preventing erroneous operation during axial movement of the winding stem.
  • day and date corrections have been effected in such a way that a day-date correcting wheel selectively engages with a date dial or a day star through a swing lever for effecting a day or date correction in response to clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the winding stem when same is in a pulled out position.
  • the setting of the watch hands is effected by further pulling out or pushing in the winding stem to engage a setting wheel with a minute wheel. ln setting the watch hands, the hands move properly when the tooth crest of the setting wheel corresponds properly to the tooth bottom of the minute wheel or vice versa. If, however, the teeth of these wheels are staggered with respect to each other, a large tongue must be applied to the winding stem to rotate the setting wheel because the day-date correcting wheel is engaged with the minute wheel.
  • the minute wheel is rotated to some extent in either direction upon engagement or disengagement with the setting wheel so that accidental operation of the watch hands may occur.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a day-and-date changing device for a wristwatch which eliminates any erroneous hand-setting corrections and day and date corrections during axial displacement of the winding stem.
  • a day-and-date changing device for a wrist watch having a winding stem which is axially displaceable to a first working position wherein day and date corrections are effected and a second working position wherein hand setting is effected comprises a setting wheel lever assembly operative in response to pivotal movement of a setting lever which is pivoted in response to a push and pull movement of the winding stern, a setting wheel operative by the setting wheel lever assenbly and movable between a clutch wheel and a minute wheel for selectively engaging with both wheels to selectively effect day and date corrections and hand setting, and a setting lever spring having at least two concave portions for engaging with a dowel provided on the setting lever to limit the movement of the setting lever.
  • the setting lever has a projecting engageable with a clutch lever to urge the clutch wheel into engagement with the setting wheel and the setting wheel lever assembly has a projection engageable with the setting lever spring.
  • the setting lever is pivoted during axial displacement of the winding stem to move the dowel from one to the other of the concave portions to thereby act upon the projection of the lever assembly and to cause the projection of the setting lever to act upon the clutch lever with a predetermined time lag with the result that the clutch wheel engages with said setting wheel with a predetermined time lag during which time the setting wheel engages with the minute wheel while the setting wheel is in a freely rotatable condition.
  • a setting lever assembly 1 comprises a setting pin la engaging with a guide aperture 2a provided in a setting lever 2, a pin 1b pivotally mounting the setting wheel lever assembly 1, an elongated resiliently and elastically deformable portion 1c engaging with a stationary pin 4 attached to a base plate 3, and an arm le having therein an elongated aperture ld.
  • a day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 including a pinion 5 and a pawl wheel 6 is mounted for movement within the elongated aperture 1d.
  • the setting lever assembly 1 further includes another arm lfon which a day-star driving wheel 9 is pivotally mounted and the driving wheel 9 is in mesh with a day star 8.
  • the setting wheel lever assembly 1 has elasticity to the extent that the arm lf can move towards the elongated portion lc due to resilient bending of the portion 1c.
  • the setting wheel lever assembly 1 further comprises a rotatable setting wheel 12 disposed between and engageable with a clutch wheel 10 and a minute wheel 11 and rotatably mounted on the arm 1e for engagement with the pinion 5 of the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 through an intermediate gear wheel 13.
  • the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 is freely displaceable within the elongated aperture 1d of the setting wheel lever assembly 1.
  • the intermediate wheel 13 is rotatably mounted on the setting wheel lever assembly 1 in the same way as the setting wheel 12.
  • the intermediate wheel 13 and the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 are connected by means of a swing lever 14 and the pins about which these wheels rotate are in frictional engagement with the swing lever 14. Consequently, the swing lever 14 can swing or pivot about the intermediate wheel 13.
  • the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 swings about the elongated aperture 1d in the setting wheel lever assembly 1 so that the pawl wheel 6 of the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 engages with either a date dial 15 or with the day star driving wheel 9.
  • the guide aperture 2a has a stepped portion 212 at the inner surface thereof profiled to engage with and push the setting pin la so as to pivot the setting wheel lever assembly 1 in a counterclockwise direction about the pin lb when the setting lever 2 is pivoted clockwise around the mounting pin 20 in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 1, in response to the pulling out of the winding stem.
