Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly to watch hands.
  • watch hands are fixed on their shaft of rotation by driving, that is to say that a hollow cylinder, in this case the barrel, is forced on an axis having a diameter slightly larger than the inside diameter of the cylinder.
  • the elastic and plastic properties of the material used generally a metal, are used for this hunting.
  • attaching a needle should provide sufficient force to hold the needle in place during impact.
  • the force required for a conventional watch hand is for example of the order of 10N.
  • the invention particularly aims to overcome the various drawbacks of these known techniques.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a timepiece according to claim 1 appended.
  • the invention also aims, at least in one particular embodiment, to provide a watch hand requiring a lower driving force while retaining a holding force of the needle on the satisfactory axis.
  • an indicator hand for a timepiece comprising a barrel, of internal diameter Di, intended to be driven out on a cylindrical axis.
  • said barrel has at least one flat on its internal diameter intended to cooperate with said cylindrical axis so as to elastically deform the barrel on either side of said at least one flat to fix said barrel on said cylindrical axis.
  • the object of the present invention by its various functional and structural aspects described above, makes it possible to obtain a watch hand more robust and easier to drive out on an axis.
  • an indicator hand 1 for a timepiece conventionally comprising a body 11 and a barrel 10 intended to be driven out on a cylindrical axis 2, the barrel 10 having an internal diameter Di greater than the diameter Dax of the cylindrical axis 2.
  • the body 11 and the barrel 10 can be indifferently formed by stamping, machining by removing chips, laser machining, cutting by punching, or any other machining known to those skilled in the art.
  • the barrel 10 and the body 11 of the needle 1 are two separate elements, the barrel being attached to the body 11 during assembly of the needle.
  • the barrel 10 and the body 11 form a one-piece element.
  • the body 11 and the barrel 10 of the needle 1 can be produced from metal alloys such as copper alloys such as brass, bronze or even pfinodal, gold alloys, aluminum alloys or even alloys of steel.
  • metal alloys such as copper alloys such as brass, bronze or even pfinodal, gold alloys, aluminum alloys or even alloys of steel.
  • the barrel 10 is attached to the body 11 of the needle 1, the body 11 and the barrel 10 can be made of a different alloy, for example the body 11 can be made of an alloy of gold and barrel 10 in an alloy of steel.
  • the barrel 10 is of cylindrical shape and has at least one flat 12 on its internal diameter Di which is intended to cooperate with the cylindrical axis 2 so as to elastically deform the barrel 10 on either side of the flat 12 so as to hold the barrel 10 in place on the cylindrical axis 2.
  • the flat 12 is positioned in the immediate vicinity of the body 11 of the needle 1, along the median axis Am of the needle 1. Such a position of the flat 12 makes it possible in particular to obtain a needle 1 having better aesthetic appearance.
  • the flat 12 can obviously be positioned anywhere on the internal diameter of the barrel 10.
  • the barrel can have several flats on its inside diameter.
  • the flat 12 extends over all or part of the height of the barrel 10. As illustrated in the figure 2 , the flat 12 extends over the entire height of the barrel 10.
  • the thickness e of the flat 12 is identical to the thickness of the barrel 10 so as to obtain a better aesthetic appearance.
  • the thickness e of the flat part may vary according to needs and feasibility, the flat part 12 being able to have a thickness e smaller or greater than that of the barrel 10.
  • the distance between the flat 12 and the wall opposite the flat 12 is less than the diameter Dax of the cylindrical axis 2 so as to create interference.
  • the barrel has, near the body 11, a flat 12 locally reducing the internal diameter Di of the barrel 10 so that the diameter Dax of the cylindrical axis 2 is greater than the diameter Di of the barrel 10 at the level of the flat 12.
  • the distance between the flat 12 and the wall opposite the flat 12 of the barrel 10 is less than the diameter Dax of the cylindrical axis, which makes it possible to create an interference which is between 10 ⁇ m and 16 ⁇ m.
  • the flat 12 ensures the elastic clamping of the barrel 10 on the cylindrical axis 2.
  • the barrel 10 adapts to the dimensions of the cylindrical axis 2 and maintains the needle 1 on the cylindrical axis 2 by requiring a lower driving force while maintaining a holding force of needle 1 on the cylindrical axis satisfactory.
  • a holding force sufficient to hold the needle 1 in place in the event of an impact, and also sufficient to be able to adjust its position.
  • Such a needle is also more robust vis-à-vis the tolerances when driving the needle, the barrel 10 having no slot capable of weakening it.
  • such a needle 1 according to the invention requires only a driving force between 10N and 25N, which represents a lower force compared to the prior art where the driving force is 10N for an interference of 1 ⁇ m.
  • the intersection between the flat 12 and the cylindrical axis 2 represents an area called "interference area” Ai and the free space between the cylindrical axis 2 and the walls of the barrel 10 represents an area called “empty area” Av.
  • the interference area Ai will always be greater than zero and will be dimensioned so that the driving force and / or the holding force of the desired needle 1 is reached according to the rigidity of the geometry of the barrel 10.
  • the empty area Av is variable and tends to decrease when the cylindrical axis 2 is introduced into the barrel 10, as illustrated in the figure 4 .
  • the indicator hand equips a watch, the watch comprising in particular a watch case 3 equipped with a movement surmounted by a dial 4 through which a needle outlet is formed by the cylindrical axis 2 , the indicator needle 1 being resiliently held on said cylindrical axis 2.
