Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece of the kind comprising a clockwork movement, time indicator organs, a moon indicator member, driven by the watch movement and performing a turn during an integer number of lunations, indicator members calendar that are movable relative to the dial, and a calendar mechanism driven from the watch movement.
  • the usual calendar watches are arranged to indicate the quantities specific to a solar calendar, more particularly the Julian calendar or the Gregorian calendar.
  • the calendar mechanism is arranged essentially to total the number of days suitable for each month, and if necessary count the months and increment a counter of the years every twelve months. This mechanism is therefore simply driven once a day by the watch movement, by means of a wheel driven by the hour wheel with a ratio of 1: 2.
  • the present invention aims to incorporate into a timepiece indicator organs of the traditional Chinese calendar, which is still used today to set the date of certain festivals and for Chinese astrology. But this calendar is very different in that it is primarily based on lunations, the average duration of which is not equal to a whole number of days.
  • the known mechanisms for displaying the magnitudes of the Julian calendar or another solar calendar can not be used for this purpose.
  • the Chinese calendar is of the luni-solar type, in that it is based on lunar months that correspond to lunations, while the Chinese years have a variable duration in order to get as close as possible to the tropical years. that is to say, the apparent movement of the sun on the ecliptic.
  • This calendar includes a nineteen-year cycle, called the Chang cycle, which roughly comprises whole numbers of lunations (235) and tropical and Chinese years (19) and whose origin is fixed in such a way. to satisfy the historical condition setting the Chinese New Year at the second new moon following the winter solstice, with rare exceptions.
  • Each of these periods of nineteen Chinese years includes twelve ordinary years of twelve lunar months and seven so-called leap years of thirteen lunar months.
  • the leap years are typically numbers 1, 4, 7, 10, 12, 15 and 18. These years include an extra lunar month also having the duration of a lunation, which will be called here "the month bis". This month is inserted between two ordinary months, in a non-cyclical position which depends on the astronomical data and which therefore varies from one leap year to another. The following lunar months keep the same name or number as in an ordinary year.
  • an ordinary year in the Chinese calendar may be 353, 354, or 366 days, while a leap year may be 383, 384, or 385 days.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece that can be made in the form of a mechanical calendar watch and capable of indicating the cycles of twelve and thirteen lunar months of the Chinese years.
  • the mechanical calendar should also be able to indicate the names of the Chinese years, in particular the celestial trunks and the terrestrial branches defining the sexagesimal cycle of the years of the Chinese calendar.
  • a timepiece of the kind indicated in the introduction characterized in that said calendar is a luni-solar calendar, comprising ordinary years comprising twelve lunations and leap years including thirteen lunations, and in that the calendar mechanism includes a lunar motive, driven by the moon motive so as to take a turn by ordinary year and by leap year.
  • the motive of lunations is associated with a lunar indicator and the moon motive is associated with an indicator of the age of the moon. So, we can read on the dial the respective numbers of the lunar day, that is to say the age of the moon, and the lunar month which is indicated by the indicator of lunations.
  • the calendar mechanism includes a latch arranged to abut against a so-called Chang cam comprising nineteen, or a multiple of nineteen, sectors. angularly of respective small or large heights to represent twelve or thirteen lunar years, the Chang cam being driven by the motive of the lunations so as to rotate by an angle corresponding to a sector at the end of each turn of said mobile.
  • the flip-flop is actuated once by lunation by a cam connected to the moon mobile and comprises a first spout arranged to advance the mobile of lunations by a thirteenth of a turn each time the flip-flop is actuated, and in addition the flip-flop is provided with a second spout arranged to engage in a recess of the mobile lunations to advance this mobile an additional thirteenth of a turn in each year that the rocker rests against a small radius sector of the cam of Chang .
  • said recess is on a spiral-shaped cam forming part of the mobile lunations, the second spout being formed by a pawl mounted on the rocker and biased by a spring to be resiliently supported against said cam.
  • the timepiece preferably comprises other calendar indicator bodies, which are driven by the motive unit and include: a first year indicator, which takes a turn in twelve years and indicates the terrestrial branches, a second indicator of years, which makes a turn in ten years and indicates the celestial trunks and the term Yang or Yin, and a third indicator of years, which is related to Chang's cam and indicates the position of the current year in the cycle of nineteen years.
  • the combined indications of the first and second year indicators form in sixty years the complete cycle of denominations of years in the Chinese calendar.
  • the third year indicator allows the user to see if the current year is leap and a watchmaker to adjust the positions of the elements of the mechanism, if any.
  • the wristwatch 20 shown in the figure 1 comprises conventionally, on its upper face, a dial 21 associated with a plurality of rotary indicator members such as needles or discs which rotate opposite corresponding graduations affixed to the dial 21. These indicator organs are driven from the watchmaking movement of the watch 20, which may be mechanical or electromechanical.
  • the watch comprises the usual control members of a calendar watch, in particular a control rod provided with an outer ring 22 and calendar correction means. In the example described below, all the indicator bodies rotate clockwise.
  • the display members firstly comprise an analog time display, by means of a 24 hour hand and a minute hand 25, for which the graduation is a usual time lapse 26.
  • a second hand may also be provided, but it is not present in this example.
  • An indicator of the phases and age of the moon conventionally includes a moon disk 27 making a U-turn by lunation.
