  • the pull tab 10 holds the rocker 14 in position so that the sliding pinion 6 remains engaged with the first gear 8.
  • the fourth function can be actuated by rotating the control rod 2 in a clockwise direction, via the sliding pinion 6, the first gear 8, the cog 32, 34, the second mobile 20 and the fourth mobile 24, as shown in Figure 9 .
  • control rod 2 is pushed back once again, from its second to its first position, so that the pull tab 10 pivots at A to return to its initial position.
  • the rocker 14 also returns to its initial position under the effect of its spring, by moving the sliding pinion 6 which returns to cooperate with the winding pinion 4.
  • its pin 40 falls from the top of the cam 42 so that the actuation rocker 16 is no longer constrained and returns to its neutral position, central between the first and second drive positions, by means of its rocker spring (not shown). All elements return to their position from the figure 1 .
  • the actuation rocker 16 is again moved away from the wheels 26 and 28 and the second mobile 20 is not active, so that none of the first, second, third and fourth functions can be activated.
  • control rod With the winding function in the first position and the time setting function in the third position, the control rod allows six different functions to be operated using a single control rod, respecting the sequences described above .
  • first and second mobiles 18, 20 arranged to operate the functions bidirectionally, so that a function can be selected and operated when the control rod has been pulled from its first to its second position, and another function can be selected and activated when the control rod has been pushed from its third to its second position, i.e., with winding and setting the time, four functions grouped on a single control rod, respecting the sequences described above.
  • the actuation rocker used in the present invention being pivotally mounted between two drive positions on either side of the neutral axis and carrying, on each side of the neutral axis, at least two, and in particular four mobiles to actuate at least two, and in particular four different mechanisms, said mechanisms can then be arranged practically anywhere in the movement since they are reachable from both sides of the neutral axis during the pivoting of the actuation rocker relative to to its neutral position, in one direction or the other on either side of said neutral axis.
  • the invention allows you to benefit from great freedom of arrangement of these mechanisms within the movement or caliber. This makes it possible, for example, to obtain a smaller caliber while the number of functions to be operated by the same control rod is large.
  • the control stem is advantageously a three-position winding stem, the selection and actuation device according to the invention being able to be easily put in place without modifying the basic mechanism of the stem.
