Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of jewelry and jewelry. It relates more particularly to a piece of jewelry or jewelry comprising a mechanism for animating an object such as a piece of jewelry, a precious or semi-precious stone, a sculpture or any other miniature object integrated therein.
- the document FR2988866 describes a mechanism for animating a precious or semi-precious stone, in which a mainspring is arranged to animate the stone according to a rotational movement about a single axis of rotation by means of a flexible belt.
- the stone is mounted on a tree by four claws or jaws, which hold it in place.However, the movement of the stone is monotonous and only shows one of its faces, which always presents the same angle to the wearer and therefore limits its visibility. Moreover, the scintillation of the stone is thus relatively limited and the observer is obliged to observe it from an acute angle in order to visualize more than its crown.
- the document WO2013 / 004782 describes a tourbillon mechanism in which the regulating system is mounted in a pair of rings forming a gimbal.
- the aim of the invention is therefore to provide a piece of jewelry or jewelry comprising a mechanism for animating an object in which the aforementioned defects are at least partially overcome.
- said support system comprises a first frame mounted to pivot on a frame member about said first axis of rotation, as well as an inner frame mounted to pivot in said first frame about a second pivot axis which is substantially orthogonal to said first pivot axis.
- the two frames can have any shape.
- said object is arranged to be driven in rotation along said pivot axes by an eccentric drive element, such as a crank, a lever or the like, which is integral in rotation with a driving wheel set, the latter being arranged to be driven by said power take-off on the transmission.
- the object is animated with a compound movement, defined by back and forth rotations around each of the two axes of rotation, which give it two degrees of freedom in rotation.
- the movement generated thus represents a rotating tilt, which increases the visibility of the object, as well as scintillations in the event that the latter is a jewel or a precious or semi-precious stone.
- the object is carried by a shaft mounted to pivot in said inner frame about a third axis, said shaft being integral in rotation with a pinion meshing with a fixed or rotary toothing which is coaxial with said mobile drive.
- the object is animated with a compound movement defined by the three pivot axes, and rotates not only according to the aforementioned rotary tilt but also around the third axis according to a continuous movement.
- the mechanism further comprises a clutch of any type located kinematically between said power take-off on the transmission and said driving wheel set, in order to make the kinematic connection between these two elements disengageable and therefore selective.
- This clutch can be arranged to be controlled manually (for example by means of a push-button or other control member) or automatically, by any mechanism.
- At least part of the kinematic connection between said transmission and said moving object is flexible, which allows a certain “floating” of the object generated by movements of said part.
- the object can be linked to the inner frame by means of an elastomeric element or the like and / or the kinematic connection between the driving wheel set and the transmission can comprise an elastic belt.
- said regulating system comprises a sprung balance oscillator designed to be maintained in oscillation by an escapement of any kind.
- These elements can for example form part of a tourbillon system (single, double or multiple, inclined or not), of a carousel (inclined or not) or similar.
- several regulating systems can be combined with one another, thanks to mechanisms known to those skilled in the art (differentials, etc.).
- At least a portion of said animated object protrudes outside the set of said frames, thus maximizing its visibility.
- at least part of said animated object is located further from the driving wheel set than the entirety of said frames.
- FIG. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate the overall structures of an animation mechanism 1 of an object, integrated into a piece of jewelry or jewelry 3.
- the latter can be, for example, a piece of jewelry intended to be worn as a bracelet, necklace, brooch or to be placed on a surface such as a table.
- kinematic and / or functional links are represented by arrows.
- the figure 1 illustrates a first mechanical variant of such a mechanism 1.
- the mechanism 1 comprises a mechanical driving source 5, such as a driving spring, in kinematic connection with a regulating system 7 by means of a transmission 9 , shown here as a gear 9 composed of a plurality of toothed members, three of which have been indicated by the reference signs 9a, 9b and 9c.
- the number of toothed members forming part of the gear train 9 can, of course, be chosen according to the needs of the manufacturer.
- other transmission systems known to those skilled in the art could be used in place of cogs, such as, for example, belts, chains, transmission shafts, or any other type of transmission, which are at within the reach of those skilled in the art and therefore should not be illustrated here.
- the regulating system 7 can be of any known mechanical type, such as, for example, a centrifugal governor, a paddle wheel rotating in air or in a liquid, a tuning fork regulator, an escapement-sprung balance regulator, a mono-, bi- or triaxial tourbillon, a carousel or any other similar system (or combination of systems).