  • the disk 27 is visible in a special shaped window 28 and carries two images 29 of the moon and two indexes 30 moving one after the other next to a semi-circular graduation 31 of the dial, which represents 29 , 5 days and allows to read the lunar date.
  • a lunation indicator 33 comprises a needle 34 (or a disk on which is represented a needle) which makes one turn per year opposite a graduation 35, divided into thirteen equal numbered fields which represent the numbers of the lunations, in other words the lunar months.
  • An indicator 36 of the nineteen-year cycle, or Chang cycle indicates by a needle 37 (or a disc on which is represented a needle) the rank of the Chinese year in the cycle on a scale 38 to nineteen equal fields.
  • the letter B added to some of the year numbers indicates that they are leap years, that is, thirteen lunations. Needle 37 takes a turn in nineteen Chinese years.
  • a central hand 40 making a turn in twelve Chinese years indicates the terrestrial branches on a graduation 41 divided into twelve equal fields which correspond to the twelve terrestrial branches, that is to say to the twelve constellations of the Chinese zodiac, traversed in twelve years by Jupiter and bearing the names of twelve animals.
  • the same fields of the graduation 41 are used to indicate the zodiac signs of the Chinese hours by means of another central hand 42 making a turn in twenty-four hours legal.
  • the twelve fields of the graduation 41 are each facing one of the intervals of the hour turn 26, to simplify the appearance of the dial, but it is not essential.
  • the names of the animals are indicated here in English and in Chinese transcription; they mean respectively rat (RAT), ox (OX), tiger (TIGER), hare (RABBIT), dragon (DRAGON), snake (SNAKE), horse (HORSE), goat (GOAT), monkey (MONKEY), rooster ( CHICKEN), dog (DOG) and pig (PIG).
  • a needle of the celestial trunks 44 takes a turn in ten Chinese years and indicates the celestial trunks on a graduation 45 having ten equal fields, formed by five fields of the elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water), each of which is divided into two equal parts Yang and Yin.
  • the combination of the successive indications of the two needles 40 and 44 forms the sixty-year cycle of the Chinese calendar.
  • FIG. 1 there is further shown a needle 47 making a tour per tropical year to represent the movement of the sun on the ecliptic, opposite four symbols 48 of the equinoxes and solstices.
  • This indication is independent of the lunar calendar and can be obtained by means of a 1: 365.25 transmission from one element making one revolution per day.
  • the figure 2 shows the mechanism 50 driving the indicators 27, 34, 37, 40 and 44 of the luni-solar calendar from the hour wheel 51 of the watch movement of the watch, this wheel being secured to the hour hand 24.
  • the wheel 51 meshes with a wheel 52 making a turn in twenty-four hours and having a finger 53 which advances by one step per day the toothing 54 to fifty-nine teeth of the moon disc 27, whose position is stopped by a jumper spring 55.
  • the disc 27 makes a U-turn at 29, 5 days.
  • the moon disk 27 is provided with a cam 56 having two spiral arms 57 arranged symmetrically, each of which corresponds to a lunation. Against this cam rests a finger 58 of a rocker 60 whose pivot axis is indicated by 61. In order to yield elastically beyond a certain support force, the finger 58 is mounted on the rocker 60 pivotally 91 and it comprises a spring blade 92 bearing against a pin 93 of the rocker. A not shown spring tends to pivot the rocker 60 in the direction of the arrow A, to maintain its finger 58 constantly bearing against the cam 56.
  • Another finger 62 of flip-flop 60 serves as a feeler against a Chang 63 cam which represents the nineteen-year Chang cycle.
  • the periphery of the cam 63 is divided into nineteen sectors having the same angular extension, but a radius which can have either a low value, representing an ordinary year at twelve lunations as the sector 64, or a high value corresponding to a leap year at thirteen lunations, as does the sector 65.
  • the cam 63 is secured to the needle 37 ( figure 1 ) and a nineteen-toothed wheel 66 which meshes with an intermediate wheel 67 whose number of teeth is an integer multiple of nineteen, in this case thirty-eight teeth.
  • the lunar hand 34 shown in figure 1 is integral with a lunar motive 70 making one turn per year of the Chinese lunisolar calendar, this year being able to count twelve or thirteen lunations as indicated by the cam 63.
  • the mobile 70 comprises a thirteen-toothed wheel 71 held in position by a jumper spring 72, a spiral cam 73 having a recess 74, a pinion 75 and a finger 76 which, once a year, advances the wheel 67 of a tooth and thus rotates a nineteenth turn the Chang 63 cam and the needle 37 associated therewith.
  • the rocker 60 has a first spout 77 arranged to advance one step the wheel 71, and a second spout 78 forming a pawl articulated on the rocker 79 and biased by a spring 80 which maintains it bears against the cam 73.
  • the spouts 77 and 78 allow the rocker to rotate the mobile 70 step by step in the direction of the arrow B in the following manner.
  • the latch 60 is activated once by lunation by the cam 56 and then pivots in the opposite direction to the arrow A, until its feeler finger 62 builds against that of sectors 64 and 65 which represents the current Chinese year.
  • the feeler finger 62 and the rocker are stopped by a high sector 65 of the Chang cam, then the other finger 58 of the rocker is elastically pushed by the cam 56 which continues its rotation.
  • Its pawl 78 then makes a relatively large movement along the cam 73 and, at the time of the year when this movement is made near the recess 74 of the cam, it advances an additional step the motive of the lunations 70, just before the normal step produced by the spout 77.
  • the lunar needle 34 thus advances two steps and is placed on the value 1 of the graduation 35.
  • the finger 76 is placed on the mobile 70 in a position such that it advances the wheels 67 and 66 under the action of the latch 60 at the end of the last lunation of the Chinese year.
  • the Chinese New Year passage is indicated by the needle 34 jumping to the first lunation and the needle 37 jumping to the next year on the graduation 38 of the Chang cycle. This movement is instantaneous since it accompanies that of the mobile 70.
  • the needle 40 represented in figure 1 is attached to a central wheel land branches 82 which makes a turn in twelve years.

