BARREL FOR TIMEPIECE
A barrel (1) for self-winding timepiece including a drum (11) provided with an inner lateral wall (12) and a mainspring (2) forming a winding including an outer coil (21) the end (22) of which is friction coupled with the inner lateral wall and free to slip against the inner lateral wall in the event of overtension of the mainspring (2). The end of the outer coil includes an external face (23) having two friction surfaces (24, 25) disposed in the top and bottom portion of the outer coil and arranged to be in contact with the inner lateral wall in such a way that the portion between the friction surfaces, referred to as central portion (26), is not in contact with the inner lateral wall, the central portion forming a reservoir (27) for a lubricant between the two friction surfaces.

MOVEMENT FOR MECHANICAL TIMEPIECE
According to a movement of the present disclosure, the prevention of the transmission of torque to a governor when excessive torque is generated and the prevention of the wasteful consumption of energy when the excessive torque is not generated are achieved. The movement includes a main spring which generates torque, a balance wheel, a gear train mechanism for transmitting the torque generated by the main spring to the balance wheel, and a spring seat for moving a second wheel, for example, of the gear train mechanism in a direction to reduce the transmission efficiency of the torque between the wheels of the gear train mechanism when the torque generated by the main spring is higher than a predetermined torque (Tmax).
WATCH TRANSMISSION DEVICE
Transmission device (100), for example for a watch mechanism (110), in particular for a winding train (100, 201) of a watch movement (120), including an input element (6) intended to be driven only in a first direction, an output element, a first mechanical connection arranged such that the displacement of the input element in a first direction causes the displacement of the output element in a second direction, and a second mechanical connection (9′, 9) arranged such that the displacement of the input element in the first direction causes the displacement of the output element in a third direction, the third direction being opposite the second direction.
COILING LIMITATION DEVICE FOR A TIMEPIECE BARREL
A coiling limitation device for a timepiece barrel includes at least one non-return notch arranged to cooperate with a sliding flange of the spring of the barrel, which is integrated in a watch including a resonator cooperating with an escapement mechanism. This device includes an acoustic device for the acoustic monitoring of the coiling of the barrel of a watch positioned on a receptacle included by the device, which acoustic devices are arranged to identify a click noise during each start of cooperation between the sliding flange and a notch. The device includes piloting devices arranged to stop the coiling of the barrel at the instant of the perception of the click noise or the repetition of the click noise.
