L'indication de réserve de marche d'une montre mécanique, alimentée en énergie par un ou plusieurs barillets, est une complication utile pour l'utilisateur.The power reserve indication of a mechanical watch, powered by one or more barrels, is a useful complication for the user.

Elle est néanmoins peu courante, car elle nécessite souvent une modification conséquente du mouvement de base, et cette complication consomme beaucoup d'espace, tant en volume qu'en épaisseur. Elle est donc souvent réservée à des mouvements logés dans des boîtes assez spacieuses, et sa généralisation est difficile.It is nevertheless uncommon, because it often requires a substantial modification of the basic movement, and this complication consumes a lot of space, both in volume and thickness. It is therefore often reserved for movements housed in fairly spacious boxes, and its generalization is difficult.

Les demandes de brevet du même déposant, CH01102/14 et EP14177775.5 , décrivent un indicateur de réserve de marche d'horlogerie pour l'affichage de l'indication de réserve de marche d'une pluralité d'accumulateurs d'énergie comportant chacun un indicateur coopérant avec une entrée d'un mécanisme différentiel que comporte cet indicateur de réserve de marche, et dont une sortie de ce mécanisme différentiel coopère avec un mécanisme d'affichage de la réserve de marche totale de la pluralité d'accumulateurs d'énergie, dont au moins deux des entrées sont coaxiales.Patent applications of the same applicant, CH01102 / 14 and EP14177775.5 , describe a power-reserve indicator for displaying the power-reserve indication of a plurality of energy accumulators each comprising an indicator cooperating with an input of a differential mechanism that this indicator comprises. power reserve, and an output of this differential mechanism cooperates with a display mechanism of the total power reserve of the plurality of energy accumulators, at least two of the inputs are coaxial.

Plus particulièrement, dans cet art antérieur, le différentiel comporte un moyeu entraînant un disque porteur, lequel porte des billes en contact à la fois avec un premier plateau d'entrée et un deuxième plateau d'entrée, lesquels sont montés fous sur ce moyeu, sous l'action d'une friction imposée par un ou plusieurs ressorts. Le moyeu est encore solidaire d'une sortie sous la forme d'une roue qui engrène avec une planche de renvoi que comporte un mobile d'entrée, pivotant autour d'un autre quatrième axe de pivotement, cette planche étant coaxiale et solidaire en pivotement d'un pignon qui attaque une planche d'entrée d'un mécanisme d'affichage de réserve de marche, coaxiale et solidaire en pivotement d'un arbre agencé pour porter un élément d'affichage tel qu'aiguille, disque, ou similaire.More particularly, in this prior art, the differential comprises a hub driving a carrier disc, which carries balls in contact with both a first input tray and a second input tray, which are mounted idle on this hub, under the action of friction imposed by one or more springs. The hub is still secured to an outlet in the form of a wheel which meshes with a return plate that comprises an input mobile, pivoting about another fourth pivot axis, this board being coaxial and pivotally integral. of a pinion that attacks an entry board of a power reserve display mechanism, coaxial and integral in pivoting of a shaft arranged to carry a display element such as needle, disk, or the like.

L'invention décrite ci-après concerne différents objets selon une démarche inventive commune: un moteur comportant un barillet, un mécanisme additionnel conçu pour la transformation à moindres frais d'un tel moteur pour lui ajouter la fonction d'affichage de réserve de marche, ou encore un mécanisme autonome de réserve de marche comportant un tel moteur.The invention described below relates to different objects according to a common inventive step: an engine comprising a barrel, an additional mechanism designed for the cheaper conversion of such an engine to add the power reserve display function, or an autonomous power reserve mechanism comprising such an engine.

L'invention n'est décrite que dans le cas simple d'un moteur à un seul barillet, l'homme du métier saura l'extrapoler, notamment avec les documents cités ci-dessus, pour une pièce d'horlogerie comportant plusieurs barillets.The invention is described only in the simple case of a single cylinder engine, the skilled person will extrapolate, especially with the documents cited above, for a timepiece with several barrels.

