Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oscillating mass for a portable instrument whose movements of the user make it possible to set said oscillating mass in motion to drive either an automatic winding device, for example that of a mainspring of a watch movement.
  • an automatic winding device for example that of a mainspring of a watch movement.
  • a generator capable of recharging a source of electrical energy of any other portable instrument.
  • the document CH 317 534 discloses a device in which a semicircular pendulum element is pivoted between two plates of the main oscillating mass to create the initial pulse.
  • the initial pulse is provided by a mobile charge (mercury, steel ball, etc ...) disposed in a housing formed inside the main oscillating mass.
  • the present invention therefore aims at overcoming the drawbacks of the aforementioned prior art by providing an oscillating mass comprising a primary mass and a secondary mass making it possible to give the initial impulse, of simple and economical construction, possibly being adaptable with little modification to an existing oscillating weight made in one piece.
  • the invention relates to an oscillating mass, designed to cause an initial pulse, then maintained by the natural movements of the wearer, while being relatively simple and economical construction. It comprises a primary oscillating mass integral with an axis driving a kinematic chain and at least one secondary mass movable relative to the primary mass to give shock by the initial pulse to the primary mass.
  • the invention is characterized in that the secondary mass constitutes a part assembled from the outside to the primary mass being able to have a displacement generating shock on stops arranged at the ends of a guide means located on the periphery of the said primary mass.
  • FIG. 1 the oscillating mass is represented at rest, that is to say when the user of a wristwatch equipped with such an oscillating mass makes no movement, or that he removed it from his wrist. It comprises two parts 10 and 20 movable relative to each other.
  • a first part which will subsequently be designated as "primary mass" 10, is integral with the motor axis 6 (represented only by its center line), which comprises, in a known manner, a pinion meshing with a kinematic chain to reassemble a barrel spring or to drive a generator to recharge a battery.
  • the primary mass 10 is composed of a one-piece reinforcement comprising a fixing ring 11 on the axis 6, and two arms 13a, 13b whose ends are joined by a serge 14.
  • the central part of the primary mass 10 has a recess 8 in the form of an annular sector which will allow the clearance of the secondary mass 20.
  • the secondary mass 20 is made in two elements, upper 22 and lower 24, assembled from outside on either side of the serge 14 by means of screws 23 or by any other equivalent means of attachment.
  • FIG. 5 shows that the lower element 24 has a thinned portion 26, whose only function is to leave a little more space to underlying mobiles. It will also be observed that the groove 21 could equivalently be formed in the lower member 24 if it had the "massive" shape shown in dashed lines.
  • the lower element 24 comprises lights 28 arranged at the level of the serge 14, being separated by solid zones 27, which reduces the friction surfaces with the said serge 14.
  • These solid zones 27 as well as the surfaces serge 14 may further have a deposit or coating to enhance tribological properties, such as an oil or grease film, a molybdenum sulfide coating, DLC (diamond like carbon) or the like.
  • Figure 2 shows the displacement of the secondary mass 20, even when the wearer makes a small amplitude movement.
  • FIG. 3 shows the shock produced at the end of travel of the secondary mass 20, which shock will cause the primary mass 10 to move.
  • FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment which differs from the previous embodiment in that the primary mass 10 is made with a separable serge 14, and in that the secondary mass 20 is made in one piece with a circular path corresponding to the groove 21 of the first embodiment.
  • the mass secondary 20 may also be formed of two pre-assembled elements, for example by welding. This secondary mass 20 is threaded onto the serge 14 which is then attached to the ends of the arms 13a, 13b by means of screws 15, or by any other equivalent means.
  • FIG. 7 represents a third embodiment in which the primary mass 10 is made in one piece and comprises a circular sector 9 in which is formed a slot 19 which serves as a means for guiding the secondary mass 20.
  • the secondary mass 20 is then made in two parts 22, 24 which are assembled by means of two screws 23 whose rods pass through the slot 19.
  • the circular sector 9 is shown solid, but it could also have an annular recess 8, as in the first embodiment of FIG. production.
  • FIG. 8 represents a fourth embodiment in which the secondary mass 20 is guided by a recess 18 formed in the thickness of the primary mass 10.
  • the recess 18 and a part of the secondary mass 20 are slid one in the other by means of a "dovetail" type assembly, the female part consisting of the recess 18 as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the primary mass 10 comprises at each end of the sector 9 a stop 12a 12b, one of these stops 12a being fixed by a screw 25. This makes it possible to slide the secondary mass 20 into the recess 18, and then to limit the deflection by aiming at the stop 12a. As we can see, this construction is particularly simple.
  • This dovetail assembly could also be made by inverting the male and female parts, as shown in FIG. 10.
  • the male and female parts could also have shapes other than trapezoidal, for example an open circular shape as shown in FIG. figure 11.
  • FIG. 12 represents a fifth embodiment which differs from the previous embodiments essentially in that the secondary mass is composed of two completely independent masses 20a, 20b.
  • the primary mass 10 is composed of an armature constituted by a fixing ring 11 on the motor shaft 6, said ring being extended by a single arm 13 joining the median portion of a serge 14 made in two parts 14a , 14b.
  • Each portion 14a, 14b constitutes a means for guiding the secondary masses 20a, 20b which are slidably mounted thereon.
  • the clearance of the secondary masses 20a, 20b is limited by stops 12a, 12b held in the ends of the half-serrations 14a, 14b by screws 25.
