- the invention relates to a device for displaying the hour, in particular a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch, or clockwork movement comprising a mechanism enabling the display member to switch the time of one hour. between two time zones.
- EP 2,008,159 discloses a wristwatch with a switching mechanism capable of selectively indicating the time of one or the other of two time zones by one and the same organ. display.
- the single hour hand selectively displays either the local time or the time of the second time zone, under the actuation of a push button.
- the switching mechanism comprises a core and two levers. The time difference between the local time and the time of the second time zone is determined by the relative position of one lever relative to the other.
- the disadvantage of the switching mechanism described in the above-mentioned document is that it includes display selection and adjustment mechanisms which are very complex and involve two differentials and a very large number of components.
- the adjustment of each of the zones is effected by means of distinct correction chains, independent of the switching mechanism. It follows that it is possible to change a time zone while it is the other time zone that is displayed.
- the European patent application published under No. EP 2362277 also describes a timepiece whose mechanism, Under the operation of a push button, it is possible to selectively indicate the time of one or the other of two time zones by the same hour hand.
- the device employs a bistable hammer, as well as two memory mobiles at heart, each dedicated to a specific time zone, which are kinematically linked within a single gear train which is engaged with an input of a differential. The time difference between the two time zones is determined by the relative position of the two cores which is controlled by the bistable hammer.
- Each of the memory mobiles also comprises the means for setting the time zone that is displayed by the timepiece.
- the switching and display adjustment mechanisms described in the aforementioned document have the disadvantage of being dissociated from the time and minute adjustment mechanism of the timepiece. Therefore, this device can not under any circumstances be self-sufficient and must be associated with a second mechanism so as to make 1 set of adjustments of the timepiece. Furthermore, this situation requires the presence of an additional adjustment member in addition to the time zone adjusting member, and therefore has impacts on the cladding of the timepiece.
- the main object of the invention is to propose a device for displaying the hour, in particular a timepiece, such as a wristwatch, which is capable of selectively displaying two time zones by means of a mechanism simple switching and consisting of a limited number of components. It is another object of the invention to provide a simple, reliable and robust 1 hour construction display device which allows for easy correction of one and on the other hand time indications of the two time zones.

- the first lever generally has an elongate shape and the second lever has a spring portion.
- a significant object of the invention is also to provide a time display device capable of setting or correcting only a time zone when it is displayed.
- This object is achieved by providing in the display device of the time defined above a control rod that can occupy at least two positions, for example, a winding position and a setting position of 1 hour, this control rod in one of these positions cooperating with the control member to set the time selected by the latter and displayed by the display member A1, A2. In order to avoid any confusion in the setting of the time, actuation of the control member is not possible when the control rod is in the one-hour setting position.
- the time display device comprises a first clock train of the first time zone and a second clock train of the second time zone.
- the time display device comprises means for selecting the setting wheel string corresponding to the time zone selected and displayed by the body. display A1, A2 and by which the setting of the hour must be made. More particularly, one or the other of the two control gear chains corresponding to the selected spindle may in particular include the means for setting the minute indication. Thus, the setting of one or the other of the two time zones induces by the same operation the complete setting of the hour display device.
- the invention generally relates to a time display device comprising an hour display member A1, A2 and a switching mechanism enabling the display member to 1 'time to switch between two time zones, this timepiece being distinguished in that it further comprises a display member D, particularly in number of hours, the offset between the two time zones.

- a second lever provided for indicating to the display member the time of the other time zone, a two-position selection member cooperating with the first lever, and
- control member P making it possible to select one or the other of the time zones to be displayed and cooperating with the two-position selection member.
- the switching mechanism comprises a dial provided with a window G and a mask M provided between the body of the invention.
- display D and a dial of the display device 1 'hour to hide or not, depending on the position of the lever, the portion of the display member D located opposite the window G.
- This mask M may optionally be attached to the first lever or cooperate with the latter, in particular by means of a suitable gear train.

- the hour hand A1 is integrally mounted on the axis of the wheel. output wheel 29 of a differential 29,30,33,34, so that it can take two angular positions under 1 action of the wheel 7 meshing with a toothing 30b of the input wheel of the differential 30 .
