L'autre extrémité 100 de l'actionneur 10 peut par exemple coopérer avec un bouton poussoir actionné par l'utilisateur.The figure 1b illustrates an exploded view in perspective of a part of a watch movement 1 equipped with a selection member further comprising an actuator 10, one end of which comprises an actuating finger 101 for selecting a function. The other end 100 of the actuator 10 may for example cooperate with a push button actuated by the user.

L'actionneur 10 est monté coulissant sur un élément de bâti du mouvement pour permettre au doigt 101 de se déplacer selon une direction longitudinale, et est configuré pour coopérer avec des moyens de rappel élastiques, non représentés sur les figures, de manière à le maintenir en position de repos.The actuator 10 is slidably mounted on a frame member of the movement to allow the finger 101 to move in a direction longitudinal, and is configured to cooperate with elastic return means, not shown in the figures, so as to maintain it in the rest position.

Le doigt d'actionnement 101 est prévu pour coopérer avec une came 20 montée pivotante sur un élément de bâti du mouvement horloger 1 entre au moins deux positions, par un axe de rotation situé au centre de la came 20, l'une des positions étant associée à la fonction chronographe et l'autre à la fonction compte-à-rebours.The actuating finger 101 is provided to cooperate with a cam 20 pivotally mounted on a frame member of the watch movement 1 between at least two positions, by an axis of rotation located in the center of the cam 20, one of the positions being associated with the chronograph function and the other with the countdown function.

Comme on peut l'observer sur les figures 1a et 1b, la came 20 comprend au moins une première navette, dite navette inférieure 21, une deuxième navette, dite navette supérieure 22, et un rochet 23, disposés autour d'un même axe de pivotement. Telles qu'illustrées sur les figures, les navettes inférieure 21 et supérieure 22 présentent respectivement un bec 210 et un bec 220 à chacune de leurs extrémités, les becs étant disposés symétriquement par rapport au centre de rotation de la came 20.As can be seen on the figures 1a and 1b the cam 20 comprises at least a first shuttle, called lower shuttle 21, a second shuttle, called upper shuttle 22, and a ratchet 23, arranged around the same pivot axis. As illustrated in the figures, the lower 21 and upper 22 shuttles respectively have a spout 210 and a spout 220 at each of their ends, the spouts being arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of rotation of the cam 20.

L'organe de sélection comprend également une bascule, dite première bascule 30. La première bascule 30 est constituée par une plaque inférieure 31 et une plaque supérieure 32 entre lesquelles sont agencés un premier rouage formé par un premier axe 33 recevant une roue dentée 330 et un pignon 331 et un deuxième rouage formé par un second axe 34 recevant roue dentée 340, un pignon supérieur 341 et un pignon inférieur 342.The selection member also comprises a flip-flop, said first flip-flop 30. The first flip-flop 30 is constituted by a lower plate 31 and an upper plate 32 between which are arranged a first wheel formed by a first axis 33 receiving a gear wheel 330 and a pinion 331 and a second wheel formed by a second pin 34 receiving toothed wheel 340, an upper pinion 341 and a lower pinion 342.

La plaque supérieure 32 et la plaque inférieure 31 sont assemblées entre elles pour former la première bascule 30, plaque supérieure 32 présentant un pivot supérieur 320 configuré pour se loger dans l'orifice d'un pont non représenté sur les figures et la plaque inférieure 31 présentant un orifice 311 configuré pour recevoir un pivot d'un autre pont. Avantageusement, le pivot supérieur 320 et l'orifice 311 sont aligné sur un même axe de manière à former l'axe de rotation de la première bascule 30.The upper plate 32 and the lower plate 31 are assembled together to form the first flip-flop 30, upper plate 32 having an upper pivot 320 configured to be housed in the orifice of a bridge not shown in the figures and the lower plate 31 having an orifice 311 configured to receive a pivot of another bridge. Advantageously, the upper pivot 320 and the orifice 311 are aligned on the same axis so as to form the axis of rotation of the first latch 30.

Le premier rouage et le deuxième rouage sont configurés pour coopérer avec la roue entraineuse de chronographe 2 lorsque l'organe de sélection est déplacé entre les première et seconde positions correspondant aux première et deuxième liaisons cinématiques.The first wheel and the second wheel are configured to cooperate with the chronograph driving wheel 2 when the selection member is moved between the first and second positions corresponding to the first and second kinematic links.

Ainsi, lorsque l'organe de sélection est en première position comme illustré aux figures 2a et 2b, le pignon supérieur 341 est en prise avec la roue entraineuse 2 et est relié cinématiquement au mobile de chronographe 3 par le biais du pignon inférieur 342 se trouvant sur le même axe 34.Thus, when the selection member is in the first position as illustrated in Figures 2a and 2b , the upper pinion 341 is engaged with the driving wheel 2 and is kinematically connected to the chronograph mobile 3 by means of the lower pinion 342 located on the same axis 34.

