Abstract:
The invention relates to a pivoting assembly comprising an arbor rotatably mounted between two bearings, a member mounted between a shoulder of the arbor and a resilient washer, at least one of the two bearings comprising a limit stop which is arranged to enter into direct contact with the resilient washer in order to restrict the relative movement between the arbor and its bearings.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system of measuring a piece of time related information connected to a display system for displaying the piece of time related information and to a fast correction system for correcting the time related information display at any time and in a predetermined step.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system of assembling a member, made of a first material, in the aperture of a part made of a second material having no plastic domain, using an intermediate portion made of a third material, mounted between said member and said part, According to the invention, the intermediate portion is accommodated against a shoulder of the part and is laterally locked in a resilient manner by at least one resilient locking device of the part to secure together the unit comprising the member-intermediate portion-part.The invention concerns the field of timepieces.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a timepiece component (1) that has an aperture (7) for receiving a support element (3) and includes a clamping system (13) for exerting radial force, allowing said timepiece component to be secured to said support element. According to the invention, the clamping system (13) includes a radial clamping device (15) that has a crown (6) for exerting said radial force and a concentric, blind recess (8) spaced apart from said aperture, for allowing said crown to travel.The invention concerns the field of timepieces.
Abstract:
A drive wheel for integration into a clock movement, in particular into the clock movement of wristwatches, with at least a dented section by whose teeth a downstream wheel is rotatably drivable and at least a non-dented section which has a diameter chosen in such a manner that the part-circular circumference of the drive wheel in the non-dented section blocks the downstream wheel against rotation while the teeth of the downstream wheel face this section. The non-dented section of the drive wheel includes at least a flexible element that is arranged, seen in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the drive wheel, immediately after the dented section and that includes an elasticity essentially directed in radial direction of the drive wheel for the change of the diameter of the non-dented section of the drive wheel in the range of the flexible element.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a drive wheel (10) for integration into a clock movement, in particular into the clock movement of wristwatches, with at least a dented section (11) by whose teeth (12) a downstream wheel (20) is rotatably drivable and at least a non-dented section (13) which has a diameter chosen in such a manner that the part-circular circumference of the drive wheel (10) in the non-dented section (13) blocks the downstream wheel (20) against rotation while the teeth (21) of the downstream wheel (20) face this section. The non-dented section (13) of the drive wheel (10) comprises at least a flexible element (14) that is arranged, seen in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the drive wheel (10), immediately after the dented section (11) and that comprises an elasticity essentially directed in radial direction of the drive wheel (10) for the change of the diameter of the non-dented section (13) of the drive wheel (10) in the range of the flexible element (14).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a timepiece which has a resin substrate, rotors, and wheel trains, and relates to a wheel train apparatus which has a resin substrate, bearing members, gear wheel, and the like. The invention is constituted by a timepiece comprising; a gear wheel, and a substrate which supports a shaft of a rotor and/or a shaft of the gear wheel, the substrate being formed from a filled resin. Alternatively the invention is constituted by a wheel train apparatus comprising: a gear wheel; a substrate which supports one shaft section of the gear wheel, and a bridge which rotatably supports an other shaft section of the gear wheel, the substrate and the bridge being formed from a filled resin.

Abstract:
Novel compounds of Formula I in which R is hydrogen or a C1- 18 acyl group, R1 is a C1- 18 acyl group, and R2 is a alkoxy or C1- 6 alkylthio group, are prepared by subjecting a compound of Formula I in which R is a methyl group to the action of chloride of a tetravalent metal as catalyst, whereby the 1-methoxy group is dimethylated, and, if required, the resulting product is simultaneously or subsequently reacted with a lower acylating agent.
