Abstract

This mechanism is intended for time setting of an analog mechanical display in a timepiece. It comprises a manually operable crowned stem (1) arranged to be toggled into at least two axial positions the active one of which is drawn-out relative to the neutral pushed-in position. The stem is provided with a toothed pinion (3) which meshes with an axially displaceable pinion (6). Such pinions are placed side-by-side and a mechanism including a trigger piece (9), a rocking lever (10) and a slider (21) slaves the axially displaceable pinion to the stem. The arrangement is compact and readily integrated into a thin timepiece.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de mise à l'heure pour pièce d'horlogerie pourvue d'un affichage mécanique analogique composé au moins d'une aiguille des heures et d'une aiguille des minutes, comprenant une tige à couronne actionnable manuellement et susceptible d'être crantée dans au moins deux positions axiales, un pignon déplaçable axialement et un mécanisme asservissant ledit pignon à la tige dans au moins deux positions relatives différentes selon les positions axiales prises par la tige.The present invention relates to a time-setting device for a timepiece provided with an analog mechanical display composed at least of an hour hand and a minute hand, comprising a manually actuated crown rod and capable of being notched in at least two axial positions, an axially displaceable pinion and a mechanism slaving said pinion to the rod in at least two different relative positions according to the axial positions taken by the rod.

Un tel dispositif est bien connu de l'état de la technique. Si l'on se reporte par exemple au brevet CH 611 759 et à la figure présentée, on trouve un mécanisme comportant une tige servant à la fois à remonter la montre et à mettre à l'heure les aiguilles. La fonction de mise à l'heure est assurée par un pignon déplaçable axialement qui est constitué par le pignon coulant qui peut coulisser sur un carré que porte la tige et venir ainsi, suivant la position axiale de la tige, engrener sur le renvoi de mise à l'heure. Le pignon est asservi à la tige par le mécanisme formé par la tirette et la bascule. On s'aperçoit que dans cette construction le diamètre du pignon coulant est nettement plus grand que le diamètre de la tige et que, par conséquent, ladite construction s'adapte mal à une montre de très faible épaisseur comme le veut la mode actuelle.Such a device is well known from the state of the art. If we refer for example to patent CH 611 759 and to the figure presented, there is a mechanism comprising a rod serving both to wind the watch and to set the hands on time. The time-setting function is ensured by an axially displaceable pinion which is constituted by the sliding pinion which can slide on a square carried by the rod and thus come, according to the axial position of the rod, to mesh on the setting reference on time. The pinion is slaved to the rod by the mechanism formed by the pull and the rocker. It can be seen that in this construction the diameter of the sliding pinion is significantly larger than the diameter of the rod and that, consequently, said construction does not adapt well to a watch of very small thickness as is the fashion today.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, on a proposé de monter le pignon coulant en bout de tige, ce qui permet d'obtenir pour ledit pignon un diamètre qui n'excède pas le diamètre de la tige. Cette construction cependant fait appel à des pièces difficiles à réaliser en pratique de même qu'elle conduit à un mécanisme très allongé, difficile à loger dans le mouvement.To remedy this drawback, it has been proposed to mount the sliding pinion at the end of the rod, which makes it possible to obtain for said pinion a diameter which does not exceed the diameter of the rod. This construction, however, calls for parts which are difficult to produce in practice, just as it leads to a very elongated mechanism which is difficult to accommodate in the movement.

Pour éviter les désavantages cités, la présente invention propose une construction nouvelle pourvue de moyens qui apparaissent dans les revendications.To avoid the cited disadvantages, the present invention provides a new construction provided with means which appear in the claims.

L'invention sera expliquée maintenant dans la description qui suit et à l'aide du dessin qui donne à titre d'exemple un mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel:

  • La fig. 1 est une vue en plan du dispositif de mise à l'heure selon l'invention dans laquelle la tige est présentée en position neutre enfoncée.
  • La fig. est une vue en plan du dispositif de mise à l'heure selon l'invention dans laquelle la tige est présentée en position active tirée.
The invention will now be explained in the description which follows and with the aid of the drawing which gives by way of example an embodiment of the invention in which:
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of the time-setting device according to the invention in which the rod is presented in the depressed neutral position.
  • Fig. is a plan view of the time-setting device according to the invention in which the stem is presented in the active pulled position.

