Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for correcting a number N of complications of a timepiece, N integer greater than or equal to 1, comprising a mechanism for selecting the complication to be corrected arranged to be actuated by a first control member. selection control, a corrector gear comprising at least one corrective wheel, arranged to be actuated by a second correction control member to correct the complication to be corrected selected, and N complications correction mechanisms arranged to be able to cooperate with the gear corrector to correct their respective complication.
  • Such correction devices are used in complication watches in order to be able to correct the information displayed by these various complications.
  • a complication is a function other than the display of the hours, minutes and seconds.
  • the complications to be corrected in connection with the present invention relate more particularly to “astronomical” complications, such as the indication of the date, day, month, or moon phase.
  • a watch is provided with a winding stem, capable of occupying a first position, neutral, for winding, a second position, pulled out, for setting the time and a third position, pulled out for correcting the time. date for example.
  • a single complication can therefore generally be corrected by means of the winding stem.
  • different pushers In order to be able to correct the other complications, different pushers must be provided and distributed around the periphery of the watch case, the number of pushers being adapted to the number of complications to be corrected. These different pushers present on the box of watch, imposed by the number of complications, can be considered unsightly.
  • This correction device comprises a button for selecting the complication to be corrected, the actuation of which rotates a selection wheel carrying a corrective wheel in order to bring said corrective wheel into engagement with a corrective pinion of the selected complication to be corrected, said corrective wheel being moreover driven in rotation by the winding stem, in one of its two pulled positions, by means of a suitable gear train, to in turn drive said corrective pinion in order to correct said complication.
  • this device is not suitable if it is desired to eliminate the use of any push-button, and to be able to select the complication to be corrected and to correct said complication only by rotational movements of two control members.
  • This device is not suitable either if one wishes to eliminate the use of any push-button, and to keep only a single control rod, such as the winding rod, to both select the complication to be corrected and to correct said complication.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a correction device making it possible to select and correct a complication from among a plurality of complications solely by rotational movements of two selection and correction control members, by eliminating any push-button. selection and / or correction.
  • the present invention proposes a correction device making it possible to select and correct a complication from among a plurality of complications solely by rotational movements of one and the same control member, and in particular to perform the correction of all the complications. complications by the sole winding stem.
  • the present invention relates to a device for correcting a number N of complications of a timepiece, N being an integer greater than or equal to 1, comprising a mechanism for selecting the complication to be corrected arranged for be actuated by a first selection control member, a corrector gear comprising at least one corrective wheel, arranged to be actuated by a second correction control member to correct the selected complication to be corrected, and N complications correction mechanisms arranged to be able to cooperate with the corrective gear to correct their respective complication.

  • the first selection control member and the second correction control member consist of one and the same control rod, said control rod being for example the winding rod.
  • Each complication includes a correction mechanism making it possible to manually correct their indication, if necessary, for example after stopping the watch.
  • a mechanism for selecting the complication to be corrected said selection mechanism being arranged to be actuated by a first selection control member in order to choose and activate the mechanism for correcting the complication which is to be be corrected.
  • the selection mechanism has the sole function of activating the mechanism for correcting said complication.
  • the first selection control member is constituted by a control rod positioned in a selection / correction position and actuated in a direction of rotation to select the complication to be corrected and the second control member.
  • correction control is constituted by said control rod positioned in said selection / correction position and actuated in the other direction of rotation to perform the correction of the selected complication to be corrected.
  • said control rod is the movement winding stem, shown schematically under the reference 22, said winding stem 22 conventionally being able to occupy a pushed position for winding, a first pulled out position for setting the time. and a second position drawn from selection / correction.
  • the winding stem 22 comprises in a known manner a winding pinion (not shown) arranged to cooperate with a main reference 24 when the winding stem 22 is in its second pulled position for selection / correction, and whose role will be described below. after.
  • the first selection control member is constituted by a control rod positioned in a first selection position and the second correction control member is constituted by said control rod positioned in a second correction position, different from the first selection position.
  • This single control rod can advantageously be the winding rod, which will then be arranged to have four positions, namely a pushed position for winding, a first position pulled out for setting the time, a second position pulled out for selection. of the complication to be corrected and a third position drawn for the correction of said complication.

  • the selection wheel 26 is arranged to present an interior space in which are positioned all the complications, their correction mechanisms and the correcting gear.
  • the selection wheel may be in the form of a ring surrounding the movement, and in particular the complications, their correction mechanisms and the correcting gear, said ring being movable in rotation relative to the central axis of the movement.
  • the selection wheel 26 and the corrector gear are therefore independent of one another.
  • the selection wheel 26 comprises means for driving in rotation arranged to cooperate with the first selection control member for rotating said selection wheel 26.
  • a jumper 29 is provided for holding the selection wheel 26 in position.
  • the selection wheel 26 comprises a first stage carrying said means for driving in rotation.

  • the drive means comprise also a hook 32 with two arms, pivotally mounted on the plate 2 and integral with a coaxial pinion 34. The arms of the hook 32 are arranged to actuate the teeth of the internal teeth 30 during the actuation of the selection control member, here the winding rod 22, so as to cause said clockwise rotation for example said selection wheel 26 by rotation of the winding rod 22.

  • the sliding pinion 36 is arranged to mesh with the main gear 24 and to move, during the actuation of the winding rod 22, from its first selection position in which it cooperates with the pinion 34 of the hook 32 by means of a return 38 to its second correction position in which it cooperates with the first return 20a of the corrective gear. In neutral position as shown in figure 1 , the sliding pinion 36 does not cooperate either with the return 20a of the corrector gear or with the return 38 of the drive means of the selection wheel 26.
  • the number of arms of the hook 32 and the dimensions of the sliding pinion 36, of the gear 38, of the pinion 34 and of the teeth 30 are adapted in depending on the speed of rotation that it is desired to give to the selection wheel 26 when the winding stem 22 is actuated in rotation.
  • Selection indicators may be provided to indicate to the user what is the selected correction mechanism attached to the complication to be corrected.
  • Each of the correction mechanisms is arranged to proceed with the correction of the complication attached to it when said correction mechanism is actuated.
