Le cadran possède une ouverture permettant de visualiser une seule des complications du mouvement horloger, l'action d'un poussoir faisant pivoter ledit cadran afin de pouvoir visualiser une autre complication ou une image.The present invention relates to the field of watchmaking, more particularly to a watch module comprising a rotary dial adjustable on a watch movement. The dial has an opening for viewing one of the complications of the watch movement, the action of a pusher pivoting said dial to view another complication or image.

La plupart des montres mécaniques dites à complications indique d'autres informations que la simple lecture de l'heure. Certaines complications telle que l'indication de la réserve de marche d'une montre, d'un quantième perpétuel ou encore de la phase de lune par exemple sont disposées sur le cadran d'une montre. L'association de plusieurs complications dans une montre peut surcharger le cadran pouvant rendre la lecture d'une information difficile L'accumulation de plusieurs informations peut également avoir un impact négatif sur la sobriété de la montre.Most complicated mechanical watches indicate other information than simply reading the time. Certain complications such as the indication of the power reserve of a watch, a perpetual calendar or the moon phase, for example, are arranged on the dial of a watch. The combination of several complications in a watch can overload the dial can make the reading of information difficult The accumulation of several information can also have a negative impact on the sobriety of the watch.

Le but de la présente Invention est de proposer un module horloger comportant un cadran rotatif ajustable sur un mouvement horloger, ledit cadran rotatif possédant une ouverture permettant de visualiser qu'une seule information à la fois afin d'une part de faciliter la lecture de l'information et d'autre part d'assurer une certaine sobriété de la montre,The purpose of the present invention is to propose a watch module comprising a rotary dial that can be adjusted to a watch movement, said rotary dial having an opening making it possible to display only one piece of information at a time in order to facilitate the reading of the watch. information and on the other hand to ensure a certain sobriety of the watch,

Conformément à l'invention, ce but est atteint grâce à un module horloger comportant un cadran rotatif comprenant une ouverture permettant de visualiser une complication. Ce cadran rotatif est monté de manière rotative sur un cadran de base par l'intermédiaire d'un organe annulaire à basse friction. Ledit cadran rotatif peut être pivoté d'un certain angle par l'action d'un poussoir afin de pouvoir visualiser une autre complication ou image à travers l'ouverture. De préférence, la désolidarisation du cadran rotatif du cadran de base est réalisée lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur le poussoir, la rotation du cadran rotatif étant déclanchée lorsque le poussoir revient à sa position de repos.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a watch module comprising a rotary dial comprising an opening for viewing a complication. This rotary dial is rotatably mounted on a base dial via a low-friction annular member. The rotary dial may be pivoted at a certain angle by the action of a pusher to view another complication or image through the opening. Preferably, the detuning of the rotary dial of the base dial is performed when pressure is exerted on the pusher, the rotation the rotary dial being triggered when the pusher returns to its rest position.

Selon le mode d'exécution principal de la présente Invention, le module horloger comporte le cadran rotatif (1) comprenant l'ouverture (2). Ledit cadran (1) est agencé de manière rotative sur le cadran de base (3) par l'intermédiaire d'un roulement à bille (4). Le cadran de base (3) comporte quatre ouvertures (5) positionnées chacune à 90 degrés destinées à laisser apparaître quatre complications du mouvement horloger.According to the main embodiment of the present invention, the watch module comprises the rotary dial (1) comprising the opening (2). Said dial (1) is rotatably arranged on the base dial (3) via a ball bearing (4). The base dial (3) has four openings (5) each positioned at 90 degrees to reveal four complications of the watch movement.

Le cadran rotatif (1) comporte sur la face inférieure d'une part un élément annulaire (6) en son centre sur lequel sont positionnées à intervalle régulier les quatre goupilles d'entraînement (7) et d'autre part les quatre autres goupilles de butées (8) positionnées en sa périphérie également à intervalle régulier, ceci en correspondance avec les goupilles d'entraînement (7).The rotary dial (1) has on the lower face on the one hand an annular element (6) at its center on which are positioned at regular intervals the four drive pins (7) and on the other hand the other four pins of stops (8) positioned at its periphery also at regular intervals, this in correspondence with the drive pins (7).