- One of the toothed members 9b serves as a power take-off on the transmission 9, which is arranged to drive an animated object 11, as will clearly follow below.
- the power take-off can be made up of an element which is driven by the latter at a location other than where the kinematic connection is located with the regulating system 7.
- the animated object 11 is thus located in the branch of the transmission 9.
- the driving source 5 can also be a driving spring, in which case the regulating system 7 is, as mentioned above, connected to the driving source 5 by an ad hoc kinematic link, or alternatively it can be an electric motor.
- the motor source can be for example a stepper motor, the speed of rotation of which is regulated by a regulating system 7 such as a quartz system or any other equivalent system.
- the driving source 5 is in kinematic connection with the animated object 11 via the transmission 9, also illustrated here as a cog again composed of a plurality of components. toothed 9d, 9e, 9f, one of which is arranged to drive the animated object 11.
- the last toothed member 9f drives the animated object 11, but it is possible that a member Intermediate toothed fulfills this aim, which would in particular be the case if the transmission 9 also caused a watch switch or the like.
- the transmission 9 comprises one or more belt (s) or chain (s)
- the latter is in kinematic connection with the animated object 11 in an ad hoc manner.
- FIG. 5 illustrate a concrete embodiment corresponding to the diagram of the figure 1 .
- Frame elements such as bridges, plates, landings etc. have not been shown so as not to overload the drawings.
- the driving source 5 is a driving spring (not visible) housed in a barrel 5a in a known manner.
- One of the ends of the mainspring is fixed to a shaft 5b, which is integral in rotation with a toothed wheel 5d serving as a force output which drives the transmission 9, which in this case consists of a cog 9 comprising three toothed members 9a, 9b, 9c meshing with each other in pairs in a known manner.
- Each of these toothed members 9a, 9b, 9c consists of two toothed wheels and / or pinions, mutually integral in rotation with one another, and pivoted between bearings (not shown) integral with frame elements (also not shown).
- the other end of the spring cooperates with the drum of the barrel 5a, which can be rotated by a manual and / or automatic winding system in order to wind the spring.
- the drum of the barrel 5a may be integral in rotation with a toothing which drives the gear train 9, the mainspring being wound up by its shaft 5b in such a case.
- the force output of the driving source 5, i.e. the toothed wheel 5d in the construction shown, is in kinematic connection with the regulating system 7 via the transmission 9.
- the last toothed member 9c of the gear train 9 drives a regulating system 7 of the escapement-sprung balance type, in which an escapement of the so-called "Swiss lever” type maintains the oscillations of a balance-spring oscillator. in a known manner, and which therefore does not have to be described in detail.
- tuning system 7 is also possible, as well as other forms of exhaust (English lever, detent, Omega-Daniels, etc.).
- the toothed member 9b which is located in the middle of the gear train 9, serves as a power take-off for the animated object 11, shown here as a precious or semi-precious stone, other variations being possible as explained below. above.
- the animated object 11 is supported by a support system 13, which connects it to a frame element (not shown) by means of a pair of pivots 13a carried by supports 13m fixed to the latter.
- pivots 13a define a first pivot axis A1, around which is pivoted a first frame 13b consisting of an annular ring of generally circular shape. Other shapes (oval, square, rectangular, etc.) are also possible.
- This frame carries a pair of intermediate pivots 13d, which define a second axis of rotation A2, substantially orthogonal to said first axis A1.
- An inner frame 13f is mounted to pivot about this second axis A2, and is integral with a base 13g which directly or indirectly carries the animated object 11.
- the inner frame 13f consists of a part having a substantially circular shape, thus that two arms 13f1 which connect the pivots 13d to the base 13g. It goes without saying that other shapes are also possible, and it is not even compulsory for the frame 13f to include the annular part. Indeed, the base 13g can simply be connected to the pivots by the arms 13f1 or by another ad hoc arrangement.
- At least one of the frames 13b, 13f can be provided with any decoration, for example enamelling, precious or semi-precious stones, or any other desired decoration.
- at least one of the shafts of the pivots 13d, 13a may project beyond the surface of the element which it passes through, that is to say the outer surface of the first frame 13b for the pivots 13d, or the surface of the support 13m in the case of the pivots 13a, and can bear a decoration such as for example a precious or semi-precious stone. The movement of this stone will therefore generate scintillations which will accentuate the perception of the pivoting of the frame to which the stone is integral in rotation.
