Pièce d'horlogerie permettant d'afficher des indications dans un guichet Timepiece for displaying indications in a window
Domaine techniqueTechnical area
La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'horlogerie, en particulier les piècesd'horlogerie permettant d'afficher desindications dans un guichet.The present invention relates to the field of watchmaking, particularly timepieces for displaying indications in a window.
Bat de la techniqueBat of the technique
Des montres et mouvementsde montre permettant d'afficher des indications sous forme de symboles numériques dans un guichet sont connus en soi. Il est par exemple fréquent d'afficher le quantième, c' est-à-à- dire le jour du mois, sous la forme d'un chiff re dans un guichet. Des montres à plusieursguichets permettant d'afficher par exemple la dizaine desquantièmesdans un premier guichet et les unitésdans un autre guichet jouissent également d'un regain de popularité grâce à la lisibilité des indicationsque permet l'usage de chiffres plus grands.Watches and watch movements for displaying indications in the form of numerical symbols in a window are known per se. It is for example frequent to display the date, that is to say the day of the month, in the form of a figure in a window. Watches with several counters for displaying, for example, the tens of items in a first window and the units in another window also enjoy a new popularity thanks to the readability of the indications that allows the use of larger figures.
Lesindicationsaffichées à travers le guichet sont le plussouvent portées par un mobile, par exemple sousforme de disque, d'anneau, de croix, d'étoile, de polygone, etc, portant différentes indications numériques Le mobile est entraîné par le mouvement qui le fait avancer par pasd'indexation correspondant à l'écartement entre lesindications, afin dé faire apparaître l'indication requise à travers un guichet dans le cadran de la montre. Des mouvementsde montre peuvent aussi être imaginésdans lesquels les mobiles sont entraînésindépendamment des aiguilles et desautresindicateursde la montre au moyen d'un moteur pas- à-pasindépendant des moteursentraînant les aiguillesThe indications displayed through the window are most often carried by a mobile, for example under the form of disk, ring, cross, star, polygon, etc., bearing different numerical indications. The mobile is driven by the movement that moves it forward. by indexing step corresponding to the spacing between the indications, in order to make appear the required indication through a window in the dial of the watch. Watch movements can also be imagined in which the mobiles are driven independently of the needles andotherindicators of the watch by means of a motor not -independent of the motors driving the hands
Le document WO2005006087 décrit une montre munie d'un chronographe comprenant troisguichets pour l'affichage mécanique et numérique des minutes et des heures chronométrées Trois disques indexés portant des chiffrestournent derrière lesguichets pour fournir l'indication requise. Une autre montre à trois guichetsest décrite dans WO2002093273. L'emploi de troisguichets requiert toutefois une mécanique complexe et délicate. D'autre part, les guichets occupent une place importante sur le cadran.WO2005006087 discloses a watch provided with a chronograph comprising three guards for the mechanical and digital display of the minutes and hours timed Three indexed discs carrying cipherresurn behind the guts to provide the indication required. Another three-wicket watch is described in WO2002093273. The use of three wards, however, requires a complex and delicate mechanics. On the other hand, wickets occupy an important place on the dial.
Bien que l'affichage de symbolesdans un guichet soit apprécié et offre une lisibilité importante, il n'est pas possible d'augmenter le nombre de guichetsde manière illimitée sansimposer descontraintesd'esthétique et d'encombrement inacceptables Par conséquent, le nombre d'indications affichées dans les guichets est limité ; de nombreuses indications pourtant utiles ne sont pas affichées par manque de place sur le cadran.Although the display of symbols in a box is appreciated and offers significant readability, it is not possible to increase the number of wickets unlimited without imposing unacceptable limits of aesthetic and clutter Therefore, the number of indications displayed in the wickets is limited; many useful indications are not displayed for lack of space on the dial.
Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer une pièce d'horlogerie exempte de ces limitations, en particulier une pièce d'horlogerie qui fasse un meilleur usage desguichets et qui permette d'afficher davantage d'informationssans préjudice pour la lisibilité de l'affichage.An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a timepiece free from these limitations, in particular a timepiece which makes better use of the boxes and which allows to display more information without prejudice to the readability of the display.
Bref résumé de l'inventionBrief summary of the invention
Ces butssont notamment atteintsau moyen d'une pièce d'horlogerie comprenant au moins un mobile portant une séquence d'indicationssur sa surface, au moins un actuateur associé au mobile pour le faire tourner de manière indexée de manière à faire apparaître l'indication choisie parmi ladite séquence dans un guichet, et dans laquelle, pour au moins une des positionsd'indexation dudit mobile, plusieurs indicationsindépendantes l'une de l'autre sont affichées simultanément dans le même guichet.These aims are achieved by means of a timepiece comprising at least one mobile carrying a sequence of indications on its surface, at least one actuator associated with the mobile to rotate it indexed so as to reveal the indication selected from said sequence in a window, and in which, for at least one of the indexing positions of said mobile, several independent indications of one another are displayed simultaneously in the same window.
Cette solution a l'avantage de mieux utiliser l'espace d'affichage à l'intérieur desguichets, en affichant simultanément plusieursindications indépendantes Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, deux indications indépendantes l'une de l'autre mais dépendant toutesdeux du temps absolu sont affichées simultanément dans un même guichet.This solution has the advantage of making better use of the display space inside the boxes, simultaneously displaying several independent indications. In a preferred embodiment, two indications independent of one another but depending on both absolute time are displayed simultaneously in the same window.
La place à disposition sur un mobile de guichet est limitée, et il est difficilement possible d'y inscrire avec une taille suffisante toutes les possibilitésde combinaisons entre plusieursséquences comprenant chacune des nombreusesindications possibles. Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, une desséquencesd'indicationsest composée de plusieurs symboles numériquesou alphanumériquestandisque l'autre séquence indépendante comporte deux valeurs, par exemple {matin ; après-midi}, {enclenché ; déclenché}, ou {mode de fonctionnement 1 ; mode de fonctionnement 2}.The space available on a mobile wicket is limited, and it is hardly possible to register with sufficient size all possibilities of combinations between several sequences including each of the manyindications possible. In a preferred embodiment, an indicator sequence is composed of several numeric or alphanumeric symbols while the other independent sequence has two values, for example {morning; afternoon}, {switched on; triggered}, or {operating mode 1; operating mode 2}.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, une première indication, correspondant par exemple à un quantième ou un chiffre de quantième, est affichée sousforme de symbole numérique, tandisqu'une autre indication indépendante, représentant par exemple le matin ou l'après-midi, est représentée par un choix de couleur de symbole numérique ou du fond, ou par d'autressymboles non numériques et/ou non alphanumériques.In a preferred embodiment, a first indication, corresponding for example to a calendar or a date number, is displayed as a numerical symbol, while another independent indication, representing for example the morning or the afternoon, is represented by a choice of digital symbol color or background, or by other non-numeric and / or non-alphanumeric symbols.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, une deuxième indication est ajoutée uniquement à l'indication de dizaine de quantième d'un affichage à grande date. Le mobile de dizaine du quantième doit habituellement uniquement afficher les valeurs possiblesde 0 à 3, et il est donc possible de combiner cette séquence relativement courte avec une autre séquence, par exemple une séquence binaire, sansaugmenter de manière excessive le nombre de combinaisonsd'indicationsque doit afficher le mobile. Par ailleurs, la dizaine de quantième ne change que 4 fois par mois, au plus, en sorte que peu de rotationssont nécessaires pour afficher tout es les combinaisons d'indications possiblesIn a preferred embodiment, a second indication is added only to the ten-day indication of a large date display. The date tens of ten must usually display only the possible values from 0 to 3, and it is therefore possible to combine this relatively short sequence with another sequence, for example a binary sequence, without unduly increasing the number of combinations of indications that must be view the mobile. In addition, the ten or so dates change only four times a month, at most, so that few rotations are necessary to display all possible combinations of indications.
