Abstract:
Watch cannon-pinion including a first bore for receiving a pivot-shank including, on either side of a recess, a first shoulder and a second shoulder.This cannon-pinion is made in two parts and includes, on the one hand, a body comprising internally the first bore and externally a support shoulder, and on the other hand, a shape memory alloy ring including a second bore, and, in the free state, the second bore has a larger diameter than that of the support shoulder when the ring is in a martensitic structure, and a smaller diameter than that of the support shoulder when the ring is in an austenitic structure.
Abstract:
A regulatorless oscillating system for a watch includes a spiral balance spring having an inner fastening point attached to a collet which can be connected to a balance staff, an outer fastening point connected to a balance spring stud, and an end region adjacent to the stud. The end region is held so that it can be adjustably positioned in a plane which is perpendicular to the balance staff, thereby decentralizing the balance spring in order to compensate for isochronism errors.
Abstract:
THIS IS AN ARRANGEMENT FOR FIXING THE OUTER END OF A SPIRAL BALANCE SPRING WHICH REGULATES THE MOVEMENT OF A TIMEPIECE. A STUD IS MOUNTED IN A SUPPORT PLATE FOR ADJUSTMENT BY A MOVEMENT ABOUT ITS OWN AXIS. THE STUD IS PROVIDED WITH A HOLLOW PASSAGE AND A PIN IS DRIVEN INTO THIS PASSAGE. THE HEAD OF THE PIN AND A PORTION OF THE STEM ADJACENT THE HEAD COACT WITH A PROJECTION OF SECTOR
SECTION FROM THE STUD TO HOLD THE END OF THE BALANCE SPRING IN POSITION.
Abstract:
A regulator of the present disclosure includes a regulator pin having a pair of leg portions in which a hairspring is loosely fitted in a gap between the pair of leg portions, a regulator body configured to hold the regulator pin, and a pin support having an attachment portion that is detachably attached to the regulator pin or the regulator body, and a receiving portion that prevents the hairspring from being detached from the pair of leg portions.
Abstract:
A timepiece balance spring made of micromachinable material including a plurality of stages, each forming a spiral wound spring, parallel to each other and all attached to a common axial collet or to the same balance staff, each stage including, at its respective outer end, its own attachment to a balance spring stud which are independent of those of the other stages, the attachment including a position adjustment with respect to a balance spring stud which are also independent of those of the other stages, the attachment and the position adjustment together forming built-in isochronism correction mechanism for the balance spring, and the position adjustment including a plurality of discrete position adjustment positions including housings each arranged to retain a stud.
Abstract:
Balance spring boot (1) to be driven onto an index (10) for adjusting a balance spring (20) pivoting relative to an axis (D) and including two pins (2, 3), parallel to each other in one direction (D1) and arranged for limiting the radial beat of a balance spring (20) inserted between said pins, and including a means of resting on said index (10) arranged, when said balance spring boot (1) is assembled on said index (10), for adjusting said direction (D1) parallel to said pivot axis (D).Said spring boot (1) includes in a parallel direction to said direction (D1) a sight hole (4) clear so as to allow visualisation by an operator or instrument of said pins (2, 3) and the portion of a balance spring (20) inserted between them at a distance from and/or in contact with one and/or the other of said pins (2, 3).

Abstract:
The balance-spring (1) includes a plurality of coils (3) of which the end (6, 8) of the outer curve (2) is rigidified by deformation in order to define accurately the setting point (7) of said balance-spring, said deformation being able to be achieved by bending the end (6) of the outer curve (2) through 90° in a plane perpendicular to the height of the balance-spring (1) or by folding down through 180° a portion of the end (8) of the outer curve (2) against the inner or outer face of said end (2).