- the animated object 11 is supported by a shaft 13h, which passes through the base 13g and which is integral with a support 13j in which the animated object 11 is fixed by crimping.
- the object 11 can be fixed there by gluing, screwing, welding, driving or the like, depending on the nature of the object 11 and of the support 13j, and it is noted that the animated object 11 can be coaxial with the shaft 13h, or can be off-center in relation to the latter.
- the connection between the animated object 11 and the internal frame 13f may include a flexible element, for example made of elastomer, to allow a slight “floating” of the object under the effect of the movement of the part.
- the shaft 13h is mounted in bearings 13k provided in the base 13g so that said shaft 13h can pivot relative to the latter.
- the support system defines a gimbal support, which gives the moving object 11 two degrees of freedom in rotation, and, substantially, no degrees of freedom in translation.
- the pivoting of the shaft 13h in the base 13g confers a third degree of freedom in rotation on the animated object 11 about a third axis A3, which corresponds to the geometric axis of the shaft 13h.
- this third degree of freedom is not compulsory, as explained below.
- the driving of the animated object 11 around the third axis A3 is ensured by the cooperation between a pinion 13l consisting of a toothing that the shaft 13h comprises and a conical toothing 17 which is coaxial with the driving mobile 15 and is fixed in the construction shown.
- a pinion 13l consisting of a toothing that the shaft 13h comprises
- a conical toothing 17 which is coaxial with the driving mobile 15 and is fixed in the construction shown.
- Other forms of toothing are also possible, such as for example an internal bevel toothing carried by a crown, or other ad hoc gears.
- the mechanism further comprises a driving wheel 15, which comprises a toothed wheel 15a meshing with the toothed member 9b serving as a power take-off.
- a driving wheel 15 which comprises a toothed wheel 15a meshing with the toothed member 9b serving as a power take-off.
- the axis of rotation of the driving wheel 15 is arranged to substantially cross the intersection of the axes A1 and A2, but in certain configurations a certain offset is also allowed, which can make the movement of the object 11 not symmetrical.
- the mobile drive 15 also comprises an eccentric drive element 15b, which is integral in rotation with said toothed wheel 15a and is linked thereto by a shaft 15d.
- the eccentric drive element 15b as illustrated takes the form of an angled lever or crank fixed to the shaft 15d, the free end of the eccentric element 15b cooperating with the end of the rod 13h in order to train it along a substantially circular course. In doing so, when the driving wheel 15 rotates, the object 11 performs a compound movement having two degrees of freedom in rotation, the amplitude of which is defined by the geometry of the support system 13 as well as the radius of the element. drive eccentric 15b. This movement is a back and forth around each of the axes A1 and A2, which creates an inclined orbital movement.
- the animated object 11 pivots around the three axes A1, A2, A3, and its movements make it more visible to the observer than in the case of the prior art. As a result, the observer no longer has to observe it from acute angles in order to see more than its front face.
- a rotation of the object 11 around the third axis A3 is not compulsory.
- the fixed teeth 17 as well as the pinion 13l of the shaft 13h may be not provided, the movement of the animated object 11 thus being defined exclusively by back and forth rotations around the two axes A1 and A2.
- the support system 13 is distinct from the regulating system 7, the latter serving simply to determine the speed of rotation of the transmission 9 and of the movements of the animated object 11, which is driven. branch of the transmission 9.
- the animated object 11 is not part of the regulating system 7, is not mounted on an element of the latter, does not carry any element of the regulating system 7, and can be considered kinematically in parallel to the latter.
- the support system 13 can be located inside, or in superposition.
- a polished well (not shown), which may for example take the form of a goblet, parabolic, elliptical, hemispherical or similar mirror, which is arranged to direct ambient light onto the underside of the object.
- a light source for example a tritium element, one or more LEDs or the like
- the object 11 is a stone, its scintillations can be enhanced.
- the driving wheel 15 may form part of the transmission 9, for example being the toothed member 9b (or other).

- the toothing 17 can also be rotated by a ad hoc kinematic link, which makes it possible to determine more freely the speed of rotation of the object around the axis A3.
- the animated object 11 can be kinematically connected to the transmission 9 by means of a differential gear.
- the figure 6 schematically illustrates yet another variant of a construction, which differs from that of the figure 1 in that a clutch 19 is provided between the transmission 9 and the animated object 11.
