Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It concerns, more particularly, a watch called universal time.
  • a universal watch makes it possible to simultaneously display the current time in the different time zones of the world.
  • such a timepiece comprises, in addition to needles 10 to indicate the local time, a disc twenty-four hours 12 and a record of cities 14 representing different time zones of the world.
  • the hands indicate the time in the time zone of the selected city, generally at noon and which may be advantageously indicated by a particular fixed mark 16 located on the dial.
  • the twenty-four hour disk 12 is driven by the motion and is kinematically connected to the hour hand so as to display the time in the different time zones of the world.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a universal time display timepiece with an advantageous correction mechanism and free from the above disadvantages.
  • the timepiece according to the invention further comprises a kinematic connection between the disc twenty-four hours and the disc cities.
  • This kinematic connection comprises a kinematic transmission ring interposed between the disc twenty-four hours and the city disc, the universal time setting member being adapted to drive said transmission crown.
  • the timepiece according to the invention also comprises a first and a second unidirectional drive system, respectively upstream and downstream of the kinematic transmission ring.
  • the first indicator and the twenty-four hour disc remain synchronized, the disc of the cities being driven only during a setting of universal time, always in synchronism with the first indicator and the disc twenty-four hours.
  • a timepiece with universal time display includes a watch movement capable of indicating the current time.
  • This information typically relates to the local time, that is to say at the time of the location of the wearer of the timepiece.
  • the local time is provided by a first indicator, typically by a set of hands 10, one of which indicates the time and is driven by the movement at a rate of one turn, typically in twelve hours.
  • Local time could also be displayed in a 24-hour cycle.
  • the hour hand is mounted on an additional wheel hours 18. The latter is integral in rotation with the wheel hours of movement but it can be disconnected at the means of a frictional connection or a snap-fit using, for example, a pawl and a star.
  • Such an arrangement makes it possible, as will be understood hereafter, to adjust the display of the local time by means of a regulator 20 of the universal time, limiting the disturbances on the course of the movement.
  • the first indicator is kinematically connected by a gear train 22 to a second indicator, taking the form of a disc twenty-four hours 12, bearing the numerical indications of the twenty-four hours of the day.
  • the gear train 22 decreases the rotational speed of the first indicator, so that the second indicator is intended to be driven by the movement at the rate of one revolution in twenty-four hours.
  • the disc twenty-four hours 12 comprises an internal toothing 12a with which meshes the gear train 22. Because the gear train 22 permanently engages the first and second indicators, they remain synchronized .
  • the twenty-four hour disc 12 can also be divided into two equal color equal parts to provide an indication of day and night. We can also choose another means of representation of day and night.
  • the timepiece according to the invention also comprises a third indicator, taking the form of a city disc 14.
  • the latter comprises twenty-four indications of places, each corresponding to a time zone.
  • the disk of the cities 14 may also indicate half-spindles or quarter-spindle.
  • the disc of the cities 14 is rotatably mounted in reference to the disc twenty-four hours 12. It is rotated by means of the adjustment member 20 universal time as will be detailed below.
  • the disk of the cities 14 is integral with a set of teeth 23, whose number of teeth corresponds to the number of indicated spindles, in order to index the position of the disk of the cities 14 by the support of a jumper spring 25.
  • the timepiece further comprises a kinematic connection between the disk twenty-four hours 12 and the disk of the cities 14.
  • This kinematic link is made by a kinematic transmission ring 24 interposed between the disc twenty-four hours 12 and the city disc 14.
  • the kinematic transmission ring 24 comprises a double set of teeth, one inside 24a and the other outside 24b.
  • the internal toothing 24a makes it possible to kinematically connect the transmission ring 24 to that 12a of the twenty-four hour disc 12 by a linkage gear 26 which incorporates a first unidirectional drive system 28.
  • a unidirectional drive system is a system that transmits a rotational movement that it receives to a driven mobile, when it is driven in a first direction.
  • the unidirectional drive system does not transmit the rotational movement to the driven mobile.
  • the unidirectional drive system remains in engagement with the driven mobile and must therefore be distinguished from a clutch system.
  • Such a unidirectional drive system may be a one-way bearing, as provided by MPS Micro Precision Systems AG, or a unidirectional gear as described by the Applicant in the patent CH700806 .
  • the first unidirectional drive system 28 is of unidirectional rolling type. It is arranged so that a rotation of the disc twenty-four hours 12 in the normal operating direction, that is to say in the direction of movement drive (in the example, in the opposite direction clockwise), does not drive the transmission ring 24 and therefore does not drive the disk of the cities 14.
