METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PLURALITY OF MECHANICAL RESONATORS IN A MANUFACTURING WAFER
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a plurality of mechanical resonators in a manufacturing wafer, the resonators being intended to equip a regulating member of a timepiece, the method comprising the following steps: (a) fabricating a plurality of resonators in at least one wafer according to reference specifications; (b) measuring the actual frequency of each of the plurality of resonators; (c) determining the offset of the actual frequency of the resonators with respect to the reference specifications; and (d) applying on at least one of the resonators at least two masses from a series of tuning masses to compensate the offset of the concerning resonator to bring the resonator closer to the reference specifications.
Method for manufacturing a mechanism
A method for manufacturing at least a part of a timepiece is disclosed. The method comprises a first step of assembling flat layers together to from a substantially flat multilayer structure, Wherein at least a first layer of said layers is designed to form one flexible blade in the timepiece. Then, the multilayer structure is deployed in a direction substantially normal to the flat layers. Then at least one mass is fixed to the flexible blade, the mass being more rigid than the flexible blade.
Timepiece oscillator structure with a divisible element
A timepiece oscillator structure includes at least one divisible unit, which includes at least one component which includes at least one flexible blade or at least one blade with necks, joining two main units, each more rigid than the flexible blade or blade with necks, where the divisible unit includes at least one protection unit adjacent to at least one main unit to which it is connected by at least one divisible linkage which is designed in order to make possible the detachment of this protection unit from the component when the component is fixed, with at least the particular main unit which is adjacent to the protection unit, to a more rigid external element than the flexible blade or than the necks of the blade with necks.
METHOD FOR BONDING TIMEPIECE COMPONENTS
The invention relates to a method for bonding timepiece components, comprising applying an adhesive to a first and/or second timepiece component to be bonded to one another, and depositing an adhesion layer onto at least one of the first and second components to be bonded by spraying a primer composition in a localised joining area followed by the solidification of the primer composition. The adhesion layer is deposited prior to the application of the adhesive if the adhesive is applied to the one or more same components as the adhesion layer.
TIMEPIECE OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE WITH A DIVISIBLE ELEMENT
A timepiece oscillator structure includes at least one divisible unit, which includes at least one component which includes at least one flexible blade or at least one blade with necks, joining two main units, each more rigid than the flexible blade or blade with necks, where the divisible unit includes at least one protection unit adjacent to at least one main unit to which it is connected by at least one divisible linkage which is designed in order to make possible the detachment of this protection unit from the component when the component is fixed, with at least the particular main unit which is adjacent to the protection unit, to a more rigid external element than the flexible blade or than the necks of the blade with necks.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A MECHANISM
A method for manufacturing a mechanism comprises the steps of: i) assembling flat layers together to form a substantially flat multilayer structure; ii) deploying the multilayer structure in a direction substantially normal to the flat layers. At least a first layer of said layers forms a flexible blade in the mechanism. The blade is fixed, in the mechanism, to a mass. The mass is more rigid than the blade. The blade is fixed to the mass in a step subsequent to step ii). This method can in particular be used to manufacture all or part of a mechanism such as a timepiece movement.
TIMEPIECE OSCILLATOR STRUCTURE WITH A DIVISIBLE ELEMENT
A timepiece oscillator structure includes at least one divisible unit, which includes at least one component which includes at least one flexible blade or at least one blade with necks, joining two main units, each more rigid than the flexible blade or blade with necks, where the divisible unit includes at least one gripping unit adjacent to at least one main unit to which it is connected by at least one divisible linkage which is designed in order to make possible the detachment of this gripping unit from the component when the component is fixed, with at least the particular main unit which is adjacent to the gripping unit, to a more rigid external element than the flexible blade or than the necks of the blade with necks.