Chacune des quatre goupilles d'entraînement (7) est destinée à être entraînée par un mécanisme instantané, qui sera décrit ultérieurement, afin d'assurer la rotation du cadran rotatif (1) de 90 degrés lorsqu'un poussoir (9, 9') est actionné. Chacune des goupilles de butées (8) est quant à elle destinée à stopper la rotation du cadran rotatif (1) lorsque celui-ci a effectué une rotation de 90 degrés.Each of the four drive pins (7) is intended to be driven by an instantaneous mechanism, which will be described later, to ensure the rotation of the rotary dial (1) by 90 degrees when a pusher (9, 9 ') is operated. Each of the stop pins (8) is intended to stop the rotation of the rotary dial (1) when it has rotated 90 degrees.

Dans la mesure où le module horloger comporte deux systèmes de commande identiques placés de façon symétrique par rapport à l'axe 3H/9H, l'un entraînant la rotation du cadran rotatif (1) dans le sens horaire et l'autre l'entraînant dans le sens antihoraire, seule l'action de l'un de ces systèmes sera décrite.Since the watch module has two identical control systems positioned symmetrically with respect to the 3H / 9H axis, one of which rotates the rotary dial (1) clockwise and the other causes it to rotate. counterclockwise, only the action of one of these systems will be described.

Le système de commande qui a pour but de faire pivoter le cadran rotatif (1) du module dans le sens horaire comporte les séquences suivantes :

  • le poussoir (9) actionne une bascule de transmission (10) qui transmet un mouvement rectiligne à une tige (11) jusqu'à ce que l'une de ses extrémités actionne une bascule dite de butée (12) ;
  • sous l'action de ladite tige (11), cette bascule (12), qui comporte un doigt d'arrêt (13) pouvant librement basculer autour d'un axe de rotation (14) entre deux goupilles (15) limitant le débattement du doigt (13), pivote afin de désengager momentanément le doigt d'arrêt (13) d'une des goupilles de butées (8) (Figure 5) ;
  • sous l'action d'un ressort de rappel (16) agencé sur la tige (11), celle-ci est animée d'un mouvement rectiligne opposé lorsque le poussoir (9) n'est plus actionné, ce qui amène un crochet (17) solidaire de la tige (11) en contact avec l'une des goupilles d'entraînement (7);
  • sous l'impulsion du ressort de rappel (16) le crochet (17) entraîne la goupille d'entraînement (7) occasionnant ainsi la rotation du cadran rotatif (1) dans le sens horaire (Figure 6) ;
  • la tige (11) retourne ensuite dans sa position de repos ;
  • à ce moment, sous l'action d'une lame ressort (18), la bascule de butée (12) a repris sa position initiale permettant ainsi l'arrêt de la prochaine goupille de butée (8) par le doigt d'arrêt (13) lorsque le cadran rotatif (1) aura pivoté de 90 degrés.
The control system which is intended to rotate the rotary dial (1) of the module in the clockwise direction comprises the following sequences:
  • the pusher (9) actuates a transmission latch (10) which transmits a rectilinear motion to a rod (11) until one of its ends actuates a so-called stop rocker (12);
  • under the action of said rod (11), this rocker (12), which comprises a stop finger (13) freely swingable about an axis of rotation (14) between two pins (15) limiting the deflection of the finger (13) pivots to temporarily disengage the stop finger (13) from one of the stop pins (8) (Figure 5);
  • under the action of a return spring (16) arranged on the rod (11), it is animated by an opposite rectilinear movement when the pusher (9) is no longer actuated, which brings a hook ( 17) secured to the rod (11) in contact with one of the drive pins (7);
  • under the impulse of the return spring (16) the hook (17) drives the drive pin (7) thus causing rotation of the rotary dial (1) clockwise (Figure 6);
  • the rod (11) then returns to its rest position;
  • at this moment, under the action of a spring blade (18), the stop rocker (12) has resumed its initial position thus allowing the stop pin (8) to stop by the stop finger ( 13) when the rotary dial (1) will have rotated 90 degrees.