  • the timepiece comprises at least one second unidirectional drive system 30.
  • the upstream and downstream are defined with respect to the direction of transmission of the energy in the kinematic chain.
  • this second unidirectional drive system 30 comprises pivotally mounted on the disc of the cities 14, a driven pinion 32 secured to a locking wheel 34 meshing with the external toothing 24b of the transmission ring 24.
  • the locking wheel 34 is engaged with two locking pinions 36.
  • the shape of the teeth of the locking wheel 34 is arranged so that, when it rotates in a first direction, it drives the locking pinions 36 and when it rotates in a second direction. direction, it hangs against the lock pinions 32.
  • the timepiece according to the invention also comprises a mechanism for adjusting the universal time capable of driving the transmission ring 24 in a direction that makes it possible to obtain the locking of the locking wheel 34 against the pinions of locking 36.
  • This adjustment mechanism comprises the adjusting member 20 which typically takes the form of a secondary ring, dissociated from the main control rod which conventionally allows the local time to be adjusted and, if necessary, to arm a source of energy or to perform another function, such as a correction of the date for example.
  • the secondary ring is mounted on a secondary rod 38 which, preferably, must be drawn axially to activate the adjustment mechanism and connect the adjusting member 20 and the transmission ring 24.
  • the adjustment member could also be realized under the shape of a pusher may cause the transmission ring.
  • the elements described above behave as follows.
  • the additional hour wheel 18 is driven in the direction of clockwise and the disc twenty-four hours 12 is driven in the opposite direction.
  • the motives of linkage gear 26 which is located between the transmission ring 24 and the first unidirectional drive system 28 are driven.
  • the mobiles of the linkage 26 located between the first unidirectional drive system 28 and the transmission ring 24 are not driven.
  • the disk of the cities 14 remains motionless.
  • the first unidirectional drive system 28 is placed relatively early in the various kinematic chains, which allows to have few elements driven by the movement in its normal operation.
  • the additional hour wheel 18 is driven in a counterclockwise direction and the disc twenty-four hours 12 is driven in the direction of clockwise, that is to say in the opposite direction to the normal operating direction produced by the movement drive.
  • the first unidirectional drive system 28 transmits the rotational movement that it receives, so that all the mobiles of the linkage 26 are driven, as well as the transmission ring 24.
  • the locking wheel 34 drives locking gears 36 which rotate "in the vacuum”.
  • the disk of the cities 14 is not driven and is held in position by the jumper spring 25 which cooperates with the positioning gear 23. In this case, more elements are driven than previously, but this is not detrimental because the training is here manual.
  • the adjusting member 20 ( Fig. 4 ) it is arranged to drive the transmission ring 24 by its internal teeth 24a, in the opposite direction of clockwise.
  • the twenty-four hour disk 12 is driven by the linkage 26 and by the first unidirectional drive system 28. It is driven in the normal direction of operation, that is to say in the direction counterclockwise, as when it is driven by the movement.
  • the driving force here comes from the transmission ring 24 and not from the disc twenty- four hours 12.
  • the effect is similar to a reversal of the directions of rotation and thus a transmission of the rotation by the first unidirectional drive system 28 is obtained.
  • the disc of the cities 14 is driven in rotation by the transmission ring 24, under the action of the second unidirectional drive system 30.
  • the setting of the universal time makes it possible to drive in one single operation all the indicator organs, the disc twenty-four hours and the disc of the cities rotating counterclockwise while the hour hand turns in the clockwise.
  • the fact that the hour hand is mounted on an additional hour wheel 18 makes it possible to limit the disturbances induced on the movement when setting the universal time. Due to the fact that the disk of the cities 14 performs its rotation in steps of 1 / 24th of a turn (because of the spring-jumper 25 and the teeth of the positioning 23), the hour hand will also make jumps in steps of 1 / 12th of a turn synchronously with the disc twenty-four hours 12 and in conjunction with it.
  • the described mechanism requires very few components compared to other much more complex universal time systems.
  • the elements involved are almost exclusively rotating mobiles, which makes the mechanism very reliable and simple. All mobiles remain permanently engaged, which makes any deindexing impossible.
  • the movement works normally even if the user forgets to push the secondary rod.
  • unidirectional drive systems prevent any breakage and maintain indexing of the different indicator organs.
  • Examples of unidirectional drive systems may be substituted for each other.
  • the transmission ring 24 would then have only an internal toothing to be kinematically connected to the linkage 26 and to the adjustment member 20.
  • Other types of unidirectional drive could also be implemented, such as ratchet inverter systems, of the type used in automatic winding gears.
