  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking.
  • a male centering means such as a centering pin
  • a female centering means such as a centering bore, or vice versa

  • the plate generally comprises a female alignment means, preferably a linear guide, which cooperates with an alignment means, generally male constituted by a pin, and that comprises, the bridge, or vice versa.
  • a radial clearance compared to pivot, and in the direction of the linear guide, is necessary to compensate for the relative deformations of the bridge relative to the plate, and especially the relocation between the bridge and the plate.
  • the means of centering the side of the bridge is generally constituted by a milled pivot, a pin or a screw-screw, of cylindrical shape, cooperating with a bore of the plate.
  • the means for aligning the bridge side is also constituted by a milled pivot, a pin or a foot-screw, of cylindrical shape, cooperating with an elongate slot or slot of the plate.
  • Triangular pin assemblies cooperating with a smooth bore are still known, as described in the patent document. DE 2,034,993 on behalf of Précision Industries.
  • the document CH 669 680 A2 in the name of Richemont Int. SA describes a device for fixing a mobile made of a brittle material on a support element, in particular for positioning between a bridge and a plate.
  • This mobile comprises an opening for receiving the support member, and it comprises an elastically deformable intermediate piece fixed in the opening and having a central hole.
  • the intermediate piece redistributes a portion of the stresses exerted by the support member when the latter is driven into the central hole.

  • the problem posed is particularly sensitive in the field of watchmaking, where any positioning defect during assembly is translated, if not by the damage of the components, at least by an altered operation, and the obligation of dismantling and then 'a reassembly, either factory, which is already very expensive, or after-sales, which adds to the costs of labor those related to a deterioration of brand image.
  • the small size of the components does not allow to move the centering and alignment pins beyond a few millimeters, and any angular fault and / or positioning immediately affects the entire movement.
  • the alignment adjustment member is subject to a correct sliding fit, or with a very low tightening.
  • the actual fastening of the components to one another is conventionally carried out by screws, if possible remote from the centering and alignment means, which is not always possible in watchmaking where, on the contrary, it may be advantageous to use the 'access available at the level of the centering and alignment pins, to provide the fixing means.
  • a particular constraint is the need for the assemblies to be dismountable. Another constraint is the possibility of adjusting the height of a bridge relative to a plate, and not only in positioning in the plane. The assemblies used must therefore lend themselves to such fine adjustments and dismantling.

  • the essential is to ensure a regular distribution of the contact points between the female implantation 4 and the centering pin 6, so as to compensate for the resulting forces and to ensure a zero resultant to the theoretical positioning axis of the pion of centering.
  • the distribution of the points of contact between the female implantation 4 and the pin 6 is regular with respect to the circumference of the latter, so as to balance, with respect to the axis of revolution of the latter, the reaction forces to which it is subjected from this female implantation 4.

  • the centering pin 6 has a stepped profile and comprises, in addition to a cylindrical centering surface 7 of diameter D7, at minus an introduction section 28 of diameter D8 less than or equal to the diameter D1 of the circle inscribed in the polygonal section.
  • the pawn 6 can be evolutionary as visible on the figure 4 , or have several distinct ranges, as visible on the figure 5 .
  • the female implantation 4 is, as visible on the figure 3 , inscribed in a circumscribed circle C2, and the maximum value of the arrow F between a facet 5, supported on the polygon defining the polygonal section, and the circle C2 circumscribed in the female implantation 4 is such that: D 1 / 2 ⁇ D 1 / 2 + F ⁇ D 1 / 2 / sin 30 ° .
