Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chronograph clutch mechanism by means of a control lever designed on the one hand to prevent blocking when going from a stop position or chronograph position to zero to a running position, on the other hand to accurately adjust the force exerted by the end of the lever resorbant somehow the inevitable manufacturing tolerances at the moving parts constituting said clutch control.
  • the external toothing 3 has twice as many teeth as the internal teeth 2, so that the driving of a step by actuation of a push button successively brings a recess 4 and a flat 6 opposite a predetermined reference position.
  • the clutch control 10 is constituted by a lever having basically three concurrent arms.
  • a first arm 11 has its end pivoted at 12 in the plate 7 or in a mechanism plate 8.
  • a second arm 13 has at its end a tooth 14a held in abutment on a flat portion 6 of the internal control gear 2 by a spring 9 of a resilient arm 15 has at its end a fork 16, preceded by a fold 18 V having a plane 18a inclined against an edge 8a of the plate 8.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to remedy the two major drawbacks of the above-mentioned prior art by providing a chronograph watch having a clutch that is both reliable and easy to handle, and whose operation can easily be adjusted at the end of the assembly. to account for the cumulative effect of manufacturing tolerances.
  • the invention is defined for claim 1.
  • a chronograph clutch mechanism by means of a fork which controls the axial displacement of a clutch wheel to bring it to friction with an intermediate wheel of seconds, or on the contrary to discard it against the force of a return spring.
  • This fork hereinafter referred to as "clutch spring”
  • a control lever which is reciprocated, but according to a first characteristic of the invention, said clutch spring is independent. of the control lever contrary to what has been explained previously for the prior art.
  • This clutch spring is in fact formed of a large arm and a small arm arranged substantially in L, being articulated at the junction of the two arms on the mechanism board or on an adjustment board, the small arm of said clutch spring being urged at its base by the control lever.
  • the clutch spring is articulated in a hinge of an adjustment board formed by a hinge plate, a spacer and a cover, assembled by two through tenons whose ends are guided in translation. by oblong openings made in the mechanism board and in the chronograph bridge.
  • the spacer plate has an extension in which is formed an oblong opening having its major axis perpendicular to the alignment of the tenons, which allows the means of an eccentric to change the distance between the end of the small arm of the spring. clutch and the end of the control lever, and thereby to compensate by means of a final adjustment the manufacturing tolerances of the different parts of the clutch.
  • control lever comprises three concurrent branches, the first having its end pivoted in a mechanism board, the second having its end held by a return spring bearing against the internal toothing of an annular cam comprising a succession of recesses and flats, and the end of the third to actuate the small arm of the clutch spring.
  • FIG. 3 only the constituent elements of the clutch mechanism are shown in plan view, shown even more simplified but on a larger scale in FIG. 4, and in section in FIG. 5.
  • the clutch is shown in the disengaged position.
  • the change of position of the clutch is controlled by an annular cam 1 rotated by a finger 26 actuated by a pusher (not shown) and acting on an external toothing 3, being held in a position determined by a 5.
  • the cam 1 also has an internal toothing 2 formed of a succession of recesses 4 and flats 6.
  • the ratio of the steps between the internal toothing 2 and the external toothing 3 is 1/2 (for example 40 teeth inside and 80 teeth outside), so that the stepwise advance of the cam 1 alternatively brings a recess 4 and a flat 6 opposite a reference position.
  • the clutch as such conventionally comprises a second intermediate wheel 19, engaged with the driving wheel 29 and the small second wheel 25 and a clutch wheel 17, engaged with the chronograph wheel 27 and having at its upper part a flange 17a against which presses a return spring annular blade 21 to hold the two movable 17, 19 in the engaged position (as shown in Figure 7) when there is no external stress.
  • the mechanism for acting on the clutch to move it into the disengaged position by exerting pressure under the flange 17a, comprises three essential elements, namely, a control lever 10, a spring d 20 L clutch and an adjustment board 30.
  • the control lever 10 shown in FIG. 4 in order to better show its outline, comprises three concurrent branches 11, 13 and 15.
  • the branch 11 is pivoted at 12 in the plate 7.
  • the branch 13 has at one end a fold 14 Z completed by a tooth 14a held against the internal toothing 2 of the cam 1 by a return spring 9 bearing against the vertical portion of the fold 14.
  • This Z-fold of the end 14 is imposed only by the location of the mobiles and other parts of the chronograph movement taken as an example, but could equally be replaced by any other type of stop, such as a simple rib.
  • the branch 15 has its end perpendicular to a radial direction of the axis of rotation of the mobiles 17, 19 of the clutch, but has no fork. It will be observed that the particular shape of each leg of the control lever 10 depends solely on the location chosen or imposed for the other mobile constituting the chronograph movement, and that any other form within the reach of the skilled person would still be in the scope of the present invention.
  • the clutch spring 20 comprises a large arm 22 in which the fork is formed and a small arm 24 whose end is urged by the end of the branch 15 of the control lever 10.
  • the clutch spring 20 comprises on both sides of the junction line of the two arms 22, 24 two small pivots 23a, 23b (visible in FIG. 9) mounted in a hinge of a board setting 30 whose construction will be described in more detail below.
  • this clutch spring 20 could be fixed directly on the mechanism board 8, or on a part integral therewith.
  • the adjustment board 30 is formed by the stack of two members 31, 35 disposed on either side of a third member forming a spacer 33.
  • L element 31 has near the edges of one of its ends two small extensions 31a, 31b extending beyond the edge of the spacer 33, said extensions 31a, 31b having ends turned at right angles.
  • the cover member is provided at one of its extended ends with two tabs 35a, 35b located between the curved portions of the extensions 31a, 31b, said tabs extending slightly beyond said extension 31a, 31b. b.
  • These three elements 31, 33, 35 are assembled by two pins 32a, 32b driven through holes provided in said elements, the heads of said tenons 32a, 32b protruding from either side of the stack to form the guide means 32.
  • the tenons 32a, 32b are guided by oblong openings 36a, 36b made in the mechanism board 8 and in the chronograph bridge 28, which limits the play of the adjustment board 30.
  • the spacer 33 is provided with an extension 37 having an oblong opening 37a whose major axis is perpendicular to the alignment of the tenons 32a, 32b.
  • the oblong opening 37a is intended to receive an eccentric 38 which will make it possible to move the adjusting plate 30, and thereby to adjust the pressure exerted by the end of the branch 15 of the control lever 10 on the end of the small arm 24 of the clutch spring 20.
  • the extension 37 also has an orientation perpendicular to the alignment of the tenons 32a, 32b, but it is obvious that said extension could have a different orientation in that the long axis of the oblong opening remains perpendicular to the alignment of the guide pins.
  • This construction has two main advantages. By acting, for example, on the thicknesses, it makes it possible to have both a rigid and non-deformable control and a clutch spring having a certain flexibility that makes it possible to avoid too much friction.
  • the adjustment plate 30 By acting on the eccentric screw 38, the adjustment plate 30 makes it possible to compensate for the inevitable manufacturing tolerances, in particular at the level of the clutch spring 20, the annular leaf spring 21 and the cam 1. As is well known, it can be a little less demanding in terms of tolerances it is possible to manufacture the same product with a slightly lower cost while having, thanks to the invention a high quality.
