Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif horloger, notamment un mouvement horloger ou une pièce d'horlogerie, comportant au moins deux mécanismes, à savoir, un mécanisme de remontage et au moins un mécanisme de correction d'au moins un organe indicateur.The invention relates to a watch device, in particular a watch movement or a timepiece, comprising at least two mechanisms, namely, a winding mechanism and at least one correction mechanism of at least one indicator member.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

On connaît déjà des pièces d'horlogerie comportant un mécanisme de remontage et de correction d'organes indicateurs.Already known timepieces having a mechanism for winding and correction of indicator organs.

A titre d'exemple, la demande de brevet européen publiée sous le numéro EP 1 152 303 a pour objet une telle pièce d'horlogerie dans laquelle la tige de commande peut occuper trois positions axiales et porte un pignon coulant pourvu d'une denture arrière et d'une denture frontale.For example, the European patent application published under the number EP 1 152 303 a for object such a timepiece in which the control rod can occupy three axial positions and carries a sliding pinion provided with a rear teeth and a front toothing.

Dans la première des positions axiales, la tige de commande actionne le mécanisme de remontage par le biais de la denture arrière du pignon coulant.In the first of the axial positions, the control rod actuates the winding mechanism through the rear teeth of the sliding pinion.

Dans sa deuxième position axiale, la tige de commande entraîne le mécanisme de correction du quantième et du jour, également au moyen de la denture arrière du pignon coulant.In its second axial position, the control rod drives the correction mechanism of the date and the day, also by means of the rear teeth of the sliding pinion.

Dans sa troisième position axiale, la tige de commande actionne le mécanisme de correction de l'heure au moyen de la denture frontale du pignon coulant.In its third axial position, the control rod actuates the time correction mechanism by means of the front toothing of the sliding pinion.

Dans ce dispositif, le pignon de remontoir est monté libre en rotation sur la tige de commande. Chaque mécanisme est actionné par au moins un embrayage horizontal. La pièce d'horlogerie met en oeuvre autant de bascules qui sont disposées dans un plan parallèle à celui du bâti de la pièce d'horlogerie qu'il y a de mécanismes à actionner.In this device, the winding pinion is rotatably mounted on the control rod. Each mechanism is actuated by at least one horizontal clutch. The timepiece implements as many flip-flops which are disposed in a plane parallel to that of the frame of the timepiece that there are mechanisms to operate.

Ce dispositif permet de supprimer les risques de correction involontaire du quantième ou du jour de la semaine lors du passage de la première à la deuxième position axiale de la tige.This device eliminates the risk of involuntary correction of the date or the day of the week when passing from the first to the second axial position of the rod.

Cependant, il a pour inconvénient majeur qu'il laisse subsister le risque d'un blocage lors du passage de la première à la deuxième position axiale de la tige lorsque la chaîne de remontage est sous tension. De plus, il nécessite un nombre important de bascules et requiert une surface conséquente pour les disposer dans le plan de la pièce d'horlogerie.However, it has the major disadvantage that it leaves the risk of a blockage during the passage of the first to the second axial position of the rod when the winding chain is under tension. In addition, it requires a large number of flip-flops and requires a large surface to arrange them in the plane of the timepiece.

Le document CH 432389 a pour objet un mécanisme de remontage et de mise à l'heure qui est doté de deux dispositifs d'embrayage horizontal distincts. Le premier embrayage est dédié à la fonction de remontage, et le second est prévu pour commander la translation du pignon coulant de façon à activer ou désactiver la chaîne cinématique de mise à l'heure. A la différence du mécanisme divulgué au sein du document EP 1 152 303 , le pignon coulant n'est pas prévu pour venir en prise avec la chaîne de remontage par l'intermédiaire du pignon de remontoir. Chaque embrayage est doté d'une bascule au comportement bistable qui est disposée dans un plan parallèle à celui du bâti de la pièce d'horlogerie et qui est piloté directement par la tirette. Une première position de l'une ou l'autre des deux bascules correspond à une position d'activation de la fonction qui lui est associée tandis qu'une deuxième position correspond à une position de désactivation. Ainsi, il n'est pas possible d'adjoindre une troisième fonction de correction telle que le réglage d'une indication dérivée de l'heure sans mettre en place un dispositif d'embrayage additionnel. De plus, ce mécanisme requiert une surface dans le plan de la pièce d'horlogerie suffisamment conséquente pour y disposer plus d'une bascule.The document CH 432389 relates to a winding and setting mechanism which is provided with two separate horizontal clutch devices. The first clutch is dedicated to the winding function, and the second is provided to control the translation of the sliding pinion so as to activate or deactivate the kinematic chain of time setting. Unlike the mechanism disclosed in the document EP 1 152 303 , the sliding pinion is not intended to engage with the winding chain by means of the winding pinion. Each clutch is provided with a rocker with bistable behavior which is arranged in a plane parallel to that of the frame of the timepiece and which is controlled directly by the pull tab. A first position of one or other of the two latches corresponds to an activation position of the function associated with it while a second position corresponds to a deactivation position. Thus, it is not possible to add a third correction function such as setting an indication derived from the time without setting up an additional clutch device. In addition, this mechanism requires a surface in the plane of the timepiece sufficiently consistent to have more than one rocker.