L'invention est également mise en œuvre au moyen d'une pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un affichage grande date dans laquelle les dizainesdu quantième sont affichésdifféremment, par exemple dans une autre ∞uleur, le matin et l'après-midi.The invention is also implemented by means of a timepiece comprising a large date display in which the Tens of the date are displayed differently, for example in another eraser, in the morning and in the afternoon.

Exemple(s) de mode de réalisation de l'inventionExample (s) of embodiment of the invention
Dans la suite de la description et des revendications, l'expression « pièce d'horlogerie » désigne par exemple une montre-bracelet, un mouvement pour montre-bracelet, ou un autre élément d'horlogerie pour une montre portable sur le corps. La description se réfère en particulier à une montre braceletIn the remainder of the description and the claims, the term "timepiece" designates, for example, a wristwatch, a wristwatch movement, or another timepiece for a portable watch on the body. The description refers in particular to a wristwatch
La montre 1 illustrée de face sur la figure 1 comporte une boîte 10 abritant un mouvement non représenté, de préférence un mouvement électronique à quartz, éventuellement un mouvement mécanique. Le cadran est muni de deux guichets230, 231 permettant d'afficher notamment le quantième (28 sur la figure) avec deux symboles distincts, ainsi que d'autresindications comme on le verra. L'heure est affichée de manière conventionnelle au moyen d'une aiguille des heures 20, d'une aiguille des minutes21 et d'une aiguille des secondes 22. Lestroisaiguilles sont disposées au centre et actionnées par un actuateur non représenté, par exemple un moteur pas-à-pas, ou de préférence par plusieurs moteurs pas-à-pas indépendants et de préférence bidirectionnels. D'autres moyens d'indication de l'heure, y comprisdes affichages alphanumériques ou des affichages permettant d'indiquer simultanément plusieursfuseaux horaires peuvent être employésdans le cadre de l'invention. L'invention peut par ailleursaussi être mise en œuvre avec des mouvements mécaniques, les actuateurs étant dansce cas constitués par des élémentsdu train d'engrenage.The watch 1 illustrated front in Figure 1 comprises a box 10 housing a movement not shown, preferably an electronic quartz movement, possibly a mechanical movement. The dial is provided with two windows230, 231 for displaying in particular the date (28 in the figure) with two distinct symbols, as well as other indications as will be seen. The hour is displayed in a conventional manner by means of an hour hand 20, a minute hand 21 and a second hand 22. The three needles are arranged in the center and actuated by a not shown actuator, for example an engine step-by-step, or preferably by several motors step-by-step independent and preferably bidirectional. Other means of time indication, including alphanumeric displays or displays for simultaneously indicating multiple time zones may be employed within the scope of the invention. The invention can also be implemented with mechanical movements, the actuators being in this case constituted by elements of the gear train.
La montre illustrée danscet exemple comporte en outre un réhaut 11 muni de 24 indications 110 de fuseaux horaires, chaque fuseau horaire étant signalé par un nom de ville. L'utilisateur peut changer le fuseau horaire affiché par les aiguilles 20, 21 et utilisé pour le calcul de la date et de l'indication matin/après-midi en déplaçant, dans un mode approprié, l'aiguille des secondes vers le fuseau horaire sélectionné au moyen d'actions appropriéessur les poussoirs A, B et sur la couronne de mise à l'heure et de changement de mode 102.The watch illustrated in this example further comprises a flange 11 provided with 24 indications 110 of time zones, each time zone being indicated by a city name. The user can change the time zone displayed by hands 20, 21 and used for calculating the date and the morning / afternoon indication by moving, in an appropriate mode, the seconds hand to the time zone. selected by means of appropriate actions on pushbuttons A, B and on the time setting and mode change ring 102.
