Description

*La présente invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un affichage des quantièmes comprenant un disque des quantièmes muni de 31 dents en prise avec un sautoir de positionnement et avec un mobile en liaison cinématique avec un mobile de minuterie de la pièce d'horlogerie pour entraîner ce disque pas à pas une fois par 24 heures.The present invention relates to a timepiece provided with a date display comprising a date disc equipped with 31 teeth in engagement with a positioning jumper and with a mobile in kinematic connection with a moving part timer. to drive this record step by step once every 24 hours.

Il a déjà été proposé de nombreuses solutions pour s'affranchir de la servitude des affichages classiques des quantièmes pour pièces d'horlogerie, dans lesquels la taille des chiffres est limitée à 1/31e de la circonférence du disque des quantièmes ce qui, pour une montre-bracelet, devient souvent trop petit pour être aisément lisible à l'oeil nu.Many solutions have already been proposed to overcome the servitude of conventional displays of timepiece calendars, in which the size of the numerals is limited to 1/31 th of the circumference of the date disc which, for a wristwatch, often becomes too small to be easily readable to the naked eye.

C'est la raison pour laquelle on a déjà proposé d'afficher séparément les chiffres des unités et ceux des dizaines dans le but de ne plus être tributaire de la division du disque des quantièmes en 31 quantièmes. Ce problème est encore rendu plus aigu lorsque le guichet des quantièmes est sur l'axe 6 heures 12 heures du cadran, obligeant de mettre les chiffres des nombres de deux chiffres côte à côte, ce qui réduit encore leur taille à 1/53e de la circonférence.This is the reason why it has already been proposed to display separately the figures of the units and those of the tens in order to no longer be dependent on the division of the disk of the calendar days into 31 calendars. This problem is made more acute when the date window is on the 6 o'clock 12 o'clock axis, making it necessary to put the digits of the two-digit numbers side by side, which further reduces their size to 1/53 th of the circumference.

Parmi les nombreuses solutions proposées, on peut citer le EP 1 426 836 , le EP 1 070 996 , le EP 1 369 753 et le EP 0 529 191 . Tous ces mécanismes comportent deux disques mobiles, l'un portant les chiffres des unités, l'autre ceux des dizaines, conduisant à des mécanismes relativement complexes.Among the many solutions proposed, we can mention the EP 1 426 836 , the EP 1 070 996 , the EP 1 369 753 and the EP 0 529 191 . All these mechanisms comprise two mobile disks, one carrying the numbers of the units, the other those of the tens, leading to relatively complex mechanisms.

Le but de la présente invention, est de permettre l'affichage séparé des unités et des dizaines de quantièmes par un mécanisme simplifié.The purpose of the present invention is to allow the separate display of units and tens of dates by a simplified mechanism.

A cet effet, cette invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un affichage des quantièmes comprenant un disque des quantièmes muni de 31 dents en prise avec un sautoir de positionnement et avec un mobile en liaison cinématique avec un mobile de minuterie de la pièce d'horlogerie pour entraîner ce disque pas à pas une fois par 24 heures, selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, this invention relates to a timepiece provided with a date display comprising a date disc equipped with 31 teeth in engagement with a positioning jumper and with a mobile in kinematic connection with a timer mobile of the timepiece for driving this disc step by step once every 24 hours, according to claim 1.

Le dessin annexé illustre, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de la pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un affichage des quantièmes objet de la présente invention.

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée du dispositif d'affichage des quantièmes de la pièce d'horlogerie;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en plan de face avec partie arrachée de la pièce d'horlogerie;
  • la figure 3 est une vue semblable à la figure 2 dans une autre position du dispositif d'affichage;
  • la figure 4 est une vue semblable à la figure 2 dans une autre position du dispositif d'affichage;
  • la figure 5 est une vue semblable à la figure 2 dans une autre position du dispositif d'affichage.
The accompanying drawing illustrates, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment of the timepiece provided with a date display object of the present invention.
  • The figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the date display device of the timepiece;
  • the figure 2 is a front plan view with part torn from the timepiece;
  • the figure 3 is a view similar to the figure 2 in another position of the display device;
  • the figure 4 is a view similar to the figure 2 in another position of the display device;
  • the figure 5 is a view similar to the figure 2 in another position of the display device.

