Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie à calendrier à affichage grand format et à saut instantané comprenant un rouage indicateur de l'heure, un mobile des quantièmes comportant une roue de 31 dents, une roue des unités de 30 dents plus un espace correspondant à une dent pour l'entraínement d'un pignon des unités de 10 dents et une roue de quatre dents pour l'entraínement d'un pignon des dizaines de 4 dents, une came annuelle solidaire d'une roue de 12 dents, et des moyens d'entraínement reliés audit rouage indicateur de l'heure pour entraíner ledit mobile de quantième d'un tour par mois et la came annuelle d'un tour par an.The present invention relates to a timepiece calendar with large display and instantaneous jump including a time indicator cog, a mobile calendars including a 31-tooth wheel, a wheel units of 30 teeth plus a space corresponding to a tooth for driving a pinion units of 10 teeth and a wheel of four teeth for the drive of a pinion dozens of 4 teeth, an annual cam secured to a wheel of 12 teeth, and drive means connected to said cog hour indicator to drive said mobile calendar of a tour per month and the annual cam of a tour per year.

Il existe de nombreuses montres comportant diverses indications dérivées de l'heure, telles que la date, (jour, quantième, mois) les phases de la lune, l'indication de plusieurs fuseaux horaires notamment. La multiplication de ces indications rend dans la plupart des cas leur lecture difficile. Cette difficulté de lecture peut venir aussi bien de la disposition que de la grandeur des indications. Dans bien des cas, le changement d'indication n'est pas instantané mais traínant, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'un calendrier annuel, voire perpétuel. Les quantièmes sont souvent affichés par une aiguille se déplaçant en face d'un cadran de quantièmes, plutôt qu'avec des chiffres apparaissant dans une fenêtre ménagée dans le cadran, ce qui rend la lecture moins facile. En outre, l'affichage des quantièmes par un disque portant les quantièmes de 1 à 31 limite la grandeur possible de ces chiffres, en sorte que l'on a déjà proposé d'afficher les dizaines et les unités par deux disques séparés pour augmenter leur taille, ce qui complique le mécanisme. There are many watches with various indications derived from the time, such as the date, (day, date, month) phases of the moon, indication of several time zones in particular. The multiplication of these indications make it difficult to read in most cases. This reading difficulty can come from the layout only of the magnitude of the indications. In good cases, the change of indication is not instantaneous but trailing, especially when it comes to an annual calendar, even perpetual. The dates are often displayed by a needle moving in front of a date dial, rather than with numbers appearing in a window in the dial, which makes reading less easy. In addition, the date display by a disc bringing the dates from 1 to 31 limits the possible size of these figures, so that we have already proposed to display the tens and the units by two separate disks for increase their size, which complicates the mechanism.

Il est évident que plus il y a d'indications et plus la pièce d'horlogerie est petite, en particulier si il s'agit d'une montre-bracelet et non d'une montre de poche, plus les problèmes sont difficiles à résoudre. Même si de nombreuses solutions existent, on constate cependant qu'aucune ne répond à l'ensemble des exigences de plus en plus grandes en matière d'horlogerie compliquée s'adressant avant tout à des collectionneurs exigeants qui demandent à ce que les limites du possible soient repoussées de plus en plus loin. Il faut non seulement pouvoir vaincre de nouveaux défis techniques, mais que les dimensions de tels mécanismes restent acceptables pour une montre qui doit être portée au bras, aussi bien en ce qui concerne la surface que l'épaisseur et ceci sans nuire à la fiabilité qui reste le critère essentiel.Obviously, the more indications, the more the timepiece is small, especially if it is a wristwatch and not a pocket watch, plus the problems are difficult to solve. Even though many solutions exist, we note however that none responds to all of the growing demands in complicated watchmaking material intended above all for demanding collectors who demand that limits as possible are pushed further and further. It is necessary not only to be able to overcome new technical challenges, but that the dimensions of such mechanisms remain acceptable for a watch that must be worn on the arm, too well with regard to the surface that the thickness and this without compromising the reliability which remains the essential criterion.

