Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gaming catch-up mechanism for a watch movement.
- the present invention relates to a play-catching mechanism of the type comprising a cam, an actuating member resting against the cam and a wheel coaxial with the cam and intended to be driven by a work train, the cam and the wheel being connected to each other so that a rotation turn of the wheel comprises a succession of a first phase where the wheel drives the cam while the cooperation between the cam and the body of the wheel. actuation arms the latter, a second phase where the actuator makes an instant jump to the cam, and a third phase where the cam is immobilized and the wheel continues to advance to catch the cam to train again in the first phase of the next turn.
- the game-catching mechanism is a part of an instant-jump calendar display mechanism.
- the wheel performs one turn per 24 hours under the action of the motion display time of the movement and the cam drives a drive member which itself moves a date indicator a step once per 24 hours at midnight, during the instant jump of the cam.
- the support of the actuating member on the cam generates a return torque in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cam and the wheel, and this torque is transmitted to the wheel and propagates upstream to the roadway movement which eliminates the gear games in the time display gear.
- the third phase lasts until the wheel has caught the angular position of the cam, typically several hours.
- the gear sets in the time display gear are not overtaken, so that in the event of shock to the watch unwanted relative movements of the hands may occur.
- Such relative displacements may also occur if a time setting or time zone correction is performed in a sense that the games add up.
- This problem is particularly critical in the case of a watch having several hour hands, for example needles of two different time zones making a turn in 12 hours or a hand of the hours making a turn in 12 hours and another hour hand taking a turn in 24 hours, and when a differential is used to allow the correction of one of the needles independently of the other.
- the differential significantly increases the gear sets so that significant offsets can appear between the hour hands, on the one hand, and between each of these hands and the minute hand, on the other hand, during a shock, a time setting or a correction.
- These offsets visible to the user, will not be caught until the gear sets have themselves been caught by the normal operation of the train after the shock, setting time or correction. This catch-up can take several tens of minutes.
- the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks, or at least to mitigate them, and proposes for this purpose a mechanism for catching play of the type mentioned above, characterized in that it further comprises elastic means acting between the cam and the wheel and applying a restoring torque to the wheel during the third phase.
- the elastic means may comprise a spring whose ends are integral with the cam and the wheel respectively.
- the spring may be a coil spring coaxial with the cam and the wheel.
- the mechanism according to the invention may also comprise a hub around which is mounted the wheel and whose cam is integral, and the spring may be located around the hub and have its ends respectively fixed to the hub and the wheel.
- At least one of the ends of the spring can be secured to the cam or the wheel by a hook.
- the cam and the wheel can be linked by an eccentric pin fixed to the cam and cooperating with an oblong opening made in the wheel, in the form of a circular arc centered on the axis of the wheel.
- the actuating member may comprise a rocker and a spring applying the rocker against the cam.
- the present invention also relates to an instant jump display mechanism comprising a play-catching mechanism as defined above, a drive member driven by the cam of the play-catching mechanism and an indicator driven by the driving member.
- the drive member may be integral with the cam and project radially from the hub.
- the indicator is for example a date indicator.
- the present invention also relates to a watch movement comprising a game-catching mechanism or an instant-jump display mechanism as defined above.
- This movement may include a time display train which drives the play catch mechanism, said time display train comprising a differential gear connecting a mobile carrying a first hour indicator hand to another mobile bearing a second indicator hour hand.
- the present invention also relates to a watch comprising a watch movement as defined above.
- a mechanical watch movement comprises, on a plate 1, a cylinder, a work train, an escapement, a regulating member (not shown) and a time display train 2 driving pointer needles in rotation over a dial 3.
- the time display train 2 comprises a roadway 4, a road wheel 5, a wheel and a timer gear 6, 7, a wheel and a gear wheel of 24. hours 8, 9, a differential gear 10 and a 12 hour wheel and pinion 11, 12.
- the carriageway 4 carries a minute indicator hand making one revolution per hour.
- the road wheel 5 is frictionally mounted on the roadway 4 and is driven by the small average gear of the finishing gear train, designated at the figure 2 by the reference 5a.
- the roadway 4 drives the timer wheel 6 which drives, via the timer gear 7 which is secured thereto, the 24-hour wheel 8.
- the 24-hour wheel 8 is rigidly mounted on a tube or barrel 13 freely surrounding 4.
- the tube 13 defines the 24 hour pinion 9 and carries a first hour indicator needle, said 24 hour hand, making a turn in 24 hours.
