Abstract

Le mécanisme comprend une aiguille (7) de fraction de secondes entraînée directement ou indirectement en rotation par un bras palpeur (27), pivoté sur une platine dont le basculement est déclenché par les moyens d'arrêt (11) du chronographe et dont l'amplitude du débattement est contrôlée par l'arrivée de son bec (29) en butée sur une came circulaire (19) entraînée directement ou indirectement par la roue de chronographe (10) et comportant x cames élémentaires (22) correspondant chacune à une seconde, lesdites cames élémentaires (22) ayant toutes un même contour déterminant le débattement du bras palpeur (27) et permettant de diviser une seconde en fractions de seconde.The mechanism comprises a fractional second hand (7) driven directly or indirectly in rotation by a probe arm (27), pivoted on a plate whose tilting is triggered by the stop means (11) of the chronograph and whose amplitude of the deflection is controlled by the arrival of its nose (29) in abutment on a circular cam (19) driven directly or indirectly by the chronograph wheel (10) and having x elementary cams (22) each corresponding to a second, said elementary cams (22) all having the same contour determining the movement of the feeler arm (27) and making it possible to divide a second in fractions of a second.

Le mécanisme est également applicable à une montre-chronographe à rattrapante.
