Definitions
- the present invention relates to an oscillating mass intended for the automatic winding of a clockwork movement, the mass being pivotally off-center with respect to the center of the movement and being made of a single heavy material.
- the reassembly is generally ensured by the rotation of an oscillating mass of a radius approximately equal to that of the movement and pivoting in the center and above the latter.
- the oscillating mass normally consists of two distinct parts: the mass support and the heavy sector.
- the mass support carries the heavy sector on its periphery and, in its center, is pivoted on a tree which constitutes the suspension of the whole oscillating mass.
- This support is usually made of brass or nickel silver and is intentionally made flexible so as not to damage the suspension of the oscillating mass in case of shock.
- the mass support acts as a shock absorber.
- the heavy sector of a traditional large radius system is the outer part of the oscillating mass and is integral with the mass support to which it is fixed by screwing, riveting or crimping. It is made of fried alloy or precious metal of great density.
- the elasticity of the mass support is sufficient to protect the system from impact.
- the displacement of the oscillating mass is limited by the support of the heavy sector on the plate in one direction and the bottom of the box in the other direction.
- the mass support, often decorated, is not likely to be scratched.
- the present invention relates to an oscillating weight pivotally off center to the center of the movement, as described for example in the patent application CH 9.431 / 66 , the remedies described to counteract the harmful effects of shocks applied to the timepiece are not suitable, because the radius of the oscillating weight is greatly reduced compared to that of a traditional oscillating weight to form what can be called a micro-rotor.
- This micro-rotor is integrated in the movement and therefore does not overhang it, which in most cases leads to a decrease in the thickness of the timepiece.
- the micro-rotor Since the moment of inertia of an oscillating mass depends on its radius, its thickness and its material, the loss generated by the reduction of radius observed on the micro-rotor must be compensated by an increase in its thickness. As a result, the micro-rotor will have a large thickness and will be made of a single block of a single heavy material thus removing the elastic mass support which was discussed above. The system then no longer having the required elasticity, the suspension around which is articulated the micro-rotor undergoes the entire stress caused by a shock applied to the oscillating weight and may be damaged.
- Part of the shock in question could be compensated by increasing the axial play of the rotor on its shaft, but then the face of the rotor lying opposite the bottom of the timepiece could come into contact with the bottom and be damaged as well as the decoration likely to be affixed to it.
- the present invention in addition to meeting the preliminary description given in the first paragraph of this description, is remarkable in that the oscillating mass is supported by a shock absorber presented under the form of a plate whose one end is fixed to this mass and whose other end is fixed to a tube arranged to rotate about a shaft constituting the axis of rotation of said mass.
- the Figures 1 and 2 are simplified sections showing the principle of the invention. They show an oscillating mass 2 intended for the automatic winding of a clockwork movement 3 which is briefly sketched in figure 5 .
- the mass 2 is pivotally off-center relative to the center of the movement, is integrated in this movement and is made of a single heavy material.
- the mass 2 is supported by a shock absorber 1 which is in the form of a plate 4, one end of which is fixed to this plate (at the place marked by an X) and whose other end is fixed or is secured to a tube 5, the latter being arranged to rotate about a shaft 6 constituting the axis 7 of rotation of said mass.
- the damper 1 which thus preserves the integrity of the shaft 6 around which the mass 2 rotates, the suspension of the mass no longer suffering the totality of the stress caused by this shock and no longer risking being damaged.
- the left part of the figure 1 presents the oscillating mass 2 in its normal situation, that is to say when the timepiece is not affected by any shock.
- the right part of the figure 1 presents the situation of the oscillating mass 2 when the timepiece is struck axially in the direction of the arrow A.
- the mass 2 has collapsed by distance - h relative to its normal position, causing the plate 4 to flex and play its role of shock absorber 1 as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
- the left part of the figure 2 presents the same oscillating mass 2 in normal situation, the timepiece being affected by no shock.
- the right part of the figure 2 presents the situation of the mass 2 when the timepiece is struck axially and in the direction of the arrow B, opposite the direction of the arrow A.