- the 24-hour gear 9 drives a mobile comprising the 12-hour gear 12, the 12-hour wheel 11 and a central tube 14 integral with each other.
- the tube 14 freely surrounds the tube 13 and carries a second hour indicator needle, said 12-hour hand, making one turn per 12 hours.
- the differential gear 10 comprises a planet carrier 15 mounted freely around the tube 13 and having a toothing 16 at its periphery, and a satellite mobile pivotally mounted about an eccentric pin 17 fixed to the planet carrier 15.
- the satellite mobile comprises a pinion 18 which meshes with the pinion 24 hours 9 and a wheel 19 which is integral with the pinion 18 and which meshes with the pinion 12 hours 12.
- the planet carrier 15 In normal operation, the planet carrier 15 is locked in rotation and the differential gear 10 only serves as a reduction gear for driving the 12 hour pinion 12 from the 24 hour pinion 9.
- the toothing 16 of the planet carrier 15 is engaged with a coaxial wheel 20 integral with a star 21 on which a positioning jumper 22 acts.
- the wheel 20 can be actuated by the winding stem 23 of the movement by the intermediate of a gear train 24 when the winding stem 23 is in an intermediate axial position between the winding position and the setting time setting position.
- a time setting can be performed by turning the winding stem 23 when it is in its axial position of setting time.
- the rotation of the winding stem 23 actuates the timer wheel 6 via a gear train (not shown), thereby simultaneously rotating the minute hand, the 12-hour hand and the 24-hour hand. .
- the movement according to the invention also comprises a visible date display mechanism 25 visible to figures 1 and 3 .
- This mechanism 25 comprises an intermediate mobile 26, a driving mobile 27, an actuating member 28 and an indicator disc 29 bearing the numbers 1 to 31 of the days of the month visible successively through a window 30 made in the dial 3.
- the intermediate wheel 26 is driven by the 12 hour wheel 11 and comprises a wheel 31 and a pinion 32 integral with each other.
- the wheel 31 meshes with the 12-hour wheel 11 and the pinion 32 meshes with a wheel 33 of the drive wheel 27 to drive the wheel 33 at a rate of one revolution per 24 hours.
- the drive wheel 27 further comprises a hub 34 mounted free to rotate about a fixed axis 35, that is to say integral in rotation with the plate 1.
- a hub 34 mounted free to rotate about a fixed axis 35, that is to say integral in rotation with the plate 1.
- a drive finger 37 integral with the hub 34 and preferably formed integrally therewith.
- Around the other axial end 38 of the hub 34 is rigidly fixed an instantaneous jump cam 39.
- the wheel 33 is mounted freely around the hub 34, between the cam 39 and an assembly part 40 rigidly fixed to the hub 34.
- wheel 33 is connected to cam 39 so that it can move in rotation relative thereto only at a predetermined angle.
- an eccentric pin 41 driven into the cam 39 passes into an oblong opening 42 formed in the wheel 33 and having the shape of a circular arc centered on the axis of the wheel 33 (cf. figure 3 ).
- the cam 39 has a first portion 43 in the form of a spiral portion extending from the center of the cam 39 to a vertex 44, a second convex portion 45 approaching the center of the cam 39 from the top 44 and a third portion 46 shaped hollow.
- the actuating member 28 comprises a flip-flop 47 pivoting at a point 48 and a spring 49 permanently applying and holding the flip-flop 47 against the cam 39.
- the flip-flop 47 cooperates with the cam 39 via a roller 50 .
- the latch 47 exerts on the cam 39 and thus on the wheel 33 (due to the cooperation between the pin 41 and the end 52 of the opening 42) a return torque, that is to say say a torque tending to turn the wheel 33 and the cam 39 in the direction opposite to the direction R.
- This restoring torque propagates to the gear between the wheel on the road 5 and the small average gear 5a and catches up thus all the gears of the gears of the display gear of the hour 2, the gear sets of the cogwheel of finishing being they already caught up by the tension exerted by the barrel.
- the needles will not shift or little relative to each other, as the latch 47 will remain in place.
- the flip-flop 47 no longer exerts a restoring torque so that if no play-catching device is provided, as is the case in the case state of the art, the gear sets will not be caught.
