  • FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C are schematic views of the fractional second indicator of a display device according to a first particular embodiment of the invention. These three figures respectively show the fractional seconds indicator in its configuration, following reset, following start-up, and following stop of the chronograph.
  • Each of the figures shows a pinion 123, a retrograde needle 1 15 rigidly mounted on the axis of the pinion, a series of graduations arranged along a circular arc so as to form a scale 1 19, a snail 125 mounted on the axis of a second fraction counter mobile (not shown), so as to rotate integrally with the latter, a rake 127 provided with a toothed sector 129, and a feeler 131 rigidly mounted on the rake.
  • the aforementioned figures also show a column wheel 135 comprising a ratchet wheel provided with eighteen teeth 137, and six columns 139 erected on the board of the ratchet wheel.
  • the column wheel 135 is provided in particular to allow the fraction indicator of the display device to be controlled.
  • the column wheel 135 is also part of the manual control mechanism arranged to allow the cyclic start, stop, and reset all of the chronograph.
  • the manually operated mechanism of the chronograph also comprises a pusher (referenced 25 in FIG. 1) which is arranged to allow the column wheel to be incremented step by step. Each time the column wheel 135 is incremented by one step, it rotates the angular value of a ratchet tooth (i.e. 20 °) clockwise (as shown in the figures ).
  • Figures 2A, 2B and 2C illustrate the column wheel in three different angular positions.
  • the column wheel 135 if it is in the configuration shown in FIG. 2A and if it is incremented by one step, it pivots clockwise by the angular value of a ratchet tooth.
  • the column wheel is then found in the configuration shown in Figure 2B. If we now increment it by one more step, it will still rotate to find itself this time in the configuration shown in Figure 2C. Finally, if it is incremented a third time, it still pivots by the angular value of a ratchet tooth to find itself again in the configuration shown in FIG. 2A.

  • the rake is in a standby position in which the feeler 131 is kept away from the snail 125 and the toothed sector 129 is kept disengaged from the pinion 123.
  • the column wheel pivots by 20 °, so that the spout 141 of the rake 127 is forced to slide against the external face of the column 139.
  • FIG. 2B we can see that, although the spout 141 has slid against the column 139 by the angular value of a ratchet tooth, it is still in abutment against this column. The rake 127 is therefore still in the standby position, despite the start of the chronograph.
  • the column wheel pivots again by 20 °, so that this time the spout 141 falls into the space between two columns.
  • the rake 127 is then free to rotate clockwise. Referring now to FIG. 2C, it can be seen that, after the chronograph has stopped, the rake 127 is in its reading position in which the feeler 131 presses against the periphery of the snail 125, while the toothed sector 129 meshes with the pinion 123. It will be understood that, when the rake 127 is in the reading position, the angular position of the retrograde needle 1 15 is determined by that of the snail 125.
  • the column wheel 135 pivots another 20 °, so that the spout 141 is lifted by a new column 139 of the column wheel, which causes the rake to pivot 127 counterclockwise.
  • the fractional seconds indicator thus returns to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2A.

  • the distance which separates the pivot axis 153 from the control lever from the pivot axis 147 of the rack is less than the non-deformed length of the leaf spring 159.
  • the leaf spring undergoes constraints which prevent it from adopting an undistorted configuration (or in other words: straight).
  • the leaf spring 159 adopts a buckled shape (or in other words, bent by deformation in a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the two pivot axes 153 and 147).
  • stable configuration is meant a configuration which is associated with a shape to which the leaf spring always returns if it is removed by a request of sufficiently low amplitude.
  • the flare due to the buckling of the leaf spring 159 can be oriented in one direction or the other. It will therefore be understood that the leaf spring 159 can thus occupy one or the other of two stable configurations which are symmetrical.
  • one end of the leaf spring 159 is rigidly fixed to the pivot axis 153 of the control lever 151, while its other end is fixed in the same way to the pivot axis 147 of rack 145.
  • the leaf -spring recalls the rack 145 clockwise and recalls the control lever 151 counterclockwise (as illustrated in Figures 2A and 2C).
  • the leaf spring 159 recalls the rack 145 counterclockwise and recalls the control lever 151 in clockwise (as shown in Figure 2B).
  • the system constituted by the leaf spring 159, the rack 145 and the control lever 151 is a bistable system, one of the two stable configurations of the system being represented in FIGS. 2A and 2C and the other stable system configuration being shown in Figure 2B. Under these conditions, when the system occupies one of its two stable configurations and that the control lever 151 is pivoted, the entire bistable system is forced to switch and switch to the other configuration.
  • the means for bringing the retrograde hand to a first predefined position when the chronograph is reset to zero, and for bringing the retrograde hand to a second predefined position, different from the first position, when the chronograph is started, operate as follows.
  • the control lever 151 is arranged to be controlled by the column wheel 135 so as to pivot in one direction or the other between a first position in which the spout 155 is lifted by one of the columns 139 and a second position in which the spout 155 is lowered in the space between two columns.
  • the bistable system constituted by the control lever, the leaf spring 159 and the rack 145 occupies a first of these two stable configurations.

  • the column wheel pivots by 20 °, so that the spout 155 of the control lever falls into the space between two columns 139, the lever 151 thus passing into its second position.
  • FIG. 2B it can be seen that the bistable system constituted by the control lever, the leaf spring 159 and the rack 145, has passed from one to the other of these two stable configurations.
  • the rack is turned fully counterclockwise, so that it bears against the stop 149a.

  • FIG. 2C it can be seen that, after the chronograph has stopped, the bistable system constituted by the control lever, the leaf spring 159 and the rack 145, has not resumed its first configuration stable, but on the contrary is in an intermediate position which is unstable. Indeed, as we have seen, following the stop of the chronograph, the toothed sector 129 of the rake 127 meshes with the pinion 123, so that the angular position of the retrograde needle 1 15 is determined by that of the snail 125. Indeed, the force of the leaf spring 159 is chosen to be less than that of the return spring 143. Under these conditions, following stopping the chronograph, it is the pinion 123 which controls the position of the rack 145 and not the reverse.

  • the stop 454 is arranged so that the finger meets the stop when the needle 415 is above the indication "Start".
  • the stop 454 can be produced in the form of an eccentric, in order to allow the second predefined position to be adjusted more finely.
  • FIG. 5A it can be seen that following the resetting of the chronograph, the beak 453 of the hammer 445 fell between two columns of the column wheel, causing the hammer 445 to drop against the heart. The cooperation of the hammer 445 and the heart has the effect of bringing the retrograde needle 415 opposite the terminal graduation associated with the indication "zero" of the scale 419.
  • the display device of the invention is not exclusively reserved for chronographs. It can also be fitted to other types of timepieces, such as countdown mechanisms or regatta watches. As a reminder, regatta watches are equipped with a countdown to display the last minutes before the start of the competition.
