Abstract:
A pawl system (1) for a wheel (2) of a drivetrain for winding a horology barrel (3), including (i) a pawl (10) having at least one tooth (1a) intended to collaborate with a toothset (2a) of the wheel (2); and (ii) an element (6) for activating and deactivating the pawl, which is arranged so that, when it is in a first configuration, the at least one tooth (1a) of the pawl collaborates with the toothset (2a) directly or indirectly, notably under the effect of a return force returning the at least one tooth (1a) of the pawl against the toothset (2a), and, when the activation and deactivation element is in a second configuration, the at least one tooth (1a) of the pawl does not collaborate with the toothset (2a) or a return force returning the at least one tooth (1a) of the pawl against the toothset (2a) is reduced.
Abstract:
Device for adjusting the length of a bracelet, including at least one adjusting link element (23) mounted with the ability to rotate about a first axis (A1), the adjusting link element (23) being connected to an end link element (25) of a bracelet by a connecting pin (26), so that the end link element (25) can occupy two positions, each of these two positions respectively corresponding to a short and long configuration of the length of the bracelet, and wherein the bracelet length adjustment device includes an elastic fastening device so as to elastically fasten together the at least one adjusting link element (23) and the end link element (25) in the short configuration, in which configuration the elastic fastening device is arranged around a third axis (A3) that is not aligned with the first axis (A1).
Abstract:
Method for testing the water resistance of at least one timepiece, wherein it comprises the following stages:E1—Measuring the rate of the timepiece when subjected to a first external pressure, in particular atmospheric pressure, in order to obtain a first reference rate value;E2—Measuring the rate of a timepiece when subjected to a second external pressure inside a pressurization chamber, in order to obtain a second rate value under pressure;E3—Comparing the rate value under pressure and the reference rate value in order to deduce therefrom the presence or otherwise of a deficiency in the water resistance in the event of a variation in excess of a predefined threshold.
Abstract:
Assembly screw (1) for the pivoting attachment of at least two horology components in a position of assembly, the assembly screw (1) comprising at least one guide portion (3) allowing one of the horology components to pivot, and at least one threaded portion (4) allowing it to be fixed to another horology component, wherein this screw comprises a shoulder (5) intended to come into abutment against this other horology component and a zone (10) of lower mechanical rigidity to reduce the contact pressure applied at the shoulder (5) of the assembly screw when the horology components are in the position of assembly.
Abstract:
A gearwheel (R2) for clock movement, suitable for cooperating with a given first gearwheel (R1), wherein it comprises teeth whose flank is defined such that the torque ratio j between the two meshed gearwheels (R1, R2) is constant at least over a given angular pitch.
Abstract:
A clockwork module (100) including: including (i) a mobile part (11) including a first functional part and a second functional part (11a, 11b) and an arbor (15), (ii) a spring (13), (iii) a casing (14) including a housing (140), (iv) a first guide surface (14a, 140a) in the housing (140), (v) a first stop (140b) in the housing, (vi) a second stop (16b) arranged on the mobile part (11), the arbor (15) being guided by the first guide surface, the spring being arranged in the housing between the first and second stops.
Abstract:
A horology calendar system (100; 200) comprising: —a date display member (10) including an opening (10a); and —a month display member (30) arranged in such a way as to display an indication of the month in the opening (10a), notably when the opening (10a) is visible to a user of the calendar system and/or when the calendar system is indicating the first day of a given month.
Abstract:
A shock-absorber body (11) for an assembled balance (6) of a horological oscillator (8), comprising a guiding portion (11a) for the shock-absorber body (1) for its mounting on a bridge (2) and a fastening element (13) for an outer end of a spiral spring (5) of the oscillator.
Abstract:
A balance spring for an oscillator of a timepiece, wherein it comprises a component part, in particular at least a coil or a portion of a coil, provided with heavily doped silicon having an ion density greater than or equal to 1018 at/cm3, in order to permit the thermo-compensation of the oscillator.
Abstract:
A process for decorating a dial; wherein it comprises a step (E1) of engraving a pattern in a pad-printing cliché with a femtosecond laser, then wherein it comprises a step (E20) of transferring said pattern to the dial using the pad-printing cliché.
