Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a display mechanism for a timepiece, in particular a date display mechanism.
  • optical magnification means such as a magnifying glass
  • the units and tens digits are distributed on separate mobiles and the size of these digits can then be considerably enlarged.
  • the date mechanisms applying this last solution are commonly called “big date” and are well known.
  • the document CH 310 559 describes for example a date display, in which the date is indicated by two juxtaposed or coplanar discs, one bearing the tens digits, the other those of the units. Other arrangements of the units and tens discs are possible.
  • the documents EP 0 529 191 and EP 1 017 996 describe a date display with a units disc and a tens disc coaxial and superimposed.
  • the documents CH 690 515 , DE 1020050106012 and CH 688 671 describe a date display with a units disc and a coplanar and coaxial tens disc.
  • EP 1 426 836 further discloses coplanar discs.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a display mechanism for a timepiece, in particular a date display mechanism, offering great readability without harming the aesthetics of the display and while remaining simple and compact in its construction.
  • the display mechanism according to the present invention is intended to equip a timepiece, and in particular a wristwatch or a pocket watch, for the display of information through an aperture.
  • the display mechanism is a date display mechanism.
  • the date display mechanism illustrated in figures 1 to 11 comprises a first date disc 1 whose circumference is truncated over a sector of approximately 60° (in the example illustrated, this sector therefore has a radius strictly less than the outer radius of the solid, non-truncated part of the rest of the disc ).
  • This truncated sector is designated by notch 11 below.
  • the first date disc 1 bears the marks 4 to 18 (fifteen marks designated by the reference 10) arranged on the rest of its circumference (that is to say on its solid part of 300°).
  • each marker 10 occupies an angular sector of 20° and the notch 11 therefore occupies the place of three markers.
  • the date display mechanism further comprises a second date disc 2 whose circumference is truncated over a sector of approximately 60°, designated by notch 21 below (in the example illustrated, this sector therefore has a radius strictly less than the outer radius of the solid, non-truncated part of the rest of the disc).
  • the second date disc 2 bears the marks 19 to 31, 1, 2 and 3 (sixteen marks designated by the reference 20) arranged on the rest of its circumference (that is to say on its solid part of 300°) .
  • each marker 20 occupies an angular sector of 18.75° and the notch 21 therefore occupies the place of three markers (3.2 markers according to the strict division).
  • the first and second date discs 1 and 2 are arranged to be coplanar and to cooperate with a one-stop window 3 arranged on the center line of the first and second date discs 1, 2.
  • first and second date discs 1 and 2 are arranged so that the distance between their center is strictly less than the sum of the radii of their solid part (part of larger radius). There should therefore be overlap but the notches 11, 21 are chosen and the discs are arranged relative to each other so that they can pivot, the first in one direction, the second in the opposite direction, without block although being coplanar.
  • the first and second date discs 1, 2 have a similar shape and size: that is to say that their solid part have the same outer radius while the notches 11, 12 are truncated sectors of almost identical size and shape.
  • the first date disc 1 is integral with a first pinion 5 comprising eighteen teeth in the illustrated embodiment.
  • a first jumper 7 is arranged to ensure the angular positioning of the first pinion 5.
  • the second date disc 2 is integral with a second pinion 6 comprising nineteen teeth in the illustrated embodiment.
  • a second jumper 8 is arranged to ensure the angular positioning of the second pinion 6.
  • the first and second date pinions 5, 6 are driven by a driving wheel set 9 kinematically connected to the going train of the movement of the timepiece for its driving at the speed of one step per day (around midnight).
  • the driving wheel 9 is kinematically connected to the first date disc 1 for its drive in a first direction (counterclockwise in the figures), while it is kinematically connected to the second date disc 2 for its drive in a second direction opposite to the first (clockwise in the figures).
  • the driving wheel set 9 comprises a first driving wheel 91 and a second driving wheel 92 which are coaxial, superposed and integral with each other.
  • the first driving wheel 91 has a toothless sector 911 and a toothed sector 912 comprising sixteen teeth and the second driving wheel 92 has a toothless sector 921 and a toothed sector 922 comprising seventeen teeth (see figure 11 ).
  • the first drive wheel 91 cooperates with an intermediate transmission 4 which itself meshes with the first pinion 5.
  • the second drive wheel 92 cooperates directly with the second pinion 6.
  • the driving mobile 9 when the driving mobile 9 completes a full revolution (31 steps), it drives the first date disc 1 alone for 12 steps in a first direction, then the two discs simultaneously in opposite directions for 3 steps (the notches 11, 21 occupying the place of 3 markers), then the second date disc 2 alone for 13 steps in a second direction opposite to the first and finally the two discs simultaneously in opposite directions for 3 steps.
  • the figures 1 to 10 illustrate this operation.
  • the figures 1 to 4 illustrate the transition from the 2nd to the 5th of the month.
  • the date displayed through the window 3 is the 2 carried by the second date disc 2.
  • the notch 11 of the first date disc 1 is opposite the said window 3.
  • the first and second date discs 1, 2 are driven simultaneously via the toothed sectors 912, 922 of the first and second drive wheels 91, 92 which cooperate respectively with the transmission 4 and the second pinion 6.