- This clutch 19 can take any known form, such as for example a vertical, horizontal, sliding gear or differential clutch (l 'all of these clutches being known in particular in chronograph mechanisms, which therefore do not need to be described in detail here), can be controlled manually by means of a control member such as a pusher, a bolt or the like , or alternatively automatically by any mechanism. Still alternatively, the clutch 19 can be with intermittent teeth.
- the mechanism When the clutch 19 is engaged, the mechanism operates as described above. However, when it is disengaged, the animated object 11 is free to move under the effect of gravity and / or the movements of the part 3, the drive wheel 15 being free to rotate.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de la joaillerie et de la bijouterie. Elle concerne, plus particulièrement, une pièce de joaillerie ou bijouterie comprenant un mécanisme d'animation d'un objet tel qu'un bijou, une pierre précieuse ou semi-précieuse, une sculpture ou tout autre objet miniature, intégré là-dedans.The present invention relates to the field of jewelry and jewelry. It relates more particularly to a piece of jewelry or jewelry comprising a mechanism for animating an object such as a piece of jewelry, a precious or semi-precious stone, a sculpture or any other miniature object integrated therein.
Le document
Le but de l'invention est par conséquent de proposer une pièce de bijouterie ou de joaillerie comprenant un mécanisme d'animation d'un objet dans lequel les défauts susmentionnés sont au moins partiellement surmontés.The aim of the invention is therefore to provide a piece of jewelry or jewelry comprising a mechanism for animating an object in which the aforementioned defects are at least partially overcome.
De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne une pièce de bijouterie ou de joaillerie portable comprenant un mécanisme d'animation d'un objet, comme défini par la revendication 1. Ce mécanisme comporte :
- une source motrice, telle qu'un ressort moteur ou un moteur électrique, agencé pour entrainer une transmission, telle que, par exemple, un rouage composé d'une pluralité d'organes dentés, une ou plusieurs courroies, chaines, arbres de transmission ou comprenant d'autres moyens similaires ;
- un système réglant, tel qu'un système échappement-balancier-spiral, diapason, système à quartz ou similaire, agencé pour régler la vitesse de rotation desdits organes dentés ;
- un système de support, distinct du système réglant, portant un objet, tel qu'une pierre précieuse ou semi-précieuse, un bijou, une sculpture miniature ou similaire, destiné à être animé selon une rotation autour d'au moins un premier axe de rotation, ledit objet étant agencé pour être entrainé directement ou indirectement par une prise de force sur ladite transmission. Dans le cas où la transmission se compose d'un rouage, cette prise de force est l'un parmi lesdits organes dentés, qui transmet donc la force venant de la source motrice à l'objet.
- a driving source, such as a mainspring or an electric motor, arranged to drive a transmission, such as, for example, a cog made up of a plurality of toothed members, one or more belts, chains, transmission shafts or including other similar means;
- a regulating system, such as an escapement-sprung balance, tuning fork, quartz system or the like, arranged to regulate the speed of rotation of said toothed members;
- a support system, distinct from the regulating system, carrying an object, such as a precious or semi-precious stone, a piece of jewelry, a miniature sculpture or the like, intended to be animated according to a rotation around at least a first axis of rotation, said object being arranged to be driven directly or indirectly by a power take-off on said transmission. In the case where the transmission consists of a cog, this power take-off is one of said toothed members, which therefore transmits the force coming from the driving source to the object.
Selon l'invention, ledit système de support comporte un premier cadre monté pivotant sur un élément de bâti autour dudit premier axe de rotation, ainsi qu'un cadre intérieur monté pivotant dans ledit premier cadre autour d'un deuxième axe de pivotement qui est substantiellement orthogonal audit premier axe de pivotement. Les deux cadres peuvent présenter des formes quelconques. Pour le surplus, ledit objet est agencé pour être entrainé en rotation selon lesdits axes de pivotement par un élément excentrique d'entrainement, tel qu'une manivelle, un levier ou similaire, qui est solidaire en rotation d'un mobile d'entrainement, ce dernier étant agencé pour être entrainé par ladite prise de force sur la transmission.According to the invention, said support system comprises a first frame mounted to pivot on a frame member about said first axis of rotation, as well as an inner frame mounted to pivot in said first frame about a second pivot axis which is substantially orthogonal to said first pivot axis. The two frames can have any shape. For the rest, said object is arranged to be driven in rotation along said pivot axes by an eccentric drive element, such as a crank, a lever or the like, which is integral in rotation with a driving wheel set, the latter being arranged to be driven by said power take-off on the transmission.
