Definitions
- the present invention relates to a timepiece providing special aesthetic effects. It relates more particularly to a timepiece to periodically reveal a specific image.
- Timepieces have long been known in which an attraction or originality function has been added to the time indication functions by changing the appearance of the piece over time according to the relative position of the indicator members. .
- the goal is a special aesthetic effect involving shapes and colors.
- Drive speeds of the disc and the ring other than those mentioned above can be adopted.
- the complete image will be reconstituted by the cooperation of the patterns carried by the disc and the ring with the patterns carried by the dial.
- the disc and the ring are arranged coaxially in the center of the watch, the effect produced by this type of construction is rather monotonous.
- the patent document US 6,229,768 relates to a trick clock comprising a pair of half-disk-like flaps which, when closed, make up a display dial. At a given moment, these two components begin to pivot around the center of rotation of the needles to discover a decoration that they hide in closed position. Both shutters turn clockwise, one down and the other up. These two flaps are actuated by cranks which are kinematically connected to planetary wheels. corresponding spaced apart intervals along the periphery of a central wheel. These planetary wheels are mounted free to rotate between two rotating discs driven by the movement, so that when these discs begin to rotate, they drive with them the planetary wheels which rotate on themselves while rolling on the central wheel. These planetary wheels do not carry decor and do not cooperate to form a complete pattern at a given moment.
- the patent document DE 2002 174 U1 concerns a watch mechanism in which at the place where the indication of the hour is made it is also possible to read the indication of the minutes.
- the minutes indicating mechanism consists of a rotary dial traversed by saxes on which are mounted disks which bear the minutes indications. On each axis is mounted a toothed wheel which is kinematically connected to the hour wheel by a return wheel. The discs bearing the minute indications turn on themselves and with the rotating dial. They do not contribute to the development of a fancy decor and do not cooperate to form a complete pattern at a given moment.
- the present invention aims to remedy this disadvantage by providing a timepiece to periodically reveal an image of greater complexity and whose appearance is constantly renewed.
- the present invention relates to a timepiece according to claim 1.
- the present invention provides a timepiece whose turntable plate drives the display members in a rotational movement combined with a revolution movement in the manner of a satellite, these movements being regulated. by the ratio of the gear train which links said display members. It is thus possible to create a more complex and dynamic image, which constantly renews the appearance of the watch. Assuming, for example, that the display members are five in number, and that each of these five display members can be coated with a decorative pattern to be chosen from six different patterns, it is possible to make 7776 watches. all different from each other. This unique aspect of a given watch can be further enhanced by sizing the gear train so that the periodicity with which the patterns carried by the display members coincide with the plateau is long on the scale of a human life. . In this way, the user will have a watch that will never present the same aspect between two successive readings.
- the timepiece comprises a regulating member engaged with an escapement itself engaged with a fixed wheel.
- the gear train is engaged with the exhaust on the one hand, and with the fixed wheel on the other hand.
- the gear train mounted on the plate is engaged with a mobile meshing with the fixed wheel.
- the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in providing a timepiece with a turntable carrying display members able to turn on themselves and to jointly accompany the plate in its rotational movement.
- the possibilities of combining the decorative patterns worn by the display members are therefore virtually unlimited, which allows to provide a watch that shows images more complex and more changing, and therefore more attractive to the wearer.
- the movement 1 of the watch comprises a regulating member 2 in engagement with an escapement 3, the latter being engaged with a gear 4 meshing with a fixed wheel 5.
- the regulating member 2 , the exhaust 3 and the gear 4 are mounted on a plate 6 integral with a tube 7 pivoted in a plate 8.
- the tube 7 is located in the center of the watch and animated by a continuous rotational movement driven by an organ engine 9.
- the fixed wheel 5 is located below the plate 6 while the tube 7 is rotatably engaged on a roadway 11 carrying a minute hand 12, this roadway being in turn rotatably engaged on an axis 13 carrying a needle 14.
- the lower ends of the axis 13 and the roadway 11 are connected by a timer 15 located lower than the plate 8.
