Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece with a calendar comprising a date ring arranged to be driven in steps and once a day by means of a mechanism controlled by the motor member carried by the timepiece.
  • Timepieces of this type are known.
  • the days of months 1 to 31 are written on the date ring appearing in turn behind a window cut out from the dial.
  • a known device will appear on reading this description.
  • the date does not appear in the form of figures appearing through a window, but is displayed by means of a hand moving on a dial on which are affixed the marks relative to the date. .
  • This hand is either coaxial with the hands indicating the hours and minutes, or offset from the center of the watch to cover a small dial graduated according to the date.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a timepiece equipped with a date calendar using a movement originally provided with date window.
  • the date mechanism according to the invention can be applied to watch movements of modern construction without requiring major modifications.
  • FIG. 1 The movement presented in FIG. 1 has been freed from its dial background and from its dial 1 which appears only partially and on which are affixed the indexes of minutes 2 and hours 3.
  • a date ring 6 Guided in a notch 4 formed in the plate 5 is a date ring 6 which is rotatably and coaxially mounted in the center of the movement.
  • the date ring 6 is provided with an internal toothing composed of thirty-one teeth 7 or one tooth per day of the month.
  • the ring progresses in steps, one per day at midnight. It receives its rotational movement via a gear train composed of the hour wheel 8 making a revolution in twelve hours, an intermediate date wheel 9 and a date wheel 10 making a revolution in twenty-four hours.
  • a spring hook 11 linked to the wheel 10 advances the ring 6 once a day when the hook 11 engages a tooth of the ring.
  • the hour wheel 8 is normally driven by the watch's drive unit.
  • the movement also includes a mechanism for resetting the ring 6 controlled by the rod 12 and of which only the three-tooth part 13 can be seen.
  • the jumper 14 allows the ring 6 to be properly positioned between the steps.
  • the mechanism which has just been described is conventional and well known from the state of the art.
  • the ring 6 In watches where the date appears in a window, the ring 6 still bears the indications of the date affixed on its periphery.
  • the width of the ring is greater than that which appears in the figure so as to provide sufficient space to carry the numbered inscriptions therein.
  • the timepiece according to the invention carries a date display hand 15 which is controlled by the date ring 6.
  • the ring 6 has an external toothing 16 and means coupling 17, 18 and 19 to couple the date hand 15 to the teeth 16.
  • these coupling means comprise a reduction wheel 17 engaged with the toothing 16, a reduction pinion 18 secured to the wheel 17 and a date wheel 19 which meshes with the pinion 18.
  • the return formed by the wheel 17 and the pinion 18 is pivotally mounted on a date bridge 20 fixed on the plate 5 by means of a screw 21 which appears in Figure 1.
  • Figure 2 also shows that the date wheel 19 is driven on an axis 22 which is pivotally mounted both in the date bridge 20 and in the dial support 23.
  • the axis 22 carries the date hand 15.
  • the marks of the date 23a appear on dial 1 of the watch (see figure 1).
  • the construction which has just been described uses a mechanism for displaying the classic date by date ring to drive a date hand, requiring little modification and, above all, retaining the movement at its original thickness.
  • the drive mechanisms of the disc, its positioning and its updating are used as such to drive, position and update the date hand.
  • the needle 15 could be replaced by a break (not shown) on which would be affixed a mark forming a needle moving in front of the index carried by the dial 1.
  • This disc could also be contained in an opening pierced in dial to save space in thickness.
