Divulgation de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne un mécanisme d'affichage tel que défini dans les revendications.More specifically, the invention relates to a display mechanism as defined in the claims.

Brève description des dessinsBrief description of the drawings

D'autres détails de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui suit, faite en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • les figures 1a, 1b, 1c et 1d représentent différentes positions du mécanisme d'affichage selon l'invention, prises au cours de différentes journées, et
  • la figure 2 fournit un exemple d'un mode de réalisation d'un tel mécanisme d'affichage.
Other details of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the description which follows, made with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • the Figures 1a, 1b , 1c and 1d represent different positions of the display mechanism according to the invention, taken during different days, and
  • the figure 2 provides an example of an embodiment of such a display mechanism.

Mode(s) de réalisation de l'inventionMode (s) of realization of the invention

On peut voir sur les figures 1a à 1d, un exemple d'un mécanisme d'affichage des positions respectives du soleil, de la terre et de la lune selon l'invention. Il comprend une représentation de la terre 10 située au centre du mécanisme. Cette représentation de la terre 10 peut être implicite, c'est-à-dire simplement définie par un axe d'aiguille, une ouverture dans un cadran ou un disque d'affichage.We can see on Figures 1a to 1d , an example of a mechanism for displaying the respective positions of the sun, the earth and the moon according to the invention. It includes a representation of the earth 10 located in the center of the mechanism. This representation of the earth 10 may be implicit, i.e. simply defined by a needle axis, an aperture in a dial, or a display disk.

Le mécanisme d'affichage comprend encore un premier disque 12 monté pivotant autour du centre du mécanisme. Ce premier disque 12 porte une représentation du soleil 14, par exemple sous la forme d'une zone circulaire, réalisée en une première couleur. De préférence, la zone circulaire est sensiblement centrée sur le milieu d'un rayon, soit au quart d'un diamètre, du premier disque 12 et le diamètre de la zone circulaire est environ égal à la moitié de celui du premier disque 12.The display mechanism further comprises a first disk 12 pivotally mounted about the center of the mechanism. This first disc 12 carries a representation of the sun 14, for example in the form of a circular zone, made in a first color. Preferably, the circular zone is substantially centered on the middle of a radius, ie a quarter of a diameter, of the first disk 12 and the diameter of the circular zone is approximately equal to half that of the first disk 12.

Le premier disque 12 porte également une représentation des parties éclairées de la lune 16, réalisée en une deuxième couleur différente de la première. La représentation des parties éclairées de la lune 16 est de forme générale cardioïde. Elle est inscriptible dans un cercle, dont le centre définit le centre de la représentation des parties éclairées de la lune 16. Ce centre est aligné avec le centre de la représentation du soleil 14 et le centre du premier disque 12. La forme cardioïde est définie par une échancrure formée dans le cercle, cette échancrure contournant et épousant sensiblement le contour de la représentation de la terre 10.The first disc 12 also carries a representation of the illuminated parts of the moon 16, made in a second color different from the first. The representation of the illuminated parts of the moon 16 is generally cardioid. It is writable in a circle, whose center defines the center of the representation of the illuminated parts of the moon 16. This center is aligned with the center of the representation of the sun 14 and the center of the first disc 12. The cardioid form is defined by a notch formed in the circle, this notch bypassing and substantially marrying the contour of the representation of the earth 10.

Pour son entraînement par un mouvement horloger, le premier disque 12 est avantageusement doté d'une denture périphérique, non visible sur le dessin. Cette denture périphérique peut être entraînée, comme on le détaillera ci-après, à raison d'un tour par vingt-quatre heures.For its training by a watch movement, the first disc 12 is advantageously provided with a peripheral toothing, not visible in the drawing. This peripheral toothing can be driven, as will be detailed below, at a rate of one turn per twenty-four hours.