Le but de la présente invention est précisément de faire en sorte que le mécanisme de calendrier de la pièce d'horlogerie permette un affichage grand format dans un calendrier à saut instantané.The purpose of the present invention is precisely to make so that the calendar mechanism of the room of watchmaking allows a large format display in a calendar instant jump.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet une pièce d'horlogerie à calendrier à affichage grand format et à saut instantané, telle que définie part la revendication 1.To this end, the present invention relates to a large timepiece with calendar display and instant jump as defined in claim 1.

Avantageusement le calendrier de cette pièce d'horlogerie est un calendrier perpétuel et comporte l'affichage des jours et des mois.Advantageously the calendar of this timepiece is a perpetual calendar and includes the display of days and months.

De préférence, ce calendrier comporte encore l'indication des phases de la lune qui est coaxiale à un rouage supplémentaire pour l'indication d'un second fuseau horaire, entraíné par le rouage indicateur principal situé au centre de la montre.Preferably, this calendar also includes the indication phases of the moon which is coaxial with an additional cog for the indication of a second time zone, driven by the main indicator cog located in the center of the watch.

La conception de cette pièce d'horlogerie à calendrier est destinée à offrir un affichage clair, facile à lire, aussi bien en ce qui concerne la disposition des éléments affichés qu'en ce qui concerne la lisibilité, grâce à des caractères suffisamment grands. Toutes les indications affichées changent de manière instantanée et ne nécessitent de préférence aucune correction, celles-ci étant induites par la came annuelle.The design of this timepiece with calendar is intended to provide a clear, easy-to-read display, as well with regard to the arrangement of the elements displayed only with regard to readability, thanks to sufficiently large characters. All indications displayed change instantly and do not require preferably no correction, these being induced by the annual cam.

D'autres particularités et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront au cours de la description qui va suivre et qui se réfèrera aux dessins annexés qui illustrent, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de la pièce d'horlogerie à calendrier, objet de la présente invention.

  • Figure 4 is a view similar to the preceding figure, showing the position of the various bodies on March 1, after date change;
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view along the line VV of FIG. 3.

    • Les figures 1 et 2 montrent essentiellement le mécanisme de calendrier de la pièce d'horlogerie selon la présente invention qui comporte une roue d'entraínement 1 solidaire de la roue à canon ou roue des heures RC, illustrée sur la coupe de la figure 5, engrenant avec une roue 2 et qui fait un tour en douze heures. Le rapport entre ce pignon 2 et la roue d'entraínement 1 est de 2/1, en sorte que la roue 2 effectue un tour par jour.Figures 1 and 2 essentially show the mechanism of the timepiece according to this invention which comprises a drive wheel 1 integral of the cannon wheel or RC hour wheel, illustrated on the section of Figure 5, meshing with a wheel 2 and which makes a tour in twelve hours. The relationship between this pinion 2 and the drive wheel 1 is 2/1, so that wheel 2 performs one turn per day.

    Cette roue 2 est solidaire d'une came 3 qui travaille avec une cheville 4a solidaire d'une bascule 4, montée pivotante autour d'un axe 4b. Cette bascule 4 se divise en deux bras qui se terminent chacun par un cliquet 5a, 5b pour l'entraínement pas à pas d'un mobile des quantièmes 7 de 31 dents, respectivement pour l'entraínement pas à pas d'une étoile 8 (figure 1) des jours de la semaine. Cette bascule 4 comporte une ouverture en arc de cercle 4c centrée sur son axe de pivotement 4b, dans laquelle une butée 4d est engagée. Cette bascule 4 est pressée contre une extrémité de cette ouverture 4c par un ressort de rappel 6 en prise avec une goupille 4e de la bascule 4.This wheel 2 is integral with a cam 3 which works with a dowel 4a secured to a rocker 4, mounted pivoting around an axis 4b. This rocker 4 is divided into two arms which each end with a ratchet 5a, 5b for step-by-step training of a date mobile 7 of 31 teeth, respectively for the step-by-step training of a star 8 (figure 1) of the days of the week. This flip-flop 4 has an opening in an arc 4c centered on its pivot axis 4b, in which a stop 4d is engaged. This rocker 4 is pressed against one end of this opening 4c by a return spring 6 engaged with a 4th pin of rocker 4.

