Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un mécanisme micromécanique (1), notamment pour un mouvement d'horlogerie (3), le mécanisme comportant un dispositif micromécanique ayant une fonction spécifique, le dispositif comportant un élément mobile (8) nécessitant d'être déplacé mécaniquement pour déclencher son fonctionnement, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un système d'actionnement du dispositif, le système d'actionnement comportant un percuteur mobile (16, 17, 18) configuré pour passer d'une position de déclenchement (19) à une position de percussion (21) dans laquelle il transmet à l'élément mobile (8) une quantité de mouvement nécessaire au déclenchement du dispositif, le système d'actionnement comportant en outre un aimant (15) configuré pour attirer le percuteur mobile (16, 17, 18) en position de percussion (21).The invention relates to a micromechanical mechanism (1), in particular for a clock movement (3), the mechanism comprising a micromechanical device having a specific function, the device comprising a mobile element (8) requiring to be moved mechanically to trigger its operation, characterized in that it comprises an actuation system for the device, the actuation system comprising a movable striker (16, 17, 18) configured to pass from a trigger position (19) to a percussion position (21) in which it transmits to the movable element (8) a quantity of movement necessary for triggering the device, the actuation system further comprising a magnet (15) configured to attract the movable striker (16, 17, 18) in the percussion position (21).

L'invention se rapporte aussi à un mouvement d'horlogerie (3) comprenant un tel mécanisme (1).