- the mass 2 has risen by a distance + h relative to in its normal position, causing the plate 4 to flex and play again its role of shock absorber 1 as shown in FIG. figure 2 .
- the plate 4 serving as shock absorber 1 between the oscillating mass 2 and the plate 8 that includes the movement 3. It follows from this provision that the face 23 of the mass 2 which is opposite to that to which is fixed plate 4 is located directly on the bottom that presents the timepiece. This face 23 may be provided with a decoration that can be made visible if the background is a sapphire crystal for example. If the mass 2 is not provided with abutment means to limit axial fretting during impact, its decorated face may come into contact with the bottom and be damaged.
- Figures 3 and 4 are simplified representations of a principle taken as an example.
- the figure 3 is a plan view of this embodiment and the figure 4 a section on an enlarged scale along line IV - IV of the figure 3 .
- the abutment means consist of a groove 15 formed in the oscillating mass 2.
- this groove 15 penetrates with play a retaining tab 16 which can terminate a limiting bridge 17 as will be apparent on the figure 6 . Games will be calculated from so that the mass 2 never come to touch in case of shock neither the bottom, nor the turntable of the timepiece.
- the figure 5 is a plan view and the figure 6 an enlarged section on line VI - VI of the figure 5 of a practical and particular embodiment of the present invention.
- the figure 5 is a partial side view of the timepiece where we see the oscillating mass 2 integrated with the movement 3.
- the face 23 of the mass 2 can be provided with a decoration and appear through a transparent background.
- the figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of the mechanism of the present invention and makes it easier to understand the views and Figures 5 and 6 respectively.
- the plate 4 acting as shock absorber 1 and defined above has the shape of a sector 9 substantially semicircular.
- This sector 9 is fixed in its peripheral zone 10 to the oscillating mass 2 and in its central zone 11 to the tube 5.
- the intermediate zone 12 located between said peripheral and central zones has an elastic medium capable of flexing in the event of impacts on the oscillating weight 2.
- One way of making the intermediate zone 12 of the sector 9 elastic is to provide voids which allow the arms connecting the central zone 11 to remain at the peripheral zone 10, as is well explained in the disclosure. CH 279 001 cited above. If the thickness of the sector 9 is sufficiently thin the arms will have the desired flexibility.
- the figure 8 is a plan view of an embodiment of sector 9 presented in perspective on the figure 7 . It can be seen that the intermediate zone 12 comprises three elastic arms 18, 19 and 20 originating in the peripheral zone 10 and moving towards the central zone 11 which surrounds the axis of rotation 7 of the oscillating mass 2.
- the figure 9 is a plan view of another embodiment of the sector 9 constituting the shock absorber of the present invention.
- the intermediate zone 12 has only two elastic arms 13 and 14 connecting the peripheral 10 and central 11 zones of the sector 9.
- the shaft 6 and its axis 7 around which rotates the oscillating mass 2 is integral with the plate 8 of the movement 3 sketched in figure 5 .
- the mass 2 is supported by the semicircular sector 9.
- the peripheral zone 10 of this sector 9 is fixed to the mass 2 by means of screws 21.
- the central zone 11 of this same sector 9 is fixed to the tube 5 by means of 22.
- the tube 5 rotates freely around the shaft 6.
- a ball bearing 25 is disposed between the shaft 6 and the tube 5.
- the ring 26 of the bearing 25 is driven inside the tube 5 and the part central 27 of the same bearing 25 is fitted on the shaft 6 and is held there axially between a shoulder 28 formed on the shaft 6 and a key 29.
- the tube 5 drives a wheel 30 which is fixed to the tube 5 by the same screws 22 used to attach the sector 9 to the tube 5.
- the figure 6 shows that the sector 9 is sandwiched between the tube 5 and the wheel 30.
- the same figure still shows that the wheel 30 drives a first intermediate mobile 31 starting a chain leading to a ratchet to go up.
- the shaft 32 of this first mobile is pivoted between the plate 8 and a bridge 17 which is extended by the tongue 16 limiting the axial frustum of the mass 2, this tongue being introduced into the throat 15 which was discussed above. .