  • a projection lg provided on the arm 1e of the setting wheel lever assembly l engages with and pushes against a setting lever spring 17 driven by a dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 thereby resiliently bending the setting wheel lever assembly 1.
  • the guide aperture 2a of the setting lever 2 functions to guide the setting pin la as well as to retain the setting wheel lever assembly 1 in position as it is displaced.
  • a clutch lever 18 is pivotal about a pin 18b and is movable to effect engagement of the clutch wheel with either a winding pinion 19 or with the setting wheel 12.
  • the clutch lever 18 is displaced into one working position by the projecting portion 2e of the setting lever 2 when the winding stem is pulled out one step and the clutch lever 18 is further displaced into another working position by the projecting portion 2f of the setting lever 2 when the winding stem is further pulled out another step.
  • the displacement of the clutch lever 18 by the projecting portion 2f is carried out just after the setting wheel lever assembly 1 is displaced by means of the setting lever spring 17.
  • a banking pin 22 is fixed on the base plate 3 for stopping the displacement of the swing lever 14. Also fixed on the base plate 3 are a day jumper 20 and a date jumper 21.
  • FIG. 1 shows the components in their mainspring winding positions wherein the watch mainspring may be wound.
  • the clutch lever 18 is disengaged from the projecting portion 2e of the setting lever 2 whereby the clutch lever 18 is biased around the pin 18b in a counterclockwise direction by the setting lever spring 17. Accordingly, the clutch wheel 10 is urged into engagement with the winding pinion 19 so that the mainspring may be wound in response to rotation of the winding stem.
  • the swing lever 14 can swing freely because the setting wheel 12 is disengaged from both the clutch wheel 10 and the minute wheel 11.
  • the setting wheel 12 is disengaged from both the clutch wheel 10 and the minute wheel 11.
  • FIG. 2 shows the components in their day-and-date changing positions wherein the day and date corrections can be carried out and this condition is obtained by pulling out the winding stern one step or increment.
  • the setting lever 2 is pivoted in a clockwise direction around the pin so that the dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 engages with a central one 17b of three concave portions 17a and 17c provided on the setting lever spring 17.
  • the clutch lever 18 is pivoted in a clockwise direction by means of the projecting portion 2e of the setting lever 2 to the extent that the clutch wheel 10 is disengaged from the winding pinion 19 and engaged with the setting wheel 12.
  • the dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 slides along the setting lever spring 17 from the concave portion 17a to the concave portion 17b during the pulling-out of the winding stem 16 so that the setting lever spring 17 is resiliently flexed a short distance in a clockwise direction until it moves adjacent to the projecting portion lg of the setting wheel lever assembly 1.
  • the setting lever 2 is pivoted until the stepped portion 2b of the guide aperture 2a moves adjacent the setting pin 1a without pushing it. If the winding stem 16 is then rotated leftwardly, the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction through the setting wheel 12 and the intermediate wheel 13 simultaneously with clockwise swinging movement of the swing lever 14 around the pin of the intermediate wheel 13 whereby the pawl wheel 6 of the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 engages with the day-star driving wheel 9 to thereby effect a day correction.
  • the swing lever 14 is swung in a counterclockwise direction around the pin of the intermediate wheel 13 whereby the pawl wheel 6 of the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 engages with the date dial 15 to thereby effect a date correction.
  • the day-date correcting wheel 7 is rotated by the setting wheel 12 and the intermediate wheel 13 and in addition, the wheel assembly revolves around the pin of the intermediate wheel 13 by means of the swing lever 14 to thereby perform the day and date corrections.
  • FIG. 3 shows the components in their hand-setting positions wherein the hand-setting operation can be carried out and this condition is obtained by pulling out the winding stem two steps or increments.
  • the setting lever 2 is further pivoted in the clockwise direction so that the dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 slides along the setting lever spring 17 from the concave portion 17b to the concave portion 170.
  • the projecting portion 2e of the setting lever 2 is also pivoted in the clockwise direction, but it never presses against the clutch lever 18 until it reaches a predetermined position because the surface of the clutch lever 18 against which the projecting portion 2e strikes is also pivoted in a clockwise direction to the predetermined position.
