Description

490600 五、發明説明(1 ) 本發明係關於時計包括:0至1 2小時顯示,分顯示 ,時區顯示(關於位於相互經由1 8 0 °所分開之兩個時 區中之兩地理位置),相當於經由小時顯示所顯示之小 時,一種AM/PM顯示(用以區別先前各小時與隨著太陽 越過子午線後之各小時),一個指示器用以指示兩個時 區所顯不之小時是在越過子午線前或後之小時,逐步驅 動構件用以移動小時顯示和A M / P Μ指示的元件及一個 搖桿用以同時校正小時顯示、時區顯示和A Μ / Ρ Μ指示 器,能在兩個極限位置間移動,及經由復原彈簧予以維 持在兩極限位置之一中。 有數種的機構用以選擇性顯示時間係時區的一個函 數。因此,FR 2 752 628專利案係關於此型的一種錶其 中小時經由針及經由圓盤予以顯示,圓盤指示(以2 4小 時刻度)相當於不同城市者之當地時間。不同時區的城 市表示係由一旋轉圓盤所產生。一種校正機構,意欲自 一個時區轉到另一時區,連接24-小時圓盤,具有指示 城市之時區圓盤及時間信號以如此方式以便隨著每次校 正,使城市圓盤和小時圓盤實施1 /24th旋轉。 經由觀看24小時圓盤和相對應之城市,此種系統能 確定星球上不同區域的當地時間。此種顯示模式的缺點 之一係由該項事實引起:在世界上的大多數國家中,特 別是所有講英語的國家,人們並不習慣於通過24小時 制度來記數一天的小時數。例如,甚至在其他國家中, 通常,一般說法是較容易說2 PM而非1 4小時,以致 490600 五、發明説明(2 ) 以24小時刻度顯示小時之手錶不能產生通用的標準指 示,即使它是可理解的。 另外缺點係來自該事貫:隨著劃分爲24個時區,角 空間僅是1 5 ° ,以致在手錶的情況中,指示屬於個別 時區之城市極爲緊縮而因此,指示必須以極小的文字來 書寫而因此難以閱讀。 然而,所熟知系統的主要缺點基本上係自校正機構 所引起。特別地,當改變時區時,必須按校正推進器而 移動小時指示和時區指示。所熟知機構中之主要鏈節係 通過齒輪和槓桿而獲得。校正係自經施加在控制搖桿之 校正推進器上之壓力而直接產生,設計搖桿來驅動整個 主要鍵,目的在同時校正小時及時區等兩指示器。 在促動之情況中,其必然不正確,但雖然如此係屬 可能,可能發生:兩指示器中只有一個被校正,因此引 起誤差在整個時區中時間的顯示方面。如果此誤差發生 ,則不可能經由校正時區之推進器來校正它。因此,人 們不得不經由捲繞和設定時間之柄來校正它,以致失去 經由推進器而快速校正之優點。事實上,此誤差係由不 完全壓接校正之推進器而產生。特別,自推進器的行程 直接產生之校正,經常可能的是:時常,使用人可能未 施加充分壓力用於同時校正而發生。即使此項機會甚小 ,在除去經由捲繞柄以外,不能將它校正之範圍內,它 具有不利之結果。 本發明的目的在補救(至少部份地)上述各缺點。 - 4- 490600 五、發明説明(3 ) 因此,本發明的主題是上述型式的時計,其如申請 專利範圍第1項中所界定者。 經由本發明所建議之解決方式的主要優點在於該項 事實:校正不是自經施加在校正推進器上之壓力而直接 產生,而是校正係經由緊固復原彈簧予以產生,且僅如 果此緊固是完全,換言之,如果校正搖桿的指狀物自用 以驅動顯示的移動元件之逐步驅動構件的齒輪之齒(將 它囑合在其中)被逐出,進行通過此齒輪之齒中之一個 齒。如果推進器上之壓力不完全及如果搖桿的指狀物不 進行通過此構件的齒輪之齒中之齒以便逐步驅動顯示的 可移動之元件,則復原彈簧鬆驰不會驅動驅動構件而不 會有任何校正發生。在此情況中,使用人可立即了解: 未造成校正而爲了作成校正,他僅須將推進器更進--步 壓下。因此,隨著促動校正之推進器後,沒有偶然的偏 移可能發生在時間的顯示與時區的指示間。 另外優點係由該項事實而產生:將小時以24刻度予 以顯示且將180°分開之兩個時區同時顯示,AM/P Μ 顯示和指示器顯示:與此等ΑΜ/ΡΜ指示有關之區域’ 而能不必須憑藉24小時刻度而避免讀出時間指示的任 何誤差。 下列之敘述係藉附隨圖式其圖示式舉例說明之助及 經由實例而產生,時計的機構之具體實施例是本發明之 主題。 第1圖是此具體實施例的顯示機構之分解透視圖, 490600 五、發明説明(4 ) 第2圖是具有分解之標度盤和指針之第丨圖機構的 組合透視圖;

Description of the invention (1) The invention relates to a timepiece including: 0 to 12 hours display, minute display, time zone display (about two geographical locations in two time zones separated by 180 ° from each other), equivalent An hour display through the hour display, an AM / PM display (to distinguish between the previous hours and the hours after the sun crosses the meridian), and an indicator to indicate that the hours shown in the two time zones are crossing the meridian Before or after the hour, the component is gradually driven to move the component of the hour display and AM / PM indicator and a joystick to simultaneously correct the hour display, time zone display and AM / PM indicator, which can be at two extreme positions Between movements, and maintained in one of two extreme positions by a return spring. There are several mechanisms for selectively displaying time as a function of time zone. Therefore, the FR 2 752 628 patent is a watch of this type, in which the hours are displayed by hands and by a disc, and the disc indication (on a 24-hour scale) is equivalent to the local time of people in different cities. The city representation in different time zones is generated by a rotating disc. A correction mechanism intended to be transferred from one time zone to another, connected to a 24-hour disc with a time zone disc indicating the city and a time signal in such a way that the city disc and hour disc are implemented with each correction 1 / 24th rotation. By looking at the 24-hour disk and the corresponding city, this system can determine the local time in different areas of the planet. One of the shortcomings of this display mode is caused by the fact that in most countries of the world, especially all English-speaking countries, people are not accustomed to counting the hours of a day through the 24-hour system. For example, even in other countries, in general, it is generally easier to say 2 PM instead of 14 hours, so that 490600 V. Description of the invention (2) Watches displaying hours on a 24-hour scale cannot produce a universal standard indication, even if It is understandable. Another disadvantage comes from the same thing: with the division into 24 time zones, the angular space is