Definitions

  • the invention belongs to the field of watchmaking. It relates more specifically to a timepiece, such as a watch, provided with an indication of the moon phases.
  • Such timepieces are known to those skilled in the art. They generally include a moon phase mechanism, formed by a wheel driven by an hour wheel and a disk on which are affixed two representations of the moon. The disc is visible behind a window forming a generally semicircle, the diameter of which comprises two curved portions arranged so that the moon appears upward, full, and then down as it runs through the window.
  • the document FR2862143 discloses such a moon phase indicator mechanism, further provided with a gear train for optimizing the gear ratios to drive the indicator in cycles very close to that of the duration of the exact lunation.
  • the present invention makes it possible to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a timepiece provided with an indication of the phases of moon in which the representations of the moon are mobile in rotation on the disk of the moon phases.
  • the invention relates to a timepiece having a dial provided with a window behind which is mounted a disk of moon phases rotated by a moon phase wheel.
  • the disc is rotatably mounted about the axis of a fixed sun gear, and two planet wheels, integral in rotation with representations of the moon, are mounted to rotate in rotation on the disk, engaged at less indirectly with the sun gear, so as to form with the sun gear, a planetary gear.
  • the representations of the moon are rotatable on the disk of the moon phases, which allows a number of aesthetic and surprising effects.
  • two intermediate references are mounted on the disk of the moon phases, interposed between the planet wheels and the sun gear.
  • This feature allows the representations of the moon to rotate in the direction of rotation opposite to that of the moon phase disk.
  • the planet wheels are provided with a toothing and the sun gear is provided with a toothing, the ratio of the number of teeth between the teeth of the planet wheels and the toothing of the sun gear being equal. to 1.
  • This feature allows representations of the moon to rotate at the same angular velocity as the moon phase disk and in the opposite direction of rotation. As a result, the representations of the moon appear with a fixed inclination with respect to the axis 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock of the timepiece, when they pass through the window.
  • the timepiece illustrated in figure 1 conventionally comprises a box 10 defining a volume in which is mounted a movement of mechanical or electromechanical type, not visible in figure 1 .
  • the timepiece further comprises a dial 12 on which hours symbols are affixed, and display members 14, such as hands, cooperating with the dial 12 to provide an indication of the time.
  • the timepiece is, furthermore, provided with a moon phase indication formed by a moon window 16, made in the dial 12, and a moon phase disk 18, rotatably mounted behind the window 16
  • the moon phase disc 18 is conventionally provided with two representations of the moon 19a and 19b, arranged on the same diameter, on either side of the center, so as to appear in turn through the aperture 16.
  • the moon phase disc 18 is the visible part of a moon phase mechanism 20 illustrated in FIG. Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the phase mechanism of moon 20 is mounted on the dial side of a plate 22. It conventionally comprises a moon phase wheel 24 formed of a driving wheel 26 provided with a finger 28.
  • the moon phase wheel 24 is rotated to because of a turn per day, by a 30 hour wheel, which draws its motive force from the movement.
  • the finger 28 cooperates with the moon phase disc 18, so as to lead it in steps, at a rate of one step per day.
  • the moon phase disc 18 is provided with a star gear 32, comprising 59 teeth. It is, moreover, positioned by a jumper 34. This arrangement is conventional and allows the moon phase disc 18 to perform a turn in 59 days, which corresponds to two lunations of 29.5 days.
  • the moon phase gear train 24 comprises, interposed between the driving wheel 26 and the moon phase disk 18, a star of 7 carrying a pinion with 16 teeth, driven by the finger 28, and a 16 teeth return cooperating with the moon phase disk 18 and driven by the pinion 16 teeth.
  • the disc 18 is then equipped with 135 teeth and performs a turn in 59.0625 days, which corresponds to two lunations of 29.53125 days, very close to the real value.
  • Such an embodiment is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail.
  • the moon phase disc 18 is rotatably mounted around a sun gear 36 fixedly mounted on the plate 22.
  • the sun gear 36 is driven on a pin 38 mounted rigidly on the plate 22 through a lunation bridge 40.
  • the lunation bridge 40 is formed of a straight bar, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 fixed at both ends to the plate 22.
