    摘要: Strip resonator for a mechanical watch movement, comprising a structure, an oscillating inertial element, and elastic strips forming a flat bearing for the inertial element, and a flat, anti-shock device arranged to protect each strip from rupture in the event of a shock, and including a first prestressed flexible element arranged to allow a variation in length during the expansion or contraction of a strip within a range of lengths corresponding to normal operation of this strip under the action of a stress of intensity lower than a first threshold, and to prevent the expansion or contraction of this strip when it is subjected to a tensile or respectively compressive stress of intensity higher than the first threshold, and the resonator includes, for the three-dimensional anti-shock protection of the strips, in an axial direction perpendicular to a main plane, axial protection means, which include, on the one hand, axial banking members for limiting the axial travel of at least one inertial element, and on the other hand, an axial anti-shock device comprising a second axially prestressed flexible element.

    摘要: A method of improving pivoting of a wheel set for a scientific instrument, including an arbor pivoting or oscillating about a wheel set axis, the method including: static balancing of the wheel set to bring the center of gravity onto the axis; determining a desired value for the resulting unbalance moment of the wheel set about the axis, corresponding to a predetermined desired divergence between a first principal longitudinal axis of inertia of the wheel set, and the axis; setting the wheel set in rotation at a predetermined speed about the wheel set axis, the resulting unbalance moment is measured with regard to the axis; and adjusting a value of the resulting unbalance moment of the wheel set about the axis within a given determined tolerance with regard to the desired value.

    摘要: A timepiece or watch includes at least one resonator, which includes at least one weight that oscillates with respect to a connecting element fixed to a structure of a timepiece movement. The weight is suspended from the connecting element by resilient crossed strips which extend at a distance from each other in two parallel planes. The projections of the strips on one of the parallel planes intersect at a virtual pivot axis of the weight, and define a first angle which is the apex angle opposite which there extends the portion of the connecting element that is located between the attachments of the crossed strips to the connecting element. The first angle is between 68° and 76°.
