    Abstract: A flexible guide for a rotating resonator mechanism, in particular of a horological movement, the guide including a fixed support, an element that is capable of moving relative to the fixed support, at least two main flexible blades allowing the movable element to move relative to the fixed support by bending the main flexible blades via a rotary motion about a centre of rotation, the flexible guide being arranged substantially in one plane, the flexible guide including at least two translation tables, each joined to one end of a main flexible blade, such that each translation table is configured to move in translation at least in part under the effect of the bending of the corresponding main flexible blade, the flexible guide including at least one tertiary flexible blade connecting the two translation tables.

    Abstract: A piezoelectric resonator for a rotary motor, the resonator including a stationary base and an oscillating mass extending around a longitudinal axis, the oscillating mass having an inertia-block. The resonator includes a flexible blade guide connecting the oscillating mass to the base, so as to be able to cause the oscillating mass to oscillate about a centre of rotation in a balance movement, the flexible guide including a first RCC-type pivot provided with an intermediate moving element, a first pair of flexible blades connecting the base to the intermediate moving element, and a second pair of flexible blades forming a second RCC-type pivot connecting the intermediate moving element to the oscillating mass, the piezoelectric resonator including a first flexible blade connecting the intermediate moving element to the base, the first flexible blade including at least in part a piezoelectric material that can deform the first flexible blade and cause the oscillating mass to oscillate.

    Abstract: A flexible guide assembly for a rotating resonator mechanism, the assembly including a fixed support and two flexible guides extending in substantially the same plane or in two different parallel planes, the first flexible guide including a first element movable with respect to the fixed support, a first pair of flexible strips connected to the first movable element, such that the first movable element can move by bending the strips of the first pair in a circular motion about a first centre of rotation, the second flexible guide includes a second element movable with respect to first movable element, a second pair of flexible strips connecting the second movable element to the first movable element, such that the second movable element can move with respect to the first movable element by bending the strips of the second pair in a circular motion about a second centre of rotation. The first centre of rotation and the second centre of rotation are offset by a first predefined distance belonging to a plane of the assembly.
