Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two offset axes finding a particular application in a mechanism for setting the time and winding of a timepiece and more particularly to such a mechanism comprising a crown of winding operating a winding and setting time.
  • the present invention relates to such a mechanism whose winding stem and setting time is in two parts of axes located in parallel planes but offset with respect to each other.
  • Such mechanisms of winding and setting time rod stem two offset parts are particularly useful for complicated movements, including modular, because in such movements the winding stem is offset from the median plane of the movement. which is a disadvantage from the practical and especially aesthetic point of view.
  • the incumbent has developed such a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two axes, in particular a winding and setting mechanism comprising a winding rod in two parts of axes located in parallel planes kinematically connected in rotation and in translation but which avoids a reversal of the direction of rotation of the two parts of the winding rod and which facilitates the casing of the movement in the watch case.
  • This mechanism comprises a movable assembly movable axially, the second portion of the rod carrying a second pinion and being arranged to be pivoted on said movable assembly but axially integral with the mobile assembly; the first portion of the rod being arranged to be pivoted on the movable assembly but axially integral therewith is secured to a first pinion; an odd number of pivots rotated on the moving assembly kinematically connecting the first pinion to the second pinion.
  • this mechanism has a disadvantage that is its size because the movable assembly consists of two plates secured together and in parallel planes using rivets. This moving assembly is necessarily thick and requires a large space between the middle of the watch case and movement. Another disadvantage of this construction is that it requires the use of a casing ring.
  • the transmission mechanism according to the invention aims to obviate the disadvantages of existing similar mechanisms.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two parts of an offset shaft having a movable assembly consisting of a preferably planar connecting piece comprising two elements, at least one is elastic forming with the body of this connecting piece two bearings; each of the portions of said rod having an end carrying a pinion and being arranged to be pivoted in one of said two bearings.
  • This mechanism is distinguished by the fact that one or the elastic elements has a locking extension terminated by a hook cooperating with a locking formation of the body of said connecting piece; and in that when the hook is engaged in the locking formation or the two elastic members are locked in the operating position can no longer deviate from the body of the connecting piece.
  • the transmission mechanism equips a timepiece which comprises a bottom 1, a caseband 2 and an ice 3 inside which is mounted a clockwork movement 4 equipped with an additional module 5 located between the movement 4 and a dial 7.
  • the first part 8 of the winding stem, part of the movement 4 is located much lower than the median plane of this timepiece because of the extra thickness due to the module 5.
  • the first part 8 of the stem of winding allows to go up by a conventional wheel barrel movement when this part 8 of the winding stem is in the winding position and to proceed to the time when it is in the position of setting time traditional.
  • the middle part 2 is crossed by a tube 6 whose axis is situated in the median plane of the timepiece in which the second part 9 of the winding stem slides and rotates, the outer end of which has a thread 10 serving to fix the hub 11 of a winding crown.
  • the outer end of the first portion 8 of the winding stem is formed of a first pinion 13 from a workpiece with this first portion 8 of the winding stem. In the immediate vicinity of this first pinion 13 this first portion 8 of the winding stem has a groove 14. This outer end of the first portion 8 of the rod, formed by the first pinion 13, is free and does not cooperate in any way with the middle 2 of the box shows what greatly facilitates device assembly and after-sales service operations.
  • the inner end of the second portion 9 of the winding stem comprises a guide pin 15 and a stop 16 from a workpiece with this second portion of the winding stem.
  • This inner end of this second portion 9 of the winding stem further comprises a second pinion 17 coming from a workpiece with this second portion 9 of the winding stem separated from the abutment 16 by a groove 18.
  • the mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between the two parts 8, 9 of the winding stem further comprises a mobile link assembly consisting of a preferably planar piece 19 having a general shape in an oval.
  • the thickness of this connecting piece 19 corresponds to the width of the grooves 14 and 18 of the first 8 and second 9 parts of the winding stem.
