Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two parts of a stem of staggered axes for a watch movement, a first portion of which is intended to be housed at least partially in the watch movement while being arranged to be movable between at least first and second axial positions and the second part is intended to carry a crown at its free end, outside the watch movement.
  • this transmission mechanism comprises a device for transmitting axial movements between the first and second parts, as well as a kinematic connection between a first pinion integral in rotation with the first portion and a second pinion integral in rotation with the second portion.
  • each rod portion carries a pinion arranged in engagement with the pinion of the other rod portion.
  • a jumper is provided to hold the two parts of the rod integral with each other in the direction of their axial movements.
  • the rider is engaged in a groove in each of the two parts of the rod, by elastic deformation.
  • the patent application EP 1134628 A1 has a mechanism similar to the previous one, in which the jumper is replaced by a frame carrying at least one intermediate return, or an odd number of references intermediates, to ensure that both parts of the rod rotate in the same direction of rotation.
  • the second pinion is assembled to the second portion of the rod prior to the insertion of the latter through its housing in the box.
  • the dimensions of this housing limit those of the second pinion, which may impose a limitation on the magnitude of the possible offset between the two parts of the rod.
  • the patent EP 1748330 B1 proposes an alternative solution to the structures which have just been exposed, according to which a portion of the rod situated entirely in the watch movement is arranged fixed in its longitudinal direction.
  • the other rod part, carrying the control ring cooperates with a pulling knob controlling the displacements of a free mounted pinion, in the axial direction, on the first part of the rod while being secured to the latter in rotation by a square type connection.
  • a main object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the control mechanisms known from the prior art, by proposing a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two parts of a rod of offset axes, for a watch movement, requiring only a minimum of modifications to be made to an existing watch movement while presenting a simplified assembly procedure with reference existing mechanisms.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a transmission mechanism as defined above, comprising a pull tab, intended to ensure the maintenance of the second rod portion with reference to the watch movement and cooperating with it to ensure its positioning between minus first and second axial positions. Furthermore, the pull tab is arranged to cooperate with the second pinion so as to slave to the axial movements of the second portion of the rod, at least in the direction from the inside of the clock movement outwardly.
  • the transmission mechanism according to the present invention makes it possible to preserve the construction of the control rod provided in the basic clockwork movement, while requiring only a minimum of adaptation, while the fact that the zipper ensures the servocontrol of the second pinion to the corresponding part of the rod, in at least one direction of its axial displacements, makes it possible to simplify the assembly of this rod part with reference to the known mechanisms of the prior art.
  • the pull tab comprises a first finger intended to be placed in abutment against the second pinion on the nearest side of the watch movement with reference to the second pinion.
  • the pull tab may comprise a second finger intended to be placed in abutment against the second pinion on the furthest side of the watch movement with reference to the second pinion.
  • the pull tab can act on the second pinion to enslave axial movements of the second part of the rod in both directions of movement.
  • the second finger can be arranged to cooperate further with a corresponding annular groove formed in the second rod portion, to define the mode of cooperation between the zipper and the second portion of the rod.
  • the mechanism may comprise an abutment surface formed on the second rod portion and against which the second pinion is arranged in its operating position, the abutment surface being located on the furthest side of the watch movement. with reference to the second gear.
  • the second pinion can simply be threaded onto the second part of the rod when the latter is disposed in its housing, the establishment of the zipper ending to ensure their relative positioning easily thanks to a pre- positioning operated by the abutment surface.
  • this abutment surface also serves to slave the second gear to the axial displacements of the second portion of the rod in the direction from the outside to the inside of the watch movement.
  • the device for transmitting axial movements comprises first and second flanges carried by the first rod portion being disposed on either side of the first pinion and having respective diameters greater than that of the latter. , the second pinion being engaged between the two flanges in its engaged position with the first pinion.
  • the assembly procedure of the mechanism according to the present invention is very simple. It suffices to position the second gear so that it is engaged with the first gear, between the two flanges, before disposing the second part of the rod in its housing, until the contact between the second pinion and abutment surface is established, and then set up the zipper.
  • the latter may advantageously be assembled with reference to the frame of the watch movement in a conventional manner, by screwing.
  • the present invention also relates to a control member for a watch movement comprising a rod made of two shaft parts with staggered axes, a first portion of which is intended to be at least partially housed in the watch movement while being arranged to be movable. between at least first and second axial positions and the second portion is intended to carry a crown at its end free, outside the watch movement, the rod being associated with a transmission mechanism as defined above.
  • the present invention also relates to a watch movement comprising such a control member and a timepiece comprising such a watch movement.
  • the figure 1 represents a simplified perspective view of a transmission mechanism according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the Figures 2a and 2b represent respectively cross-sectional views of the transmission mechanism of the figure 1 in respective first and second configurations.
  • the transmission mechanism is intended to be implanted in association with a watch movement 1 housed in a timepiece box, not visible, via a casing ring 2.
  • the watch movement and the circle of encageage are only partially represented in transparency for the sake of clarity of the figures.
  • a first portion 4 of control rod is partially housed inside the watch movement 1.
  • the portion of this rod located in the watch movement has not been shown to simplify the figures, as long as it is conventional.
  • it is in fact arranged to cooperate with a pull (not shown) itself controlling the displacements of a sliding pinion (not shown) integral in rotation with this portion 4 of the rod.
  • the portion 5 of the first portion 4 of the control rod located outside the watch movement differs substantially from the known structures of the prior art. This is arranged in a recess 6 formed in the casing ring 2.
  • this portion 5 carries a first pinion 8 arranged between two flanges 9, 10 generally disc shape, here of the same diameter.