La figure 1 montre le rouage de minuterie d'une pièce d'horlogerie 1 qui comporte une roue à canon 2 engrenant avec un renvoi 3 lui-même engrenant avec une roue de quantièmes 4 munie d'un doigt d'entraînement 4a d'un disque de quantièmes 5, muni d'une denture de 31 dents. Le rapport d'engrenage est choisi pour que la roue de quantièmes 4 fasse un tour par 24 heures afin que son doigt 4a entraîne le disque de quantièmes d'un pas par 24 heures. Un sautoir 6 sert à positionner le disque de quantièmes 5 entre deux entraînements du doigt 4a.The figure 1 shows the clockwork of a timepiece 1 which comprises a barrel wheel 2 meshing with a return 3 itself meshing with a date wheel 4 provided with a drive finger 4a of a date disc 5, provided with a set of 31 teeth. The gear ratio is chosen so that the date wheel 4 makes a turn in 24 hours so that its finger 4a drives the date disc one step per 24 hours. A jumper 6 serves to position the date disk 5 between two drives of the finger 4a.

Un disque des dizaines 7 est fixé au disque de quantièmes 5 par l'intermédiaire d'une entretoise 8. Cette entretoise 8 est fixée par des vis 8a au disque de quantièmes 5 et le disque des dizaines 7 est fixé à l'entretoise 8 par des vis 7a. Le disque des dizaines 7 porte les chiffres 1 et 2 des dizaines 10 et 20. L'espace angulaire séparant ces chiffres des dizaines 10 et 20 l'un de l'autre correspond à dix pas angulaires du disque des quantièmes 5. Un index 7c, visible sur les figures 2 à 5, est encore disposé sur le disque des dizaines 7 à une distance angulaire de dix pas du disque des quantièmes 5 avec le chiffre 1 de la dizaine 10. Cet index 7c est adjacent à une fenêtre 7d située entre l'index 7c et le chiffre 2 de la dizaine 20.A tens disk 7 is fixed to the date disk 5 by means of a spacer 8. This spacer 8 is fixed by screws 8a to the date disk 5 and the tens disk 7 is fixed to the spacer 8 by screws 7a. The tens disk 7 bears the numbers 1 and 2 of the tens 10 and 20. The angular space separating these digits from the tens 10 and 20 of each other corresponds to ten angular steps of the date disk 5. An index 7c , visible on Figures 2 to 5 , is still arranged on the tens disk 7 at an angular distance of ten steps from the date disk 5 with the number 1 of the decade 10. This index 7c is adjacent to a window 7d located between the index 7c and the number 2 of the decade 20.

Un support intermédiaire annulaire 9 est fixé à la pièce d'horlogerie 1. Il présente une ouverture centrale 9a pour recevoir le disque des dizaines et porte une plaque en arc de cercle 9b à l'extrémité gauche de laquelle deux chiffres 3 de la dizaine 30 sont inscrits. Ce support intermédiaire annulaire 9 porte encore un pivot 9c destiné au pivotement d'un cache mobile 10 muni d'un ressort de rappel 10a qui maintient normalement ce cache 10 dans la position illustrée par la figure 3. Une goupille 7b portée par le disque des dizaines 7 sert à déplacer le cache 10 dans la position illustrée par la figure 2 dans le but que l'on expliquera par la suite.An annular intermediate support 9 is fixed to the timepiece 1. It has a central opening 9a for receiving the tens disk and carries a circular arc plate 9b at the left end of which two digits 3 of the tens 30 are registered. This annular intermediate support 9 also carries a pivot 9c intended for pivoting a movable cover 10 provided with a return spring 10a which normally holds this cover 10 in the position illustrated by the figure 3 . A pin 7b carried by the tens disk 7 serves to move the cover 10 in the position illustrated by the figure 2 for the purpose that will be explained later.