  • This connecting piece 19 comprises a bore 20 receiving the axis of a return 21 pivoted on this connecting piece 19.
  • This connecting piece 19, plane in the illustrated example, comprises a rigid central body 22 and a first element 23 formed by an arm whose end is integral, generally coming from a workpiece, with the rigid central body 22.
  • the free end of this first elastic element comprises a first cylindrical face 24 facing a second cylindrical face 25 carried by the rigid central body 22 of the connecting piece 19.
  • the first 24 and second 25 cylindrical surfaces of this first element or arm 23 constitute a bearing receiving the outer end of the first rod portion 8.
  • This first element or arm 23 may be rigid or elastic for lateral introduction of the first portion 8 of the rod into its bearing 24, 25.
  • this first element or arm 23 When this first element or arm 23 is elastic, it comprises a bearing surface 26 which, as will be seen below, prevents, in the locked position of the connecting piece 19, any separation of this first elastic arm from the rigid central body 22 of the connecting piece 19.
  • the free end of the first elastic arm 23 further comprises a first oblique face 27 facing a second oblique face 28 carried by the rigid central body 22 of the connecting piece 19 and forming with the first oblique face 27 of the first arm elastically an insertion slide of the groove 14 of the first rod portion 8 in its bearing formed by the first and second cylindrical surfaces 24, 25.
  • the bearing of the first portion 8 of the rod may be formed by a bore formed in the rigid body 22 replacing the cylindrical surfaces 24 and 25.
  • the oblique surfaces 27, 28 are removed and the first portion 8 of the rod comprises a first pinion 13 attached, fixed to the end of this first portion 8 of the rod after the inner end of the it has been threaded into said piercing of the rigid body 22.
  • This connecting piece 19 further comprises a second element or elastic arm 30 integral, or integrally, with the rigid central portion 22 of this connecting piece 19 by one of its ends.
  • the free end of this second elastic arm 30 comprises a head 29 having a third cylindrical face 31 facing a fourth cylindrical face 32 carried by the rigid central body 22 of the connecting piece 19 .
  • These third and fourth faces cylindrical 31, 32 form a bearing for the second portion 9 of the rod and fit into the groove 18 of the second portion of rod 9.
  • the second portion 9 of the rod is pivoted on the connecting piece and axially secured of it.
  • the first gear 13 meshes with the gear 21 which itself meshes with the second gear 17 thus kinematically connecting the first shaft portion 8 to the second shaft portion 9; these two rod portions 8, 9 are also secured axially by the connecting piece 19.
  • the second portion 9 of the rod screwed into the hub 11 of winding crown is guided in the tube 6 and its inner end has no need to be guided in the movement 4.
  • the head 29 of the second elastic arm 30 has a third oblique face 33 facing a fourth oblique face 34 carried by the rigid central body 22 of the connecting piece 19.
  • These third and fourth oblique faces 33, 34 form a slide introducing the groove 18 of the second portion 9 of the rod into the bearing formed by the third and fourth cylindrical surfaces 31, 32.
  • the head 29 of the second element or elastic arm 30 is integral with a locking extension 35 surrounding the rigid central body 22 and the first elastic arm 23 to end with a hook 36 cooperating with a locking formation 37 carried by the central body 22 near the root of the first elastic arm 23 is its end connected to the rigid central body 22.
  • the portion of the locking extension 35 located in front of the rigid central body 22 and the free end of the first elastic arm household an empty portion 38 of sufficient size to successively introduce the first and second pinions 13, 17 during their mounting on the connecting piece 19.
  • this first portion 8 of the winding stem is placed perpendicularly to the plane of the connecting piece 19 so that its groove 14 is opposite the first and second oblique faces 27, 28 of the connecting piece and then pushing the first portion 8 of the winding stem towards the bearing formed by the first and second cylindrical surfaces 24, 25 of the connecting piece 19.
