Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotational guide bearing for a timepiece shaft, in particular a guide bearing for a shaft portion or a pivot of a timepiece resonator, in particular a guide bearing for a timepiece pendulum tigeron.
  • the invention also relates to a watch shock absorber or anti-shock device comprising such a bearing.
  • the invention also relates to a clock mechanism comprising such a bearing or such a damper.
  • the invention also relates to a watch movement comprising such a bearing or such a damper or such a mechanism.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a bearing or such a damper or such a mechanism or such a movement.
  • the pivoting devices or conventional guide bearings balancer induce more or less significant friction on the pivots of the balance depending on the position of the oscillator.
  • the friction is higher in the vertical position of the watch, still called “hanging" position, than in the horizontal position of the watch or "flat” position, so that the oscillation amplitude of the balance is more weak in the vertical positions than in the horizontal positions of the watch.
  • a difference in amplitude may in particular result in a difference in operation, hence the importance for the accuracy of the timepiece of minimizing the "flat-hung", that is to say the difference between walk between the "flat” position and the "hanging" position.
  • the friction in the different positions varies because the configurations of the contact between the rocker pins and the guide stones change.
  • a horizontal watch position the balance shaft is vertical and the end of the pivot of the shaft comes to rest on a stone called against pivot. In general, this stone is flat and the end of the pivot is rounded, so that the radius of the friction surface is low and the resulting friction is low.
  • the balance shaft In a vertical watch position, the balance shaft is in a horizontal position and rubs on the edge of a hole, usually an olive hole and / or rounded edges formed in a stone. The friction is greater and the oscillation amplitude of the balance is therefore lower than horizontal watch position.
  • the document CH239786 discloses a pivoting device combining an olive stone and a counter-pivot abutment inclined relative to the shaft. This makes it possible to permanently induce a friction of the cylindrical portion of the shaft against the olive stone in the horizontal watch position, and therefore to increase the friction in this position.
  • US2654990 discloses a flat-end pivot and slightly rounded edges rubbing against a counter-pivot provided with a hemispherical depression. The goal is also to increase the friction in horizontal watch position by maximizing the radius of friction of the contact surface of the pivot in such a position.
  • Monobloc dampers are also known in which the pivoting means of the balance pivot are manufactured in one piece with return means.
  • the document CH700496 relates to a simplified monobloc damper, the guide means of the rocker pivot bearing are implemented by elastic return means of the damper body.
  • these elastic return means press the pivot bearing against a stop formed by the body of the damper so that they have no effect on the pivot of balance.
  • no indication is given on the chronometric performance of such a device.
  • the document CH701995 relates to a bearing which has the particularity of being pressed against a rocker pivot under the effect of a spring arranged to apply a force directed axially relative to the shaft of the rocker pivot.
  • the bearing and the spring are preassembled within a pivot structure ready to be mounted on the watch movement. The purpose is to remove the movements of the pivot, and thus the contact configuration variations between the pivot and the bearing, due to changes in position of the watch.
  • the spring is prestressed so that it can act on the balance pivot, unlike a lyre of a conventional damper which acts only by reaction in case of a shock under the effect of the longitudinal displacement of the pendulum pivot.
  • the spring has a geometry close to that of a lyre.
  • the spring may be in the form of a coil spring.
  • the bearing and the spring can be monobloc.
  • Such a solution is not optimal insofar as the preload of the spring is dependent on the axial location of the pivot structure, and therefore in particular many assembly tolerances.
  • the document CH701995 discloses besides means for adjusting the prestressing of the spring by the axial displacement of the pivoting structure, for example by means of a bearing body whose outer periphery is threaded so that it can cooperate with a tapping formed on a pendulum bridge.
  • the force produced by the spring is dimensioned such that it allows appropriate behavior of the pivot device in case of impact. Pivoting and damping functions are therefore dependent on each other.
  • the patent application CH709905 discloses different embodiments of blade pivots.
  • two blades supported by a beam are held in abutment in the groove bottom under the effect of elastically deformable arms.
  • Such a structure requires a complex construction, defining two distinct virtual pivot trees.
  • blades biased by elastically deformable arms can define the same virtual pivot axis, but must be arranged in separate planes.
  • Such embodiments are also not suitable for a conventional balance beam structure. In particular, the amplitude of oscillation on such pivots is very limited.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a guide bearing to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above and improve the watch bearings known from the prior art.
