Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un mouvement de pièce d'horlogerie comprenant des premier et deuxième modules munis respectivement d'un premier et d'un deuxième bâti et d'au moins un premier mobile et d'au moins un deuxième mobile, montés rotatifs respectivement sur le premier et le deuxième bâti, les premiers et deuxième mobiles étant reliés cinématiquement l'un à l'autre, des moyens de positionnement et des moyens de fixation des modules l'un avec l'autre, associés au premier et au deuxième bâtis.The present invention relates to a timepiece movement comprising first and second modules respectively provided with a first and a second frame and at least a first mobile and at least a second mobile, rotatably mounted respectively on the first and second frames, the first and second mobiles being kinematically connected to one another, positioning means and means for fixing the modules with each other, associated with the first and second frames.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Un tel mouvement de pièce d'horlogerie est par exemple mis en oeuvre dans une montre Breguet Tradition 7037. Cette montre comprend notamment un module de finissage et un module d'échappement, ainsi que la réserve de marche, disposés autour d'un module de base comprenant le barillet et la platine. Les différents engrenages de chaque module sont maintenus par de nombreux ponts fixés à la platine et répartis autour du barillet en respectant une certaine symétrie pour renforcer l'esthétisme de la montre et assurer une occupation optimale du volume disponible.Such a timepiece movement is for example implemented in a Breguet Tradition 7037 watch. This watch comprises in particular a finishing module and an escape module, as well as the power reserve, arranged around a battery module. base including the barrel and the plate. The different gears of each module are maintained by many bridges fixed to the plate and distributed around the barrel with a certain symmetry to enhance the aesthetics of the watch and ensure optimal use of the available volume.

La disposition des ponts et des différents éléments est déterminée par les trous et les noyures réalisés préalablement sur la platine du module de base. Si le fabricant de mouvements souhaite positionner autrement les éléments du mouvement, il est nécessaire de concevoir une autre structure du mouvement et en conséquence une autre platine, dont les trous et les noyures auront été adaptés pour cette nouvelle disposition. Ceci oblige le fabricant à concevoir, fabriquer et stocker autant de platines que de variantes de positionnement des différents éléments.The arrangement of the bridges and of the various elements is determined by the holes and the cores previously made on the plate of the basic module. If the manufacturer of movements wishes to position the elements of the movement differently, it is necessary to design another structure of the movement and consequently another plate, whose holes and the holes will have been adapted for this new arrangement. This forces the manufacturer to design, manufacture and store as many plates as positioning variants of the different elements.

Pour tenter de résoudre ce problème, des platines "multifonctions" ont été développées. Une telle platine est par exemple décrite dans la demande de brevet EP 1 826 636 . La platine est conçue de sorte que différents cadrans complémentaires et les mécanismes d'affichage correspondants peuvent être présents ou non sur le cadran principal autour des aiguilles d'affichage de l'heure, en fonction des souhaits du fabricant. Toutefois, cette solution oblige à positionner toujours aux mêmes endroits les affichages que l'on souhaite utiliser. Si l'on souhaite changer la disposition des affichages complémentaires, il est, là encore, nécessaire de prévoir autant de platines que de variantes de positionnement des différents éléments.In an attempt to solve this problem, "multifunctional" decks have been developed. Such platinum is for example described in the patent application EP 1 826 636 . The plate is designed so that different complementary dials and the corresponding display mechanisms may or may not be present on the main dial around the display hands according to the wishes of the manufacturer. However, this solution requires to always position in the same places the displays that you want to use. If one wishes to change the layout of the complementary displays, it is, again, necessary to provide as many plates as variants of positioning of the various elements.

Un but de la présente invention est donc de pallier ces inconvénients, en proposant un mouvement de pièce d'horlogerie permettant de varier la disposition des différents affichages en fonction des souhaits du fabricant, en utilisant la même platine, et sans avoir à modifier sa conception.An object of the present invention is therefore to overcome these disadvantages, by proposing a timepiece movement to vary the layout of the different displays according to the wishes of the manufacturer, using the same plate, and without having to change its design .