- Figures 1 and 2 show that the drive member 9 comprises a cylinder 16 which contains a spring not shown and whose shaft 17 carries a first ratchet 18.
- This ratchet 18 meshes with a pinion 19 which is integral with the tube 7 which is fixed the tray 6.
- the attachment of the plate 6 on the tube 7 can be achieved in different ways. Here we have chosen to use one, and preferably two keys 40 which is rotated by means of the screw head 41 of this key to lock the plate on the tube.
- the shaft 17 of the barrel carries a second ratchet 21 coaxial with the first ratchet 18 and located beneath the latter.
- the second ratchet 21 meshes with a wheel 22 frictionally mounted on the roadway 11.
- the wheel 42 of the timer 15 is engaged with the pinion 43 of the roadway 11.
- the hour wheel 44 of the axis 13 is engaged with the pinion 45 of the timer 15.
- Figures 1 and 2 wherein the first barrel 16 is preceded by a second spring barrel 23 engaged with the first by the teeth 24 and 25 of their respective drums.
- Figure 1 shows that the second barrel 23 is engaged with a third spring barrel 26 by the teeth of their respective ratchets 27 and 28.
- the drive member 9 thus comprises three barrels in series.
- the three barrels 16, 23 and 26 arranged in the same plane occupy only about three quarters of the available space in this plane around the central tube 7. In the fourth quarter, it is possible to install an automatic winding mechanism attacking the motor member 9, in this case its third barrel 26.
- a ring-shaped dial 47 provided with pins 48 surrounds the plate 6.
- the ring 47 is held in a fixed ring 58 by means of dial feet 59.
- the tube 7 carrying the plate 6 is pivoted in a plate 8.
- this plate is secured to a barrel bridge 46 in which the tube 7 is also pivotally mounted, so that this tube is held in place radially and axially by the plate 8 and the barrel bridge 46 (see Figure 2).
- the two ratchets 18 and 21 fitted to the barrel 16 may be of the same diameter or of different diameters. If they have the same diameters, it will be understood that the pinion 19 and the wheel 22 will have the same diameters and that consequently the roadway 11 and the associated minute hand 12 will rotate at the same speed as the tube 7 and the plateau 6 which is linked to it, that is to say one turn per hour. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the diameter of the ratchet 18 is greater than the diameter of the ratchet 21, as a result of which the plate 6 will rotate faster than the minute hand 12.
- the plate 6 is integral with the tube 7 which is crossed by the roadway 11 and the axis 13 respectively carrying the minute hands 12 and 14 hours.
- the regulator 2 comprises in the usual way a rocker 49 and a spiral spring 50.
- the escapement comprises the escape wheel 51 and its pinion 52, the anchor 53, the fork rod 54, the large plate 55 and the axle 56 of pendulum.
- the balance shaft is pivoted between the plate 6 and a balance bridge 57 fixed on the plate 6 by means of pillars (not shown).
- the gear 4 comprises a plurality of mobiles providing a gear connection between the escape pinion 52 and the fixed wheel 5. These are three mobiles 29, 30 and 31 each having a wheel (respectively 60, 61 and 62). ) and a pinion (respectively 63, 64 and 65). These mobiles are pivoted between the plate 6 and a gear wheel 66.
- the gear train is fixed on the plate 6 by means of pillars (not shown).
- the number of mobiles (here the mobiles 29, 30 and 31) making up the wheel 4 and the gear ratios existing between these mobiles will depend on the frequency of the balance and the number of revolutions per unit of time chosen for the rotation of the plate. 6.
- This cog in fact is interposed between the exhaust 4 (more precisely the exhaust pinion 52) and the fixed wheel 5. Its characteristics and features therefore impose a number of turns determined per unit time tray.
- the balance 49 oscillates at a rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour. If the escape wheel 51 is provided with 20 teeth, this wheel and the gear 52 which is bound to it will be 540 revolutions per hour.
- the wheel 4 comprises the three mobiles 29, 30 and 31 whose gear ratio between the exhaust pinion 52 and the fixed wheel is 270. As a result, the plate 6 is two revolutions per hour. It will be understood that other ratios may be chosen to obtain other speeds of the plateau 6.
