Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention concerne un ensemble barillet pour montre mécanique avec diamètre de bonde réduit.The invention relates to a barrel assembly for a mechanical watch with reduced bung diameter.

L'invention concerne encore un mouvement d'horlogerie comportant au moins un tel ensemble barillet.The invention also relates to a watch movement comprising at least one such barrel assembly.

L'invention concerne encore une pièce d'horlogerie comportant au moins un tel mouvement ou/et au moins un tel ensemble barillet.The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising at least one such movement and / or at least one such barrel assembly.

L'invention concerne le domaine de l'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement le domaine des barillets de stockage d'énergie, pour l'alimentation d'un mouvement, d'une sonnerie, ou d'une autre fonctionnalité d'une pièce d'horlogerie.The invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly the field of energy storage barrels, for feeding a movement, a ring, or other functionality of a room watchmaking.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Pour augmenter la réserve de marche, par augmentation du nombre de tours d'un ressort de barillet, une solution consiste en une diminution du diamètre de l'arbre de barillet et de la bonde associée, de façon à augmenter la place disponible dans le tambour pour le ressort.To increase the power reserve, by increasing the number of turns of a mainspring, one solution consists of a decrease in the diameter of the barrel shaft and the associated bung, so as to increase the space available in the drum. for the spring.

Le rapport du rayon de bonde par rapport à l'épaisseur du ressort est usuellement compris entre 10 et 20, et l'invention se propose d'abaisser ce rapport en-dessous de 10, et préférentiellement dans la plage comprise entre 5 et 10.The ratio of the bead radius to the thickness of the spring is usually between 10 and 20, and the invention proposes to lower this ratio below 10, and preferably in the range between 5 and 10.

Le dimensionnement ne doit pas être fait à la légère, en effet un risque de casse existe sir le diamètre de la bonde est trop faible.Sizing should not be done lightly, indeed a risk of breakage exists if the diameter of the plug is too small.

Dans l'architecture classique des barillets, un rochet est monté axialement sur un axe de barillet ou sur une bonde, par l'intermédiaire d'un carré, le rochet étant généralement fixé par une vis axiale. La dimension de cette vis et celle du carré conditionnent donc un diamètre minimal d'une portée de pivotement. Un épaulement jointif à cette portée de pivotement limite l'ébat axial de l'arbre ou de la bonde par rapport à une platine ou à un pont porteur d'une pierre ou similaire.In the conventional architecture of the barrels, a ratchet is mounted axially on a barrel axis or on a bung, via a square, the ratchet being generally fixed by an axial screw. The size of this screw and that of the square thus condition a minimum diameter of a pivoting surface. A shoulder abutting with this pivoting surface limits axial fretting of the shaft or the bung relative to a plate or bridge carrying a stone or the like.

Un diamètre encore supérieur à celui de cet épaulement est nécessaire pour une portée de guidage en pivotement du tambour sur l'arbre ou sur la bonde, combinée à un épaulement de limitation de l'ébat axial du tambour. Le respect de sections de matière minimales implique une chaîne de cotation qui se traduit par un encombrement conséquent, difficile à réduire. On ne peut en particulier pas se contenter de réduire l'ensemble des dimensionnements, car les sections de matière sont alors insuffisantes pour assurer la tenue en fatigue.A diameter even greater than that of this shoulder is necessary for a pivoting guide surface of the drum on the shaft or on the bung, combined with a shoulder limiting axial fretting of the drum. Compliance with minimum material sections implies a quotation chain that results in a large size, difficult to reduce. In particular, it is not enough to reduce all the sizing, because the sections of material are then insufficient to ensure fatigue resistance.

Le document FR 2 287 717 A1 au nom de SCHILD décrit un barillet avec une roue à rochet fixée à l'arbre et adjacente au pont 10A dans lequel pivote cet arbre. Il comporte un cliquet en une pièce, formé d'une partie rigide mobile en rotation autour de l'arbre entre une position de blocage et une position de dégagement, et d'un bras élastique dont l'extrémité libre présente un bec d'encliquetage capable de s'engager dans la denture du rochet. Ce cliquet est logé dans une creusure du pont 10A entre le pont 10A et la roue à rochet. Le bras présente à son extrémité libre un élément d'appui situé à l'intérieur du contour du rochet, les flancs de cette creusure comprennent deux éléments de butée coopérant, en position de blocage, l'un avec l'élément d'appui, et l'autre avec le bec d'encliquetage, pour déterminer la position de blocage.The document FR 2 287 717 A1 in the name of SCHILD describes a barrel with a ratchet wheel attached to the shaft and adjacent to the bridge 10A in which this shaft pivots. It comprises a pawl in one piece, formed of a rigid portion rotatable about the shaft between a locking position and a release position, and an elastic arm whose free end has a detent able to engage in the teeth of the ratchet. This pawl is housed in a recess of the bridge 10A between the bridge 10A and the ratchet wheel. The arm has at its free end a bearing element situated inside the contour of the ratchet, the flanks of this recess comprise two abutment elements cooperating, in the locked position, one with the support element, and the other with the latching nose, to determine the locking position.

