Definitions

  • the invention relates to an anchor escapement for a timepiece comprising an escapement wheel driven by a cog, a balance plate carrying an ankle and provided with a first impulse pallet arranged to cooperate with the teeth that carries the mobile and an articulated anchor on a pivot and equipped with a fork cooperating with the plateau pin, this anchor being provided with a second pulse pallet arranged to cooperate with the teeth on the mobile and first and second pallets of rest arranged to cooperate with the teeth carried by the mobile, the escape wheel comprising at least two coaxial and solid wheels.
  • the present invention in addition that it obeys what is explained in the first paragraph above is original in that the teeth which is equipped with a first of said two wheels of the mobile exhaust mesh directly with the gear while cooperating with at least one pallet of rest.
  • the figure 1 is a plan view of the exhaust mechanism according to a first embodiment of the invention. This embodiment is not covered by the claims but is useful for understanding the invention.
  • This escapement comprises an escapement wheel 1 driven by a wheel 2 and a balance plate 3 (the latter not shown) carrying a pin 4.
  • the escapement wheel 1 when it is in motion, turns in the direction of the 30 arrow driven that it is by the gear 2 which rotates in the direction of the arrow 31.
  • the plate 3 is provided with a first impulse pallet 5 arranged to cooperate with the teeth 6 that the mobile 1 carries.
  • the escapement further comprises an anchor 8 articulated on a pivot 9 and equipped with a fork 10 cooperating with the This anchor is equipped with a second impulse pallet 11 arranged to cooperate with the teeth 6 that the mobile 1 carries and first and second pallets of rest 12 and 13 arranged to cooperate with the teeth 6 that door the mobile 1.
  • the fork 10 is equipped with a dart 24 which prevents the accidental tilting of the anchor 8.
  • the peg 4 which is in question here can be a sapphire piece or steel reported on the tray 3 as c is the case in the escapements of the ordinary art.
  • the peg may be made of a piece with the plate that it overcomes, or may be part of an element having a particular shape and fixed on the tray.
  • the various pallets 6, 10, 11 and 13 used here. can also be small sapphire pieces that are recessed. in the arms of the anchor 8 for the last three of them and in the tray 3 for the first.
  • these pallets can be made in one piece with the anchor respectively with the plate.
  • the mobile 1 comprises at least one wheel - here a single escape wheel 1 - and that the teeth 6 which is equipped with this wheel meshes directly with the gear 2 and more precisely with the teeth 20 of this cog.
  • This cog or finish is actually the set of wheels and sprockets which, the barrel, transmits the driving force to the escape wheel 1.
  • the wheel 2 shown here is the last wheel of the series often called the wheel of seconds. In a conventional movement, this second wheel meshes directly with the non-existent escape pinion in the present invention.
  • the figure 2 is a plan view of the exhaust mechanism according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the escapement wheel 1 comprises at least first and second wheels 14 and 15 coaxial and secured - here two exhaust wheels.
  • the teeth 6 of the first wheel 14 mesh with the teeth 20 of the gear train 1, the teeth 6 of said first wheel 14 cooperating with at least one pallet of rest 12.
  • FIG. 1 shows that the first impulse pallet 5 and the first and second pallet rest 12 and 13 cooperate with the teeth 6 that carries the first wheel 14 and the second impulse pallet 11 cooperates with the teeth 7 that carries the second wheel 15.
  • the stroke of the anchor 8 is limited by two pins 21 and 22. The operation of this embodiment will be explained later.
  • the fork 10 is normally equipped with a dart in the image of that shown with respect to the first embodiment. It has not been illustrated here to simplify the drawing.
  • the escape wheel which meshes with the gear cooperates with at least one pallet rest. This is new compared to the ultra-flat coaxial escapement proposed by George Daniels where the wheel cooperates with the pulse pallet implanted in the anchor. This new arrangement allows several particular modes of execution and in particular a second mode which will be briefly described now.