Le document EP2012199 a trait à un mécanisme à deux positions. Celui-ci est prévu pour équiper une montre dotée d'un nombre important d'indications horaires à corriger. La première position est celle du remontage tandis que la deuxième position correspond au réglage de l'indication choisie par l'intermédiaire d'un organe sélecteur. Ce dispositif met en oeuvre un unique pignon qui est solidaire en rotation de la tige. Sa denture frontale est en prise avec les différentes chaînes de correction, tandis que sa denture de chant est liée cinématiquement à la chaîne de remontage. Ce pignon ne se déplace pas axialement, les risques d'arc-boutement et de blocage dus à la translation du pignon coulant sont donc annulés. L'activation de la chaîne de remontage se fait par le biais d'un embrayage vertical qui est piloté directement par la géométrie de la tige, tandis que le dispositif de sélection de l'indication à corriger met en oeuvre une came de sélection prévue pour piloter autant de bascules d'embrayage se déplaçant parallèlement au plan du bâti du mouvement qu'il y a d'indications à corriger. Un tel dispositif permet ainsi de pallier aux défauts fonctionnels précités. Toutefois, celui-ci nécessite un nombre conséquent de bascules, une surface dans le plan de la pièce d'horlogerie suffisamment conséquente pour y disposer ces bascules et requiert obligatoirement un organe annexe à la tige pour sélectionner l'indication à corriger.The document EP2012199 a relates to a two-position mechanism. It is intended to equip a watch with a large number of time indications to correct. The first position is that of reassembly while the second position corresponds to the setting of the selected indication via a selector member. This device implements a single pinion which is integral in rotation with the rod. Its front teeth are engaged with the different correction chains, while its edge teeth are kinematically linked to the winding chain. This pinion does not move axially, the risk of jamming and blocking due to the translation of the sliding pinion are canceled. Activation of the winding chain is done by means of a vertical clutch which is controlled directly by the geometry of the rod, while the selection device of the indication to be corrected implements a selection cam provided for control as many clutch rockers moving parallel to the plane of the movement frame that there are indications to correct. Such a device thus makes it possible to overcome the aforementioned functional defects. However, it requires a large number of flip-flops, a surface in the plane of the timepiece sufficiently large to have these flip-flops and necessarily requires an organ attached to the rod to select the indication to correct.

Exposé sommaire de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention a pour but essentiel de proposer une pièce d'horlogerie comportant au moins deux mécanismes, à savoir, un mécanisme de remontage et un mécanisme de correction d'au moins un organe indicateur et qui ne présente pas les inconvénients précités, tout en ayant une structure plus simple, plus compacte, plus rationnelle et composée d'un nombre plus restreint de pièces, et tout en ayant l'avantage de pouvoir y adjoindre au moins une deuxième fonction de correction d'au moins un organe indicateur sans bascule additionnelle.The essential object of the invention is to propose a timepiece comprising at least two mechanisms, namely, a winding mechanism and a mechanism for correcting at least one indicator organ and which does not have the aforementioned drawbacks, while having a simpler structure, more compact, more rational and composed of a smaller number of parts, and while having the advantage of being able to add at least a second correction function of at least one indicator member without additional latch .

Ce but est atteint par un dispositif horloger tel que défini dans la revendication indépendante 1.

An advantage of the invention is represented by the fact that a single and single rocker arranged in a plane parallel to that of the frame of the part of watchmaking is necessary for the actuation of the at least second mechanism.

Grâce à cette particularité, le passage de l'actionnement d'un mécanisme à l'actionnement d'un autre peut se faire sans risque de blocage.With this feature, the passage of the actuation of a mechanism to the actuation of another can be done without risk of blockage.

Exposé détaillé de l'inventionDetailed exposition of the invention

Un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif horloger, notamment un mouvement horloger ou une pièce d'horlogerie, comprend au moins deux mécanismes, à savoir, un mécanisme de remontage et au moins un mécanisme de correction d'au moins un organe indicateur.One embodiment of a watch device, in particular a watch movement or a timepiece, comprises at least two mechanisms, namely, a winding mechanism and at least one correction mechanism of at least one indicator member.

Dans la suite de l'exposé va être décrit un dispositif horloger comportant trois mécanismes, ces mécanismes étant tous les trois actionnables séparément par la tige de commande.In the remainder of the description will be described a clock device comprising three mechanisms, these mechanisms being all three separately operable by the control rod.

Bien entendu, l'homme du métier saura tirer de l'exposé qui suit les enseignements nécessaires à la réalisation d'un dispositif horloger selon l'invention ne comportant que deux mécanismes.Of course, a person skilled in the art will be able to draw from the following description the teachings necessary for producing a watch device according to the invention comprising only two mechanisms.

A titre d'exemple, les trois mécanismes précités peuvent être définis comme suit :

  • premier mécanisme : mécanisme de remontage,
  • deuxième mécanisme : mécanisme de correction d'au moins un organe indicateur, par exemple, un mécanisme de correction du quantième et du jour de la semaine, et
  • troisième mécanisme : second mécanisme de correction d'au moins un autre organe indicateur, par exemple, un mécanisme de réglage de l'heure.
By way of example, the three aforementioned mechanisms can be defined as follows:
  • first mechanism: winding mechanism,
  • second mechanism: mechanism for correcting at least one indicator organ, for example, a correction mechanism for the date and the day of the week, and
  • third mechanism: second mechanism for correcting at least one other indicating member, for example, a time setting mechanism.

Premier mécanisme : mécanisme de remontage First mechanism : winding mechanism

Ce mécanisme est actionné par un embrayage vertical tel que celui représenté sur la figure 1.This mechanism is actuated by a vertical clutch such as that shown on the figure 1 .

Cet embrayage vertical comprend un axe coulissant 10 disposé sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe de symétrie longitudinal de la tige de commande T, de manière à ce qu'il présente une extrémité axiale inférieure 100 en contact avec la tige de commande T.This vertical clutch comprises a sliding pin 10 disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the control rod T, so that it has a lower axial end 100 in contact with the control rod T.

