Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece ferrule, more particularly a ferrule for driving a spiral on the shaft of a pendulum in a clockwork movement.
  • ferrules found in current watch movements are often made of steel or brass and, generally, deform plastically when they are driven on the balance shaft.
  • resilient ferrules are also known capable of elastically tightening the balance shaft. The latter have several advantages, including that of being made in a brittle material such as silicon.
  • a disadvantage of elastic ferrules lies in the fact that they reduce the isochronism of the sprung balance.
  • the shell opening to receive the balance shaft, indeed sees its center of gravity move, which generates an imbalance in the balance spring system.
  • the regular shape of the ferrule means that the center of gravity of the ferrule hardly moves during the driving.
  • the attachment point of the hairspring on the shell located on the periphery of the shell, it moves, which offsets the hairspring.
  • the present invention aims to provide an elastic ferrule which, with respect to the conventional elastic ferrules, makes it possible to reduce the displacement of the point of attachment of the spiral on the ferrule during the driving thereof on the balance shaft and thus to improve the isochronism of the sprung balance.
  • 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 at 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 circular section by driving the ferrule 1 on this shaft 4.
  • the outer end 21 of the spiral 2 is fixed to a peak 5.
  • the shell 1 comprises an inner flexible structure 10 elastically receiving and tightening the rocker 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 regular closed curve, typically a regular polygon, having a determined number of points of contact with the balance shaft 4, different from the points 12a, 12b, 12c of attachment of the rigidification structure 11 to the flexible structure 10.
  • the flexible structure 10 is substantially in the shape of an 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.
  • the flexible structure 10 has a center of gravity G which remains substantially the same before and after the driving on the shaft 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 equilateral triangular, 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.
  • the inner end 20 is preferably substantially an extension of one of the rounded vertices of the structure 11, namely the vertex 15a corresponding to the point of attachment 12a. It will be noted in this regard that to ensure a quasi-continuity of shape between the top 15a of the stiffening structure 11 and the inner end 20 of the hairspring 2, the top 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 on the axis of the balance shaft 4, there is provided on this shell 1 a compensation zone, constituted for example by a variable thickness e formed on one of the sides of the triangle defined by the stiffening structure 11, in the occurrence the side located between the vertices 15b and 15c, as illustrated in the figure.
  • the shape and dimensions of this compensation zone can be appropriately determined by a rebalancing method known per se.
  • the stiffening structure 11 has a thickness sufficient to almost not deform during the driving 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.
  • the center of gravity of the ferrule 1 remains constant during the driving of the ferrule-spiral assembly on the balance shaft 4 but also the point 3 of attachment of the spiral 2 to the ferrule 1 This results in an improvement of the isochronism of the sprung balance.