  • the first date disc 1 pivots in a first direction while that the second disc 2 pivots in a second direction opposite to the first.
  • the date displayed through window 3 passes to 3 carried by the second date disc 2, while the first date disc 1 has also taken a step but its notch 11 is still opposite window 3 ( figure 2 ).
  • the second date disc 2 pivots in the second direction into a position in which its notch 21 is now opposite the window 3, while the first date disc 1 pivots by one step in the first direction in a position in which the mark 4 of this first disc 1 is displayed through the window 3 ( picture 3 ).
  • the second date disc 2 pivots in the second direction into a position in which its notch 21 is still opposite the aperture 3, while the first date disc 1 pivots in the first direction a step in a position in which marker 5 is now displayed through window 3 ( figure 4 ).
  • the toothless sector 921 of the second drive wheel 92 now cooperates with the second pinion 6.
  • the second date disc 2 remains stationary, while the first disc 1 pivots in the first direction, still driven by the toothed sector 912 of the first drive wheel 92, ensuring the passage from 5 to 17 (passing in particular through 13 as illustrated in figure 5 ).
  • the second date disc 2 will remain stationary during the successive steps of the driving wheel set 9 ( figure 5 and 6 ) until the toothed sector 922 of the second drive wheel 92 again cooperates with the second pinion 6. At this time, the date displayed through the aperture 3 is the 17 carried by the first date disc 1 ( figure 6 ).
  • the first and second date discs 1, 2 are driven simultaneously in their respective direction of rotation: the date displayed through the window 3 changes to 18 carried by the first date disc 1, while the second date disc 2 has also taken a step but its notch 21 is still opposite the aperture 3 ( figure 7 ).
  • the first date disc 1 pivots in the first direction into a position in which its notch 11 is now opposite the window 3, while the second date disc 2 pivots by one step in the second direction in a position in which the mark 19 is displayed through the window 3 ( figure 8 ).
  • the first date disc 1 pivots in the first direction in a position in which its notch 11 is still opposite the window 3, while the second date disc 2 pivots by one step in the second direction in a position in which the mark 20 is now displayed through the window 3 ( figure 9 ).
  • the toothless sector 911 of the first driving wheel 91 cooperates with the intermediate transmission 4.
  • the first disc 1 remains stationary, while the second disc 2 pivots in the second direction, still driven by the toothed sector 922 of the second driving wheel 92, ensuring the change from 20 to 2 (passing in particular through 26 as illustrated in figure 10 ). Back to 2, the cycle can resume.
  • the date display mechanism is therefore a display of the “big date” type offering large markers and therefore readable without magnification means, displayed in a single window, without separation between the tens and the units or variation in height between the various marks displayed whether the marks are carried by the first or the second date disc 1, 2 thus offering a very readable and aesthetic display.
  • the construction of the mechanism is simple.
  • the date display mechanism described above could of course include a date correction mechanism, manual or automatic, in particular for the passage from the 30th to the 1st of the month or from the 28th or 29th to the 1st of the month.
  • the calendar display mechanism above has been described by way of example only and the present invention can be applied to a large number of displays such as the display of the number of the week, a time display, phases moon, month...
  • the display mechanism for a timepiece comprises an aperture, a first display disc and a second display disc, the display discs being coplanar and each bearing markers.
  • the window is arranged on the line of the centers of the first and second display discs.
  • the display mechanism is arranged to allow the first and second display discs to be driven in rotation in opposite directions and in the same plane so as to successively display the marks of the first display disc then the marks of the second disc display through the counter.
  • the first and second display discs each have a solid part characterized by a first, respectively second outer radius and a recess or notch.
  • the markers carried by each of the discs are distributed over their solid part.
  • the first and second discs are arranged so that the distance between their center is strictly less than the sum of the first and second external radii.
  • the notches are each shaped so that when the notch of a disc is opposite the aperture, it can contain the solid part of the other disc so that the first and second discs can be coplanar without overlapping.
  • the first and second display discs 1, 2, and their solid part have essentially the same outer radius (discs of similar size).
  • the first and second outer radii of the solid parts of the first and second discs may be different and will be chosen according to the type of display or the position of the aperture on the dial (at 6 o'clock, at 3 o'clock, etc.). which could require having one disc larger than the other.
  • the notches of each of the discs can also vary according to the size of the first and second discs.
  • the notches could have the shape of a dish (following a chord for example), an arc of a circle or a “pie chart”, that is to say a truncated sector down to the center of the disc. They could also be different in shape and/or in size from one disk to another.
  • the window and the display discs are arranged so that, when a marker is displayed in the window, a portion of the disc bearing said marker extends under the entire window in order to ensure an aesthetic visual without parasitic geometry (void or edge of the disc which would be visible through the window).
  • the markers are arranged on each of the first and second display discs so that the two circles passing substantially one through the center of the markers of the first disc and the other through the center of the markers of the second disc intersect a point located essentially in the center of the wicket. This makes it possible to ensure the centering of the markers in the window when they are displayed.
  • the size of the markers of the first and second display discs is identical even if their number may vary between one disc and the other, as illustrated in the embodiment above.