- a first gear train 67, carried by the plate 6, is engaged with a mobile 68 meshing with the fixed wheel 5.
- This gear train is shown in section in Figure 2 along a line which passes through the centers of the different gears and wheels that compose it. More specifically, Figure 2 shows that the mobile 68 comprises an axis 69 pivoted between the plate 6 and the gear train 66, axis on which are fitted a pinion 70 meshing with the fixed wheel 5 and a wheel 71 meshing with the gear train.
- This gear train 67 consists of a first and a second gear 72 and 73, both engaged with the wheel 71, the second gear 73 also meshing with a second wheel 74.
- the gearwheels 72 , 73 and the wheel 74 are pivoted between the plate 6 and the gear wheel 66.
- a second gear train 80 which is shown in section in Figure 1 along a line that passes through the various gears and wheels that compose it is also carried by the plate 6 and is engaged with the mobile 31 pivoted between the plate 6 and the axle 66. It is recalled that the mobile 31 comprises the wheel 62 in engagement with the pinion 64 and the pinion 65 in engagement with the fixed wheel 5 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). More specifically, this second gear train 80 consists of a first and a second pinion 81 and 82 meshing with each other, the pinion 82 meshing in turn with an intermediate wheel 83 itself. taken with a pinion 84 which drives a wheel 85.
- the set of wheels and pinions which make up the gear train 80 form a kinematic chain pivoted between the plate 6 and the gear wheel 66.
- On the axles of the wheels 83 and 85 and on the axis of the mobile 31 are fixed display members which, in the example shown in the drawing (see Figures 1 and 4), are in the form of three eccentric discs 86, 87 and 88 respectively.
- the disk 86 is disposed at a higher level than the disks 87 and 88 and partially covers these disks. All of these disks move over the dial 79 and can cooperate with the latter to form another part of the decor when their respective positions coincide.
- the hours 14 and minute hands 12 surmount the discs. As these needles are thin and essentially mobile, they do not hide the decor.
- the display members may have any shape other than that of a disk, for example square, star or other and that the patterns may be planar or three-dimensional.
- the speed of the dial 79 and the discs is such that the scenery is reconstituted once every six minutes.
- other reports may be chosen to obtain other speeds of the dial 79 and disks.

Description
La présente invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie procurant des effets esthétiques spéciaux. Elle concerne plus particulièrement une pièce d'horlogerie permettant de faire apparaître périodiquement une image déterminée.The present invention relates to a timepiece providing special aesthetic effects. It relates more particularly to a timepiece to periodically reveal a specific image.
On connaît depuis longtemps des pièces d'horlogerie dans lesquelles on a ajouté aux fonctions d'indication du temps une fonction d'attraction ou d'originalité en faisant changer l'apparence de la pièce au cours du temps selon la position relative des organes indicateurs.Timepieces have long been known in which an attraction or originality function has been added to the time indication functions by changing the appearance of the piece over time according to the relative position of the indicator members. .
Un exemple d'une pièce d'horlogerie répondant à la définition générique ci-dessus est décrit dans la demande de brevet
Le but recherché est un effet esthétique spécial faisant intervenir des formes et des couleurs. Des vitesses d'entraînement du disque et de l'anneau autres que celles mentionnées ci-dessus peuvent être adoptées. On peut, par exemple, entraîner le disque à raison d'un tour complet par semaine et l'anneau à raison d'un tour par jour. Dans ce cas, la coïncidence se répétera tous les sept jours. Dans tous les cas, l'image complète sera reconstituée par la coopération des motifs portés par le disque et l'anneau avec les motifs portés par le cadran. Cependant, du fait que le disque et l'anneau sont disposés coaxialement au centre de la montre fait que l'effet produit par ce type de construction est assez monotone.The goal is a special aesthetic effect involving shapes and colors. Drive speeds of the disc and the ring other than those mentioned above can be adopted. One can, for example, train the disc at a rate of one complete turn per week and the ring at a rate of one turn per day. In this case, the coincidence will be repeated every seven days. In all cases, the complete image will be reconstituted by the cooperation of the patterns carried by the disc and the ring with the patterns carried by the dial. However, since the disc and the ring are arranged coaxially in the center of the watch, the effect produced by this type of construction is rather monotonous.

