Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a retrograde horological display mechanism of the dragging type equipped with a device for disengaging the display.
  • a retrograde mechanism is said to be a horological display mechanism which, having reached an extreme position, goes back and returns to its starting point.
  • retrograde date display mechanisms an example of which is given by a display hand which moves opposite an index on which appear the date indications from “1” to “31”. The display hand successively points to each of the date indications "1" to “31” then, when, at the end of the month, it reaches the date indication "31", it is pulled back and brought back next to the date indication "1”. Then, the display hand starts to move next to the date indications from “1” to “31”.
  • retrograde date display mechanisms when the display hand passes from one date indication to the next date indication, it must advance slightly beyond the date indication on which it must point before coming to position itself appropriately opposite this date indication.
  • timepieces of this type are often of great value and the period of a few hours during which the retrograde watchmaking display mechanism provides an erroneous indication is often perceived by owners as a fault in design or as a sign of malfunction of the timepiece.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the problem mentioned above as well as still others by providing a retrograde horological display mechanism of the dragging type which permanently displays the correct indication, in particular during its retrograde return from its extreme position towards its initial position.
  • the present invention provides a retrograde watchmaking display mechanism of the dragging type which, thanks to the presence of the release device, constantly provides the owner of the timepiece in which such a mechanism is embedded with an exact indication of the information displayed, particularly when this horological display mechanism returns retrograde from its position extreme to its initial position.
  • the retrograde horological display mechanism of the dragging type according to the invention constantly points precisely to the indication concerned, and this in particular when he is about to return to his starting point.
  • the owner of a timepiece in which a retrograde timepiece display mechanism according to the invention is embedded will at no time have the feeling that his timepiece suffers from a design defect or has a malfunction, which is very positive in terms of the owner's perception of his timepiece.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in providing a retrograde horological display mechanism of the dragging type with a disengagement device which enables this mechanism to provide an exact indication of the information displayed, in particular during the period of a few hours during which the retrograde return of this horological display mechanism takes place from its extreme position to its initial position.
  • a retrograde horological display mechanism of the conventional dragging type when the display hand passes from one indication to the following indication, this hand needs to go slightly beyond the indication, for example of the date, on which it must point before coming to position itself appropriately opposite this date indication. This is troublesome during the few hours that lasts the period during which the display mechanism is in a situation which allows its retrograde return from its extreme position to its initial position. Indeed, during this period, the display hand provides an erroneous indication, which may lead the owner of the timepiece to believe that it suffers from a design defect or is the subject of a malfunction, and in any case the owner has a bad image of his timepiece.
  • the term “direct” direction is understood to mean the direction in which the various components of the retrograde horological display mechanism rotate when the latter passes from a displayed indication to the display of the following indication
  • “retrograde” direction means the direction in which the various components of the retrograde timepiece display mechanism rotate when the latter returns retrogradely to its initial position passing from the last displayed indication to the display of the next first indication.

  • the retrograde watchmaking display mechanism 1 comprises a return element such as, without limitation, a return rake 2 elastically constrained by a return spring 4. Thanks to its return spring 4, the return rake 4 recall 2 creates in a gear train 6 a mechanical tension which, via a first, a second and a third return wheel respectively 8, 10 and 12 constrains a display pinion 14 in rotation in the counter-clockwise direction.
  • a return element such as, without limitation, a return rake 2 elastically constrained by a return spring 4. Thanks to its return spring 4, the return rake 4 recall 2 creates in a gear train 6 a mechanical tension which, via a first, a second and a third return wheel respectively 8, 10 and 12 constrains a display pinion 14 in rotation in the counter-clockwise direction.
  • the return rake 2 comprises a toothed sector 16 by which it meshes with a first pinion 18 which, with the first deflection wheel 8, forms a first mobile 20.

  • This second deflection wheel 10 itself meshes with the third deflection wheel 12.
  • the third deflection wheel 12 meshes with the pinion of display 14.
  • the number of return wheels is given here by way of example only and may be varied depending, in particular, on the size of the retrograde watch display mechanism and the space available in a box. a timepiece (not shown) in which this retrograde timepiece display mechanism 1 is embedded.

  • hand display 23 will move clockwise opposite an index 26 on which appear the date indications from "1" to "31” (see figure 4 ).
  • the retrograde horological display mechanism 1 is completed by a display wheel 28 on which the display pinion 14 is freely mounted and to which it is coaxially coupled.

This fixed display wheel 30 is mounted fixed on a bridge or a plate of the movement of the timepiece (not shown) concentrically to the pinion 14 and to the display wheel 28.
  • a jumper 34 provided with an elastic blade 35 is particularly illustrated in figure 9 .
  • This jumper 34 is carried by the display wheel 28 and presses a holding element preferably of the type of a holding finger 36 in the toothing 32 of the fixed display wheel 30.
  • This holding finger 36 carried by the display wheel 28, is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 37 and is provided with a beak 38 by which it engages in the toothing 32 of the fixed display wheel 30. It is therefore this finger holding pin 36 which permanently holds the retrograde timepiece display mechanism 1 under the tension produced by the return spring 4.
  • This holding finger 36 also comprises (see figure 10 ) a first foot 40 whose role will be detailed later.

