Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shock-absorbing bearing for a rotating mobile of a clockwork movement.
  • Such bearings are designed to partially absorb the energy transmitted to the mobile during an impact, in particular a side impact suffered by the watch movement.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 Various shock-absorbing bearings of the watchmaking type are known to those skilled in the art.
  • the bearing 2 named “double inverted cones", is described for example in the patent FR 1 532 798 .
  • This bearing is provided at the end of the axis 6 of a rotating wheel 4. More particularly, the pivot 8 of the shaft 6 is mounted in the hole of a pierced stone 10 forming the bearing 2.
  • the latter is formed of a support 12 having a central opening in its bottom for the passage of the axis 6 of the rotating wheel.
  • the support 12 has a recess inside which a kitten 14 is arranged.
  • This kitten supports the pierced stone 10 and a counter-pivot stone 16 situated above this pierced stone.
  • the kitten with the two stones are held inside the recess of the support 12 by a spring device 18 comprising, in the variant shown in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 , two elastic tongues rest against the upper surface of the counter-pivot stone.
  • a spring device 18 comprising, in the variant shown in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 , two elastic tongues rest against the upper surface of the counter-pivot stone.
  • Such a standard type bearing is considered aesthetic in particular because of the presence of a relatively large counter-pivot upper stone.
  • the counter-pivot stone contributes to the aesthetic aspect of the watch movement and can be considered as a decorative element of this watch movement.
  • the skilled person appreciates a bearing of the conventional type as shown in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 .
  • FIG. 3 and 4 is shown another shock absorbing bearing described in the document EP 1 696 286 .
  • This bearing differs essentially from the conventional type described above by the fact that the pierced stone 10 and the counter-pivoting stone 16A are assembled to a rigid central portion 28 of a planar elastic device 22, that is to say, extending in a general plane. The two stones are thus suspended in the center of the elastic device whose elastic structure or the spring 26 is likely to undergo an axial and radial elastic deformation, that is to say in a horizontal general plane and also in the longitudinal direction of the axis 6 of the rotating mobile.
  • This second embodiment has certain advantages over the conventional damping bearing described above, these advantages being explained in the patent application. EP 1 696 286 .
  • the elastic device 22 is formed by a peripheral ring 28 resting on an annular projection provided at the bottom of the recess of the base 12A.
  • the elastic structure 26 is formed of several arms defining as many spring elements, which extend in an arc between the peripheral ring 24 and the central portion 28 of the elastic device 22.
  • This central portion has a central opening in which is arranged the pierced stone 10.
  • the counter-pivoting stone 16A placed on the upper surface of this central portion is held in place by a cap 30 having attachment lugs 32 which extend along the lateral surface of the central portion.
  • the hood can be driven out or glued to this central part.
  • the elastic structure 26 has a relatively complex geometry with its plurality of spring arms connecting the peripheral ring 24 to the rigid central portion 28.
  • the elastic device 22 is preferably made by a LIGA technique known to man of career.
  • the shock absorbing bearing 20 has a non-conventional visual appearance. Indeed, the top view reveals all the flat elastic structure 26 and the counter pivot stone 16A is visible only through the small central opening of the cover 30. Thus, the visible surface of this upper stone 16A has a substantially equal to that of the pierced stone 10, which is small. Comparing the devices 2 and 20 respectively represented in figures 1 and 3 , the observer can see the significant difference in the visual appearance of the two devices.
  • the counter-pivoting stone of a shock-absorbing bearing in a mechanical clockwork movement has an ornamental character and serves to give value to this mechanical movement.
  • the bearing 42 solves the problem of the reduced diameter of the counter pivot stone in the bearing 20 according to the second embodiment of the prior art described above.
  • the bearing 42 comprises an elastic device 22A of small thickness and extending in a general horizontal plane. Although of substantially different shape from the elastic structure 26 of Figures 3 and 4 the elastic structure of the device 22A also allows elastic deformation in a horizontal plane and thus a horizontal displacement of the pierced stone 10. Such elastic structure would also allow axial deformation. Yet, the realization according to the figure 5 does not take advantage of this characteristic of the elastic device 22A, unlike the bearing 20 described above.