Et lorsque l'organe de sélection est en deuxième position comme illustré aux figures 3a et 3b, la roue 330 du deuxième rouage est en prise avec la roue entraineuse 2 et est reliée cinématiquement au mobile de chronographe 3 par le biais du pignon 331 qui engraine une roue intermédiaire 430 engrainant elle-même la roue 340 du deuxième rouage en lien avec le pignon inférieur 342 qui entraine le mobile de chronographe 3.And when the selection organ is in second position as illustrated in figures 3a and 3b , the wheel 330 of the second wheel is engaged with the driving wheel 2 and is kinematically connected to the chronograph mobile 3 through the pinion 331 which engrains an intermediate wheel 430 engraining itself the wheel 340 of the second gear in connection with the lower gear 342 which drives the chronograph mobile 3.

Selon l'invention, le premier rouage et/ou le deuxième rouage peuvent être des rouages démultiplicateurs et/ou inverseurs selon les fonctions que l'on souhaite mettre en oeuvre au sein de la montre. Ces fonctions peuvent être, par exemple, une fonction chronographe, une fonction compte à rebours, ou encore une fonction chronographe ayant une vitesse moindre.According to the invention, the first wheel and / or the second wheel can be gear reducers and / or inverters depending on the functions that it is desired to implement within the watch. These functions can be, for example, a chronograph function, a countdown function, or a chronograph function with a lower speed.

Comme on peut l'observer sur les figures 1 et 2a, la plaque inférieure 31 de la première bascule 30 présente une surface d'engagement configurée pour coopérer avec la came 20. Plus précisément, les becs 210 de la navette inférieure 21 sont configurés pour coopérer avec le secteur d'engagement 310 de la plaque inférieure 31 de manière à déplacer en rotation la première bascule 30.As can be seen on the figures 1 and 2a , the lower plate 31 of the first rocker 30 has an engagement surface configured to cooperate with the cam 20. More specifically, the nozzles 210 of the lower shuttle 21 are configured to cooperate with the engagement sector 310 of the lower plate 31 to move in rotation the first latch 30.

Ainsi, pour basculer du premier mode de fonctionnement au deuxième mode de fonctionnement, le porteur presse un bouton poussoir, non représenté sur les figures, en lien avec l'actionneur 10 de manière à ce que le doigt d'actionnement 101 actionne en rotation le rochet 23, ainsi que la navette inférieure 21 qui vient alors en appui contre le secteur d'engagement 310. Cela a pour effet de faire pivoter la première bascule 30, de désengager le pignon supérieur 341 de la roue entraineuse de chronographe 2 et d'engager simultanément la roue 330 avec la roue entraineuse de chronographe 2.Thus, to switch from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation, the carrier presses a push button, not shown in the figures, in connection with the actuator 10 so that that the actuating finger 101 rotates the ratchet 23, and the lower shuttle 21 which then bears against the engagement sector 310. This has the effect of pivoting the first latch 30, to disengage the upper gear 341 of the chronograph driving wheel 2 and simultaneously engage the wheel 330 with the chronograph driving wheel 2.

Une lame ressort 11 est prévue pour retenir le rochet 23 et le faire avancer pas à pas lorsqu'il est actionné en rotation par l'actionneur 10.A spring blade 11 is provided to hold the ratchet 23 and to advance it stepwise when it is actuated in rotation by the actuator 10.

De même, l'organe de sélection comprend une seconde lame ressort 12 configurée pour définir une position par défaut de la première bascule 30, en exerçant sur elle une force pour la placer dans la position associée à la première fonction, la fonction chronographe par exemple.Similarly, the selection member comprises a second spring blade 12 configured to define a default position of the first latch 30, exerting on it a force to place it in the position associated with the first function, the chronograph function for example .

Selon l'invention, l'organe de sélection peut être placé dans une troisième position qui est associée à une troisième fonction, et correspondant à l'établissement d'une troisième liaison cinématique entre la roue entraineuse de chronographe 2 et le mobile de chronographe 3.According to the invention, the selection member may be placed in a third position which is associated with a third function, and corresponding to the establishment of a third kinematic link between the chronograph driving wheel 2 and the chronograph mobile 3 .

L'organe de sélection comprend une seconde bascule 40 permettant de sélectionner la troisième fonction, et d'établir la troisième liaison cinématique observable à la figure 4b.The selection member comprises a second flip-flop 40 making it possible to select the third function, and to establish the third observable kinematic link at the figure 4b .

Selon un aspect particulièrement avantageux de l'invention, la seconde bascule 40 est montée pivotante sur la première bascule 30.According to a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, the second flip-flop 40 is pivotally mounted on the first flip-flop 30.

