Quartz watch movement
A quartz watch movement includes a minute wheel connected to a handsetting wheel by an intermediate wheel, a shaft of a third wheel placed in a shaft hole in a main plate, elastic connection structures being rotated by a third-wheel shaft gear and a minute wheel piece gear which are engaged together and are arranged between a minute wheel tube and the minute wheel piece gear when a stem is pulled or the minute hand is adjusted through the handsetting wheel, the intermediate wheel and a minute wheel shaft gear, and a second-hand stop lever detachably connected to a second-hand stop electrode. The elastic connection structures are arranged between the minute wheel tube and the minute wheel piece gear, so that the quartz watch is accurate in travel time and has the function of efficiently adjusting the hour hand and the minute hand when omitting a handsetting middle wheel.
FRICTION SYSTEM FOR A HOROLOGICAL MOVEMENT
A friction system for a horological movement includes a staff; a first stationary element mounted on the staff; a second stationary element mounted on the staff; a toothed member mounted to rotate freely on the staff between the first stationary element and the second stationary element; a third stationary element mounted on the staff; a spring mounted on the staff and arranged between the second stationary element and the third stationary element. The spring takes the form of a washer including an inner part close to the staff bearing against the third stationary element, and an outer, peripheral part of the washer bearing resiliently against an annular element of the second stationary element, the spring being resiliently deformed and forming a kinematic link both between the first stationary element and the toothed member, and between the second stationary element and the toothed member up to a predefined friction torque.
FRICTION SYSTEM FOR A HOROLOGY MOVEMENT
A friction system (100) for a horology movement including: an arbor (1) with a longitudinal axis (L) including: a first fixed element (2) mounted so as to rotate integrally with the arbor (1) and having a first support surface (40); a second fixed element (7) mounted so as to rotate integrally with the arbor (1); a toothed organ (3) mounted so as to rotate freely on the arbor (1) between the first fixed element (2) and the second fixed element (7). The toothed organ (3) is integral with a socket coupling (4) having a second support surface (42), and the second fixed element (7) includes a body (72) configured to rotate integrally with the arbor (1) and resilient brackets (71) protruding relative to the body (72) and extending towards the toothed organ, the resilient brackets (71) being resiliently pressed against the second support surface (42) of the socket coupling.
