Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférésDetailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

L'invention concerne un guidage flexible en pivotement de mobile horloger, dans un mécanisme d'horlogerie.The invention relates to a flexible guide pivoting mobile watchmaker in a clockwork mechanism.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un mécanisme élémentaire 10 d'horlogerie, qui comporte, tel que visible sur la figure 1 :

  • un premier élément de structure 21 porteur d'un premier logement 20, autour d'un axe théorique de pivotement D,
  • un deuxième élément de structure 31 porteur d'un deuxième logement 30,
  • et un mobile 1, lequel comporte à une première extrémité une première portée 2 agencée pour pivoter dans le premier logement 20 et à une deuxième extrémité une deuxième portée 3 agencée pour pivoter dans le deuxième logement 30.
The invention more particularly relates to an elementary clockwork mechanism, which comprises, as visible in FIG. figure 1 :
  • a first structural element 21 carrying a first housing 20, about a theoretical axis of pivoting D,
  • a second structural element 31 carrying a second housing 30,
  • and a mobile 1, which comprises at a first end a first bearing surface 2 designed to pivot in the first housing 20 and at a second end a second bearing surface 3 arranged to pivot in the second housing 30.

Ce premier logement 20 et ce deuxième logement 30 peuvent consister en des coussinets, rapportés ou non, en des pierres ou similaires, en des alésages usinés dans le premier élément de structure 21 ou /et le deuxième élément de structure 31, voire même de simples orifices pratiqués dans ce premier élément de structure 21 ou /et ce deuxième élément de structure 31.This first housing 20 and this second housing 30 may consist of bearings, reported or not, of stones or the like, bores machined in the first structural element 21 and / or the second element of structure 31, or even simple orifices made in this first structural element 21 and / or this second structural element 31.

Le premier logement 20 est, dans une variante particulière illustrée par les figures, un logement de révolution; dans ce cas particulier il est de préférence coaxial avec axe théorique de pivotement D. Ce premier logement 20 pourrait aussi avoir une autre forme, notamment non circulaire, par exemple oblongue, ou autre.The first housing 20 is, in a particular variant illustrated by the figures, a housing of revolution; in this particular case it is preferably coaxial with theoretical pivot axis D. This first housing 20 could also have another shape, in particular non-circular, for example oblong, or other.

Selon l'invention, ce deuxième logement 30 comporte au moins une première surface d'appui de butée 36.According to the invention, this second housing 30 has at least one first abutment bearing surface 36.

Dans une variante particulière et non limitative, illustrée par les figures, le deuxième logement comporte une deuxième surface d'appui de butée 37, qui est à une distance différentes de l'axe théorique de pivotement D, par rapport à la première surface d'appui de butée 36.In a particular and nonlimiting variant, illustrated by the figures, the second housing comprises a second abutment bearing surface 37, which is at a different distance from the theoretical axis of pivoting D, with respect to the first surface of stop support 36.

Mais le deuxième logement 30 n'est pas nécessairement fermé, il peut, par exemple, consister en une simple encoche, ouverte sur un côté.But the second housing 30 is not necessarily closed, it may, for example, consist of a simple notch, open on one side.

La première surface d'appui de butée 36 est agencée pour assurer l'alignement du mobile 1 sur l'axe théorique de pivotement D, quand le mobile 1 est en appui sur la première surface d'appui de butée 36.The first abutment bearing surface 36 is arranged to ensure the alignment of the mobile 1 on the theoretical pivot axis D, when the mobile 1 bears on the first abutment bearing surface 36.

Selon l'invention, le mécanisme élémentaire 10 comporte au moins un moyen de rappel élastique 5 qui est agencé pour rappeler le mobile 1 vers la première surface d'appui de butée 36 .According to the invention, the elementary mechanism 10 comprises at least one elastic return means 5 which is arranged to return the mobile 1 to the first abutment bearing surface 36.

Quand le deuxième logement 30 comporte une deuxième surface d'appui de butée 37, celle-ci correspond à une position inclinée du mobile 1 par rapport à l'axe théorique de pivotement D, quand le mobile 1 est en appui sur la deuxième surface d'appui de butée 37. Le mobile 1 est alors incliné, et porte en P1 sur le deuxième logement 30, et en P2 sur le premier logement 20.When the second housing 30 has a second abutment bearing surface 37, it corresponds to an inclined position of the mobile 1 with respect to the theoretical axis of pivoting D, when the mobile 1 is resting on the second surface d 37. The mobile 1 is then inclined, and carries P1 on the second housing 30, and P2 on the first housing 20.

Le deuxième logement 30 est agencé pour guider la deuxième portée 3, de préférence mais non limitativement selon une trajectoire rectiligne correspondant à une trajectoire plane de l'axe de pivotement du mobile 1.The second housing 30 is arranged to guide the second bearing 3, preferably but not limitatively along a straight path corresponding to a flat trajectory of the pivot axis of the mobile 1.

