Definitions
- Timepiece with indication of the second by a whirlpool or carousel is indicated by a whirlpool or carousel.
- the invention relates to a timepiece comprising a tourbillon cage or a carousel visible inside a window of the dial.
- the first concerns timepieces with a tourbillon bar or a needle is driven on the axis of the cage above the bar. This construction is very old and dates from 1801. The needle is thus used to indicate the second.
- the second way to indicate the second with a tourbillon cage is a little more recent, and concerns the flying tourbillons.
- the purpose of the present invention is to further simplify the indication of the second using the tourbillon cage or a carousel, and to propose a timepiece in which the indication of the second is directly visible on the whirlpool itself or on the platform of the carousel.
- the timepiece according to the invention is characterized in that the tourbillon cage or the carousel has a graduation on its periphery arranged to indicate the second relative to a mark placed on the plate or on a solidary insert platinum.
- the graduation around the circumference of the tourbillon cage includes numbers.
- the mark allowing the reading of the second can be made from a stone cut in a triangle and applied either on the plate or on a fixed part of the timepiece, for example on the dial.
- the graduation can be applied on the upper deck or on the lower deck of the tourbillon cage or on a circular piece or ring mounted on the tourbillon cage.
- the single figure of the drawing shows a top view of the tourbillon cage according to the invention.
- the tourbillon cage 1 shown in the drawing is placed in a bore of the plate 2 of the timepiece, and comprises a rotating cage 3 comprising, like any vortex, a conventional assortment and a pendulum.
- the tourbillon cage 3 has a lower deck 4 and an upper deck having a central portion and three arms 5 showing the upper deck connected to the lower deck by means of the screws 6.
- the lower bridge 4 of the tourbillon cage has graduations 7 placed between digits 8 indicating tens of seconds. If necessary, a railway may be added to the graduations represented by the marks 7 and 8, so as to indicate the seconds. This railway is not represented in the single figure of the drawing. Finally, a mark 9 is applied to the stage 2.
- the tourbillon cage rotates in the clockwise direction and the passage of the graduations 7 and numerals 8 in front of the mark 9 indicates the flow of the seconds which are directly displayed by the tourbillon cage 1.
- the invention can be applied to a carousel and, in this case, the graduation will for example be represented by the perimeter of the platform of the carousel.
- the graduation can also be applied to a postponed element or to a ring integral with the tourbillon cage or the platform of the carousel.