Le document FR 1 371 491 A au nom de PONS décrit un procédé et un dispositif de lubrification. Le rochet fixé sur l'arbre de barillet présente des ouvertures d'accès sur une partie du pont 10A de barillet ou sur une partie du coussinet supérieur du barillet. Le pont 10A peut présenter des ouvertures similaires, ainsi que la platine pour l'accès au coussinet du couvercle.The document FR 1 371 491 A in the name of PONS describes a method and a lubricating device. The ratchet attached to the barrel shaft has access openings on a portion of the barrel bridge 10A or on a portion of the upper barrel bushing. The bridge 10A may have similar openings, as well as the plate for access to the cover pad.

Le document US 886 196 A au nom de FALLER LEWIS ALBERT . Le tambour et le couvercle d'un barillet pivotent de façon limitée par les parois d'une cavité formée par une platine et un pont 10A plaqués l'un sur l'autre. Le tambour pivote autour de l'axe de barillet par l'intermédiaire d'une bague qui comporte deux plats qui coopèrent avec une lumière oblongue du tambour. Cette bague porte, par un filetage, le rochet qui pivote de façon limitée par les parois d'une cavité définie par la platine et le tambour. L'arbre porte, du côté opposé, une roue entre le couvercle et le pont 10A.The document US 886,196 to FALLER LEWIS ALBERT . The drum and the lid of a barrel pivot in a limited manner by the walls of a cavity formed by a plate and a bridge 10A pressed one on the other.

This ring carries, by a thread, the ratchet which pivots in a limited way by the walls of a cavity defined by the plate and the drum. The shaft carries, on the opposite side, a wheel between the cover and the bridge 10A.

Le document CH 295 135 A au nom de BRAC décrit un barillet dont la bonde porte le rochet, dont le mouvement est limité par un filet sur la platine. Cette bonde pivote sur un axe dont une extrémité coopère avec un alésage de la platine, et dont l'autre extrémité comporte un filetage. Ce filetage coopère avec le taraudage d'un boîtier de centrage monté dans un alésage du pont 10A. Le filetage et la plaque support maintiennent une bague de centrage faisant butée pour l'extrémité de la bonde du côté du pont 10A.The document CH 295 135 A in the name of BRAC describes a barrel whose bonde carries the ratchet, whose movement is limited by a net on the plate.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un barillet pour montre mécanique avec diamètre de bonde réduit.More particularly, the invention relates to a mechanical watch cylinder with reduced bung diameter.

L'invention concerne un ensemble barillet 1 d'horlogerie, comportant un ressort moteur 2 de barillet. Ce ressort 2 est monté classiquement entre, à une première extrémité 21 un tambour 3 de barillet, et à une deuxième extrémité 22 une surface de réception 5 que comporte une bonde 4 de barillet coaxiale à ce tambour 3 autour d'un axe de pivotement D.The invention relates to a barrel 1 watch assembly, comprising a mainspring 2 barrel. This spring 2 is conventionally mounted between, at a first end 21 a barrel drum 3, and at a second end 22 a receiving surface 5 that includes a barrel plug 4 coaxial with the drum 3 about a pivot axis D .