  • the counter-pivot stone 16 is not integral in movement of the pierced stone and therefore of the central portion of the elastic device.
  • This stone 16 of relatively large diameter, is placed on a ring or spacer 46 located on the peripheral portion of the device 22A.
  • a second elastic device 48 is provided to maintain the stone 16 in place and also allow axial movement thereof.
  • This device 48 is formed of elastic tongues 50 bearing against the convex upper surface of the stone 16. As the elastic tabs 50 are spaced apart, the bearing 42 reveals in a top view the stone 16 through a wide opening of so that the visual appearance of the bearing 42 is similar to that of the conventional bearing 2 shown in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the bearing 42 comprises two separate elastic devices 22A and 48.
  • the first elastic device is associated with the pierced stone 10 while the second elastic device is associated with the stone. 16.
  • the bearing 42 is therefore relatively complex and expensive. Other examples of similar achievements are disclosed by the documents CH 698 675 and CH 237 812 .
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular to provide a shock absorbing bearing which is effective, inexpensive and having a conventional appearance with a counter-pivot stone having a large diameter relative to that of the pierced stone.
  • the present invention proposes to achieve this goal while preserving the functional advantages given by a bearing of the type described in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the subject of the present invention is a watch movement provided with at least one shock-absorbing bearing for a rotating mobile, this shock-absorbing bearing comprising an elastic device having a rigid central part and an elastic structure connected to this central part extending at the periphery thereof, the central part having an opening in which is arranged a pierced stone and being physically connected to the clockwork movement via the elastic structure; so that this pierced stone is mounted suspended by the elastic structure.
  • the damping bearing also comprises a counter-pivot piece forming an upper stop for the pivot of the axis of the rotating mobile and assembled to the central part of the elastic device so as to be integral in motion with this central part, the elastic structure being arranged to allow a radial / horizontal movement of the central part supporting the pierced stone and also an axial movement of this central part, that is to say a movement along the geometric axis defined by the material axis of the rotating mobile mounted in the shock absorbing bearing.
  • the watch movement is characterized in that the counter-pivot stone is at least partially above the elastic structure and is attached to the central portion of the elastic device by a material connection between this central portion and the underside of the stone counter-pivot.
  • the bearing according to the invention comprises an upper counter-pivot stone of relatively large diameter and solves the disadvantages of the device of the prior art shown in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the fixing of the counter-pivot stone to the central portion of the elastic device supporting the stone pierced by a material link formed between the central portion and the underside of the counter-pivot stone does not cause a reduction in the diameter of this last. This is a major advantage of the present invention and allows relatively simple and inexpensive embodiments.
  • the lower surface of the counter-pivot stone and the upper face of the elastic structure have between them a slot so as to allow this elastic structure to undergo a certain axial displacement downwards during the damping of an axial shock.
  • the counter-pivot stone is fixed to the central portion of the elastic device extending in a horizontal general plane, the counter-pivot stone at least partially masks the elastic structure while allowing the latter to deform in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating mobile and also in an axial direction.
  • the lower face of the counter-pivot stone comprises a first vertical surface and the central portion of the elastic device comprises a second vertical surface arranged facing the first vertical surface.
  • the vertical surface of the central portion forms a lateral abutment for the vertical surface of the counter-pivot stone so that a lateral or radial impact does not cause a break in the material connection, particularly welding or gluing. between the counter-pivot stone and the central part of the elastic device.
  • the first and second vertical surfaces are cylindrical; this allows easy machining especially for the counter-pivot stone.
  • the first and second vertical surfaces have between them a slot filled with an adhesive or a solder.

  • the counter-pivot stone is assembled to the central portion 58 so as to be integral in motion of this central portion.
  • the central part 58 thus serves as a support for the pierced stone 10 and also for this counter-pivot stone, this assembly being suspended in the bearing 52 by the elastic structure 26.
  • the counter-pivoting stone 16 extends at least partially above the elastic structure 26 and is fixed to the central portion 58 by a material connection between this central portion and the lower face 17 of this stone against pivot.

  • the counter-pivoting stone 16 has a large diameter relative to that of the pierced stone 10. Thanks to the features of the invention, the diameter of the counter-pivot stone may be only slightly smaller than the diameter of the recess provided in the base 54.
