Description

  

  Procédé de perçage d'une pierre d'horlogerie    Les matières autolubrifiantes, par exemple     frit-          tées,    sont     particulièrement        difficiles    à travailler. L'usi  nage au moyen de     forets    cylindriques et     d'abrasifs,     en particulier de poudre de diamant, n'est pas possi  ble ; en     effet,    le diamant     s'incruste    dans la matière  en raison des qualités autolubrifiantes de cette der  nière et provoque par la suite une usure intolérable  des pivots.  



  En outre, le perçage de trous de faible diamètre  est très difficile au moyen des mèches habituelles en  raison de leur fragilité, de leur usure rapide et de la  grande difficulté à les utiliser .à des hautes     vitesses     de coupe.  



  On     connaît    d'autre part     différents    procédés de  perçage selon lesquels on ébauche un trou avec la  pointe d'une mèche de plus grand diamètre que ce  trou pour le     terminer    avec une tige cylindrique. On  a d'ailleurs également eu l'idée d'attaquer une même  pièce par ses deux faces de manière à     accélérer    le  processus de perçage.  



  Par contre on n'a jamais mis au point un procé  dé combinant certains de ces éléments .connus de  manière à satisfaire aux exigences     particulières    du  perçage de pierres d'horlogerie en matière     autolubri-          fiante.     



  La présente invention a précisément pour objet  un procédé de ce genre, qui est caractérisé par le fait  que l'on attaque les deux côtés de la pierre au moyen  d'une mèche de     diamètre    plus élevé que celui du trou  à forer,     dont    la pointe, en forme de     pyramide,    a une  ouverture d'environ     9011,    que l'on     interrompt    ce per  çage peu après que la profondeur du trou ait dépas  sé la     demi-épaisseur    de la pierre et que l'on termine  le trou     ainsi    ébauché en élargissant sa partie centrale  au moyen d'une tige cylindrique droite.

      Le     dessin        annexé    représente un     exemple    de     mise     en     aeuvre    du     procédé    selon l'invention.  



  Les     fig.    1 à 4 sont des coupes d'une pierre d'hor  logerie illustrant les     différents    stades de son perçage.  La     fig.    5 est une vue en perspective de la mèche  représentée aux     fig.    1 et 2.  



  Au     dessin,    1 représente une pierre en matière       autolubrifiante.     



  Cette pierre est d'abord attaquée par sa face su  périeure au moyen de la pointe d'une mèche 2, en  acier dur par exemple, -que l'on fait pénétrer dans  sa masse jusqu'au     moment    où elle a     pratiqué    un lo  gement conique 3 de profondeur plus     grande    que la  demi-épaisseur de la pierre. On retire alors la mèche  et attaque la partie     inférieure    de la pierre jusqu'au  moment où la pointe de cette mèche débouche dans  la creusure 3     préalablement    forée.     On    obtient alors  un trou présentant la forme de deux cônes (3     et    4) se       rejoignant    par leur pointe.

   Ce trou est alors terminé  par alésage de sa partie centrale au moyen d'une  mèche constituée par -un fil cylindrique 5 qui pour  rait être en acier.     Enfin    la pierre est façonnée d'après  les procédés habituels.  



  La mèche représentée en     fig.    1, 2 et 5 est d'un  diamètre plus élevé que celui du trou qu'elle est des  tinée à percer ce qui lui permet d'être d'une rigidité  excellente et d'être utilisée à des vitesses de coupe  élevées. Sa pointe qui seule travaille a la forme  générale d'une     pyramide    droite,     d'ouverture    de     90      environ     et    présentant trois arêtes. Ces arêtes sont       suffisammént    vives pour attaquer la matière     autolu-          brifiante    ; leur ouverture est     suffisamment    grande  pour offrir une excellente résistance à l'usure.

   Bien  entendu l'usage     d'abrasifs    est superflu. L'alésage du  trou au moyen d'un fil constitue en outre une opéra  tion particulièrement aisée et bon marché à réaliser.      Bien entendu l'invention n'est pas     limitée    à ce  qui est décrit et représenté. En     particulier    on pourrait  attaquer simultanément les deux faces de la pierre au  moyen de deux forets     différents.  



  Method for drilling a timepiece Self-lubricating materials, for example fried, are particularly difficult to work with. Machining by means of cylindrical drills and abrasives, in particular diamond powder, is not possible; in fact, the diamond becomes encrusted in the material due to the self-lubricating qualities of the latter and subsequently causes intolerable wear of the pivots.



  Furthermore, the drilling of small diameter holes is very difficult with the usual drill bits because of their brittleness, rapid wear and great difficulty in using them at high cutting speeds.



  On the other hand, various drilling methods are known according to which a hole is blanked with the tip of a drill bit of larger diameter than this hole in order to terminate it with a cylindrical rod. We also had the idea of attacking the same part by its two sides in order to accelerate the drilling process.



  On the other hand, a process has never been developed which combines some of these known elements so as to meet the particular requirements for drilling clock stones in self-lubricating material.



  The object of the present invention is precisely a method of this type, which is characterized by the fact that the two sides of the stone are attacked by means of a drill bit of greater diameter than that of the hole to be drilled, the tip of which , pyramid-shaped, has an opening of about 9011, that this drilling is interrupted shortly after the depth of the hole has exceeded the half-thickness of the stone and that the hole thus roughed is completed by widening its central part by means of a straight cylindrical rod.

      The appended drawing represents an example of implementation of the method according to the invention.



  Figs. 1 to 4 are cross sections of a clockwork stone illustrating the different stages of its drilling. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the drill bit shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.



  In the drawing, 1 represents a stone made of self-lubricating material.



  This stone is first attacked by its upper face by means of the point of a bit 2, made of hard steel for example, which is made to penetrate into its mass until the moment when it has made a housing. conical 3 of greater depth than the half-thickness of the stone. The bit is then removed and the lower part of the stone is attacked until the point of this bit opens into the previously drilled recess 3. A hole is then obtained having the shape of two cones (3 and 4) joining at their point.

   This hole is then completed by boring its central part by means of a drill bit consisting of a cylindrical wire 5 which could be made of steel. Finally the stone is shaped according to the usual procedures.



  The wick shown in FIG. 1, 2 and 5 is of a larger diameter than that of the hole it is tinée to drill which allows it to be of excellent rigidity and to be used at high cutting speeds. Its point, which alone works, has the general shape of a straight pyramid, opening around 90 and presenting three ridges. These ridges are sharp enough to attack the self-lubricating material; their opening is large enough to offer excellent resistance to wear.

   Of course the use of abrasives is superfluous. Boring the hole by means of a wire is also a particularly easy and inexpensive operation to carry out. Of course, the invention is not limited to what is described and shown. In particular, the two faces of the stone could be attacked simultaneously by means of two different drills.
