Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece such as a wristwatch. More specifically, the invention relates to such a timepiece capable of displaying the hours and minutes by means of four drums kinematically linked to each other, the first of which indicates the units of the minutes, the second the tens of minutes, the third the units of hours and the fourth the tens of hours. This gives a digital display twenty-four hours of the current time.
  • Timepieces with a digital display of the time of the aforementioned kind are already known from the prior art.
  • a first category of these timepieces includes only three drums, namely a drum for minute units, a drum for tens of minutes and a drum for hours.
  • the drum for the hours comprises the markings of "0" to "23" to allow the display of the twenty-four hours of a day.
  • the drum for the hours comprises the markings from "0" to "12" to allow an hour display of the "meridium” type “AM”, post meridium “PM”.
  • the drum has only thirteen markings and can therefore be expected smaller.
  • not everyone is accustomed to a display of the English type "AM”, "PM” and some people may have difficulty reading the time.
  • a second category of digital timepieces includes four drums, namely a drum for minute units, a drum for tens of minutes, a drum for hour units and a drum for tens of hours.
  • Such timepieces make it possible to display the twenty-four hours of a day by means of drums of smaller dimensions comprising at most ten markings of "0" to "9".
  • these are timepieces such as electric clocks, each drum is driven individually by a motor. It is therefore difficult to integrate such an electric mechanism in a timepiece of the wristwatch type.
  • the document US 2,734,338 discloses a drum time display mechanism comprising a first drum indicating the seconds, a second drum indicating the minute units, a third drum indicating the tens of minutes, a fourth drum indicating the units of the hours and a fifth, and last drum indicating the tens of hours.
  • the fourth drum of this time display mechanism which indicates the units of the hours is not able, at midnight passage, to pass directly from the graduation "3" to the graduation "0" without going through the graduation "4".
  • the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks as well as others by providing a timepiece with digital display comprising four drums in which a solution is provided to the passage of the digital display from 23:59 to 00:00.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a mechanical or electromechanical movement and provided with a digital display with four drums kinematically linked to each other, the first of these drums indicating the minute units by means of a graduation (0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9), the second indicating the tens of minutes by means of a graduation (0-1-2-3-4-5), the third indicating the hours units by means of a graduation (0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9) and the fourth indicating the tens of hours by means of at least one graduation (0-1-2), the four drums thus providing a digital display of the current time over twenty-four hours, the third drum comprising first means which cooperate with second means carried by the fourth drum to allow the third the drum to advance one tick per hour in normal time and move from graduation "3" to graduation "0" during the passage of the display from 23:59 to 24:00 characterized in that the first means comprise a differential mechanism with two inputs, a first input being constituted by the movement of the watch, and the second input being
  • the present invention provides a timepiece with digital display by means of drums capable of displaying the time over twenty-four hours and manage the passage of the display from 23:59 to 00:00.
  • the digital display mechanism with drums according to the invention can be integrated in any type of timepiece and, in particular, in a wristwatch.
  • the present invention thus provides a wristwatch whose digital nature and purely mechanical display of the current time has an original character that differs clearly from conventional time displays by means of needles.
  • the second means comprise a gear train which releases the second differential input only when the display changes from 23:59 to 00:00.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of providing a timepiece comprising a four-drum digital time display in which a compact solution allowing its arrangement in a wristwatch is brought to the passage of the watch. digital display from 23:59 to 00:00.

It is therefore important to insert a reversal switch 508 of the direction of the differential 504 between the first input gear 502 and a satellite wheel 510 to find the right direction of rotation of the drum of the hour units 416 and the advance of a not the latter.
  • the principle of driving the drum tens of hours 512 is the same as for other drums.
  • the axis of the hour units 414 carries the drum of the hour units 416 which performs a complete revolution in twelve hours. It also carries a trainer of dozens of hours 514 comprising two truncated teeth 516 on a number of twenty teeth and a limit disk tens of hours 518 having a notch 520 indexed on the spacing between the two teeth 516 of the coach dozens of hours 514.