    Une seconde bascule 9, qui constitue une bascule de correction, est montée pivotante autour du même axe 4b que la bascule 4. Elle est reliée à cette dernière par un bras élastique 9a qui prend appui contre la cheville 4a de la bascule 4, qui fait saillie sur les deux faces de cette bascule 4. La bascule 9 se termine par un cliquet 10 destiné à venir sélectivement en prise avec un décrochement 11a d'une came de correction 11, solidaire du mobile des quantièmes 7.A second flip-flop 9, which constitutes a flip-flop of correction, is pivotally mounted around the same axis 4b as flip-flop 4. It is connected to the latter by an arm elastic 9a which bears against the ankle 4a of the flip-flop 4, which protrudes on both sides of this flip-flop 4. The flip-flop 9 ends with a pawl 10 intended to come selectively engaged with a setback 11a a correction cam 11, integral with the date mobile 7.

    Le mobile des quantièmes 7 est encore solidaire de deux roues, une roue d'entraínement des unités 12, comprenant 30 dents et un espace vide correspondant à la 31ème dent en prise avec une étoile 13 d'affichage des unités des quantièmes, comportant 10 dents. La seconde roue solidaire du mobile des quantièmes 7 est une roue d'entraínement des dizaines 14, comprenant 4 dents en prise avec une étoile 15 d'affichage des dizaines des quantièmes. Chacune de ces étoiles 13, 15 est respectivement solidaire d'un disque annulaire 13a concentrique d'un disque 15a (figure 1 et 5), le disque annulaire 13a portant les chiffres des unités de 0 à 9 et le disque 15a portant les chiffres des dizaines de 0 à 3, le zéro pouvant être remplacé par un espace vide. Ces chiffres apparaissent au travers d'un guichet G ménagé à travers le cadran C de la pièce d'horlogerie (figure 5).The runner 7 is still integral with two wheels, a drive wheel units 12, including 30 teeth and a gap corresponding to the 31 th tooth in engagement with a star 13 display units of dates, having 10 teeth. The second wheel integral with the mobile of the dates 7 is a tens drive wheel 14, comprising 4 teeth engaged with a star 15 for displaying the tens of dates. Each of these stars 13, 15 is respectively secured to an annular disc 13a concentric with a disc 15a (FIGS. 1 and 5), the annular disc 13a bearing the numbers of the units from 0 to 9 and the disc 15a bearing the figures of the tens from 0 to 3, the zero can be replaced by an empty space. These figures appear through a window G formed through the dial C of the timepiece (Figure 5).

    Le mobile des quantièmes 7 engrène dans un rapport 1/1 avec une roue 16 solidaire d'une came de saut instantané 17. Une bascule 18 pivotant autour d'un axe 18a est pressée contre la came de saut instantané 17 par un ressort 19. Cette bascule 18 porte un cliquet d'entraínement 20 qui est en prise avec un mobile annuel 21 de douze dents, solidaire d'une came annuelle 22 qui comporte des secteurs de rayons variables représentatifs du nombre de jours des mois de l'année. Une portion 22a de cette came annuelle 22 est solidaire d'un pignon satellite 23 (figure 1) engrenant avec une roue solaire des mois 24 solidaire du bâti du mécanisme de calendrier. Le rapport d'engrenage entre le pignon satellite 23 et la roue solaire des mois 24 est choisi pour que ce pignon satellite 23 fasse un tour pour quatre tours de la roue solaire des mois 24. La portion de came 22a comporte quatre côtés, dont trois sont à une même distance de l'axe du pignon 23, tandis que la quatrième est à une distance plus grande que les trois autres.The mobile of the date 7 meshes in a 1/1 ratio with a wheel 16 integral with an instantaneous jump cam 17. A rocker 18 pivoting around an axis 18a is pressed against the instantaneous jump cam 17 by a spring 19. This rocker 18 carries a drive pawl 20 which is in engagement with an annual mobile 21 of twelve teeth, integral an annual cam 22 which has radius sectors variables representative of the number of days in the months of year. A portion 22a of this annual cam 22 is secured to a satellite pinion 23 (Figure 1) meshing with a 24 month sun wheel secured to the mechanism frame calendar. The gear ratio between the satellite pinion 23 and the sun wheel for 24 months is chosen so that this satellite pinion 23 makes one turn for four turns of the solar wheel for 24 months. The cam portion 22a includes four sides, three of which are the same distance from the axis pinion 23, while the fourth is at a distance larger than the other three.

