Definitions
- the present invention relates to an annual calendar device comprising a date ring bearing thirty-one numbers appearing successively through a window, said ring carrying thirty-one inner teeth located on a first level, a driving wheel of the a date ring making a turn in twenty-four hours, and a mechanism (10) carried by said wheel (5) and rotating with it, said mechanism (10) having a first finger driving one step, at the end of each day, a tooth of the date ring.
- An annual calendar device is understood to mean a system that advances the date ring by an additional step at the end of the month with less than thirty-one days, a manual correction still to be made at the end of February. correction being done automatically in timepieces equipped with a so-called perpetual calendar device.
- Annual calendar devices are described in the watchmaking literature and the document will be cited here as an example. EP-1 666 991 which will be summarized below the operation.
- the annual calendar mechanism described in the document cited comprises a driving wheel of the date ring equipped with a first finger causing once a day a date ring and a second finger causing, at the end of months less of thirty-one days a board with five lugs integral with an annual wheel arranged coaxially with the date ring.
- a reference connects at the end of each month the annual wheel to the date ring.
- the annual wheel has twice as many teeth as the year counts for months and the return includes a first wheel engaged with the annual wheel and a second wheel fixed on the first, this second wheel being engaged, at the end of each month, with a lug disposed inside the date ring.
- the present invention in addition to fulfilling the generic definition expressed in the first paragraph of this description, is remarkable in that the mechanism carried by the date driving wheel has a second finger driving the date ring of a step at the end of the last day of a month comprising less than thirty-one days, this second finger being actuated, for the purpose of said drive, by a toothing located on a second level of the date ring, said second finger being connected to said toothing by a suitable kinematic chain.
- the present invention has another advantage, that of requiring only two jumpers instead of three as is common in known embodiments of the state of the art.
- the figure 1 is a general plan view of the date device explaining the situation of the mechanism chosen at time t5, that is to say the first of May at 1 hour 15 minutes and the figure 2 an enlarged section of the same device operated according to line II-II of the figure 1 .
- the annual calendar device comprises a date ring 1 carrying thirty-one numbers 2 which appear successively through a window 3.
- the ring 1 carries thirty-one inner teeth 4 located as shown in FIG. figure 2 on a first level 20.
- the device further comprises a driving wheel 5 of the date ring 1.
- This wheel 5 makes a turn in twenty-four hours driven that it is, as seen on the figure 2 , by a wheel 50 driven on the barrel 51 of the hour wheel 52.
- the driving wheel 5 carries a mechanism designated by reference 10. This mechanism rotates with the driving wheel 5 and will be described in detail below. It has a first finger 6 which leads one step, at the end of each day, a tooth 4 of the date ring 1. As is well known in the state of the art.
- the date device of the present invention is distinguished by a remarkable and original arrangement in that the mechanism 10 carried by the driving wheel 5 and rotating with it presents a second finger 7 as shown by the Figures 1 and 2 .
- This second finger 7 driven directly by the wheel 5 in turn causes the date ring 1 an additional step at the end of the last day of a month with less than thirty-one days.
- the second finger 7 is actuated by a toothing 8 located on a second level 21 of the date ring as shown in FIG. figure 2 this actuation pushing the finger 7 in the path of the teeth 4 of the date ring 1.
- the figures show that the second finger 7 is connected to the toothing 8 by a suitable kinematic chain 9.
- the date ring is driven, also at the end of the months counting less than thirty-one days, by a second finger 7 directly linked to the driving wheel 5.
- the appropriate kinematic chain 9 mentioned above and which controls the displacement of the second finger 7 to introduce it into the path of the teeth 4 of the date ring 1 and thus cause the ring of a step on the last day of one month less than thirty-one days comprises the mechanism 10 which includes the first and second fingers 6 and 7, this mechanism 10 and the fingers 6 and 7 which are attached to it rotating with the driving wheel 5 as we have seen above.
- the chain also includes a cam of months 11 which has five projections 30 and 34 each corresponding to the months of less than thirty-one days, namely the months of April, June, September, November and February.
- the projections 30 to 34 operate in turn the second finger 7 via the mechanism 10.