Dans une première variante, l'invention concerne un moteur 10 d'horlogerie comportant un barillet. Ce barillet est de type classique, pivotant autour d'un arbre 11, enfermant un ressort monté entre le barillet et l'arbre 11, lequel porte solidaire en pivotement un rochet 21 d'entraînement de l'arbre.In a first variant, the invention relates to a clockwork motor comprising a barrel. This barrel is of conventional type, pivoting about a shaft 11, enclosing a spring mounted between the barrel and the shaft 11, which carries pivotally a ratchet 21 for driving the shaft.

Le moteur 10 comporte un différentiel 20, coaxial au barillet selon l'axe D de pivotement du barillet qui est aussi l'axe de l'arbre 11, et dont une première entrée est entraînée indirectement par le rochet 21, et dont une deuxième entrée est le barillet. La sortie de ce différentiel 20 est une roue de sortie 23 pivotante, coaxiale à l'arbre 11, qui est agencée, ou bien pour constituer un indicateur de réserve de marche, ou bien pour entraîner un mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 50, notamment et non limitativement par l'intermédiaire d'un rouage 51 ou similaire.The engine 10 comprises a differential 20, coaxial with the barrel along the axis D of pivoting of the barrel which is also the axis of the shaft 11, and a first input is driven indirectly by the ratchet 21, and a second input is the barrel. The output of this differential 20 is a pivoting output wheel 23, coaxial with the shaft 11, which is arranged, or to constitute a power reserve indicator, or to drive a power reserve indicator mechanism 50, in particular and not limited to a gear train 51 or the like.

Et, dans une réalisation préférée, car très économique, illustrée sur les figures, ce différentiel 20 comporte des billes 25, qui coopèrent avec une surface supérieure 13 du barillet et avec une surface inférieure 26 d'une planche de différentiel 22. Cette planche de différentiel 22 est agencée pour pivoter sur l'arbre 11, est coaxiale avec lui, et est reliée au rochet 21 par un moyen de friction 24, et qui constitue la première entrée. Ces billes 25 entraînent dans leur rotation des logements que comporte la roue de sortie 23 formant panier. Cette surface inférieure 26 est disposée du côté de la surface supérieure du barillet.And, in a preferred embodiment, because very economical, illustrated in the figures, this differential 20 comprises balls 25, which cooperate with an upper surface 13 of the barrel and with a lower surface 26 of a differential board 22. This board of differential 22 is arranged to pivot on the shaft 11, is coaxial with it, and is connected to the ratchet 21 by a friction means 24, and which constitutes the first input. These balls 25 cause in their rotation of the housing that includes the output wheel 23 basket. This lower surface 26 is disposed on the side of the upper surface of the barrel.

Plus particulièrement, le barillet est classiquement constitué d'un tambour 14 muni d'une denture et d'un couvercle 12 enfermant ensemble le ressort. Selon la configuration de l'ensemble barillet, le rochet 21 fait face au couvercle 12 tel que visible sur les figures, ou respectivement au tambour 14.More particularly, the barrel conventionally consists of a drum 14 provided with a toothing and a lid 12 enclosing the spring together. according to the configuration of the barrel assembly, the ratchet 21 faces the lid 12 as visible in the figures, or respectively to the drum 14.

La première entrée pour l'armage est entraînée indirectement par le rochet 21 et la deuxième entrée pour le désarmage est constituée par le couvercle 12, ou respectivement par le tambour 14. Et les billes 25 coopèrent, d'une part avec une surface supérieure 13 du couvercle 12, ou respectivement du tambour 14, et d'autre part avec la surface inférieure 26 de la planche de différentiel 22.The first entry for the arming is driven indirectly by the ratchet 21 and the second entry for disarming is constituted by the cover 12, or respectively by the drum 14. And the balls 25 cooperate, on the one hand with an upper surface 13 of the cover 12, or respectively of the drum 14, and secondly with the lower surface 26 of the differential board 22.