Le mécanisme d'affichage comprend également un second disque 20 agencé coaxialement au premier disque 12. Le second disque 20 porte une représentation de la lune 18. Le second disque 20 est susceptible d'être entraîné en superposition avec le premier disque 12 tout en laissant visible ce dernier. Dans l'exemple, le second disque est disposé par dessus le premier. Il est complètement ajouré et la représentation de la lune 18 est un anneau squeletté permettant de voir presque complètement le premier disque 12. On pourrait également avoir un second disque 20 transparent portant un cercle lunaire de couleur ou gravé ou un disque coloré et transparent.The display mechanism also comprises a second disk 20 arranged coaxially with the first disk 12. The second disk 20 carries a representation of the moon 18. The second disk 20 is capable of being superimposed with the first disk 12 while leaving visible this last. In the example, the second disk is disposed over the first. It is completely perforated and the representation of the moon 18 is a skeletonized ring allowing to see almost completely the first disc 12. One could also have a second transparent disc bearing a lunar circle of color or engraved or a colored and transparent disc.

On notera que, dans l'exemple proposé, le premier disque 12 et les représentations qu'il porte sont opaques. Cependant, le premier disque 12 et lesdites représentations pourraient également être transparents. Le second disque 20 pourrait alors être situé sous le premier disque 12.It will be noted that, in the example proposed, the first disk 12 and the representations it carries are opaque. However, the first disk 12 and said representations could also be transparent. The second disk 20 could then be located under the first disk 12.

La représentation de la lune 18 est de dimensions sensiblement égales à la représentation du soleil 14. Lesdites représentations sont agencées de manière à pouvoir être superposées, les bords de la représentation de la lune 18 étant alors superposés à la périphérie de la zone circulaire.The representation of the moon 18 is of dimensions substantially equal to the representation of the sun 14. Said representations are arranged so as to be superimposed, the edges of the representation of the moon 18 then being superimposed on the periphery of the circular area.

Pour son entraînement par un mouvement horloger, le second disque 20 est avantageusement doté d'une denture périphérique, non visible sur le dessin. Cette denture périphérique peut être entraînée, comme on le détaillera ci-après, à raison de 0,966 tour par jour.For its training by a watch movement, the second disc 20 is advantageously provided with a peripheral toothing, not visible in the drawing. This peripheral toothing can be driven, as will be detailed below, at a rate of 0.966 rounds per day.

Le premier disque 12 et le second disque 20 sont agencés de manière à être entraînés en synchronisme pour représenter les positions respectives du soleil, de la terre et de la lune, et pour représenter les phases de la lune par la superposition de la représentation des parties éclairées de la lune et de la représentation de la lune 18. On comprend donc que le second disque 20 peut être entraîné à une vitesse légèrement plus lente que le premier disque 12, pour présenter la phase de la lune au cours des jours successifs, mais en se déphasant progressivement, de manière à faire évoluer les phases de lune représentées. La lune effectuant une lunaison en environ 29,5jours, le second disque 20 doit donc se déphaser d'un tour en référence au premier disque 12 en 29,5jours. En d'autres termes, le premier disque 12 peut effectuer un tour de plus que le second disque 20, en 29,5jours.The first disk 12 and the second disk 20 are arranged to be synchronously driven to represent the respective positions of the sun, the earth and the moon, and to represent the phases of the moon by the superposition of the representation of the parts. illuminated by the moon and the representation of the moon 18. It is therefore understood that the second disc 20 can be driven at a speed slightly slower than the first disc 12, to present the phase of the moon during successive days, but gradually phasing out, so as to change the moon phases represented. The moon performing a lunation in about 29.5 days, the second disc 20 must be out of phase with a turn in reference to the first disc 12 in 29.5 days. In other words, the first disk 12 can take one more revolution than the second disk 20, in 29.5 days.

Ainsi, la figure 1 montre la position prise par le soleil et la lune. On peut agencer le mécanisme de la manière suivante.

