Definitions

  • the hands of clockwork mechanisms are generally parts composed of a body and a hub, the assembly being cut from a sheet of metal constituting a reference plane.
  • This reference plane is parallel to the plane of the dial of the timepiece mechanism receiving this hand.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes to create a clockwork mechanism hand allowing a decorative form to be combined with a discreet presentation, and moreover making the dial easier to read.
  • the invention relates to a needle of the type defined above, characterized in that the body is raised over at least part of its length above the reference plane.
  • the timepiece mechanism hand according to the invention makes it possible to combine an embossed shape with a thin appearance depending on the angle of observation.
  • This relief shape obtained by the raised part or parts does not widen the needle and does not interfere with the precision of the reading of the dial.
  • This needle is easy to make, identical to other needles, whether cut, stamped or molded.
  • an example of a traditional needle consists of a hub part, 1, provided with an orifice 2 for fitting the needle on the axis intended to drive it.
  • This hub part 1 is continued by a rod 3 carrying for example a body 4 terminated by a point 5.
  • This assembly is generally cut from a sheet of metal.
  • the plane containing the needle that is to say the plane of the sheet from which it is cut, constitutes the reference plane. This plane is parallel to the plane of the dial in front of which the hand moves.
  • the needle according to the invention also consists of a hub 11 provided with an orifice 12 intended to be fixed on the not shown axis of drive of the clockwork mechanism .
  • the rod 13 and the body 14 have been raised partially or completely in the longitudinal direction in order to leave the reference plane and be, for example, square with respect to this reference plane.
  • the raised parts 13, 14 correspond to a simple outline but which is in no way limiting. This raised part 13, 14 may represent only half of the needle.
  • the needle is obtained by stamping a shape as will be described below, then raising of the parts 13, 14 by folding. But it is also possible to manufacture the needle with one or more raised parts, by plastic molding.
  • Figure 3 from a blank cut flat 20, which does not represent so that half the shape of a needle, the side part is raised to the right 24, to put it in a plane substantially perpendicular to the reference plane (plane of the sheet).
  • this needle The other parts of this needle are the hub 21, the mounting hole 22, the rod 23 and the tip 25.
  • the folded part (13, 14; 24) of the needle is shown diagrammatically in the drawings; this part can have a shape or silhouette of a character, animal, object, etc. of different colors or materials.
  • the needle and its raised part can also be produced in their final shape by plastic molding.
  • the needle carries two raised parts, on each side of the needle rod and on the same side of the reference plane; this achievement gives more relief to the needle.
  • the part 13 could be associated with the left side of the rod and the part 14 with the right side of the rod. Each of the parts 13, 14 is then raised relative to the reference plane.
