Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. More particularly, it relates to a movement for a timepiece comprising a mechanism arranged to drive an indicator member in a periodically activated furtive rotation movement, with a predefined period.
  • the watch movement comprises a finishing gear, the mechanism further comprising a first mobile comprising a first wheel, at least indirectly engaged with the finishing gear, a second mobile mounted coaxial with the first mobile, having at least one stopping zone and a second wheel, integral in rotation, a second kinematic connection connecting the second wheel to the indicator member, an elastic member connecting the first mobile to the second mobile so that its state of charge is a function of the respective angular positions of the first and second mobile, locking means arranged to cooperate with the stopping zone of the second mobile to lock the latter in rotation between two successive movements of the indicator member.
  • the indicating member carries a sign, which may or may not be representative of a time information, this sign being made visible to a user, through a dial opening of the timepiece, only during at least part of the stealth rotation movement.
  • jumping mechanisms are known from the state of the art, in particular in motions intended to drive one or the other of the time indicating members jumping or intermittently.
  • many movements of the type called “dead second” are known in which the indicator member of the second is driven by jumps at a lower frequency than that of the time base of the movement, typically an escapement.
  • the patent US 2,591,876 presents an embodiment of a movement of this type.
  • these mechanisms use two wheels, one of which is driven continuously by the finishing train and the other only intermittently, by the discharge of an elastic member loading between two successive jumps, under the effect of the continuous rotation of the first wheel.
  • Locking means similar to an escape anchor are conventionally used to retain the second wheel between two movements, by interaction with a toothing thereof.
  • the main object of the present invention is to propose a compact and reliable alternative to the known mechanisms of the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is to display information furtively, with a speed that allows to ensure visibility.
  • the invention relates to a watch movement of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the first mobile comprises a cam, coaxial and secured to the first wheel, arranged to act on the locking means, at each period, to unlock momentarily and allow a furtive rotation of the second mobile of a predefined angle, under the effect of the elastic member.
  • the movement is further characterized by the fact that its mechanism also comprises a retarder device cooperating with the second mobile so as to limit its stealth rotation speed.
  • the watch movement can be of any known type and level of complication without its mechanism for intermittent driving of an indicator organ imposes significant constraints on its manufacturer.
  • a retarder acts on the second mobile makes it possible to limit the speed of movement of a sign carried by the indicator member, to improve its visibility with the wearer of the corresponding timepiece.
  • the second mobile comprises a control wheel in the periphery of which is formed the stopping zone, in the form of a notch.
  • the locking means comprise one, preferably two, long springs, a free end is arranged to cooperate with this notch to ensure the rotational locking of the control wheel.
  • the cam preferably has a general shape of disc of predetermined radius, less than an activation radius, defined between the axis of rotation of the second mobile and the bottom of the notch, the cam further comprising a finger located at a distance from the axis of rotation greater than the activation radius and for pushing the free end of or of one of the long springs at each period.
  • the indicator member is made of a transparent material and bears a sign representing a shooting star, the latter being superimposed on a disc indicating the phases of the Moon. Thanks to these particular characteristics, the watch movement offers an exclusive animation to the wearer of the corresponding watch, by superimposing on a display member a temporal information.
  • the present invention also relates to a timepiece in which such a movement is implemented.
  • the figure 1 partially shows a wheel center 1 driven clockwise and meshing, via two referrals 2 and 3, with a first mobile 4.
  • the first mobile comprises a pinion 5 connected to a cam 6, coaxially, and carries a first end (not visible) of a spiral spring 7.
  • the cam has a general shape of disc, of predefined radius, of which a part of the periphery is elongated to define a finger 8. Thus, in the central region of his finger, the cam has a radius greater than its mean radius.
  • the other end 9 of the spiral spring is fixed to a second mobile 10 mounted coaxially with the first mobile. More precisely the end 9 is secured to a pin 11 carried by a control wheel 12 of the second mobile. The latter also comprises a lower wheel 13 coaxial and secured to the control wheel 12.
  • the control wheel has a notch 14 intended to receive alternately the free ends 15 and 16, diametrically opposite, two arms 17, 18 of a U-shaped double long spring 19.
  • the two arms 17 and 18 extend from a common base 20, fixedly mounted on a frame member of the movement by means of a screw 21.
  • the long springs provide a locking function by interaction with the notch defining a stopping zone of the control wheel.
  • the rotation of the pinion 5 in the counterclockwise direction has the effect of cocking the spiral spring 7 until the finger 8 of the cam 6 comes to lift the free end 15 of the first arm 17 of the spring 19.
  • the wheel 12 is thus released and, subjected to the action of the spiral spring 7, is rapidly driven 180 ° in the counterclockwise direction until the free end 16 of the second arm 18 of the spring 19 falls into its notch 14 and immobilizes it.
  • the speed of rotation of the control wheel is determined by the force of the spiral spring 7 as well as its pre-setting angle.
  • an activation radius is defined as corresponding to the distance separating the center of the cam from the bottom of the notch, it is sufficient for the radius of the cam in the region of its finger to be greater than this activation radius so that it can lift the free ends of the arms 17, 18.
  • the control wheel 12 drives the lower wheel 13. It meshes with the pinion (not visible) of a wheel whose wheel 23 meshes itself with the external toothing of an indicator member comprising a wheel 24, or toothed disk, carrying a metallization 25 which represents a shooting star.
  • the mechanism is designed so that this half-turn rotation of the wheel 23 rotates the metallization of an entire turn in the counter-clockwise direction.
  • the gear ratio of the system can be chosen such that the fast motion of the shooting star occurs every six minutes, for example.
  • the disk 24 carrying the shooting star 25 is sapphire and disposed in front of the disk 26 of a moon phase display mechanism, well known to those skilled in the art. The rest position of the star is obviously hidden under the dial.
  • the arms or long springs 17, 18 also act as a retarder device of the control wheel when it is released to perform a turn around.
  • Their free ends 15, 16 thus have shapes, represented in a non-limiting manner, particularly adapted both to the locking of the control wheel and to the exercise of a predetermined friction force to adjust its speed of rotation when is released.
  • at each moment of operation of the illustrated movement at least one of the two free ends 15 and 16 is disposed in abutment on the periphery of the control wheel.
  • the arrangement of the free ends 15, 16 so that they are substantially diametrically opposed relative to the control wheel 12 minimizes the stresses on the latter, particularly at its pivot. This particular feature contributes to improving the behavior over time of the mechanism according to the present invention.
  • the speed of movement of the shooting star opposite a dial window of the corresponding timepiece can be adjusted so that it moves stealthily while being clearly visible for the wearer of the piece.
  • the elastic member providing the connection between the first and second mobile can take a shape other than that of a spiral spring, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • gear ratios and time values mentioned above are indicative and not limitative and can be adapted at will.
