Definitions

  • timepieces displaying universal time, in especially wrist watches and pocket watches.
  • the hour system most commonly used universal features a rotating bezel on which is inscribed with the names of twenty-four cities, each representing a time zone hourly, as well as a twenty-four hour disc numbered from 1 to 24.
  • the disc of twenty-four hours is linked kinematically to the hands of the display clockwise and rotates counter-clockwise one revolution in twenty-four hours.
  • a second universal time system also includes a rotating bezel with twenty-four cities, a central needle making a twenty-four turn hours and which is independent of the hands of the time display, the digits of 1 to 24 forming part of the dial.
  • the disadvantage of this system is that indirect reading of universal time. It is indeed necessary to reposition the telescope to know the time of a city at different times of the day.
  • the object of the present invention is to offer a timepiece which aforementioned drawbacks, which allows a reading without manipulation of the time universal and whose correction when changing time zones is as simple as possible.
  • the licensee has developed a mechanism for achieve this goal, a mechanism described in the published German patent application No DE 197 16 693.
  • Such a timepiece allowing a change of time zone has a twenty-four hour disc, a city disc rotary and a correction mechanism kinematically connecting the twenty-four disc hours, the cities disc and the hour hand so as to make make 1 / 24th of a turn anti-clockwise to the two discs and do advance the hour hand by one hour for each time zone correction schedule.
  • This mechanism has the characteristic that the displacements of discs and the hour hand are obtained using a spring beforehand armed by a pusher. In such a construction, we are led to use a large spring so that the spring force is sufficient to carry out the correction on the three moving elements.
  • the present invention aims to remedy this drawback and has for object a timepiece as described in claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the watch object of the present invention showing local time.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the watch of Figure 1 and the movement of the different parts when changing time zones.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the watch of FIGS. 1 and 2 once set to the time following a time zone change.
  • Figure 4 is a partially exploded top view of the mechanism allowing time zone correction.
  • the watch has an outer disc 1 on which is affixed the name of twenty-four cities each corresponding to a time zone.
  • This disc of cities 1 is provided with markers 2 represented by example with a black dot, the marker representing GMT time located on the same time zone that London is for example in the form of a point of different color.
  • a second disc 3 of the twenty-four hours presents a numbering from 1 to 24.
  • Dial 4 has a marker at 12 o'clock, for example triangular 5 used to indicate which city corresponds to the time displayed by hands 6,7 of the time display. Universal time reading is immediate and requires no manipulation.
  • the local time is 12 hours and 15 minutes.
  • New York time For example it just find the inscription New York on the disc of cities 1 (at 9 a.m.) and read the corresponding figure on disc 3 of the twenty-four hours, in occurrence 6. So in New York it is 6 hours and 15 minutes in the morning, the minute being universal.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the mechanism of universal hours.
  • This mechanism includes a disc support 8 screwed onto three guide tubes 9,13 screwed into the plate.
  • the disc support 8 guides the disc of cities 1, the latter being integral with the star of cities 10.
  • a corrector 11 whose center of rotation is at A is actuated by means of a pusher (not illustrated) acting on a tenon 12 located at 10 o'clock.
  • the center of rotation A of the corrector 11 cooperates with an oblong lumen L of the corrector 11 so that when it is pushed on the tenon 12 the corrector 11 first translates and then rotates around A.
  • the corrector 11 is brought back in its rest position against the guide tube 9 thanks to a return spring 14.
  • a pin 15 driven into a first arm 11 ′ of the corrector 11 works at a higher level with the internal toothing of twenty-four teeth of the star of cities 10.
  • the cities jumper 16 pivots around a ring driven into the plate in position B.
  • This cities jumper 16 comprises a stud 17 provided with two sides 17 ', 17 "forming an angle between them.
  • the stud 17 is integral with the jumper of cities 16 and in the rest position rests on the teeth of the cities star 10 and thereby positions the cities disk 1.
  • the jumper 16 is returned to its rest position by a return spring 18.
  • the stud 17 and the toothing 10 of the cities disc form an "all or nothing" which guarantees that all the functions of the rocker 11 are performed completely.
  • the end of travel of the rocker 11 is determined by the contacting of the spout 11 "'against the guide tube 38.
  • the 24-hour star is driven by the hour wheel via the 25 hour jumper.
  • the 24 hour star attached to the additional 27 hour wheel, causes the latter to rotate.
  • the wheel 27 meshes with a return 29 which is fixed on the hour correction wheel 22 which also carries a second reference 28 which meshes with the internal dentition of the disc of the twenty-four hours 3.
  • the twenty-four hour disc 3 rotates continuously in the counterclockwise at the rate of one revolution per twenty-four hours. Because it is dependent on the 6 hour hand, it is impossible to shift one relative to the other.
  • This pawl 30 is subjected to the action of a spring 31 fixed on the arm 11 "of the corrector and has a spout intended to cooperate with the serration of the wolf's teeth of the correction wheel 22 hours.
  • This arm 11 "of the corrector 11 still carries a second spring 32 of which the curved end is intended to be applied against the serration of the hour correction wheel 22 to brake it at the end of a time zone correction.
  • the correction mechanism also includes a brake 33 pivoted on the pin 34.
  • This brake comprises a spring 35 tending to hold the brake in active position, the brake shoe 36 then being in contact with the teeth of the hour wheel, keeping it in place and preventing the minute hand does not move during correction.
  • this brake In the inactive rest position, this brake is kept out of contact with the hour wheel by a pin 37 acting on a lever 38 of the brake 33.
  • the brakes 32 and 33 In normal operation of the timepiece, the brakes 32 and 33 are deactivated, the corrector 11 being held in the rest position by its spring reminder 14.
  • the additional hour wheel 27, located above the hour wheel hours is driven by it via the clutch 25, and drives the twenty-four hour disc 3.