- a differential gear such as the gear 10 illustrated in FIG. figure 1 significantly increases the gear sets. If a time setting is performed by turning the hands counter-clockwise, or if a correction of the angular position of the 12-hour hand is performed counter-clockwise, the gear sets are will add up and a significant shift between the 12-hour and 24-hour hands may appear, as well as between each of these needles and the minute hand. Such shifts may also occur in case of shock suffered by the watch.
- a return spring 54 is disposed around the hub 34 and its ends are respectively fixed to the wheel 33 and the hub 34 of which the cam 39 is secured.
- the spring 54 is a coil spring and its ends are fixed to the wheel 33 and the hub 34 by means of hooks 55, 56 (cf. figures 1 and 4 ).
- the hook 55 hooks into an opening 57 formed in the wheel 33 while the hook 56 clings to the junction between the hub 34 and the drive finger 37.
- the spring 54 could be attached to the wheel 33 and the hub 34 in a different manner.
- the spring 54 is stretched in torsion and tends to bring the pin 41 and the end 53 of the opening 42 from each other but the action of the latch 47 on the first portion 43 of the cam 39 is stronger than the action of the spring 54 so that the pin 41 remains in abutment against the end 52 of the opening 42, allowing the wheel 33 to drive the cam 39.
- the spring 54 relaxes and therefore acts in the same direction as the latch 47, which facilitates the instantaneous jump of the cam 39.
- the spring 54 is stretched as the wheel 33 advances and thus exerts on the latter a restoring torque which eliminates the gear sets in the gear train d time display 2, like the action of the latch 47 during the first phase.
- the spring 54 is prestressed so that it begins to exert said return torque from the beginning of the third phase, just after the instantaneous jump.
- the spring 54 could be of another type than a coil spring. It could for example consist of a form spring whose heel would be fixed, for example riveted, to the wheel 33 and the end of its blade would be fixed, for example hooked, to the pin 41, or a spring-shaped spiral whose inner part would be fixed around an axial annular projection of the wheel 33 and the outer part would be fixed to the pin 41.
- the spring 54 for example a leaf spring such as the spring 49, could to be fixed to the wheel 33 and could act on a rocker itself pivoted on the wheel 33 and acting on a second cam integral with the cam 39. The second cam would thus have the function of tensioning the spring fixed to the wheel 33 during the third phase, like the action of the first portion 43 of the cam 39 during the first phase.
- a coil spring is nevertheless preferred in the present invention. Indeed, it is important to reduce as much as possible the return torque difference between the beginning and the end of the third phase so that the return torque of the spring is strong enough without the torque required to reset the spring is too high .
- the active length of the spring must be as large as possible. Or a coil spring has a large active length.
- a coil spring is naturally guided by the part, here the hub 34, around which it is mounted. No additional elements are necessary for its guidance.
- the drive finger 37 may not be integral with the cam 39 but be driven by the pin 41, as is known per se.
- the present invention is not limited to such an application, nor to an application where several hour hands are provided. .
- the assembly formed by the intermediate wheel 26, the wheel 33, the cam 39, the pin 41, the actuating member 28 and the spring 54 constitutes a catch-up mechanism that could be used without being associated with a drive finger and an indicator, which could be deleted or driven by another mechanism of movement.
- the aforementioned set could thus be used only to tension the time display wheel 2 or another gear to remove the gear sets.

Description
La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu pour mouvement d'horlogerie.The present invention relates to a gaming catch-up mechanism for a watch movement.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention concerne un mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu du type comprenant une came, un organe d'actionnement s'appuyant contre la came et une roue coaxiale à la came et destinée à être entraînée par un rouage du mouvement, la came et la roue étant liées l'une à l'autre de telle sorte qu'un tour de rotation de la roue comprenne une succession d'une première phase où la roue entraîne la came tandis que la coopération entre la came et l'organe d'actionnement arme ce dernier, d'une deuxième phase où l'organe d'actionnement fait faire un saut instantané à la came, et d'une troisième phase où la came est immobilisée et la roue continue à avancer jusqu'à rattraper la came pour l'entraîner à nouveau lors de la première phase du tour suivant.More particularly, the present invention relates to a play-catching mechanism of the type comprising a cam, an actuating member resting against the cam and a wheel coaxial with the cam and intended to be driven by a work train, the cam and the wheel being connected to each other so that a rotation turn of the wheel comprises a succession of a first phase where the wheel drives the cam while the cooperation between the cam and the body of the wheel. actuation arms the latter, a second phase where the actuator makes an instant jump to the cam, and a third phase where the cam is immobilized and the wheel continues to advance to catch the cam to train again in the first phase of the next turn.