Plus particulièrement, le moyen de friction 24 est un ressort disposé entre le rochet 21 et la roue de différentiel 22.More particularly, the friction means 24 is a spring disposed between the ratchet 21 and the differential wheel 22.

Dans une deuxième variante, l'invention concerne un mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 100 pour l'affichage de la réserve de marche d'un moteur 10 d'horlogerie comportant un barillet constitué d'un tambour 14 muni d'une denture et d'un couvercle 12 enfermant ensemble un ressort monté entre d'une part le barillet et d'autre part un arbre de barillet 11 autour duquel pivote le barillet, l'arbre de barillet 11 étant porteur et solidaire en pivotement d'un rochet de transmission 21 extérieur au barillet et faisant face au couvercle 12, ou respectivement au tambour 14. Il s'agit d'un mécanisme additionnel, qu'il suffit de rajouter à un ensemble barillet existant s'il est prédisposé (par un usinage adéquat de l'arbre de barillet 11), ou d'ajouter à un ensemble barillet existant dont on a au préalable remplacé l'arbre de barillet 11 par un arbre adapté pour recevoir ce mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 100.In a second variant, the invention relates to a power reserve indicator mechanism 100 for displaying the power reserve of a clockwork motor comprising a barrel consisting of a drum 14 provided with a toothing and a a cover 12 enclosing together a spring mounted between on the one hand the barrel and on the other hand a barrel shaft 11 around which the barrel rotates, the barrel shaft 11 being load-bearing and pivotally integral with a transmission ratchet 21 outside the barrel and facing the lid 12, or drum 14. This is an additional mechanism, it is sufficient to add to an existing barrel assembly if it is predisposed (by adequate machining of the barrel). barrel shaft 11), or to add to an existing barrel assembly which has previously been replaced the barrel shaft 11 by a shaft adapted to receive this power reserve indicator mechanism 100.

Ce mécanisme 100 comporte alors un nombre très réduit de composants, chacun de coût unitaire faible. Le mécanisme 100 comporte un mécanisme différentiel 20 à billes, lequel est coaxial au barillet, et comporte un sous-ensemble qui est agencé pour être intercalé de façon axiale entre un couvercle 12, ou respectivement un tambour 14, et un rochet 21. Ce sous-ensemble comporte :

  • une planche de différentiel 22, qui est agencée pour pivoter coaxialement à l'arbre 11, cette planche de différentiel 22 étant disposée entre :
  • d'un côté supérieur, un moyen d'entraînement par friction 24 agencé pour un entraînement relatif entre la planche de différentiel 22 et un rochet 21,
et, d'un côté inférieur,
  • une roue de sortie 23 qui est agencée pour pivoter coaxialement à l'arbre 11, et qui constitue un panier de maintien de billes 25 que comporte encore le sous-ensemble,
  • ces billes 25 étant agencées pour rouler entre une surface inférieure 26 de la planche de différentiel 22 et une surface supérieure 13 d'un couvercle 12, ou respectivement d'un tambour 14,
et où la roue de sortie 23 est agencée pour constituer ou entraîner un indicateur de réserve de marche 51 d'un moteur 10.This mechanism 100 then comprises a very small number of components, each of low unit cost. The mechanism 100 comprises a differential ball mechanism 20, which is coaxial with the barrel, and comprises a subassembly which is arranged to be interposed axially between a lid 12, or respectively a drum 14, and a ratchet 21. -Set includes:
  • a differential board 22, which is arranged to pivot coaxially with the shaft 11, this differential board 22 being disposed between:
  • an upper side, a friction drive means 24 arranged for a relative drive between the differential board 22 and a ratchet 21,
and, on a lower side,
  • an output wheel 23 which is arranged to pivot coaxially with the shaft 11, and which constitutes a ball-holding basket 25 that still includes the subassembly,
  • these balls 25 being arranged to roll between a lower surface 26 of the differential board 22 and an upper surface 13 of a cover 12, or respectively of a drum 14,
and wherein the output wheel 23 is arranged to constitute or drive a power reserve indicator 51 of a motor 10.

