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.
  • the 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.
  • Such an elastic shell is described in EP 1 513 029. It comprises an elastic structure surrounded by a stiffening structure.
  • the present invention aims to provide an elastic ferrule which, with respect to the known elastic ferrules, in particular that according to EP 1 513 029, is capable of exerting a greater clamping force and / or of being more deformed.
  • a ferrule 1 according to the invention comprises an inner flexible structure 2 adapted to receive and resiliently tighten a shaft with a circular section 3, typically a balance shaft, and an external stiffening structure 4 surrounding the flexible structure 2.
  • the stiffening structure 4 is attached to the flexible structure 2 at distinct points 5, thus defining recesses 6 between the structures 2 and 4.
  • the ferrule 1 is typically attached to the inner end of a hairspring (not shown) at a point 7.
  • the shell 1 and the hairspring can be made in one piece, for example silicon.
  • the flexible structure 2 is preferably in the form of a regular closed curve, such as a regular polygon, having a determined number of points of contact with the balance shaft 3, different from the points of attachment of the structure of the structure. rigidification 4 to the flexible structure 2.
  • the flexible structure 2 is substantially in the shape of an equilateral triangle and thus has three points of contact with the shaft 3, and its vertices correspond to the aforementioned points of attachment 5.
  • the elasticity of the structure 2 results from the relatively thin thickness in the plane of the ferrule of each of its sides 8 intended to be in contact with the shaft 3.
  • This thickness which, as will be seen below, is variable, is calculated so that the maximum stress exerted by the balance shaft 3 on the structure 2 is less than the elastic limit of the material forming the shell 1, the shell 1 accommodates manufacturing tolerances of the shaft balance 3 and that the holding of the ferrule 1 on the shaft 3 (torque, driving force) is adequate.
  • the flexible structure 2 Due to its closed and regular shape, the flexible structure 2 has a center of gravity which remains substantially the same before and after the driving of the shell on the shaft 3.
  • the stiffening structure 4 is also in the form of a closed curve and thus completely surrounds the flexible structure 2.
  • the stiffening structure 4 has a shape similar to that of the flexible structure 2, that is to say substantially equilateral triangular, but its vertices 9, corresponding to the points of attachment 5, that is to say to the vertices of the equilateral triangle formed by the flexible structure 2, are rounded.
  • the stiffening structure 4 has a sufficient thickness in the plane of the ferrule to almost not deform during the driving of the shell on the shaft 3 and that in particular the points of attachment 5 and thus the vertices 9 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 shell 1 on the balance shaft 3 but also the point 7 of attachment of the spiral to the ferrule 1. This improves the isochronism of the balance- spiral.
  • the sides 8 of the flexible structure 2 have a variable thickness in the plane of the ferrule.
  • this thickness has maxima ep0, ep1 and ep2 respectively at the center and at the two ends of each side 8 and the minima ep3 and ep4 at mid-distance between the center and the two ends of each side 8, respectively .
  • the maxima ep0, ep1 and ep2 are equal to each other and the minima ep3 and ep4 are equal to each other, as illustrated in the figure.
  • This variation in thickness of the sides 8 of the flexible structure 2 makes it possible to better distribute the stress exerted by the balance shaft 3 along each of said sides.
  • the thickness (ep0, ep1 and ep2) is large; which locally increases the resistance of the sides 8 and reduces the stress experienced by the latter, and where the sides 8 are subjected to a stress of small intensity or zero intensity, namely mid-distance between their center and their two ends respectively, the thickness (ep3 and ep4) is small, which promotes the deformation (or arrow) of the sides 8 by the balance shaft 3.
  • the sides 8 for example a greater force than in the case of the ferrule according to EP 1 513 029 for the same deformation (or arrow) of said sides (with a thickness ep0 ep1, ep2 greater than the thickness of the sides of the flexible structure of the shell according to EP 1 513,029), to increase the force e of clamping of the balance shaft, or a greater deformation than in the case of the shell according to EP 1 513 029 for the same force exerted by the balance shaft (with a thickness ep0, ep1, ep2 equal to 1 thickness of the sides of the flexible structure of the ferrule according to EP 1 513 029), to make the ferrule less sensitive to manufacturing tolerances.
  • Intermediate cases are of course also possible in which both the clamping force and the deformation are increased relative to the ferrule according to EP 1 513 029.
