11899402 · 2024-02-13 · ·

A system adjusts the angular position of a first toothed wheel set relative to a support on which the first toothed wheel set is mounted such that it can pivot. The adjusting system includes an adjusting member allowing an action to be applied to an angular position of the first toothed wheel set to adjust the angular position of the first toothed wheel set relative to the support. The invention adjusting system can be incorporated into a timepiece.

Timepiece mechanism intended to be driven through a variable number of steps

Disclosed is a timepiece mechanism which has a mobile including a tooth of a first type and a tooth of a second type, and a pawl that is intended to move the mobile by at least one step on each actuation and has a travel that is liable to move the mobile by two steps on each actuation. This timepiece mechanism has a correction mobile designed to define different paths of the pawl, depending on the state thereof, the pawl and the correction mobile being designed such that, on each actuation of the pawl: the pawl moves the mobile by one step; and the pawl moves the mobile by an additional step only when the correction mobile is in a predefined state and the tooth of the second type is situated along the travel of the pawl.

Timepiece movement provided with a device for positioning a movable element in a plurality of discrete positions

A timepiece movement includes a date ring having display positions, and a device for positioning the ring in a display position. The positioning device includes a lever and a first fixed magnet, a second magnet integral with the lever and a magnetic structure integral with the ring and moving between the two magnets, this magnetic structure being formed of a magnetically permeable material and having a radial dimension that varies periodically to define periods corresponding to the distances between the display positions. The magnetic axes of the two magnets are substantially aligned and their respective polarities are opposite. The magnetic torque applied to the lever can vary, so that it is pressed against the ring in the display positions but tends to move away from the ring on one part of the angular movement between these display positions.

SYSTEM FOR A WATCH CALENDAR

System (1) for a watch calendar, the system comprising a first wheel (3); a first finger (5b) for driving the first wheel; a tooth (31b) for driving the first wheel, the tooth being movably mounted on the first wheel (3) between a retracted position and a driving position; and a desmodromic system (2, 4) comprising a cam (2) and a cam follower (4), the desmodromic system being arranged in such a way that at least a first position of the cam defines a first position of the follower permitting the retraction of the tooth, and that at least a second position of the cam defines a second position of the follower preventing the retraction of the tooth.

FLEXIBLE MONOLITHIC COMPONENT FOR A TIMEPIECE

A monolithic component for a timepiece, in particular for a mechanical timepiece, comprising at least one rigid portion and an elastically flexible portion and designed to transmit the movement of an actuator of the timepiece to a driven part of the timepiece. The monolithic component comprises a rigid frame, a first rigid driving member, and a first elastically flexible structure connecting said frame to said first driving member. The first elastically flexible structure is configured in a manner such as to provide a displacement of said first driving member with at least two degrees of freedom, said displacement being caused as a result of the actuator coming into contact with said first driving member.
