Definitions

  • 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.
  • the object 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.
  • 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 shows.
  • the subject of the present invention is a mechanical golf counter which distinguished by the features listed in claim 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.
  • 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 needle 9 the display of the number of strokes played for the hole displayed on the counter 6.7.
  • 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.
  • the case 1 comprises a winding stem 11 and two pushers P1 and P2 actuating corrector rockers p1 and p2 acting on the mechanism of the golf counter as described below.
  • the case may not be attached to a bracelet and include, for example, a ring for hanging it from a lace or a chain allowing the golf counter to be worn like a pocket watch or a pendant.
  • FIGS 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 flip-flop 30 is subjected to the return action of the second arm of the spring 27.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • this mechanism includes a tens disc 44 bearing on its upper face 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.
  • 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.
  • the needle 7 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 to hole number 1.
  • the window 10 on the dial reveals the indication 00 indicating that the total number of strokes played is zero.
  • the player can then count the number of moves that are necessary to reach the first hole.
  • the actuation 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.
  • the player increments by one dot display 8.9 indicating the number of strokes for the first hole and other from the counter 10.
  • 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.
  • the player resets the counter totalizer by placing the winding stem 11 in the intermediate position if it is a watch equipped 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