Naturellement, le mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 100 peut intégrer un moteur 10 tel que décrit précédemment..Naturally, the power reserve indicator mechanism 100 can integrate a motor 10 as described above.

La transmission de mouvement du rochet 21 à la roue de différentiel 22 nécessite le respect du sens de pivotement, et peut nécessiter un rapport de réduction ou de démultiplication : en raison du principe de différentiel à billes il s'agit d'une démultiplication dans un rapport de 2.The transmission of movement of the ratchet 21 to the differential wheel 22 requires compliance with the direction of pivoting, and may require a gear ratio or reduction: due to the principle of differential ball is a reduction in a gear report of 2.

Dans une troisième variante, dont un exemple non limitatif est visible sur la figure 2, le mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 100 comporte une platine 2, qui est porteuse du moteur 10. Et cette platine 2 porte un rouage de renvoi d'entraînement différentiel 30 engrenant avec le rochet 21 et avec un rouage de renvoi différentiel 40 que porte aussi la platine 2 et qui engrène avec la planche de différentiel 22.In a third variant, a non-limiting example of which is visible on the figure 2 , the power reserve indicator mechanism 100 comprises a plate 2, which carries the motor 10. And this plate 2 carries a differential drive gear 30 meshing with the ratchet 21 and with a differential gear wheel 40 that carries also the plate 2 and which meshes with the differential board 22.

Le rouage de renvoi d'entraînement différentiel 30 comporte un pignon de renvoi entraînement différentiel 32, qui porte un renvoi entraînement différentiel 31, lequel engrène directement avec le rochet 21. La denture 33 du pignon de renvoi entraînement différentiel 32 engrène avec la denture 42 d'un renvoi roue différentiel 41.The differential drive gear train 30 comprises a differential drive gear 32, which carries a differential gear 31, which meshes directly with the ratchet 21. The toothing 33 of the differential drive gear 32 intermesh with the teeth 42 a differential wheel return 41.

Dans une quatrième variante, visible sur la figure 3, le mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 100 comporte une platine 2 porteuse du moteur 10 : Cette platine comporte au moins deux pivots 60 ,chacun porteur d'un pignon fou 61 dont une denture 62 engrène, d'une part avec une denture externe que comporte la planche de différentiel 22, et d'autre part avec une denture interne 210 que comporte un rochet 21. Cette quatrième variante à rouage d'armage planétaire est, toutefois, plus coûteuse que la troisième variante avec rouages d'armage intermédiaires.In a fourth variant, visible on the figure 3 , the power reserve indicator mechanism 100 includes a plate 2 carrying the motor 10: This plate comprises at least two pivots 60, each carrying a pinion 61 having a toothing 62 meshes, on the one hand with an external toothing that comprises the differential board 22, and secondly with an internal toothing 210 that includes a ratchet 21. This fourth variant planetary gearing is, however, more expensive than the third variant with intermediate gear wheels.

La figure 5 illustre, de façon très simplifiée, dans la mesure où la plupart des composants qu'elle comporte sont similaires à ceux exposés ci-dessus, une autre cinquième variante avantageuse, car réduisant l'encombrement axial, dans laquelle le rochet 21 forme directement le couvercle du barillet, et il y a naturellement un jeu (non représenté sur la figure) entre ce rochet 21 et le tambour 14. Les billes 25 coopèrent alors avec une surface supérieure du tambour 14. Ce rochet 21 comporte une denture 211, qui attaque la planche de différentiel par l'intermédiaire d'un rouage ad hoc. Par exemple, sur la figure 5, la denture 211 coopère avec une première denture 72 d'un renvoi de rochet 71, dont une deuxième denture 73 attaque une denture 75 d'un renvoi inverseur 74, laquelle engrène aussi avec la denture 220 de la planche de différentiel 22. Le moyen de friction 24 prend alors directement appui sur une platine 2. Naturellement, l'entraînement du rouage par le tambour 14 du barillet doit alors se faire dans une autre zone périphérique du barillet.The figure 5 illustrates, in a very simplified manner, to the extent that most of the components it comprises are similar to those set out above, another fifth advantageous variant, because reducing the axial size, in which the ratchet 21 directly forms the lid of the barrel, and there is naturally a game (not shown in the figure) between the ratchet 21 and the drum 14. The balls 25 then cooperate with an upper surface of the drum 14. This ratchet 21 has a toothing 211, which attacks the differential board via an ad hoc cogwheel. For example, on the figure 5 the toothing 211 cooperates with a first toothing 72 of a ratchet 71, a second gear 73 of which engages a toothing 75 of a reversing gear 74 which also meshes with the toothing 220 of the differential board 22. The means friction 24 then takes direct support on a plate 2. Naturally, the driving of the train by the drum 14 of the cylinder must then be done in another peripheral zone of the barrel.

