Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel for a timepiece.
  • the invention also relates to a clock mechanism incorporating such a memory wheel.
  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and more specifically watch mechanisms that can be integrated in watches.
  • Mechanical memories are known in the form of punched or machined cards or discs, for example having alternating toothed areas with non-serrated surfaces, or with grooves or cleats of different lengths. These devices are of perfect reliability, but realized once and for all. The only way to modify the adjustment data contained in these mechanical memories is to exchange them completely and to replace them with another similar medium, including other adjustment data.
  • a perpetual calendar mechanism that incorporates, in a watch application, memory wheels, which include a number of cutouts at the outer or inner periphery of a disk or ring, which are of varying widths and depths and correspond, for example, to a wheel of days of the month, to the changes of tens and to the 29th, 30th and 31st days of the month.
  • Some of these cuts including the last in the previous example, which is wide and stepped, can be obscured entirely or partially by a moving screen under the action of a cam or the like.
  • the occultation mechanism is bulky, which allows only a few memorizable positions.
  • a patent document CH 693 155 on behalf of STREHLER Andreas describes a switchable display mechanism to display two different information with the same needle.
  • a heart integral with a planet gear wheel of a planet gear is provided for analogically storing the difference between the values of the two pieces of information.
  • a first input of this planet gear is connected to the needle, the second input is driven to represent the value of the second information.
  • the position of the planet wheel, output of the differential represents the difference between the values of the two pieces of information.
  • the movements of the second input wheel of the differential are then transmitted to the needle whose position changes according to the value of the second information.
  • a second heart with a second hammer constitutes the disengageable link between the first information and the needle. This device is complex and expensive to deal with the case of time zones between which the difference does not vary over time.
  • the patent document is still known WO 2007/115984 in the name of FREDERIC PIGUET SA, which discloses a mechanism for storing a time difference between two time zones, and switch display means to indicate the time of one or other of these time zones.
  • This mechanism comprises a rotating core connected to the time display means by a kinematic chain, and cooperates selectively with one or the other of two levers each corresponding to the display of one of these spindles.
  • the switching is manual, and the time difference between the spindles is determined by the relative position of one lever relative to the other.
  • This heart is asymmetrical, and it performs a complete rotation in 48 hours.
  • Control means are provided for adjusting the time difference between the spindles by changing the position of at least one of the levers around the core.
  • the invention seeks to solve this problem of producing a programmable mechanical memory, which can be reprogrammable by the user, and in particular by the end user of a watch movement, such as the wearer of a watch. In short, it is easy to memorize settings made by the user, very reliably and accurately.
  • the present invention relates to a programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel for a clockwork mechanism, comprising a wheel that is movable about an axis of rotation, characterized in that it comprises a pivotally movable core with respect to said wheel, between indexing positions that comprises said wheel with which said core is arranged adapted to cooperate by an indexing finger that it comprises and to which it is recalled radially by elastic return means, said core comprising at least a bearing surface arranged to cooperate with a mechanism incorporating said memory wheel.
  • the invention also relates to a clock mechanism incorporating at least one such memory wheel, characterized in that it comprises, in the vicinity of each of said wheels, support means arranged to cooperate disengageably with said support surface that includes said memory wheel.
  • the invention makes it possible to store on a wheel of a watchmaking mechanism as many adjustments as indexing positions, achievable by cutting or milling according to proven technologies, and to make available the use of the adjustment active at a given moment by the cooperation of the heart with the watchmaking mechanism.
  • This same cooperation also makes it possible to modify the programming by forced displacement, against the elastic return means, of the indexing finger from one indexing position to another.
  • the present invention relates to a clock mechanism arranged to store settings chosen by the user.
  • such a mechanism is based on the use of at least one programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel, which constitutes a physical support for the mechanical storage of a particular setting.
  • Such a memory wheel 30 for a clockwork mechanism comprises a wheel 31 that is mobile about an axis of rotation 33, and that includes rotational drive means 36.
  • this wheel 31 is toothed and has a toothing 32, which constitutes these rotational drive means 36.
  • this toothing 32 is external, but the invention is applicable in the same way if the toothing 32 is internal, or according to a bell, or other.
  • the invention is still applicable, without departing from its spirit and its essential characteristics, to a wheel which would not be toothed, but which comprises other drive means 36, such as a pulley which has a groove or the like for the support of a drive belt, or chain, or the like, or such a wheel provided with pins or the like, or such a wheel having a friction surface for its drive.
  • other drive means 36 such as a pulley which has a groove or the like for the support of a drive belt, or chain, or the like, or such a wheel provided with pins or the like, or such a wheel having a friction surface for its drive.
  • the memory wheel 30 comprises a core 40, which is pivotally movable relative to the wheel 31, preferably around the axis of rotation 33, between indexing positions 34 that comprises the wheel 31.
  • the core 40 comprises indexing means 46, in particular an indexing finger 41, with which it can cooperate with these indexing positions, one at a time.
  • This indexing finger 41 in particular made in the form of a pin 42, as visible in the figure, is biased radially by elastic return means 43, in particular by a spring 44, towards the indexing positions 34.
  • the elastic return means 43 can work in compression, as in the example of the figure, or in tension.
  • the core 40 comprises at least one bearing surface 45, which is arranged to cooperate with a complementary surface that comprises a mechanism incorporating the memory wheel 30.
  • this bearing surface 45 corresponds, in a section of the heart 40, which is substantially plane and substantially perpendicular to a radial axis of rotation 33 as visible in the first variant of the figure 1 , or with a female V-shaped profile substantially symmetrical with respect to such a radial in the second variant of FIG. figure 2 at the portion of the peripheral surface of the core 40 which is closest to this axis of rotation 43.
  • bearing surface 45 may take other forms, concave or convex, and in particular profiles capable of to ensure the pivoting drive of the core, when the mechanism incorporating the memory wheel comprises complementary means capable of providing a driving function, such as a male vee for the example of the figure 2 .
  • the remainder of the periphery 47 of the core 40 advantageously has an ovoid or cardioid cam profile, and is not necessarily symmetrical, as can be seen in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the indexing positions 34 consist of notches 35 distributed over a sector centered on the axis of rotation 33.
  • the indexing positions 34 are distributed over a complete circumference.
  • the notches 35 are open towards the axis of rotation 33.
  • the notches 35 are open towards the periphery of the wheel 31. It will be understood that, in order to lower the manufacturing cost, it may be advantageous to make only external cuts, for a toothing 32, and for the notches The wheel 31 is then advantageously stepped.
  • the notches 35 are equidistant.
  • the notches 35 are drawn with slopes or shelves on either side of a hollow central part forming the receptacle of the indexing finger 41.
  • the latter can slide or roll from one notch to another, under the effect of the application of a tangential force applied by the wheel 31, provided that the radial component of the reaction of the wall of the notch 35 to this force is greater and in the opposite direction to the centrifugal return force, or centripetal as the case may be, exercised by spring 44.
  • this clock mechanism comprises support means arranged to cooperate disengageably with the surface of the clock. support 45 of each memory wheel 30 that includes this clock mechanism.
  • support means are specific to each memory wheel 30, or support means may serve several memory wheels 30, or all of those that includes the watch mechanism concerned.
  • the limitation of the number of memory wheels is imposed by the space available in the case of the watch mechanism and by the desired functionalities.