  • A l'aube (figure 1a), la représentation du soleil 14 se trouve à 9H en référence au cadran. Simultanément, on voit la phase de lune représentée par la coïncidence entre la représentation de la lune 18 et la représentation des parties éclairées de la lune 16. Dans le cas proposé, la lune est pleine.
  • A midi, la représentation du soleil 14 se trouve à 12H en référence au cadran (figure 1b). Dans ce cas, la lune est nouvelle.
  • Au crépuscule, la représentation du soleil 14 se trouve à 3H en référence au cadran (figure 1c). Dans ce cas, la lune est à son premier quartier.
  • A minuit, la représentation du soleil 14 se trouve à 6H en référence au cadran (figure 1d). Dans ce cas, la lune est à son dernier quartier.
    Avec un tel agencement, la représentation du soleil en référence au cadran correspond à la position du soleil dans le ciel pour un observateur se trouvant dans l'hémisphère nord de la terre et regardant en direction du sud (soleil à gauche à l'aube, en haut à midi, à droite au crépuscule et en bas (invisible) à minuit).
So, the figure 1 shows the position taken by the sun and the moon. The mechanism can be arranged as follows.
  • At dawn ( figure 1a ), the representation of the sun 14 is at 9H with reference to the dial. Simultaneously, we see the moon phase represented by the coincidence between the representation of the moon 18 and the representation of the illuminated parts of the moon 16. In the proposed case, the moon is full.
  • At noon, the representation of the sun 14 is at 12H with reference to the dial ( figure 1b ). In this case, the moon is new.
  • At dusk, the representation of the sun 14 is at 3H with reference to the dial ( figure 1c ). In this case, the moon is in its first neighborhood.
  • At midnight, the representation of the sun 14 is at 6 o'clock with reference to the dial ( figure 1d ). In this case, the moon is at its last quarter.
    With such an arrangement, the representation of the sun in reference to the dial corresponds to the position of the sun in the sky for an observer located in the northern hemisphere of the earth and looking towards the south (sun on the left at dawn, top at noon, right at dusk and bottom (invisible) at midnight).

Pour réaliser l'entraînement de ces éléments, on propose à la figure 2, un mécanisme ayant, pour roue motrice, une roue des heures 22, destinée à être entraînée par un mouvement horloger à raison de deux tours par jour. Cette roue des heures 22 est située, de préférence, au centre du mouvement, qui est également le centre du mécanisme.To achieve the training of these elements, it is proposed to figure 2 , a mechanism having, for driving wheel, a wheel hours 22, intended to be driven by a watch movement at the rate of two revolutions per day. This hour wheel 22 is preferably located at the center of the movement, which is also the center of the mechanism.

Cette roue des heures 22 est en prise avec un pignon des heures 24 qui porte, sur son axe et solidairement, un pignon solaire 26 et un pignon lunaire 28. Sur la figure, ces deux pignons solaire 26 et lunaire 28 sont presque identiques, de sorte que l'un est masqué par l'autre. Le pignon solaire 26 est en prise avec la denture périphérique du premier disque 12, disposé sur l'axe de la roue des heures 22, au centre du mécanisme dans l'exemple proposé. Le premier disque 12 pivote librement en référence à la roue des heures 22. Le pignon lunaire 28 est en prise avec la denture périphérique du second disque 20, disposé sur l'axe de la roue des heures 22, au centre du mécanisme dans l'exemple proposé. Le second disque 20 pivote librement en référence à la roue des heures 22.This hour wheel 22 is engaged with a pinion hours 24 which carries, on its axis and integrally, a sun gear 26 and a moon gear 28. In the figure, these two solar gears 26 and lunar 28 are almost identical, so that one is masked by the other. The sun gear 26 is engaged with the peripheral teeth of the first disk 12, arranged on the axis of the hour wheel 22, in the center of the mechanism in the proposed example. The first disc 12 pivots freely with reference to the hour wheel 22. The lunar pinion 28 is engaged with the peripheral toothing of the second disc 20, disposed on the axis of the hour wheel 22, at the center of the mechanism in the proposed example. The second disc 20 pivots freely with reference to the hour wheel 22.