La figure 6 illustre une sixième variante, comportant un sous-ensemble différentiel 50 amovible en un seul bloc.The figure 6 illustrates a sixth variant, comprising a differential subassembly 50 removable in one block.

Ce sous-ensemble différentiel 50 est entièrement assemblé sur une première bague épaulée 51, agencée pour être montée libre axialement sur une portée 112 de l'arbre 11 sur laquelle elle est enfilée. Un premier épaulement externe 52 de cette première bague épaulée 51 porte la roue de sortie 23 du différentiel, libre en pivotement par rapport à la première bague épaulée 51..This differential subassembly 50 is entirely assembled on a first shoulder ring 51, arranged to be mounted axially free on a bearing 112 of the shaft 11 on which it is threaded. A first outer shoulder 52 of this first shoulder ring 51 carries the output wheel 23 of the differential free to pivot relative to the first shoulder ring 51.

Comme précédemment, la roue de sortie 23 formant panier comporte, dans des logements 231, des billes 25 qui coopèrent avec la surface supérieure 13 du tambour 12 du barillet, et avec la surface inférieure 26 d'une planche de différentiel 22. De préférence, ces logements 231 sont réalisés avec un rétreint à leur orifice inférieur, du côté tourné vers le tambour 12, de façon à pouvoir manipuler le sous-ensemble 50 équipé sans perdre les billes 50. Ce rétreint peut être obtenu lors de l'emboutissage de la roue de sortie 23, ou encore être réalisé par un léger matage ou similaire. Après positionnement de la roue de sortie 23 équipée de ses billes 25 en appui sur le premier épaulement externe 52, on monte la planche de différentiel 22 qui est déjà chassée sur une deuxième bague épaulée 56, en butée sur un deuxième épaulement externe 58 que comporte cette deuxième bague épaulée 56. Cette deuxième bague épaulée 56 est libre en pivotement sur la première bague épaulée 51, en particulier dans la réalisation non limitative de la figure 6 un alésage 57 de la deuxième bague épaulée 56 pivote librement sur une portée externe 54 que comporte la première bague épaulée 51.As before, the outlet wheel 23 forming a basket comprises, in housings 231, balls 25 which cooperate with the upper surface 13 of the drum 12 of the barrel, and with the lower surface 26 of a differential board 22. Preferably, these housings 231 are made with a narrowing at their lower orifice, the side facing the drum 12, so as to handle the subassembly 50 equipped without losing the balls 50. This shrinkage can be obtained during the stamping of the output wheel 23, or still be achieved by a light matte or the like. After positioning the output wheel 23 equipped with its balls 25 bearing on the first outer shoulder 52, the differential board 22 is mounted which is already driven on a second shoulder ring 56, abutting on a second outer shoulder 58 that includes this second shoulder ring 56. This second shoulder ring 56 is free to pivot on the first shoulder ring 51, in particular in the non-limiting embodiment of the figure 6 a bore 57 of the second shoulder ring 56 pivots freely on an outer bearing surface 54 that includes the first shoulder ring 51.

