Definitions

  • the present invention describes a time indicator with mechanical regulator according to the definition of claims. This time indicator is particularly suitable for use in wristwatches.
  • the present invention belongs to the family of so-called “vortex” time indicators.
  • the classic type of such a time indicator is represented by the “Bréguet tourbillon” from 1795.
  • a pendulum, its spiral spring and its escapement are assembled inside a rotating cage, the rotation speed of the cage is one revolution per 60 sec.
  • the cage rotates around a double bearing gear.
  • Patent GB-21,421 of 1892 shows a cantilevered “tourbillon” in a single wide landing.
  • Patent CH-353,679 of 1961 shows a bearing construction in ball bearing overhang where the ball bearing replaces the thick plain bearing used until then.
  • cantilevered ball bearing housings are widely used, as examples in constructions according to patent US-4,132,061 from 1977.
  • the rotation speed can be lower by 60 sec. per turn as shown in the "Tourbillon” by Albert H. Potter published in the book “Horlogerie Ancienne", n ° 22, 2nd semester 1987, pages 64-71.
  • a particularly aesthetic "tourbillon” is known as the "tourbillon” steering wheel.
  • Such a so-called “whirlwind” is described, for example, in the work “Drehganguhren” by Alfred Helwig, Verlag der Deutschen Uhrmacher-Zeitung, Berlin 1927. This so-called flying “whirlwind” has no element covering the cage. It exists moreover, a “whirlwind” known as the flywheel visible on the dial side and exceeding the movement the book “Faszination der Uhrentechnik” by Reinhard Meis, page 276, Laterna magica.
  • the present invention aims to provide a clever construction of a time indicator of the “swirl” spiral balance type known as the handwheel visible on the dial side. It also aims to provide a solution to the aforementioned disadvantage and to show an economical and flexible method of assembling and / or adjusting watches. Finally, it aims to provide a time indicator for wristwatches particularly aesthetic and slim.
  • the present invention refers to a time indicator of the "swirl" spiral balance type known as the flywheel.
  • This so-called “whirlwind” is visible dial side and includes a balance bridge forming a cage with a ferrule.
  • Her single-cantilevered construction supports the whole of said so-called “whirlpool” steering wheel.
  • Such a time indicator is for example shown on page 275 of the book "Das Tourbillon” by Reinhard Meis, Callway Verlag München, 2nd edition 1993.
  • the present invention according to the second claim refers to a time indicator having the features of the main claim and in addition the features following, that the single cantilevered bearing is ball bearing.
  • Such an indicator of time is obtained by combining for example the "whirlwind” shown on page 275 from the book “Das Tourbillon” by Reinhard Meis, Callway Verlag Ober, 2nd 1993 edition with that shown in patent CH-353,679 of 1961.
  • the present invention according to the third claim refers to a time indicator having the features of the main claim and the second claim and in addition the following characteristics, that the whole of the so-called “tourbillon” is designed as an independent tourbillon module separable from the movement. All components can be mounted together and adjusted independently of the movement.
  • Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of a time indicator with regulator known as a “tourbillon” with spiral balance.
  • a pendulum, its spiral spring and the ferrule of swirl are assembled inside a rotating cage, the speed of rotation of the cage is 60 sec. per turn.
  • the whole cage revolves around a double bearing gear.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show different views of details of realizations example of a time indicator with regulator according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a side view in section and fig. 3 shows a top view.
  • This example embodiment of a time indicator of the spiral balance type refers to a "whirlwind” says flying. It includes a traditional oscillator with balance-spiral escapement. It works, for example, with Swiss anchor escapement. This example implementation is in no way limiting. The skilled person, knowing the present invention can achieve a so-called "whirlwind” flying with another system exhaust, for example with a detent exhaust system or with another known regulatory system.
  • This oscillator is mounted inside a tourbillon cage.
  • the tourbillon cage turns around a landing.
  • the “tourbillon” is visible on the dial side 15.
  • the tourbillon cage is formed by a balance bridge 2 being integral with a tourbillon shell 1 by pillars 3.