La couronne 102 peut occuper trois positionsaxialesdistinctes, par exemple une position intermédiaire stable C=O (position de repos), une position enfoncée instable C= -1 pour entrer en mode alarme ou en mode fuseau horaire, et une position tirée C= +1 pour le réglage de la date et de l'heure. La couronne revient de préférence d'elle-même de la position enfoncée -1 à la position intermédiaire 0 lorsqu'elle est relâchée. Deux poussoirsA et B monostables sont en outre prévus.The ring 102 can occupy three different axial positions, for example a stable intermediate position C = O (rest position), an unstable pressed position C = -1 to enter alarm mode or time zone mode, and a drawn position C = +1 for setting the date and time. The crown preferably returns from itself from the depressed position -1 to the intermediate position 0 when it is released. Two pushers A and B monostable are further provided.
La figure 2 illustre le mobile 232 dont une portion est visible à travers le premier guichet 230. Le mobile 233 de la figure 3 est quant à lui destiné à être affiché à travers le deuxième guichet 231. Danscet exemple, lesdeux mobiles 232, 233 sont constitués par des anneaux rotatifs entraînés en rotation autour de leur centre, au moyen de chaînesde transmission non représentées. D'autresformesde mobiles, par exemple desdisques, peuvent être employées.FIG. 2 illustrates the mobile 232, a portion of which is visible through the first window 230. The mobile 233 of FIG. 3 is intended to be displayed through the second window 231. In this example, the two moving wheels 232, 233 are constituted by rotating rings driven in rotation about their center, by means of transmission chains not shown. Other mobile forms, for example disks, may be employed.
Lesdeux mobiles 232, 233 peuvent être entraînésdirectement ou indirectement par le moteur pas-à-pas actionnant notamment l'aiguille des heures. Dans une variante préférentielle, ces mobilessont entraînés, indépendamment de l'aiguille des heures et de préférence indépendamment l'un de l'autre, au moyen d'actuateurs constitués par des moteurs pas-à-pas indépendants des moteurs actionnant les aiguilles et de préférence bidirectionnelsThe two moving wheels 232, 233 can be driven directly or indirectly by the stepper motor actuating in particular the needle of the hours. In a preferred embodiment, these mobiles are driven, independently of the hour hand and preferably independently of one another, by means of actuators consisting of stepper motors independent of the motors actuating the needles and of bidirectional preference
Le premier mobile 232 porte une séquence d'indications2320, 2321 2322 sur sa surface. Les indications 2320 et 2321 correspondent dans cet exemple à desdizainesdu quantième (jour du mois), et peuvent donc prendre lesvaleursO (pouvant aussi être représenté par un espace), 1 , 2 ou 3. Selon l'invention, chaque valeur possible desdizainesde quantième est inscrite deux fois, de deux façonsdifférentes, sur le mobile 232. La première série d'indications2320 est utilisée danscet exemple le matin, tandisque la deuxième série d'indicationsest employée l'après-midi. Lesdeux types d'indications2320, 2321 se distinguent l'une de l'autre dans l'exemple illustré par la couleur du fond. Il est par exemple possible d'employer une couleur moca pour illustrer le matin, et une couleur jaune soleil pour l'après-midi. D'autres combinaisonsde couleur du fond peuvent bien entendu être employées. Il est aussi possible de distinguer le matin de l'après-midi par la couleur des symboles numériques, ou par la police employée le matin et l'après-midi, ou par dessymbolesgraphiquesou des indications alphabétiques (par exemple AM / PM) apposésà côté ou en superposition du symbole numérique de quantième. Ainsi, pour la plus grande partie des positionsd'indexation dudit mobile, une indication de dizaine de quantième est affichée en même tempsque l'indication matin ou après-midi dans le même guichet. Le disque de dizaine de quantième est ainsi indexé deux fois par jour : à midi dans un sens, et à minuit dans l'autre sens, sauf lorsdeschangementsde dizainesde quantième. L'usage d'un moteur pas-pas bidirectionnel pour entraîner ce mobile permet de réduire l'angle de