Naturellement, on peut aussi réaliser en un seul composant la deuxième bague épaulée 56 et la planche de différentiel 22, l'important étant de séparer suffisamment la denture du rochet 21 de celle de la planche de différentiel 22. La deuxième bague épaulée 56 permet surtout d'utiliser une planche 22 issue d'étampage, beaucoup moins coûteuse qu'une roue usinée.Naturally, it is also possible to realize in a single component the second shoulder ring 56 and the differential board 22, the important thing being to separate sufficiently the ratchet 21 teeth of that of the differential board 22. The second shoulder ring 56 allows above all to use a plate 22 after stamping, much less expensive than a machined wheel.

La planche de différentiel 22 est en appui sur les billes 25.The differential board 22 bears on the balls 25.

Le sous-ensemble différentiel 50 est enfin coiffé par le rochet 21 qui est chassé sur la première bague épaulée 51, et en appui sur une face supérieure d'appui 58 de la deuxième bague épaulée 56.The differential subassembly 50 is finally capped by the ratchet 21 which is driven on the first shoulder ring 51, and bears on an upper bearing face 58 of the second shoulder ring 56.

A ce stade, le sous-ensemble différentiel 50 peut être manipulé d'un seul bloc, et être retourné si nécessaire, notamment par un moyen de montage robotisé.At this stage, the differential subassembly 50 can be handled in one piece, and be returned if necessary, in particular by a robotic mounting means.

L'arbre 11 comporte avantageusement des moyens d'entraînement 111, représentés de façon non limitative sur la figure 8 par des plats, agencés pour coopérer avec des moyens d'entraînement complémentaire 511 que comporte la première bague épaulée 51, tel que visible sur la figure 7, pour leur entraînement en pivotement l'un par l'autre, et pour le remontage du moteur 10. Naturellement, cet entraînement en pivotement peut être réalisé par tout moyen connu de l'homme du métier, directement ou encore indirectement par l'intermédiaire d'une clavette ou similaire.The shaft 11 advantageously comprises drive means 111, represented in a nonlimiting manner on the figure 8 by plates, arranged to cooperate with complementary drive means 511 that includes the first shoulder ring 51, as visible on the figure 7 , for their driving in pivoting one by the other, and for the reassembly of the engine 10. Of course, this pivoting drive can be achieved by any means known to those skilled in the art, directly or indirectly through a key or the like.

On voit encore sur la figure 6 un moyen de friction 24, de type rondelle élastique ou similaire, entre le rochet 21 et la platine 2.We still see on the figure 6 a friction means 24, of elastic washer type or the like, between the ratchet 21 and the plate 2.

La friction entre le rochet 21 et la deuxième bague épaulée 56 porteuse de la planche de différentiel 22 qui constitue, ainsi, toujours la première entrée du différentiel, la deuxième entrée étant constituée par le tambour de barillet 12.The friction between the ratchet 21 and the second shoulder ring 56 carrying the differential board 22 which is thus still the first input of the differential, the second input being constituted by the barrel drum 12.

L'invention concerne aussi un tel sous-ensemble différentiel 50 indépendant, agencé pour être monté sur un arbre 11 d'horlogerie, quil constitue un sous-ensemble amovible en un seul bloc et comporte une première bague épaulée 51, agencée pour être montée libre axialement sur une portée d'un arbre 11 et solidaire en pivotement avec cet arbre 11, laquelle première bague épaulée 51 porte, coaxiales, une roue de sortie 23 montée libre en pivotement par rapport à la première bague épaulée 51, cette roue de sortie 23 constituant un panier pour une pluralité de billes 25 saillantes à une extrémité inférieure dudit sous-ensemble différentiel 50 et agencées pour rouler sur une surface de révolution d'un mobile ou d'un barillet, cette première bague épaulée 51 portant, directement ou indirectement, une planche de différentiel 22 également libre en pivotement sur la première bague épaulée 51 et montée en appui de friction sur les billes 25 du côté opposé à leur extrémité saillante à l'extrémité inférieure, et un rochet 21 étant chassé sur la première bague épaulée 51 de façon à entraîner par friction la planche de différentiel 22.The invention also relates to such an independent differential subassembly 50, arranged to be mounted on a clockwork shaft 11, that it constitutes a removable subassembly in a single block and comprises a first shoulder ring 51, arranged to be freely mounted. axially on a bearing of a shaft 11 and integral in pivoting with this shaft 11, which first shoulder ring 51 carries, coaxial, an output wheel 23 mounted free to pivot relative to the first shoulder ring 51, this output wheel 23 constituting a basket for a plurality of balls protruding at a lower end of said differential subset 50 and arranged to roll on a surface of revolution of a mobile or barrel, this first shoulder ring 51 carrying, directly or indirectly, a differential board 22 also free to pivot on the first shoulder ring 51 and mounted in friction support on the balls 25 on the opposite side at their projecting end at the lower end, and a ratchet 21 being driven on the first shoulder ring 51 so as to frictionally drive the differential board 22 .