only 15 °, so that in the case of a watch, indicating that the cities belonging to individual time zones are extremely tight, so the instructions must be written in very small words It's hard to read. However, the main disadvantages of the known systems are basically caused by self-calibration mechanisms. In particular, when the time zone is changed, the hour indication and time zone indication must be moved by correcting the thruster. The main links in known mechanisms are obtained by gears and levers. Calibration is directly generated by the pressure on the calibration thruster of the control rocker. The rocker is designed to drive the entire main key. The purpose is to simultaneously calibrate the two indicators such as the hour and time zone. In the case of actuation, it must be incorrect, but although it is possible, it may happen that only one of the two indicators is corrected, thus causing an error in the display of time in the entire time zone. If this error occurs, it is not possible to correct it via the thruster that corrects the time zone. Therefore, people have to correct it by winding and setting the time handle, so that the advantage of rapid correction by the propeller is lost. In fact, this error is caused by impellers with incomplete crimp correction. In particular, the correction directly generated by the travel of the self-propelled propeller is often possible: often, the user may fail to apply sufficient pressure for simultaneous correction. Even if this opportunity is small, it has unfavorable results beyond the range where it cannot be corrected except by the winding handle. The object of the present invention is to remedy (at least in part) the above disadvantages. -4- 490600 V. Description of the invention (3) Therefore, the subject matter of the present invention is the timepiece of the above type, which is as defined in item 1 of the scope of patent application. The main advantage of the proposed solution via the present invention lies in the fact that the correction is not generated directly from the pressure applied to the correction thruster, but rather the correction is generated via a fastening return spring, and only if this fastening It is complete, in other words, if the finger of the correction rocker is expelled from the gear of the stepwise driving member used to drive the moving element of the display (involving it), it passes through one of the teeth of this gear . If the pressure on the thruster is incomplete and if the fingers of the rocker do not pass through the teeth of the gear's teeth in order to gradually drive the displayed movable element, the return spring slack will not drive the drive member without No correction will occur. In this case, the user can immediately understand: In order to make the correction without causing the correction, he only needs to push the thruster further-step down. Therefore, no accidental offset may occur between the display of the time and the indication of the time zone as the corrective thruster is activated. Another advantage arises from the fact that the hour is displayed on 24 scales and the two time zones separated by 180 ° are displayed simultaneously, the AM / PM display and indicator display: the area related to these AM / PM indications' It is not necessary to rely on the 24-hour scale to avoid any error in reading the time indication. The following descriptions are generated through the help of the examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings and examples, and the specific embodiment of the timepiece mechanism is the subject of the present invention. Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the display mechanism of this specific embodiment. 