Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux compteurs de golf et notamment à ceux du type permettant d'afficher de façon mécanique à partir de poussoirs ou autres organes de manoeuvre le numéro du trou joué, le nombre de coups joués pour un trou donné et le total de coups joués pour un parcours.The present invention relates to golf counters and in particular to those of the type making it possible to display mechanically from pushers or other operating devices the number of the hole played, the number of strokes played for a given hole and the total number of strokes played for a course.

On connaít de tels compteurs qui fonctionnent électriquement ou électroniquement avec des moteurs pas à pas ou des circuits intégrés. De telles réalisations sont onéreuses, volumineuses et complexes et ne se prêtent pas à la réalisation d'un produit haut de gamme en petites séries.We know such meters that operate electrically or electronically with stepper motors or integrated circuits. Such achievements are expensive, bulky and complex and do not lend themselves to the creation of a high-end product in small series.

Le but de la présente invention est de permettre la réalisation de compteurs de golf du type précité purement mécanique et qui, de ce fait, se prêtent à la fabrication de petites séries de produits de haut de gamme.The purpose of the present invention is to allow the production of counters golf of the aforementioned purely mechanical type and which, therefore, lend themselves to the manufacture of small series of high-end products.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de permettre la réalisation d'un module mécanique de compteur de golf pouvant être intégré dans une montre-bracelet de préférence mécanique entre le mouvement et le cadran de cette montre.Another object of the present invention is to allow the realization of a mechanical golf counter module that can be integrated into a wristwatch preferably mechanical between the movement and the dial of this watch.

La présente invention a pour objet un compteur de golf mécanique qui se distingue par les caractéristiques énumérées à la revendication 1.The subject of the present invention is a mechanical golf counter which distinguished by the features listed in claim 1.

Le dessin annexé illustre schématiquement une forme d'exécution du compteur de golf selon l'invention.The attached drawing schematically illustrates an embodiment of the golf counter according to the invention.

La figure 1 illustre une montre-bracelet munie du compteur de golf selon l'invention.FIG. 1 illustrates a wristwatch provided with the golf counter according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue en plan du mécanisme du compteur de golf selon l'invention.Figure 2 is a plan view of the golf counter mechanism according to the invention.

La figure 3 est une coupe suivant la ligne A-A de la figure 2.FIG. 3 is a section along line A-A in FIG. 2.

La figure 4 est une coupe suivant la ligne B-B de la figure 2.Figure 4 is a section along line B-B of Figure 2.

La figure 5 est une coupe suivant la ligne C-C de la figure 2. Figure 5 is a section along line C-C in Figure 2.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, le compteur de golf comporte un boítier 1 renfermant un mécanisme et le mouvement d'une montre dont le cadran 2 porte une graduation 3 d'un affichage horaire coopérant avec un aiguillage heure 4 et minute 5, entraíné par le mouvement de la montre.As seen in Figure 1, the golf counter has a housing 1 containing a mechanism and the movement of a watch whose dial 2 carries a scale 3 of a time display cooperating with a time switch 4 and minute 5, driven by the movement of the watch.

Le cadran 2 porte de plus deux graduations de compteur, l'une 6 formant avec une aiguille 7 l'affichage du numéro du trou joué et l'autre 8 formant avec une aiguille 9 l'affichage du nombre de coups joués pour le trou affiché sur le compteur 6,7.Dial 2 also carries two counter graduations, one 6 forming with a hand 7 the display of the number of the hole played and the other 8 forming with a hand 9 the display of the number of strokes played for the hole displayed on the counter 6.7.

Le cadran 2 comporte encore un guichet 10 au travers duquel des chiffres portés par des disques d'affichage peuvent apparaítre, ce guichet et ces disques formant un compteur totalisateur du nombre de coups joués.Dial 2 also has a window 10 through which numbers carried by display discs may appear, this window and these discs forming a counter totalizing the number of strokes played.

Le boítier 1 comporte une tige de remontoir 11 et deux poussoirs P1 et P2 actionnant des bascules de correcteur p1 et p2 agissant sur le mécanisme du compteur de golf comme il sera décrit ci-après.The case 1 comprises a winding stem 11 and two pushers P1 and P2 actuating flip-flops p1 and p2 acting on the mechanism of the golf counter as described below.