Sur la figure 1, cette tige de commande T se trouve dans sa première position axiale. L'extrémité axiale inférieure 100 se situe alors dans un creux C formé par une diminution du diamètre de la tige de commande T.On the figure 1 this control rod T is in its first axial position. The lower axial end 100 is then in a hollow C formed by a decrease in the diameter of the control rod T.

Du côté de l'extrémité axiale supérieure 13 de l'axe coulissant 10 est montée solidairement une première roue de couronne 8 munie sur une face inférieure d'une denture Breguet 8b prévue pour engrener avec une denture Breguet 7b prévue sur une face supérieure d'une deuxième roue de couronne 7 montée libre en rotation autour de l'axe coulissant 10.On the side of the upper axial end 13 of the sliding pin 10 is integrally mounted a first crown wheel 8 provided on a lower face of a Breguet toothing 8b provided to mesh with a Breguet toothing 7b provided on an upper face of a second crown wheel 7 rotatably mounted about the sliding axis 10.

Cette deuxième roue de couronne 7 comporte également une denture de chant 7a sensiblement perpendiculaire à sa denture Breguet 7b et qui est continuellement en prise avec la denture frontale 5a d'un pignon de remontoir 5 monté sur la tige de commande T, solidaire en rotation de celle-ci et déplaçable axialement sur celle-ci mais fixe en translation par rapport au bâti du dispositif horloger, grâce à sa section transversale non circulaire qui coopère avec la section transversale non circulaire d'un tronçon Z de la tige de commande T.This second crown wheel 7 also comprises a toothing 7a substantially perpendicular to its teeth Breguet 7b and which is continuously engaged with the front teeth 5a of a winding pinion 5 mounted on the control rod T, integral in rotation with it and axially movable on it but fixed in translation relative to the frame of the watch device, thanks to its non-circular cross section which cooperates with the non-circular cross section of a section Z of the control rod T.

La première roue de couronne 8 est en liaison avec un mécanisme de remontage classique, tel que celui représenté à la figure 8, que l'homme du métier connaît bien et qui n'a donc pas besoin d'être décrit ici en détail.The first crown wheel 8 is connected to a conventional winding mechanism, such as that shown in FIG. figure 8 that the person skilled in the art knows well and therefore does not need to be described here in detail.

Un ressort de rappel 9 est disposé à l'extrémité axiale supérieure 13 de l'axe coulissant 10 de façon à pousser celui-ci vers la tige de commande T et à presser ainsi la première roue de couronne 8 vers la deuxième roue de couronne 7.A return spring 9 is disposed at the upper axial end 13 of the sliding pin 10 so as to push it towards the control rod T and thus to press the first crown wheel 8 towards the second crown wheel 7 .

Le creux C de la tige de commande T est délimité sur l'un de ses côtés par une surface inclinée ou tronconique 12 permettant, lorsque la tige de commande T est tirée dans le sens F vers l'extérieur du boîtier de la pièce d'horlogerie, à l'axe coulissant 10 de se déplacer dans un sens l'éloignant de la tige de commande T, à l'encontre de la force du ressort de rappel 9.The hollow C of the control rod T is delimited on one of its sides by an inclined or frustoconical surface 12 allowing, when the control rod T is pulled in the direction F towards the outside of the housing of the workpiece. clockwise, to the sliding axis 10 to move in a direction away from the control rod T, against the force of the return spring 9.

Cette situation d'éloignement correspond à la deuxième position de la tige de commande T, laquelle est représentée sur la figure 2.This remote situation corresponds to the second position of the control rod T, which is represented on the figure 2 .

On peut voir sur cette figure 2 que l'extrémité axiale inférieure 100 de l'axe coulissant 10 est maintenant située sur un tronçon Tr de diamètre plus important de la tige de commande T. On peut voir aussi que la première roue de couronne 8 et la deuxième roue de couronne 7 ne sont plus en prise l'une avec l'autre.We can see on this figure 2 that the lower axial end 100 of the sliding pin 10 is now located on a larger diameter Tr section of the control rod T. It can also be seen that the first crown wheel 8 and the second crown wheel 7 do not are more in touch with each other.

Ceci signifie que si l'on tourne la tige de commande T, le pignon de remontoir 5 et la première roue de couronne 7 tournent également, mais la deuxième roue de couronne 8 n'est plus entraînée et le mécanisme de remontage ne l'est plus non plus.This means that if we turn the control rod T, the winding pinion 5 and the first crown wheel 7 also rotate, but the second crown wheel 8 is no longer driven and the winding mechanism is not driven anymore. no more.

Deuxième mécanisme : mécanisme de réglage du quantième et du jour de la semaineSecond mechanism: mechanism for setting the date and the day of the week

Ce mécanisme est actionné lorsque la tige de commande se trouve dans sa deuxième position. Il est donc visible sur la figure 2.This mechanism is actuated when the control rod is in its second position. It is therefore visible on the figure 2 .

Sur cette figure, on peut voir un pignon coulant 6 déplaçable axialement sur une partie de la tige de commande T et comportant, au niveau d'une même extrémité axiale, à la fois une denture frontale 6a et une denture de chant 6b.In this figure, we can see a sliding pinion 6 axially displaceable on a portion of the control rod T and having, at the same axial end, both a front toothing 6a and a toothing 6b.

