Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chronograph module intended to be mounted on a watch movement or conventional motor module.
  • the invention also relates to a chronograph watch fitted with such a chronograph module.
  • Patent CH 647,125 describes a chronograph watch built on this principle.
  • the chronograph module is driven from two concentric power take-offs from the engine module.
  • the display of the current time (hour hand and minute hand) is controlled by a first PTO formed by the floor of the engine module, while the display of the elapsed time (central second hand, minute counters and d 'hours) is controlled by a second PTO formed by the seconds axis in the center of the engine module.
  • the train of the chronograph is built according to a system known as "in series", where only one power take-off (the second) makes it possible to realize all the functions of the chronograph.
  • the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the invention relates to a timepiece comprising in combination a chronograph module and an engine module assembled, the engine module comprising a small wheel, a first power take-off constituted by a toothed wheel secured to the road and, a second PTO constituted by a pinion fixed on the center seconds axis, the chronograph module comprising a chronograph hand, a minute counter and an hour counter.
  • this timepiece comprises a third PTO constituted by a wheel fixed on the small average, these three PTOs being accessible from the same side by the upper face of the engine module and the chronograph being placed against said upper face of the engine module, and in that the chronograph hand, the minute counter and the hour counter are driven respectively and independently by said second, third and first power take-offs.
  • the various workings of the chronograph are driven in parallel, which makes it possible to improve the precision of the time display on the counters, to reduce the losses in amplitude of the balance wheel and to limit the settings.
  • the timepiece comprises a first clutch lever for the chronograph hub, a second clutch lever for the minute counter and a third clutch lever for the d counter. 'hours, these three levers being controlled by a single piece forming the clutch control.
  • the timepiece according to the invention constitutes, according to an exemplary embodiment, a chronograph watch.
  • This conventionally comprises a winding crown 1, a first 2H push button controlling the start and stop of the chronograph and placed approximately at 2 o'clock and a second 4H push button controlling the reset of the chronograph and arranged substantially at 4 o'clock.
  • This watch allows the current time to be displayed, using an hour hand 3, a minute hand 5 and a small second hand 7 positioned at 3 o'clock. It also makes it possible to display an elapsed time, using a twelve-hour counter 9, placed at 6 o'clock and provided with a hand 11, a thirty-minute counter 13, placed at 9 o'clock and provided a hand 15, and a central chronograph second hand 17.
  • the twelve-hour counter 9 and the thirty-minute counter 13 will be referred to below as the counter of hours 9 and minute counter 13.
  • the graduations of these different counters are carried on a dial 19. It will be noted that the hour counter 9 has, between each of the 12 hour graduations, intermediate graduations making it possible to display half an hour.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the association of the two modules constituting the chronograph watch. Certain parts of the watch have been enlarged to clarify this figure 2 and their dimensions do not correspond to reality.
  • This watch includes a motor module MM and a chronograph module MC assembled inside a watch case 21.
  • this watch case 21 includes a middle part 23 on which a crystal 25 and a back 27 are fixed. Between the middle part 23 and the bottom 27 is placed a seal 29.
  • the motor module is mechanical, and with automatic winding. It therefore comprises an oscillating mass 31.
  • a quartz motor module is used to control the motor module.
  • the chronograph module MC has in its lower part two feet 33 (only one is shown in FIG. 2).
  • Each foot 33 substantially cylindrical, is designed to be engaged in an orifice 35 provided in the upper part of the motor module MM. These two feet 33 are used to angularly position the two modules relative to each other. It will be noted that each foot comprises a prepositioning stud with a diameter smaller than the main diameter of the foot to facilitate the penetration of the teeth during the positioning of the chronograph module MC on the motor module MM.
  • the motor module MM and the chronograph module MC are each provided at their periphery with three holes 36, respectively 37 (a single pair of holes is shown in Figure 2), the holes 37 being partially tapped. Three screws 39 are engaged in these holes 36, 37 to allow the assembly of the two modules.
  • the middle part 23 has an annular groove 41 on its internal face.
  • the chronograph module MC has at its periphery two additional tapped holes 43 (only one is shown in FIG. 2). Opposite each of these holes 43, a casing flange 45 is fixed to the underside of the chronograph module MC, by means of a screw 47 screwed into the hole 43. After assembly, this casing flange 45 protrudes of the diameter of the chronograph module MC and is engaged inside the annular groove 41.
  • the MM motor module is slightly modified compared to a conventional watch movement in that it comprises, instead of the needles, a toothed wheel 49 integral with the pavement of this module and constituting a first power take-off, a pinion 51 fixed on the axis 53 of the seconds in the center and constituting a second PTO coaxial with the first and a toothed wheel 55 fixed on the small medium 57 and constituting a third PTO.
  • FIGs 3, 4 and 5 illustrate top views of the chronograph module MC in which the wheels are simply shown diagrammatically by dotted lines and the dial and the hands have been omitted.
  • the chronograph module MC conventionally comprises, in its center, a chronograph wheel 59 provided with a heart 61. It further comprises on its periphery, respectively at 6 o'clock and at 9 o'clock, a wheel 63 of the hour counter provided with a heart 65 and a wheel 67 of the minute counter provided with a heart 69.
  • the hearts 61 and 69 are arranged respectively above the chronograph wheel 59 and the wheel 67 of the minute counter. On the contrary, the core 65 is arranged below the wheel 63 of the hour meter ( Figure 11).
  • the small second hand 7 is driven out on the axis 73.
