Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elastic holding member for watchmaking, more particularly to a member making it possible to hold a clockwork component on a fixed or movable support element, such as an axis, by elastic clamping of the support element. .
  • Such elastic holding members are described in the documents EP 1,513,029 , EP 1 584 994 , and EP 1,515,200 , where they are respectively in the form of a ferrule for fixing the inner end of a spiral to the axis of a rocker, and a clamp for fixing the outer end of a spiral to a piton.
  • the present invention aims to further improve these elastic holding members by making them capable of exerting a larger clamping force and / or to further deform.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 , 7 to 9 show different embodiments of an elastic holding member according to the invention, for the maintenance of a timepiece component such as a wheel or a spiral on a support member such as an axis or a stud.
  • the elastic holding member constitutes the central part of a toothed wheel 1.
  • This elastic holding member comprises three elastic arms 2 in equilateral triangle, defined by openings 3 and a central opening 4 formed in the wheel 1.
  • central opening 4 is intended to receive an axis 5 of circular section.
  • the axis 5 has a diameter greater than the diameter of the circle inscribed in the triangular contour of the opening 4, so that it deforms the arms 2 elastically when it is introduced into the opening 4, allowing the wheel 1 being held on the axis 5 by the elastic clamping exerted on it by the arms 2.
  • the wheel 1 is thus mounted on the axis 5, the latter is in contact with the elastic arms 2 at three distinct points, distributed at 120 °.
  • the elastic arms 2 in contact with the axis 5 have a variable width to better distribute the stresses exerted by the axis 5 along each of these arms 2.
  • the width of each arm 2 has maxima L0, L1 and L2 (cf. figure 2 ) respectively at the center and at the two ends of the arm 2 and the minima L3 and L4 substantially midway between the center and the two ends of the arm 2, respectively.
  • maxima L0, L1 and L2 are equal to each other and the minima L3 and L4 are equal to each other, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the width (L0, L1, L2) is large, which locally increases the resistance of the arms 2 and reduces the stress experienced by the latter, and where the arms 2 are subjected to a stress of small intensity or zero intensity, namely substantially mid-distance between their center and their two ends respectively, the width (L3, L4) is small, which promotes the deformation (or arrow) of the arms 2 by the axis 5.
  • a holding member with elastic arms of constant width such as the ferrule according to EP 1,513,029 or the clip according to EP 1,515,200
  • a variable width of the arms 2 makes it possible for them to undergo, for example, a greater force for the same deformation (or deflection) of said arms (with a width L 0, L 1, L 2 greater than the width of the arms of the organ for maintaining the clamping force of the axis 5, or a larger deformation for the same force exerted on the axis 5 (with a width L0, L1, L2 equal to the width arms of the holding member with elastic arms of constant width), to make the holding member 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 constant width holding members with elastic arms.
  • the resilient retaining member according to the invention constitutes the central part of a disc 7, for example a display disc carrying inscriptions (not shown), such as a moon phase display disk or date, and comprises elastic arms 8 of variable width similar to the arms 2 of the wheel 1.
  • the elastic holding member according to the invention constitutes the central part of a recessed toothed wheel 10, and is in the form of a ring 11 connected to the periphery of the wheel 10 by rigid arms 12 distributed at 120 ° and separated by three large lights 13.
  • the ring 11 comprises three elastic arms 14 variable width identical to the arm 2 of the wheel 1 and allowing an elastic driving of the wheel 10 on an axis 15.
  • the ring 11 also comprises a peripheral structure of stiffening 16 connected to the elastic arms 14 and to the rigid arms 12.
  • the elastic holding member according to the invention constitutes the central part of a hollow disc 18, such as a display disc, having the same shape as the wheel 10 but without the toothing.
  • a ferrule 20 to which is attached the inner end 21 of a spiral spring is intended to be driven elastically on the axis 22 of a beam.
  • the ferrule 20 has substantially the same shape as the ring 11 of the wheel 10.
  • the elastic holding member is a clamp 24 to which is attached the outer end 25 of a spiral spring and for fixing the outer end 25 to a fixed support member or "piton" 26 to circular section.
  • the clamp 24 is closed and has two resilient arms, namely an inner arm 27, closer to the center of the hairspring, and an outer arm 28, further from the center of the hairspring.
  • the inner arm 27 has a generally convex general shape.
  • the outer arm 28 consists of two parts of equal length forming an angle between them.
  • the opening 29 of the clamp 24 thus has a substantially triangular shape isosceles, and can deform elastically to receive and tighten the stud 26.
  • the elastic arms 27, 28 of the clip 24 have a variable width, which has maxima at the center and at the ends of each arm 27, 28 and minima substantially midway between the center and said ends.
  • the elastic holding member according to the invention is another form of clamp 31 to which is attached the outer end 32 of a spiral spring and for fixing the outer end 32 to a pin 33.
  • the clamp 31 comprises an elastic outer arm 34 of variable width having a generally convex general shape and an inner elastic arm 35.
  • the inner elastic arm 35 also has a variable width.
  • the inner arm 35 comprises, in two symmetrical parts of large width, lights 36 which define a deformable V acting as a support for the stud 33 and defining therewith two contact points 37.
  • third point of contact 38 with the pin 33 is defined by the central portion of the outer arm 34.
  • the shape of the inner arm 35 of the clamp 31 is such that the stresses exerted by the pin 33 on this arm 35 are distributed substantially homogeneously in the arm 35.
  • the tip of the V joins in the central portion 39 arm 35, a substantially straight portion 40 of the arm 35 separated from the V by the slots 36, and the ends of the V are connected to this substantially straight portion 40 at points 41 of the arm 35 located substantially midway between the center 39 and the ends of the arm 35, i.e. at points where the stresses are the lowest.
  • the elastic holding member according to the invention is another form of clamp 43 to which is attached the outer end 44 of a spiral spring and for fixing the outer end 44 to a stud 45.
  • This clamp 43 differs of the clip 24 illustrated in the figure 7 in that only the outer arm 46 is elastically deformable, the inner arm 47 having a width large enough to make it substantially rigid.
  • the timepiece component (toothed wheels 1, 10, discs 7, 18, spirals 21, 25, 32, 44) to be fixed on a support element (axes 5, 15, 22, pegs 26, 33, 45) is in one piece with its elastic holding member, and is made of a silicon-based material.
  • the resilient clamping on the support member by the elastic holding member is sufficient to maintain the clock component in a fixed axial and angular position relative to the support during assembly and operation of the watch. It is nevertheless possible, in those cases where it is desired, to provide on the support element an axial abutment (bearing) against which the clock component would be supported. A washer could also be applied against the clock component and be fixed on the support member, for example by driving, to block the clockwork component bearing against the axial stop.