- the differential 29,30,33,34 is a spherical differential of known type.
- the needle A1 indicates the hour through the timer gear 32 which meshes with the planet wheel 33.
- the rotation of this wheel 33 is transmitted to the output wheel 29 of the differential by means of satellites 34 which are engaged on the one hand with the front teeth 29a of the wheel 29 and on the other hand with a front toothing 30a provided on the input wheel 30 of the differential.

- FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the timepiece according to the invention corresponding to the position I or winding position of the control rod T.
- the winding of the watch is ensured by means of a winding pinion (not visible on FIG. 6) whose ratchet gear is engaged with the ratchet gear 14a of a sliding pinion 14 which is mounted at square on the rod T and which is further provided with a front toothing 14b opposite to the ratchet toothing 14a.
- This device rod-pinion flowing winding-pinion is quite known.
- the configuration represented corresponds to the position II or position of correction or setting of the first time zone.
- first pull rod 15 is rotated by a first end 15a.
- This first pull 15 is pivoted in the turntable of the timepiece, at the pivot 15c.
- On the first pull tab 15 is rotatably mounted a first end 16a of a second pull tab 16.
- the positions of the rod T are defined by the notching produced by the jumper 17 cooperating in a known manner with the first pull tab 15 at its second end 15b.
- the second pull tab 16 has a second end 16b which cooperates with a first latch 18 by means of a pin 19 provided to move in a V-shaped lumen 20 of the latch 18, which light 20 thus forms a cam path.
- a second latch 21 is rotatably mounted by a first end 21a at a first end 18a of the first latch 18.
- a second end 18b of the first lever 18 carries a return wheel 23 adapted to cooperate with the front teeth 14b of the sliding pinion 14 and an intermediate wheel 35.
- a second end 21b of the second flip-flop 21 is disposed in a groove 22 formed in the sliding pinion 14, between its two teeth 14a and 14b.
- the second pull tab 16 drives the second rocker 21 so as to press the ratchet teeth 14a of the sliding pinion 14 against the winding pinion (not shown in the figure).
- the second pull tab 16 can assume two angular positions under the effect of a return spring 24 and a feeler 25 whose first end 25a is rotatably mounted on the second puller 16 by means of the axis 19 and a second end 25b cooperates with the two-position selection member 5, in this case the column wheel 5 by means of a pin 26.
- the probe 25 comprises between its first 25a and second 25b ends, an oblong hole 37 allowing it to be guided by a pin 38 fixed to the plate of the timepiece.
- Each of the two aforementioned angular positions corresponds to a time zone, and to the setting of this time zone by means of a dedicated gear train.
- the lever 1 is arranged so that its end 1b is in a recess 5a of the wheel 5 different from that in which the pin 26 is located.
- the end 2a of the lever 2 then presses on the heart 4 which corresponds to the display of the first time zone.
- the angular position of the second pull tab 16 which allows the mechanism to correct the second time zone is shown in FIG. 3.
- the pin 26 attached to the second end 25b of the feeler 25 bears against one of the columns. 5b of the column wheel 5.
- the axis 19 is then placed between the two ends, substantially in the center, of the light 20, which positions the latches 18 and 21 so that the gear train correction or adjustment the second time zone is engaged.
- This chain passes through the return wheel 23, an intermediate wheel 60, 61, 62 and the wheel 7 which is kinematically connected to the wheel 30 of the differential.
- a rotation of the control rod T induces the rotation of the wheel 7 relative to the star 8, which is maintained in its position, and generates the rapid correction of the hour hand Al in steps of one hour.
- the notching is defined by the angular pitch of the star 8 and the elasticity of the jumper 9. Due to the differential 29,30,33,34, the wheel 33 and the minute hand A2 remain stationary.
- the lever 1 is arranged in such a way that its end 1b bears against one of the columns 5b of the column wheel 5 which is different from the one against which it is support pin 26.
- the end 1a of the lever 1 then presses on the heart 3 which corresponds to the display of the second time zone. Since the core 3 is immobilized by the lever 1 and it is secured to the star 8, as has been explained previously (in connection with Figure 4), the star 8 is also immobilized. Nevertheless, thanks to the jumper 9, the wheel 7 can rotate. The rotation of the control rod T thus causes the needle A1 to rotate through the wheel 7 and the differential 29,30,33,34 and thus modifies the second time zone.