  • the small seconds wheel 71 is driven from the center seconds axis 53 by the pinion 51 constituting the second power take-off and by an intermediate seconds wheel 83 freely rotating around an axis 85 mounted on bearings 87 and 89 which are driven in their turn respectively in the chronograph bridge 79 and in the chronograph board 81.
  • the second PTO 51 is placed directly below the chronograph wheel 59. Assuming that the engine module is mechanical with balance wheel, the wheels 51 and 71 rotate at the rate of one step by oscillation of this balance wheel. In the case of a quartz motor module, they rotate for example at the rate of one step per second.
  • the wheels 51, 59, 63, 67, 71, 83 and the hearts 61, 65, 69 previously described are conventional and a skilled person in the art of watchmaking will be able to produce and assemble them without the need to describe them further here.
  • a chronograph hub 91 (FIG. 6) which has an annular groove 93 forming an engagement groove for a disengaging lever 95 which will be described later.
  • This hub 91 has at mid-height an annular shoulder 97 against which is pressed a clutch wheel 99 surmounting a clutch ring 101.
  • the hub 91 is capable of sliding along the axis 85 in order to take two positions.
  • the clutch ring 101 comes into contact with the intermediate seconds wheel 83 which drives it in friction rotation and this ring 101 transmits this rotational movement to the wheel clutch 99 which meshes with the chronograph wheel 59. Consequently, in the engaged position, the chronograph wheel 59 rotates at the same speed as the wheel 51 constituting the second PTO.
  • the chronograph wheel 59 is driven on an axis 103 which carries the central chronograph second hand 17. The latter is therefore driven at the rate of the axis 53 which constitutes the output of the motor module MM.
  • the clutch ring 101 is permanently urged against the intermediate seconds wheel 83, thanks to the action of an elastic washer 105 fixed on a plate 107 driven out on the axis 85.
  • This elastic washer 105 exerts pressure on the top of the hub 91 in the direction of the clutch, against the action exerted, if necessary, by the lever 95.
  • declutching lever 95 The vertical movement of the free end of this declutching lever 95 is ensured by a declutching control 121 which will be described later and which acts on the inclined plane 111.
  • the axis 123 of the small mean 57 of the motor module MM is extended in the direction of the chronograph module MC.
  • the intermediate gear 55 of the minute counter is driven on this axis 123 and constitutes the third PTO previously described.
  • This toothed wheel 55 meshes with the wheel 67 of the minute counter.
  • the latter is freely mounted on an axis 125 of the minute counter carrying the hand 15.
  • This axis 125 is mounted in two bearings 127, 129 provided respectively in the chronograph bridge 79 and in the chronograph board 81.
  • the wheel 67 of the minute counter is surmounted by a hub 131 driven out of a barrel of the heart 69 of the counter of minutes mounted sliding on the axis 125.
  • the core 69 In its upper part, the core 69 also has a bearing surface 133 around which a disc 135 is engaged.
  • the hub 131 has an annular groove 137 forming an engagement groove for a disengaging lever 139 which will be described later.
  • the core 69, the hub 131 and the disc 135 are capable of sliding along the axis 125, under the action of the declutching lever 139 in order to assume two positions.
  • the minute counter wheel 67 is tightened and locked by friction between a plate 141 provided on the axis 125 and the hub 131 and it transmits its rotational movement to the axis 125 which drives the hand 15 of the minute counter.
  • the hub 131 In the disengaged position (high position, shown in FIG. 9), the hub 131 is slightly displaced upwards, but the minute counter wheel 67 continues to be engaged with the intermediate minute counter wheel 55 without transmitting its movement at the axis 125 and therefore at the needle 15. In fact, in this case the wheel 67 rotates freely around the axis 125.
  • the hub 131 is urged elastically downward to be in contact with the minute counter wheel 67, by virtue of an elastic washer 143 clamped between a plate 145 driven out on the axis 125 and the disc 135, so that normally the hub 131 and the wheel 67 are engaged.
  • the hub 131 is actuated by the clutch lever 139 of the minute counter which best appears in FIGS. 3 to 5 and 14.
  • This lever 139 has an elongated shape and has at its ends two legs 147 and 149 which are provided with orifices intended to receive two studs 151 and 153 riveted in the chronograph board 81.
  • the clutch release lever 139 is therefore positioned by these two studs 151 and 153 and is clamped between the bridge of chronograph 79 and plate 81 (see figures 8 and 9). It also has at its other end a pallet 155 and in its middle part a fork 157 side. As can be seen in FIGS. 8 and 9, this fork 157 penetrates into the engagement groove 137 and makes it possible to lift the hub 131.
  • the pallet 155 is moved vertically by the clutch control 121, as will be described later.
  • the minute hand 5 (FIG. 10) is fixed on a road 159 of the chronograph module MC pivotally mounted on a fixed barrel 161 carried by the bridge 79.
  • This road 159 has in its lower part a pinion 163 which meshes with a wheel 165.
  • the latter is integral with an axis 167 pivoted in a socket 169 fixed in the chronograph board 81.
  • This axis 167 carries at its lower end an intermediate road wheel 173 which meshes with the wheel 49 constituting the first grip by force.
  • This wheel 49 is integral with the carriageway 175 of the motor module MM.
  • the carriageway 175 of the motor module MM is engaged with the small medium wheel 57, as appears in FIG. 9, by means of a board 176.
  • the hour hand 3 is fixed to the barrel 177 of the hour wheel 179 concentric with the pavement 159 of the chronograph module.
  • the hour wheel 179 meshes with a pinion 181 secured to the timer wheel 165.
  • the wheel 63 of the hour counter is driven from the hour wheel 179 by a return wheel 183 freely rotating around an axis 185 driven into the chronograph board 81.