    La seconde bascule 9 comporte un bras palpeur 9b destiné à venir en contact avec le pourtour de la came annuelle à chaque déplacement des bascules 4 et 9, c'est-à-dire une fois par jour. Etant donné que les différentes portions de la came annuelle 22 ont des rayons différents en fonction de la longueur des mois, les amplitudes des déplacements de la bascule 9 et de son cliquet 10 varient et les différences entre les différentes amplitudes sont absorbées par le bras élastique 9a de la bascule 9. The second rocker 9 comprises a feeler arm 9b intended coming into contact with the perimeter of the annual cam at each movement of flip-flops 4 and 9, i.e. a times a day. Since the different portions of the annual cam 22 have different radii depending on the length of the months, the amplitudes of the movements of the rocker 9 and its ratchet 10 vary and the differences between the different amplitudes are absorbed by the arm elastic 9a of the rocker 9.

    Comme illustré par la figure 1, le mobile annuel 21 est solidaire d'un disque 21a portant les indications des douze mois de l'année.As illustrated in FIG. 1, the annual mobile 21 is secured to a disc 21a bearing the indications of the twelve months of the year.

    Le mobile des quantièmes 7 et le mobile annuel 21 ainsi que l'étoile des unités 13 et celle des dizaines 15 sont positionnés angulairement par des sautoirs respectifs, 25, 26, 27, 28.The date mobile 7 and the annual mobile 21 as well that the star of the units 13 and that of the tens 15 are angularly positioned by respective jumpers, 25, 26, 27, 28.

    Une des dents du mobile annuel 21 a une épaisseur sensiblement plus grande que les onze autres dents. Grâce à cette dent plus épaisse, le mobile annuel 21 entraíne une étoile à quatre branches 29 d'un pas par année. Cette étoile est solidaire d'un renvoi 30 qui entraíne un train de renvois 31, 32, 33, dont le dernier est solidaire d'une étoile à quatre branches 34 en prise avec un sautoir 35. Cette étoile 34 est également solidaire d'un disque 34a (figure 1) portant les chiffres 1, 2, 3 et la lettre B, pour l'indication d'un cycle de quatre années dont une année bissextile B.One of the teeth of the annual mobile 21 has a thickness which is substantially larger than the other eleven teeth. Thanks to this thicker tooth, the annual mobile 21 causes a four-pointed star 29 of one step per year. This star is integral with a reference 30 which causes a train of references 31, 32, 33, the last of which is attached to a star with four branches 34 in engagement with a long necklace 35. This star 34 is also secured to a disc 34a (Figure 1) bearing the numbers 1, 2, 3 and the letter B, for the indication a four-year cycle including a leap year B.