Ce ressort 2 est réalisé dans un alliage multiphasé à base cobalt-nickel-chrome, comportant de 44 à 46% de cobalt, de 20 à 22% de nickel, de 17 à 19% de chrome, de 4 à 6% de fer, de 3 à 5% de tungstène, de 3 à 5% de molybdène, de 0 à 2% de titane, de 0 à 1% de béryllium, et de module d'Young compris entre 200 et 240 GPa et un module de cisaillement compris entre 80 et 100 GPa. Ce ressort 2 a un rapport largeur/épaisseur compris entre 3 et 23, et en particulier entre 9 et 21. La bonde 4 est en acier ou en acier inoxydable, Le rayon maximal de la bonde 4 par rapport au axe de pivotement D est inférieur à dix fois l'épaisseur maximale du ressort 2, et de préférence inférieur à huit fois cette épaisseur, grâce aux dispositions décrites ci-après.This spring 2 is made of a cobalt-nickel-chromium-based multiphase alloy comprising from 44 to 46% of cobalt, from 20 to 22% of nickel, from 17 to 19% of chromium, from 4 to 6% of iron, from 3 to 5% of tungsten, from 3 to 5% of molybdenum, from 0 to 2% of titanium, from 0 to 1% of beryllium, and from Young's modulus of between 200 and 240 GPa and a shear modulus included between 80 and 100 GPa. This spring 2 has a width / thickness ratio of between 3 and 23, and in particular between 9 and 21. The plug 4 is made of steel or stainless steel. The maximum radius of the plug 4 with respect to the pivot axis D is less than to ten times the maximum thickness of the spring 2, and preferably less than eight times this thickness, thanks to the arrangements described below.

La bonde 4 comporte successivement, depuis une première extrémité 86, vers une deuxième extrémité 87 :

  • des moyens de fixation 120 d'un rochet 12, ou/et une première portée de pivotement 181 dans une platine 10 ou un pont 10A d'un mécanisme horloger,
  • puis une portée 43 de pivotement par rapport à un alésage 35 du tambour 3,
  • puis une collerette 40 saillante radialement par rapport à la portée 43 et coopérant en appui avec une face interne 31 que comporte le tambour 3 du côté du au moins un ressort 2,
  • puis, en affleurement ou en retrait radialement par rapport à la collerette 40, la surface de réception 5 du au moins un ressort 2,
  • puis, en retrait radialement par rapport à la surface de réception 5, une portée 44 de pivotement par rapport à un alésage 75 d'un couvercle 7 agencé pour constituer avec le tambour 3 une chambre 32 contenant le au moins un ressort moteur 2,
  • puis une deuxième portée de pivotement 182 dans une platine ou un pont 10A du mécanisme horloger.
The plug 4 comprises successively, from a first end 86, to a second end 87:
  • fastening means 120 of a ratchet 12, and / or a first pivoting surface 181 in a plate 10 or a bridge 10A of a clock mechanism,
  • then a pivoting surface 43 with respect to a bore 35 of the drum 3,
  • then a collar 40 protruding radially from the bearing surface 43 and cooperating in abutment with an inner face 31 that the drum 3 has on the side of the at least one spring 2,
  • then, flush with or retracted radially from the flange 40, the receiving surface 5 of the at least one spring 2,
  • then, radially recessed with respect to the receiving surface 5, a pivoting surface 44 with respect to a bore 75 of a cover 7 arranged to constitute with the drum 3 a chamber 32 containing the at least one driving spring 2,
  • then a second pivoting surface 182 in a plate or bridge 10A of the watch mechanism.

Dans la réalisation de la figure 1, l'arbre de barillet 4 est monobloc, et comporte une collerette 40 d'appui sur la face intérieure 31 du tambour 3, et dont le diamètre de collerette est supérieur au diamètre enveloppe de la surface d'appui du ressort 2, laquelle inclut le crochet 41. Cette collerette 40 ne constitue pas cette surface d'appui du ressort 2.In the realization of the figure 1 , the barrel shaft 4 is in one piece, and has a flange 40 bearing on the inner face 31 of the drum 3, and whose flange diameter is greater than the envelope diameter of the bearing surface of the spring 2, which includes the hook 41. This flange 40 does not constitute this bearing surface of the spring 2.

Cette collerette 40 limite l'ébat entre l'arbre 4 et le tambour 3 dans un sens, la limitation dans l'autre sens est effectuée par un épaulement 49 de l'arbre avec un bossage intérieur 79 du couvercle 7.This flange 40 limits the frost between the shaft 4 and the drum 3 in one direction, the limitation in the other direction is effected by a shoulder 49 of the shaft with an inner boss 79 of the cover 7.

L'essentiel du volume de la chambre 32 est réservé au ressort 2, et la surface d'appui du ressort peut être de diamètre plus petit que sur les barillets connus.Most of the volume of the chamber 32 is reserved for the spring 2, and the bearing surface of the spring may be smaller in diameter than the known barrels.

