Description

  

   <Desc/Clms Page number 1> 
 Pièce d'horlogerie à remontage automatique par masse tournant autour d'un axe L'objet de la présente invention est une pièce d'horlogerie à remontage automatique par masse tournant autour d'un axe. 



  Cette pièce est    caractérisée   par le fait que cette dernière comprend au moins une bille en matière lourde qui roule sur un chemin de roulement fixe et qui est engagée, de façon à pouvoir tourner sur elle-même, avec la périphérie d'un support rotatif, en matière légère, tournant autour de l'axe de la masse. 



  Le dessin ci-annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'objet de la présente invention ; la    fig.   1 en est une coupe axiale et la    fig.   2, une coupe par I1-11 de    fig.   1. 



  Cette forme d'exécution, constituée par une montre, comprend un fond-calotte 1, une fausse carrure 2 et une glace 3 dont le rebord est serré entre une saillie 4 du fond-calotte et une bague extérieure 5. 6 est le mouvement, monté sur le cadre    d'encageage   7, qui lui-même repose indirectement sur un épaulement 8 du    fond-      calotte.   



  La masse de remontage est constituée par une série de billes 9 en matière lourde, par exemple en un alliage de tungstène, tournant librement entre les doigts radiaux 10 d'un support 11 en forme de secteur, en une matière légère, par exemple en un alliage d'aluminium ; ce support    tourne   autour de l'axe 12 de la masse,    porté   par le fond, et présente un pignon 13 engrenant avec le premier mobile 14, porté par le mouvement du rouage du dispositif de remontage. 



  Les billes 9 sont engagées    dans   un couloir 15 dont le fond 15a, le couvercle 15b et la paroi 15c forment des chemins de roulement pour les billes    suivant   la position de la montre. 



  Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à ce qui est représenté au dessin. En particulier, la boite pourrait présenter un fond distinct de la carrure. Quant à l'extrémité supérieure de l'axe 12, elle pourrait être libre, au lieu de pénétrer dans le mouvement, l'ébat en hauteur du support 11 pouvant alors être réglé par exemple par une clavette fixée à ladite extrémité. 



  La masse, au lieu de remonter le ressort moteur du mouvement, pourrait aussi remonter le ressort moteur de la sonnerie d'un réveil ou les deux ressorts à la fois.

 Timepiece with automatic winding by mass rotating around an axis The object of the present invention is a timepiece with automatic winding by mass rotating around an axis.



  This part is characterized by the fact that the latter comprises at least one ball made of heavy material which rolls on a fixed raceway and which is engaged, so as to be able to turn on itself, with the periphery of a rotary support, in light material, rotating around the axis of the mass.



  The accompanying drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the object of the present invention; fig. 1 is an axial section thereof and FIG. 2, a section through I1-11 of fig. 1.



  This embodiment, consisting of a watch, comprises a base-cap 1, a false middle part 2 and a crystal 3 whose rim is clamped between a projection 4 of the base-cap and an outer ring 5. 6 is the movement, mounted on the casing frame 7, which itself rests indirectly on a shoulder 8 of the bottom-cap.



  The winding mass consists of a series of balls 9 made of heavy material, for example of a tungsten alloy, rotating freely between the radial fingers 10 of a support 11 in the form of a sector, of a light material, for example of a aluminum alloy ; this support rotates around the axis 12 of the mass, carried by the bottom, and has a pinion 13 meshing with the first mobile 14, carried by the movement of the cog of the winding device.



  The balls 9 are engaged in a passage 15 whose bottom 15a, the cover 15b and the wall 15c form raceways for the balls according to the position of the watch.



  Of course, the invention is not limited to what is shown in the drawing. In particular, the case could have a bottom distinct from the middle part. As for the upper end of the axis 12, it could be free, instead of entering the movement, the height of the support 11 can then be adjusted for example by a key fixed to said end.



  The mass, instead of winding the mainspring of the movement, could also wind the mainspring of the alarm clock or both springs at the same time.