    L'étoile des jours de la semaine 8 (figure 1) est positionnée par un sautoir 41 et porte un disque 36 sur lequel sont affichés les jours de la semaine. Cette étoile 8 à sept branches est en prise avec une seconde étoile 37 également à sept branches positionnée par un sautoir 38. Cette seconde étoile 37 est solidaire d'un pignon 39 (figure 1) qui engrène avec un renvoi 40 qui engrène avec une roue 42 solidaire et coaxiale d'une roue 43 qui engrène avec une roue 44 pour l'indication des phases de la lune. Les rapports d'engrenages de ce train d'engrenage entre l'étoile des jours de la semaine 8 et la roue 44 pour l'indication des phases de la lune sont choisis pour que la roue 44 fasse un tour en trois mois lunaires, en sorte que cette roue 44 porte trois cercles 45 représentatifs de la lune, répartis à 120° l'un de l'autre sur la roue 44 en sorte que chacun d'eux sert à l'indication d'un cycle lunaire en combinaison avec un guichet (non représenté) de forme appropriée, ménagé à travers le cadran C, pour simuler les phases de croissance et de décroissance de la lune apparaissant dans le guichet.The star of the days of week 8 (figure 1) is positioned by a jumper 41 and carries a disc 36 on which are displayed on weekdays. This star 8 to seven branches is engaged with a second star 37 also at seven branches positioned by a jumper 38. This second star 37 is integral with a pinion 39 (figure 1) which meshes with a return 40 which meshes with a wheel 42 integral and coaxial with a wheel 43 which meshes with a wheel 44 for the indication of the phases of the moon. Gear ratios of this gear train between the star of the days of the week 8 and wheel 44 for the indication of the phases of the moon are chosen so that the wheel 44 makes a turn in three lunar months, so that this wheel 44 carries three circles 45 representative of the moon, distributed at 120 ° one of the other on wheel 44 so that each of them is used to indication of a lunar cycle in combination with a window (not shown) of appropriate shape, arranged through dial C, to simulate the growth and waning moon appearing in the window.

    Une troisième roue 46 pivote sur le même axe que les roues 42, 43 du train d'engrenage des phases de la lune. Cette troisième roue 46 (figure 1) porte un disque 46a divisé en deux secteurs de 180° chacun, l'un étant noir et l'autre blanc pour indiquer les heures nocturnes et les heures diurnes à travers un guichet (non représenté) ménagé dans le cadran C de la pièce d'horlogerie. Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, la roue 46 engrène avec un renvoi 47 qui engrène avec une roue 48 coaxiale à la roue 44 des phases de la lune qui engrène avec la roue 2 du calendrier. Ces roues 46, 48 et 2 ont des rapports 1/1 entre elles, en sorte que la roue 46 fait un tour en 24 heures comme la roue 2. Ainsi, pendant 12 heures la couleur noire apparaít à travers le guichet du cadran et la couleur blanche apparaít à travers ce guichet durant les 12 heures suivantes.A third wheel 46 pivots on the same axis as the wheels 42, 43 of the moon phase gear train. This third wheel 46 (FIG. 1) carries a disc 46a divided into two sectors of 180 ° each, one being black and the other white to indicate the night hours and the daytime hours through a window (not shown) in dial C of the timepiece. As one can see in FIG. 1, the wheel 46 meshes with a reference 47 which meshes with a wheel 48 coaxial with the wheel 44 of the phases of the moon which meshes with the wheel 2 of the calendar. These wheels 46, 48 and 2 have 1/1 ratios between them, so that wheel 46 rotates in 24 hours like wheel 2. So, for 12 hours the black color appears across the dial window and the color white appears through this counter for the next 12 hours.

    Le fonctionnement du mécanisme calendrier décrit ci-dessus est le suivant :The functioning of the calendar mechanism described above is the next :

    Toutes le 24 heures, la came 3 solidaire de la roue 2 du calendrier soulève progressivement les bascules 4 et 9 à l'encontre de la pression exercée par le ressort de rappel 6 sur la bascule 4. En pivotant, les cliquets 5a, 5b sont déplacés dans le sens des aiguilles de la montre autour de l'axe de pivotement 4b des bascules 4, 9, se dégageant ainsi des dentures 7 et 8 et le doigt 9b de la bascule 9 limite plus ou moins l'amplitude de pivotement de cette bascule 9 en fonction de la partie de la came annuelle 22 qui se trouve dans la trajectoire de ce doigt 9b et contre laquelle ce doigt 9b bute. Au cours du reste de son pivotement, la bascule 4 pivote par rapport à la bascule de correction 9, ce pivotement relatif de cette bascule 4 par rapport à la bascule 9 étant absorbé par la déformation du bras élastique 9a de cette bascule 9.Every 24 hours, the cam 3 secured to the wheel 2 of the calendar gradually raises flip-flops 4 and 9 to against the pressure exerted by the return spring 6 on the rocker 4. By pivoting, the pawls 5a, 5b are moved clockwise around the pivot axis 4b of the rockers 4, 9, thus disengaging teeth 7 and 8 and the finger 9b of the rocker 9 limit more or less the amplitude of pivoting of this rocker 9 depending on the part of the annual cam 22 which is found in the path of this finger 9b and against which this finger 9b abuts. During the rest of its pivoting, the flip-flop 4 pivots relative to the correction flip-flop 9, this relative pivoting of this rocker 4 relative to the rocker 9 being absorbed by the deformation of the elastic arm 9a of this rocker 9.