  • the resilient support 23 s separates from the body of the connecting piece, allows the first part 8 of the winding stem to penetrate into the bearing formed by the first and second cylindrical surfaces 24, 25. The resilient support 23 resumes its position and maintains the first portion 8 of the winding rod assembled to the connecting piece.
  • the assembly of the first part 8 of the winding stem on the connecting piece 19 is easy and fast, snap-fastening, and allows disassembly just as easy, especially since the free outer end of this first part 8 of the stem does not need to cooperate with the middle of the watch case.
  • the second part 9 of the winding stem can be assembled to the connecting piece 19 by clipping, positioning the groove 18 of this second part 9 of the winding stem between the third and fourth oblique faces 33, 34 and pushes the second part of the winding stem in the bearing formed by the third and fourth cylindrical surfaces 31, 32 which by elastically moving the elastic arm 30 of the connecting piece is coupled thereto by snapping.

  • This connecting piece 19 thus comprises in this embodiment two elastically deformable elements, the arms 23 and 30.
  • the first elastic arm 23 abuts by its bearing surface 26 against the inner slice of the locking extension 35 thus avoiding any elastic displacement of said first elastic arm.
  • the locking extension 35 holds the head 29 of the second elastic arm in the service position.
  • the two resilient arms 23, 30 thus being locked or locked the spacing of the rod portions 8, 9 is fixed and whatever the torque applied by the rotation of the winding crown and transmitted by the pinions 13, 17 and the return 21 the transmission of the rotation is executed and can not cause the disengagement of said gears and return.
  • the first part 8 of the rod can be extracted laterally from the movement and separated from the connecting piece 19.
  • first 8 and second 9 parts of the winding stem are each in one piece however in variants the first 13 and second 17 gears could be reported on their respective rod portion.
  • the connecting piece 19 is made of spring steel but another material could be used as long as it allows the coupling of this connecting piece 19 by snapping to the first 8 and second 9 parts of the winding stem.
  • this mechanism has significant advantages because its overall dimensions, particularly in the direction perpendicular to the axes of the parts 8, 9 of the winding stem, is very small because the connecting piece is not very thick. In addition, its construction and assembly are easy and the two parts of the winding stem rotate in the same direction and allow to transmit a high torque.
  • Such a mechanism for transmitting axial and rotary movements between two axes located in two parallel planes can be applied in timepieces having a movement alone or with one or more mechanisms additional for either winding and time setting, or for activating a calendar or alarm function.
  • this reference 21 could be constituted by a ring gear internally meshing with the gears of the first and second winding stem portion pivoted on the connecting piece.
  • the mechanism described can also be used in non-horological applications wherever it is necessary to transmit between two axes, located in parallel planes, axial and rotary movements and high torques.
  • the transmission mechanism does not have a gear 21, the first gear 13 meshes directly with the second gear 17.
  • references 21 there could be several references 21 forming a kinematic chain connecting the first pinion 13 to the second pinion 17, all these references 21 being pivoted on the single connecting piece 19.
  • the connecting piece 19 is preferably flat and made in a single piece of manufacture.
  • this transmission mechanism consists in the configuration of the locking extension 35 which, when the hook 36 is engaged with the locking formation 37, prevents any elastic deformation of the first and second resilient arms 23 , 30 under the effect of a thrust exerted by the parts of rods 8, 9.
  • the arms As the elastic members 23, 30 are thus locked, the spacing between the rod portions 8, 9 is set so that the bearings 24, 25 and 31, 32 function as fixed bearings.
  • this arm does not necessarily have a bearing surface 26.
  • extension 35 can be fixed on the end of the first arm 23, rigid or elastic and come to surround the rigid body 22 and the second elastic arm 30 to come to hook on a locking formation secured to the rigid body 22 to near the root of the second arm 30.
  • the second elastic arm 30 would include the bearing surface 26 to prevent any elastic displacement thereof once the extension 35 locked on the rigid body 22.