D'un côté de la pièce d'horlogerie opposé à celui où se situe l'axe coulissant 10 est disposée une roue de renvoi 11 dont l'axe de rotation est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de symétrie longitudinal de l'axe coulissant 10. Cette roue de renvoi 11 présente une denture frontale 11b prévue pour s'engrener avec la denture de chant 6b du pignon coulant 6. Etant donné que ce dernier est solidaire en rotation de la tige de commande T, une rotation de celle-ci peut donc entraîner en rotation la roue de renvoi 11.On one side of the timepiece opposite to that where the sliding axis 10 is located is a return wheel 11 whose axis of rotation is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the sliding axis 10 This deflection wheel 11 has a front toothing 11b intended to mesh with the edge toothing 6b of the sliding pinion 6. Since this latter is integral in rotation with the control rod T, a rotation thereof can therefore rotate the return wheel 11.

Comme cette roue de renvoi 11 est également pourvue d'une denture de chant 11a, elle peut à son tour entraîner en rotation d'autres roues, en particulier celles d'un mécanisme de correction classique prévu pour le réglage d'une ou plusieurs indications horaires, que l'homme du métier connaît bien et qui n'a donc pas besoin d'être décrit ici en détail. Par exemple, il peut s'agir d'un dispositif de correction du quantième et du jour de la semaine, comme cela est représenté sur les figures 3, 4 et 5.As this idler wheel 11 is also provided with a set of teeth 11a, it can in turn rotate other wheels, in particular those of a conventional correction mechanism provided for the adjustment of one or more indications. hours, which the person skilled in the art knows well and therefore does not need to be described here in detail. For example, it may be a calendar and day of the week correction device, as shown on the Figures 3, 4 and 5 .

Comme on peut le voir en particulier sur la figure 3, la denture de chant 6b du pignon coulant 6 engrène avec la roue de renvoi 11 qui engrène à son tour avec une autre roue de renvoi 29, laquelle est en prise avec un mobile de correction 15.As can be seen in particular on the figure 3 , the toothed edge 6b of the sliding pinion 6 meshes with the idler wheel 11 which in turn meshes with another idler wheel 29, which is engaged with a correction wheel 15.

Ce mobile de correction 15 coopère avec un ressort de friction 16 de façon à se positionner selon le sens de rotation communiqué au renvoi 29 par la tige de commande T.This correction mobile 15 cooperates with a friction spring 16 so as to be positioned in the direction of rotation communicated to the reference 29 by the control rod T.

Sur l'exemple de la figure 4, le mobile de correction 15 est positionné afin d'entraîner de façon connue le disque des quantièmes Q par le biais d'une étoile 17.On the example of the figure 4 , the correction mobile 15 is positioned to drive in a known manner the Q date disk by means of a star 17.

Sur l'exemple de la figure 5, le mobile de correction 15 est positionné afin d'entraîner de façon connue le disque des jours de la semaine J par le biais d'une roue 18.On the example of the figure 5 , the correction mobile 15 is positioned to drive in a known manner the disk days of the week J by means of a wheel 18.

Si l'on se reporte à nouveau à la figure 2, on peut voir que le pignon coulant 6 présente, à une extrémité axiale opposée à celle où se situent les dentures 6a et 6b, une face d'extrémité 19.If we go back to the figure 2 it can be seen that the sliding pinion 6 has, at an opposite axial end to that where the teeth 6a and 6b are located, an end face 19.

Cette face d'extrémité 19 est prévue pour venir en butée contre une surface de butée S située du côté du tronçon Tr opposé à celui où se trouve la surface inclinée 12 (figures 1 et 2).This end face 19 is designed to abut against an abutment surface S situated on the side of the section Tr opposite that where the inclined surface 12 is located ( Figures 1 and 2 ).

Le tronçon Tr de la tige de commande T présente une longueur axiale prévue pour que, lorsque la tige se trouve dans sa première position axiale, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'axe coulissant 10 se trouve dans le creux C, la denture de chant 6b ne puisse pas engrener la denture 11b de la roue de renvoi 11 (figure 1).The section Tr of the control rod T has an axial length intended so that, when the rod is in its first axial position, that is to say when the sliding axis 10 is in the hollow C, the toothing edge 6b can not mesh the toothing 11b of the idler wheel 11 ( figure 1 ).

En revanche, la longueur axiale du tronçon Tr est telle que, lorsque la tige est positionnée en deuxième position axiale (figure 2) et que l'axe coulissant 10 se trouve en appui sur ce tronçon Tr, la surface de butée S, tout en servant toujours de butée à la face d'extrémité 19 du pignon 6, permet à la denture de chant 6b du pignon 6 d'engrener la denture 11b de la roue de renvoi 11 et maintient le pignon 6 dans cette situation d'engrènement.On the other hand, the axial length of the section Tr is such that, when the rod is positioned in the second axial position ( figure 2 ) and that the sliding axis 10 is supported on this section Tr, the abutment surface S, while still serving as a stop on the end face 19 of the pinion 6, allows the edge toothing 6b of the pinion 6 to mesh the toothing 11b of the idler wheel 11 and keeps the pinion 6 in this meshing situation.

Troisième mécanisme : réglage de l'heure Third mechanism : setting the time

Ce mécanisme est actionné lorsque la tige de commande T est tirée davantage vers l'extérieur et arrive dans sa troisième position. Ce cas est représenté sur la figure 6.This mechanism is actuated when the control rod T is pulled further outwards and arrives in its third position. This case is represented on the figure 6 .

L'extrémité axiale inférieure 100 de l'axe coulissant 10 se trouve alors toujours en appui sur le tronçon Tr, dans cet exemple, sensiblement à mi-chemin entre la surface tronconique 12 et la surface de butée S.The lower axial end 100 of the sliding axis 10 is then always resting on the section Tr, in this example, substantially halfway between the frustoconical surface 12 and the abutment surface S.