    Durant la période allant du 1 au 29 du mois, la bascule 9 et son cliquet 10 n'ont aucune fonction, le cliquet 10 glissant contre la surface lisse de la came de correction 11 à chaque mouvement de va-et-vient des bascules 4 et 9. Dans le cas d'un mois de 30 jours, lors du changement de quantième entre le 30 et le 1 du mois suivant, lorsque le doigt 9b de la bascule 9 vient prendre appui contre une des portions de plus petit diamètre de la came annuelle 22, le cliquet 10 s'engage derrière le décrochement 11a de la came de correction 11, en sorte que lorsque la came 3 libère les bascules 4 et 9 à la force de rappel du ressort 6, le cliquet 10 entraíne la came de correction 11 de la valeur de deux pas de la roue de quantième 7, solidaire de cette came de correction 11, faisant passer le quantième du 30 au 01.During the period from 1 to 29 of the month, the switch 9 and its pawl 10 have no function, the pawl 10 sliding against the smooth surface of the correction cam 11 with each back and forth movement of flip-flops 4 and 9. In in the case of a 30-day month, when the date changes between the 30th and the 1st of the following month, when the finger 9b of the rocker 9 comes to rest against one of the smaller diameter portions of the annual cam 22, the pawl 10 engages behind the cam 11a correction 11, so that when the cam 3 releases the flip-flops 4 and 9 to the return force of spring 6, the pawl 10 drives the correction cam 11 of the value of two steps of the date wheel 7, integral with this cam correction 11, changing the date from 30 to 01.

    Lors du changement de quantième au cours d'un mois, soit il n'y a qu'un changement d'unité et la roue 12 entraíne d'un pas l'étoile 13, soit il y a changement simultané d'unité et de dizaine et les roues 12 et 14 entraínent simultanément d'un pas les étoiles 13, respectivement 15.When the date changes during a month, either there is only a change of unit and the wheel 12 drives with one step the star 13, or there is simultaneous change of units and tens and the wheels 12 and 14 drive simultaneously by one step the stars 13, respectively 15.

    A la fin d'un mois de 31 jours, l'unité du quantième suivant 01 ne changeant pas, seule la dizaine change. C'est la raison pour laquelle la roue des quantièmes 12 comporte 30 dents et un espace correspondant à une dent manquante. Ainsi, lors du passage du 31 au 01, la dent manquante de la roue des quantièmes se trouve en face de l'étoile des unités 13, en sorte que celle-ci n'est pas entraínée et que le chiffre 1 est affiché deux jours consécutifs. Seule l'étoile des dizaines 15 est entraínée d'un pas par la roue des dizaines à quatre dents 14, faisant passer le disque des dizaines 15a du 3 au 0. At the end of a 31-day month, the unit of the date according to 01 not changing, only the ten changes. It is the reason why the date wheel 12 has 30 teeth and a space corresponding to a missing tooth. Thus, during the passage from 31 to 01, the missing tooth of the date wheel is in front of the units star 13, so that it is not driven and that the digit 1 is displayed on two consecutive days. Only the star tens 15 is driven by one step by the tens wheel with four teeth 14, passing the disc of tens 15a from 3 to 0.