490600 V. Description of the invention (4) Figure 2 is a combined perspective view of the mechanism of the first figure with a disassembled dial and pointer; Figure 3 is Perspective view of a display mechanism with some combinations of parts omitted; Figure 4 is another perspective view of a display mechanism with partially cut-out combinations; Figures 5-7 are in the three stages of the calibration step. Partial plan view of the display mechanism; Figures 8-10 are plan views of various displays during the calibration phase illustrated by Figures 5-7. The timepiece illustrated by FIG. 1 includes a conventional moving mechanism 1 to which a plate 2 of a universal time display mechanism is attached and fixed by a screw 3. As is customary, the watch movement mechanism 1 has a split gear train including a hollow shaft pinion 4 and a split gear 5. The rest of the watch movement mechanism body is completely conventional and need not be described as long as it does not form the parts of the present invention and is not necessary for its understanding. The connection between the pinion 5a of the minute wheel 5 and the hour wheel 6 (picture 2) with the hour hand 7 (picture 2) is provided by the wheel 8 (picture 1) which is sunk with the pinion 5a of the minute wheel 5. The result is that the disc 9 is fixed to it via the screw 10 (8). This disc 9 has a pawl 11 which is pressed by springs 12 into the teeth of a star gear of 12 teeth of a pinion 13 fixed under the hour wheel 6 (Fig. 3). With this connection between the split wheels 4, 5 and the time wheel 6, during the time zone change, the latter can be separated from this train and regained the angular position offset by a number of 30 ° after changing the time zone ( The position it occupies at the moment of correction), and in its -6-490600 V. Description of invention (5) In other cases, it is normally driven via the sub-wheel train 5,5,5a. As exemplified by FIG. 3, the hour wheel 6 is irradiated with the wheel 14 having the driving pointer 1 4 a, and is intended to rotate with the star having the disc 16 every 24 hours during each rotation of the wheel 14. The small pinion 15 (picture 7) performs the agreement (picture 7), and the disc 16 is alternately indicated AM / PM (the abbreviations represent the hours before and after the sun crosses the meridian, respectively). These indications appear in the aperture 17 of the dial 18 (Fig. 2, 8-10) and change every 12 hours. Therefore, all the indications of the time or the derivative of time described so far are kinematically connected to the standard minute wheel train 4,5,5a of the watch. If necessary, they can be changed in a completely standard way through customary time setting mechanisms (not described or represented in this article). The timepiece described includes two additional displays, both of which are independent of the minute trains 4, 5, and 5a, but must be kinematically connected to the hour hand 7 and to the AM / PM disc 16 during time zone correction. This includes a ring-shaped passage 19 provided with the teeth 19a of the internal gear and fixed thereon a ring-shaped passage 20 having the names of cities representing 24 time zones (the words of each city are arranged according to two concentric rings) . The outer diameter and the inner diameter of the opposite cities appear in the two apertures 21, 22 arranged at 12 o'clock, respectively, at 6 o'clock on the dial 18 (Figure 2). The outer cities of the ring (which are located 180 ° from one city of the inner ring) are in two time zones separated by 180 °, so that the hour indicated by hour hand 7 is equivalent to the hours before the sun crosses the meridian (about the two cities) (One of them) and the hours equivalent to the hour after the sun crosses the meridian (another -7-490600 about these cities. V. Invention Description (6) ~). Furthermore, it is appropriate to refer to the existence of the driving dowel 19b, which protrudes on the surface of the annular passage 19 ', and its function will be explained later. In order to determine the indicator AM, PM is associated with one of the two cities, and an indicator composed of a disc having an arrow 23a is pivotally mounted on the mandrel 24. The lower face of this disc is connected to a pinion with teeth 25 of a star gear positioned via a long chisel 26. Similarly, the pinion 15 of the teeth of the star gear is connected to a disc 16 positioned