Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. More particularly, it relates to a movement for a timepiece comprising a mechanism arranged to drive an indicator member in a periodically activated furtive rotation movement, with a predefined period.
- the watch movement comprises a finishing train, the mechanism further comprising a first mobile comprising a first wheel, at least indirectly engaged with the finishing train, a second mobile mounted coaxial with the first mobile, having at least one stop zone and a second wheel, integral in rotation, a second kinematic link connecting the second wheel to the indicator member, a resilient member connecting the first mobile to the second mobile so that its state of charge or depending on the respective angular positions of the first and second mobiles, locking means arranged to cooperate with the stopping zone of the second mobile to lock the latter in rotation between two successive movements of the indicator member.
- the indicator member bears a sign, which may be representative or not of a time information, this sign being made visible to a user, through an opening of dial of the corresponding timepiece, only during at least a portion of the stealth rotation movement.
- jumping mechanisms are known in the state of the art, particularly in movements intended to drive one or the other of the time indicating organs jumping or intermittent manner.
- many movements of the type called “dead second” are known in which the indicator member of the second is driven by jumps at a lower frequency than that of the time base of the movement, typically an escapement.
- US Pat. No. 2,591,876 discloses an embodiment of such a movement.
- these mechanisms implement two wheels, one of which is driven continuously by the work train and the other only intermittently, by the discharge of an elastic member loading between two successive jumps, under the effect of the continuous rotation of the first wheel.
- Locking means similar to an escape anchor are conventionally used to retain the second wheel between two movements, by interaction with a toothing thereof.
- the present invention has the main purpose of providing an alternative, compact and reliable, known mechanisms of the prior art.
- Another object of the present invention is to display information furtively, with a speed that allows to ensure visibility.
- the invention relates to a watch movement of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the first mobile comprises a cam, coaxial and secured to the first wheel, arranged to act on the locking means during each period, to unlock them temporarily and to allow a furtive rotation of the second mobile of a predefined angle, under the effect of the elastic member.
- the movement is further characterized in that its mechanism also comprises a retarder device cooperating with the second mobile so as to limit its stealth rotation speed.
- the watch movement can be of any type and any level of complication known without its intermittent drive mechanism indicator indicates a significant constraint to its manufacturer.
- the second mobile comprises a control wheel in the periphery of which is formed the stopping zone, in the form of a notch.
- the locking means comprise one, preferably two, long springs, a free end is arranged to cooperate with this notch to ensure the rotational locking of the control wheel.
- the cam preferably has a general shape of disc of predetermined radius, less than an activation radius, defined between the axis of rotation of the second mobile and the bottom of the notch, the cam further comprising a finger located at a distance from the axis of rotation greater than the activation radius and for pushing the free end of or of one of the long springs at each period.
- the indicator member is made of a transparent material and bears a sign representing a shooting star, the latter being superimposed on a disc indicating the phases of the Moon. Thanks to these particular characteristics, the watch movement offers an exclusive animation to the wearer of the corresponding watch, by superimposing on a display member a temporal information.
- the present invention also relates to a timepiece in which such a movement is implemented.
- FIG. 1 presented by way of nonlimiting example and, representing a schematic view of above a preferred embodiment of a part of the movement according to the present invention, including the mechanism for transmitting a periodic stealth rotation movement to an indicator member.
- Figure 1 partially shows a center wheel 1 driven clockwise and meshing, via two referrals 2 and 3, with a first mobile 4.
- the first mobile comprises a pinion 5 connected to a cam 6, in a coaxial manner, and carries a first end (not visible) of a spiral spring 7.
- the cam has a general shape of disc, of predefined radius, of which part of the periphery is elongated to define a finger 8. Thus, in the central region of his finger, the cam has a radius greater than its mean radius.
- the other end 9 of the spiral spring is attached to a second mobile 10 coaxially mounted to the first mobile. More precisely the end 9 is secured to a pin 11 carried by a control wheel 12 of the second mobile. The latter also comprises a lower wheel 13 coaxial and secured to the control wheel 12.
- the control wheel has a notch 14 for alternately receiving the free ends 15 and 16, diametrically opposite, two arms 17, 18 of a U-shaped double long spring 19.
- the two arms 17 and 18 extend from a common base 20, fixedly mounted on a frame member of the movement by means of a screw 21.
- the long springs provide a locking function by interaction with the notch defining a stopping zone of the control wheel.
- the rotation of the pinion 5 in the counterclockwise direction has the effect of cocking the spiral spring 7 until the finger 8 of the cam 6 comes to lift the free end 15 of the first arm 17 of the spring 19
- the control wheel 12 is thus released and, subjected to the action of the spiral spring 7, is rapidly driven by 180 ° in the counter-clockwise direction until the free end 16 of the second arm 18 of the spring 19 falls into his indentation 14 and immobilizes him.
- the speed of rotation of the control wheel is determined by the force of the spiral spring 7 as well as its pre-setting angle.
- an activation radius is defined as corresponding to the distance separating the center of the cam from the bottom of the notch, it is sufficient for the radius of the cam in the region of its finger to be greater than this radius. activation so that it can lift the free ends of the arms 17, 18.
- the control wheel 12 drives the lower wheel 13.
- the latter meshes with the pinion (not visible) of a wheel whose wheel 23 meshes with itself.
- external teeth of an indicator member comprising a wheel 24, or toothed disk, carrying a metallization 25 which represents a shooting star.
- the mechanism is designed so that this half-turn rotation of the wheel 23 rotates the metallization of an entire turn in the counter-clockwise direction.
- the gear ratio of the system can be chosen such that the fast movement of the shooting star occurs every six minutes, for example.
- the disk 24 carrying the shooting star 25 is sapphire and disposed in front of the disk 26 of a moon phase display mechanism, well known to those skilled in the art. The rest position of the star is obviously hidden under the dial.
- the arms or long springs 17, 18 also act as a retarder device of the control wheel when released. to make a U-turn.
- Their free ends 15, 16 thus have shapes, represented in a non-limiting manner, particularly adapted both to the locking of the control wheel and to the exercise of a predetermined friction force to adjust its speed of rotation when is released.
- at each moment of operation of the illustrated movement at least one of the two free ends 15 and 16 is disposed in abutment on the periphery of the control wheel.
- the arrangement of the free ends 15, 16 so that they are substantially diametrically opposed relative to the control wheel 12 minimizes the stresses on the latter, particularly at its pivot. This particular feature contributes to improving the behavior over time of the mechanism according to the present invention.
- an additional leaf spring for example, arranged to have a permanent contact with the periphery of the control wheel.
- the skilled person can adapt the shape of the periphery of the control wheel to his own needs, without departing from the scope of this invention.
- a non-regular shape of this periphery makes it possible to vary the speed of rotation of the control wheel during a particular stealth rotation movement.
- the speed of movement of the shooting star next to a dial window of the corresponding timepiece can be adjusted so that it moves stealthily while being clearly visible to the wearer of the piece.
- the elastic member providing the connection between the first and second mobile can take a form other than that of a spiral spring, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- gear ratios and time values mentioned above are indicative and not limitative and can be adapted at will.
