Chronograph repeater mechanism with safety function
Acoustic timepiece display mechanism with a chronograph repeater for the acoustic display, by a striking mechanism, of a duration measured by a chronograph mechanism, this striking mechanism including a winding lever for driving a rack to move a striking rack in order to read the magnitude concerned and to release a corresponding strike function, this acoustic display mechanism includes, between the mechanism controlling the chronograph mechanism and the winding lever, a mechanical connection arranged, depending on the position of a control cam of the chronograph mechanism indirectly defining a variable secondary direction of the winding lever, to isolate or not to isolate the winding lever from a winding pusher operated in a single pusher direction by a user to set off the acoustic display of the timed duration.
Acoustic timepiece display mechanism, particularly a chronograph repeater
A timepiece display mechanism includes a rotating display member for displaying a magnitude other than the current time of day, or a position in a cycle. The rotating display member is integral in rotation with a snail cooperating with the beak of a striking rack included in a striking mechanism integrated in or juxtaposed with this display mechanism, to strike a numerical value characteristic of this magnitude, or respectively of this position. The display mechanism is more particularly a chronograph mechanism including a seconds snail integral with a main chronograph wheel, for counting the seconds and cooperating with a seconds rack, and a minute snail integral with a minute counter wheel for counting the minutes and cooperating with a minute rack, in order, after timing a duration, to strike the minutes and seconds of the timed duration.
Horological display system
A system (100) for displaying time or time derivative information, in particular a measured time, the system including a limb (10) comprising at least one modifiable graphic element (20a-f) forming time or time derivative reference information, a member (1) for indicating the time or time derivative information in cooperation with the limb, a device (2, 8, 22, 71) for modifying the graphic element, and a device (3, 4, 34) for resetting, by action of a user, to a predetermined configuration, in particular for resetting to zero, the time or time derivative information displayed by cooperation of the indication member and of the limb.
Chronograph repeater mechanism with safety function
An acoustic timepiece display mechanism includes a chronograph repeater for the acoustic display, by a striking mechanism, of a duration measured by a chronograph mechanism. The striking mechanism includes a winding lever for driving a rack to move a striking unit including a rack pinion integral with a striking ratchet, to move a striking rack to read the magnitude concerned and to release a corresponding strike function. The acoustic display mechanism includes, between a control mechanism included in the chronograph mechanism and the winding lever, a safety mechanism arranged, depending on the position of the strike wheel set, to allow or prevent travel of an operating lever of the control mechanism of the chronograph mechanism, which operating lever is arranged to be pivoted under the action of a chronograph start pusher.
DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING AN INDICATION OF TIME OR DERIVED FROM THE TIME AND INDEXING DEVICE
A device (100) for display of an indication of the time or derived from the time includes: a first display mobile unit (10) including a first toothing (11b), a second toothing (11c) and a first disk (12) carrying digits (13) intended to indicate the units of indication of time or derived from time; a second display mobile unit (20) including a third toothing (21b), a fourth toothing (21c) and a second disk (22) carrying digits (23) intended to indicate the tens of indication of time or derived from time; and a mechanism (90) for driving the first and second mobile that includes a command mobile unit (30) including a fifth toothing (30a) adapted to cooperate by obstacle, in particular by meshing, with the first and third toothings, and a second command mobile unit (40) including a sixth toothing (40a) adapted to cooperate by obstacle with the second and fourth toothings.
DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING AN INDICATION OF TIME OR DERIVED FROM THE TIME AND INDEXING DEVICE
Jumper device (80) for a timepiece device (100) including at least one first arm (81) including a first beak (81a) for positioning a first mobile unit (10), at least one second arm (82) including a second beak (82a) for positioning a second mobile unit (20), an elastic element (84) for returning the first arm and the second arm to configurations positioning the first and second mobile units, and a lever (83; 83′) interfaced between, on the one hand, the elastic return element, and on the other hand, the first and second arms.
METHOD OF CONFIGURING TIMER AND TIMER USING THE METHOD
The present invention relates to a timer configuring method and a timer using the same. The timer configuring method includes receiving, by a timer, a target time, and changing, by the timer, an area of a time display region on the basis of the target time and counting the target time. The area of the time display region is changed by rotation of a plurality of time display structures.
Device for displaying an indication of time or derived from the time and indexing device
A device (100) for display of an indication of the time or derived from the time includes: a first display mobile unit (10) including a first toothing (11b), a second toothing (11c) and a first disk (12) carrying digits (13) intended to indicate the units of indication of time or derived from time; a second display mobile unit (20) including a third toothing (21b), a fourth toothing (21c) and a second disk (22) carrying digits (23) intended to indicate the tens of indication of time or derived from time; and a mechanism (90) for driving the first and second mobile that includes a command mobile unit (30) including a fifth toothing (30a) adapted to cooperate by obstacle, in particular by meshing, with the first and third toothings, and a second command mobile unit (40) including a sixth toothing (40a) adapted to cooperate by obstacle with the second and fourth toothings.