- the chain 9 finally comprises a star of the months 12 making a turn in a year and coaxially secured to the cam of the months 11 and a return of transmission 13 meshing with said star 12, this reference 13 being in engagement at the end of each day with the toothing 8 being at the second level 21 of the date ring 1.
- the kinematic chain 9, controlled by the toothing 8 of the ring has the sole function of introducing the finger 7 opposite a tooth 4 of the ring 1 and not to drive this ring, this drive being done by the finger 7 mu by the driving wheel of date 1.
- This mechanism 10 carried by the driving wheel of date 5 and rotating with it with particular reference to the plan view of the figure 3 and at the cut of the figure 4 , this section being taken along line IV-IV of the figure 3 .
- This mechanism 10 has been chosen among other possible and in no way limits the scope of the present invention, the essential being the fact that it is associated with the driving wheel 5, rotates with it and includes the first and second fingers 6 and 7 acting first at the end of each day and the second at the end of the last day of the month counting less than thirty-one days.
- the Figures 3 and 4 show that the mechanism 10 carried by the date drive wheel 5 comprises a first plate 17 fixed on the shaft 18 that carries the driving wheel 5.
- the first plate 17 has in its periphery a tongue 19 from which emerge the first and second fingers 6 and 7, the second finger 7 being disposed at the end of the tongue 19.
- On the first plate 17 is disposed a second plate 22, the latter being movable diametrically with respect to the driving wheel. It is held axially in place by appropriate means not shown in FIG. figure 4 .
- This second plate 22 has a first lug 23 passing through the first plate 17 in the vicinity of the back 24 which the second finger 7 has, then a first oblong opening 25 formed in the driving wheel 5.
- Said second plate 22 has a second lug 26 therethrough the first plate 17 in the vicinity of the back 27 of the tongue 19, then a second oblong opening 28 made in the driving wheel 5.
- This second plate 22 finally has a heel 29 diametrically opposite the first lug 23 and the second finger 7.
- the heel 29 is arranged to be in the path of the projections 30 to 34 of the cam of the months 11 as shown by the figures 1 and the Figures 5 to 12 .
- the figure 5a shows the annual calendar device at time t0, ie April 30 at 22:00 and the figure 5b shows at a larger scale at the same time t0 a detail of this device, in particular the mechanism 10 carried by the driving wheel 5 and the cam of the month 11 topped with the star of the months 12.
- the driving wheel 5 rotates in the direction of the arrow E with the mechanism 10 which is related thereto.
- the finger 6 of the mechanism 10 comes into contact with the tooth 4 of the date ring 1.
- the ring 1 is still at rest and a first jumper 40 locating it is located between two teeth 4a and 4b lying on the first level 20 of the ring 1.
- the toothing 8 here has two teeth 8a and 8b located on the second level 21 of the ring 1, none of these teeth being in contact with the transmission gear 13 which is at rest like the star of months 12 which is linked to it.
- a second jumper 42 is between two teeth 43 and 44 of said star 12 to position it.
- the Figures 6a and 6b show the situation of the device at time t1, that is to say April 30 at 22 hours 45.
- the finger 6 of the mechanism 10 drives the ring 1 in the direction of the arrow F.
- the tooth of the toothing 8a of the ring 1 comes into contact with a tooth 41 of the reference 13 and the jumper 40 climbs the tooth 4b of the ring 1.
- the number 30 begins to disappear from the box 3.
- the figures 7a and 7b show the situation of the device at time t2, that is April 30 at 23 hours 20.
- the finger 6 is always driven in the direction of the arrow F as the ring 1
- the tooth 8a drives the return 13 in the direction of the arrow K which in turn drives the star 12 and the cam 11 which is linked to it in the direction of the arrow H.
- the disk of the month 14 which does not appear in these figures also turns in the direction of the arrow H and the first APR APR starts to disappear from wicket 16.
- the number 31 begins to appear in wicket 3.
- the jumper 42 climbs tooth 43 of star 12.
- the figures 8a and 8b show the situation of the device at time t3, ie the first of May at 00h00.
- tooth 8a of ring 1 always drives the reference 13 in the direction of arrow K and the star 12 in the direction of the arrow H until the jumper 42 pushes the tooth 43 in the same direction and is positioned between the teeth 43 and 44 of said star.