Par ces moyens, l'objet est animé d'un mouvement composé, défini par des rotations de va-et-vient autour de chacun des deux axes de rotation, qui lui confèrent deux degrés de liberté en rotation. Le mouvement engendré représente ainsi un penchement rotatif, qui augmente la visibilité de l'objet, ainsi que des scintillations dans le cas où ce dernier est un bijou ou une pierre précieuse ou semi-précieuse.By these means, the object is animated with a compound movement, defined by back and forth rotations around each of the two axes of rotation, which give it two degrees of freedom in rotation. The movement generated thus represents a rotating tilt, which increases the visibility of the object, as well as scintillations in the event that the latter is a jewel or a precious or semi-precious stone.
Avantageusement, l'objet est porté par un arbre monté pivotant dans ledit cadre intérieur autour d'un troisième axe, ledit arbre étant solidaire en rotation d'un pignon engrenant avec une denture fixe ou rotative qui est coaxiale audit mobile d'entrainement. Ce faisant, l'objet est animé d'un mouvement composé défini par les trois axes de pivotement, et pivote non seulement selon le penchement rotatif susmentionné mais également aussi autour du troisième axe selon un mouvement continu.Advantageously, the object is carried by a shaft mounted to pivot in said inner frame about a third axis, said shaft being integral in rotation with a pinion meshing with a fixed or rotary toothing which is coaxial with said mobile drive. In doing so, the object is animated with a compound movement defined by the three pivot axes, and rotates not only according to the aforementioned rotary tilt but also around the third axis according to a continuous movement.
Avantageusement, le mécanisme comprend en outre un embrayage de n'importe quel type situé cinématiquement entre ladite prise de force sur la transmission et ledit mobile d'entrainement, afin de rendre la liaison cinématique, entre ces deux éléments, débrayable et donc sélective. Ceci permet de débrayer l'objet animé de ladite transmission et ainsi de lui permettre de se déplacer selon l'effet de mouvements de la pièce dans laquelle le mécanisme est intégré. Cet embrayage peut être agencé pour être commandé manuellement (par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un poussoir ou autre organe de commande) ou automatiquement, par un mécanisme quelconque.Advantageously, the mechanism further comprises a clutch of any type located kinematically between said power take-off on the transmission and said driving wheel set, in order to make the kinematic connection between these two elements disengageable and therefore selective. This makes it possible to disengage the animated object from said transmission and thus to allow it to move according to the effect of movements of the part in which the mechanism is integrated. This clutch can be arranged to be controlled manually (for example by means of a push-button or other control member) or automatically, by any mechanism.
Avantageusement, au moins une partie de la liaison cinématique entre ladite transmission et ledit objet animé est souple, ce qui permet un certain « flottement » de l'objet engendré par des mouvements de ladite pièce. En particulier, l'objet peut être lié au cadre intérieur par l'intermédiaire d'un élément en élastomère ou similaire et/ou la liaison cinématique entre le mobile d'entrainement et la transmission peut comprendre une courroie élastique.Advantageously, at least part of the kinematic connection between said transmission and said moving object is flexible, which allows a certain “floating” of the object generated by movements of said part. In particular, the object can be linked to the inner frame by means of an elastomeric element or the like and / or the kinematic connection between the driving wheel set and the transmission can comprise an elastic belt.
Avantageusement, ledit système réglant comprend un oscillateur balancier-spiral agencé pour être entretenu en oscillation par un échappement de n'importe quel genre. Ces éléments peuvent par exemple faire partie d'un système de tourbillon (simple, double ou multiple, incliné ou non), de carrousel (incliné ou non) ou similaire. De plus, plusieurs systèmes réglant peuvent être combinés entre eux, grâces à des mécanismes connus de l'homme du métier (différentiels, etc.).Advantageously, said regulating system comprises a sprung balance oscillator designed to be maintained in oscillation by an escapement of any kind. These elements can for example form part of a tourbillon system (single, double or multiple, inclined or not), of a carousel (inclined or not) or similar. In addition, several regulating systems can be combined with one another, thanks to mechanisms known to those skilled in the art (differentials, etc.).