  • This assembly is held fixed on the portion 5 of the rod in that the flange 10 is crimped at the end of the portion 5.
  • the flange 9 is here made in one piece with the portion 5 of the first portion 4 of the rod.
  • portion 5 partially has a square section (not visible) on which the pinion 8 is engaged, so that the latter is integral in rotation with the first rod portion 4.
  • the recess 6 of the casing ring 2 has dimensions such that the first portion 4 of the rod can be moved axially between at least first and second axial positions.
  • the control rod has a second rod portion 12, with an axis offset in reference to the axis of the first portion 4 and shown schematically. It should be noted in particular that the portion of the timepiece visible on the top of the figure 1 corresponds to the dial side. Thus, while the first portion 4 of the rod is disposed near the bottom of the box, because the basic clockwork movement implemented is surmounted by an additional module disposed dial side, the second part 12 is, she , arranged substantially towards the middle of the box.
  • the second portion 12 of rod is intended to carry a control ring outside the timepiece box, in particular to allow a user to manually remount the watch movement or to make a setting hour, conventionally.
  • the second portion 12 of rod has an annular extra thickness 14 followed, in the direction of the interior of the watch movement, a portion 15, of smaller transverse dimensions than those of the overthickness and square section, the extra thickness 14 defining a surface of stop, by its inner face, for a second pinion 16.
  • the second pinion 16 carries a gun 17 and is arranged free in translation on the portion 15 of the second rod portion 12 to be integral in rotation with the latter.
  • the bore (not visible) of the pinion 16 and / or its barrel 17 has a square internal section to cooperate with the square of the second portion 12 rod.
  • the second pinion is arranged in engagement with the first pinion 8 to transmit the rotational movements of the second portion 12 of the rod to the first portion 4 of the rod.
  • the second pinion is housed between the flanges 9 and 10, so as to cooperate with them to transmit the axial displacements of the second portion 12 of the rod to the first portion 4 of the rod.
  • the second pinion 16 must be slaved to the axial displacements of the second portion 12 of the rod. It emerges from its mode of cooperation with the second rod portion 12 that the abutment surface defined by the excess thickness 14 acts on the second pinion to push it towards the inside of the watch movement during the movements of the second rod portion. in the same direction.
  • the transmission mechanism according to the present invention comprises a pull 18 - additional to the conventional pull rod already present in the watch movement, as mentioned above - arranged to cooperate with both the second shaft portion 12 and the second pinion 16.
  • the pull tab 18 is intended to cooperate with an annular groove 19, formed in the second rod portion 12, so that the pull rod pivots in response to the axial displacements of the second rod portion.
  • the pull tab 18 comprises a finger 20 disposed in the annular groove 19 and against the second pinion 16, on the side of the watch movement, so as to be able to push the latter towards the outside when the second portion 12 of rod is drawn.
  • the second pinion 16 then acts on the flange 9 disposed on the movement side to push it towards the movement, the first portion 4 of the rod following the same movement.
  • This operation is illustrated by the passage of the configuration of the mechanism of the figure 2a (neutral or winding position of the stem) to that of the figure 2b (position taken from the stem, for example for setting the time).
  • the conventional winding and setting mechanism located in the watch movement, fulfills its role in a known manner.
  • the casing ring 2 here preferably comprises a bore 22 in which is engaged the inner end of the second rod portion 12, in order to ensure guiding of the latter during its movements.
  • the pull tab 18 here comprises a hole 24 intended to cooperate with the free end 25 of a fastening screw 26, housed in a suitable hole of the casing ring 2.
  • the end of the pull tab opposite the finger 20 has a spout 28 arranged to cooperate with the free end 30 of a flat spring 31 whose base 32 is also integral with the casing ring, by means of a screw (no shown).
  • the free end 30 has two notches 33, 34, each of which is associated with one of the axial positions of the second rod portion 12 by defining the stable positions of the pull tab 18.
  • the assembly method of the transmission mechanism according to the invention is clearly simplified with reference to methods of assembling mechanisms of the prior art.
  • the first portion 4 rod must be modified at its outer end, relative to a conventional control rod, before being implemented in the watch movement and retained by a base pull.
  • the second pinion 16 can be put in place, in engagement with the first pinion 8, then the second portion 12 of the rod can be inserted into its housing, through the timepiece box (watch movement having been nested beforehand).
  • the annular extra thickness 14 then defines a stop in cooperation with the second pinion, during the establishment of the second rod portion.
  • the zipper 18 can then be assembled to the casing ring to maintain the second stem portion and thus the assembly.
  • the Figures 3a and 3b represent respectively front views of the transmission mechanism of the figure 1 in respective first and second configurations. More specifically, the mechanism is represented in a view along the axial direction of the rod, from outside the watch movement 1.
  • the second rod portion 12 can be arranged all around the axis of the first rod portion 4, in a circle whose radius corresponds to the spacing X to be provided between the two gears 8 and 16.
  • the pull tab comprises a second finger arranged to cooperate with the second pinion 16 on the outside, one or the other of the two fingers of the puller cooperating with an annular groove of the second portion of the rod to control the pivoting of the zipper axial movements thereof.
  • each of the fingers cooperates with an annular groove adapted to the second portion 12 of the rod, being arranged in abutment against one side of the second pinion 16, the provision of the annular extra thickness on the rod not being in this case not absolutely necessary.
  • first and second pinions 8 and 16 are not necessarily arranged in direct connection for the implementation of the present invention.
  • One or more intermediate references may be provided.
  • the transmission mechanism according to the present invention is not limited to the implementation of a control member for performing the reassembly or setting time of the timepiece.
  • Other commands are also possible without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined by the appended claims.