Des montres actuellement sur le marché sont équipées d'un tel mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu. Dans ces montres, le mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu est une partie d'un mécanisme d'affichage du quantième à saut instantané. La roue effectue un tour par 24 heures sous l'action du rouage d'affichage de l'heure du mouvement et la came entraîne un organe d'entraînement qui lui-même déplace un indicateur de quantième d'un pas une fois par 24 heures, à minuit, lors du saut instantané de la came. Pendant la première phase, avant ce saut instantané, l'appui de l'organe d'actionnement sur la came génère un couple de rappel de sens inverse au sens de rotation de la came et de la roue, et ce couple est transmis à la roue et se propage en amont jusqu'à la chaussée du mouvement ce qui supprime les jeux d'engrenage dans le rouage d'affichage de l'heure. Pendant la troisième phase, après le saut instantané, un tel couple de rappel n'est plus généré car alors la came est immobilisée par la coopération entre l'organe d'actionnement et un creux de la came dans une position angulaire située en avance par rapport à la roue et la roue est libre par rapport à la came.Watches currently on the market are equipped with such a game-catching mechanism. In these watches, the game-catching mechanism is a part of an instant-jump calendar display mechanism. The wheel performs one turn per 24 hours under the action of the motion display time of the movement and the cam drives a drive member which itself moves a date indicator a step once per 24 hours at midnight, during the instant jump of the cam. During the first phase, before this instantaneous jump, the support of the actuating member on the cam generates a return torque in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cam and the wheel, and this torque is transmitted to the wheel and propagates upstream to the roadway movement which eliminates the gear games in the time display gear. During the third phase, after the instantaneous jump, such a return torque is no longer generated because then the cam is immobilized by the cooperation between the actuating member and a recess of the cam in an angular position located in advance by relative to the wheel and the wheel is free with respect to the cam.
La troisième phase dure jusqu'à ce que la roue ait rattrapé la position angulaire de la came, soit typiquement plusieurs heures. Pendant tout ce temps, les jeux d'engrenage dans le rouage d'affichage de l'heure ne sont pas rattrapés, si bien qu'en cas de choc subi par la montre des déplacements relatifs non désirés des aiguilles peuvent se produire. De tels déplacements relatifs peuvent aussi se produire si une mise à l'heure ou une correction de fuseau horaire est effectuée dans un sens où les jeux s'additionnent. Ce problème est particulièrement critique dans le cas d'une montre comportant plusieurs aiguilles des heures, par exemple des aiguilles de deux fuseaux horaires différents faisant un tour en 12 heures ou une aiguille des heures faisant un tour en 12 heures et une autre aiguille des heures faisant un tour en 24 heures, et lorsqu'un différentiel est utilisé pour permettre la correction d'une des aiguilles indépendamment de l'autre. Dans ce cas, en effet, le différentiel augmente significativement les jeux d'engrenage de sorte que des décalages importants peuvent apparaître entre les aiguilles des heures, d'une part, et entre chacune de ces aiguilles et l'aiguille des minutes, d'autre part, lors d'un choc, d'une mise à l'heure ou d'une correction. Ces décalages, visibles par l'utilisateur, ne seront rattrapés qu'une fois que les jeux d'engrenage auront eux-mêmes été rattrapés par le fonctionnement normal du rouage après le choc, la mise à l'heure ou la correction. Ce rattrapage peut prendre plusieurs dizaines de minutes.The third phase lasts until the wheel has caught the angular position of the cam, typically several hours. During all this time, the gear sets in the time display gear are not overtaken, so that in the event of shock to the watch unwanted relative movements of the hands may occur. Such relative displacements may also occur if a time setting or time zone correction is performed in a sense that the games add up. This problem is particularly critical in the case of a watch having several hour hands, for example needles of two different time zones making a turn in 12 hours or a hand of the hours making a turn in 12 hours and another hour hand taking a turn in 24 hours, and when a differential is used to allow the correction of one of the needles independently of the other. In this case, in fact, the differential significantly increases the gear sets so that significant offsets can appear between the hour hands, on the one hand, and between each of these hands and the minute hand, on the other hand, during a shock, a time setting or a correction. These offsets, visible to the user, will not be caught until the gear sets have themselves been caught by the normal operation of the train after the shock, setting time or correction. This catch-up can take several tens of minutes.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients, ou au moins à les atténuer, et propose à cette fin un mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu du type mentionné ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte en outre des moyens élastiques agissant entre la came et la roue et appliquant un couple de rappel à la roue pendant la troisième phase.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks, or at least to mitigate them, and proposes for this purpose a mechanism for catching play of the type mentioned above, characterized in that it further comprises elastic means acting between the cam and the wheel and applying a restoring torque to the wheel during the third phase.