Divulgation de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

A cet effet, et conformément à la présente invention, il est proposé un mouvement de pièce d'horlogerie comprenant des premier et deuxième modules munis respectivement d'un premier et d'un deuxième bâti et d'au moins un premier mobile et d'au moins un deuxième mobile, montés rotatifs respectivement sur le premier et le deuxième bâti, les premier et deuxième mobiles étant reliés cinématiquement l'un à l'autre, des moyens de positionnement et des moyens de fixation des modules l'un avec l'autre, associés au premier et au deuxième bâtis, ledit mouvement étant caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de positionnement sont disposés concentriquement à l'un desdits premier ou deuxième mobiles et sont agencés pour permettre un positionnement relatif des deux modules en plusieurs positions angulaires en référence à l'axe de rotation du mobile auquel les moyens de positionnement sont concentriques.For this purpose, and in accordance with the present invention, there is proposed a timepiece movement comprising first and second modules respectively provided with a first and a second frame and at least a first mobile and at least one second mobile, respectively rotatably mounted on the first and second frames, the first and second mobiles being kinematically connected to one another, positioning means and means for fixing the modules, one with the other, associated with the first and second frames, said movement being characterized in that said positioning means are arranged concentrically with one of said first or second mobiles and are arranged to allow relative positioning of the two modules in several angular positions as reference the axis of rotation of the mobile to which the positioning means are concentric.

Ainsi, le fabricant n'a plus qu'un seul type de modules à fabriquer et à stocker. Les différents modèles de mouvement sont réalisés à partir des mêmes premier et deuxième modules et diffèrent en modifiant le positionnement relatif des deux modules selon différentes positions angulaires de l'un par rapport à l'autre.Thus, the manufacturer has only one type of modules to manufacture and store. The different models of movement are made from the same first and second modules and differ by modifying the relative positioning of the two modules according to different angular positions of one with respect to the other.

D'une manière avantageuse, lesdits moyens de positionnement peuvent comprendre une pluralité d'orifices répartis concentriquement au premier mobile, et au moins un pied agencé pour pouvoir être engagé dans lesdits orifices, les orifices et le pied étant disposés les uns sur le bâti du premier module, les autres sur le bâti du second, et agencés pour coopérer avec les moyens de fixation. En particulier, les moyens de positionnement peuvent comprendre des piliers fixés sur le bâti du deuxième module et prolongés par un pied agencé pour être engagé dans l'un des orifices répartis sur le bâti du premier module.Advantageously, said positioning means may comprise a plurality of orifices distributed concentrically to the first mobile, and at least one foot arranged to be engaged in said orifices, the orifices and the foot being arranged one on the frame of the first module, the others on the frame of the second, and arranged to cooperate with the fastening means. In particular, the positioning means may comprise pillars fixed on the frame of the second module and extended by a foot arranged to be engaged in one of the orifices distributed on the frame of the first module.

Dans une autre variante, lesdits moyens de positionnement peuvent comprendre un pied-vis agencé pour être engagé dans l'un des orifices répartis sur le bâti du deuxième module et dans un orifice prévu sur le bâti du premier module.In another variant, said positioning means may comprise a foot-screw arranged to be engaged in one of the orifices distributed on the frame of the second module and in an orifice provided on the frame of the first module.

Mode(s) de réalisation de l'inventionMode (s) of realization of the invention

Une première variante d'un mouvement de pièce d'horlogerie est représentée sur les figures 1 à 5.A first variant of a timepiece movement is represented on the Figures 1 to 5 .

Selon cette variante, le mouvement 1 comprend un premier module, appelé par la suite module de base 2, qui comprend une platine 3 partie d'un premier bâti, et un barillet 4 renfermant un ressort et constituant le premier mobile, monté rotatif sur l'axe central 5 de la platine 3. Il est bien évident que la platine peut être de forme tonneau ou barrette, le barillet pouvant être décalé par rapport au centre.According to this variant, the movement 1 comprises a first module, hereinafter called base module 2, which comprises a plate 3 part of a first frame, and a barrel 4 enclosing a spring and constituting the first mobile, rotatably mounted on the central axis 5 of the plate 3. It is obvious that the plate can be of barrel or barrel shape, the barrel can be offset from the center.

Le module de base 2 comprend également une tige de remontoir 6 assurant de manière classique les fonctions de remontage du ressort de barillet et de mise à l'heure des aiguilles. Pour cela, la tige de remontoir 6 comprend par exemple un pignon de remontoir 7 et un pignon coulant 8 permettant de mettre en oeuvre l'une ou l'autre des fonctions de la tige de remontoir 6.The base module 2 also comprises a winding stem 6 which conventionally assures the functions of winding of the mainspring and setting the needles. For this purpose, the winding stem 6 comprises, for example, a winding pinion 7 and a sliding pinion 8 making it possible to implement one or the other of the functions of the winding stem 6.