La présente invention à pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient en procurant une pièce d'horlogerie permettant de faire apparaître périodiquement une image d'une plus grande complexité et dont l'aspect se renouvelle sans cesse.The present invention aims to remedy this disadvantage by providing a timepiece to periodically reveal an image of greater complexity and whose appearance is constantly renewed.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie selon le revendication 1. d'engrenages dont le rapport détermine la fréquence à laquelle les motifs décoratifs dont sont revêtus ces organes coopèrent ensemble pour constituer un décor de fantaisie déterminé.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a timepiece according to claim 1. gears, the ratio of which determines the frequency with which the decorative motifs of which these bodies are co-operating cooperate together to constitute a certain fantasy decoration.
Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la présente invention procure une pièce d'horlogerie dont le plateau, en tournant, entraîne les organes d'affichage en un mouvement de rotation combiné à un mouvement de révolution à la manière d'un satellite, ces mouvements étant régulés par le rapport du train d'engrenages qui lie lesdits organes d'affichage. Il est ainsi possible de créer une image plus complexe et plus dynamique, ce qui renouvelle sans cesse l'aspect de la montre. En supposant, par exemple, que les organes d'affichage soient au nombre de cinq, et que chacun de ces cinq organes d'affichage puisse être revêtu d'un motif décoratif à choisir parmi six motifs différents, il est possible de réaliser 7776 montres toutes différentes les unes des autres. Cet aspect unique d'une montre donnée peut encore être renforcé en dimensionnant le train d'engrenages de sorte que la périodicité avec laquelle les motifs portés par les organes d'affichage coïncident avec le plateau soit longue à l'échelle d'une vie humaine. De la sorte, l'utilisateur possédera une montre qui ne présentera jamais le même aspect entre deux lectures successives.Thanks to these features, the present invention provides a timepiece whose turntable plate drives the display members in a rotational movement combined with a revolution movement in the manner of a satellite, these movements being regulated. by the ratio of the gear train which links said display members. It is thus possible to create a more complex and dynamic image, which constantly renews the appearance of the watch. Assuming, for example, that the display members are five in number, and that each of these five display members can be coated with a decorative pattern to be chosen from six different patterns, it is possible to make 7776 watches. all different from each other. This unique aspect of a given watch can be further enhanced by sizing the gear train so that the periodicity with which the patterns carried by the display members coincide with the plateau is long on the scale of a human life. . In this way, the user will have a watch that will never present the same aspect between two successive readings.
Selon une caractéristique complémentaire de l'invention, la pièce d'horlogerie comporte un organe régulateur en prise avec un échappement lui-même en prise avec une roue fixe.According to a complementary feature of the invention, the timepiece comprises a regulating member engaged with an escapement itself engaged with a fixed wheel.
Selon une première variante de réalisation, le train d'engrenages est en prise avec l'échappement d'une part, et avec la roue fixe d'autre part.According to a first embodiment, the gear train is engaged with the exhaust on the one hand, and with the fixed wheel on the other hand.
Selon une seconde variante de réalisation, le train d'engrenages monté sur le plateau est en prise avec un mobile engrenant avec la roue fixe.According to a second embodiment, the gear train mounted on the plate is engaged with a mobile meshing with the fixed wheel.
Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la vitesse, le sens de rotation et l'excentricité des organes d'affichage peuvent être choisis à volonté.Thanks to these characteristics, the speed, the direction of rotation and the eccentricity of the display members can be chosen at will.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention-ressortiront plus clairement de la description détaillée qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation de la pièce d'horlogerie selon l'invention, cet exemple étant donné à titre purement illustratif et non limitatif seulement en liaison avec le dessin annexé sur lequel :

La présente invention procède de l'idée générale inventive qui consiste à munir une pièce d'horlogerie d'un plateau tournant portant des organes d'affichage aptes à tourner sur eux-mêmes et à accompagner conjointement le plateau dans son mouvement de rotation. Les possibilités de combinaison des motifs décoratifs portés par les organes d'affichage sont donc pratiquement illimitées, ce qui permet de procurer une montre qui fait apparaître des images plus complexes et plus changeantes, et donc plus attrayantes pour le porteur.The present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in providing a timepiece with a turntable carrying display members able to turn on themselves and to jointly accompany the plate in its rotational movement. The possibilities of combining the decorative patterns worn by the display members are therefore virtually unlimited, which allows to provide a watch that shows images more complex and more changing, and therefore more attractive to the wearer.
