- the casing 11 is closed in a sealed manner by an ice under which are positioned a dial and hands ( Fig. 1 ), as well as the watch movement.
- the cardanic suspension of the watch 10, also known per se, is represented simply by a ring 12 of suspension; the mechanical links between the ring 12 and the support 30 are not detailed for the sake of clarity of the figures.
- the watch according to the invention also comprises a winding control member 13 comprising a winding control gear 14 positioned outside the watch.

- the gear train 14 is integral with an axis 15 passing through a wall of the housing 11 via a bearing 11a; and the traversing axis 15 is engaged with the winding train (Ba) of the barrel.
- the bearing 11a comprises, on an inner wall, two grooves in which are housed two O-rings 11b completing the sealing of the housing 11 at the axis 15.
- the coupling gear 21 comprises a flange 21a and a plurality of teeth 21b cut on a top face of the flange 21a of the coupling gear 21 and arranged so that the coupling gear 21 can rotate the winding control train 14 (mechanical coupling by interconnection) when the coupling gear is in the reassembly position.

- the mechanism 30 here comprises four pairs of connecting rods ( Figs. 2-4 ).
- Each pair of connecting rods comprises two rods 34, 35 associated in scissors and the rod pairs are associated in pairs.
- a connecting rod 34 comprises a foot articulated by a pivot connection with the support 30 and a head hinged by a pivot connection with a head of an associated rod 35; said associated rod 35 also comprises a foot articulated mechanically by a pivot link 35a with the connecting tube 21a of the cradle and with a foot of another rod 35 of a pair of associated rods.

- each pair of connecting rods 34, 35 forms a closed chisel ( Fig. 3-4 ).
- a traction / rotation on the handle 37 of the lever causes the simultaneous opening of the pairs of rods, driving the gear 21 in translation in the direction of the holding pin 22 to the holding position: the control member of reassembly 13 is then supported on the drive member 20 comprising the gear 21 and; the watch is no longer only supported on the cardan suspension and is thus immobilized.
- the chronometer winding means according to the embodiment shown in the figures is used in the following manner.
- the driving member 20 rests on the support 30 and is remote from the watch; the winding control member 13 of the watch and the drive member 20 are spaced from each other so that there is no mechanical coupling between them; the watch is thus free of movement on the cardan suspension.
- the drive member 20 When the user pulls on the handle 37 of the lever 33, the drive member 20 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 30; when the driving gear 21 of the member 20 comes into contact with the winding control member 13 of the watch, and more precisely with the winding control gear 14, the gear 21 rotates the gear 14 and the shows up to the winding position where the axis of the gear 21 and the axis of the wheel 14 of the watch are aligned.
- the mechanical coupling between the gear train 21 and the gear train 14 is maximal, the watch rests on the gear train 21 so that the cardan suspension is relieved of the weight of the watch.
- the watch is thus immobilized on the coupling means 20, for example to be transported or reassembled.
- the gear train 21 is engaged with the coupling gear 43a so that a rotation of a key at the free end 41a of the gear wheel
- the shaft 41 rotates the coupling gear 43a, which in turn rotates the linkage train 22a, the holding pin 22 and the drive train 21.
- the drive train 21 drives in rotation the winding control member 13 by mechanical coupling, which makes it possible to wind the barrel of the watch.
- a scissors-type mechanism is used to raise and lower the driving means 20, but it is understood that according to variants of other types of lifting mechanisms may be envisaged, example we could provide a mechanism of the simple knee type or two connecting rods or a mechanism of the knee press type or a jack system for example telescopic screw jacks or not.
- Such mechanisms are described in particular in pages 144 and 145 of the book entitled “Elementary Mechanisms” edited by Decoopman, ISBN 97823650027 which are incorporated herein by reference.