Dans l'exemple illustré le boítier 1 renfermant le mouvement de la montre et le mécanisme compteur de golf, situé entre ledit mouvement et le cadran 2, est fixé sur un bracelet 12.In the example illustrated the case 1 containing the movement of the watch and the golf counter mechanism, located between said movement and the dial 2, is attached to a bracelet 12.

Il est bien évident que dans une exécution simplifiée le boítier 1 pourrait ne renfermer que le mécanisme du compteur de golf, le cadran 2 ne porte alors pas de graduation horaire.It is obvious that in a simplified execution the case 1 could not enclose that the golf counter mechanism, the dial 2 then does not carry hourly graduation.

Dans d'autres variantes le boítier peut ne pas être fixé sur un bracelet et comporter par exemple un anneau permettant de le suspendre à un lacet ou une chaíne permettant de porter le compteur de golf comme une montre de poche ou un pendentif.In other variants the case may not be attached to a bracelet and include for example a ring to hang it on a lace or a chain allowing the golf counter to be worn like a pocket watch or a pendant.

Les figures 2 à 5 illustrent en détail le mécanisme, purement mécanique, du compteur de golf permettant d'actionner les affichages 6,7; 8,9 et 10 à l'aide de poussoirs P1, P2 et de la couronne de remontoir 11.Figures 2 to 5 illustrate in detail the purely mechanical mechanism of the golf counter for activating the displays 6.7; 8.9 and 10 using pushers P1, P2 and the winding crown 11.

Ce mécanisme comporte une seconde étoile de dix-huit dents 13 pivotée sur une plaque de base 14 du module compteur de golf. L'axe 15 de cette étoile de dix-huit 13 porte l'aiguille 7 du compteur affichant le numéro du trou joué. La position angulaire de cette étoile de dix-huit 13 est maintenue entre ses actionnements pas à pas successifs par un sautoir 16.This mechanism comprises a second star of eighteen teeth 13 pivoted on a base plate 14 of the golf counter module. Axis 15 of this star of eighteen 13 carries the needle 7 of the counter displaying the number of the hole played. The angular position of this eighteen star 13 is maintained between its successive step by step actuations by a jumper 16.

Ce mécanisme comporte encore une première étoile de douze dents 17 pivotée également sur la plaque de base 14 du module compteur de golf dont l'axe porte l'aiguille 9 du compteur 8,9 totalisant le nombre de coups joués pour un trou donné. Cette étoile de douze porte un doigt d'arrêt 18 coopérant avec une goupille 19 chassée dans la plaque de base 14 pour définir la position zéro de l'aiguille 9 du compteur de coups joués par trou. Cette étoile de douze est soumise à l'action d'un ressort spiral de rappel 20 et un sautoir 21 maintient sa position angulaire entre ses actionnements successifs.This mechanism also includes a first star of twelve teeth 17 also pivoted on the base plate 14 of the golf counter module whose axis carries the needle 9 of the counter 8.9 totaling the number of strokes played for a hole given. This star of twelve carries a stop finger 18 cooperating with a pin 19 driven into the base plate 14 to define the zero position of the needle 9 of the counter of strokes played per hole. This star of twelve is subject to action a spiral return spring 20 and a jumper 21 maintains its angular position between its successive actuations.

La tige p2 du poussoir P2 porte à son extrémité une goupille 23 agissant sur l'un des bras d'une seconde bascule 24 pivotée en 25 sur la plaque de base 14. Ce premier bras de la seconde bascule 24 se termine par un bec 26 destiné à coopérer avec la denture de la seconde étoile de dix-huit dents 13. Ce premier bras de la seconde bascule 24 est soumis à l'action de rappel d'un ressort 27 fixé sur la plaque de base 14 comportant deux branches dont la première est en appui sur la goupille 23. Cette première branche du ressort 24 tend à maintenir la tige du poussoir P2 en position inactive.The rod p2 of the pusher P2 carries at its end a pin 23 acting on one of the arms of a second rocker 24 pivoted at 25 on the base plate 14. This first arm of the second lever 24 ends with a spout 26 intended for cooperate with the teeth of the second star of eighteen teeth 13. This first arm of the second lever 24 is subjected to the return action of a fixed spring 27 on the base plate 14 comprising two branches, the first of which is supported on the pin 23. This first branch of the spring 24 tends to hold the rod of the pusher P2 in the inactive position.

Le second bras de la branche 24 prend appui par son extrémité 28 sur le sautoir 21 de la première étoile de douze dents 17.The second arm of the branch 24 is supported by its end 28 on the long necklace 21 of the first star of twelve teeth 17.