Le cadran 11 de la pièce d'horlogerie, qui est fixé sur le support intermédiaire annulaire 9, comporte une fenêtre en arc de cercle 11a centrée sur le centre du cadran, laissant apparaître un secteur annulaire du disque des dizaines et, à travers la fenêtre 7d de celui-ci, la plaque en arc de cercle 9b portant les deux chiffres 3 de la dizaine 30. Le long du bord interne de cette ouverture en arc de cercle 11a sont inscrits les chiffres des unités de 0 à 9, avec un espacement correspondant à 1/31e de la circonférence sur laquelle ils se trouvent répartis.The dial 11 of the timepiece, which is fixed on the annular intermediate support 9, comprises a circular-arc window 11a centered on the center of the dial, revealing an annular sector of the tens disk and, through the window 7d of the latter, the plate in an arc 9b bearing the two figures 3 of the ten 30. Along the inner edge of this opening in an arc 11a are written the numbers of the units of 0 9, with a spacing corresponding to 1/31 th of the circumference on which they are distributed.

La figure 2 montre le dispositif d'affichage lorsqu'il indique le 1 du mois. L'index 7c se situe en face du chiffre 1 des unités. Il se déplace ensuite d'un pas en regard du chiffre 2 et ainsi de suite jusqu'au chiffre 9 qui se situe à l'extrémité droite de la fenêtre 11a. Lors du passage du 9 au 10 du mois, l'index 7c sort de la fenêtre 11a et simultanément, le chiffre 1 de la dizaine 10 apparaît en face du 0 des unités. Ce chiffre 1 progresse ensuite pas à pas toutes les 24 heures en face d'un autre chiffre des unités. La figure 3 le montre en face du chiffre 2 des unités, indiquant donc le quantième 12. La même chose se produit ensuite avec le chiffre de la dizaine 2.The figure 2 shows the display device when it indicates the 1 of the month. The index 7c is opposite the number 1 of the units. It then moves one step next to the number 2 and so on up to the number 9 which is located at the right end of the window 11a. During the passage from 9 to 10 of the month, the index 7c exits the window 11a and simultaneously, the number 1 of the ten 10 appears in front of the 0 units. This number 1 then progresses step by step every 24 hours in front of another unit figure. The figure 3 shows it in front of the number 2 of the units, thus indicating the date 12. The same thing then occurs with the figure of the decade 2.

Les figures 4 et 5 illustrent respectivement l'indication du 30 et du 31. Lorsque le chiffre 2 de la dizaine 20 sort de la fenêtre (figure 4), la fenêtre 7d du disque des dizaines 7 apparaît à l'autre extrémité de la fenêtre 11a en arc de cercle, découvrant le premier chiffre 3 de la dizaine 30 porté par la plaque 9b solidaire du support annulaire 9 et qui se situe en face du chiffre 0 des unités. Lors du déplacement suivant du disque des dizaines 7 (figure 5), la fenêtre 7d se déplace en face du second des chiffres 3 de la dizaine 30 porté par la plaque annulaire 9b en face du chiffre 1 des unités. Simultanément, l'index 7c est amené en face du chiffre 0 des unités. Toutefois, lors de ce déplacement, la goupille 7b du disque des dizaines soulève le cache 10 qui vient s'interposer entre l'index 7c et la fenêtre en arc de cercle 11a, en sorte que cet index 7c n'est pas visible.The figures 4 and 5 respectively illustrate the indication of 30 and 31. When the digit 2 of the ten comes out of the window ( figure 4 ), the window 7d of the tens disk 7 appears at the other end of the window 11a in a circular arc, revealing the first digit 3 of the ten 30 carried by the plate 9b secured to the annular support 9 and which is located opposite number 0 of the units. During the next displacement of the tens disk ( figure 5 ), the window 7d moves in front of the second digit 3 of the ten 30 carried by the annular plate 9b opposite the number 1 units. Simultaneously, the index 7c is brought in front of the number 0 of the units. However, during this movement, the pin 7b of the tens disk lifts the cover 10 which is interposed between the index 7c and the arcuate window 11a, so that the index 7c is not visible.