  • the bar comprises two convex portions 42a and 42b, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 . The interest of this arrangement will be explained later.
  • the axis 38 is rigidly mounted in the plate 22 without lunation bridge 40.
  • the moon phase disk 18 is shown in more detail in figure 4 .
  • Two planet wheels 44a and 44b are rotatably mounted on the disc 18, with the aid of two planetary bridges 46a and 46b, respectively, or, alternatively, without a bridge.
  • the planet wheels 44a and 44b are integral in rotation with two disks 48a and 48b on which symbolic or realistic images of the moon are affixed.
  • the disks 48a and 48b form the moon representations 19a and 19b visible through the aperture 16.
  • the planet wheels 44a and 44b mesh with two gears 50a and 50b rotatably mounted on the disk 18 by means of the planet gears 46a and 46b, or alternatively without a bridge.
  • the references 50a and 50b are themselves engaged with the sun gear 36, so that the set of wheels 44 - references 50 - sun gear 36 forms a planetary gear.
  • the teeth of the sun gear 36 and the planet wheels 44a, 44b have an identical number of teeth, while the references 50a, 50b are provided with any number of teeth.
  • the planet wheels 44a and 44b engage directly with the sun gear 36.
  • the planet wheels 44a and 44b have the possibility of turning faster or slower than the disk 18, according to the ratio of the number of teeth of the gears of the sun gear 36 and the planet wheels 44a, 44b. They can also rotate in the same direction as the disc 18, or in the opposite direction, depending on whether or not references 50a, 50b are interposed between the planet wheels 44a, 44b and the sun gear 36. These different variants allow all kinds of interesting playful effects.
  • FIG 8 represents a particular embodiment of a timepiece according to the invention.
  • the ratio of the number of teeth of the toothings of the planet wheels 44a and 44b and the sun gear 36 is equal to 1.
  • two links 50a and 50b are interposed between the planet wheels 44a and 44b respectively, and the sun gear 36.
  • the disc 18 is mounted on the plate 22 without lunation bridge 40.
  • the discs 48a and 48b are formed of two polarizing lenses whose polarization with respect to the 12 o'clock - 6 o'clock axis of the timepiece, is identical and defined. We choose, for example, as illustrated in figure 8 , to orient the polarizing glasses parallel to the axis 12 hours - 6 hours.
  • the window 16 is circular. It is closed by a polarizing lens 52 formed of a lower half 52a and an upper half 52b complementary and contiguous.
  • the diameter of the lower half 52a has two curved portions, so that the upper half 52b takes the shape of a conventional moon window.
  • the lower half 52a is polarized parallel to the axis 12 hours - 6 hours, while the upper half 52b is polarized perpendicular to the same axis.
  • the disks 48a and 48b run behind the two window halves 52a and 52b. Since the discs 48a and 48b have a fixed inclination with respect to the 12 o'clock-6 o'clock axis, their polarization remains parallel to this axis throughout their travel through the aperture 16. However, the superposition of two parallel polarization glasses appears transparent, whereas the superposition of two glasses of perpendicular polarization appears opaque. As a result, when they pass behind the upper half 52b of the window 16, the disks 48a and 48b are visible and appear opaque, whereas when they scroll behind the lower half 52a, they appear transparent, so very little visible. Their race thus includes an active part, when they are visible, and a passive part, when they are transparent.
  • the disc 18 can be mounted on the plate 22 by means of a lunation bridge 40.
  • a lunation bridge 40 comprising two curved portions 42a. and 42b, as illustrated in figure 3 .
  • the planet wheels 44a, 44b, as well as the references 50a, 50b, are mounted on the dial side 12 of the moon phase disk 18.
  • the solar pinion 36 is also mounted in the plate 22, dial side of the disc 18.
  • This arrangement allows a large part of the planetary gear train formed by the wheels 44, the return wheels 50 and the pinion 36, to be visible through the window 16, this which can present an interesting playful effect.
  • the person skilled in the art will choose to mount the platinum-side planetary gear 22 of the disc 18 so as to reveal, on the dial side 12, only the discs 48a, 48b on which images of the moon are affixed.
  • This embodiment is of a much more conventional appearance and is particularly suitable for the embodiment with polarizing lenses.