Description
L'invention concerne un chronomètre mécanique de marine, comprenant une montre généralement de grand format destinée à conserver le temps sur les bateaux. De manière connue, une telle montre comprend, dans un boîtier, un mouvement mécanique entraîné par un barillet une telle montre est fixée à un support par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension à cardan de sorte que la montre est inclinable dans toutes les directions par rapport au support. La suspension à cardan assure ainsi à la montre et plus précisément à l'oscillateur de la montre une position horizontale quels que soient les mouvements du bateau. Une suspension à cardan est toutefois fragile et supporte assez mal les déplacements, les chocs, notamment du fait du poids de la montre qu'elle porte. Également, un chronomètre de marine doit pouvoir être utilisé dans des conditions climatiques difficiles et doit en particulier résister à l'eau. Ainsi, de manière connue, la montre est équipée d'un boîtier étanche à l'eau. Le remontage du barillet du chronomètre nécessite toutefois une intervention manuelle depuis l'extérieur du boîtier de la montre.The invention relates to a marine mechanical chronometer, comprising a watch generally large format for keeping time on boats. In known manner, such a watch comprises, in a housing, a mechanical movement driven by a cylinder such a watch is fixed to a support via a cardan suspension so that the watch is tilting in all directions by report to the support. The cardan suspension thus ensures the watch and more precisely the oscillator of the watch a horizontal position regardless of the movements of the boat. A cardan suspension is, however, fragile and supports movement, shocks, especially because of the weight of the watch it carries. Also, a marine chronometer must be able to be used in difficult climatic conditions and must in particular withstand the water. Thus, in known manner, the watch is equipped with a waterproof case. The winding of the stopwatch cylinder however requires manual intervention from outside the case of the watch.

Sur le prolongement de cet axe, au fond du boîtier, est monté un pignon de remontage F' de taillage semblable monté coulissant pour engrener avec le pignon F en position de remontage. A l'extérieur du boîtier, une roue dentée D est montée sur l'axe du pignon de remontage F', ladite roue dentée étant couplée à un pignon conique C fixé à une extrémité d'une tige de remontoir.