  • the numbers of teeth of the elements 75, 83, 84 and 82 can be respectively 13, 52, 26 and 78 teeth.
  • the needle 40 takes thirteen steps each Chinese year, two of which are done on the same day in an ordinary year.
  • the needle 44 represented in figure 1 is secured to a wheel of the celestial trunks 86 which is driven from the central wheel 82 so as to make a turn in ten years, by means of a return wheel comprising two wheels 87 and 88.

  • the numbers of teeth of the wheels 82, 87, 88 and 86 may for example be respectively 78, 13, 9 and 45.
  • the wheel 86 could be driven from the mobile 70 with a ratio of 1:10.
  • the needle 42 indicating the Chinese hours makes a turn in twenty-four hours legal, which is also the speed of rotation of the wheel 52.
  • This needle can be secured to a wheel central not shown, which meshes with a wheel 89 of the same diameter, integral with the wheel 52.
  • the position of the needle 42 could be based either on the lunar hour of Beijing, or on the lunar time local, or on any time zone, it would be desirable to interpose a friction device in the transmission driving the needle, to allow to adjust its position relative to the hour hand 24 depending on the location of the wearer of the watch.
  • the calendar mechanism represented in figure 2 may be equipped with various correctors for putting the different indicator organs in the desired position, especially after a period of stopping the watch.
  • Devices of this type operated by means of small pushers housed in the middle of the case, are well known in the field of calendar watches and do not need to be described in detail here.
  • the calendar mechanism described above therefore automatically reproduces the 19 and 60-year cycles of the Chinese calendar, so that it can be described as perpetual.

  • the display according to the figure 3 is greatly simplified compared to the version of the figure 1 , by deleting the index 30 and the needles 37, 40 42 44 and 47, as well as corresponding graduations.
  • the index 30 is replaced by a lunar date hand 101 capable of making a turn in thirty days opposite a circular graduation 102. In this case, it is planned to display in a window 103 of the dial 21 the number ( reference 104) of the month bis during a Chinese year leap. During an ordinary year, the wicket may remain empty or display a sign of normality instead of this number.
  • the lunar months are indicated by a needle 105 on a circular graduation 106 which has only twelve positions in this example.
  • the corresponding mechanism, represented in figure 4 is obviously devoid of cogs driving the needles of the first embodiment which are deleted here, but it also has several differences.
  • the moon disk 27 actuated by the finger 53 has 60 teeth on its periphery. It carries a wheel 108 for driving, via a two-wheel return gear 109, 110 with a transmission ratio of 2, a wheel 111 integral with the lunar date hand 101.
  • a conventional hand-held concealer, not shown, allows to advance step by step the disc 27 and with it the needle 101.

  • the rocker has a spout 117 which actuates step by step the mobile lunations 120.
  • This is greatly simplified compared to the mobile 70 of the previous example, since it comprises only one wheel 121, having twelve teeth instead of thirteen, carrying the needle 105 and a finger 122 and held in position by a jumper spring 123.
  • a ring of the years 124 provided with an internal toothing not shown, has on its upper face any number N of fields equal appear successively in the box 103 and can each carry an indication specific to the Chinese year concerned. As mentioned above, it is intended in this example to indicate in the window the number 104 of the month bis of each leap year of the Chinese calendar.
  • the ring 124 can only be used for N years, then it must be replaced by a ring bearing the indications specific to the next N years.
  • the number N of the fields of the ring can go to at least about sixty without the indication 104 becoming too small.

If the height of this step is zero, it means that the year is normal and the needle shows it being located opposite a specific mark 162 at the end of the scale 141. If the Chinese year is leap, the step has a non-zero height which determines the proper positions of the rake and the needle 140 to indicate the number of the month bis. The wearer of the watch uses this indication in combination with the indication of the lunar months by the needle 34.