by a long chisel 27 (FIG. 7). The endless path 19 is guided on the plate 2 via a roller 29 conforming to its outer edge. The teeth 19a of the internal gear of this annular path 19 are sunk with the small wheels 28 (Fig. 4), and the teeth 19a of this gear are positioned by a long chisel 30 loaded by a spring 31. The pinion 28 is connected to the pinion 3 2 which is chewed with the pinion 3 3 and is concentric with the 3 2, and is connected (and concentric with it) to the correction star 34 positioned by the long chisel 35 (No. 3-7 Figure). This corrected star 3 4 is intended to match the time wheel 6. However, as exemplified in Fig. 3, when it is positioned via the long chisel 35, its teeth pass through the trajectory of the teeth of the gears of the hour wheel 6 so that the latter can rotate freely. As illustrated in Figure 3 and Figures 5-7, the calibration star 34 is aligned with the calibration rocker 36, while the rocker 36 is connected with the recovery spring 37 and controlled by the thruster (not shown). Actuate the joysticks 3 8 to align them. In the rest position, the correction joystick 36 occupies the position illustrated by FIG. 5, in which position its driving fingers 36 a (pictures 3 and 5) are ordered into the teeth of the correction star 34 in. 490600 V. Description of the invention (7) During the normal operation of the watch, the hour hand 7 and the minute hand m (picture 2) each rotate normally resulting in one revolution of twelve hours and sixty minutes. Each time, the hour hand 7 and the hour wheel 6 carrying it cause a rotation, and the wheel 14 and its driving fingers also cause a rotation so that the star pinion 15 carrying the AM / PM disc is driven in one step. The AM or PM indications appearing in the aperture 17 of the dial 18 are changed because these indications alternate on the disc 16. Suppose: two cities located in 180 ° apart, two cities in two time zones are visible in apertures 21 and 22, then arrow 23a appears through an aperture 39 (Fig. 2, 8-10) indicating: appears in aperture 17 The AM or PM indication is related to the city shown in the aperture 21 or 22. Obviously: as long as the time zone does not change, the indications appearing in the apertures 21, 22, 39, etc. do not change, only A M, P M indicates that it changes every 12 hours. If possible, it is carried by the circular path 20 through viewing The engraved text is visible (picture 2), and the cities indicated are arranged according to the neighboring time zone except the following: Noum0a followed by London, and the diameter of Fiji and Azores They are each located in an area separated by 180 °. Explanation will now be made by referring to FIGS. 5-7 and 8-10: how the crossover occurs in these time intervals separated by 12 regions, each of which shows: in FIG. 5-7 Various display positions during the illustrated calibration steps. Figure 5 shows the mechanism at rest. All the pinions of the star gears 1, 25, 34 and the teeth 19a of the gears are cut by their respective long chisels 26, 490600. 5. Description of the invention (8) 2 7, 3 0 With 3 5 to be positioned. Therefore, the indications appearing in each of the apertures 17, 2 1, 22, and 39 are illustrated by way of example in FIG. 8. By pressing the joystick 38, the calibration joystick 36 is caused to move from its rest position (illustrated in FIG. 5) to the second extreme position (illustrated in FIG. 6). From the position shown in FIG. 5 to the position shown in FIG. 6, at the end of the process, the driving finger 36 a of the correction rocker 36 touches a tooth of the correction star 3 4 so that it moves the star 3 slightly. 