Comme on peut l'observer sur la figure 1b, la seconde bascule 40 comprend une plaque inférieure 41 montée pivotante sur la plaque inférieure 31 de la première bascule 30, et une plaque supérieure 42 montée pivotante sur la plaque supérieure 32 de la première bascule 30.As can be seen on the figure 1b , the second flip-flop 40 comprises a lower plate 41 pivotally mounted on the lower plate 31 of the first flip-flop 30, and an upper plate 42 pivotally mounted on the upper plate 32 of the first flip-flop 30.

La plaque inférieure 41 présente un orifice 410 configurée pour recevoir un pivot de la plaque inférieure 31 de la première bascule 30, et la plaque supérieure 42 présente un pivot supérieur 420 configuré pour se loger dans un trou 321 de la plaque supérieure 32 de la première bascule 30. Ainsi, le pivot supérieur 420 et l'orifice 410 définissent l'axe de rotation de la seconde bascule 40 par rapport à la première bascule 30.The lower plate 41 has an orifice 410 configured to receive a pivot of the lower plate 31 of the first latch 30, and the upper plate 42 has an upper pivot 420 configured to fit in a hole 321 of the upper plate 32 of the first Thus, the upper pivot 420 and the orifice 410 define the axis of rotation of the second latch 40 relative to the first latch 30.

La plaque supérieure 42 est assemblée sur la plaque inférieure 41 au moyen d'un élément d'assemblage 46 solidaire de la plaque inférieure 41. Cet élément d'assemblage 46 comprend deux pions 460 configurés pour se loger dans deux ouvertures 421 correspondantes sur la plaque supérieure 42.The upper plate 42 is assembled on the lower plate 41 by means of an assembly element 46 integral with the lower plate 41. This assembly element 46 comprises two pins 460 configured to be housed in two corresponding openings 421 on the plate superior 42.

La seconde bascule 40 reçoit la roue intermédiaire 430 et le pignon intermédiaire 431, ainsi qu'une autre roue 440, respectivement montés entre la plaque supérieure 42 et la plaque inférieure 41 par le biais d'un axe 43 et d'un autre axe 44.The second flip-flop 40 receives the intermediate wheel 430 and the intermediate gear 431, as well as another wheel 440, respectively mounted between the upper plate 42 and the lower plate 41 via an axis 43 and another axis 44. .

Comme on peut l'observer à la figure 1b, la plaque inférieure 41 de la seconde bascule 40 présente un secteur denté 45 configuré pour coopérer avec un basculeur 50 articulé en rotation par le biais d'un axe 51 sur la plaque inférieure 31 de la première bascule 30.As can be seen at figure 1b , the lower plate 41 of the second latch 40 has a toothed sector 45 configured to cooperate with a rocker 50 rotatably articulated through an axis 51 on the lower plate 31 of the first latch 30.

Le basculeur 50 présente également un secteur denté 52 configuré pour coopérer avec le secteur denté 45 de la seconde bascule 40. Le basculeur 50 comprend également un ressort de rappel 53 exerçant une force de rappel le ramenant dans sa position initiale lorsque l'organe de sélection est placé en première ou deuxième position.The rocker 50 also has a toothed sector 52 configured to cooperate with the toothed sector 45 of the second rocker 40. The rocker 50 also comprises a return spring 53 exerting a return force returning it to its initial position when the selection member is placed in first or second position.

Comme on peut l'observer aux figures 1a et 1b, le basculeur 50 présente une surface d'engagement 54 configurée pour coopérer avec la came, les becs 220 de la navette supérieure 22 étant configurés pour coopérer avec la surface d'engagement 54 du basculeur 50.As can be seen in figures 1a and 1b , the rocker 50 has an engagement surface 54 configured to cooperate with the cam, the nozzles 220 of the upper shuttle 22 being configured to cooperate with the engagement surface 54 of the rocker 50.

Ainsi, pour basculer dans le troisième mode de fonctionnement illustré aux figures 4a et 4b, le porteur presse un bouton poussoir, non représenté sur les figures, en lien avec l'actionneur 10 de manière à ce que le doigt d'actionnement 101 actionne en rotation le rochet 23 et la navette supérieure 22, jusqu'à ce que la navette supérieure 22 vienne en appui contre la surface d'engagement 310 et exerce une force sur l'actionneur 50.Thus, to switch to the third mode of operation illustrated in Figures 4a and 4b , the wearer presses a push button, not shown in the figures, in connection with the actuator 10 so that the actuating finger 101 rotates the ratchet 23 and the shuttle 22 upper, until the upper shuttle 22 bears against the engagement surface 310 and exerts a force on the actuator 50.

L'actionneur 50 entraine alors en rotation la seconde bascule 40 par le biais des secteurs dentés 45 et 52 de manière que le pignon intermédiaire 431 engraine d'une part la roue 330, et d'autre part la roue 440 qui engraine la roue 340 en lien avec le mobile de chronographe 3.The actuator 50 then rotates the second latch 40 through the toothed sectors 45 and 52 so that the intermediate gear 431 engages on the one hand the wheel 330, and on the other hand the wheel 440 which engages the wheel 340 in connection with the chronograph mobile 3.