L'invention concerne encore un mouvement d'horlogerie 200 comportant au moins un tel moteur 10, ou/et au moins un tel mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 100.The invention also relates to a watch movement 200 comprising at least one such motor 10, and / or at least one such power reserve indicator mechanism 100.

L'invention concerne encore une montre 300, ou pièce d'horlogerie, comportant au moins un tel moteur 10, ou/et au moins un tel mécanisme indicateur de réserve de marche 100.The invention also relates to a watch 300, or timepiece, comprising at least one such motor 10, and / or at least one such power reserve indicator mechanism 100.

En somme, l'intégration d'un différentiel à billes directement sur le barillet, de manière coaxiale, selon l'invention, offre une complication horlogère utile, à un coût de production acceptable, car ne nécessitant que des transformations limitées, et des ajouts de composants simples en petit nombre.In sum, the integration of a ball differential directly on the barrel, in a coaxial manner, according to the invention, offers a useful horological complication, at an acceptable production cost, because requiring only limited transformations, and additions. simple components in small numbers.

Au niveau du barillet, il suffit de modifier l'arbre. Il n'est plus nécessaire de rajouter un pignon solidaire du couvercle ou du tambour pour l'entraînement du différentiel.At the level of the barrel, it is enough to modify the tree. It is no longer necessary to add a pinion integral with the cover or the drum for the drive of the differential.

Le gain de hauteur par rapport à un différentiel standard est appréciable.The height gain compared to a standard differential is appreciable.

Le gain de place dans le plan est important, du fait que le différentiel est coaxial au barillet.The saving of space in the plane is important, because the differential is coaxial with the barrel.

Le couvercle (ou le tambour, selon la disposition) du barillet fait directement office d'entrée pour le désarmage.The cover (or drum, depending on the arrangement) of the barrel is directly used as an entrance for disarming.

La roue de sortie 23 du différentiel ne peut être directement entraînée au travers du rochet de transmission 21, en effet, celui-ci tournant dans le même sens que la barillet, la sortie du différentiel ne tournerait que dans un seul sens. C'est pourquoi, selon l'invention, on intègre un rouage pour changer le sens de pivotement. Le rochet de transmission, solidaire à l'arbre de barillet, entraîne la planche de différentiel au travers d'une cinématique simple, en particulier d'un rouage, avec interposition d'un inverseur pour rattraper le sens de pivotement correct : c'est l'objet des troisième et quatrième variantes, respectivement double rouage, et rouage planétaire, lequel est un peu plus coûteux mais moins encombrant que le précédent. Le gain global de place reste, quelle que soit la solution choisie, important par rapport à l'art antérieur.The output wheel 23 of the differential can not be directly driven through the transmission ratchet 21, in fact, the latter rotating in the same direction as the barrel, the output of the differential would rotate only in one direction. This is why, according to the invention, a gear train is integrated to change the direction of pivoting. The transmission ratchet, integral with the barrel shaft, drives the differential board through a simple kinematics, in particular a gear train, with the interposition of an inverter to make up the correct direction of rotation: this is the object of the third and fourth variants, respectively double wheel, and planetary gear, which is a little more expensive but less cumbersome than the previous one.