Comme on le voit sur les figures 1 et 2, le mouvement 1 de la montre comporte un organe régulateur 2 en prise avec un échappement 3, ce dernier étant en prise avec un rouage 4 engrenant avec une roue fixe 5. L'organe régulateur 2, l'échappement 3 et le rouage 4 sont montés sur un plateau 6 solidaire d'un tube 7 pivoté dans une platine 8. Le tube 7 est situé au centre de la montre et animé d'un mouvement continu de rotation entraîné par un organe moteur 9.As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the movement 1 of the watch comprises a regulating
La roue fixe 5 est située au-dessous du plateau 6 tandis que le tube 7 est engagé de manière rotative sur une chaussée 11 portant une aiguille des minutes 12, cette chaussée étant à son tour engagée de manière rotative sur un axe 13 portant une aiguille des heures 14. Les extrémités inférieures de l'axe 13 et de la chaussée 11 sont reliées par une minuterie 15 située plus bas que la platine 8.The
Les figures 1 et 2 montrent que l'organe moteur 9 comprend un barillet 16 qui contient un ressort non représenté et dont l'arbre 17 porte un premier rochet 18. Ce rochet 18 engrène avec un pignon 19 qui est solidaire du tube 7 auquel est fixé le plateau 6. La fixation du plateau 6 sur le tube 7 peut être réalisée de différentes manières. Ici on a choisi d'utiliser une, et préférentiellement deux clés 40 qu'on tourne au moyen de la tête de vis 41 de cette clé pour bloquer le plateau sur le tube.Figures 1 and 2 show that the
Les mêmes figures montrent que l'arbre 17 du barillet porte un second rochet 21 coaxial au premier rochet 18 et situé sous ce dernier. Le second rochet 21 engrène avec une roue 22 montée à friction sur la chaussée 11. La roue 42 de la minuterie 15 est en prise avec le pignon 43 de la chaussée 11. De même, la roue des heures 44 de l'axe 13 est en prise avec le pignon 45 de la minuterie 15.The same figures show that the
Si un seul barillet est jugé insuffisant pour assurer au mécanisme une autonomie satisfaisante, on pourra lui ajouter d'autres barillets qui permettront d'accroître la durée de marche de la montre. C'est le cas montré dans les figures 1 et 2, où le premier barillet 16 est précédé par un deuxième barillet à ressort 23 en prise avec le premier par les dentures 24 et 25 de leurs tambours respectifs. De plus, la figure 1 montre que le deuxième barillet 23 est en prise avec un troisième barillet à ressort 26 par les dentures de leurs rochets respectifs 27 et 28. L'organe moteur 9 comprend ainsi trois barillets en série.If a single barrel is considered insufficient to ensure the mechanism satisfactory autonomy, we can add other barrels that will increase the running time of the watch. This is the case shown in Figures 1 and 2, wherein the
Il faut noter que les trois barillets 16, 23 et 26 disposés dans un même plan n'occupent qu'environ les trois quarts de l'espace disponible dans ce plan autour du tube central 7. Dans le quatrième quart, il est possible d'installer un mécanisme de remontage automatique attaquant l'organe moteur 9, en l'occurrence son troisième barillet 26.It should be noted that the three
Un cadran en forme d'anneau 47 muni de repères 48 entoure le plateau 6. L'anneau 47 est maintenu dans une bague fixe 58 au moyen de pieds de cadran 59.A ring-shaped
On a signalé plus haut que le tube 7 portant le plateau 6 est pivoté dans une platine 8. En fait cette platine est solidaire d'un pont de barillet 46 dans lequel le tube 7 est aussi monté à pivot, de sorte que ce tube est maintenu en place radialement et axialement par la platine 8 et par le pont de barillet 46 (voir figure 2).It has been mentioned above that the
