  • the pin 61 then passes to the other side of the second arm 67, and seeks its position. According to the distance of the pivot 73, caused by the displacement of the first insulator 3 according to the current month, the number of teeth to be hooked by the spout 51 is then variable, two, or three, or four.
  • the feeler 512 falls on the snub of the cam 4, from the largest to the smallest diameter, triggering a retrograde movement, a return rake 912, and the date then displays, at the pinion 412, the first of a new month, while the hook 8 drives the cam of twelve perpetual 9 for the display of the new month, and thus change the angular position the first isolator 3 as a function of the new reading made by its probe 53.
  • FIGS. 10 to 27 illustrate the operation of the up-and-down mechanism 300 at particular dates, making it possible to display the respective positions of the ratchet finger 1, the second insulator, and the cams 4 and 29.
  • the Figures 10, 11, 12 show the mechanism 300 in the rest position on November 30th.
  • the feeler 53 is on the 30-day month level of the cam 9.
  • the pivot 73 is then in position 73C of the figure 3 .
  • the probe 512 is close to the maximum radius of the cam 4.
  • November 30 is the last day of November, so the finger 29A of the cam 29 pushes the lever 5, its pin 6 which passes from the position 6C3 to the position 6C4 of the figure 3 , and therefore the first arm 77 of the second insulator 7, which is therefore pivoted according to the angle ⁇ Y of the figure 3 .
  • the figure 12 shows the finger 61 still in the vicinity of the bearing face 97, and near the notch 87.
  • the Figures 13, 14, 15 represent the mechanism 300 in activation, before the passage of the finger 61 in the notch 87 of the second insulator 7, the same date of November 30. We see the finger 61 engage in the notch 87.
  • the probe 512 falls from the largest to the smallest radius of the rod 4, the control lever 12 performs its retrograde movement, and the hook 8 that it carries pulls the ratchet 69 to display the new month in progress, both at the cam 9 for the control of the mechanism 300, as for the display of the month if the piece 1000 is equipped with such display means, that it is sufficient to couple to the pivoting axis of the wheel 69.
  • the toothed sector 912 brings the pinion 412 date display of the date to the first of the month.
  • the Figures 19, 20, 21 show the mechanism 300 in activation, during the passage of the finger 61 in the notch 87, dated December 31.
  • the probe 53 is supported on a sector of smaller radius of the cam 9, corresponding to a month of 31 days.
  • the cam 9 will rotate to the neighboring sector, which also corresponds to a month of 31 days, which is the month of January.
  • the Figures 22, 23, 24 show the mechanism in activation, at the maximum of the arming, on December 1, which is an ordinary day, where the finger 61 can not pass through the notch 87, and can only slide on the bearing face 97 during the movement of the perpetual rocker 2, and hook the single tooth of an ordinary day change, as visible on the Figures 25, 26, 27 , which show this passage of date from December 1 to 2, during which the finger 61 can not cross the notch 87 and slides on the face 97.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece 1000 comprising a movement 200, and comprising such a date mechanism 100.
  • this movement 200 is arranged to control once a day a pivoting movement of a perpetual rocker 2, that includes the date mechanism 100.
