T 0 all whom it may concern: l dial o3 forming the face of the watch or clock Be it known that I, JOSEPH BUR'riN, and upon which the hours and minutes are watchmaker, a citizen of France7 residing at i indicated in the usual manner. The watch Charquemont,Departinent of Doubs,France, l plate o is cut away or recessed at its lower have invented new and useful Im rovements ortion which cut away or recessed portion in and Relating to Watches, o which the l is occupied by a removably mounted section following is a specification. l 0* provided with a centrally disposed opening This invention relates to im roveinents in l 05 adapted to accommodate portions of the Watch or clock movements olP that class in l device of my invention hereinafter described. which the balance and escapement wheels are mounted upon a rotatable member and wherein rotation of the member causes bodily movement of the escapement and balance l scribed in detail. The hour hand sis mount- Wheels and wherein such borlily movement l ed on a cannon o provided with a wheel 2 serves to impart axial movement to said adapted to mesh with and be driven from a l wlieels and the usual mechanism associated therewith. :c which latter meshes with a pinion u.

The invention has for its object the provil inion t to the shank t2 of which the minute sion of a movement of this character wherein Band t is secured meshes with and is driven the construction is simplified and the efiifrom the pinion The pinion u is fast with ciencg,T is increased and whereby the renewal k l meshes with the spring barrel pinion a from of parts in case of repair and breakage and which it is driven. The arbor c also caroriginal assembling is facilitated and simf plified. ries a pinion d adapted to mesh with a pinion The invention will be more fully described e mounted on arbor e/ and the latter carries a in connection with the accompanjsv ing drawl gear wheel f which meshes with a main ings and will be more particularlyY pointed pinion g mounted upon the main arbor n out and ascertained in and by the appended which latter is mounted at one end at n in claims. the pillar plate o and at its other end at n2 in In the drawings z-Figure 1 is a view in l side elevation of a watch movement embodyl a fixed bridge p.

porting and operating member preferably iii the form of a ring m which as shown is sel cured by a support n4 to a hub ai. From the foregoing it will be clear how power is transmitted from the spring barrel pinion ai to the hands s and t and to the operating member or ring m. I will next describe the relation of the operating ring m to the bal- 3-3 oil Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged elevation of a portion of the movement to which the device of my invention is applied.

Like characters of reference designate f similar parts throughout the di'tl'erent iigures of the drawings.

The device of my invention will now be described in detail with reference to the s eciiic embodiment shown but it will be un( erstood that I do not wish to be limited to such specific showing except for such limitations l as the claims import. l As shown o designates a pillar plate dis- 1 The balance wheel, which is designated by l is provided with an impulse pin l and is l mounted upon an arbor Z4. Said balance l wheel is mounted that one side of the main l arbor n at one end in the ring m at l5 and at its other end at Z in a balance wheel arbor bridge l2 mounted upon the ring m. An escapement lever k is mounted upon an escapenient arbor k disposed with respect to the main arbor n, and mounted at one end at 165 in the support n* and at its other end at k6 in an escapement bridge 'm2 which latter is mounted on the iront face of the ring m. At its upper end the escapenieiit lever is posed in parallel relation with a watch plate o. A dial plate o2 is mounted upon the watch plate o and is recessed to receive a pinion y. The pinion y is fixed to a pinion.l

provided with the usual fork c and at its ing with the rack h will ower end it is provided With pallets k2 adapted to co erate with an escapement Wheel y'. The escapement Wheel y' is mounted upon an arbor y" Which iinds a bearing at one end at jg in the escapement bridge m2 and at its other end at f3 in a supporting bridge m which latter is mounted upon the rear face of the ring m. The arbor y" carries an escapement pinion b Which latter like the' escapement Wheel y', is rigidly secured to said arbor j. A rack h provided'with peripheral teeth and preferably of circular formation is rigidly mounted to any suitable stationary part such as h having arms h2 fixed to a suitable stationary part, and is concentrically disposed with respect to the main arbor n. The pinion b which is also disposed on the ring m at one side of the main arbor is located in a manner to mesh With the rack h When the ring m is rotated.

The operation Will be obvious from the foregoing. As povver is applied to the main arbor u the ring m Will be rotated and will bodily rotate the pinion 5 Which latter meshbe axially rotated on the arbor j. Such rotation will be imparted to the escapement Wheel jand movement of the latter through the escapement lever and balance Wheel will be intermittently eiiected in the usual manner.

I claim 1. A Watch movement comprising in combination, a barrel pinion, a main arbor driven from said pinion, stationary parts in which said arbor is mounted, a ring .mounted on said main arbor, a balance Wheel bridge mounted on said ring, a balance Wheel provided With an arbor and an impulse pin, said arbor being mounted in said plate and balance bridge concentrically with respect to said main arbor, an escapement lever provided With an arbor, an escapement lever bridge mounted on said ring, said escapement lever arbor being mounted in said escapement bridge and said rin said escapement lever being provided W1th a fork engaging said impulse pin and having pallets, an escapement Wheel adapted to coperate with sald pallets and concentrically disposed With respect .to said main arbor, an arbor for said escapement Wheel, an escapement p1nion mounted on said escapement arbor, a

arbor, a balance Wheel carried by said ring,-

an escapement lever carried by said ring and coperatingwith said balance Wheel, an escapement Wheel carried by said ring and cooperating With said escapement lever, an escapement pinion for said escapementwheel, and a stationary rack meshing With said escapement pinion and located inside the path of bodily movement of said escapementpinion.

3. A Watch movement comprising in combination, 'a barrel pinion, a main arbor driven from said pinion, fixed bearings for said arbor an operating member carried by said main arbor, escapement and balance mechanisms mounted on said operating member, and stationary means operatively associated with and located inside the path of bodily movement of the escapement mechanism.

4. A Watch or clock movement comprising in combination, a main arbor, fixed bearings therefor, means for driving said arbor, an operating member carried by said arbor, movement mechanism mounted on said operating member, and stationary means operatively associated With said mechanism to drive the same When said member is operated.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this speciiication in two subscribing Witnesses.