Avantageusement, au moins une portion dudit objet animé déborde au dehors de l'ensemble desdits cadres, maximisant ainsi sa visibilité. En d'autres mots, au moins une partie dudit objet animé se trouve plus éloignée du mobile d'entrainement que l'entièreté desdits cadres.Advantageously, at least a portion of said animated object protrudes outside the set of said frames, thus maximizing its visibility. In other words, at least part of said animated object is located further from the driving wheel set than the entirety of said frames.

L'un des organes dentés 9b sert de prise de force sur la transmission 9, qui est agencée pour entrainer un objet animé 11, comme découlera clairement par la suite. Dans le cas où la transmission est composée d'une courroie, d'une chaine ou similaire, la prise de force peut être constituée d'un élément qui est entrainé par cette dernière à un endroit autre qu'où se trouve la liaison cinématique avec le système réglant 7. L'objet animé 11 se trouve ainsi en branche de la transmission 9.One of the
Dans la variante de la
Les
Dans ce mode de réalisation, la source motrice 5 est un ressort moteur (non visible) logé dans un barillet 5a de façon connue. L'une des extrémités du ressort moteur est fixée à un arbre 5b, qui est solidaire en rotation d'une roue dentée 5d servant de sortie de force qui entraine la transmission 9, qui se compose dans le cas d'espèce d'un rouage 9 comportant trois organes dentés 9a, 9b, 9c engrenant entre eux par paires de façon connue. Chacun de ces organes dentés 9a, 9b, 9c se compose de deux roues dentées et/ou pignons, mutuellement solidaires en rotation entre eux, et pivotés entre paliers (non représentés) solidaires d'éléments de bâti (également non représentés).In this embodiment, the driving
L'autre extrémité du ressort coopère avec le tambour du barillet 5a, qui peut être entrainé en rotation par un système de remontage manuel et/ou automatique afin de remonter le ressort. Alternativement, le tambour du barillet 5a peut être solidaire en rotation d'une denture qui entraine le rouage 9, le ressort moteur étant remonté par son arbre 5b dans un tel cas.The other end of the spring cooperates with the drum of the
La sortie de force de la source motrice 5, c'est-à-dire la roue dentée 5d dans la construction illustrée, est en liaison cinématique avec le système réglant 7 par l'intermédiaire de la transmission 9.The force output of the driving
Le dernier organe denté 9c du rouage 9 entraine un système réglant 7 de type échappement-balancier-spiral, dans lequel un échappement de type dit « à ancre suisse » entretient les oscillations d'un oscillateur balancier-spiral de façon connue, et qui ne doit donc pas être décrit en détail. Comme mentionné ci-dessus, d'autres types de système réglant 7 sont également possibles, ainsi que d'autres formes d'échappement (à ancre anglaise, à détente, Omega-Daniels, etc.).The last
L'organe denté 9b, qui se situe au milieu de du rouage 9, sert de prise de force pour l'objet animé 11, illustré ici en tant que pierre précieuse ou semi-précieuse, d'autres variantes étant possibles comme expliqué ci-dessus. L'objet animé 11 est soutenu par un système de support 13, qui le relie à un élément de bâti (non représenté) par l'intermédiaire d'une paire de pivots 13a portés par des supports 13m fixés sur ce dernier.The
Ces pivots 13a définissent un premier axe de pivotement A1, autour duquel est pivoté un premier cadre 13b constitué par une bague annulaire de forme généralement circulaire. D'autres formes (ovale, carrée, rectangulaire, etc.) sont également possibles. Ce cadre porte une paire de pivots intermédiaires 13d, qui définissent un deuxième axe de rotation A2, substantiellement orthogonal par rapport audit premier axe A1. Un cadre intérieur 13f est monté pivotant autour de ce deuxième axe A2, et est solidaire d'un socle 13g qui porte directement ou indirectement l'objet animé 11. Le cadre intérieur 13f se compose d'une partie présentant une forme substantiellement circulaire, ainsi que deux bras 13f1 qui relient les pivots 13d au socle 13g. Il va sans dire que d'autres formes sont également possibles, et il n'est même pas obligatoire que le cadre 13f comporte la partie annulaire. En effet, le socle 13g peut simplement être relié aux pivots par les bras 13f1 ou par un autre agencement ad hoc.These