Dans la variante illustrée par la figure 1, le diamètre extérieur de la bonde 4 est dégressif par paliers depuis la collerette 40 jusqu'à la deuxième extrémité 87.In the variant illustrated by the figure 1 , the outer diameter of the plug 4 is gradually decreasing from the flange 40 to the second end 87.

Dans un exemple de réalisation tel que visible sur la figure 2, le diamètre extérieur de la bonde 4 est dégressif par paliers depuis la collerette 40 jusqu'à la première extrémité 86. La collerette 40 coopère en appui avec une face interne 31 dans un épaulement du tambour 3.In an exemplary embodiment as visible on the figure 2 , the external diameter of the plug 4 is degressive in steps from the collar 40 to the first end 86. The collar 40 cooperates in abutment with an inner face 31 in a shoulder of the drum 3.

La réalisation selon la figure 2 est une variante de la figure 1, avec une portée supplémentaire pour guidage de l'arbre dans le pont, au-dessus de la portée ménagée au niveau du tambour.The realization according to the figure 2 is a variant of the figure 1 , with an additional bearing for guiding the shaft in the bridge, above the reach provided at the drum.

L'invention permet l'amélioration de la réserve de marche de calibres existants, sans modification majeure de ceux-ci. Par exemple, une exécution particulière, pour l'application de l'invention au barillet du calibre « Frédéric Piguet 1180 BLANCPAIN », faite sans modifier le couvercle du barillet, correspond à un diamètre 401 d'une valeur de 1,80 mm, et d'un diamètre 501 d'une valeur de 1,20 mm.The invention allows the improvement of the power reserve of existing calibers, without major modification thereof. For example, a particular embodiment, for the application of the invention to the barrel of the caliber "Frédéric Piguet 1180 BLANCPAIN", made without modifying the lid of the barrel, corresponds to a diameter 401 of a value of 1.80 mm, and a diameter 501 of a value of 1.20 mm.

Tel que visible sur la figure 1, dans une variante particulière, la portée 43 constitue la portée de plus grand diamètre après la collerette 40. De préférence, le diamètre de la portée 43 est supérieur au plus grand diamètre de la surface d'appui 5 du ressort 2.As visible on the figure 1 in a particular variant, the span 43 constitutes the range of larger diameter after the flange 40. Preferably, the diameter of the span 43 is greater than the largest diameter of the bearing surface 5 of the spring 2.

Avantageusement, l'ensemble barillet 1 comporte des moyens d'extraction 190, qui sont agencés pour permettre l'extraction axiale de la bonde 4, selon l'axe de pivotement D, par l'exercice d'un effort de poussée ou de traction sur la bonde 4.Advantageously, the barrel assembly 1 comprises extraction means 190, which are arranged to allow the axial extraction of the bung 4, along the pivot axis D, by the exercise of a thrust or traction force. on the bung 4.

Sur les figures 4 et 5, dans une réalisation non limitative, ces moyens d'extraction 190 sont constitués par au moins une gorge 191 ou/et un épaulement que comporte la bonde 4 à proximité de la deuxième extrémité 87 et au-delà de la portée 44. Ces deux figures illustrent une bonde en au moins trois parties : une partie supérieure de bonde hors du tambour, avec épaulement de prise d'appui sur le côté du pont opposé au barillet, et chassée ou vissée dans une partie médiane. Cette partie médiane, entre tambour et couvercle, porteuse du ressort, soit directement (figure 4), soit indirectement par bague rapportée (figure 5) : cette partie médiane est munie des moyens d'extraction 190 sous forme d'une gorge à l'extrémité opposée à la partie supérieure. Une partie inférieure de guidage dans la platine, est chassée ou vissée dans la partie médiane.On the Figures 4 and 5 , in a non-limiting embodiment, these extraction means 190 are constituted by at least one groove 191 and / or a shoulder that includes the bung 4 near the second end 87 and beyond the span 44. These two figures illustrate a bung in at least three parts: an upper part of bung out of the drum, with bearing shoulder on the side of the bridge opposite the barrel, and driven or screwed in a middle part. This middle part, between drum and cover, carrying the spring, is directly ( figure 4 ), or indirectly by insert ring ( figure 5 ): this middle portion is provided with the extraction means 190 in the form of a groove at the end opposite the upper part. A lower guide portion in the plate, is driven or screwed into the middle part.

Les figures 4A et 5A illustrent une réalisation en deux parties avec arbre traversant.The Figures 4A and 5A illustrate a two-part embodiment with a traversing shaft.