Dans cet exemple, les rapports d'entraînement entre les différents mobiles sont ajustés de manière à ce que le premier disque 12 soit entraîné à raison de 1tour par 24heures, et de manière à ce que le second disque 20 soit entraîné à raison de 0,966 tours par jour.In this example, the training ratios between the different mobiles are adjusted so that the first disc 12 is driven at a rate of 1 revolution per 24 hours, and so that the second disc 20 is driven at the rate of 0.966 turns. per day.

Dans une première variante, on propose les dentures suivantes :

  • roue des heures 22 : 57 dents, entraînée à raison de 2 tours par jour dans le sens horaire (en référence au dessin);
  • pignon des heures 24 : 16 dents, entraîné à raison de 2*(57/16) tours par jour dans le sens antihoraire ;
  • pignon solaire 26 : 8 dents, entraîné à la même vitesse et dans le même sens que le pignon des heures 24 dont il est solidaire ;
  • premier disque 12 : 57 dents au niveau de la denture périphérique, entraîné à raison de 2*(57/16)*(8/57), soit 1 tour par jour dans le sens horaire ;
  • pignon lunaire 28 : 8 dents, entraîné à la même vitesse et dans le même sens que le pignon des heures 24 dont il est solidaire ; et
  • second disque 20 : 59 dents, entraîné à raison de 2*(57/16)*(8/59), soit 0,966 tours par jour, dans le sens horaire.
In a first variant, the following toothings are proposed:
  • hour wheel 22: 57 teeth, driven at the rate of 2 revolutions per day clockwise (with reference to the drawing);
  • pinion hours 24: 16 teeth, driven at a rate of 2 * (57/16) revolutions per day counterclockwise;
  • sun gear 26: 8 teeth, driven at the same speed and in the same direction as the pinion hours 24 which it is secured;
  • first disc 12: 57 teeth at the peripheral toothing, driven at the rate of 2 * (57/16) * (8/57), ie 1 turn per day clockwise;
  • lunar pinion 28: 8 teeth, driven at the same speed and in the same direction as the pinion of the hours 24 of which it is integral; and
  • second disc 20: 59 teeth, trained at a rate of 2 * (57/16) * (8/59), or 0.966 turns per day, clockwise.

Chaque jour, le second disque 20 accomplit 0.034 (1-0,966) tours de moins que le premier disque 12. Ainsi, le second disque 20 effectue un tour de moins que le premier pendant une période d'une lunaison de 29,50 jours (1/0,034=29,50).Each day, the second disk 20 accomplishes 0.034 (1-0.966) less revolutions than the first disk 12. Thus, the second disk 20 performs one revolution less than the first one during a period of a lunation of 29.50 days ( 1 / 0.034 = 29.50).

Dans une deuxième variante, on propose les dentures suivantes :

  • roue des heures 22 : 83 dents, entraînée à raison de 2 tours par jour dans le sens horaire (en référence au dessin);
  • pignon des heures 24 : 18 dents, entraîné à raison de 2*(83/18) tours par jour dans le sens antihoraire ;
  • pignon solaire 26 : 9 dents, entraîné à la même vitesse et dans le même sens que le pignon des heures 24 dont il est solidaire ;
  • premier disque 12 : 83 dents au niveau de la denture périphérique, entraîné à raison de 2*(83/18)*(9/83), soit 1 tour par jour dans le sens horaire ;
  • pignon lunaire 28 : 11 dents, entraîné à la même vitesse et dans le même sens que le pignon des heures 24 dont il est solidaire ; et
  • second disque 20 : 105 dents, entraîné à raison de 2*(83/18)*(11/105) soit 0,966 tours par jour, dans le sens horaire.
In a second variant, the following toothings are proposed:
  • hour wheel 22: 83 teeth, driven at a rate of 2 revolutions per day clockwise (with reference to the drawing);
  • pinion hours 24: 18 teeth, driven at a rate of 2 * (83/18) revolutions per day counterclockwise;
  • sun gear 26: 9 teeth, driven at the same speed and in the same direction as the pinion hours 24 which it is secured;
  • first disc 12: 83 teeth at the peripheral toothing, driven at a rate of 2 * (83/18) * (9/83), ie 1 turn per day clockwise;
  • lunar pinion 28: 11 teeth, driven at the same speed and in the same direction as the pinion of the hours 24 of which it is integral; and
  • second disc 20: 105 teeth, driven at a rate of 2 * (83/18) * (11/105) or 0.966 turns per day, clockwise.