Les deux rochets 18 et 21 équipant le barillet 16 peuvent être de mêmes diamètres ou de diamètres différents. S'ils sont de mêmes diamètres, on comprendra que le pignon 19 et la roue 22 auront les mêmes diamètres et qu'en conséquence la chaussée 11 et l'aiguille des minutes 12 qui lui est liée tourneront à la même vitesse que le tube 7 et le plateau 6 qui lui est lié, c'est-à-dire un tour par heure. Dans l'exemple montré en figure 2, le diamètre du rochet 18 est plus grand que le diamètre du rochet 21, en conséquence de quoi le plateau 6 tournera plus vite de l'aiguille des minutes 12.The two
Dans le cas où l'on accepte que le plateau 6 tourne à la même vitesse que l'aiguille des minutes 12, on pourrait se passer du second rochet 21 à condition que le tube 7 soit engagé à friction sur la chaussée 11. On aurait ainsi en variante un organe moteur comportant un barillet dont l'arbre porte un rochet engrenant avec un pignon solidaire du tube 7, ce tube étant engagé à friction sur la chaussée 11.In the case where it is accepted that the
On va examiner maintenant plus en détail le plateau 6 et les éléments qui le surmontent, dans la construction illustrée par les figures 1 à 4. Dans ce cas, le plateau 6 est solidaire du tube 7 qui est traversé par la chaussée 11 et l'axe 13 portant respectivement les aiguilles des minutes 12 et des heures 14.We will now examine in more detail the
Sur le plateau 6, comme on le voit bien en figure 1, on trouve l'organe régulateur 2, l'échappement 3 et le rouage 4.On the
Le régulateur 2 comporte de façon habituelle un balancier 49 et un ressort spiral 50. L'échappement comprend la roue d'échappement 51 et son pignon 52, l'ancre 53, la baguette de fourchette 54, le grand plateau 55 et l'axe 56 de balancier. L'axe de balancier est pivoté entre le plateau 6 et un pont de balancier 57 fixé sur le plateau 6 au moyen de piliers (non représentés). Le rouage 4 comprend une pluralité de mobiles assurant une liaison par engrenages entre le pignon d'échappement 52 et la roue fixe 5. Il s'agit ici de trois mobiles 29, 30 et 31 comportant chacun une roue (respectivement 60, 61 et 62) et un pignon (respectivement 63, 64 et 65). Ces mobiles sont pivotés entre le plateau 6 et un pont de rouage 66. Le pont de rouage est fixé sur le plateau 6 au moyen de piliers (non représentés).The
Le nombre de mobiles (ici les mobiles 29, 30 et 31) composant le rouage 4 ainsi que les rapports d'engrenages existant entre ces mobiles dépendront de la fréquence du balancier et du nombre de tours par unité de temps choisi pour la rotation du plateau 6. Ce rouage en effet est intercalé entre l'échappement 4 (plus précisément le pignon d'échappement 52) et la roue fixe 5. Ses caractéristiques et particularités imposent donc un nombre de tours déterminé par unité de temps au plateau.The number of mobiles (here the
On donnera ici un exemple d'un choix préféré. Le balancier 49 oscille à raison de 21'600 alternances par heure. Si la roue d'échappement 51 est pourvue de 20 dents, cette roue et le pignon 52 qui lui est lié feront 540 tours par heure. Le rouage 4 comprend les trois mobiles 29, 30 et 31 dont le rapport d'engrenages compris entre le pignon d'échappement 52 et la roue fixe est de 270. Il en résulte que le plateau 6 fait deux tours par heure. On comprendra que d'autres rapports pourront être choisis pour obtenir d'autres vitesses du plateau 6.An example of a preferred choice will be given here. The
Un premier train d'engrenages 67, porté par le plateau 6, est en prise avec un mobile 68 engrenant avec la roue fixe 5. Ce train d'engrenages est représenté en coupe sur la figure 2 suivant une ligne qui passe par les centres des différents pignons et roues qui le composent. Plus précisément, la figure 2 montre que le mobile 68 comprend un axe 69 pivoté entre le plateau 6 et le pont de rouage 66, axe sur lequel sont emmanchés un pignon 70 engrenant avec la roue fixe 5 et une roue 71 engrenant avec le train d'engrenages 67. Ce train d'engrenages 67 se compose d'un premier et d'un second pignons 72 et 73 tous deux en prise avec la roue 71, le second pignon 73 engrenant en outre avec une seconde roue 74. Les pignons 72, 73 et la roue 74 sont pivotés entre le plateau 6 et le pont de rouage 66.A