De préférence, le ressort 2 est enfermé dans une chambre 32 délimitée par le tambour 3 et un couvercle 7 fixé sur le tambour 3, et la bonde 4 comporte une seconde partie arbrée externe 44 inférieure sur laquelle coulisse un alésage 75 du couvercle 7.Preferably, the spring 2 is enclosed in a chamber 32 delimited by the drum 3 and a cover 7 fixed on the drum 3, and the bung 4 comprises a second outer shaft portion 44 on which a bore 75 of the lid 7 slides.

Dans une variante illustrée par la figure 6, on a un arbre lisse, porteur d'une bonde à collerette, entre tambour et couvercle. Cette collerette constitue une surface de butée avec une surface intérieure du tambour. La bonde 4 est ainsi réalisée en au moins deux parties, l'une première partie 4A de diamètre inférieur au plus petit des deux diamètres du alésage 35 du tambour 3 et du alésage 75 d'un couvercle 7, et l'autre deuxième partie 4B, qui peut être sensiblement tubulaire, comportant un alésage chassé sur la première partie 4A. Cette deuxième partie 4B, ou bien comporte la surface de réception 5 du ressort moteur 2, ou bien constitue l'extrémité interne du ressort moteur 2.In a variant illustrated by the figure 6 , we have a smooth shaft, carrying a bung flange, between drum and lid. This flange constitutes an abutment surface with an inner surface of the drum. The plug 4 is thus made of at least two parts, the first part 4A of smaller diameter than the smaller of the two diameters of the bore 35 of the drum 3 and the bore 75 of a cover 7, and the other part 2B , Which may be substantially tubular, having a bore driven on the first part 4A. This second part 4B, or comprises the receiving surface 5 of the mainspring 2, or constitutes the inner end of the mainspring 2.

Dans la variante illustrée à la figure 3, l'arbre est en deux parties : une partie supérieure, avec guidage dans pont et rochet monobloc, vissée dans une partie inférieure sensiblement limitée au volume de la chambre du ressort.In the variant illustrated in figure 3 , the shaft is in two parts: an upper part, with guide in bridge and monobloc ratchet, screwed into a lower part substantially limited to the volume of the spring chamber.

La bonde 4 est ainsi réalisée en au moins deux parties, de préférence une de ces deux parties est entièrement dans la chambre 32. L'une première partie 4A intérieure comporte les moyens de fixation 120 d'un rochet 12 ou constitue le rochet 12, et comporte la première portée de pivotement 181 dans le pont 10A 10 ou dans une pierre du pont 10A. Cette première partie 4A comporte une portée de centrage 183 et un filetage 185, respectivement un taraudage, selon l'axe de pivotement D.The bung 4 is thus made of at least two parts, preferably one of these two parts is entirely in the chamber 32. The first inner part 4A comprises the attachment means 120 of a ratchet 12 or constitutes the ratchet 12, and has the first pivoting surface 181 in the bridge 10A 10 or in a bridge stone 10A. This first part 4A comprises a centering surface 183 and a thread 185, respectively a tapping, along the pivot axis D.

L'autre deuxième partie 4B, qui peut être sensiblement tubulaire, comporte un alésage de centrage 184 ajusté sur la portée de centrage 183, et comporte un taraudage 186, respectivement un filetage, complémentaire au filetage 185, respectivement taraudage, de la première partie 4A. Cette deuxième partie 4B est porteuse de la portée 43, de la collerette 40, de la surface de réception 5 du ressort moteur 2 ou bien constitue l'extrémité interne du ressort moteur 2, et est encore porteuse de la portée 44, et de la deuxième portée de pivotement 182.The other second portion 4B, which may be substantially tubular, comprises a centering bore 184 fitted to the centering surface 183, and comprises a tapping 186, respectively a thread, complementary to the thread 185, respectively tapping, of the first part 4A. . This second part 4B carries the bearing surface 43, the collar 40, the receiving surface 5 of the driving spring 2 or constitutes the inner end of the driving spring 2, and is still carrying the bearing surface 44, and the second pivoting range 182.