Lorsqu'il est actionné, le poussoir (9) enclenche la rotation instantanée du cadran rotatif (1) par le biais des diverses séquences susmentionnées, Cependant, lorsque l'une des goupilles de butées (8) est stoppée par le doigt d'arrêt (13), le cadran rotatif (1), ayant effectué une rotation de 90 degrés, se retrouve dans une position instable, Pour palier à ce problème, le cadran rotatif (1) comporte sur son pourtour quatre bossages (19) associés aux goupilles de butées (8). Ceux-ci sont destinés à venir se positionner à tour de rôle dans un logement (20) situés sur une lame ressort (21) assurant ainsi la stabilité du cadran rotatif (1). Cette lame ressort (21) est agencée dans un dégagement (non illustré) se trouvant dans le cadran de base (3).When actuated, the pusher (9) engages the instantaneous rotation of the rotary dial (1) through the various sequences mentioned above, however, when one of the stop pins (8) is stopped by the stop finger (13), the rotary dial (1), having rotated 90 degrees, is found in an unstable position, To overcome this problem, the rotary dial (1) has on its periphery four bosses (19) associated with the pins stops (8). These are intended to be positioned in turn in a housing (20) located on a spring blade (21) thereby ensuring the stability of the rotary dial (1). This leaf spring (21) is arranged in a recess (not shown) in the base dial (3).

Ce dernier comporte une ouverture (22) (Figure 1) supplémentaire à 10H afin de positionner le doigt (13) de la bascule dite de butée (12) au niveau des goupilles de butée (8).The latter has an opening (22) (Figure 1) additional to 10H to position the finger (13) of the so-called stop rocker (12) at the stop pins (8).

Le crochet (17) est librement ajusté sur la tige (11) autour d'un axe (23) perpendiculaire à cette dernière (Figure 3). Un ressort (24) est vissé sur ladite tige (11) de sorte que l'une de ses extrémités appuie sur le talon du crochet (17) forçant sa position en saillie à 90 degrés par rapport à la tige (11). Le crochet (17) peut ainsi se rabattre au contact d'une des quatre goupils d'entraînement (7) évitant ainsi le blocage de la tige (11) lorsque le poussoir (9) est actionné.The hook (17) is freely fitted on the rod (11) about an axis (23) perpendicular to the latter (Figure 3). A spring (24) is screwed onto said rod (11) so that one of its ends presses on the heel of the hook (17) forcing its projecting position at 90 degrees relative to the rod (11). The hook (17) can thus be folded in contact with one of the four drive pins (7) thus preventing the locking of the rod (11) when the pusher (9) is actuated.

Les divers éléments constitutifs du système de commande décrit ci-dessus et du système de commande qui a pour but de faire pivoter le cadran rotatif (1) du module dans le sens antihoraire par l'action d'un poussoir (9') sont agencés sur une platine (24) qui est destinée à être positionnée directement sur le mouvement horloger. Ladite platine (24) comporte des ouvertures (25) en correspondance avec les ouvertures (5) du cadran de base (3) afin de laisser apparaître les quatre complications du mouvement horloger.The various components of the control system described above and the control system which is intended to rotate the rotary dial (1) of the module in the counterclockwise direction by the action of a pusher (9 ') are arranged on a plate (24) which is intended to be positioned directly on the watch movement. Said platen (24) has openings (25) corresponding to the openings (5) of the base dial (3) to reveal the four complications of the watch movement.

La forme et le positionnement de manière symétrique des deux bascules de transmission (10, 10') permettent d'actionner uniquement un poussoir (9, 9') à la fois, une pression simultanée sur lesdits poussoirs bloquant les deux système de commande (Figure 7).The shape and the symmetrical positioning of the two transmission latches (10, 10 ') make it possible to actuate only one pusher (9, 9') at a time, a simultaneous pressure on said pushers blocking the two control system (FIG. 7).

Le mode de réalisation n'est nullement limitatif et par conséquent le nombre de goupilles d'entraînement et de butée (7, 8) peut être inférieur ou supérieur à quatre afin de varier l'angle de rotation du cadran rotatif (1) lorsque le poussoir (9) est actionné. Les intervalles entre lesdites goupilles d'entraînements et de butée (7, 8) peut ne pas être régulier. Par ailleurs, des motifs peuvent remplacer une ou plusieurs complications du mouvement horloger.The embodiment is in no way limitative and therefore the number of drive and stop pins (7, 8) may be less than or greater than four in order to vary the rotation angle of the rotary dial (1) when the pusher (9) is actuated. The intervals between said drive and stop pins (7, 8) may not be regular. In addition, patterns can replace one or more complications of the watch movement.
