Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more specifically to a device for correcting a display mechanism of a time indication, such as a date, a day of the week, a month, etc.
  • the display mechanisms of a time indication generally comprise one or more display members, such as disks or rings, rotated by a drive mechanism.
  • Correction devices for such display mechanisms are well known to those skilled in the art. They mainly comprise a winding stem arranged to occupy at least one correction position of the time indication, a pinion integral in rotation with the winding stem, a return engaged with the pinion when the rod is in the correction position and a correction mobile actuated by the return and cooperating with a first display member.
  • the set is usually mounted on a plate, dial side.
  • the document is particularly known US 196,252A , disclosing a device for correcting a time indication provided by a timepiece display mechanism comprising a display member, such that the correction device comprises a winding stem arranged to occupy at least one position of correction of the time indication, a pinion mounted integral in rotation with the winding stem, a corrective return cooperating with said display member and actuated by the corrector.
  • the corrective return is formed of a ring engaged at least indirectly with the corrective mobile, and the correcting deflection is off-center with respect to the turntable of the timepiece.
  • a disadvantage of this correction device is that it is not suitable for display members in the form of ring, to display a clearer information.
  • the document is also known JP 54 106271 A , disclosing a time indication correction device provided by a timepiece display mechanism comprising a display member formed of a ring.
  • the correction device comprises a winding stem arranged to occupy at least one correction position of the time indication, a pinion mounted to rotate with the winding stem, a corrective return cooperating with said display member and actuated by the corrective reference.
  • the corrective return is formed of a ring engaged at least indirectly with the corrective mobile.
  • the corrective return does not have a diameter that extends to the periphery of the turntable of the timepiece, so that it does not release the space to move the rocker-mobile corrector assembly to distance from the corrector rod.
  • the corrector mobile is mounted walker between two correction positions, the passage of a correction position to the other being done by reversing the direction of rotation of the winding stem .
  • the corrective mobile is, for example, mounted on a rocker actuated by the reference.
  • the assembly formed by the reference, the rocker and the corrective mobile is located at 3 o'clock, in the vicinity of the winding stem. It has a large footprint, which makes its integration inconvenient in the case where other parts are close to the winding stem. It's the case, particularly when the plate is crossed by axes of chronograph counters located near the winding stem.
  • the space available for the correction device of the display mechanism is then greatly limited.
  • the present invention makes it possible to overcome this disadvantage, by proposing a device for correcting a display mechanism of a time indication, of which the correction-mobile toggle unit is moved towards one of the sectors 9 hours, 6 hours. or 12 hours of platinum, while freeing up useful space on the platen.
  • the corrective return frees space inside its inner circumference, which allows to house parts, for example counters axes.
  • the rocker-mobile correction unit may be substantially removed from the immediate vicinity of the winding stem, while releasing a large space to the inside of the correction mark.
  • the corrective reference surrounds all the counters axes, and moves the corrective toggle-mobile assembly to 9 hours.
  • the date indicator 20 and the day display member are rotated by a drive mechanism 38 located at 11 o'clock, comprising a driving wheel 40, formed of a wheel 42 and a finger 44 integral in rotation.
  • the finger 44 cooperates on the one hand with the toothing 24 and, on the other hand, with the star of days 34.
  • the wheel 42 is itself driven by a pinion 46, kinematically connected to the movement by an axis passing through the plate 10.
  • the display mechanism 12 thus described is intended to take place behind a not shown dial. It allows the display of the date, through a first wicket practiced in the dial, and the corresponding day of the week, through the day hand cooperating with indications of days affixed to the dial.
  • the correction device 14 of the display mechanism 12 conventionally comprises a winding shaft 50 mounted rotatably guided in the plate 10.
  • a sliding pinion 52 is mounted to rotate with the winding rod 50, movable between a correction position A and a winding position B. In correction position A, it meshes with a first intermediate return 54, mounted free to rotate on the plate 10, and itself in taken with a second intermediate return 56 rotatably mounted on the calendar board 26.
  • the second intermediate gear 56 is engaged with a corrector 58 formed of a ring 60 provided with an internal toothing 62.
  • the corrector 58 is rotatably guided by its outer circumference, on the calendar board 26.
  • a clearance 63 is provided in the calendar board 26. It is, in addition, held axially by three screws 64a, 64b, 64c distributed angularly at its periphery. Its diameter is close to the diameter of the date indicator 20, and it is positioned substantially centered, around the axes 15, 16 and 18, of the various elements of the drive mechanism 38, and the correction device 14.