    Pour que le calendrier soit perpétuel, la came annuelle 22 comporte une portion 22a solidaire d'un pignon satellite 23 (figure 1), qui correspond à la correction à induire à la fin du mois de février qui compte soit 28 jours en année normale soit 29 jours en année bissextile. Cette portion de came 22a fait ¼ de tour chaque année et comporte quatre côtés, dont un est situé à une plus grande distance du centre du pignon satellite 23 que les trois autres. Lorsque le doigt 9b de la bascule de correction 9 se trouve en face de cette portion de came 22a au cours d'un mois de février de 28 jours, elle permet un basculement de la bascule de correction 9 de plus grande amplitude que dans le cas des autres mois, en sorte que le 28 février, le cliquet 10 de la bascule 9 vient derrière le décrochement de la came de correction 11, comme illustré par la figure 3, il s'agit là de l'amplitude maximum de la bascule de correction 9. Dès que la came de saut instantané 3 libère la bascule d'entraínement 4 à la pression du ressort 6, le cliquet 10 de la bascule de correction 9 entraíne la roue des quantièmes de 4 pas, faisant passer instantanément l'affichage des disques 13a, 15a du 28 au 01.To keep the calendar perpetual, the annual cam 22 includes a portion 22a secured to a satellite pinion 23 (Figure 1), which corresponds to the correction to be made to the end of February which has 28 days in the year normal, i.e. 29 days in a leap year. This portion of cam 22 has ¼ turn each year and has four sides, one of which is located at a greater distance from the center of the satellite pinion 23 than the other three. When the finger 9b of the correction lever 9 is located opposite this portion of cam 22a during a month of February of 28 days, it allows the tilting of the correction 9 of greater amplitude than in the case of other months, so that on February 28 the ratchet 10 of the rocker 9 comes behind the cam correction 11, as illustrated in figure 3, this is of the maximum amplitude of the correction scale 9. From that the instantaneous jump cam 3 releases the drive rocker 4 at the pressure of the spring 6, the pawl 10 of the correction scale 9 drives the date wheel of 4 step, instantly switching disc displays 13a, 15a from 28 to 01.

    Lorsqu'il s'agit d'une année bissextile, c'est la surface de la portion 22a de la came 22 qui se trouve la plus éloignée du centre du pignon satellite 23 qui est en face du doigt 9b de la bascule de correction 9, la distance de cette surface au centre de pivotement de la came 22 étant située entre la distance des surfaces de la came 22 relatives aux mois de 30 jours et la distance des surfaces de la portion de came 22a correspondant aux mois de février de 28 jours, en sorte que le cliquet 10 viendra en prise avec le décrochement 11a de la came de correction 11 le 29 février et avancera la roue des quantièmes 7 simultanément et instantanément de trois pas. Ces corrections du mobile de quantième produisent le changement synchrone du mobile annuel 21 et du disque d'affichage des mois 21a solidaire de ce mobile annuel 21.When it is a leap year, it is the area of the portion 22a of the cam 22 which is most distant from the center of the satellite pinion 23 which is opposite the finger 9b of the flip-flop 9, the distance from this surface at the pivot center of cam 22 being located between the distance of the surfaces of the cam 22 relative to the 30 day month and distance from serving surfaces of cam 22a corresponding to the months of February of 28 days, so that the pawl 10 will engage the recess 11a from correction cam 11 on February 29 and will advance the date wheel 7 simultaneously and instantly three steps. These date mobile corrections produce the synchronous change of the annual mobile 21 and the 21a month display disc in solidarity with this annual mobile 21.

    Par contre, ces corrections n'ont aucune influence sur le cliquet 5b d'entraínement de l'étoile 8 solidaire du disque des jours de la semaine qui se succèdent évidemment de manière immuable, cette étoile 8 faisant avancer la roue 44 pour l'indication des phases de la lune chaque jour d'une fraction d'un cycle lunaire correspondant à un jour solaire.However, these corrections have no influence on the pawl 5b for driving the star 8 secured to the disc successive days of the week of unchangeable, this star 8 advancing the wheel 44 for the indication of the phases of the moon each day of a fraction of a lunar cycle corresponding to a solar day.

    Le mouvement continu de la roue 2 en prise avec la roue d'entraínement 1 solidaire de la roue à canon RC est communiqué à la roue 46 portant les secteurs blanc/noir d'indication des heures diurnes et nocturnes avec un rapport 1/1.The continuous movement of the wheel 2 in engagement with the wheel drive 1 secured to the cannon wheel RC is communicated to wheel 46 with the white / black indication sectors day and night hours with a 1/1 ratio.