Le dispositif présenté aux figures 1 et 2 est adapté aux calibres de montres électroniques dépourvus de remontoire et équipés d'au moins une aiguille des heures et une aiguille des minutes. La tige de mise à l'heure 1 est montée rotativement sur la platine autour de l'axe 2. Elle peut prendre deux positions axiales quand on agit sur la couronne (non représentée) qui est montée sur elle.The device presented in FIGS. 1 and 2 is suitable for calibers of electronic watches without a watch winder and equipped with at least one hour hand and one minute hand. The time-setting rod 1 is rotatably mounted on the plate around the axis 2. It can take two axial positions when one acts on the crown (not shown) which is mounted on it.

La première position neutre est illustrée par la fig. 1 et la seconde, tirée, est illustrée par la fig. 2.The first neutral position is illustrated in FIG. 1 and the second, drawn, is illustrated in FIG. 2.

La tige comporte dans son prolongement un pignon denté 3 dont le diamètre n'excède pas celui de la tige. Le pignon 3 est soit chassé sur un arbre 4 solidaire de la tige soit fabriqué d'une seule pièce avec la tige. Le pignon 3 est muni d'une denture classique 5. Les figures montrent aussi que le dipositif comprend un pignon déplaçable axialement 6 monté rotativement par rapport à un axe 7 disposé parallèlement à l'axe 2 de la tige.The rod has in its extension a toothed pinion 3 whose diameter does not exceed that of the rod. The pinion 3 is either driven on a shaft 4 secured to the rod or made in one piece with the rod. The pinion 3 is provided with a conventional toothing 5. The figures also show that the device comprises an axially displaceable pinion 6 rotatably mounted relative to an axis 7 arranged parallel to the axis 2 of the rod.

Ce pignon 6 joue le même rôle qui celui d'un pignon coulant usuel tel qu'il a été décrit à propos du brevet CH 611 759 sauf en ce qui concerne la fonction remontoire qui n'existe pas ici. Pour simplifier le langage cependant, on continuera à le nommer pignon coulant tout en étant bien conscient que cette définition ne correspond pas exactement à l'idée qu'on se fait d'une telle pièce.This pinion 6 plays the same role as that of a conventional sliding pinion as it has been described in connection with patent CH 611 759 except as regards the winding function which does not exist here. To simplify the language, however, we will continue to call it sliding gable while being well aware that this definition does not exactly correspond to the idea that we have of such a part.

Les axes 2 et 7 sont arrangés l'un par rapport à l'autre pour que la denture 5 du pignon 3 engrène dans la denture 8 du pignon coulant 6. Les figures montrent encore que le pignon coulant 6 est asservi au pignon 3 par un système de tirette 9 et de bascule 10 de façon telle que dans une position tirée de la tige par rapport à une position neutre enfoncée, on active la mise à l'heure de la montre quand on entraîne la tige en rotation manuelle.The axes 2 and 7 are arranged relative to each other so that the toothing 5 of the pinion 3 meshes with the toothing 8 of the sliding pinion 6. The figures also show that the sliding pinion 6 is controlled by the pinion 3 by a pull tab 9 and rocker 10 system so that in a position pulled from the rod relative to a neutral position pressed, the time setting of the watch is activated when the rod is rotated manually.

Les figures montrent que le pignon coulant 6 est solidaire d'un arbre 11 lui-même monté rotativement sur la platine au moyen de paliers non représentés. En variante, le pignon coulant 6 pourrait être monté librement sur un arbre solidaire de la platine.The figures show that the sliding pinion 6 is integral with a shaft 11 itself rotatably mounted on the plate by means of bearings not shown. Alternatively, the sliding pinion 6 could be freely mounted on a shaft secured to the plate.