En référence plus particulièrement à la figure 1, le mécanisme de remontage du ressort de barillet est classique. Il comprend plus spécifiquement une roue à rochet 9 et un cliquet 9a coopérant avec la roue à rochet 9 pour l'empêcher de reculer, la roue à rochet 9 étant en liaison cinématique avec le pignon de remontoir 7 au moyen d'un train de renvois 10. Ce mécanisme est connu de l'homme du métier et ne sera pas décrit plus en détail.With particular reference to the figure 1 , the winding mechanism of the mainspring is conventional. It more specifically comprises a ratchet wheel 9 and a pawl 9a cooperating with the ratchet wheel 9 to prevent it from backing up, the ratchet wheel 9 being kinematically connected to the winding pinion 7 by means of a gear train 10. This mechanism is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in more detail.

Le mouvement 1 selon l'invention comprend un deuxième module, appelé par la suite module de finissage 15, représenté plus particulièrement sur la figure 2.The movement 1 according to the invention comprises a second module, hereinafter called finishing module 15, represented more particularly on the figure 2 .

Ce module de finissage 15 comprend une plaque de module de finissage supérieure 16 et une plaque de module de finissage inférieure 17, en forme de secteur annulaire, constituant le deuxième bâti. Un rouage de finissage, comprenant une roue de grande moyenne 18, une roue de petite moyenne 19 et une roue de seconde 20 et les pignons associés, est monté rotatif entre les plaques de module de finissage supérieure 16 et inférieure 17. Le pignon de grande moyenne est agencé pour engrener avec le barillet 4 et constitue, avec la roue de grande moyenne, le deuxième mobile. Entre les plaques de module de finissage supérieure 16 et inférieure 17 est également monté rotatif un mobile d'échappement 21. Le module de finissage 15 comprend en outre une ancre 22 montée rotative entre un pont d'ancre 23 et la plaque de module de finissage inférieure 17, et un balancier-spiral 24 monté rotatif entre un coq 25 et la plaque de module de finissage inférieure 17. Tous ces éléments sont connus en soi et ne seront pas décrits plus en détails.This finishing module 15 comprises an upper finishing module plate 16 and a bottom finishing module plate 17, in the form of an annular sector, constituting the second frame. A finishing gear train, comprising a medium wheel 18, a medium wheel 19 and a second wheel 20 and the associated gear wheels, is rotatably mounted between the top 16 and lower 17 finishing plate plates. average is arranged to mesh with the barrel 4 and is, with the wheel of high average, the second mobile. Between the top finishing module plates 16 and lower 17 is also rotatably mounted an exhaust mobile 21. The finishing module 15 further comprises an anchor 22 rotatably mounted between an anchor bridge 23 and the finishing module plate lower 17, and a sprung balance 24 rotatably mounted between a cock 25 and the bottom finishing module plate 17. All these elements are known per se and will not be described in more detail.

Le module de finissage 15 est monté sur la face inférieure de la platine 3 grâce à des moyens de positionnement et à des moyens de fixation associés à la platine 3 du module de base 2 et au bâti du module de finissage 15.The finishing module 15 is mounted on the lower face of the plate 3 by means of positioning means and fastening means associated with the plate 3 of the base module 2 and with the frame of the finishing module 15.

Conformément à l'invention, lesdits moyens de positionnement du module de finissage comprennent:

  • une pluralité d'orifices 30 réalisés sur la platine, répartis concentriquement au barillet 4, et agencés pour pouvoir disposer le module de finissage 15 autour du barillet 4 selon différentes positions angulaires,
  • plusieurs piliers 31 fixés au bâti du module de finissage 15 et comprenant chacun un pied 32 agencé pour pouvoir être engagé dans l'un des orifices 30 de la platine 3, choisi en fonction du positionnement souhaité du module de finissage 15.
According to the invention, said positioning means of the finishing module comprise:
  • a plurality of orifices 30 made on the plate, distributed concentrically with the barrel 4, and arranged to be able to arrange the finishing module 15 around the barrel 4 according to different angular positions,
  • several pillars 31 fixed to the frame of the finishing module 15 and each comprising a foot 32 arranged to be engaged in one of the orifices 30 of the plate 3, chosen according to the desired positioning of the finishing module 15.