Pour des raisons qui seront expliquées ci-après, le pignon coulant 6 coulisse alors en s'éloignant du tronçon Tr de la tige de commande T pour se rapprocher de l'extrémité de celle-ci en direction du centre du mouvement. La denture frontale 6a du pignon coulant 6 engrène alors avec une roue de renvoi 20 en liaison avec un mécanisme de correction de l'heure classique que l'homme du métier connaît bien, partiellement visible sur la figure 7 et qui n'a pas besoin d'être décrit ici en détail.For reasons which will be explained below, the sliding pinion 6 then slides away from the section Tr of the control rod T to approach the end thereof towards the center of the movement. The front teeth 6a of the sliding pinion 6 then mesh with a return wheel 20 in connection with a conventional time correction mechanism that the skilled person knows well, partially visible on the figure 7 and that does not need to be described here in detail.

Passage d'un mécanisme à l'autreSwitching from one mechanism to another

Le passage de l'actionnement d'un mécanisme à l'actionnement d'un autre mécanisme est, certes, commandé par le déplacement axial de la tige de commande T.The passage from the actuation of a mechanism to the actuation of another mechanism is, of course, controlled by the axial displacement of the control rod T.

Cependant et plus précisément, il est commandé, d'une part, directement par le déplacement axial de la tige de commande T, et d'autre part, indirectement, par le biais d'un embrayage horizontal également commandé par le déplacement axial de la tige de commande T et qui, contrairement aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur, ne fait intervenir qu'une seule et unique bascule disposée dans un plan parallèle à celui du bâti du dispositif horloger. Ce mécanisme va maintenant être exposé en détail.However, and more specifically, it is controlled, on the one hand, directly by the axial displacement of the control rod T, and on the other hand, indirectly, by means of a horizontal clutch also controlled by the axial displacement of the control rod T and which, unlike the devices of the prior art, involves a single rocker disposed in a plane parallel to that of the frame of the watch device. This mechanism will now be explained in detail.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2, la tige de commande T présente une gorge 21.As can be seen on the Figures 1 and 2 , the control rod T has a groove 21.

De même, entre l'extrémité axiale du pignon coulant 6 où se situent les dentures 6a, 6b et l'extrémité axiale opposée où se trouve la face d'extrémité 19, est prévue une gorge 22.Similarly, between the axial end of the sliding pinion 6 where the teeth 6a, 6b are located and the opposite axial end where the end face 19 is located, there is provided a groove 22.

En se reportant maintenant à la figure 8, on voit que la gorge 21 est prévue pour recevoir l'extrémité 14 d'une tirette 1 pivotant autour d'un axe 23, comportant un doigt 27 et munie à une autre extrémité 28 d'un tenon 1c.Referring now to the figure 8 , we see that the groove 21 is provided to receive the end 14 of a pull rod 1 pivoting about an axis 23, having a finger 27 and provided at another end 28 with a pin 1c.

La gorge 22 du pignon coulant 6 est prévue pour recevoir l'extrémité 24 d'une bascule 3 pivotant autour d'un axe 3a, présentant un nez 3d et une partie 3' en forme en V, de manière à réaliser un ressort dont l'extrémité 3b est en appui contre une butée B du mouvement. Ce ressort fournit une force transmise à l'extrémité 24 puis au pignon coulant 6 afin de pousser celui-ci vers le tronçon Tr de la tige de commande T.The groove 22 of the sliding pinion 6 is provided to receive the end 24 of a rocker 3 pivoting about an axis 3a, having a nose 3d and a portion 3 'V-shaped, so as to achieve a spring of which end 3b bears against a stop B of the movement. This spring provides a force transmitted to the end 24 and the sliding pinion 6 to push it towards the section Tr of the control rod T.

Un sautoir 2 est fixé au mouvement. Il présente un bras élastique 25 terminé par un bec 26 comportant trois flancs 2a, 2b et 2c destinés à coopérer de façon connue avec le tenon 1c de la tirette 1.A jumper 2 is attached to the movement. It has an elastic arm 25 terminated by a spout 26 having three flanks 2a, 2b and 2c intended to cooperate in known manner with the pin 1c of the pull tab 1.

Lorsque la tige de commande T est dans sa première position représentée sur les figures 1 et 8, le flanc 2a appuie sur le tenon 1c de la tirette 1 et l'extrémité 14 de celle-ci s'oppose à la force exercée par la partie 3' de la bascule 3, transmise par l'extrémité 24 et plaquant la face d'extrémité 19 contre la surface de butée S de la tige de commande T. Le couple produit par le bras élastique 25, qui est sensiblement supérieur à celui produit par le ressort 3', assure le maintien de la tige de commande T dans sa première position axiale.When the control rod T is in its first position shown on the figures 1 and 8 , the flank 2a presses the post 1c of the pull tab 1 and the end 14 thereof opposes the force exerted by the part 3 'of the lever 3, transmitted by the end 24 and pressing the face of end 19 against the abutment surface S of the control rod T. The torque produced by the elastic arm 25, which is substantially greater than that produced by the spring 3 ', maintains the control rod T in its first axial position.

Dans cette position, le pignon coulant 6 n'embraie aucun rouage.In this position, the sliding pinion 6 does not include any cog.

Par conséquent, lorsque l'utilisateur fait tourner manuellement la tige de commande T, les dentures frontale 6a et de chant 6b du pignon coulant 6 tournent dans le vide, tandis que le pignon de remontoir 5 entraîne la première roue de couronne 8 par l'intermédiaire de la deuxième roue de couronne 7, actionnant ainsi uniquement le mécanisme de remontage.Therefore, when the user manually rotates the control rod T, the front teeth 6a and 6b of the sliding pinion 6 rotate in the vacuum, while the winding pinion 5 drives the first crown wheel 8 by the intermediate of the second crown wheel 7, thus actuating only the winding mechanism.

