Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control mechanism for a watch movement, comprising, in a housing of a plate that includes said mechanism, a control rod movable in a longitudinal direction, said rod having a groove cooperating with a stud that includes a puller for pivoting operation on said platen of said pull tab, which is held in position by a jumper, and said mechanism having a bridge cooperating with said platen to enclose said rod.
  • the invention also relates to a winding and setting mechanism comprising such a control mechanism.
  • the invention also relates to a watch movement comprising at least one control mechanism and / or such a winding and setting mechanism.
  • the invention also relates to a watch comprising at least one such control mechanism and / or such a winding mechanism and setting time and / or such a watch movement.
  • the invention relates to the field of clock control mechanisms, in particular for watches.
  • the rod When reassembling the watch, the rod is reintroduced by pressing again on this stud zipper. However, the pull tab race is generally not blocked and it is common that the rod mechanism members are out of their housing. In this case, disengage the movement and disassemble it so that the rod mechanism can be properly raised.
  • the pull tab is generally close to the winding pinion, and there is therefore a risk of damaging the teeth with the tool used during the extraction of the rod.
  • the input of the tool can be realized by an oblong hole or a groove, which requires a precise orientation of the tool, usually a screwdriver. If an improper tool is used, the shape hole is of no use. In addition, its shape complicates and increases the manufacture of the plate or the bridge concerned, which would be simpler if a cylindrical hole was made.
  • the document CH 134 409 A in the name of SUTER & CIE UHRENFABRIK HAFIS describes a winding mechanism and time setting by zipper, where the pivot of the zipper is formed by a pin movable along its axis in the frame of the movement, and arranged in such a way that it is accessible from the rear face of the latter, and that it can be actuated as a push to push it with the zipper it carries, against a return spring tending to ensure assembly the zipper and the winding stem with each other.
  • the document CH 132 961 A in the name of MAMBRETTI MANLIO describes a fastening device of the time setting zipper, which has a cylindrical post whose one end is screwed into the pull tab, and the other forms a head that exceeds a few hundredths the barrel bridge to allow to exit the winding stem by simply pressing on this head, tenon and zipper being held in place by means of a spring plate, fixed on the plate and pressing the pull tab.
  • the invention proposes to develop a control mechanism rod, manufacturing, assembly, and disassembly economic, with a possibility of easy extraction of the rod, without risk of damage to neighboring components, including teeth.
  • the invention proposes a control mechanism with a limitation of the travel of the pull tab, by a stroke limiter which offers a simple alternative (manufacture and assembly) to the current systems and, moreover, allows a transformation of an existing rod mechanism without much modification.
  • the invention relates to three alternative configurations for a control mechanism for a watch movement, these alternatives being defined in the independent claims 1, 2 and 7.
  • the invention defines a control mechanism for a watch movement, comprising, in a housing of a plate that includes said mechanism, a control rod movable in a longitudinal direction, said rod having a groove cooperating with a stud that includes a pull tab for pivoting operation on said platen of said pull tab, which is held in position by a jumper, and said mechanism comprising a bridge cooperating with said platen to enclose said rod.
  • control mechanism comprises a means for limiting the stroke of said stud of said pull tab, this limiting means comprising a limiting piston
  • said bridge comprises a housing in which is mobile said limiter piston, arranged to bear on one end of a trunnion that includes said puller under the application of a force in a transverse direction substantially orthogonal to said longitudinal direction, to allow the release of said rod after a race given said limiting piston.
  • said control mechanism further comprises a limiting bridge fixed or supported said bridge to immobilize a captive head of said limiter piston, said head limiting said stroke of said limiter piston.
  • said housing comprises a tapping arranged to cooperate with a thread that comprises on at least a portion of its height in said transverse direction said limiter piston, which comprises a limiting head of said travel stroke relative to said bridge.
  • the housing comprises a tapping arranged to cooperate with a thread which comprises on at least a portion of its height in said transverse direction said limiter piston, which comprises a limiting head of its travel stroke relative to said bridge.
  • the invention also relates to a winding and setting mechanism comprising such a control mechanism.
  • the invention also relates to a watch movement comprising at least one control mechanism and / or such a winding and setting mechanism.
  • the invention also relates to a watch comprising at least one such control mechanism and / or such a winding mechanism and setting time and / or such a watch movement.
  • the invention relates to the field of clock control mechanisms, in particular for watches.
  • the invention relates to a control mechanism 100 for a watch movement.
  • This control mechanism 100 comprises a plate 1 with a housing for receiving a control rod 10 movable in a longitudinal direction D.
  • this rod 10 is movable in translation in this direction D, and in rotation around this same axis.
  • This rod 10 comprises a groove 11, which cooperates with a stud 20 which comprises a pull tab 2 for pivoting operation, on the plate 1 of this pull tab 2.