Sur les axes des pignons 72, 73 et de la roue 74 ainsi que sur l'axe 69 sont fixés des organes d'affichage qui, dans l'exemple représenté au dessin (voir figures 2 et 4), se présentent sous forme de quatre disques excentrés 75, 76, 77 et 78 respectivement. Comme on peut le voir à l'examen de la figure 2, les disques 75 et 76 sont disposés au-dessus des disques 77 et 78. Tous ces disques portent différents motifs décoratifs et se déplacent au-dessus d'un cadran 79 qui est fixé sur le plateau 6 au moyen de piliers (non représentés). Le cadran 79 peut également porter un motif décoratif qui peut coopérer avec les motifs reportés sur les disques pour former un décor de fantaisie déterminé lorsque la position du cadran 79 coïncide avec celle des disques 75 à 78.On the axes of the
Un second train d'engrenages 80 qui est représenté en coupe à la figure 1 suivant une ligne qui passe par les différents pignons et roues qui le composent est également porté par le plateau 6 et est en prise avec le mobile 31 pivoté entre le plateau 6 et le pont de rouage 66. On rappelle que le mobile 31 comprend la roue 62 en prise avec le pignon 64 et le pignon 65 en prise avec la roue fixe 5 (voir figures 1 et 3). Plus précisément, ce second train d'engrenages 80 se compose d'un premier et d'un second pignons 81 et 82 engrenant l'un avec l'autre, le pignon 82 engrenant à son tour avec une roue intermédiaire 83 elle-même en prise avec un pignon 84 qui entraîne une roue 85. L'ensemble des roues et pignons qui composent le train d'engrenages 80 forme une chaîne cinématique pivotée entre le plateau 6 et le pont de rouage 66. Sur les axes des roues 83 et 85 ainsi que sur l'axe du mobile 31 sont fixés des organes d'affichage qui, dans l'exemple représenté au dessin (voir figures 1 et 4), se présentent sous la forme de trois disques excentrés 86, 87 et 88 respectivement. Comme on peut le voir à l'examen de la figure 1, le disque 86 est disposé à un niveau plus élevé que les disques 87 et 88 et recouvre partiellement ces disques. Tous ces disques se déplacent au-dessus du cadran 79 et peuvent coopérer avec ce dernier pour former une autre partie du décor lorsque leurs positions respectives coïncident. On notera que les aiguilles d'heures 14 et de minutes 12 surmontent les disques. Comme ces aiguilles sont minces et essentiellement mobiles, elles ne masquent toutefois pas le décor.A
Il va de soi que la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et que diverses modifications et variantes simples peuvent être envisagées par l'homme du métier sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention telle que définie par les revendications annexées. En particulier, on notera que les organes d'affichage peuvent avoir une forme quelconque autre que celle d'un disque, par exemple carré, en étoile ou autre et que les motifs peuvent être plans ou tridimensionnels. On remarquera ici que la vitesse du cadran 79 et des disques est telle que le décor se reconstitue une fois toutes les six minutes. On comprendra toutefois que d'autres rapports pourront être choisis pour obtenir d'autres vitesses du cadran 79 et des disques.It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and that various modifications and simple variants can be envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. In particular, it will be noted that the display members may have any shape other than that of a disk, for example square, star or other and that the patterns may be planar or three-dimensional. It will be noted here that the speed of the