  • the teeth of the toothing 32 have an inclined wolf-tooth profile to allow the holding finger 36 to pass from an interval between two wolf teeth to the following interval
  • the retrograde horological display mechanism 1 must allow this holding finger 36 to go slightly beyond the interval between the two wolf teeth in which it must fall before then being able to return slightly back and fall within this range. It is for this reason that, when passing from one date indication to the following date indication, the display hand 23 goes slightly beyond the date indication on which it must point before coming to position appropriately next to this date indication. During a current month, this does not pose any particular problem because the movement made by the display hand 23 beyond the date indication to which it must point is furtive and almost imperceptible by the owner of the timepiece.

Furthermore, the display disengagement rocker 48 is coupled in rotation with the display wheel 28 by means of a second pin 50 fixed in the plate 42 of this display wheel 28. As can be seen in particular on the figure 11 , the display disengagement rocker 48 also comprises an elastic blade 54 elastically bearing against a third pin 56 fixed in the board 42 of the display wheel 28.

Consequently, the display pinion 14 which is freely mounted coaxially on the display wheel 28 in turn pivots and, via the third idler wheel 12, drives the second idler wheel 10 on which was fixed the display hand 23, so that the display can pass from one indication to the next indication. Similarly, the third pin 56 comes into contact with the elastic blade 54 of the disengagement rocker of the display 48 and drives the latter in rotation.

  • the example of the display of the date indications from “1" to “31” is also given for purely illustrative and non-limiting purposes only, and that other time indications can be displayed by the mechanism of retrograde horological display 80 according to the invention, such that the number of steps taken by the display wheel 88 between two successive returns to the display of the first date indication may be different from thirty-one.
  • the display wheel 88 will advance six steps between two successive returns to the display of the indication of the day. " Monday ".
  • the display wheel 88 will advance one step per month if the display mechanism according to the invention is intended to display the months of the year.
  • this retrograde horological display mechanism 80 is finally supplemented by a period limitation element 124 fixed which has a single support surface 124a which corresponds to the duration of a month of 31 days.
  • the retrograde horological display mechanism 80 is in a situation corresponding to the display of the date indications of a month of 31 days.
  • the holding finger 98 and the display disengagement rocker 112 find themselves facing the bearing surface 124a of the period limitation 124 via their respective feet 104 and 122.
  • the retrograde horological display mechanism 80 when the retrograde horological display mechanism 80 is about to switch again to the date indication "1", the feet 104 and 122 of the holding finger 98 and of the display declutch rocker 112 are in abutment against the support surface 124a of the period limiting element 124 (see figures 24 and 25 ). In this position, the retrograde watch display mechanism 80 is not yet disengaged. Indeed, during the period of time which separates the passage of the display from the date indication “31” to the date indication “1”, the display wheel 88 is in the process of pivoting. By pivoting, this display wheel 88 drives with it via the second pin 114 the display disengagement rocker 112 which, in turn, drives the display pinion 82.
  • the display disengagement rocker 112 abuts by its foot 122 against the support surface 124a of the period limiting element 124 and remains blocked (see figures 26 and 27 ).
  • the holding finger 98 driven by the display wheel 88, it abuts by its foot 104 against this same support surface 124a of the period limiting element 124, which forces this holding finger 98 to pivot around its pivot axis 100.
  • the Holding finger 98 will thus go against the elastic force of the jumper 94 and will be able to disengage from the wolf-toothed toothing 92 of the fixed display wheel 90.
  • the display of the date indication is linked to the disengagement rocker of the display 112; in fact, by pivoting, the display wheel 88 itself drives the display disengagement rocker 112.
  • the beak 102 of the holding finger 98 is constantly in engagement with the teeth of the toothing 92 in wolf teeth, except when around midnight, this mechanism of retrograde horological display 80 passes from one date indication to the following date indication and that the holding finger 98 pivots just by the amount necessary to allow its beak 102 to pass from an interval between two teeth of the toothing 92 in wolf teeth at the immediately following interval ( figures 16 and 17 ).
  • the foot 104 of the holding finger 98 moves away from the support surface 124a of the period limiting element 124, so that the holding finger 98 tilts and its beak 102 disengages from its grip with toothing 92 in wolf teeth ( figures 26 and 27 ).
  • the figures 24 to 31 illustrate the operation of the retrograde horological display mechanism 80 at the precise moment when it goes retrograde from the date indication “31” to the date indication “1”. This movement is assisted by the cooperation between the holding finger 98 and the jumper 94. Indeed, by carefully observing the figure 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 and 36 , we see that the first pin 108 carried by the holding finger 98 gradually changes plane of contact with the jumper 94.
  • this first pin 108 begins to slide under jumper 94, and at the figure 36 which corresponds to the situation in which the retrograde horological display mechanism 80 has returned to its position initial in which it points to the date indication "1", the first pin 108 is again completely passed under the jumper 94, which allows the latter to elastically press the beak 102 of the holding finger 98 into the toothing 92 in wolf teeth.