Dans une autre variante, la bonde 4 est réalisée en au moins deux parties, l'une première partie 4A comportant un arbre de barillet 18 cylindrique ou tubulaire et comportant à ses deux extrémités axiales opposées la première portée de pivotement 181 et la deuxième portée de pivotement 182, qui sont ou bien monobloc avec l'arbre de barillet ou bien rapportées sur ce dernier par vissage ou/et frettage ou/et soudage. L'autre deuxième partie 4B porte la portée 43, la collerette 40, comporte la surface de réception 5 du ressort moteur 2 ou bien constitue l'extrémité interne du ressort moteur 2, et porte encore la portée 44. Cette deuxième partie 4B comportant un alésage chassé sur la première partie 4A.In another variant, the bung 4 is made of at least two parts, the first part 4A having a cylindrical or tubular barrel shaft 18 and having at its two opposite axial ends the first pivoting surface 181 and the second bearing surface pivot 182, which are either monobloc with the barrel shaft or reported on the latter by screwing and / or shrinking or / and welding. The other second part 4B carries the bearing surface 43, the collar 40, comprises the receiving surface 5 of the motor spring 2 or constitutes the inner end of the driving spring 2, and still carries the bearing surface 44. This second portion 4B comprising a bore bored on the first part 4A.

Avantageusement, la première partie 4A est réalisée monobloc avec un porte-rochet 81 ou avec un rochet 12.Advantageously, the first part 4A is made in one piece with a ratchet holder 81 or with a ratchet 12.

Tel que visible sur les figures 7 à 9, l'extrémité supérieure de l'arbre comporte des plats d'entraînement de gorges correspondantes du rochet, qui sont situées en partie inférieure, du rochet, côté tambour.As visible on the Figures 7 to 9 , the upper end of the shaft comprises corresponding groove driving plates of the ratchet, which are located in the lower part of the ratchet, drum side.

Ainsi, la deuxième partie 4B comporte avantageusement des moyens d'entraînement 187 en pivotement de la première partie 4A ou/et d'un rochet 12 agencés pour coopérer avec des moyens d'entraînement complémentaires 188 que comporte la première partie 4A ou le rochet 12, et pour assurer aussi bien un contact en pivotement qu'un contact dans la direction axiale de l'axe de pivotement D. Dans le cas des figures, un dégagement 188 réalisé dans le rochet 12 par un train de fraises coopère avec un profil 187 comportant deux plats fraisé à l'extrémité de la bonde.Thus, the second portion 4B advantageously comprises driving means 187 pivoting the first portion 4A or / and a ratchet 12 arranged to cooperate with complementary drive means 188 that includes the first portion 4A or ratchet 12 and to provide both a pivotal contact and a contact in the axial direction of the pivot axis D. In the case of the figures, a clearance 188 made in the ratchet 12 by a drill bit train cooperates with a profile 187 having two dishes milled at the end of the bung.

Cette réalisation selon les figures 7 à 9 convient particulièrement bien à de très petits calibres, tel le « 615 BLANCPAIN », notamment pour montre de dame, en effet, grâce à l'invention il est possible de réduire le diamètre 502 à 1,00 mm. Le diamètre 121 de la figure 8 a une valeur de 0,60 mm, et le diamètre 122 a une valeur de 0,35 mm seulement. Il est possible de passer un couple de 2 mN.m, sur un rayon d'environ 0,25 mm, tel que représenté en pointillé sur la figure 8, ce qui représente un effort de 4N sur chaque contact vertical.This achievement according to the Figures 7 to 9 is particularly suitable for very small calibers, such as the "615 BLANCPAIN", especially for ladies' watches, indeed, thanks to the invention it is possible to reduce the diameter 502 to 1.00 mm. The diameter 121 of the figure 8 has a value of 0.60 mm, and the diameter 122 has a value of 0.35 mm only. It is possible to pass a torque of 2 mN.m, over a radius of about 0.25 mm, as shown in dotted line on the figure 8 , which represents a force of 4N on each vertical contact.

L'application au même calibre de la confection de l'arbre selon la variante de la figure 1 permet de gagner au moins 0,10 mm au diamètre par rapport à l'existant, sans changer les matériaux du ressort ni des composants ; à titre d'exemple, le diamètre 401 de la figure 1 peut être réalisé à 0,80 mm, le diamètre de la portée 44 à 0,5 mm, et le diamètre de la portée 182 à 0,30 mm.The application to the same caliber of the making of the tree according to the variant of the figure 1 makes it possible to gain at least 0.10 mm in diameter from the existing one, without changing spring materials or components; for example, the diameter 401 of the figure 1 can be made to 0.80 mm, the diameter of the span 44 to 0.5 mm, and the diameter of the span 182 to 0.30 mm.
