Abstract

La pièce d'horlogerie comprend un boîtier (9) avec une partie fixe (10) sous forme d'un brancard (20) et une partie mobile (11) avec une carrure (21) et un mouvement (23) montés de façon pivotante sur la partie fixe (10) suivant un axe de pivotement (32) grâce à des pivots (31) pour effectuer un mouvement de basculement de la partie mobile (11) suivant deux sens opposés. Deux mécanismes d'actionnement (44, 45) sont montés dans la carrure (21) et destinés à transformer les mouvements de basculement en une action sur deux organes de commande de fonctions du mouvement qui peut être du type chronographe. On obtient ainsi une pièce d'horlogerie sans boutons-poussoirs, d'un fonctionnement précis, d'une grande solidité et d'un maniement aisé.

The timepiece comprises a housing (9) with a fixed part (10) in the form of a stretcher (20) and a movable part (11) with a middle (21) and a movement (23) pivotally mounted. on the fixed part (10) following a pivot axis (32) by means of pivots (31) for effecting a tilting movement of the movable part (11) in two opposite directions. Two actuating mechanisms (44, 45) are mounted in the middle part (21) and intended to transform the tilting movements into an action on two function control members of the movement which can be of the chronograph type. This gives a timepiece without push buttons, a precise operation, great strength and easy handling.
