Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mechanical timepiece provided with a tourbillon.
- a mobile cage In a tourbillon, a mobile cage is driven by the barrel, through the gear train, at the rate of one revolution per minute. This cage carries, in its center, the balance-spring.
- the escape wheel is driven by a pinion off-center with respect to the axis of the cage, called the satellite pinion, which meshes with a fixed wheel. By turning, the cage thus cancels the movement deviations of the watch.
- the tourbillon watches proposed so far generally include a date display using a small hand which, from an aesthetic point of view, competes with the tourbillon, or occupies a place that could be assigned to the display of more upscale functions (power reserve, equation of time, temperature, chronograph, ). It is, moreover, difficult to read the calendar of the month when it is displayed by means of a hand, as is the case for the “Automatic tourbillon with perpetual calendar” watch marketed by the Blancpain company.
- Audemars Piguet has developed a watch, called “Tourbillon Grande Date Jules Audemars”, which is equipped with a date display in a counter.
- the solution chosen implies that the display is made by means of two discs, one of the tens, the other of the units, which requires significant energy and occupies a large surface of the dial, preventing the display of other information. .
- the object of the present invention is to propose a tourbillon timepiece which can provide an indication of the date, or of any other value desired by the manufacturer, without occupying, on the dial, an excessively large place detrimental to the tourbillon or taking up the place of more prestigious functions.
- the invention relates to a timepiece of the type comprising a plate and, mounted thereon, a time base formed by a vortex comprising a moving mobile cage appearing in an opening made in its dial , and means for displaying time information controlled from the time base.
- said display means comprise a ring movable in rotation appearing in the opening of the dial around the cage of the tourbillon, coaxially with it, and the drive members of this ring.
- the timepiece according to the invention also has the following main characteristics: the tourbillon cage is mounted so that it can rotate between the plate and an additional plate; this plate includes cutouts revealing the vortex; the display ring is mounted movable in rotation inside a groove made in the additional plate; this ring is associated with a toothed wheel which is concentric with it and cooperates with the drive means; this toothed wheel also cooperates with means for manual adjustment of the position of the display ring; the ring is held in place by at least one plate fixed to the additional plate and projecting into its groove to be inserted between the ring and its toothed wheel; and the display ring is a date indicator.
- FIG. 1 and 2 show a perspective view from above, part of the timepiece according to the invention, respectively with and without its dial;
- FIG. 3 is sectional views, respectively along III-III, IV-IV and V-V, of a part of the movement intended to equip this timepiece.
- the timepiece illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is intended to display the hour, minute, second and calendar. It comprises, for this purpose, a basic movement 10 and an additional plate 12, fixed on the basic movement 10 and intended to carry certain components, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
- a dial 14 fixed on the base movement 10 and provided with a circular opening 14a, serves as a reference for displaying the time information.
- the progress of this part is regulated by a tourbillon 16, visible through the opening 14a and pivotally mounted on the basic movement 10 and the plate 12.
- the tourbillon 16 comprises a tigeron 18 intended to carry a seconds hand.
- the display of the hour and the minute is carried out, in a conventional manner, by means of hands which do not appear in the drawing, carried respectively by mobiles 20 and 22, coaxial and arranged in the center of the movement 10.
- the movement 10 comprises a frame, formed of a plate 24 and bridges which are not visible in the drawing.
- This frame serves as a support for the moving parts of the movement 10, more particularly and in a conventional manner, with the barrel, the gear train and the time-setting mechanism.
- the frame can also carry the automatic winding mechanism.
- the additional plate 12 allows the addition of mechanisms ensuring complementary functions, in this case a date display. It has a projection 26 taking place in the opening 14a of the dial. This plate is fixed and positioned on the plate 14 by means not shown, for example feet and screws, on which are arranged the members of the complementary mechanisms.
- the tourbillon 16 comprises a cage 28, pivotally mounted around an axis A-A, on the one hand, on a bridge secured to the plate 24 and, on the other hand, on the plate 12.
- the cage On the dial side, the cage carries a plate 30 carrying the tigeron 18.
- the protrusion 26 is pierced with a hole in which is driven a stone 32 serving as a bearing for the tigeron 18.
- a balance-spring 34 is mounted in the cage 28, pivoting around the same axis AA.
- the projection 26 of the additional plate 12 has, around the stone 32, cutouts 36 (visible in FIGS. 1 and 2) making it possible to see the vortex 16.
- the plate 12 further comprises an annular groove 38, d axis AA, open on the dial side and serving as a housing for a date ring 40 on which the numbers 1 to 31 are shown.
- This ring 40 has, towards the inside, a ring 42 on which is driven a crown 44 to thirty and a tooth appearing in the opening 14a of the dial.
- a central wheel 48 driven at the rate of one revolution in twelve hours, meshes with an intermediate wheel 50 which meshes, itself, with a control wheel 52 associated with a spring 54 ending with a drive hook 56 cooperating with the crown 44.
- the wheels 50 and 52 make one revolution per day.
- a date mechanism of the conventional type, is produced, by means of which, every day at midnight, the hook 56, moved by the spring 54 which has been previously tightened, advances the crown 44 by one step and therefore the date ring 40 surrounding the tourbillon 16.
- FIGS. 2 and 4 show how the setting of the ring 40 is carried out on the correct date.
- a wheel 58 is linked, in a conventional manner, with the setting gear train. manual time of the watch by means of a control rod. This wheel meshes with a mobile 60 provided with six wings cooperating with the crown 44.
- the rotation of the wheel 58 using the control rod allows the mobile 60 to rotate the date ring 40 to put it in the position where it displays the date desired by the user.
- FIGS. 2 and 5 in which appear, arranged substantially at 120 ° from one another, towards the outside of the part, two plates 62 fixed by a screw 64 on the plate 12. Each plate overflows, at its end, into the groove 38 to be inserted between the date ring 40 and its crown 44, which it thus holds in place.
- a tourbillon timepiece which can provide an indication of the date, or any other value desired by the skilled person, without occupying too much space on the dial.