La tirette 9 est composé d'un ergot 12 et d'un nez 13. L'ergot 12 est engagé dans la saignée 14 formée par l'espace ménagé entre la tige 1 et le pignon denté 3. Quand la tige change de position axiale, la tirette est entraînée en rotation autour de son axe de pivotement matérialisé ici par la vis 15. Le nez 13 de la tirette coopère avec un bras 16 de la bascule 10 qui se déforme élastiquement. Pour cela, la bascule est maintenue fixe par rapport à la platine au moyen d'une vis 27 située au bout de son bras 28. Une goupille de retenue 29 définit pour sa part un sens de déplacement angulaire et bien précis de son autre bras 16. Au bout du bras 16 et faisant corps avec lui se trouve une fourche à deux branches 17 et 18. La branche 17 jouxte le flanc 19 du pignon coulant et la branche 18 formant rotule est engagée librement dans une ouverture 20 d'un levier 21. Le levier 21 comporte des ouvertures 22 dans lesquelles pénètrent des goupilles 23 pour guider le levier qui peut se déplacer parallèlement à 1 'axe 2 de la tige 1 quand le levier 21 est mû par la rotule 18. Le levier 21 comporte en outre une partie 24 qui jouxte le flanc 25 du pignon coulant. Ainsi, le pignon coulant 6 est pris en sandwich entre la branche 17 de la bascule 10 et la partie 24 du levier 21 et pourra se déplacer axialement selon son axe 7 suivant la position de la bascule. Les figures montrent aussi que la partie 24 comprend un renvoi 26 qui engrène en permanence avec le pignon coulant. Le renvoi 26 peut engrener sur un train d'engrenages comportant ici un autre renvoi 30 et une roue de minuterie 31 pivotés sur la platine.The pull tab 9 is composed of a lug 12 and a nose 13. The lug 12 is engaged in the groove 14 formed by the space formed between the rod 1 and the toothed pinion 3. When the rod changes its axial position , the pull tab is rotated about its pivot axis embodied here by the screw 15. The nose 13 of the pull tab cooperates with an arm 16 of the rocker 10 which deforms elastically. For this, the rocker is kept fixed relative to the plate by means of a screw 27 located at the end of its arm 28. A retaining pin 29 for its part defines a direction of angular and very precise movement of its other arm 16 At the end of the arm 16 and integral with it is a fork with two branches 17 and 18. The branch 17 adjoins the side 19 of the sliding pinion and the branch 18 forming a ball joint is freely engaged in an opening 20 of a lever 21 The lever 21 has openings 22 into which pins 23 penetrate to guide the lever which can move parallel to the axis 2 of the rod 1 when the lever 21 is moved by the ball joint 18. The lever 21 further comprises a part 24 which adjoins the side 25 of the sliding pinion. Thus, the sliding pinion 6 is sandwiched between the branch 17 of the lever 10 and the part 24 of the lever 21 and can move axially along its axis 7 depending on the position of the lever. The figures also show that the part 24 includes a reference 26 which permanently meshes with the sliding pinion. The reference 26 can mesh on a gear train here comprising another reference 30 and a timer wheel 31 pivoted on the plate.

La fig. 1 montre la position du mécanisme selon l'invention quand la tige de mise à l'heure est en position neutre enfoncée. Dans cette position, le nez 13 de la tirette s'appuie contre le plan incliné 32 de la bascule 10. Le levier 21 s'est déplacé à gauche de la figure entraîné par la rotule 18. Le pignon coulant 6 est repoussé vers la gauche par la partie 24 du levier et le renvoi 26 solidaire du levier n'engrène pas dans le train d'engrenages 30, 31. Si l'on actionne la tige 1 en rotation, rien ne se passera.Fig. 1 shows the position of the mechanism according to the invention when the time-setting rod is in the depressed neutral position. In this position, the nose 13 of the zipper rests against the inclined plane 32 of the rocker 10. The lever 21 has moved to the left of the figure driven by the ball joint 18. The sliding pinion 6 is pushed to the left by the part 24 of the lever and the return 26 secured to the lever does not mesh in the gear train 30, 31. If the rod 1 is actuated in rotation, nothing will happen.

La fig. 2 montre la position du même mécanisme quand la tige de mise à l'heure est en position tirée par rapport à la position enfoncée. Dans cette position, le nez 13 de la tirette écarte vers la droite le bras 16 de la bascule 10 pour se cranter sur le plan incliné 33. Le bras 17 de la fourche pousse le pignon coulant 6 de même que le levier 21 vers la droite et le renvoi 26 vient en prise avec le train d'engrenages 30, 31. Si l'on actionne en rotation la tige 1, les aiguilles de la montre se mettront à tourner pour être mises à l'heure.Fig. 2 shows the position of the same mechanism when the time-setting rod is in the pulled position relative to the depressed position. In this position, the nose 13 of the pull tab spreads the arm 16 of the rocker 10 to the right to lock onto the inclined plane 33. The arm 17 of the fork pushes the sliding pinion 6 as does the lever 21 to the right and the reference 26 engages with the gear train 30, 31. If the rod 1 is actuated in rotation, the hands of the watch will start to rotate to be set to the time.