- the projection 30 of the cam 11 has come into contact with the bottom of the heel 29 of the mechanism 10.
- the figure 30 has completely disappeared from the window 3 which reveals the number 31 in the window 3 and the second mention APR appears entirely in the window 16.
- the finger 6 has completely cleared the tooth 4 of the ring 1 and the jumper 40 has fallen between the teeth 4b and 4d of the ring 1 to index well.
- FIGs 9a and 9b show the situation of the device at time t4, the first of May at 0 hours 30.
- the heel 29 of the mechanism 10 has escalated the projection 30 of the cam 11 which has the effect of pushing the finger 7 of the same mechanism in the trajectory of the teeth 4 of the ring 1 as explained above when this mechanism has been described in support of Figures 3 and 4 .
- the finger 7, like the show it figure 9b then comes to bear against the tooth 4c of the ring 1. At this level neither the ring 1 nor the disc 16 have moved.
- the figures 10a and 10b show the situation of the device at time t5, ie the first of May at 1 hour 15.

- the tooth 8b of the toothing 8 of the ring 1 comes s press against the tooth 45 of the reference 13 without further training.
- the number 31 begins to disappear from the window 3.
- the jumper 40 begins to climb the tooth 4d of the ring 1.
- FIGS. 11a and 11b show the situation of the device at time t6, ie the first of May at 2:00 am.
- the ring 1 By turning in the direction of the arrow F, the ring 1 by its tooth 8b of the toothing 8 causes the return 13 in the direction of the arrow K which in turn causes the star 12 and the disk 14 months in the direction of the arrow H, the word APR tends to disappear to make room for the word MAl in the window 16.
- the ring 1 removes the number 31 and introduces the number 1 in the window 3 by the action of the finger 7 on the tooth 4c of the ring 1, the projection 30 of the cam 11 pressing still on the heel 29 of the mechanism 10.
- the figures 12a and 12b show the end of the transition from one month less than thirty-one days to the following month and that to the time t7, ie the first of May at 2:30 am. Tooth 8b of toothing 8 has finished driving tooth 45 of 13 in the direction of the arrow K. In doing so, said referral has rotated the star 12 in the direction of the arrow H as well as the 14 months disk which is linked to it. The jumper 42 then enters between the teeth 44 and 46 of the star 12 and definitely positions the word MAl in the window 16. By turning in the direction of the arrow H, the cam 11 has cleared the projection 30 of the heel 29 and the finger 7 is then rejected outside the trajectory of the teeth 4 of the ring 1. Similarly turning in the direction of the arrow F the jumper 40 completes pushing the ring 1 which is positioned between the teeth 4d and 4e and which then has the number 1 in the window 3.
- the presentation which has just been given shows that said device is sufficient for two jumpers, one 40 acting on the teeth 4 of the date ring 1 and the other 42 acting on the star of the months 12.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de quantième annuel comprenant un anneau de quantième portant trente et un chiffres apparaissant successivement au travers d'un guichet, ledit anneau portant trente et une dents intérieures situées sur un premier niveau, une roue entraîneuse de l'anneau de quantième faisant un tour en vingt-quatre heures, et un mécanisme (10) porté par ladite roue (5) et tournant avec elle, ledit mécanisme (10) présentant un premier doigt entraînant d'un pas, à la fin de chaque jour, une dent de l'anneau de quantième.The present invention relates to an annual calendar device comprising a date ring bearing thirty-one numbers appearing successively through a window, said ring carrying thirty-one inner teeth located on a first level, a driving wheel of the a date ring making a turn in twenty-four hours, and a mechanism (10) carried by said wheel (5) and rotating with it, said mechanism (10) having a first finger driving one step, at the end of each day, a tooth of the date ring.