4 favors a small part of its steps. After the fingers 36a pass, the long chisel 35 returns the correction star 34 to its original position, as can be seen in FIG. During this progress of the calibration rocker 36, the return spring 37 is tightened. In Fig. 6, it can be seen that when the correction rocker 36 is terminated, its driving finger 36a is located just behind the teeth of the correction star 34 and moved during its progress from its rest position to its other extreme positions The fingers are exemplified by this FIG. 6. It is assumed that the driving finger 36a of this rocker 36 may not be located in the calibration after the pressure applied to the actuating rocker 38 is not enough to bring the calibration rocker 36 into the position illustrated by FIG. 6. Behind the teeth of the star 34, as illustrated by FIG. 6, but before this tooth. By releasing the pressure exerted on the actuating rocker 28, the spring 3 7 is restored to return the calibration rocker 36 to the position illustrated by FIG. 5 without any correction. In order for calibration to occur, the calibration joystick 36 must be brought to the position illustrated by way of example in FIG. At this time, when the actuating rocker 3 8 is released, the restoring spring 37 is relaxed, and the correction rocker 36 is driven. Then drive -10- 490600 V. Description of the invention (9) Move the finger to correct the star 3 4 and connect the coaxial pinion 3 3 to it through one step of the star 34. Figure 7 illustrates the mechanism during this movement, and Figure 9 shows the corresponding positions of the various displays. The hour wheel 6 is driven about 30 ° (in the direction of arrow F!) Via a correction star 3 4 rotated in the direction of arrow F by about 60 °. The wheel 14 (which is a ratio of 1/1 to the time wheel 6) and its driving finger 1 4a also rotates about 3 (in the direction of arrow F2). If this correction is made close to the sun crossing the meridian, the driving finger 1 4 a will move (in the direction of arrow F 3) the star pinion 1 5 to move the A M / P M disk 16. By means of the pawl 11 and the spring 12, the hour wheel 6 can be moved relative to the minute wheel train 4, 5, 5 a (Fig. 1) without moving the minute hand m. At the same time as the calibration time, the pinion 3 2 is driven via the pinion 3 3 connected to the calibration star 3 4. Choose the order ratio so that the pinion 3 3 moves about 60 ° in the direction of arrow F, and the pinion 3 2 moves about 90 ° in the direction of arrow F4 so that the pinion 2 8 drives the toothed ring in the direction of arrow F5. Path 19 is about 30 °. Assumption: The change of the time zone described here is that it jumps 12 time zones from Noum0a to London, and the wooden nail 19b (which protrudes on the surface of the toothed annular passage 19) is on the toothed During this movement of the annular passage 19, it hits the edge of the disk 23 with the arrow 23a in the direction of the arrow F5. This disc 2 3 has a notch 2 3 b at its edge, and using it, the dowel 19 b can be chewed with the disc 23 to drive it so as to change the direction of the arrow 2 3 a in the aperture 39. As can be seen from Figures 8 and 10, when traversing from NoumSa / Azores to London / Fiji, the aperture is reversed 39 -11- 490600 V. Direction of the arrow in the description of the invention (10). This representation: In Figure 8, the pm indicator refers to Azores so that at the same time, the Noumea hour is equivalent to the sun crossing the meridian, that is, each hour. Suppose that the progress from No. a to London involves crossing over not one but 12 time zones, then the arrow 23a appearing in the aperture 39 has reversed the indication: about the AM / The PM indication is no longer related to the bottom aperture 22 but to the top aperture 21. It is clear that the correction of the arrow 2 3 a appearing in the aperture 39 occurs only during this crossover corresponding to the twelve time zone. For this purpose, the toothed annular passage 19 does not have anything other than the dowels 19b. In all other cases, this change is equivalent to a one-hour change, so that only the hour hand 7 is moved by about 30 °. If the hour hand is between Π and 12 o'clock, the AM / PM disc 16 can also be moved, and at the same time, the toothed circular path 19 and the urban circular path 20 connected to it can move about 30 ° Display: The cities of two other time zones separated by 180 ° are indicated in the apertures 21, 22.