Les moyens élastiques peuvent comprendre un ressort dont les extrémités sont solidaires de la came et de la roue respectivement.The elastic means may comprise a spring whose ends are integral with the cam and the wheel respectively.
Le ressort peut être un ressort à boudin coaxial à la came et à la roue.The spring may be a coil spring coaxial with the cam and the wheel.
Le mécanisme selon l'invention peut aussi comporter un moyeu autour duquel est montée la roue et dont la came est solidaire, et le ressort peut être situé autour de ce moyeu et avoir ses extrémités fixées respectivement au moyeu et à la roue.The mechanism according to the invention may also comprise a hub around which is mounted the wheel and whose cam is integral, and the spring may be located around the hub and have its ends respectively fixed to the hub and the wheel.
L'une au moins des extrémités du ressort peut être rendue solidaire de la came, respectivement de la roue, par un crochet.At least one of the ends of the spring can be secured to the cam or the wheel by a hook.
La came et la roue peuvent être liées par une goupille excentrée fixée à la came et coopérant avec une ouverture oblongue pratiquée dans la roue, en forme d'arc de cercle centré sur l'axe de la roue.The cam and the wheel can be linked by an eccentric pin fixed to the cam and cooperating with an oblong opening made in the wheel, in the form of a circular arc centered on the axis of the wheel.
L'organe d'actionnement peut comprendre une bascule et un ressort appliquant la bascule contre la came.The actuating member may comprise a rocker and a spring applying the rocker against the cam.
La présente invention porte également sur un mécanisme d'affichage à saut instantané comprenant un mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu tel que défini ci-dessus, un organe d'entraînement entraîné par la came du mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu et un indicateur entraîné par l'organe d'entraînement.The present invention also relates to an instant jump display mechanism comprising a play-catching mechanism as defined above, a drive member driven by the cam of the play-catching mechanism and an indicator driven by the driving member.
L'organe d'entraînement peut être solidaire de la came et faire saille radialement depuis le moyeu.The drive member may be integral with the cam and project radially from the hub.
L'indicateur est par exemple un indicateur de quantième.The indicator is for example a date indicator.

Du fait de la rotation continue de la roue 33 à raison d'un tour par 24 heures sous l'action du rouage d'affichage de l'heure 2 exercée par l'intermédiaire du mobile 26, le doigt d'entraînement 37 rencontre une fois par jour, à minuit, une dent de la denture 51 pour entraîner le disque indicateur de quantième 29 d'un pas. Chaque tour de rotation de la roue 33 se décompose en une succession de trois phases, à savoir :
- une première phase, typiquement d'environ 18 heures, durant laquelle la goupille 41 est située à une extrémité 52 de l'ouverture oblongue 42, comme montré par les traits pointillés aux
figures 3 et 4 , et est poussée par la paroi de cette ouverture 42, ce qui entraîne la came 39 en rotation de manière solidaire avec la roue 33 dans le sens indiqué par la flèche R et fait rouler le galet 50 sur la première partie 43 de la came 39 ; durant cette phase, la bascule 47 est soulevée par la première partie 43 de la came 39 ce qui arme le ressort 49 ; - une deuxième phase, commençant dès que le galet 50 passe le sommet 44 de la came 39, durant laquelle le ressort 49, libéré de l'action qu'exerçait la première partie de came 43, se détend, faisant tomber la bascule 47 qui, en coopérant avec la deuxième partie de came 45, déplace brusquement la came 39 dans le sens de rotation R de la roue 33, permettant au doigt d'entraînement 37 solidaire de la came 39 de déplacer le disque indicateur 29 d'un pas ; durant cette phase, dite « instantanée » car très rapide, la goupille 41 se déplace dans l'ouverture oblongue 42 vers l'autre extrémité 53 de cette dernière sans entraîner la roue 33 ; à la fin de cette deuxième phase, le galet 50 vient se loger dans le creux 46 de la came 39, ce qui bloque la came 39 en rotation ; c'est cette position qui est illustrée aux
figures 3 et 4 , avec la goupille 41 dessinée en trait plein ; - une troisième phase, typiquement d'environ 6 heures, durant laquelle la roue 33, tournant toujours dans son sens de rotation R, rattrape progressivement la position angulaire de la came 39 jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité 52 de l'ouverture 42 vienne en contact avec la goupille 41, ce contact constituant le début de la première phase du tour suivant de la roue 33.