  • the so-called “tourbillon” flywheel is fully visible and has no element covering the cage.
  • the single bearing is a cantilever construction with ball bearings.
  • the barrel 4 On the bottom side, the barrel 4 is held axially in a ball bearing 5 and by which turns freely.
  • This ball bearing 5 is secured by an outer ring to a tourbillon bridge 6.
  • the vortex shell 1 is the main diameter part defining the overall dimensions in the plan of the watch.
  • This tourbillon ferrule receives the teeth collaborating with a last wheel 12 of a movement 13.
  • the oscillator is held by an axis 7 having a first end 9 driven into a barrel 4 secured to the shell 1 and a second end 8 driven into the balance bridge 2. These ends may include shock absorbers.
  • the movement of the Swiss anchor-type oscillator is maintained by an anchor and an anchor wheel carried by the tourbillon shell 1.
  • the anchor and the wheel anchor carried by the tourbillon ferrule 1 rotate with the tourbillon ferrule 1 around of the axis thereof.
  • the anchor wheel carries a pinion 10 which collaborates with a crown with internal toothing 11 integral with the tourbillon bridge 6, thus creating the wheel rotation anchor 10 around its own axis by the movement of the tourbillon shell 1.
  • the pendulum is arranged in a centered manner relative to the single bearing.
  • This exemplary embodiment is in no way limiting. The skilled person, knowing the present invention can achieve a so-called “whirlwind” flying with a balance arranged eccentrically inside the tourbillon cage.
  • Whirlpool ferrule 1 assembly, balance bridge 2, barrel 4, rolling bearing balls 5 and tourbillon bridge 6 form an integral module supporting the elements of regulation, i.e. the spiral balance oscillator with anchor, anchor wheel and pinion 10 and inner gear crown 11. The whole is a whirlpool module separable from the movement 13.
  • the tourbillon module has the advantage of being mountable for itself and adjustable in outside the movement.
  • This tourbillon module is independent of movement 13, both for frequency, wrapping or tuning.
  • a movement 13 can receive vortex modules of different frequencies and / or different realizations aesthetic.
  • the assembly and maintenance of such a whirlpool module is particularly easy, fast, economical and flexible.
  • this whirlpool module can be fitted into the watch at the last moment. So it is possible to have a stock relatively small vortex modules and to be able to flexibly satisfy the wishes of the buyer, allowing to individualize the watch.
  • the so-called “tourbillon” flywheel according to the invention is arranged in the plane of the dial 15 of a watch or wristwatch visibly from the dial side in a six o'clock or twelve o'clock position. Due to its small thickness, this "whirlpool” says handwheel can be arranged in movement 13 in a raised manner relative to the dial 15, making the “vortex” and its elements particularly visible.
  • a needle indicator can be fixed on the balance bridge 2, for example an indicator needle 14 small seconds.
  • the balance bridge 2 can serve itself indicator by its shape and / or by an associated decoration.
  • the bridge of pendulum 2 is for example made transparent or semi-transparent. he can wear precious stones and / or precious metals and / or ornaments like indicator. Those skilled in the art, knowing the present invention can realize other executions of such indicators.
  • This “tourbillon” is visible on the dial side 15.
  • the total height of the tourbillon module can vary to bring the surface of the tourbillon to exceed the dial 15 while remaining below passing the minute and hour hands 16.17.
  • Compatibility between a family of movements and a family of tourbillon modules is done using an interface, thus ensuring the interchangeability of the tourbillon modules.
  • the interface element ensures that the tourbillon ring 1 maintains a speed of characteristic rotation of for example 60 sec. per turn. This is achieved by an element interface for example by the geometry of its teeth, by the number of teeth, by the shape and by positioning the teeth in movement 13, so as to collaborate perfect way with the last wheel 12 of movement 13.
  • the ratio of reduction gear must be adjusted to ensure the interchangeability condition. Yes for example we reduce the frequency of the oscillator by a factor, then the ratio of pitch diameter between pinion 10 and inner gear 11 must increase by the same factor.
