Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanism for a timepiece comprising a cam and a feeler.
  • the selection mechanism comprises a rocker controlling an actuator for engaging or disengaging it from one or more notches formed in the periphery of a cam.
  • WO02 / 077725 describes a chronograph comprising counters capable of rotating in both directions and provided with a control finger capable of engaging on a transmission wheel.
  • Such mechanisms thus frequently include a feeler which can be actuated to fall into or out of a notch provided in the periphery of a cam.
  • the probe falls on the edge of the cam instead of falling in the notch.
  • US3696609 describes a mechanism with a snail-shaped cam and a feeler, the end of which is pressed against the periphery of the cam by elastic means.
  • the probe can be raised to turn the cam in the opposite direction when setting the time. The probe is never engaged in a notch and raising the cam, or lowering it, does not pose any particular difficulty.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism free from the above limitations.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a mechanism comprising a cam with a notch and a feeler which can be raised or fallen more easily into the notch.
  • An object of the invention is in particular to propose a mechanism comprising a cam with a notch having two edges and a bottom, and a finger which can be raised or extracted easily from this notch.
  • An object is also to precisely control the position of the finger against the cam both when the finger is in abutment against the periphery of the rotating cam, and when it is at the bottom of the notch.
  • the flexible element allows the end of the finger to move (by deformation of the finger, and / or by displacement of the whole finger) between a first position and a second position, so as to penetrate more easily into the notch.
  • the mechanism may include means for placing the finger in a first position pressed against the periphery of the cam or for raising it.
  • the mechanism may for example include a first actuator, for example a jumper, for placing the finger in a first position pressed against the periphery of the cam, and a second actuator, for example a hook, for placing the finger in a second raised position at a distance from this cam.
  • the probe has an axis of rotation to allow it to rotate between the first and second positions, and vice versa.
  • the elastic portion can be arranged to modify the distance between the finger and this axis of rotation.
  • the elastic portion can be arranged so that the distance between the end of the finger and the axis of rotation is greater when the probe is in the first position than when the probe is in the second position.
  • the finger can constitute a separate part from the probe arm and assembled on this arm, for example by driving out, clipping or gluing. This allows the finger and the arm to be produced separately, for example with separate manufacturing steps and / or materials, or in different thicknesses.
  • the elastic portion is integrally linked to the finger. This reduces the number of parts and assembly operations.
  • a separate elastic portion of the finger can also be envisaged, for example an elastic portion linked to the arm, or an independent elastic portion.
  • the probe arm may have an opening.
  • the elastic portion of the finger can be engaged in this opening, so that the finger can move between a first position pressed against an edge of the opening forming a first stop, and a second position pressed against the opposite edge of the opening forming a second stop.
  • the elastic portion can be arranged to force the finger against the second stop when the finger is free. In this second position, the deformation of the feeler allows the finger to penetrate more easily into the notch.
  • the deformation of the elastic portion of the feeler by the cam allows the finger to press against the first stop, by exerting an elastic force against this stop.
  • the probe can include an arm and a probe head provided with the finger.
  • the invention is in particular suitable for cams provided with a notch having two edges and a bottom.
  • the finger can only be raised from the notch by raising the probe.
  • the finger is arranged to fall almost instantly back into the notch when it is in the pressed position opposite the notch, and not to fall into the notch when it is in the raised position.
  • the finger can therefore fall into the notch either following a rotation of the cam, bringing the notch opposite the pressed finger; either following a movement of the finger passing from the raised position to the pressed position opposite the notch.
  • One of the edges of the notch is preferably flared in order to facilitate the introduction and / or extraction of the finger.
  • the cam and the finger are preferably arranged so that the finger does not come into contact with the bottom of the notch when the finger is in the notch.
  • the finger is pressed by the flexible element only against one of the edges of the notch, preferably against the flared edge of the notch, when it is in the notch.
  • the mechanism illustrated by way of example in different positions on the figures 1 to 4 comprises a cam 1 mounted on the same axis 12 as a toothed mobile 13, for example a wheel or a pinion.