La tige p1 du poussoir P1 prend appui sur un bossage d'une première bascule 30 pivotée en 31 sur la plaque de base. Cette première bascule 30 est soumise à l'action de rappel du second bras du ressort 27.The rod p1 of the pusher P1 is supported on a boss of a first rocker 30 pivoted at 31 on the base plate. This first rocker 30 is subjected to the return action of the second arm of the spring 27.

L'autre extrémité de la première bascule 30 comporte une face d'actionnement 32 et un bec de commande 33 destiné à agir sur la denture de la première étoile de douze dents 17. Ce bec de commande 33 n'entre en contact qu'avec la moitié inférieure des dents de l'étoile de douze 17. Cette première étoile de douze dents 17 comporte une dent 34 dont l'épaisseur est réduite et ne peut de ce fait coopérer avec ce bec 33.The other end of the first lever 30 has a face actuator 32 and a control spout 33 intended to act on the teeth of the first star of twelve teeth 17. This control spout 33 does not come into contact than with the lower half of the teeth of the star of twelve 17. This first star of twelve teeth 17 has a tooth 34 whose thickness is reduced and cannot this fact cooperate with this spout 33.

Ce mécanisme comporte encore une première couronne 35, présentant une denture interne, actionnée de façon conventionnelle par la tige de remontoir 11 lorsque celle-ci est en position intermédiaire. La première couronne 35 porte une seconde couronne 37 comportant également une denture interne, cette denture interne coopérant avec la face d'actionnement 32 de la bascule de douze 30.This mechanism also includes a first ring 35, having internal teeth, conventionally actuated by the winding stem 11 when the latter is in the intermediate position. The first crown 35 wears a second crown 37 also comprising an internal toothing, this internal teeth cooperating with the actuation face 32 of the rocker of twelve 30.

Le mécanisme comporte encore un disque des unités 38 muni sur sa face supérieure des chiffres 0 à 9 uniformément répartis sur sa circonférence, chiffres apparaissant successivement dans la partie droite du guichet 10 du cadran. Ce disque des unités 38 est solidaire d'un axe 39 pivoté sur la plaque de base 14, cet axe portant également une étoile des unités 40 comportant neuf dents tronquées et une seule dent pleine 41, ainsi qu'un pignon 42 soumis à l'action d'un sautoir 43. La denture de ce pignon 42 est placée sur le chemin de la denture interne de la seconde couronne 37.The mechanism also includes a disc of the units 38 provided on its face upper of the digits 0 to 9 uniformly distributed around its circumference, digits appearing successively in the right part of the window 10 of the dial. This disc of the units 38 is integral with an axis 39 pivoted on the base plate 14, this axis also carrying a star of the units 40 comprising nine truncated teeth and a single solid tooth 41, as well as a pinion 42 subjected to the action of a jumper 43. The teeth of this pinion 42 are placed on the path of the internal teeth of the second crown 37.

Enfin, ce mécanisme comporte un disque des dizaines 44 portant sur sa face supérieure des chiffres de 0 à 9 placés de façon à apparaítre successivement dans la partie gauche du guichet 10 du cadran 2. Ce disque des dizaines 44 est solidaire d'un axe 45 pivoté sur la plaque de base 14, cet axe portant une étoile des dizaines 46 dont les dix dents coopèrent avec la dent 41 de l'étoile des unités 40 et un pignon 47 soumis à l'action d'un sautoir 48.Finally, this mechanism includes a tens disc 44 bearing on its upper side of the numbers 0 to 9 placed so as to appear successively in the left part of window 10 of dial 2. This tens disc 44 is integral with an axis 45 pivoted on the base plate 14, this axis carrying a star tens 46 whose ten teeth cooperate with tooth 41 of the star of the units 40 and a pinion 47 subjected to the action of a jumper 48.

Le disque des unités 38 et le disque des dizaines 44 sont tangents et disposés de manière à pouvoir faire apparaítre deux chiffres dans le guichet 10 du cadran, chacun de ces chiffres étant porté par l'un desdits disques.The disc of the units 38 and the disc of the tens 44 are tangent and arranged so that two numbers can appear in the window 10 of the dial, each of these figures being carried by one of said discs.