rotation nécessaire à midi ou à minuit, et donc de commuter plus rapidement l'affichage dans le guichet 230 tout en réduisant la consommation électrique.The first mobile 232 carries a sequence of indications 2320, 2321 2322 on its surface. In this example, the indications 2320 and 2321 correspond to about two weeks of the day (day of the month), and can therefore take the values O (which can also be represented by a space), 1, 2 or 3. According to the invention, each possible date value of the two weeks is is entered twice, in two different ways, on the mobile 232. The first set of indications 2320 is used in this example in the morning, while the second set of indications is used in the afternoon. The two types of indications2320, 2321 are distinguishable from each other in the example illustrated by the background color. For example, it is possible to use a moca color to illustrate the morning, and a sun-yellow color for the afternoon. Other bottom color combinations may of course be employed. It is also possible to distinguish the morning of the afternoon by the color of the numerical symbols, or by the font used in the morning and the afternoon, or by graphical symbols or alphabetical indications (for example AM / PM) affixed to the side. or in superimposition of the digital date symbol. Thus, for most of the indexing positions of said mobile, a date indication of ten days is displayed at the same time as the morning or afternoon indication in the same window. The ten-day record is thus indexed twice a day: at noon in one direction, and at midnight in the other direction, except during changes of tens of days. The use of a bidirectional stepper motor to drive this mobile reduces the rotation angle required at noon or midnight, and thus to switch the display more quickly in the window 230 while reducing power consumption.
Le mobile 232 porte encore pour certaines positionsd'indexation des icônes 2322 illustrant un mode de fonctionnement de la montre. Dans l'exemple illustré, deux icônesindiquant un mode « alarme on » ou « alarme off » sont employées Ces icônes peuvent par exemple être affichées à travers le guichet 230 lorsque la pièce d'horlogerie est en mode de réglage de l'heure d'alarme ; l'activation ou la désactivation de l'alarme est alors effectuée au moyen d'un bouton-poussoir A, B ou de la couronne, et immédiatement illustrée par une rotation correspondante du mobile 232.The mobile 232 still carries for certain indexing positions icons 2322 illustrating a mode of operation of the watch. In the illustrated example, two icons indicating an "alarm on" or "alarm off" mode are used These icons can for example be displayed through the window 230 when the timepiece is in alarm time setting mode ; activation or deactivation of the alarm is then performed by means of a pushbutton A, B or the crown, and immediately illustrated by a corresponding rotation of the mobile 232.
Le deuxième mobile 233 illustré sur la figure 3 porte une seule séquence d'indications2330 correspondant aux unitésdu quantième. Il est bien entendu également possible de combiner ces indications avec des indicationsindépendantes, par exemple desindicationsdépendant du temps absolu qui peuvent être représentées par des symboles non numériquesThe second mobile 233 illustrated in FIG. 3 carries a single sequence of indications 2330 corresponding to the date units. It is of course also possible to combine these indications withindependent indications, for example indications depending on the absolute time which can be represented by non-numerical symbols
Lesindicationsde matin ou d'après-midi portées par le mobile 232 peuvent se rapporter à l'heure en cours affichée par les aiguilles 20-22, mais aussi à une autre heure, par exemple à l'heure de réglage de l'alarme ou à l'heure d'un autre fuseau horaire affiché temporairement par les aiguilles 20 à 22 ou par d'autres aiguillesou indicateurs non représentés The morning or afternoon indications carried by the mobile 232 may refer to the current time displayed by the hands 20-22, but also to another time, for example at the time of setting the alarm or at the time of another time zone temporarily displayed by hands 20 to 22 or by other needles or indicators not shown
