EXTERNAL CONTROL MECHANISM FOR A TIMEPIECE
An external watch control device (100) including a crown (1) carrying a first barrel (2) screwed onto a tube (4), coaxially guiding a second barrel (3) includes a driver (7), the first barrel (2) and the second barrel (3) including opposing unidirectional toothing (8; 9), the tube (4) containing a spring (11) tending to move the first barrel (2) away from the driver (7), the unidirectional toothing (8; 9) are at maximum distance when the crown (1) is completely screwed onto the tube (4), and in meshing position when the crown (1) is completely unscrewed, the cooperation between the unidirectional toothing (8; 9) allowing the rotation of the first barrel (3) in a first single direction of rotation of the crown (1), and preventing it in the opposite direction against the spring (11) in the manner of a pawl.
External control mechanism for a timepiece
An external watch control device (100) including a crown (1) carrying a first barrel (2) screwed onto a tube (4), coaxially guiding a second barrel (3) includes a driver (7), the first barrel (2) and the second barrel (3) including opposing unidirectional toothing (8; 9), the tube (4) containing a spring (11) tending to move the first barrel (2) away from the driver (7), the unidirectional toothing (8; 9) are at maximum distance when the crown (1) is completely screwed onto the tube (4), and in meshing position when the crown (1) is completely unscrewed, the cooperation between the unidirectional toothing (8; 9) allowing the rotation of the first barrel (3) in a first single direction of rotation of the crown (1), and preventing it in the opposite direction against the spring (11) in the manner of a pawl.
HOROLOGICAL MOVEMENT COMPRISING A DISPLAY CORRECTION MECHANISM
A horological movement including a setting stem, a movement winding mechanism, a date display mechanism, a time display mechanism, and a first lever carrying a drive wheel capable of being kinematically connected to the setting stem, and carrying at least one hand-setting wheel to cooperate with the time display mechanism and capable of being kinematically connected to the drive wheel, and a second lever carrying a date correction mechanism capable of being kinematically connected to the drive wheel as well as to the date display mechanism, the second lever being pivotably mounted on the first lever and arranged to move between a meshed position in which the date correction mechanism cooperates with the date display mechanism and a retracted position in which the date correction mechanism is disconnected from the date display mechanism, and the setting stem and the first lever and second lever are arranged to occupy three positions.
PULL-OUT PIECE MECHANISM
The pull-out piece mechanism (100) for timepiece movement includes a pull-out piece (20) having a pull-out piece body (21) including a first part (21) with a connecting element (21a) connecting to a control member (10), such as a pull-out piece stud (21a), and a second part (22), the first part being attached to the second part and the first part being movable with respect to the second part between (i) a first position in which the connecting element (21a) is able to engage with the control member (10) and (ii) a second position in which the connecting element (21a) is not able to engage with the control member (10), and an elastic return member (40) designed to return the first part (21) to the first position.
DEVICE FOR OPERATING MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS OF A WATCH
An operating device (1) for a watch including a control member (2) mounted movably in a support piece (3) of the device (1), the piece (2) being intended to be unmoving relative to the horological movement of the watch, the control member (2) including a gripping element (7), a drive element (8) rigidly connected to the gripping element (7) and a transmission member (31) being rotated by the drive element (8), the transmission member (31) being configured to cooperate with a member for actuating a manual winding mechanism of the device (1), capable of storing mechanical energy, in order to operate a first function of the watch, and with a hand-setting member of the device (1) to control a second function of the watch, and the drive element (8) being configured to cooperate with an operating member (4) to operate third and fourth functions of the watch.
WATCH MOVEMENT COMPRISING MECHANISM FOR DISPLAYING THE PERIODS OF AN ANNUAL CYCLE MOVED IN JUMPS BY A DRIVE MOBILE WITH A 31-POSITION
A watch movement including a date mechanism including a drive mobile with 31 stable positions actuated in steps of one step per day by a time train; a mechanism for displaying the periods of an annual cycle driven in jumps by the drive mobile, the mechanism for displaying the periods of an annual cycle including a member for indicating the periods of an annual cycle and an annual cycle train moved directly by the drive mobile and configured to rotate the member for indicating annual cycle periods; the annual cycle train including an annual cycle drive wheel kinematically coupled in rotation with an annual cycle correction wheel, the annual cycle correction wheel being meshed with the member for indicating annual cycle periods; an annual cycle correction mechanism configured to correct the mechanism for displaying the periods of an annual cycle by rotating a winding stem rotating the annual cycle correction wheel and changing the indexing between the annual cycle drive wheel and the annual cycle correction wheel.