Le fonctionnement de ce mécanisme compteur de golf est le suivant :The operation of this golf counter mechanism is as follows:

Dans la position initiale ou zéro, l'aiguille 7 est en regard du chiffre 1 de la graduation 6 indiquant ainsi que c'est le premier trou du parcours qui est joué. L'aiguille 9 indique 0 sur la graduation 8 indiquant qu'aucun coup n'a été joué pour le trou numéro 1. Enfin, le guichet 10 du cadran laisse apparaítre l'indication 00 indiquant que le nombre total de coups joués est nul.In the initial or zero position, the needle 7 is opposite the number 1 of the graduation 6 thus indicating that it is the first hole of the course which is played. The hand 9 indicates 0 on the scale 8 indicating that no move has been made for hole number 1. Finally, the window 10 on the dial reveals the indication 00 indicating that the total number of strokes played is zero.

Le joueur peut alors comptabiliser le nombre de coups qui lui sont nécessaires pour atteindre le premier trou. A chaque coup il appuie sur le poussoir P1, ce qui provoque le basculement de la première bascule 30, son bec 33 engrène avec la denture de l'étoile de douze 17 provoquant son avance d'un pas, ce qui place l'aiguille 9 sur le chiffre 1 de la graduation 8 du cadran 2. Simultanément la face d'actionnement 32 de cette première bascule 30 entre en contact avec la denture de la seconde couronne 37 et déplace celle-ci d'un pas provoquant l'entraínement d'un pas, par le pignon 42, du disque des unités 38 du compteur totalisateur qui indique maintenant 01.The player can then count the number of moves that are necessary to reach the first hole. Each time he presses the pusher P1, which causes the tilting of the first rocker 30, its beak 33 meshes with the teeth of the star of twelve 17 causing it to advance by one step, which places the needle 9 on the number 1 of the graduation 8 of the dial 2. Simultaneously the actuating face 32 of this first rocker 30 enters contact with the teeth of the second crown 37 and move it one step causing the drive of a step, by the pinion 42, of the disc of the units 38 of the total counter which now indicates 01.

Ainsi de suite à chaque poussée du poussoir P1, le joueur incrémente d'un point l'affichage 8,9 indiquant le nombre de coups pour le premier trou et d'autre part le compteur totalisateur 10.Thus, each time push P1 is pushed, the player increments by dot display 8.9 indicating the number of strokes for the first hole and other from the counter 10.

La valeur maximale de l'affichage 8,9 du compteur du nombre de coups par trou est limité dans l'exemple illustré à onze. Si néanmoins l'usager pousse une douzième fois sur le poussoir P1, le bec 33 de la bascule 30 n'entraíne pas l'étoile de douze 17, ce bec passant à côté de la dent tronquée 34 de cette étoile 17. On évite ainsi que la capacité d'armage du ressort spiral 20 soit dépassée et qu'il ne soit endommagé.The maximum value of the display 8.9 of the counter of the number of strokes per hole is limited in the example illustrated to eleven. If nevertheless the user pushes a twelfth time on pusher P1, the spout 33 of the rocker 30 does not drive the star of twelve 17, this beak passing next to the truncated tooth 34 of this star 17. We this prevents the winding capacity of the spiral spring 20 from being exceeded and is damaged.

Bien entendu la valeur maximale du compteur 8,9 dépend du nombre de dents de la première étoile 17 et du nombre de marques de la graduation 8. Cette capacité maximale peut donc être choisie à volonté.Of course the maximum value of the counter 8.9 depends on the number of teeth of the first star 17 and the number of marks on the scale 8. This maximum capacity can therefore be chosen at will.

Lorsque le poussoir P1 est actionné pour la dixième fois consécutive, la dent 41 de l'étoile des unités entraíne l'étoile des dizaines d'un pas. Ceci se reproduit chaque fois que le poussoir P1 est actionné pour la dixième fois consécutive. Ainsi le compteur totalisateur est incrémenté de 0 à 99 au maximum pour chaque pression du poussoir P1. When the push-button P1 is actuated for the tenth consecutive time, the tooth 41 of the star of the units causes the star of the tens of a step. This is reproduced each time button P1 is pressed for the tenth time consecutive. Thus the total counter is incremented from 0 to 99 maximum for each press of button P1.