Comme le montre plus précisément la figure 8, le pilier 31 est fixé à la plaque de module de finissage supérieure 16 au moyen d'une vis 33. D'une manière astucieuse, le pilier 31 est prolongé par son pied 32 agencé de manière à pouvoir être engagé tout d'abord dans un orifice de la plaque de module de finissage inférieure 17 puis ajusté dans un orifice 30 de la platine 3 en regard. L'ensemble est maintenu par une vis 34. Le pilier 31 et son pied 32 sont agencés pour coopérer avec les vis 33 et 34, qui constituent les moyens de fixation des modules 2 et 15 l'un avec l'autre.As shown more specifically figure 8 , the pillar 31 is fixed to the upper finishing module plate 16 by means of a screw 33. In a clever way, the pillar 31 is extended by its foot 32 arranged so that it can be engaged first in an orifice of the bottom finishing module plate 17 and then adjusted in a hole 30 of the plate 3 opposite. The assembly is held by a screw 34. The pillar 31 and its foot 32 are arranged to cooperate with the screws 33 and 34, which constitute the fixing means of the modules 2 and 15 with each other.

Les orifices 30 présentent la forme de segments oblongs continus. Il est bien évident qu'ils peuvent également être discrets, et présenter par exemple la forme de trous circulaires répartis sur tout le pourtour de la platine 3 concentriquement au barillet 4, avec une périodicité telle que les pieds 32 peuvent y être engagés dans plusieurs positions.The orifices 30 have the shape of continuous oblong segments. It is obvious that they can also be discrete, and have for example the shape of circular holes distributed around the periphery of the plate 3 concentrically to the cylinder 4, with a periodicity such that the feet 32 can be engaged in several positions .

En référence plus spécifiquement aux figures 3 à 5, le mouvement 1 selon l'invention comprend en outre des moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes, et des organes de positionnement de ces moyens d'affichage, disposés concentriquement au barillet 4 et agencés pour permettre un positionnement des moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes selon plusieurs positions angulaires autour du barillet 4.With reference more specifically to Figures 3 to 5 , the movement 1 according to the invention further comprises means for displaying the hour and minutes, and positioning members of these display means, arranged concentrically with the barrel 4 and arranged to allow positioning of the means of displaying the hour and minutes according to several angular positions around the barrel 4.

Les moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes comprennent des moyens de liaison assurant la liaison cinématique avec le barillet 4, quelle que soit la position des moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes autour du barillet 4.The means for displaying the hour and minutes comprise connecting means ensuring the kinematic connection with the barrel 4, whatever the position of the means for displaying the hour and minutes around the barrel 4.

En référence plus spécifiquement à la figure 3, qui représente une première position possible des moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes placés à 3 heures, les moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes comprennent une aiguille des heures 40 portée par une roue des heures 41, une aiguille des minutes 42 portée par une chaussée 43, qui est assemblée à un pignon 44 par lanternage. Le pignon 44 est agencé pour engrener avec le barillet 4. Par ailleurs, il est prévu une roue de minuterie 45 et un pignon de minuterie 46 montés rotatifs sur l'axe 5 de la platine 3 qui assurent la liaison cinématique entre le barillet 4 et les moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes. Le pignon de minuterie 46 est agencé pour engrener avec la roue des heures 41 et la roue de minuterie 45 est agencée pour engrener avec la chaussée 43.With reference more specifically to the figure 3 , which represents a first possible position of the means of displaying the hour and minutes placed at 3 o'clock, the means for displaying the hour and minutes comprise an hour hand 40 carried by a hour wheel 41, a minute hand 42 carried by a roadway 43, which is assembled to a pinion 44 by lanterning. The pinion 44 is arranged to mesh with the barrel 4. Furthermore, there is provided a timer wheel 45 and a timer gear 46 rotatably mounted on the axis 5 of the plate 3 which provide the kinematic connection between the barrel 4 and the means for displaying the hour and minutes. The timer gear 46 is arranged to mesh with the hour wheel 41 and the timer wheel 45 is arranged to mesh with the roadway 43.