La présente demande de brevet propose un nouveau chronomètre de marine, ne présentant pas au moins un des inconvénients des chronomètres de marine connus tels qu'exposés ci-dessus.The present patent application proposes a new marine chronometer, not exhibiting at least one of the disadvantages of known marine chronometers as set forth above.
Plus précisément, la présente invention propose un chronomètre de marine comprenant une montre montée sur un support, par exemple montée inclinable par rapport au support par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension à cardan ; la montre comprend, dans un boîtier, un mouvement mécanique entraîné par un barillet ; la montre comprend également un organe de commande de remontage en prise avec un rouage de remontage du barillet.More specifically, the present invention provides a marine chronometer comprising a watch mounted on a support, for example mounted tilting relative to the support by means of a cardan suspension; the watch comprises, in a case, a mechanical movement driven by a barrel; the watch also comprises a winding control member engaged with a wheel winding cylinder.
Le chronomètre selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que l'organe de commande de remontage comprend un rouage de commande de remontage positionné à l'extérieur de la montre, solidaire d'un axe traversant une paroi du boîtier par l'intermédiaire d'un palier, ledit axe traversant étant en prise avec le rouage de remontage du barillet.The chronometer according to the invention is characterized in that the winding control member comprises a winding control gear positioned outside the watch, integral with an axis passing through a wall of the housing via a bearing, said traversing axis being engaged with the winding train of the barrel.
Le palier autorise la rotation de l'organe de commande de remontage, notamment pour permettre le remontage du barillet, mais interdit tout déplacement en translation de l'axe traversant la paroi du boîtier de la montre. Les conditions d'étanchéité au niveau du palier sont ainsi les mêmes, que le moyen de remontage soit en position de repos ou en position de remontage. Par ailleurs, comme le rouage de commande de remontage est positionné à l'extérieur du boîtier, il peut être couplé à un moyen de remontage sans intervention à l'intérieur du boîtier ; l'étanchéité est ainsi maîtrisée.The bearing allows the rotation of the winding control member, in particular to allow the winding of the barrel, but prohibits any displacement in translation of the axis passing through the wall of the watch case. The sealing conditions at the level of the bearing are thus the same whether the winding means is in the rest position or in the winding position. Moreover, as the winding control train is positioned at outside the housing, it can be coupled to a winding means without intervention inside the housing; the tightness is thus controlled.
Le palier peut comprendre, sur une paroi intérieure, au moins une gorge dans laquelle est logé un joint améliorant l'étanchéité du boîtier. Le joint est par exemple un joint torique. Lors d'un remontage, le joint est soumis uniquement à des efforts radiaux dus aux rotations l'axe traversant de l'organe de commande de remontage, mais pas à des efforts latéraux de sorte que le joint ne peut pas être déplacé ou déformé. L'étanchéité du boîtier est ainsi parfaitement maintenue, y compris pendant le remontage du barillet.The bearing may comprise, on an inner wall, at least one groove in which is housed a seal improving the sealing of the housing. The seal is for example an O-ring. During reassembly, the seal is subjected only to radial forces due to rotations of the thru axle of the winding control member, but not to lateral forces so that the seal can not be moved or deformed. The tightness of the housing is thus perfectly maintained, including during the winding of the barrel.
Le chronomètre selon l'invention peut également comprendre un moyen de couplage comprenant un rouage de couplage mobile entre une position de couplage où le rouage de commande de remontage de la montre et le rouage de couplage sont couplés mécaniquement et une position de repos où le rouage de commande de remontage de la montre est indépendant du moyen de couplage. Ainsi réalisé, le moyen de couplage permet de ne pas déplacer en translation l'organe de commande de remontage lié au barillet, par exemple pour un remontage du barillet.The chronometer according to the invention may also comprise a coupling means comprising a mobile coupling train between a coupling position where the winding control wheel of the watch and the coupling gear are mechanically coupled and a rest position where the gear train winding control of the watch is independent of the coupling means. Thus realized, the coupling means makes it possible not to move in translation the winding control member connected to the barrel, for example for winding the barrel.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le moyen de couplage comprend également un axe de maintien et un mécanisme de levage pour coulisser le rouage de couplage le long de l'axe de maintien entre la position de couplage et la position de repos. Le mécanisme de levage peut être par exemple de type ciseaux et peut être par exemple actionné manuellement par un levier.According to one embodiment, the coupling means also comprises a holding pin and a lifting mechanism for sliding the coupling gear along the holding axis between the coupling position and the rest position. The lifting mechanism can be for example scissors type and can be for example manually operated by a lever.
De préférence, l'organe de commande de remontage et le moyen de couplage sont positionnés sous le boîtier de la montre de sorte que, lorsque le rouage de couplage est en position de couplage, la montre est en appui sur le moyen de couplage. Ainsi, en position de couplage, le rouage de couplage et son axe de maintien supportent le poids de la montre. Si de plus la montre est montée mobile, par exemple inclinable sur une suspension à cardan, la montre est immobilisée en appui sur l'organe d'entraînement. La montre est donc verrouillée en position concentrique à l'axe central du boîtier, position verrouillée qui évite les mouvements désordonnés de la montre lors de transports, hors fonction de garde temps sur un bateau.Preferably, the winding control member and the coupling means are positioned under the case of the watch so that, when the coupling gear is in the coupling position, the watch bears on the coupling means. Thus, in the coupling position, the coupling gear and its holding pin support the weight of the watch. If in addition the watch is mounted movably, for example tilting on a cardan suspension, the watch is immobilized in support on the drive member. The watch is locked in a concentric position to the central axis of the housing, locked position which avoids the disordered movements of the watch during transport, off duty time on a boat.
Le chronomètre peut également comprendre un moyen de remontage comprenant un mécanisme d'entraînement en rotation du rouage de couplage, pour permettre à un utilisateur de remonter le barillet.The stopwatch may also include a winding means comprising a mechanism for rotating the coupling gear, to allow a user to wind the barrel.
En complément, le moyen de remontage peut comprendre un mécanisme de débrayage adapté pour isoler le moyen de couplage du mécanisme d'entraînement en rotation lorsque le barillet a atteint une position remontée. Ceci permet d'éviter de casser la montre et / ou le moyen de remontage en cas d'effort excessif de l'utilisateur.In addition, the winding means may comprise a disengaging mechanism adapted to isolate the coupling means of the rotary drive mechanism when the cylinder has reached a raised position. This avoids breaking the watch and / or the winding means in case of excessive effort of the user.
L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lumière de la description qui suit d'exemples de réalisation d'un chronomètre selon l'invention.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le palier 11a comprend, sur une paroi intérieure, deux gorges dans lesquelles sont logés deux joints 11b toriques complétant l'étanchéité du boîtier 11 au niveau de l'axe 15.The watch according to the invention also comprises a