  • This second embodiment (not shown) is original in that the first and second impulse vanes 5 and 11 cooperate with the teeth 7 that the second wheel 15 carries, the first and second pallets of rest 12 and 13 cooperating with each other. with the teeth 6 that carries the first wheel 14, this first wheel also being in engagement with the teeth 20 of the gear 2.
  • the plate 3 rotates in the direction of the arrow 30.
  • the mobile escape 1 is at rest, retained that it is by the pallet of rest 12 which is supported on the tooth 40 of the first wheel 14.
  • the tail 23 which is provided with the anchor 8 bears on the limiting pin 21.
  • the pin 4 of the plate 3 has penetrated into the free space that presents the fork 10 has come into contact with a tooth of this range. This is the start of release phase of the pallet rest 12.
  • the plate 3 continues to rotate in the direction of the arrow 30 pivoting the anchor 8 in the direction of the arrow 32. This pivoting brings the pallet rest 12 to the end of the tooth 40 of the wheel 14 and to out of the grip of this tooth. This is the release phase of the escapement mobile 1. Note also that turning, the plate 3 led the first pulse pallet 5 which is provided to cut the trajectory of the tooth 50 of the first wheel 14 composing the mobile escape 1.
  • the escapement mobile 1 is released and rotates in the direction of the arrow 30 actuated that it is by the gear 2 whose last wheel rotates in the direction of the arrow 31.
  • the teeth of the first escape wheel 14 meshing directly with the teeth of the last wheel of the wheel 2, in this case, the tooth 20 drives the tooth 41 of the wheel 14.
  • the tooth 50 of the wheel 14 has caught the pulse pallet 5 secured to the plate 3, then get in touch with her. This is a pulse start phase intended to restart the plateau 3.
  • the end of pulse phase is shown in figure 6 .
  • the escapement wheel 1, rotating in the direction of the arrow 30, has brought the tooth 50 of the wheel 14 into the position shown in the figure, that is to say about to let go of the wheel.
  • the figure 7 shows the rest of the tooth 49 of the first wheel 14 on the pallet of rest 13.
  • the plate 3 continues to rotate in the direction of the arrow 30 and the pin 4 is about to exit the fork 10.
  • the figure 8 shows the escapement of the invention in a state of total rest.
  • the pallet rest 13 sank deeper on the tooth 49 of the first wheel 14 and the tail 23 of the anchor 8 is supported by the limitation pin 22.
  • the plate 3 travels its supplementary arc in the direction of the arrow 30 then reverses its direction and turns back path in the direction of the arrow 33. This phase marks the end of the first alternation component the oscillation under examination.
  • the figure 9 shows an anchor 8 in the same situation as that analyzed above.
  • the plate 3 returning in the direction of the arrow 33, makes the pin 4 come into contact with the fork 10 of the anchor 8. This is a start-of-release phase of the escapement wheel 1.
  • the plate 3 continued its course in the direction of the arrow 33 and, via the pin 4 and the fork 10, drove the anchor 8 in the direction of the arrow 34.
  • the tail 23 of the anchor 8 took off of the limiting pin 22 and the pallet rest 13 has been extracted from the grip of the tooth 49 of the first wheel 14. This is a phase of release of the mobile escape 1.
  • the plate 3 has brought the second pallet of impulse 11 carried by the anchor 8 to cut the trajectory of the tooth 48 of the second escape wheel 15 making up the escapement wheel 1, which thus prepares the next impulse.
  • the figure 13 shows the rest of the tooth 47 of the first wheel 14 on the pallet rest 12.
  • the plate 3 continues to rotate in the direction of the arrow 33 and the pin 4 is about to leave the fork 10.
  • the figure 14 shows the escapement of the invention in a state of total rest.
  • the rest pallet 12 has sunk deeper on the tooth 47 of the first wheel 14 and the tail 23 of the anchor 8 is supported on the limiting pin 21.
  • the plateau 3 traverses its additional arc in the direction of the arrow 33 and reverses its direction and turns back path in the direction of the arrow 30.
  • This phase marks the end of the second alternation component oscillation under examination. From this moment a new cycle resumes and we find sacred in the situation of the beginning, that is to say, that represented in figure 3 .
