Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch ferrule, more particularly a ferrule for driving a spiral on the shaft of a pendulum in a clockwork movement.
  • the ferrules found in the current watch movements are often made of steel or brass and usually deform plastically when they are driven on the balance shaft.
  • resilient ferrules adapted to elastically tighten the balance shaft have several advantages, including that of being made in a brittle material such as silicon. They are for example in the form of a radially split ring, as described in documents CH 490.703 and FR 1.376.018, or of a closed thin structure providing contact at different points with the balance shaft, as described in FIG. the article entitled "characteristics Viroflex system chronometric" Christian Faivre and Germain Maillard, published by the Swiss Society Chronometry, 56 th Congress, Neucaul, 23 and 24 October 1981.
  • a disadvantage of elastic ferrules lies in the fact that they decrease the isochronism of the sprung balance.
  • the shell opening to receive the balance shaft, sees indeed its center of gravity move, which generates an unbalance in the balance spring system.
  • the regular shape of the ferrule center of gravity of the latter hardly moves during the chassage.
  • the point of attachment of the hairspring on the shell located on the around the shell, it moves, which decenter the spiral.
  • the present invention aims to provide an elastic ferrule which, with respect to conventional elastic shells, reduces the displacement of the point attachment of the hairspring on the shell when driving the latter on the shaft of pendulum and thus improve the isochronism of the sprung balance.
  • FIG. attached shows a ferrule-spiral assembly according to an embodiment preferential of the invention.
  • the ferrule-spiral assembly illustrated in the figure is made in one piece, typically silicon. It comprises a ferrule 1 and a spiral spring 2 attached to the level of its inner end 20 to a point 3 on the periphery of the ferrule 1.
  • the ferrule-spiral assembly is held on a balance shaft 4 with section circular by driving the shell 1 on this shaft 4.
  • the outer end 21 of the hairspring 2 is fixed to a peg 5.
  • the ferrule 1 has a flexible inner structure 10 receiving and squeezing resiliently the balance shaft 4 and an external stiffening structure 11 surrounding the flexible structure 10.
  • the stiffening structure 11 is attached to the latter at distinct points 12a, 12b and 12c, thus defining recesses 13a, 13b and 13c between the structures 10 and 11.
  • the flexible structure 10 is preferably in the form of a curve regular closed, typically a regular polygon, having a determined number points of contact with the balance shaft 4, different from the points 12a, 12b, 12c of attachment of the stiffening structure 11 to the flexible structure 10.
  • the flexible structure 10 is substantially shaped equilateral triangle and thus has three points of contact 14a, 14b and 14c with the shaft 4, and its vertices correspond to the aforementioned points of attachment 12a, 12b, 12c.
  • the elasticity of the structure 10 results from the relatively thin, of the latter.
  • This thickness is calculated in such a way that the constraint maximum force exerted by the balance shaft 4 on the structure 10 is less than the elastic limit of the material forming the ferrule 1, that the ferrule 1 accommodates manufacturing tolerances of the balance shaft 4 and that the holding of the shell 1 on the shaft 4 (torque, driving force) is adequate. Thanks to its shape closed and regular, the flexible structure 10 has a center of gravity G that remains substantially the same before and after the chase on the tree 4.
  • the stiffening structure 11 is also in the form of a closed curve and thus completely surrounds the flexible structure 10.
  • the stiffening structure 11 has a shape similar to that of the flexible structure 10, that is to say substantially triangular equilateral, but its vertices 15a, 15b, 15c, corresponding to the points of attachment 12a, 12b, 12c, that is to say at the vertices of the equilateral triangle formed by the flexible structure 10, are rounded.
  • said inner end 20 constitutes preferably substantially an extension of one of the rounded corners of the structure 11, namely the vertex 15a corresponding to the point of attachment 12a.
  • the vertex 15a unlike the vertices 15b, 15c, has a center of curvature which is distinct from the center of gravity G of the flexible structure 10.
  • this shell 1 To rebalance the shell 1, that is to say, to ensure that its center of gravity corresponds to the center of gravity G of the flexible structure 10 and thus be on the axis of the shaft of pendulum 4, there is provided on this shell 1 a compensation zone, constituted by example by a variable allowance e formed on one of the sides of the triangle defined by the stiffening structure 11, in this case the side between the vertices 15b and 15c, as shown in the figure.
  • the shape and dimensions of this compensation area can be appropriately determined by a rebalancing method known per se.
  • the stiffening structure 11 has a thickness sufficient for almost not to deform during the chase and that in particular the points of attachment 12a, 12b, 12c and therefore the vertices 15a, 15b, 15c remain substantially fixed relative to the center of the ferrule 1 during this hunting. So, in the invention, not only the center of gravity of the ferrule 1 remains constant when driving the ferrule-spiral assembly on the balance shaft 4 but also the point 3 of attachment of the spiral 2 to the ferrule 1. It follows a improvement of the isochronism of the sprung balance.
