 Mécanisme de mise à l'heure pour pièces d'horlogerie On sait que ces mécanismes, munis d'une bascule, sont plus simples à fabriquer que ceux à pignon coulant ; mais    ils   présentent le défaut suivant: lorsque celui des pignons de la bascule qui    commande   la roue de minuterie va s'engager avec celle-ci, la dent de ce pignon, qui doit venir en prise avec cette roue, ne tombe pas immédiatement dans son    entre-      dent   mais vient en contact avec une des dents limitant ce dernier ; ceci produit une oscillation de la roue de minuterie, antérieure à son déplacement volontaire, et, en conséquence, une oscillation correspondante de l'aiguille indicatrice du temps. 



  La présente invention a pour but    d'éliminer   ce défaut, ce qui permettra    d'utiliser   les mécanismes de mise à l'heure à bascule, même pour des montres de bonne qualité. 



  On sait que l'on emploie déjà, dans les chronographes, deux roues, l'une menante et l'autre menée, à dents triangulaires, le nombre des dents de la roue menante étant un multiple de celui des dents de la roue menée ; on évite ainsi, pour l'aiguille de chronographe, l'inconvénient susmentionné.

   Mais cette disposition n'est pas applicable, sans autre, à la    mise   à l'heure d'une montre parce que, dans celle-ci, la roue de    minuterie,   qui vient en prise lors de la mise à l'heure avec le renvoi de la bascule, est une roue à dents    épicycldïdales.   L'idée selon l'invention est de prévoir un mobile formé de deux pignons superposés dont l'un, destiné à venir en prise avec la roue de minuterie, est à dents    épicycloïdales,   alors que l'autre, destiné à être    commandé   par le renvoi susmentionné, est, ainsi que celui-ci, à dents pointues, le nombre des dents de ce dernier pignon étant un multiple de celui du renvoi.

   Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'objet de la présente invention les    fig.   1 et 2 en sont des vues en plan dans deux positions    différentes   de fonctionnement. 



  Dans ces figures, 1 est la tige de remontage et de mise à l'heure ; elle présente un carré servant à    entraîner   la roue 2. 3 est la bascule pivotée en A, portant la roue 4    commandée   par la roue 2 et les deux pignons 5 et 6    commandés   par la roue 4. 7 est le rochet de    barillet   et 8, la roue de minuterie. 9 est la tirette pouvant tourner autour de l'arbre 10, présentant un plot 11 engagé dans une rainure 12 de la tige de remontage et agissant sur la bascule 3 par le moyen du rouleau 13. Cette tirette 9 est placée sous l'action du ressort 14 qui la maintient dans ses deux positions de fonctionnement. 



  15 est un    mobile   comprenant une roue dentée 15a qui engrène    avec   la roue de minuterie 8 et qui est fixée à une roue    dentée   15b destinée à    venir   en prise avec le pignon 6.    Celui-ci   et la roue dentée 15b ont des dents    pointues,   le nombre de    celles-ci      étant,   pour la roue 15b, 3 fois plus grand que pour le pignon 6. 



  La    fig.   1 montre les pièces dans la position de remontage, la tige de remontage et sa position    infé-      rieure   et la    tirette   9    maintiennent   la bascule 4 dans une position telle que le pignon 5 engrène avec le rochet 7, ce qui permet d'effectuer le remontage. 



  Lorsque l'on tire la tige de remontage vers l'extérieur, les pièces prennent la position montrée en    fig.   2 : le pignon 5 s'est écarté du rochet de barillet 7, par contre le pignon 6 est venu en    prise   avec la roue 15b. 



  On remarquera que si la bascule devait osciller de façon à amener la dent 5a du pignon 5 dans l'en- 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

    tre-dent   7a du rochet 7, elle ne prendrait pas immédiatement sa position, mais commencerait par appuyer sur la dent 7b ce qui, si l'on avait une roue    libre   à la place du rochet de barillet, produirait un léger    déplacement   de cette roue. 



  Ce phénomène se produirait lors de la    mise   à l'heure, si les dents du    pignon   6 étaient en ogive et s'engageaient directement dans celles de la roue de    minuterie   8. Ce défaut est pratiquement    supprimé   du fait que la dent du pignon 6 et de la roue 15b sont pointues et que    celles   de cette roue sont plus nombreuses que    celles   du pignon,    ce   qui diminue encore leur largeur.

 Time-setting mechanism for timepieces We know that these mechanisms, fitted with a rocker, are simpler to manufacture than those with a sliding pinion; but they have the following defect: when that of the pinions of the rocker which controls the timer wheel will engage with the latter, the tooth of this pinion, which must come into engagement with this wheel, does not immediately fall into its interferes but comes into contact with one of the teeth limiting the latter; this produces an oscillation of the timer wheel, prior to its intentional movement, and, consequently, a corresponding oscillation of the time indicating hand.



  The object of the present invention is to eliminate this defect, which will make it possible to use the toggle time-setting mechanisms, even for watches of good quality.



  We know that we already use, in chronographs, two wheels, one driving and the other driven, with triangular teeth, the number of teeth of the driving wheel being a multiple of that of the teeth of the driven wheel; the aforementioned drawback is thus avoided for the chronograph hand.

   But this provision is not applicable, without further, to the time setting of a watch because, in this one, the timer wheel, which engages during the time setting with the return of the rocker, is a wheel with epicyclic teeth. The idea according to the invention is to provide a mobile formed by two superimposed pinions, one of which, intended to come into engagement with the timing wheel, has epicyclic teeth, while the other, intended to be controlled by the aforementioned reference, is, like this one, with pointed teeth, the number of teeth of the latter pinion being a multiple of that of the reference.

   The accompanying drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the object of the present invention, FIGS. 1 and 2 are plan views in two different operating positions.



  In these figures, 1 is the winding and time-setting stem; it has a square used to drive wheel 2. 3 is the rocker pivoted at A, carrying wheel 4 controlled by wheel 2 and the two pinions 5 and 6 controlled by wheel 4. 7 is the barrel ratchet and 8, the timer wheel. 9 is the zipper which can turn around the shaft 10, having a stud 11 engaged in a groove 12 of the winding rod and acting on the lever 3 by means of the roller 13. This zipper 9 is placed under the action of the spring 14 which maintains it in its two operating positions.



  15 is a mobile comprising a toothed wheel 15a which meshes with the timer wheel 8 and which is fixed to a toothed wheel 15b intended to engage with the pinion 6. The latter and the toothed wheel 15b have pointed teeth, the many of these being, for the wheel 15b, 3 times greater than for the pinion 6.



  Fig. 1 shows the parts in the reassembly position, the winding rod and its lower position and the pull tab 9 keep the rocker 4 in a position such that the pinion 5 meshes with the ratchet 7, which allows reassembly .



  When the winding rod is pulled outwards, the parts assume the position shown in fig. 2: pinion 5 has moved away from barrel ratchet 7, on the other hand pinion 6 has come into engagement with wheel 15b.



  It will be noted that if the rocker were to oscillate so as to bring the tooth 5a of the pinion 5 into the

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

    tre-tooth 7a of ratchet 7, it would not immediately take its position, but would start by pressing on tooth 7b which, if we had a freewheel instead of the barrel ratchet, would produce a slight displacement of this wheel .



  This phenomenon would occur when setting the time, if the teeth of pinion 6 were pointed and engaged directly with those of timing wheel 8. This defect is practically eliminated because the tooth of pinion 6 and of the wheel 15b are pointed and that those of this wheel are more numerous than those of the pinion, which further reduces their width.