Au moins l'un des cadres 13b, 13f peut être muni d'un décor quelconque, par exemple un émaillage, des pierres précieuses ou semi-précieuses, ou tout autre décor voulu. Par ailleurs, au moins l'un des arbres des pivots 13d, 13a peut dépasser la surface de l'élément qu'il traverse, c'est-à-dire la surface extérieure du premier cadre 13b pour les pivots 13d, ou la surface extérieure du support 13m dans le cas des pivots 13a, et peut porter un décor comme par exemple une pierre précieuse ou semi-précieuse. Le mouvement de cette pierre engendrera donc des scintillations qui accentueront la perception du pivotement du cadre dont la pierre est solidaire en rotation.At least one of the
Il est également à noter qu'aucun des cadres 13b, 13f n'est en superposition de l'objet animé 11, qui déborde de ces derniers 13b, 13f et est ainsi en saillie, maximisant ainsi sa visibilité. En d'autres mots, au moins une partie dudit objet 11 est plus éloignée du mobile d'entrainement 15 que l'entièreté des cadres 13b, 13f.It should also be noted that none of the
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, l'objet animé 11 est soutenu par un arbre 13h, qui traverse le socle 13g et qui est solidaire d'un support 13j dans lequel l'objet animé 11 est fixé par sertissage. Alternativement, l'objet 11 peut y être fixé par collage, vissage, soudage, chassage ou similaire, selon la nature de l'objet 11 et du support 13j, et on note que l'objet animé 11 peut être coaxial à l'arbre 13h, ou peut être décentré par rapport à ce dernier. Par ailleurs, la liaison entre l'objet animé 11 et le cadre intérieur 13f peut comporter un élément souple, par exemple en élastomère, pour permettre un léger « flottement » de l'objet sous l'effet du déplacement de la pièce.In the illustrated embodiment, the
L'arbre 13h est monté dans des paliers 13k prévus dans le socle 13g de telle sorte que ledit arbre 13h peut pivoter par rapport à ce dernier.The
D'après ce qui précède, il est clair que le système de support définit un support à cardan, ce qui confère à l'objet animé 11 deux degrés de liberté en rotation, et, substantiellement, aucun degré de liberté en translation. Le pivotement de l'arbre 13h dans le socle 13g confère un troisième degré de liberté en rotation à l'objet animé 11 autour d'un troisième axe A3, qui correspond à l'axe géométrique de l'arbre 13h. Cependant, ce troisième degré de liberté n'est pas obligatoire, comme expliqué ci-dessous.From the above, it is clear that the support system defines a gimbal support, which gives the moving
L'entrainement de l'objet animé 11 autour du troisième axe A3 est assuré par la coopération entre un pignon 13l constitué d'une denture que comporte l'arbre 13h et d'une denture conique 17 qui est coaxiale au mobile d'entrainement 15 et est fixe dans la construction illustrée. D'autres formes de dentures sont également possibles, comme par exemple une denture conique interne portée par une couronne, ou d'autres engrenages ad hocs.The driving of the
Afin d'animer l'objet 11, le mécanisme comporte en outre un mobile d'entrainement 15, qui comporte une roue dentée 15a engrenant avec l'organe denté 9b servant de prise de force. Bien entendu, l'interposition de mobiles dentés supplémentaires et/ou autres liaisons cinématiques telles que des courroies sont également possibles. L'axe de rotation du mobile d'entrainement 15 est agencé pour substantiellement croiser l'intersection des axes A1 et A2, mais dans certaines configurations un certain décalage est également permis, ce qui peut rendre le mouvement de l'objet 11 non symétrique.In order to animate the
Le mobile d'entrainement 15 comporte également un élément excentrique d'entrainement 15b, qui est solidaire en rotation de ladite roue dentée 15a et y est lié par un arbre 15d. L'élément excentrique d'entrainement 15b tel qu'illustré prend la forme d'un levier ou manivelle coudé fixé sur l'arbre 15d, l'extrémité libre de l'élément excentrique 15b coopérant avec l'extrémité de la tige 13h afin de l'entrainer selon un parcours substantiellement circulaire. Ce faisant, lorsque le mobile d'entrainement 15 tourne, l'objet 11 effectue un mouvement composé ayant deux degrés de liberté en rotation, dont l'amplitude est définie par la géométrie du système de support 13 ainsi que le rayon de l'élément excentrique d'entrainement 15b. Ce mouvement est un va-et-vient autour de chacun des axes A1 et A2, ce qui crée un mouvement orbital incliné.The
