Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a column or cam wheel chronograph mechanism comprising a chronograph wheel secured to a heart of seconds and a seconds indicator and a minute counter wheel integral with a heart. minutes and a minute blocker and a seconds blocker respectively cooperating with the minute counter wheel and the chronograph wheel.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a chronograph mechanism for which the adjustment is free of machining or retouching of parts such as blockers so that its adjustment is greatly facilitated, takes less time and can be performed by a manpower attentive certainly but not requiring the high specialization of a watchmaker adjuster, while ensuring a high precision of the mechanism.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a chronograph mechanism both accurate and in which the settings of the blockers are almost automatic.
  • the subject of the present invention is a chronograph mechanism comprising a chronograph wheel, a minute counter wheel, as well as a seconds blocker and a minute blocker cooperating respectively with the chronograph wheel and the minute counter wheel; characterized in that the seconds and minutes blockers are pivoted coaxially independently of each other and each individually subject to a second blocker spring respectively to a minute blocking spring tending to rotate them in the direction of the chronograph wheel respectively of the minute counter wheel; in that a connecting member connects the minute blocker to the second blocker while allowing them to move angularly relative to each other by a preset value, all arranged so that that, with the stop chronograph mechanism, said blockers are both in contact with the chronograph wheel and the minute counter wheel, respectively.
  • the present invention also relates to a timepiece provided with such a chronograph mechanism.
  • the figure 1 is a plan view of the chronograph mechanism according to the invention illustrating the main innovative parts of this mechanism and their operation with in particular the column wheel, the chronograph wheel and the minute counter wheel, the chronograph being stopped .
  • the figure 2 is a view similar to the figure 1 , the chronograph is running.
  • the figure 3 is a sectional detail of the pivoting of the blockers.
  • the figure 4 illustrates in section a detail of the blockers passing through the axis of the connecting member 23, the chronograph mechanism being running.
  • the figure 5 illustrates in section a detail of the blockers passing through the axis of the connecting member 23, the chronograph mechanism being stopped.
  • the figure 6 is an exploded view of the parts of the chronograph mechanism shown in figures 1 and 2 .
  • the chronograph mechanism, object of the present invention comprises, in the illustrated example, a column wheel 1, a chronograph wheel 2 integral with a second heart 2a, a minute counter wheel 4 integral with a heart minutes 4a, a clutch rocker 3 carrying a clutch wheel 5a and a clutch rocker spring 5b.
  • a column wheel 1 a chronograph wheel 2 integral with a second heart 2a
  • a minute counter wheel 4 integral with a heart minutes 4a
  • a clutch rocker 3 carrying a clutch wheel 5a and a clutch rocker spring 5b.
  • the present chronograph mechanism comprises a minute blocker 6 whose first end is pivoted freely on a bearing 8 itself pivoted on a pivot axis 7 driven in a bridge of a movement.
  • the range 8 could be driven on the axis 7 which would then be rotated between two bridges or between a bridge and the plate of the movement.
  • This minute blocker 6 has a lateral arm 9 carrying near its first end a pin 10 against which abuts the end 11 of a return spring of the minute blocker 12. This spring of the minute blocker 12 tends to move the free end 13 of the minute blocker 6 towards the minute counter wheel 4 against which this free end 13 is based.
  • this minute blocker 6 also has near the axis 7 a hole 14, threaded or not.
  • the present chronograph mechanism further comprises a second blocker 15 comprising at one of its ends a bore 16 through which this blocker seconds 15 is driven on the bearing 8 of the axis 7 above the minute blocker 6.
  • the other free end 17 of the second blocker 15 is intended to cooperate with the chronograph wheel 2.
  • This blocker seconds 15 has a bore 18 whose center is separated from the center of the bore 16 by a value equal to the distance separating the center of the axis 7 from the center of the hole 14 of the minute blocker 6.
  • This bore 18 is of larger diameter than said hole 14 and may be of oblong shape.
  • This second blocker 15 comprises a lateral arm 19 provided with a pin 20 serving as a stop on the end 21 of the return spring of the second blocker 22.
  • This return spring of the second blocker 22 tends to apply the free end 17 of the second blocker 15 against the chronograph wheel 2.
  • a connecting member 23 comprises a slotted head 24, a bearing 25 and an end 26 screwed or driven into the hole 14 of the minute blocker 6, the bearing 25 of this connecting member 23 being in the assembled position in the bore 18 of the blocker of seconds 15 ( Figures 4 and 5 ).
  • the second blocker 6 further comprises a second pin 27 cooperating with an arm 3a of the clutch rocker which traditionally has a beaker B cooperating with the columns C of the column wheel 1.
  • the connecting member 23 keeps the second blocker 15 at a determined distance from the minute blocker 6, while leaving an angular fringe of defined amplitude between these two blockers.
  • This connecting member 23 may be a screw, a rivet etc.
  • the minute blocker 6 could be chased on the range 8 and it is then the second blocker that would be pivoted freely on the scope 8 of the pivot axis 7.
  • the two blockers seconds and minutes could be freely rotated 8.
  • a washer is driven on the pivot axis 7 and serves as an axial stop to the two blockers 6, 15.
  • the second blocker 15 could be directly controlled by the column wheel 1 and have a spout B cooperating with the columns C of the column wheel 1.
  • this new construction of the chronograph mechanism can also be used in a chronograph mechanism without a column wheel, for example a cam chronograph mechanism.