- a first phase, typically about 18 hours, during which the
pin 41 is located at oneend 52 of theoblong opening 42, as shown by the dotted lines atfigures 3 and4 and is pushed by the wall of thisopening 42, which causes thecam 39 to rotate in a manner integral with thewheel 33 in the direction indicated by the arrow R and rolls theroller 50 on thefirst portion 43 of thecam 39 ; during this phase, thelatch 47 is lifted by thefirst portion 43 of thecam 39 which arms thespring 49; - a second phase, beginning as soon as the
roller 50 passes the top 44 of thecam 39, during which thespring 49, released from the action exerted by thefirst cam portion 43, relaxes, causing therocker 47 to fall, cooperating with thesecond cam portion 45, suddenly moves thecam 39 in the direction of rotation R of thewheel 33, allowing thedrive finger 37 integral with thecam 39 to move theindicator disc 29 by one step; during this phase, called "instantaneous" because very fast, thepin 41 moves in theoblong opening 42 to theother end 53 of the latter without driving thewheel 33; at the end of this second phase, theroller 50 is housed in therecess 46 of thecam 39, which blocks thecam 39 in rotation; it is this position that is illustrated infigures 3 and4 , with thepin 41 drawn in full line; - a third phase, typically about 6 hours, during which the
wheel 33, still rotating in its direction of rotation R, gradually catches the angular position of thecam 39 until theend 52 of theopening 42 comes in contact with thepin 41, this contact forming the beginning of the first phase of the next turn of thewheel 33.
Pendant la première phase, la bascule 47 exerce sur la came 39 et donc sur la roue 33 (en raison de la coopération entre la goupille 41 et l'extrémité 52 de l'ouverture 42) un couple de rappel, c'est-à-dire un couple tendant à faire tourner la roue 33 et la came 39 dans le sens opposé au sens R. Ce couple de rappel se propage jusqu'à l'engrenage entre la roue sur chaussée 5 et le pignon de petite moyenne 5a et rattrape ainsi tous les jeux d'engrenage du rouage d'affichage de l'heure 2, les jeux d'engrenage du rouage de finissage étant eux déjà rattrapés par la tension exercée par le barillet. Ainsi, en cas de choc, de mise à l'heure ou de correction de la position angulaire de l'aiguille de 12 heures, les aiguilles ne se décaleront pas ou peu les unes par rapport aux autres, tant que la bascule 47 restera en appui contre la première partie de came 43, et ceci quel que soit le sens de la mise à l'heure ou de la correction. En cas de mise à l'heure ou de correction dans le sens horaire, en effet, la roue de 12 heures 11 entraîne le mobile d'entraînement 27 dans le sens R par l'intermédiaire du mobile 26 et la bascule 47 appuyée contre la première partie de came 43 exerce un couple de rappel rattrapant les jeux, de la même manière que décrit ci-dessus. En cas de mise à l'heure ou de correction dans le sens anti-horaire, l'action de la bascule 47 sur la première partie de came 43 déplace la roue 33 dans le sens opposé au sens R et ce mouvement de la roue 33 est retenu et contrôlé par le mobile de minuterie 6, 7 (dans le cas d'une mise à l'heure) ou par le pignon de petite moyenne 5a (dans le cas d'une correction) tournant dans le sens opposé à son sens normal.During the first phase, the
Pendant la troisième phase d'un tour de rotation normal de la roue 33, la bascule 47 n'exerce plus de couple de rappel de sorte que si aucun dispositif de rattrapage de jeu n'est prévu, comme c'est le cas dans l'état de la technique, les jeux d'engrenage ne seront pas rattrapés. Or un engrenage différentiel tel que l'engrenage 10 illustré à la
Pour éviter ou diminuer ce problème, un ressort de rappel 54 est disposé autour du moyeu 34 et ses extrémités sont fixées respectivement à la roue 33 et au moyeu 34 duquel la came 39 est solidaire. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, le ressort 54 est un ressort à boudin et ses extrémités sont fixées à la roue 33 et au moyeu 34 par l'intermédiaire de crochets 55, 56 (cf.