Les organes de positionnement 47 comportent un axe destiné à porter le pignon lanterné 44 et la chaussée 43, et des orifices circulaires répartis en arc de cercle sur la platine 3 autour du barillet 4 et agencés pour recevoir cet axe, selon différentes positions par rapport au barillet 4.The positioning members 47 comprise an axis intended to carry the lantern pinion 44 and the roadway 43, and circular orifices distributed in an arc of circle on the plate 3 around the cylinder 4 and arranged to receive this axis, according to different positions with respect to the barrel 4.

Dans cette variante, la seconde est affichée au moyen d'une aiguille des secondes 48 portée par la roue de seconde 20 du module de finissage 15, et munie d'un axe 50. Le module de finissage 15 a été positionné sur la platine 3 à l'endroit approprié pour obtenir la position souhaitée de la roue de seconde 20. Il est alors prévu dans la platine 3 un dégagement 49 permettant le passage de l'axe 50 de l'aiguille des secondes 48. Le dégagement 49 est en forme de segment annulaire, concentrique au barillet 4, afin de pouvoir modifier la position de l'aiguille des secondes 48 en fonction de la position du module de finissage 15, comme on le verra plus tard.In this variant, the second is displayed by means of a second hand 48 carried by the second wheel 20 of the finishing module 15, and provided with an axis 50. The finishing module 15 has been positioned on the plate 3 in the appropriate place to obtain the desired position of the second wheel 20. It is then provided in the plate 3 a clearance 49 for the passage of the axis 50 of the seconds hand 48. The clearance 49 is shaped annular segment, concentric with the barrel 4, in order to be able to modify the position of the second hand 48 in function of the position of the finishing module 15, as will be seen later.

Il est prévu également un mécanisme de mise à l'heure agencé pour coopérer avec les moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes, quelle que soit la position des ces moyens autour du barillet 4.There is also provided a time setting mechanism arranged to cooperate with the means for displaying the hour and minutes, regardless of the position of these means around the barrel 4.

Ce mécanisme comprend de manière classique la tige de remontoir 6, des éléments permettant le déplacement du pignon coulant 8 jusqu'à ce qu'il engrène avec un premier renvoi 51. Celui-ci engrène avec un deuxième renvoi 52 qui est agencé pour engrener avec la chaussée 43.This mechanism conventionally comprises the winding stem 6, elements allowing the displacement of the sliding pinion 8 until it meshes with a first return 51. This meshes with a second return 52 which is arranged to mesh with the road 43.

Lors de la marche normale du mouvement 1, le barillet 4 engrène avec le pignon lanterné 44 qui est alors solidaire de la chaussée 43 qui entraine l'aiguille des minutes 42. La chaussée 43 engrène avec la roue de minuterie 45 et son pignon de minuterie 46 engrène avec la roue des heures 41 qui entraine l'aiguille des heures 40.During normal movement 1, the barrel 4 meshes with the lantern pinion 44 which is then secured to the floor 43 which drives the minute hand 42. The floor 43 meshes with the timer wheel 45 and its timer gear 46 meshes with the hour wheel 41 which drives the hour hand 40.

Pour la mise à l'heure, le pignon coulant 8 de la tige de remontoir 6 est positionné de manière à engrener avec le renvoi 51, qui engrène avec le renvoi 52. Pour le réglage des minutes, ce dernier engrène avec la chaussée 43 qui, à cause du lanternage, tourne sur le pignon lanterné 44 sans l'entrainer. La chaussée 43 engrène avec la roue de minuterie 45 entrainant le pignon de minuterie 46 qui coopère avec la roue des heures 41 pour le réglage des heures.For setting the time, the sliding pinion 8 of the winding stem 6 is positioned to mesh with the reference 51, which meshes with the return 52. For setting the minutes, the latter meshes with the road 43 which because of the lanternage, turn on the lantern pinion 44 without training. The floor 43 meshes with the timer wheel 45 driving the timer gear 46 which cooperates with the hour wheel 41 for setting the hours.

Il est bien évident que le nombre de renvois peut varier en fonction des dimensions et de la disposition des moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes.It is obvious that the number of referrals may vary depending on the size and layout of the means of displaying the hour and minutes.