Par dispositif de quantième annuel, on entend un système qui avance d'un pas supplémentaire l'anneau de quantième à la fin des mois comportant moins de trente et un jours, une correction manuelle restant à faire à la fin du mois de février, cette correction se faisant automatiquement dans les pièces d'horlogerie équipées d'un dispositif de quantième dit perpétuel. Des dispositifs de quantième annuel sont décrits dans la littérature horlogère et l'on citera ici en exemple le document
Le mécanisme de quantième annuel décrit dans le document cité comprend une roue entraîneuse de l'anneau de quantième équipée d'un premier doigt entraînant une fois par jour un anneau de quantième et d'un second doigt entraînant, à la fin des mois de moins de trente et un jours une planche à cinq ergots solidaire d'une roue annuelle disposée coaxialement à l'anneau de quantième. Un renvoi relie à la fin de chaque mois la roue annuelle à l'anneau de quantième. La roue annuelle comporte deux fois plus de dents que l'année compte de mois et le renvoi comprend une première roue en prise avec la roue annuelle et une deuxième roue fixée sur la première, cette deuxième roue étant en prise, à la fin de chaque mois, avec un ergot disposé à l'intérieur de l'anneau de quantième.The annual calendar mechanism described in the document cited comprises a driving wheel of the date ring equipped with a first finger causing once a day a date ring and a second finger causing, at the end of months less of thirty-one days a board with five lugs integral with an annual wheel arranged coaxially with the date ring. A reference connects at the end of each month the annual wheel to the date ring. The annual wheel has twice as many teeth as the year counts for months and the return includes a first wheel engaged with the annual wheel and a second wheel fixed on the first, this second wheel being engaged, at the end of each month, with a lug disposed inside the date ring.
De ce qui vient d'être dit, on comprendra que si le premier doigt intégré à la roue entraîneuse entraîne directement et chaque jour l'anneau de quantième, le second doigt lui, également intégré à la roue entraîneuse, n'entraîne l'anneau de quantième qu'indirectement par l'intermédiaire d'une chaine cinématique comprenant une planche à cinq ergots, une roue annuelle et un renvoi composé de deux roues superposées, ce renvoi entraînant finalement l'anneau de quantième d'un pas supplémentaire à la fin des mois de moins de trente et un jours. On comprendra que cette chaîne cinématique consomme de l'énergie et qu'une économie appréciable pourrait être réalisée si le second doigt, également monté sur la roue entraîneuse, pouvait entraîner directement et sans intermédiaire l'anneau de quantième à la fin du mois comptant moins de trente et un jour. C'est le but de la présente invention de réaliser cette économie.From what has just been said, it will be understood that if the first finger integrated in the driving wheel drives directly and every day the date ring, the second finger him, also integrated in the driving wheel, does not drive the ring of calendar that indirectly via a kinematic chain comprising a board with five lugs, an annual wheel and a return consisting of two superimposed wheels, this referral finally causing the date ring a step further at the end months of less than thirty-one days. It will be understood that this driveline system consumes energy and that appreciable economy could be achieved if the second finger, also mounted on the driving wheel, could directly and without intermediary drive the date ring at the end of the month counting less thirty-one days. It is the object of the present invention to achieve this economy.
Ainsi la présente invention, outre qu'elle obéit à la définition générique exprimée au premier paragraphe de cette description, est remarquable en ce que le mécanisme porté par la roue entraîneuse de quantième présente un second doigt entraînant l'anneau de quantième d'un pas supplémentaire à la fin du dernier jour d'un mois comprenant moins de trente et un jours, ce second doigt étant actionné, en vue dudit entraînement, par une denture située sur un second niveau de l'anneau de quantième, ledit second doigt étant relié à ladite denture par une chaîne cinématique appropriée.Thus the present invention, in addition to fulfilling the generic definition expressed in the first paragraph of this description, is remarkable in that the mechanism carried by the date driving wheel has a second finger driving the date ring of a step at the end of the last day of a month comprising less than thirty-one days, this second finger being actuated, for the purpose of said drive, by a toothing located on a second level of the date ring, said second finger being connected to said toothing by a suitable kinematic chain.
On mentionnera encore que la présente invention présente un autre avantage, celui de ne nécessiter que de deux sautoirs au lieu de trois comme cela est courant dans les exécutions connues de l'état de l'art.It will be mentioned further that the present invention has another advantage, that of requiring only two jumpers instead of three as is common in known embodiments of the state of the art.