  • the mobile 13 is part of the gear train of a watch movement, for example of the train of a countdown mechanism.
  • the mobile 13 can for example drive a barrel 10 with which the needle or the minute disc is integral with a countdown indicator, for example a minute counter for a regatta watch.
  • the direction of rotation of the mobile 13 depends on the operating mode; in the example illustrated, this mobile rotates clockwise during the countdown, and does not rotate in chronograph mode.
  • the invention can also be applied to other horological complications implementing a cam with a notch and a feeler, for example to a striking watch.
  • the periphery 11 of the cam 1 has a notch 10.
  • the notch is concave and has two edges 101, 102 + 103, one of which is flared, and a bottom. The edges are separated from the bottom by an edge.
  • a feeler 5 provided with a finger 50 can be pressed against this periphery 11 using a jumper not shown, in position A illustrated on the figure 1 and in position C illustrated on the figures 2 to 3 , or raised at a distance from this periphery in position B illustrated on the figure 4 .
  • An unrepresented star can also be mounted on the axis 12, which makes it possible to index the cam 1 to place it in predetermined angular positions when a jumper not shown is pressed against this star.
  • One of these predetermined positions allows for example to place the notch 10 in front of the finger 50, to facilitate its penetration into the notch.
  • One of the edges 101 of the notch 10 is practically rectilinear and perpendicular to the bottom of the notch while the other edge 102 is more flared.
  • the probe 5 can pivot around the axis of rotation 52.
  • the mentioned jumper makes it possible to rotate the arm 5 around the axis 52 to press it against the periphery 11 in position A.
  • position A corresponds to a countdown position.
  • Position C corresponds to a chronograph counting position.
  • Position B can correspond to a reset position for the hands or the chronograph indicator disc.
  • a hook grips the portion 540 of the end 54 of the feeler in order to raise it in position B by rotating it around the axis 52. When this hook is released, the feeler drops back into positions A or C pressed against the periphery 11, under the action of a jumper not shown.
  • This hook can be released by a push button not shown, for example a start button of the chronograph.
  • the probe 5 has an arm 53 and an end opposite to the axis of rotation 52 and constituting a probe head.
  • An oblong opening 55 formed in the probe head makes it possible to retain the finger 50.
  • the finger 50 therefore consists of a component separate from the arm 53 of the probe, and is assembled to this arm.
  • the assembly is carried out by driving out or gluing a stud 510 integrated into the finger 50 in the opening 55.
  • the stud is mounted at the end of a flexible portion 51 between the stud 510 and the body 511 of the finger, including the end of the finger 512 engaged in the notch 10.
  • the flexible portion 51 exerts prestress on the head 511 and the end 512 of the finger 50, so as to pivot this end 512 in clockwise (in direction of the center of rotation 52) and pressing it against a stop 531 formed on the edge of the opening 55 closest to the axis of rotation 52.
  • This prestressed position makes it possible to move the end 512 away from the finger intended to be engaged in the notch of the straight edge 101 of the cam, and to facilitate its introduction into the notch from the position illustrated on the figure 4 , for example when starting a chronograph directly from reset position B.
  • the finger 50 When it reaches the bottom of the notch, the finger 50 is released from the reaction force exerted by the periphery 11 of the cam 1, and returns to its position pressed against the stop 531 under the effect of the prestress created by the flexible portion 51, leaving a clearance 100 between the head of the finger 512 and the edge 101.
  • the distance between the end of the finger and the axis of rotation 52 therefore changes when the finger enters the notch under the effect from the jumper from position A.
  • the figure 4 illustrates the mechanism with a push-button in position B raised.
  • this position is reached for example by actuating the reset button of the chronograph hands.
  • this position can for example also be obtained during the setting of the countdown.
  • the probe 5 drops back to position A or C (corresponding to figures 2 and 3 ) bearing against the periphery 11 of the cam 1, and, to reach position C, the finger 50 enters the notch 10 under the action of the jumper mentioned above. From this position, the action of the elastic portion 51 tends to move the end of the finger 50 away from the edge 101, in order to facilitate its penetration.
