Definitions

  • the present invention relates to watch movements of the type having a visible movable member and providing animation of the display.
  • a watch movement of this type is, for example, described in document FR 630.190.
  • the piece simulating the pendulum is fixed on the anchor of the escapement, so that it moves jerks, at each alternation, at a rate of 5 to 10 jumps per second, according to the frequency of the pendulum.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to improve the quality of the simulation.
  • the watch movement according to the invention is characterized in that has, furthermore, carried by the frame, an animation wheel mounted, engaged with a mobile of the work train and kinematically connected to the workpiece animation.
  • the swinging motion of the animation piece is slower than that of the pendulum of the watch. More precisely, the frequency of the animation piece can be significantly lower than that of successive jumps the wheels of the finishing car.
  • an elastic member is interposed between the mobile of the gear train with which the gear animation is engaged and the animation piece.
  • This elastic organ is arranged so as to smooth the movement of the animation piece, its oscillation thus tending towards sinusoidal motion.
  • the animation wheel is connected to the wheel of finishing by his seconds mobile.
  • the animation cog is arranged to accelerate the rotation speed of the seconds mobile towards the mobile cooperating with the animation piece.
  • the animation piece oscillates at a frequency between 0.5 and 2 Hz.
  • the movement comprises, in addition, a the sink.
  • the last mobile of the animation wheel is equipped with a board.
  • the animation piece and the board are provided with connecting means arranged eccentrically and arranged to be each connected to one of the ends of the lever.
  • the lever has, on at least one part of its length, an elastically deformable structure, arranged so as to constitute said elastic member.
  • the elastic member connects two coaxial mobiles animation work.
  • the elastic member forms, with the animation piece and the mobile of the cogwheel interposed between that cooperating with the piece of animation and that connected to the elastic member, an oscillating system whose period is between that defined by the periodicity of the advancement of the finishing gear and that of the reciprocating movement of said workpiece.
  • the animation piece In order for the animation piece to be as insensitive as possible to shocks, it is pivotally mounted on the frame and its center of gravity is substantially on its pivot axis.
  • the watch shown in FIG. 1 comprises a box 10 defining a housing in which is disposed a watch movement which will be described in FIGS. 2 to 5, which comprises a finishing gear train and a timer wheels which respectively carry seconds hands 12, of minutes 14 and hours 16.
  • a dial 18 is inserted between the movement and needles. It is pierced by a window 20 through which appears an animation piece 22 arranged to simulate the movement of a pendulum, as will be explained below.
  • FIG. 2 shows, seen from above, a watch movement 24 according to the invention, such as that housed in the box 10.
  • the dial has been removed.
  • the needles 12, 14 and 16 are visible in transparency.
  • the animation piece 22 is also apparent. Its extreme positions are represented in dotted.
  • the movement 24 comprises a base template 26, shown schematically seen from the side in FIG. 3, ensuring the functions essential elements of a timepiece, namely the supply of energy, the generation of a basic frequency, the mechanical division by means of cogs as well as correction functions.
  • His time base may as well be a quartz a balance-spiral.
  • the caliber 26 is in particular provided with a plate and a bridge not referenced and of a finishing train comprising mobiles which are pivotally mounted between the plate and the bridge, only the end of the mobile of the seconds 30 being visible in figure 3.
  • a timer wheel which is no longer shown, carries and provides training minutes hands 14 and 16 hours.
  • the base caliber 26 carries a module 32 comprising a plate 34 and a bridge 36 which, together, serve as support for an animation wheel 38.
  • the latter comprises three mobiles 40, 42 and 44, each formed of a pinion identified. by the letter a , and a wheel identified by the letter b , with the exception of the mobile 44 which comprises a pinion 44a and a board 44c, but no wheel.
  • the mobile 40 is coaxial with the seconds wheel 30. Its pinion 40a is provided with of a hole engaged in the end of the movable seconds 30, the hole and the end being arranged so that the mobiles 30 and 40 are in rotation, for example by means of a lanterning on the pinion 40a, the mobile 40 being then driven on the end of the mobile 30.
  • the wheel 40b drives the pinion 42a and, with it, the wheel 42b, which meshes with the pinion 44a of the mobile 44.
  • the mobiles 40, 42 and 44 are numbered so that the speed of rotation of the mobile 44 is of the order of 1 turn per second, typically between 0, 5 and 2 revolutions per second.
  • the mobiles 40 and 42, as well as the pinion 44a, are arranged and pivoted between the plate 34 and the bridge 36.
  • the pinion 44a is provided with a pivot 44d protruding from the bridge 36 and on which is driven the board 44c.
  • the latter carries a stem 44e, whose function will be specified further.
  • the animation piece 22 has a central portion 22a (FIG 2) provided with a hole in which is driven a shaft 22b pivotally mounted between the plate 34 and bridge 36, near the center of the movement.
  • Two arms 22c and 22d extend on either side of the central portion 22a.
  • the free end of the arm 22c carries an apparent lens 22d through the window 20 and simulating the lens of a pendulum.
  • the end of the other arm 22d is provided a rod 22e, better visible in Figure 5 and intended to provide a connection with the board 44c, by a lever 46 pivotally mounted on the rods 44e and 22e.
  • the lever 46 carries two clockwork stones 46a and 46b, driven out respectively at one and the other of its ends and cooperating with each other. 22nd stem, the other with the 44th stem. It has, in its middle part 46c, a meandering structure giving it greater elasticity than that of a right bar.
  • the lever 46 is held on the rods 22e and 44e by sleeves 48 hunted on the 22nd and 44th stems, leaving enough space with the stones 46a and 46b so that they are not hindered in their movement.
  • the elastic structure 46c of the lever 46 could be replaced by amount free to rotate the wheel 42b on the pinion 42a and connecting them by a hairspring.
  • This variant has not been represented in the drawing because it is easily achievable by a person skilled in the art.
  • the period of the assembly formed by the animation piece 22 and the elastic member 46b is between that defined by the periodicity of the progress of finishing and that of the oscillating movement of the animation piece 22.
  • the whole formed by the lever 46 and the animation part 22 are balanced, ie their center gravity is substantially on the pivot axis of the piece 22.
  • the animation piece could also present another shape of a pendulum, with its penis and its lens, without depart from the scope of the invention.
  • the animation piece could thus have the shape of a boat, the oscillating movement simulating the movement of the waves, or any other object performing a slow pendulum movement.
  • the movement presents according to the invention it is possible to make a watch equipped with an animation slow tending to bring a touch of serenity and calm, making contrast with the usual conditions of everyday life, and thus offering the carrying a bit of serenity, even when reading the time.
  • the presence of a cog can put the pivot point of the animation piece almost anywhere, especially in the immediate vicinity of the center of the movement, which gives the watch an original aesthetic appearance.