  • the clutch lever 18 is pivoted in the clockwise direction by means of the projecting portion 2f of the setting lever 2 while the projecting portion 2e of the setting lever 2 moves within a recessed portion of the clutch lever to thereby temporarily render the clutch lever 18 inoperative during the predetermined pivotal movement of the clutch lever during which time the dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 pushes the setting lever spring 17 in a clockwise direction against the elasticity.
  • the projecting portion lg of the setting wheel lever assembly 1 is pushed by the setting lever spring 17 because the latter is pivoted further when the dowel 2d of thesetting lever 2 slides along the setting lever spring 17 from the concave portions 17b to than when it slides from the concave portions 17a to 17b. Accordingly, the arms 1e and 1f of the setting wheel lever assembly 1 are pivoted to some extent in the counterclockwise direction around the pin lb against the elasticity of the arm 1c thereby disengaging the setting wheel 12 from the clutch wheel 10.
  • the clutch lever 18 reaches some intermediate position wherein the setting wheel 12 is disengaged from the clutch wheel and the setting wheel is placed in a freely rotatable condition wherein same engages with the minute wheel 11.
  • the setting lever spring 17 is restored to the depth of the concave portion 17c due to its elasticity.
  • the setting wheel lever assembly 1 is not restored-to its preceding position and instead is retained in the position where it is pressed by the setting lever spring 17 because the setting pin 1a on the setting wheel lever assembly 1 is engaged with the guide-aperture 2a.
  • the clutch lever 18 is further pivoted in the clockwise direction by the projecting portion 2fof the setting lever 2 so that the clutch wheel 10 again engages with the setting wheel 12. In this way, the hand setting operation can be carried out.
  • the clutch wheel 10 is engaged with the setting wheel 12 at a time period later than the setting wheel 12 is engaged with the minute wheel 11. Accordingly, the setting wheel 12 is in a freely rotatable condition when it engages with the minute wheel 11. It is to be noted, in this case, that the day-date correcting wheel assembly 7 is rotated in response to rotation of the setting wheel 12, but the movement of the swing lever 14 due to pivotal movement of the lever assembly 1 is limited by means of the banking pin 22 on the one hand, and limited so as not to swing by means of the clutch lever 18 on the other hand.
  • the day-and-date device comprises a setting wheel lever assembly 1 operative by a setting lever 2, a setting wheel 12 rotatably mounted on the setting wheel lever assembly and disposed between a clutch wheel 10 and a minute wheel 11, a setting lever spring provided with at least two concave portions 17b and 170 for engaging with a dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 to limit the degree of pivotal movement of the setting lever 2, a projecting portion 1g provided on the setting wheel lever assembly 1 for engaging with the setting lever spring when the dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 slides over the setting lever spring 17 from one concave portion to the other, a guide aperture provided in the setting lever 2 for guiding and limiting a pin of the setting wheel lever assembly l, and a projecting portion 2f on the setting lever 2 for acting upon the clutch lever 18 after rotation of the setting wheel lever assembly 1.
  • the device according to the present invention is constructed in such a manner that the setting wheel 12 engages with a minute wheel 11 in the freely rotatable condition while the clutch wheel engages with the setting wheel with a time lag when the winding stem is displaced in the hand-setting position. Accordingly, the setting wheel 12 can engage with or disengage from the minute wheel 11 without applying any rotational force thereto even if the setting wheel does not happen to properly engage with the minute wheel because the setting wheel is in the freely rotatable condition.
  • the dowel 2d of the setting lever 2 completely falls in any of the concave portions 17a to 17 without resting therebetween because the restoring force caused by the setting lever spring 17 is enhanced by the restoring force of the set ting wheel lever assembly 1 whereby the winding stem is accurately and properly positioned.
  • a rotatable winding stem mounted for manual axial movement to a first position wherein a day-and-date changing operation may be carried out and a second position wherein a handsetting operation may be carried out; rotatable dayand-date changing means operative when rotationally driven to effect a day change and a date change on the day-and-date display; rotatable hand-setting means operative when rotationally driven to effect setting of the watch hands; a rotatable setting wheel mounted for movement into engagement with said day-and-date changing means in response to axial movement of said winding stem to said first position and for movement into engagement with said hand-setting means in response to axial movement of said winding stem to said second position; clutching means for clutching said winding stem to said setting wheel when said winding stem is in said first position whereby rotation of said winding stem effects rotational driving of said day-anddate changing means and for