Le premier trou étant terminé, le joueur appuie une fois sur le poussoir P2 ce qui provoque le pivotement de la seconde bascule 24 et le déplacement du sautoir 21 par la face d'appui 28 du second bras de cette bascule 24. Dès que le sautoir 21 est levé, l'étoile de douze 17 est entraínée en sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre par le ressort spiral de rappel 20 jusqu'à sa position initiale définie par le doigt d'arrêt 18 et la goupille 19. L'aiguille 9 du compteur de nombre de coups par trou est ainsi remise à zéro. En relâchant le poussoir P2 le bec 26 du premier bras de la bascule 24 engrène, sous l'action du ressort 27, avec la seconde étoile de dix-huit dents 13 et provoque sa rotation d'un pas plaçant l'aiguille 7 sur le chiffre 2 de la graduation 6 indiquant le numéro du trou joué.The first hole being finished, the player presses once on pusher P2 which causes the pivoting of the second lever 24 and the displacement of the jumper 21 by the bearing face 28 of the second arm of this rocker 24. As soon as the jumper 21 is raised, the star of twelve 17 is driven counterclockwise of a watch by the spiral return spring 20 to its defined initial position by the stop finger 18 and the pin 19. The needle 9 of the number counter of shots per hole is thus reset to zero. By releasing the pusher P2 the spout 26 of the first arm of the rocker 24 meshes, under the action of the spring 27, with the second star of eighteen teeth 13 and causes it to rotate by one placing step the needle 7 on the number 2 of the graduation 6 indicating the number of the hole played.

Ces fonctions de remise à zéro du compteur du nombre de coups 8,9 par trou et d'incrémentation du compteur 6,7 du numéro de trou n'influencent en aucune manière le compteur totalisateur 10.These reset functions of the counter of the number of shots 8.9 per hole and increment of the counter 6.7 of the hole number do not influence no way the counter 10.

Ces opérations sont répétées jusqu'à la fin du jeu soit la totalisation du nombre de coups joués pour le dix-huitième trou sur le compteur 8,9 et la totalisation du nombre de coups total de la partie sur le compteur totalisateur 10.These operations are repeated until the end of the game, i.e. the totalization of the number of strokes played for the eighteenth hole on the counter 8.9 and the totaling of the total number of strokes of the game on the counter 10.

Avant le début d'une nouvelle partie le joueur remet à zéro le compteur totalisateur en plaçant la tige de remontoir 11 en position intermédiaire s'il s'agit d'une montre équipée d'un compteur de golf, puis en actionnant à l'aide de cette couronne 11 la première couronne 35 qui, entraínant la couronne 37, permet une mise à zéro manuelle du compteur totalisateur.Before the start of a new game the player resets the counter totalizer by placing the winding stem 11 in the intermediate position if it is a watch fitted with a golf counter, then by operating with this crown 11 the first crown 35 which, driving the crown 37, allows a manual reset of the totalizer counter.

Le mécanisme décrit est intéressant car il est simple, ne comporte que peu de pièces faciles à usiner. Un tel mécanisme est notamment beaucoup moins complexe qu'un mécanisme qui comporterait des coeurs pour la remise à zéro des compteurs, comme on le trouve dans les mécanismes de chronographes.The mechanism described is interesting because it is simple, has little easy to machine parts. Such a mechanism is notably much less complex that a mechanism that would include hearts for resetting the counters, as found in chronograph mechanisms.

Bien des variantes du mécanisme décrit sont possibles. On a déjà mentionné qu'il pouvait être intégré ou non dans une montre et que la valeur maximale du compteur 8,9 du nombre de coups par trou était modifiable à volonté. Il en va de même pour la valeur maximale du compteur 6,7 du numéro du trou. En effet, il suffit de modifier en conséquence le nombre de dents de l'étoile de dix-huit et de marques de la graduation 6.Many variants of the described mechanism are possible. We already have mentioned that it could be integrated into a watch or not and that the value maximum of the counter 8.9 of the number of shots per hole was changeable at will. The same goes for the maximum value of the counter 6.7 of the hole number. In effect, it suffices to modify the number of teeth of the eighteen star accordingly and marks of the graduation 6.

On peut également réaliser une version simplifiée du mécanisme qui ne comprendrait pas de compteur totalisateur.We can also make a simplified version of the mechanism which does not would not include a total counter.

En outre, les compteurs 6,7 du numéro du trou joué et 8,9 du nombre de coups du trou joué pourraient comporter à la place de l'aiguille un disque rotatif muni de chiffres sur sa face supérieure, chiffres qui seraient visibles un à un au travers d'un guichet du cadran.In addition, the counters 6.7 of the number of the hole played and 8.9 of the number of strokes of the hole played could include a rotating disc instead of the needle provided with figures on its upper face, figures which would be visible one by one at across a dial window.