La figure 4 montre par exemple un mouvement pour lequel les moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes ont été placés dans une autre position que celle représentée sur la figure 3, en disposant l'axe de la chaussée 43 et du pignon lanterné 44 dans un autre orifice 47 autour du barillet 4. Toutes les pièces sont identiques à celles représentées sur la figure 3. En outre, il est prévu un renvoi supplémentaire 53 qui assure la liaison cinématique entre le deuxième renvoi 52 et la roue de minuterie 45.The figure 4 shows, for example, a movement for which the means for displaying the hour and minutes have been placed in a position other than that represented on the figure 3 , by arranging the axis of the roadway 43 and the lantern pinion 44 in another orifice 47 around the barrel 4. All the parts are identical to those shown in FIG. figure 3 . In addition, there is provided an additional return 53 which ensures the kinematic connection between the second return 52 and the timer wheel 45.

Il est possible de placer l'aiguille des secondes 48 au centre de la platine 3, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 5, les autres références étant par ailleurs identiques à celles des figures 3 et 4. Dans ce cas, il est prévu un renvoi 54 coopérant avec la roue de seconde 20 du module de finissage 15 et une roue de seconde 55 montée rotative au centre de la platine 3.It is possible to place the second hand 48 in the center of the plate 3, as shown in FIG. figure 5 , the other references being by elsewhere identical to those of figures 3 and 4 . In this case, there is provided a reference 54 cooperating with the second wheel 20 of the finishing module 15 and a second wheel 55 rotatably mounted in the center of the plate 3.

Les figures 6 et 7 représentent une autre variante d'un mouvement selon l'invention, pour lequel les moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes se situent au centre de la platine 3. Dans ce cas, lesdits moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes comprennent une aiguille des heures 60 portée par la roue des heures 61, une aiguille des minutes 62 portée par la chaussée 63. Le barillet 4 coopère avec un pignon 64 assemblé à un renvoi 67 par lanternage. Le renvoi 67 engrène avec une roue de minuterie 65 solidaire d'un pignon de minuterie 66, qui forment ensemble un mobile de minuterie pouvant être monté rotatif dans un des orifices prévus sur la platine 3. Le pignon de minuterie 66 est agencé pour engrener avec la roue des heures 61 et la roue de minuterie 65 est agencée pour engrener avec la chaussée 63.The figures 6 and 7 represent another variant of a movement according to the invention, for which the means for displaying the hour and minutes are located in the center of the plate 3. In this case, said means for displaying the time and minutes comprise an hour hand 60 carried by the hour wheel 61, a minute hand 62 carried by the roadway 63. The barrel 4 cooperates with a pinion 64 assembled to a reference 67 by lanterning. Referral 67 meshes with a timer wheel 65 integral with a timing gear 66, which together form a timer can be rotatably mounted in one of the holes provided on the plate 3. The timing gear 66 is arranged to mesh with the hour wheel 61 and the timer wheel 65 is arranged to mesh with the roadway 63.

L'aiguille des secondes 68 est également placée au centre de la platine 3. Pour cela, le module de finissage 15 a été déplacé et positionné sur la platine 3 de sorte que la roue de seconde 20 soit à 6 h. Il est alors prévu un renvoi 69 coopérant avec la roue de seconde 20 du module de finissage 15 et une roue de seconde 70 montée rotative au centre de la platine 3.The second hand 68 is also placed in the center of the plate 3. For this, the finishing module 15 has been moved and positioned on the plate 3 so that the second wheel 20 is at 6 o'clock. There is then provided a return 69 cooperating with the second wheel 20 of the finishing module 15 and a second wheel 70 rotatably mounted in the center of the plate 3.

Dans la variante représentée sur la figure 7, les références étant identiques à celles de la figure 6, l'aiguille des secondes 68 est par exemple positionnée à 6h et est directement portée par la roue de seconde 20 du module de finissage 15. Le renvoi 69 et la roue de seconde 70 ne sont alors plus nécessaires.In the variant shown on the figure 7 , the references being identical to those of the figure 6 , the seconds hand 68 is for example positioned at 6 o'clock and is directly carried by the second wheel 20 of the finishing module 15. The return 69 and the second wheel 70 are then no longer necessary.

