Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanical timepiece provided with a tourbillon.
  • a mobile cage In a vortex, a mobile cage is driven by the barrel, through the gear, at a rate of one revolution per minute. This cage carries, at its center, the sprung balance.
  • the escape wheel is driven by a gear off center relative to the axis of the cage, called satellite gear, which meshes with a fixed wheel. By turning, the cage thus cancels the watch's running distances.
  • the tourbillon watches proposed so far generally include a display of the date with a small needle which, from an aesthetic point of view, competes with the tourbillon, or occupies a place that could be assigned to the display of more upscale functions (power reserve, time equation, temperature, chronograph, ). It is, moreover, difficult to read the calendar of the month when it is displayed by means of a needle, as is the case for the watch "Automatic whirlwind with perpetual calendar” marketed by Blancpain.
  • the firm Audemars Piguet has developed a watch, called "Jules Audemars Grand Tour Tourbillon", which is equipped with a calendar display in a window.
  • the chosen solution implies that the display is done by means of two disks, one of the tens, the other of the units, which requires a large energy and occupies a large surface of the dial, preventing the display of other information. .
  • the document EP06892277 describes a vortex with a fixed ring around its cage; a transparent disk carrying a needle displays the time in front of a fixed mounted dial.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a tourbillon timepiece which can provide an indication of the date, or any other value desired by the manufacturer, without occupying, on the dial, an excessive space which is detrimental to the tourbillon or takes the place of more prestigious functions.
  • the invention relates to a timepiece of the type comprising a plate and, mounted thereon, a time base formed of a vortex comprising a rotatable cage appearing in an opening in its dial , and time information display means controlled from the time base.
  • said display means comprise a rotatable ring appearing in the opening of the dial around the tourbillon cage, coaxially with it, and drive members of this ring.
  • the timepiece illustrated with Figures 1 and 2 is intended to display the hour, the minute, the second and the date. It comprises, for this purpose, a base movement 10 and an additional plate 12, fixed on the base movement 10 and intended to carry certain components, as will be explained in more detail with reference to the Figures 3 to 5 .
  • the operation of this piece is regulated by a vortex 16, visible through the opening 14a and pivotally mounted on the base movement 10 and the plate 12.
  • the vortex 16 comprises a tigeron 18 for carrying a second hand.
  • the display of the hour and the minute is carried out, in a conventional manner, by means of needles which do not appear in the drawing, respectively carried by mobiles 20 and 22, coaxial and arranged at the center of the movement 10.
  • the movement 10 comprises a frame formed of a plate 24 and bridges that are not visible in the drawing.
  • This frame serves as a support for moving parts of movement 10, more particularly and in a conventional manner, to the barrel, the work train and the time setting mechanism.
  • the frame can, in addition, carry the automatic winding mechanism.
  • the additional plate 12 allows the addition of mechanisms providing complementary functions, in this case a date display. It has an outgrowth 26 taking place in the opening 14a of the dial. This plate is fixed and positioned on the plate 14 by means not shown, for example feet and screws, on which are arranged the bodies of the complementary mechanisms.
  • the vortex 16 comprises a cage 28, pivotally mounted about an axis AA, on the one hand, on a fixed bridge of the plate 24 and, on the other hand, on the plate 12.
  • the cage On the dial side, the cage carries a plate 30 carrying the tigeron 18.
  • the protrusion 26 is pierced with a hole in which is driven a stone 32 serving as a bearing for the tigger 18.
  • a balance-spiral 34 is mounted in the cage 28, pivoting about the same axis AA.
  • the protrusion 26 of the additional plate 12 has, around the stone 32, cutouts 36 (visible on the Figures 1 and 2 )
  • the plate 12 further comprises an annular groove 38, axis AA, open dial side and serving as a housing for a date ring 40 on which are reported the numbers 1 to 31.
  • This ring 40 has, inwardly, a ring 42 on which is driven a ring 44 with thirty-one teeth appearing in the opening 14a of the dial.
  • a central wheel 48 driven at a rate of one revolution in twelve hours, meshes with an intermediate wheel 50 which meshes, itself, with a control wheel 52 associated with a spring 54 ending in a driving hook 56 cooperating with the crown 44.
  • the wheels 50 and 52 make one turn per day.
  • a date mechanism of conventional type, is produced by which, every day at midnight, the hook 56, driven by the spring 54 which has previously stretched, advances the crown 44 by one step and thus the date ring 40 surrounding the vortex 16.
  • a wheel 58 is connected, in a conventional manner, with the manual time setting of the watch by means of a control rod. .
  • This wheel meshes with a mobile 60 having six wings cooperating with the crown 44.
  • the rotation of the wheel 58 using the control rod allows the mobile 60 to rotate the date ring 40 to put it in the position where it displays the date desired by the user.
  • a tourbillon timepiece that can provide an indication of the date, or any other value desired by the skilled person, without occupying too much space on the dial.