Lorsque la tige de commande T est tirée dans le sens F vers sa deuxième position représentée sur la figure 2, l'extrémité axiale inférieure 100 de l'axe coulissant 10 glisse sur la surface tronconique 12 et s'éloigne, séparant ainsi les première et deuxième roues de couronne 8,7 et débrayant de ce fait le mécanisme de remontage.When the control rod T is pulled in the direction F towards its second position represented on the figure 2 , the lower axial end 100 of the sliding pin 10 slides on the frustoconical surface 12 and moves away, thus separating the first and second ring wheels 8.7 and disengaging thereby the winding mechanism.

Parallèlement, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, la rotation de la tirette 1 permet au tenon 1c de venir en contact avec le flanc 2b du bec de sautoir 26. Ceci assure le maintien de la tige de commande T dans sa deuxième position axiale.At the same time, as can be seen on the figure 3 , the rotation of the pull tab 1 allows the pin 1c to come into contact with the side 2b of the jumping nose 26. This ensures the maintenance of the control rod T in its second axial position.

Par ailleurs, sous l'effet de la force exercée par la partie 3' formant ressort, le pignon coulant 6 est poussé dans le sens F et reste en butée contre la surface de butée S (cf. figure 2) . Ainsi, lorsque la tige de commande T est tirée dans le sens F vers sa deuxième position, la rotation de la bascule 3 et la translation du pignon 6 dans le sens F ne sont pas directement actionnées par la tirette 1, mais par la partie 3' formant ressort de la bascule 3. Un contact entre la tirette 1 et la bascule 3 n'est donc pas nécessaire lorsque la tige de commande T passe de sa première position vers sa deuxième position.Furthermore, under the effect of the force exerted by the spring portion 3 ', the sliding pinion 6 is pushed in the direction F and remains in abutment against the abutment surface S (cf. figure 2 ). Thus, when the control rod T is pulled in the direction F towards its second position, the rotation of the rocker 3 and the translation of the pinion 6 in the direction F are not directly actuated by the pull tab 1, but by the part 3 It is therefore not necessary for the control rod T to move from its first position to its second position.

Dans cette position, sa denture de chant 6b engrène avec la roue de renvoi 11. Lorsque l'utilisateur fait alors tourner manuellement la tige de commande T, la denture frontale 6a du pignon coulant tourne dans le vide, tandis que la denture de chant 6b entraîne la roue de renvoi 11, actionnant ainsi uniquement le mécanisme de réglage du quantième ou du jour de la semaine, selon le sens de rotation de la tige T, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3, 4 et 5.In this position, its edge teeth 6b meshes with the return wheel 11. When the user then manually rotate the control rod T, the front teeth 6a of the sliding pinion rotates in the vacuum, while the toothing 6b song drives the idler wheel 11, thus actuating only the calendar or day of the week adjustment mechanism, according to the direction of rotation of the rod T, as one can see it on the Figures 3, 4 and 5 .

Si l'utilisateur tire davantage la tige de commande T dans le sens F vers sa troisième position visible sur les figures 6 et 7, la rotation de la tirette 1 fait venir en contact son doigt 27 avec le nez 3d de la bascule 3 et fait ainsi basculer celle-ci à l'encontre de la force de sa partie ressort 3' et éloigne de ce fait le pignon coulant 6 de la surface de butée S de la tige de commande T et donc de la roue de renvoi 11, débrayant alors le mécanisme de réglage du quantième et du jour de la semaine. Ainsi, lorsque la tige de commande T est tirée dans le sens F vers sa troisième position, la rotation de la bascule 3 à l'encontre de la force de sa partie ressort 3' et la translation du pignon 6 vers le centre du mouvement sont directement actionnées par la tirette 1. Un contact entre la tirette 1 et la bascule 3 est donc nécessaire lorsque la tige de commande T passe de sa deuxième position vers sa troisième position.If the user further pulls the control rod T in the direction F towards its third position visible on the figures 6 and 7 , the rotation of the pull tab 1 causes its finger 27 to come into contact with the nose 3d of the rocker 3 and thus tilts the latter against the force of its spring portion 3 'and thus moves away the sliding pinion 6 of the abutment surface S of the control rod T and therefore of the idler wheel 11, disengaging then the mechanism of adjustment of the date and the day of the week. Thus, when the control rod T is pulled in the direction F towards its third position, the rotation of the rocker 3 against the force of its spring portion 3 'and the translation of the pinion 6 towards the center of the movement are directly actuated by the pull tab 1. A contact between the pull tab 1 and the rocker 3 is necessary when the control rod T moves from its second position to its third position.

Parallèlement, le tenon 1c de la tirette 1 vient en contact avec le flanc 2c du bec 26 du sautoir 2. Ceci assure le maintien de la tige de commande T dans sa troisième position axiale.Meanwhile, the pin 1c of the pull tab 1 comes into contact with the flank 2c of the spout 26 of the jumper 2. This ensures the maintenance of the control rod T in its third axial position.

Par ailleurs, la forme et le dimensionnement de la bascule 3 sont prévus pour que son extrémité 24 reçue dans la gorge 22 positionne précisément le pignon coulant 6 afin que sa denture frontale 6a vienne en prise avec la roue de renvoi 20 actionnant ainsi uniquement le mécanisme de réglage de l'heure que l'on voit partiellement sur la figure 7.Furthermore, the shape and dimensioning of the rocker 3 are provided so that its end 24 received in the groove 22 accurately positions the sliding pinion 6 so that its front teeth 6a engage with the return wheel 20 thus operating only the mechanism setting time that we see partially on the figure 7 .

