  • the rollers may have, at their ends, teeth in engagement with openings along the edges of the ribbon, like those of a photographic film.
  • the teeth of the rollers must be mounted frictionally thereon. This device can be complex and expensive to perform.
  • the ribbon is made of a thin flexible sheet, producing a display with the appearance conventionally encountered in the band watches, and known for example patent CH 338 150 . Due to the flexibility of the ribbon, the information displayed on the ribbon undergoes deformation, in particular during the passage of the ribbon around the rollers. The materials used for printing the ribbon do not resist the deformation of the support, the display tends to deteriorate over time.
  • a timepiece comprising an endless ribbon bearing hourly indications and scrolling around two parallel rollers.
  • the ribbon used may be a continuous elastic band, a metal spring bearing separate numbered plates or a spring whose turns are sufficiently close together for can enter numbers.
  • the spring or the elastic band have the disadvantage of easily deforming.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to overcome these disadvantages, by proposing a timepiece with a ribbon display, in which the ribbon constitutes a sufficiently rigid support so that the display inscribed on the ribbon does not deform, in especially when passing the ribbon around the rollers.
  • the display can then be made from the range of materials usually used for the realization of the dials for example.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a timepiece with a ribbon display for an original display of time information.
  • the slats, driven by the driving roller scroll when the drive roller is itself rotated by its drive mechanism.
  • Each lamella forms a support for the time indications rigid enough to receive any type of materials usually used for the dials, these materials then not undergo deformation during the passage of the tape around the rollers.
  • the plate of each lamella may comprise two transverse lateral faces, each lateral face of a lamella being arranged to be able to be assembled to the lateral face of an adjacent lamella by means of a pivot, said pivot being arranged for cooperate with said drive means in running said slats.
  • each side face may comprise at one end a first orifice and be extended at its other end by a fixing lug comprising a second orifice, said first and second orifices being arranged so as to receive a pivot so as to allow the assembly of a lamella to an adjacent lamella by introducing said pivot into the first orifice of the side faces of a lamella and the second orifice of the fastening tabs of the adjacent lamella.
  • the pivot may comprise a rod projecting from the lateral face of the lamellae
  • the means for driving the lamellae provided on the driving roller may comprise at least one drive wheel integral with the driving roller and having a toothing. meshing with the rods of the pivots of the lamellae running around the driving roller.
  • the mechanism for rotating at least one of the rollers comprises a barrel optionally coupled to an escapement and a regulating member.
  • the roller can be traversed by a shaft secured by one end to the barrel and ending at its other end by a ratchet in kinematic connection with a central winding pinion actuated by a control rod.
  • the control rod can be arranged to be in kinematic connection with the drive means in scrolling of the slats.
  • the hourly indications carried by the ribbon correspond to hours.
  • the ribbon may be formed of 12 or 24 lamellae, the lamella drive means and the rotational driving mechanism of at least the driving roller being configured so that the ribbon performs, counter-clockwise, one or more complete rotations in 12 or 24 hours.
  • the timepiece may also include means for displaying minutes.
  • timepiece 1 comprising an endless ribbon 2 running around two parallel identical rollers 3 and 4 driven simultaneously in rotation by a mechanism which will be described later in detail.
  • the ribbon 2 is formed by strips 6 articulated with respect to each other, and extending parallel to the rollers 3 and 4.
  • each lamella 6 is formed of a plane plate 7 of rectangular section, comprising two lateral faces 8, extending transversely and substantially perpendicularly to said plate 7, towards the interior of the piece 1.
  • figure 6 only one side face 8 is shown, the other side being symmetrically formed.
  • Each side face 8 comprises at one end 8a a first orifice and is extended at its other end 8b by a fixing lug 9 comprising a second orifice.
  • Said first and second orifices are arranged to receive a pivot 10 so as to allow the assembly of a lamella 6 to an adjacent lamella 6a or 6b by introducing said pivot 10 into the first orifice of the lateral faces 8 of a lamella 6 or 6a and the second hole of the fastening tabs 9 of the adjacent plate 6b or 6 respectively.
  • the slats are assembled together to form the endless ribbon 2 and are hinged together by means of the pivots 10, a stone 12 being associated with each pivot 10.
  • the slats are for example made of a metallic material or any other suitable material.
  • a coverslip may have a length of about 21 mm for a width of about 3 mm.
  • the slats 6 bear indications corresponding to the hours.
  • the ribbon 2 comprises 24 lamellae, each lamella 6 bearing the indication of one hour, and the rollers 3 and 4 cause the ribbon 2 to move in the counter-clockwise direction, at the rate of a complete rotation by day.
  • the ribbon may comprise 12 or 36 lamellae and the rollers cause the ribbon to move at the rate of one or more complete rotations per day.
  • the ribbon may also comprise 24 lamellae, the indication of one hour being carried by a pair of lamellae. In this case, the ribbon performs two full rotations per day.
  • a fixed line 15 disposed above the ribbon 2 serves as a reference for the reading of the hours, the time being that indicated by the number written on the strip which lies under the line 15.
  • This line can for example be written on the ice-cream of the timepiece.
  • This line can also be replaced by a needle or other index attached under the ice, the movement itself or in any manner that is suitable for the skilled person.
  • the minutes are displayed by means of a disk 16 or any other suitable display known to those skilled in the art.
  • the disc 16 is disposed under the line 15 so that the line 15 also indicates the minutes, for example by the passage to the high point of the corresponding digit on the disk 16 under the line 15.
  • the driving mechanism of the disk 16 will be described later.
  • the rollers 3 and 4 comprise, for moving the ribbon 2, means for driving the lamellae 6.
  • said drive means in running the slats 6 comprise a drive wheel 17 secured integrally at each end of the rollers 3 and 4.
  • each pivot 10 comprises a rod 18 long enough to protrude the side face 8 of the slats 6 inwardly.
  • the drive wheels 17 comprise a toothing having a shape adapted to be able to mesh with the rods 18 of the pivots 10 of the lamellae 6 when they pass around the rollers 3 and 4. The dimensions of the parts are thus chosen so that the position of the wheels drive 17 coincides with the position of the pivots 10 so that the pivots 10 meshing with the toothing of the drive wheels 17 are driven and themselves drive the slats 6 when the drive wheels 17 rotate.
  • each roller 3, 4 is pivotally mounted on the movement frame, and is provided with a rotational drive mechanism which includes a barrel 20, 21 respectively.
  • a rotational drive mechanism which includes a barrel 20, 21 respectively.