En même temps, la denture 13l de l'arbre 13h roule sur la denture fixe 17, ce qui fait pivoter l'objet animé 11 autour du troisième axe A3.At the same time, the toothing 13l of the
Par ces moyens, l'objet animé 11 pivote autour des trois axes A1, A2, A3, et ses mouvements le rendent plus visible à l'observateur que dans le cas de l'art antérieur. En conséquence, l'observateur ne doit plus l'observer selon des angles aigus afin de voir plus que sa face avant.By these means, the
Il va sans dire qu'autres constructions pour l'excentrique d'entrainement 15b sont possibles, et que les rapports d'engrenage peuvent être adaptés aux besoins du constructeur afin d'animer l'objet 11 d'une vitesse de rotation voulue autour des trois axes de rotation.It goes without saying that other constructions for the drive eccentric 15b are possible, and that the gear ratios can be adapted to the needs of the manufacturer in order to animate the
Comme mentionné ci-dessus, une rotation de l'objet 11 autour du troisième axe A3 n'est pas obligatoire. Dans un tel cas, la denture fixe 17 ainsi que le pignon 13l de l'arbre 13h peuvent être non prévus, le mouvement de l'objet animé 11 étant ainsi défini exclusivement par des rotations de va-et-vient autour des deux axes A1 et A2.As mentioned above, a rotation of the
Au vu de ce qui précède, il est clair que le système de support 13 est distinct du système réglant 7, ce dernier servant simplement à déterminer la vitesse de rotation de la transmission 9 et des déplacements de l'objet animé 11, qui est entrainé en branche de la transmission 9. En d'autres mots, l'objet animé 11 ne fait pas partie du système réglant 7, n'est pas monté sur un élément de ce dernier, ne porte aucun élément du système réglant 7, et peut être considéré cinématiquement en parallèle à ce dernier.In view of the above, it is clear that the
Le même principe peut être appliqué à un mode de réalisation comme illustré dans la
Afin de permettre l'illumination de l'objet 11 d'en dessous (c'est-à-dire depuis la direction du mobile d'entrainement 15), le système de support 13 peut se trouver à l'intérieur, ou en superposition, d'un puits poli (non illustré), qui peut prendre par exemple la forme d'un gobelet, d'un miroir parabolique, elliptique, hémisphérique ou similaire, qui est agencé pour diriger la lumière ambiante sur la face inférieure de l'objet. Encore alternativement, une source de lumière (par exemple un élément tritium, une ou plusieurs LEDs ou similaire) peut être placée en dessous de l'objet et des cadres 13b, 13f. Par ces moyens, si l'objet 11 est une pierre, ses scintillations peuvent être améliorées.In order to allow the illumination of the
Bien entendu, d'autres constructions sont possibles. Par exemple, le mobile d'entrainement 15 peut faire partie de la transmission 9, en étant par exemple l'organe denté 9b (ou autre). Les liaisons cinématiques peuvent présenter des jeux relativement importants et/ou comporter des éléments élastiques tels que des courroies élastiques ou similaires, afin de permettre à l'objet animé 11 de « flotter » dans une certaine mesure sous l'effet de mouvements de la pièce 3. La denture 17 peut également être animée d'une rotation par une liaison cinématique ad hoc, ce qui permet de déterminer plus librement la vitesse de rotation de l'objet autour de l'axe A3. Encore alternativement, l'objet animé 11 peut être relié cinématiquement à la transmission 9 par l'intermédiaire d'un engrenage différentiel.Of course, other constructions are possible. For example, the
La
Lorsque l'embrayage 19 est embrayé, le mécanisme fonctionne comme décrit ci-dessus. Cependant, lors de son débrayage, l'objet animé 11 est libre de se déplacer sous l'effet de gravité et/ou des déplacements de la pièce 3, le mobile d'entrainement 15 étant libre de tourner.When the clutch 19 is engaged, the mechanism operates as described above. However, when it is disengaged, the
Le même principe peut également s'appliquer, mutatis mutandis, au mode de réalisation de la
Finalement, la
Bien que l'invention ait été précédemment décrite en lien avec des modes de réalisations spécifiques, d'autres variantes supplémentaires sont également envisageables sans sortir de la portée de l'invention comme définie par les revendications.Although the invention has been previously described in connection with specific embodiments, other additional variants are also conceivable without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