  • the pull tab 2 pivots, in a conventional manner, around a transverse axis T direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rod 10, and is held in position by a jumper 3, which cooperates with a pin 38 of the zipper 2, as visible on the figure 6 .
  • the pull tab 2 comprises a pin 29, which is housed in a bore of the plate 1, to ensure its pivoting.
  • the mechanism 100 further comprises a bridge 5, for example a barrel bridge, which cooperates with the plate 1 for enclosing the rod 10.
  • This bridge 5 comprises a housing 54, which receives the end of the pin 29 when the rod 10 and the pull tab 2 are in the service position.
  • the control mechanism 100 comprises a limiter piston 6, which is movable in this housing 54.
  • This limiter piston 6 is arranged to bear, by an end 65 which it comprises, on an end 21 of the trunnion. 29 under the application of a force in the transverse direction T, to allow the release of the rod 10 after a given stroke C of the limiter piston 6.
  • the mechanism 100 comprises a limiting bridge 7 fixed or supported on the bridge 5, to immobilize captive a head 61 of the limiter piston 6 within the limit of this stroke C.
  • This limiting bridge 7 can be fixed on the plate 1, or on a other bridge, and only support the bridge 5.
  • this limiting bridge 7 comprises an orifice 71 allowing the passage of a tool to apply a force in the transverse direction T on the limiting piston 6.
  • the limiter piston 6 comprises, recessed from its head 61, a narrowed portion 64 which is its smallest diameter; this narrowed portion 64 is cylindrical in the particular example of the first variant of the figure 1 , and is movable in the housing 54 of the bridge 5.
  • the limiting piston 6 is a spacer piece of very simple geometry and low production cost, which is inserted into the extraction hole of the rod. During the movement of the movement, it is therefore exerted on this limiting piston. Because of its geometry, it is not possible to move it beyond its support zone. The stroke is therefore limited by the head 61 of the limiter piston 6.
  • Another advantage is that the point of contact between the limiter piston 6 and the tool used is very far from the different teeth of the winding, including the winding pinion 4 in the case of a winding mechanism and setting time. There is no risk of injury, even with an inappropriate tool. Therefore, the conventional form of the bridge hole for orienting the tool, in order to avoid this risk, is no longer necessary, and can be replaced by a simple machining revolution, which simplifies the manufacture of the bridge .
  • the housing 54 comprises a tapping 52 arranged to cooperate with a thread 62 that comprises on at least a portion of its height, in the transverse direction T, the limiter piston 6, which comprises a head 61 for limiting its stroke C of travel compared to the bridge 5.
  • this threading 62 and this tapping 52 are limited to an insertion stroke of the limiting piston 6, at a distance from the pin 29, after which the insertion stroke the limiting piston 6 is pivotally free to come into contact with the pin 29
  • the narrowed portion 64 is located between the head 61 and the thread 62, and it slides freely in the tapping 52 of the bridge 5.
  • the slot 66 which preferably comprises the limiter piston 6 is not visible on the bridge side: thus, in a variant of reverse realization with respect to this second alternative, and as visible on the figure 3 , the head 61 comprises flange 69, which is trapped between the tapping 52 and the plate 1.
  • the tapped area serves to facilitate assembly, avoiding the limiter piston 6 does not fall when mounting the bridge 5.
  • the narrowed portion 64 is located between the head 61 and the thread 62, and it slides freely in the tapping 52 of the bridge 5.
  • Another variant, without tapping can be made, in inverse configuration of the first variant of the figure 1 .
  • a limiting piston comprising an elastic part, in particular split: the limiting piston 6 comprises at least one slot 67, deforms when it is introduced into the extraction hole, and then remains a prisoner in its housing when it resumes its original geometry. Depending on the geometry of this part, it can be rendered indémontable or not, depending on the range of the caliber in which it is used.
  • the limiting piston 6 is, at least in part, elastic, and the housing 54 has a shoulder 53 arranged to immobilize, after its introduction into the housing 54 by compression at least one elastic zone 63 of the limiting piston 6, this elastic zone 63 returned to the free state between this shoulder 53 and the plate 1.
  • Another variant, not shown, consists in introducing the limiting piston 6 in the other sense, with the elastic part away from the zipper trunnion.
  • the trunnion 29, like the stud 20, which preferably extend in parallel directions, are movable in the transverse direction T.
  • the jumper 3 allows a transverse stroke of the zipper 20 relative to the direction longitudinal D under the application of a force in the transverse direction T by the limiter piston 6 to allow removal or insertion of the rod 10.
  • the invention also relates to a winding and setting mechanism 200 comprising such a control mechanism 100.
  • the invention also relates to a watch movement 300 comprising at least one such control mechanism 100 and / or such a winding and setting mechanism 200.
  • the invention also relates to a watch 400 comprising at least one such control mechanism 100 and / or such a winding and setting mechanism 200 and / or such a watch movement 300.