Variantes de réalisationVariations of realization

Sur les figures 1, 2 et 6, la surface de butée S de la tige de commande T est une surface tronconique et la face d'extrémité 19 du pignon coulant 6 comporte deux parties, une partie perpendiculaire à l'axe de symétrie de la tige de commande T et une partie tronconique assortie à la surface S.On the Figures 1, 2 and 6 , the abutment surface S of the control rod T is a frustoconical surface and the end face 19 of the sliding pinion 6 comprises two parts, a portion perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the control rod T and a frustoconical portion. matching the surface S.

En variante, la surface de butée S pourrait être perpendiculaire à l'axe de symétrie longitudinal de la tige de commande T et la face d'extrémité 19 du pignon coulant 6 pourrait n'être constituée que d'une seule partie perpendiculaire à l'axe de symétrie de la tige de commande T.Alternatively, the abutment surface S could be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the control rod T and the end face 19 of the sliding pinion 6 could consist only of a single portion perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the control rod T.

Sur les figures 1, 2 et 6, le creux C de la tige de commande T est défini d'un côté par la surface tronconique 12 et de l'autre par une autre surface tronconique. Néanmoins cette dernière pourrait tout à fait être perpendiculaire à l'axe de symétrie de la tige de commande T car, contrairement à la surface tronconique 12, elle n'est pas destinée à être parcourue par l'extrémité axiale inférieure 100 de l'axe coulissant 10.On the Figures 1, 2 and 6 , the hollow C of the control rod T is defined on one side by the frustoconical surface 12 and on the other by another frustoconical surface. Nevertheless, the latter could quite be perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the control rod T because, unlike the frustoconical surface 12, it is not intended to be traversed by the lower axial end 100 of the axis. sliding 10.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, le sautoir 2 et le rouage de correction propre au deuxième mécanisme (roues 11, 29, mobile de correction 15, étoile 17, ressort de friction 16, disque des quantièmes Q, disque des jours de la semaine J, etc.) forment un module de correction qui peut être assemblé séparément sur le mouvement, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 9 et 10, lesquelles représentent, respectivement, le mouvement avant et après montage du module de correction.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the jumper 2 and the correction wheel specific to the second mechanism (wheels 11, 29, mobile correction 15, star 17, friction spring 16, date disc Q, day disc of the week J, etc.) form a correction module that can be assembled separately on the movement, as can be seen on the Figures 9 and 10 which represent, respectively, the movement before and after mounting of the correction module.

Selon une variante représentée sur les figures 11 (2ème position axiale de la tige) et 12 (3ème position axiale de la tige), l'entraînement du troisième mécanisme au moyen de la denture frontale 6a du pignon coulant 6 et de la roue de renvoi 20 est remplacé par un entraînement au moyen d'une roue de renvoi 30 qui se situe sensiblement sur le même plan que la roue de renvoi 11. Le pignon coulant 6 engrène alors également avec cette roue de renvoi 30 moyen de sa denture de chant 6b et la denture frontale, devenue inutile, a été supprimée. On peut bien sûr également envisager de conserver la denture frontale en vue d'actionner un quatrième mécanisme.According to a variant represented on the figures 11 (2nd axial position of the rod) and 12 (3 rd axial position of the rod), the drive of the third mechanism by means of the front teeth 6a of the sliding pinion 6 and the return wheel 20 is replaced by a drive by means of a return wheel 30 which is located substantially on the same plane as The idle gear 6 also meshes also with this intermediate idler wheel 30 of its edge toothing 6b and the frontal toothing, which has become useless, has been omitted. One can of course also consider keeping the front teeth to actuate a fourth mechanism.

Il est bien sûr également possible d'intervertir le deuxième et le troisième mécanismes.It is of course also possible to swap the second and third mechanisms.

Quelle que soit la variante ou le mode de réalisation envisagé, le passage de la position de remontage à celle de correction rapide se fait sans risque de blocage, et ce, même si la chaîne de remontage est sous tension.Whatever variant or embodiment envisaged, the transition from the winding position to the fast correction is done without risk of blockage, even if the winding chain is under tension.

Il n'y a également aucun risque de satellisation du rouage de correction qui pourrait être induit par la translation du pignon coulant lorsque la tige est tirée de la première à la deuxième position axiale et qui pourrait provoquer involontairement une correction.There is also no risk of oralisation of the corrective work train that could be induced by the translation of the sliding pinion when the rod is pulled from the first to the second axial position and which could unintentionally cause a correction.

Dans un premier temps, le pignon coulant 6 est positionné sous l'effet de la partie ressort 3' de la bascule 3 et la rotation de la tige de commande T permet d'établir définitivement l'engrènement entre la denture de chant 6b et la denture 11b de la roue de renvoi 11, indépendamment de la tirette 1.At first, the sliding pinion 6 is positioned under the effect of the spring portion 3 'of the rocker 3 and the rotation of the control rod T makes it possible to definitively establish the meshing between the edge toothing 6b and the gear 11b of the idler wheel 11, independently of the pull tab 1.

En aucun cas, la position du pignon coulant 6 n'est forcée par l'utilisateur lors du passage dans la deuxième position axiale de la tige de commande T. Ainsi, il n'y a pas de risque d'arc-boutement entre la denture 6b du pignon coulant 6 et la denture 11b de la roue de renvoi 11 et donc aucun risque de passer directement de la deuxième position à la troisième position axiale de la tige de commande T dans le cas où l'utilisateur est amené à vaincre un éventuel arc-bouttement.In no case, the position of the sliding pinion 6 is forced by the user during the passage in the second axial position of the control rod T. Thus, there is no risk of bracing between the tooth 6b of the sliding pinion 6 and the toothing 11b of the idler wheel 11 and therefore no risk of passing directly from the second position to the third axial position of the control rod T in the case where the user is led to overcome a possible arch-butt.