- the switching mechanism and the time zone correction or setting mechanism are still in phase and there is no risk of changing the time of a time zone when it is not indicated by 1.
- Al needle Furthermore, the correction or adjustment chain of one or the other of the two time zones can advantageously be kinematically linked to the timer mobile 28, 32.
- a rotation of the rod T causes a dragging time of the hour hand A1 as well as that of the minutes A2, and allows, in fact, the adjustment of one or the other of the two time zones.
- the system according to the invention allows, in a single operation, the selection of the display of one of the two time zones and the selection of the mechanism adapted to correct the displayed time zone. Furthermore, this system does not require an additional mechanism provided for setting the hour and minutes of the hour display device, and does not require an additional adjustment member. Thus, this cooperation of the switching mechanism with that of correction has the advantage of simplifying the design and reducing the number of parts compared with known mechanisms of the state of the art which only allow switching of the display, or the correction of one or the other of the two time zones independently of the time and minute setting mechanism. .
- the first lever 1 still has an elongated shape overall, but the second lever 42 has a return spring portion 42b.
- first lever 1 and the second lever 42 are fixed on different axes.
- the first lever 1 is pivotally mounted on an axis 49, while the second lever 42 is pivotally mounted on an axis 43 fixed to the wheel 7 and comprises a return spring portion 42b which is prestressed by a pin 47.
- the end 42a of the second lever 42 is constantly resting against the heart 4. It is of course quite conceivable to reduce the lever 42 at its end 42a and its pivot axis and to cooperate with a spring.
- the core 4 is secured to a wheel 44 located under the wheel 7 and meshing with a return wheel 45 integral with the star 8, the latter being indexed angularly by the jumper 58 fixed on the frame of the movement.
- the second end 1b located on a foot of the first lever 1 is positioned by a selection member with two positions 5, in this case a column wheel 5.
- the second end 1b is positioned in One of the recesses 5b of the profile of the column wheel 5, under the stress of the spring 46 and due to the pivoting of the lever 1 about the axis 49.
- Pressing the pushbutton P induces the rotation of an angular step of the column wheel 5, which has the consequence of pushing the end 1b of the lever 1 on a column 5b of the profile of the column wheel 5, thus move the end 1a of this lever 1 away from the heart 3 and thereby cancel its action on this core 3.
- This configuration is shown in FIG. 8.
- the first lever 1 has the specificity of controlling, in addition to switching the display 1 hour, the mechanism of correction which is associated with the displayed time zone, role which was filled in the embodiment of Figure 1 mainly by the probe 25.
- control rod T comprises a sliding gear 14 with opposite teeth 14a, 14b as that designated by the number 14 in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 6, it is possible to use instead of this sliding pinion 14 a winding gear rotationally integral with the control rod T independently of the sliding pinion and a sliding pinion having a toothing and a front toothing.
- FIGs 7 to 14 is visible a winding pinion 51 which is mounted square on the rod T.
- the sliding pinion 52 comprises a toothing 52a and a front toothing 52b (this is clearly visible in Figures 7 and 9).
- a latch 53 carries a cam 54 pivotally mounted on an axis 55 fixed to this latch.
- This cam 54 is held in position under the stress of a spring 56. This cooperates with a pin 57 fixed on the cam 54 so as to press the surface 54a of the cam 54 against a flank 53a of the rocker 53.
- the end 1b of the lever 1 is situated between two columns 5b, ie in a recess 5a of the profile of the column wheel. 5.
- One end 50a of the pull tab 50 comes into contact with a second end 54b of the cam 54.
- the flip-flop 53 and the cam 54 pivot about the axis 53 'on which the flip-flop 53 is mounted.
- This has the effect of causing the translation of the sliding pinion 52 by opposing the force of a spring portion 53b of the rocker 53 and to establish the meshing of the front teeth 52b of the sliding pinion 52 with the intermediate wheel 35 of the train system correction or setting the first time zone.
- This correction chain passes through the timer mobile 28,32 which is kinematically linked to the planet wheel 33 of the differential.