  • the corrective switch 58 actuates a double corrector 66 mounted at 9 o'clock on the calendar board 26, and formed of a corrective mobile 68 mounted on a flip-flop 70.
  • the flip-flop 70 is pivotally mounted between a first and a second correction position, respectively A 'and B', about a pivot axis XX perpendicular to the plate 10. It comprises a board 72 mounted on a control wheel 74, axis of rotation coinciding with the pivot axis XX, in The control wheel 74 is further rendered partially integral with the board 72 by means of friction 76.
  • a pinion 78 is mounted on the board 72, integral in rotation with the control wheel 74.
  • the corrective mobile meshes with the toothing 24 of the date indicator 20, and in the second correction position B', it meshes with an intermediate star 80; -even in taken in conjunction with the correction star 36.
  • the correction mobile device 68 is mounted in an oblong hole made in the calendar board 26, according to a technique well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the correction device 14 thus described has two important advantages over a conventional device.
  • space is released at its center. This space is occupied, in this case, by parts belonging to the drive mechanism 38, to the correction device 14 itself, and by the axes 15, 16 and 18.
  • the corrector 58 allows to move the double corrector 66, which, due to the presence of the axis of the minute counter 16 to 4 hours, can not be mounted in the vicinity of the winding stem 50.
  • the double corrector 66 is moved at 9 o'clock, but it could be also at 6 o'clock or at 12 o'clock, or at any location of the free plate 10 to receive it. In addition, the double corrector 66 is moved relative to the plate 10, without losing any useful space thereon.
  • This arrangement of the correction device 14 is advantageous for a plate 10 pierced with several axes, virtually regardless of the position of these axes. It will be seen later that other arrangements of the correction device 14 may be envisaged for particular axis positions.
  • the operation of the correction device 14 is as follows.
  • the winding stem 50 is actuated clockwise, the sliding pinion 52 being in the correction position A, the first intermediate return 54 is driven in the counter-clockwise direction, and it drives itself, the second intermediate return 56 clockwise.
  • the latter meshes with the corrective wheel 58, which rotates clockwise, and in turn drives the control wheel 74 of the latch 70 in the clockwise direction.
  • the control wheel 74 rotates the board 72 under the effect of the friction 76, until the corrective mobile 68 meshes with the date indicator 20.
  • the control wheel 74 then disengages from the board 72, and actuates the corrective mobile 68 via the pinion 78.
  • the corrective mobile 68 corrects the indicator of date 20 by turning it anti-clockwise.
  • FIGs 5 and 6 illustrate variants of the correction device 14 according to an example not forming part of the claimed invention.
  • the correction device 14 illustrated in figure 5 differs from the device illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 , in that the corrective return 58 is of a diameter smaller than the radius of the date indicator 20 and in that it is off-center with respect to the plate 10, so as to occupy essentially the quarter situated between 3 hours and 6 hours.
  • the space released at its center is essentially occupied by the counter axis 16 minutes.
  • the axis 15 in the center of the plate 10 is excluded from this space, unlike the previous embodiment.
  • the double corrector 66 is located at 6 o'clock, that is to say between the axes of the counters minutes 16 and hours 18.
  • the toothing 62 of the corrector 58 is located on its outer circumference and not inner, and the rotation guidance is ensured by its inner circumference.
  • This arrangement is suitable for a plate 10 pierced with a central axis 15, and two off-center axes 16 and 18, respectively at 4 o'clock and at 8 o'clock.
  • the correction device 14 illustrated in figure 6 differs from the above, in that the diameter of the corrector 58 is smaller than the diameter of the date indicator 20, but greater than its radius.
  • the corrective return 58 is, furthermore, off-center with respect to the plate 10, so as to occupy essentially the half between 9 hours and 3 hours.
  • the central axis 15 is included in the space released at its center.
  • the toothing 24 is external and not internal. The arrangement thus described is suitable for a plate pierced with four axes 15, 16, 18, 82 located respectively at the center, at 4 o'clock, at 8 o'clock and at 6 o'clock.
  • the rotational guidance of the corrector 58 is made by its outer or inner circumference.
  • the corrective return 58 may be, for example, formed of a ring 60 provided with a circular rib, engaged in a groove made in the calendar board 26.
  • the correction device 14 does not include a second intermediate reference 56 in the variants illustrated in FIG. Figures 5 and 6 . It will be understood, in the same way, that the first intermediate return 54 is not essential to the correction device 14, and that the corrector 58 can be mounted in direct connection with the sliding pinion 52.