Chaque jour, le second disque 20 accomplit 0.034 (1-0,966) tours de moins que la roue solaire. Ainsi, le second disque 20 effectue un tour de moins que le premier pendant une période d'une lunaison de 29,53 jours (1/0,034=29,53). Cette deuxième variante offre une meilleure précision que la première puisque la durée d'une lunaison est d'environ 29,53 jours.Each day, the second disk 20 accomplishes 0.034 (1-0.966) revolutions less than the sun wheel. Thus, the second disc 20 is one revolution shorter than the first for a period of 29.53 days (1 / 0.034 = 29.53). This second variant offers a better precision than the first since the duration of a lunation is about 29,53 days.

Naturellement, les exemples ci-dessus, même s'ils sont avantageux, ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'illustration non limitative de l'invention. On pourrait notamment prendre des multiples des engrenages proposés, tout en conservant les rapports d'entraînement.Of course, the above examples, although advantageous, are given by way of non-limiting illustration of the invention. In particular, we could take multiples of the proposed gears while retaining the training reports.

De plus, le mécanisme d'affichage repose sur l'entraînement selon un différentiel de vitesse adapté, du premier disque 12 et du second disque 20. Dans l'exemple ci-dessus, c'est le premier disque 12 qui sert de référence et qui tourne à sa vitesse « normale » soit un tour en 24h, c'est-à-dire selon le rythme du soleil. On pourrait également choisir de prendre le second disque comme référence et que celui-ci fasse un tour en une lunaison. Dans ce cas, le mécanisme ne permet plus d'avoir l'affichage de la position du soleil dans le ciel au cours d'une journée, mais il permet toujours de donner la représentation de la position relative des 3 astres et la phase de lune. On aurait alors la lune toujours positionnée au même endroit du cadran pour une phase donnée, par exemple, la pleine lune toujours à 12H.In addition, the display mechanism is based on the drive according to a suitable speed differential, the first disk 12 and the second disk 20. In the example above, it is the first disk 12 which serves as a reference and which turns at its speed "normal" is a turn in 24h, that is to say according to the rhythm of the sun. One could also choose to take the second disc as reference and that it makes a turn into a lunation. In this case, the mechanism does not allow to have the display of the position of the sun in the sky during a day, but it still allows to give the representation of the relative position of the 3 stars and the moon phase . We would then have the moon still positioned at the same spot of the dial for a given phase, for example, the full moon still at 12 o'clock.

On notera encore que l'homme du métier saura adapter le présent descriptif pour un affichage adapté à une utilisation dans l'hémisphère sud. Dans ce cas, les disques tournent en sens inverse, ce qui peut être obtenu soit en ajoutant des renvois entre la roue motrice et les disques, soit en inversant le sens de rotation de la roue motrice. Les vitesses de rotation sont également adaptées pour avoir le déphasage voulu. Aussi, dans la présente demande, les notions « d'entraînement » ou de « liaison cinématique » doivent s'interpréter comme englobant des liaisons directes ou indirectes.Note also that the skilled person will adapt the present description for a display suitable for use in the southern hemisphere. In this case, the discs rotate in the opposite direction, which can be obtained either by adding references between the driving wheel and the discs, or by reversing the direction of rotation of the driving wheel. The rotational speeds are also adapted to have the desired phase shift. Also, in the present application, the concepts of "drive" or "kinematic link" should be interpreted as including direct or indirect links.