Selon l'invention, l'aiguille des secondes peut occuper différentes positions par rapport au barillet 4. Pour cela, le module de finissage 15 peut être disposé sur la face inférieure de la platine 3, selon différentes positions, autour du barillet 4, en introduisant les pieds 32 des piliers 31 du module de finissage 15 dans les orifices 30 de la platine 3 aux emplacements souhaités, et en les vissant au moyen des vis 33 et 34.According to the invention, the seconds hand can occupy different positions relative to the barrel 4. For this, the finishing module 15 can be arranged on the lower face of the plate 3, according to different positions, around the barrel 4, in introducing the feet 32 of the pillars 31 of the finishing module 15 into the orifices 30 of the plate 3 at the desired locations, and screwing them by means of the screws 33 and 34.

Par ailleurs, les moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes peuvent être disposés sur la face supérieure de la platine 3, selon différentes positions, autour du barillet 4, en introduisant l'axe de la chaussée dans l'orifice de la platine 3 à l'emplacement souhaité.Moreover, the means for displaying the hour and minutes may be arranged on the upper face of the plate 3, according to different positions, around the barrel 4, by introducing the axis of the roadway into the hole of the plate 3 at the desired location.

Ainsi, le mouvement peut présenter différentes configurations, en utilisant une seule platine et en modifiant un minimum de pièces.Thus, the movement can have different configurations, using a single plate and changing a minimum of parts.

Dans la variante représentée ici, le module de finissage et les moyens d'affichage de l'heure sont de part et d'autre de la platine, mais il est bien évident qu'ils peuvent être disposés du même côté. Le mouvement peut également comprendre un affichage rétrograde d'un côté ou de l'autre de la platine.In the variant shown here, the finishing module and the time display means are on either side of the plate, but it is obvious that they can be arranged on the same side. The movement may also include a retrograde display on one side or the other of the platen.

L'homme du métier sait adapter les dimensions et le nombre de dents des différents mobiles et renvois pour respecter les liaisons cinématiques entre les différents éléments et les vitesses de rotation des différents mobiles, quelles que soient les positions du module de finissage et des moyens d'affichage de l'heure et des minutes, autour du barillet.The person skilled in the art knows how to adapt the dimensions and the number of teeth of the different mobiles and references in order to respect the kinematic links between the different elements and the speeds of rotation of the different mobiles, whatever the positions of the finishing module and the means of rotation. display of the hour and minutes around the barrel.

Une autre variante de l'invention est représentée sur les figures 9 à 11.Another variant of the invention is represented on the Figures 9 to 11 .

Selon cette variante, le premier module est désormais un module de finissage 80 comprenant une plaque de module de finissage supérieure 81 et une plaque de module de finissage inférieure 82, en forme de secteur annulaire, constituant le premier bâti. Un rouage de finissage, comprenant une roue de grande moyenne 83, une roue de petite moyenne 84 et une roue de seconde 85 et les pignons associés, est monté rotatif entre les plaques de module de finissage supérieure 81 et inférieure 82. Le pignon de la roue de grande moyenne est agencé pour engrener avec le barillet.According to this variant, the first module is now a finishing module 80 comprising an upper finishing module plate 81 and a bottom finishing module plate 82, in the form of an annular sector, constituting the first frame. A finishing gear train, comprising a medium wheel 83, a medium wheel 84 and a second wheel 85 and the associated gear wheels, is rotatably mounted between the upper and lower finishing module plates 81. The gear wheel of the medium wheel is arranged to mesh with the barrel.

Le module de finissage 80 comprend également un mobile d'échappement monté rotatif entre les plaques de module de finissage supérieure 81 et inférieure 82, la roue d'échappement 86 constituant le premier mobile. Il est bien évident que chacun des mobiles du module de finissage peut constituer le premier mobile, en particulier par exemple le mobile de seconde.The finishing module 80 also comprises an escapement mobile rotatably mounted between the top finishing module plates 81 and lower 82, the escape wheel 86 constituting the first mobile. It is obvious that each of the mobiles of the finishing module can constitute the first mobile, in particular for example the second mobile.

Le deuxième module est constitué par un module porte-échappement 87 et comprend une plaque de module porte-échappement inférieure 88, une ancre 89 montée rotative entre un pont d'ancre 89a et la plaque inférieure 88, et un balancier-spiral 90 monté rotatif entre un coq 91 et la plaque inférieure 88. La plaque inférieure 88, le pont d'ancre 89a et le coq 91 forment le deuxième bâti, et l'ancre 89 constitue le deuxième mobile.The second module consists of an exhaust module 87 and comprises a bottom exhaust module plate 88, an anchor 89 rotatably mounted between an anchor bridge 89a and the lower plate 88, and a rotatable balance spring 90 mounted rotatable between a cock 91 and the lower plate 88. The lower plate 88, the anchor bridge 89a and the cock 91 form the second frame, and the anchor 89 constitutes the second mobile.