Pendant la première phase d'un tour de rotation de la roue 33 décrite ci-dessus, le ressort 54 est tendu en torsion et tend à rapprocher la goupille 41 et l'extrémité 53 de l'ouverture 42 l'une de l'autre mais l'action de la bascule 47 sur la première partie 43 de la came 39 est plus forte que l'action du ressort 54 de sorte que la goupille 41 reste en appui contre l'extrémité 52 de l'ouverture 42, permettant à la roue 33 d'entraîner la came 39. Pendant la deuxième phase, le ressort 54 se détend et agit donc dans le même sens que la bascule 47, ce qui facilite le saut instantané de la came 39. Pendant la troisième phase, où la came 39 est maintenue fixe relativement à la platine 1 par la bascule 47, le ressort 54 se tend au fur et à mesure que la roue 33 avance et exerce donc sur cette dernière un couple de rappel qui supprime les jeux d'engrenage dans le rouage d'affichage de l'heure 2, à l'instar de l'action de la bascule 47 pendant la première phase. De préférence, le ressort 54 est précontraint pour qu'il commence à exercer ledit couple de rappel dès le début de la troisième phase, juste après le saut instantané.During the first phase of a turn of rotation of the
Le ressort 54 pourrait être d'un autre type qu'un ressort à boudin. Il pourrait par exemple consister en un ressort de forme dont le talon serait fixé, par exemple rivé, à la roue 33 et l'extrémité de sa lame serait fixée, par exemple accrochée, à la goupille 41, ou en un ressort en forme de spirale dont la partie intérieure serait fixée autour d'une saillie annulaire axiale de la roue 33 et la partie extérieure serait fixée à la goupille 41. Dans une autre variante, le ressort 54, par exemple un ressort à lame comme le ressort 49, pourrait être fixé à la roue 33 et pourrait agir sur une bascule elle-même pivotée sur la roue 33 et agissant sur une deuxième came solidaire de la came 39. La deuxième came aurait ainsi pour fonction de tendre le ressort fixé à la roue 33 pendant la troisième phase, à l'instar de l'action de la première partie 43 de la came 39 pendant la première phase.The
L'utilisation d'un ressort à boudin est néanmoins préférée dans la présente invention. En effet, il est important de réduire autant que possible la différence de couple de rappel entre le début et la fin de la troisième phase afin que le couple de rappel du ressort soit suffisamment fort sans que le couple nécessaire au réarmage du ressort soit trop élevé. Pour cela, la longueur active du ressort doit être la plus grande possible. Or un ressort à boudin présente une grande longueur active. De plus, un ressort à boudin est naturellement guidé par la pièce, ici le moyeu 34, autour de laquelle il est monté. Aucun élément supplémentaire n'est nécessaire pour son guidage.The use of a coil spring is nevertheless preferred in the present invention. Indeed, it is important to reduce as much as possible the return torque difference between the beginning and the end of the third phase so that the return torque of the spring is strong enough without the torque required to reset the spring is too high . For this, the active length of the spring must be as large as possible. Or a coil spring has a large active length. In addition, a coil spring is naturally guided by the part, here the
Dans des variantes de l'invention, le doigt d'entraînement 37 pourrait ne pas être solidaire de la came 39 mais être entraîné par la goupille 41, comme cela est connu en soi.In variants of the invention, the
Bien que particulièrement avantageuse dans le cadre d'un mouvement comprenant un engrenage différentiel, où les jeux d'engrenage peuvent être importants, la présente invention n'est pas limitée à une telle application, ni à une application où plusieurs aiguilles des heures sont prévues.Although particularly advantageous in the context of a movement comprising a differential gear, where the gear sets can be important, the present invention is not limited to such an application, nor to an application where several hour hands are provided. .
On notera également que l'ensemble formé par le mobile intermédiaire 26, la roue 33, la came 39, la goupille 41, l'organe d'actionnement 28 et le ressort 54 constitue un mécanisme de rattrapage de jeu qui pourrait être utilisé sans être associé à un doigt d'entraînement et à un indicateur, lesquels pourraient donc être supprimés ou entraînés par un autre mécanisme du mouvement. L'ensemble précité pourrait ainsi servir uniquement à tendre le rouage d'affichage de l'heure 2 ou un autre rouage pour supprimer les jeux d'engrenage.It will also be noted that the assembly formed by the