Dans une variante d'exécution non représentée, le bras 16 de la bascule se termine non par la rotule 18, mais par une branche semblable à celle représentée en 17. On a affaire alors à une fourche à branches égales dont l'une porte le renvoi 26, lesdites branches embrassant le pignon 6 sur ses flancs 19 et 25. Dans cette variante, le levier 21, dont le rôle sera expliqué plus loin, pourrait être lié à la bascule au moyen d'une articulation ou pourrait aussi être faite d'une seule pièce avec la bascule.In an alternative embodiment not shown, the arm 16 of the rocker ends not by the ball joint 18, but by a branch similar to that shown in 17. We are then dealing with a fork with equal branches, one of which carries the reference 26, said branches embracing the pinion 6 on its sides 19 and 25. In this variant, the lever 21, the role of which will be explained below, could be linked to the rocker by means of an articulation or could also be made of 'one piece with the rocker.

Dans une autre variante d'exécution non représentée au dessin, la tirette 9 coopère directement avec le levier 21. Quand la tirette est entraînée en rotation, son nez agit sur le levier. Dans cette variante, c'est le levier 21 qui porte une fourche à deux branches qui embrasse le pignon coulant 6 pour permettre son déplacement axial. Dans ce cas, la bascule 10 agit comme simple ressort de rappel sur le levier 21.In another alternative embodiment not shown in the drawing, the zipper 9 cooperates directly with the lever 21. When the zipper is rotated, its nose acts on the lever. In this variant, it is the lever 21 which carries a fork with two branches which embraces the sliding pinion 6 to allow its axial displacement. In this case, the rocker 10 acts as a simple return spring on the lever 21.

Le levier 21 sert à la commande du stop et de l'arrêt. Dans son prolongement non représenté, il agit, d'une part, sur un contact électrique qui sert à interrompre l'alimentation électrique du moteur. Le levier commande, d'autre part, un frein mécanique qui agit par exemple sur la roue de seconde pour éviter d'abîmer le moteur qui, sans cela, tournerait à vitesse accélérée lors de la mise à l'heure mécanique.The lever 21 is used to control the stop and the stop. In its extension, not shown, it acts, on the one hand, on an electrical contact which serves to interrupt the electrical supply to the motor. The lever controls, on the other hand, a mechanical brake which acts for example on the second wheel to avoid damaging the engine which, otherwise, would turn at accelerated speed during the mechanical time setting.

La construction qui vient d'être décrite permet surtout de gagner de la place en épaisseur puisque, on l'a déjà dit plus haut, il n'y a plus de pignon coulant coulissant directement sur la tige. Les pièces mises en oeuvre sont classiques, donc faciles à fabriquer. Par exemple l'usinage de la tige, qui pourtant avec son pignon denté n'excède pas un diamètre de 0,8 mm, ne pose aucun problème. La tige est introduite dans un orifice pratiqué dans la tranche de la platine alors que le pignon coulant peut se trouver à un endroit déga- ,gé de cette platine. De ce fait, le diamètre du pignon coulant peut être réalisé en un diamètre plus grand - comme le montre le dessin - que le diamètre du pignon porté par la tige et ceci dans le but de faciliter encore plus sa fabrication.The construction which has just been described makes it possible above all to save space in terms of thickness since, as already mentioned above, there is no longer a sliding pinion sliding directly on the rod. The parts used are conventional, therefore easy to manufacture. For example the machining of the rod, which however with its toothed pinion does not exceed a diameter of 0.8 mm, poses no problem. The rod is introduced into an orifice made in the edge of the plate while the sliding pinion can be in a disengaged place from this plate. Therefore, the diameter of the sliding pinion can be made into a larger diameter - as shown in the drawing - than the diameter of the pinion carried by the rod and this in order to further facilitate its manufacture.