Ainsi, le dispositif horloger selon l'invention permet de résoudre les problèmes connus des mécanismes de l'état de la technique par le biais d'une seule bascule disposée dans le plan du mouvement. En outre, cette bascule présente l'avantage de convenir aussi bien à un mécanisme à deux positions qu'à un mécanisme à trois positions, ce qui permet une conception plus simple et plus rationnelle que celle des mécanismes connus de l'état de la technique. La différenciation entre ces mécanismes peut se faire lors de l'assemblage du mobile de correction et du bec de sautoir 26 qui définit les positions de la tige de commande T (cf. figures 9 et 10).Thus, the watch device according to the invention solves the known problems of the mechanisms of the state of the art through a single rocker disposed in the plane of movement. In addition, this rocker has the advantage of being suitable for both a two-position mechanism and a three-position mechanism, which allows a simpler and more rational design than the known mechanisms of the state of the art. . The differentiation between these mechanisms can be done during the assembly of the correction wheel and the jumper 26 which defines the positions of the control rod T (cf. Figures 9 and 10 ).

Un embrayage vertical comprend une première roue et une deuxième roue. Ces première et deuxième roues sont solidaires l'une de l'autre en rotation au moins lorsque l'embrayage est actif. Chacune de ces roues engrène respectivement avec une roue menante d'une chaîne cinématique et avec une roue menée de cette chaîne cinématique, au moins lorsque l'embrayage est actif. L'embrayage vertical comprend un élément mobile en translation selon l'axe de rotation des première et deuxième roues, entre une première position et une deuxième position. La première position correspond à la position embrayée et la deuxième position correspond à la position débrayée. Un élément de rappel rappelle l'élément mobile dans la première position ou dans la deuxième position. Dans la première position de l'élément mobile, les première et deuxième roues sont solidaires en rotation et les première et deuxième roues engrènent chacune respectivement avec la roue menante de la chaîne cinématique et avec la roue menée de la chaîne cinématique. Dans la deuxième position de l'élément mobile, les première et deuxième roues ne sont pas solidaires en rotation et/ou la première roue n'engrène pas avec la roue menante de la chaîne cinématique et/ou la deuxième roue n'engrène pas avec la roue menée de la chaîne cinématique.A vertical clutch includes a first wheel and a second wheel. These first and second wheels are integral with each other in rotation at least when the clutch is active. Each of these wheels meshes respectively with a driving wheel of a kinematic chain and with a driven wheel of this kinematic chain, at least when the clutch is active. The vertical clutch comprises an element movable in translation along the axis of rotation of the first and second wheels, between a first position and a second position. The first position corresponds to the engaged position and the second position corresponds to the disengaged position. A biasing member recalls the movable member in the first position or in the second position. In the first position of the movable element, the first and second wheels are integral in rotation and the first and second wheels meshing each respectively with the driving wheel. of the driveline and with the driven wheel of the driveline. In the second position of the movable element, the first and second wheels are not integral in rotation and / or the first wheel does not mesh with the driving wheel of the driveline and / or the second wheel does not mesh with the driven wheel of the driveline.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation d'embrayage, dans la deuxième position de l'élément mobile, les première et deuxième roues ne sont pas solidaires en rotation. Par exemple, ceci peut être réalisé grâce à des dents frontales des première et deuxième roues, ces dents étant définies de telle manière que lorsque les roues sont écartées l'une de l'autre, elles sont désolidarisées.In a first embodiment of clutch, in the second position of the movable element, the first and second wheels are not integral in rotation. For example, this can be achieved through front teeth of the first and second wheels, these teeth being defined in such a way that when the wheels are spaced apart from each other, they are separated.

Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation d'embrayage, dans la deuxième position de l'élément mobile, la première roue n'engrène pas avec la roue menante de la chaîne cinématique et/ou la deuxième roue n'engrène pas avec la roue menée de la chaîne cinématique. Par exemple, ceci peut être réalisé par un déplacement axial de l'une des roues ou des deux roues, ce déplacement étant tel qu'au moins l'une des roues n'engrène plus avec la roue menante ou avec la roue menée. Dans une variante, la première et la deuxième roue peuvent être confondues.In a second embodiment of clutch, in the second position of the movable element, the first wheel does not mesh with the driving wheel of the drive train and / or the second wheel does not mesh with the driven wheel of the kinematic chain. For example, this can be achieved by an axial displacement of one of the wheels or both wheels, this displacement being such that at least one of the wheels no longer meshes with the driving wheel or with the driven wheel. In a variant, the first and the second wheel can be confused.

Par « embrayage vertical », on entend donc un embrayage comprenant une roue et un élément mobile en translation selon l'axe de rotation de la roue, entre une première position et une deuxième position, la première position correspondant à la position embrayée et la deuxième position correspondant à la position débrayée. L'axe de rotation de la roue peut notamment être sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan du bâti de la pièce d'horlogerie. L'axe de rotation de la roue peut également être sensiblement parallèle au plan du bâti de la pièce d'horlogerie.By "vertical clutch" is meant a clutch comprising a wheel and a member movable in translation along the axis of rotation of the wheel, between a first position and a second position, the first position corresponding to the engaged position and the second position. position corresponding to the disengaged position. The axis of rotation of the wheel may in particular be substantially perpendicular to the shot of the timepiece frame. The axis of rotation of the wheel may also be substantially parallel to the plane of the frame of the timepiece.