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté, le rouage de couplage 21 comprend un flasque 21a et une pluralité de dents 21b taillées sur une face de dessus du flasque 21a du rouage de couplage 21 et agencées de sorte que le rouage de couplage 21 puisse entraîner en rotation le rouage de commande de remontage 14 (couplage mécanique par crabotage) lorsque le rouage de couplage est en position de remontage. Le moyen de couplage 20 comprend également un axe de maintien 22 et un mécanisme de levage 30 pour coulisser le rouage de couplage 21 le long de l'axe de maintien 22 entre la position de couplage et la position de repos.According to the embodiment shown, the
Dans l'exemple représenté, l'organe de commande de remontage 13 et le moyen de couplage 20 sont positionnés sous le boîtier de la montre de sorte que, lorsque le rouage de couplage est en position de couplage, la montre est en appui sur l'organe d'entraînement 20.In the example shown, the winding
Dans l'exemple représenté, le mécanisme de levage 30 est de type ciseaux (
Sur les figures, le moyen de couplage 20 comprend un rouage de liaison 22a ; le moyen de remontage quant à lui comprend un mécanisme d'entraînement en rotation du moyen de couplage 20 et un mécanisme de débrayage adapté pour isoler le moyen de couplage 20 du mécanisme d'entraînement en rotation lorsque le barillet a atteint une position remontée. Le mécanisme de mise en rotation 40 représenté
- un axe de mise en mouvement 41 dont
une extrémité libre 41a est adaptée à recevoir un dispositif d'entraînement manuel tel qu'une clé, une manivelle, une molette, ... ou un dispositif d'entraînement à assistance électrique, un organe d'entraînement 43 comprenantun rouage 43a en prise avec le rouage deliaison 22a etun pignon crabot 43b, ledit organe d'entraînement 43 étant monté rotatif sur l'axe de mise en mouvement 41,- un pignon de débrayage 45 complémentaire du pignon crabot 43a et maintenu en prise avec le pignon crabot 43b par un moyen de rappel élastique 46, le pignon crabot 43b ; le pignon de débrayage 45 et le moyen de rappel élastique 46 forment ensemble le mécanisme de débrayage du moyen de remontage.
- a
movement axis 41 whosefree end 41a is adapted to receive a manual drive device such as a key, a crank, a wheel, ... or an electric drive device, - a
drive member 43 comprising agear train 43a engaged with thelinkage train 22a and apinion gear 43b, saiddrive member 43 being rotatably mounted on themovement axis 41, - a
release gear 45 complementary to thepinion gear 43a and kept engaged with thepinion gear 43b by an elastic return means 46, thepinion gear 43b; thedisengagement pinion 45 and the elastic return means 46 together form the disengaging mechanism of the winding means.
Le moyen de remontage du chronomètre selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures est utilisé de la manière suivante. En position de repos (
Lorsque l'utilisateur tire sur le manche 37 du levier 33, l'organe d'entraînement 20 est levé par le mécanisme de levage 30 ; lorsque le rouage d'entraînement 21 de l'organe 20 arrive en contact avec l'organe de commande de remontage 13 de la montre, et plus précisément avec le rouage de commande de remontage 14, le rouage 21 fait pivoter le rouage 14 et la montre jusqu'à la position de remontage où l'axe du rouage 21 et l'axe du rouage 14 de la montre sont alignés. Le couplage mécanique entre le rouage 21 et le rouage 14 est maximal, la montre repose sur le rouage 21 de sorte que la suspension à cardan est soulagée du poids de la montre. La montre est ainsi immobilisée sur le moyen de couplage 20, par exemple pour être transportée ou remontée.When the user pulls on the
Par ailleurs, comme le rouage de liaison 22a est en prise avec le rouage d'entraînement 43a, le rouage 21 est en prise avec le rouage de couplage 43a de sorte qu'une rotation d'une clé à l'extrémité libre 41a de l'axe 41 entraîne en rotation le rouage de couplage 43a, qui entraîne à son tour en rotation le rouage de liaison 22a, l'axe de maintien 22 et le rouage d'entraînement 21. A son tour, le rouage d'entraînement 21 entraîne en rotation l'organe de commande de remontage 13 par couplage mécanique, ce qui permet de remonter le barillet de la montre.Moreover, since the
Dans l'exemple qui vient d'être décrit un mécanisme du type ciseaux est utilisé pour lever et abaisser le moyen d'entraînement 20 mais il est bien entendu que selon des variantes d'autres type de mécanismes de levage peuvent être envisagés, à titre d'exemple on pourrait prévoir un mécanisme du type genou simple ou à deux bielles ou encore un mécanisme du type presse à genoux ou encore un système à vérins par exemple des vérins à vis télescopique ou non.