- the first lever 1 whose end 1b bears against one of the columns 5b, has an arm 1a.
- the axial position of the sliding pinion 52 differs according to whether the push-button P selects the first or the second time zone, so that the sliding pinion 52 can cause, respectively, the wheel 35 of the first time zone corrector work train chain, by means of its front teeth 52b, or the return wheel 59 of the correction or adjustment system train of the second time zone, by means of its singing toothing 52a.
- Figure 15 is shown a second variant of the time display device 1 according to the invention.
- the essential difference from the first variant is that the hour display device has only one core 3.
- flanks of the first and second levers 1, 42 cooperate with the profile of the single core 3.
- this core 3 may be provided with a thickness greater than that of the core 3 of the other variants.
- the shape of the lever 1 may have been modified.
- an additional gear train is provided intended to cooperate with the toothing 29b of the differential output wheel 29 ( see Figure 5).
- This train is intended to indicate the time of the spindle selected on a 24h cycle by means of an additional needle A3.
- the star 8 which has been seen in the preceding variants that it stores the time difference between the two time zones, is secured to a wheel meshing with a disk D. It is then possible to define the first time zone as being the reference time zone and the second time zone as that of a place in which the wearer of the watch is brought to stay and which settles relative to the first reference time zone.
- the time difference display disk D is kinematically linked to the fast correction star of the second time zone 8 by means of the additional wheel 45 '.
- the disk D is graduated over an amplitude of 24 hours and the notching of the two indicator members A1 and D is defined solely by the angular pitch of the star 8 which cooperates with the return spring 58.
- the indication of the time difference is visible through a window G which is located at 3 o'clock on the dial (FIG 18).
- the disk D is not covered by a mask M.
- This mask M can be attached to the lever 1 or cooperate with the latter, in particular by means of a suitable gear train.
- This lever 1 has a perfectly defined angular position for each of the two time zones because of the cooperation of the end 1b of the lever 1 and the profile 5a, 5b of the column wheel 5.
- the mask M is arranged so not to cover the indication of the disc D appearing within the aperture G when the end 1b of the lever 1 is positioned against one of the columns of the profile 5b of the column wheel 5 (FIG. selecting the display of the second time zone.
- a pressure on the control member P induces the rotation of an angular step of the column wheel 5, which has the consequence of positioning the end 1b of the lever 1 in one of the recesses 5a (FIG. and thus to modify the angular position of the lever 2 and the mask M so as to display the time of the first reference time zone, and to cover the indication of the disc D within the aperture G (FIG 19, 20).
- the mask may carry a visible indication in the window in this position. This indication makes it possible, for example, to identify the first zone.
- a correction by means of the control rod T which is previously positioned in position II, does not affect the angular position of the disk D since the time correction chain passes through the mobile.
- the rotation of the control rod T causes the hour hand A1 and the minute hand A1 to be dragged off independently of the disk D.
- the time shift display disk D which is displayed intermittently, has a similar operation to that of a disk displaying the time difference permanently. It follows that no additional energy is to be expected within the mechanisms of the first and second variants to implement this additional indication. Only a bistable device, controlled by the switching mechanism, is needed in order to unveil the time difference display disk intermittently.
- the watch shown in FIG. 20 indicates that it is 07:50 to the reference time zone UTC 0, in London for example. Pressing the push-button P displays the time of the place in which the wearer is staying while revealing the number of hours that separate this second time zone from the reference timezone. In Figure 21, the watch indicates that it is 11: 50 in Dubai (UTC + 4).
- a two-position selection organ An example of such an organ is a column wheel. It is clear that such a member can occupy more than two positions, including 12 distinct positions for a 6-column wheel, a first set of 6 positions such that the first lever is in a given first position and a second set of 6 positions such as the first lever is in a second position. It is clear that “two-position selection member” covers any selection member capable of positioning the first lever in at least two distinct positions, in particular at least two distinct stable positions.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible to select the correction mechanism of the displayed time zone, in particular the clockwise adjustment or correction of the time zone displayed, by means of the same switching mechanism.
- the adjustment or correction mechanism of one or the other of the two time zones may in particular be a time setting mechanism which is associated with that of the minutes.