Dans une exécution particulière non limitative, et tel que visible sur les figures 2 et 3, ledit deuxième logement 30 est oblong à faces parallèles.In a particular nonlimiting execution, and as visible on the Figures 2 and 3 said second housing 30 is oblong with parallel faces.

On comprend que la deuxième extrémité 3 du mobile 1 circule dans ce deuxième logement 30, dont l'oblong joue un rôle bien différent de ceux connus par ailleurs (pour faciliter le montage et le réglage initial d'un tourbillon, d'un échappement, ou autre, avant immobilisation dans une position convenable). Dans le cadre de l'invention, l'axe du mobile 1 pivote autour du premier logement 2, de préférence dans un plan défini par un tel oblong.It is understood that the second end 3 of the mobile 1 flows in this second housing 30, the oblong plays a role very different from those known elsewhere (to facilitate the assembly and initial setting of a vortex, a exhaust, or other, before immobilization in a suitable position). In the context of the invention, the axis of the mobile 1 pivots around the first housing 2, preferably in a plane defined by such an oblong.

Plus particulièrement, le premier élément de structure 21, ou le deuxième élément de structure 31, ou bien comme illustré sur les figures 2 et 3 un troisième élément de structure 50, est porteur d'un tel moyen de rappel élastique 5, qui est agencé pour rappeler le mobile 1 vers la première surface d'appui de butée 36, et donc vers son axe théorique de pivotement.More particularly, the first structural element 21, or the second structural element 31, or as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 2 and 3 a third structural element 50 carries such elastic return means 5, which is arranged to return the mobile 1 towards the first abutment bearing surface 36, and thus towards its theoretical axis of pivoting.

Le premier élément de structure 21, ou le deuxième élément de structure 31, ou le troisième élément de structure 50, ou encore comme illustré sur les figures 2 et 3 un quatrième élément de structure 51, comporte une surface de butée 52, qui est agencée pour servir de butée au moyen de rappel élastique 5, dans une position dans laquelle la deuxième portée 3 du mobile 1 est mobile entre la première surface d'appui de butée 36 et une position distante, laquelle correspond à l'appui du mobile 1 sur une surface d'appui 55 du moyen de rappel élastique 5.The first structural element 21, or the second structural element 31, or the third structural element 50, or as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 2 and 3 a fourth structural element 51 comprises an abutment surface 52, which is arranged to serve as a stop for the elastic return means 5, in a position in which the second bearing surface 3 of the mobile 1 is movable between the first bearing surface of stop 36 and a remote position, which corresponds to the support of the mobile 1 on a bearing surface 55 of the elastic return means 5.

Dans la réalisation particulière et non limitative des figures, le moyen de rappel élastique 5 coopère avec une troisième portée 4 du mobile 1, qui est distincte de la première portée 2 et de la deuxième portée 3.In the particular and nonlimiting embodiment of the figures, the elastic return means 5 cooperates with a third bearing surface 4 of the mobile 1, which is distinct from the first bearing surface 2 and the second bearing surface 3.

Ce moyen de rappel élastique 5 est agencé pour exercer un effort sur le mobile 1 sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe théorique de pivotement D. dans une réalisation simple, il est formé par une lame flexible, qui peut être monobloc avec le premier élément de structure 21, ou/et le deuxième élément de structure 31, ou/et le troisième élément de structure 50, ou/et le quatrième élément de structure 51.This elastic return means 5 is arranged to exert a force on the mobile 1 substantially perpendicular to the theoretical axis of pivoting D. In a simple embodiment, it is formed by a flexible blade, which can be monobloc with the first structural element 21, and / or the second structural element 31, and / or the third structural element 50, and / or the fourth structural element 51.

Dans une variante, le premier logement 20 et le deuxième logement 30 sont tous deux des oblongs ou similaires; l'effort résultant exercé par les moyens de rappel élastique 5 sur le mobile 1 est alors, de préférence, appliqué dans une zone médiane du mobile 1, entre le premier logement 20 et le deuxième logement 30. De préférence, le premier logement 20 et le deuxième logement 30 sont des oblongs parallèles entre eux.In a variant, the first housing 20 and the second housing 30 are both oblong or the like; the resultant force exerted by the elastic return means 5 on the mobile 1 is then preferably applied in a median zone of the mobile 1, between the first housing 20 and the second housing 30. Preferably, the first housing 20 and the second housing 30 are oblong parallel to each other.

Dans une application particulière illustrée par la figure 1, le mobile 1 comporte un coeur 6 excentrique par rapport à l'axe de la première portée 2 du mobile 1.In a particular application illustrated by the figure 1 , the mobile 1 comprises a heart 6 eccentric with respect to the axis of the first bearing 2 of the mobile 1.

Dans une réalisation particulière, selon sa fonction, le mobile 1 comporte des moyens d'entraînement 7.In a particular embodiment, according to its function, the mobile 1 comprises driving means 7.

Naturellement, la fonction des coussinets 20 et 30 peut être échangée.Naturally, the function of the pads 20 and 30 can be exchanged.