Conformément à l'invention, il est prévu des moyens de positionnement du module porte-échappement 87 par rapport au module de finissage 80, disposés concentriquement à la roue d'échappement 86 et agencés pour positionner le module porte-échappement 87 autour de la roue d'échappement 86 selon différentes positions angulaires. Lesdits moyens de positionnement comprennent une pluralité d'orifices 92 réalisés à l'extrémité de la plaque de module porte-échappement inférieure 88, et agencés pour être disposés concentriquement à la roue d'échappement 86 lorsque les deux modules 80 et 87 sont assemblés, et un orifice 93 prévu sur la plaque de module de finissage inférieure 82. L'orifice 93 présente une collerette 94 sur laquelle vient s'engager la plaque du module porte-échappement inférieure 88 de sorte que les orifices 92 et 93 soient en regard. Les moyens de fixation comprennent un pied-vis 95 agencé pour être engagé dans l'un des orifices 92 et dans l'orifice 93 et assembler les deux modules 80 et 87.According to the invention, means for positioning the exhaust-carrying module 87 with respect to the finishing module 80, arranged concentrically with the escape wheel 86 and arranged to position the exhaust-carrying module 87 around the wheel, are provided. exhaust 86 according to different angular positions. Said positioning means comprise a plurality of orifices 92 made at the end of the lower exhaust module plate 88, and arranged to be arranged concentrically with the escape wheel 86 when the two modules 80 and 87 are assembled, and an orifice 93 provided on the bottom finishing module plate 82. The orifice 93 has a flange 94 on which engages the plate of the lower exhaust module 88 so that the orifices 92 and 93 are facing each other. The fixing means comprise a screw-foot 95 arranged to be engaged in one of the orifices 92 and in the orifice 93 and to assemble the two modules 80 and 87.

La figure 10 représente une variante de la figure 9 selon laquelle le module porte-échappement 87 a été assemblé au module de finissage 80 selon une autre position angulaire par rapport à la roue d'échappement 86. Pour cela, un autre orifice 92 de la plaque de module porte-échappement inférieure 88 a été mis en regard de l'orifice 93 de la plaque de module de finissage inférieure 82, les modules étant ensuite assemblés par le pied-vis 95.The figure 10 represents a variant of the figure 9 according to which the exhaust module 87 has been assembled to the finishing module 80 in another angular position with respect to the escape wheel 86. For this, another orifice 92 of the lower exhaust module plate 88 has been positioned opposite the orifice 93 of the bottom finishing module plate 82, the modules being then assembled by the screw-threader 95.

Cette variante permet de réaliser des mouvements présentant un balancier-spiral 90 dans différentes positions par rapport au module de finissage, en utilisant les mêmes modules.This variant makes it possible to produce movements having a balance spring 90 in different positions relative to the finishing module, using the same modules.

Il est bien évident que les modules peuvent présenter d'autres fonctions, tels que des modules de réserve de marche, des modules d'affichage de date, de fuseaux horaires, ou des modules de chronographe, comprenant un mobile en liaison cinématique par exemple avec le barillet. Ces modules peuvent alors être utilisés séparément ou en combinaison, et être disposés sur la platine ou par rapport à d'autres modules sans qu'il soit nécessaire de changer de platine ou de modules. Ainsi, grâce aux caractéristiques que présente le mouvement selon l'invention, il est possible de réaliser des mouvements permettant l'affichage de différentes fonctions, en combinaisons ou de manière indépendantes les unes des autres, l'affichage pouvant être assuré en différents endroits du cadran, sans pour autant devoir apporter des modifications au bâti.It is obvious that the modules may have other functions, such as power-reserve modules, date display modules, time zone modules, or chronograph modules, comprising a mobile link kinematic for example with the barrel. These modules can then be used separately or in combination, and be arranged on the board or with respect to other modules without the need to change board or modules. Thus, thanks to the characteristics of the movement according to the invention, it is possible to realize movements allowing the display of different functions, in combinations or independently of each other, the display can be provided in different parts of the dial, without having to make changes to the frame.
