Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-acting compensated spindle for fitting needles, in particular for switching a timepiece movement.
  • double effect means the possibility of controlling the minimum force and the force maximum hunting, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • Figures 1 and 2 somehow represent the history of the installation hands on a dial, in particular on the dial of a watch movement.
  • Reference 4 in FIG. 1 schematically represents the manual process the oldest. After positioning the hole of a needle above its axis a operator flushes it by means of a stick 41. The correct positioning of a hand, parallel to the dial and along the vertical axis, so that the hands do not do not cling to each other and do not rub on the dial, therefore only depends operator experience and skill. This process is still used for very small series or for repairs.
  • FIG 2 there is shown a device 5, called “Bergeon stem” well known in the watchmaking field, comprising a frame 6, provided with a plate 7 for receiving a watch movement, said frame 6 supporting a column 8, surmounted by a tool holder vertical 9 in which three different pins 1, 2 and 3 have been placed, the reference 1 corresponding to the spindle according to the invention described in detail below.
  • Each pin has at one end a removable cleat 37, 27 or 17 adapted to each type needle, and at the other end a head 38, 28 or 18 on which the force will be exerted hunting.
  • Micrometric screws 30, 20, 10 screwed into the tool holder 9 allow the stroke of each spindle to be adjusted.
  • the tool holder 9 is pivoted on an axis 8a of column 8 to bring a category of pins 1, 2 or 3 in the axis of the plate 7.
  • These pins allow in known manner to drive successively the hour, minute hand and chronograph by means of the cleat 17, and minute, hour and small second hand counters via a bent cleat, offset from the center of the movement.
  • These pins are held in the high position by means of springs 12, 22 or 32 arranged between a well of micrometric screws 30, 20 or 10 and heads 38, 28 or 18, or washers underlying 12a or 22a.
  • the distance of each cleat 17, 27 or 37, aimed in rods or tubes 11, 21 or 31, relative to the plate 7 is adjusted by means of micrometric screws 10, 20 or 30 of the frame 5.
  • the head of each spindle has a push button 18, 28 or 38 on which an operator will exercise pressure to drive out a needle.
  • the pin corresponding to reference 2 allows you to visually check the first possibility not to exceed a fixed predetermined maximum force in stages.
  • the tube 21 slides in a tube 25 containing a spring (not visible in FIG. 2) compressed by a piston 24 which can be operated from the outside through the push button 28.
  • the piston 24 has perpendicular to its axis a pin 24a which can be moved in a opening of the tube 25 to occupy five different positions, that is to say in compressing the spring to define five maximum force values for example by 500gr steps.
  • the tube 25 has near its base an oblong hole 26, in which an overflow indicator 29 can move of maximum force.
  • the washer 22a must come to bear on the screw micrometric 20 without any displacement of the indicator 29 being observed during this operation.
  • Such a brooch available for example from Sandoz Fils & Co (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland), however, does not allow precise adjustment of the maximum force must not be exceeded, and above all gives no indication of the force minimum that must be reached for proper hunting.
  • the present invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks of this art anterior by providing a double-acting compensated spindle that allows you to exercise visual control of both maximum and minimum force, which allows also to fine-tune the value of each force.
  • the invention relates to a compensated pin with double effect adaptable to a bracket for the installation of needles on a dial by hunting.
  • the bracket usually comprises a frame connected by a column to a pivoting tool holder capable of receiving three spindles adjustable in height for the successive installation of the hour, minute and chronograph hands, or the hands of the hour, minute and hand counters small second.
  • Each spindle is characterized in that it comprises three parts having visually controllable travel relative to each other.
  • Each spindle comprises, at its base a cleat, adapted to each type of needle, screwed into a lower rod which slides in a tubular part of an intermediate cylindrical element whose other end also slides in a tube at the end of which is screwed a head on which will exert a force F.
  • a first spring determining for a first force F 1 , placed in the tubular part of the intermediate element, is compressed between the lower rod in which is screwed a first indicator of displacement passing through the wall of the intermediate element through an oblong hole, and a first means of adjusting the spring in tension constituted by a screw and counter-screw device placed inside the intermediate element.
  • a second spring determining for a second force F 2 , placed in the upper tube, is compressed between the end of the intermediate element, into which is screwed a second displacement indicator passing through an oblong hole in the upper tube.
  • a second adjustment means identical to the first and located at the end of the upper tube.
  • the spindle shown in Figures 3 and 4 has three main parts: a lower rod 11, one end of which has an internal thread allowing the screwing of a cleat 17 interchangeable for each type of needle, an intermediate cylindrical element 13 and an upper tube 15 on which is screwed a head 18 allowing to exert a force F on the spindle when the latter is adjusted on a bracket 5.
  • the lower rod 11 slides in a tubular part 13a of the intermediate cylindrical element 13 with a limited clearance between two extreme positions identified by an indicator member 34 constituted by a screw, screwed into a tapped hole 34a of the solid part of the lower rod 11, and whose head is flush with the external opening of an oblong hole 14 formed through the wall 13a of the intermediate cylindrical element 13.
  • the lower rod 11 compresses a helical spring 33, against adjustment means 43 d e the tension of said spring 33, constituted by a screw 43a and a counter-screw 43b whose heads, in the example shown, are accessible by the other end of the intermediate element 13 which then also has a tubular part in the extension of the tubular part 13a.
  • adjustment means 43 in the opposite direction so that the heads of the screws and counter-screws 43a, 43b are accessible through the tubular part 13a.
  • a small piston 44 interposed between the adjustment means 43 and the spring 44 makes it possible to center said spring. As can be seen more clearly in FIG.
  • the indicator 34 occupies in the oblong hole 14 a low position 14a.
  • a force F greater than a force F 1 is exerted, depending on the characteristics of the spring 33 and the adjustment made at the level of the adjustment means 43, the indicator 34 will move towards a high position 14b of the oblong hole 14, which therefore makes it possible to exercise a visual check that the force F 1 has been exceeded during the hunting operation.
  • the force F 1 corresponds for example to a minimum force which must be exceeded to ensure sufficient tightening of a needle on its axis.
  • the specific characteristics of the spring 33 and the adjustment means 43 make it possible, for example, to adjust the minimum force F 1 between 500gr. and 1000gr., preferably between 800gr. and 900gr, according to the specifications of the movement concerned.
  • the intermediate element 13 cooperates with the upper tube 15 to define a second force F 2 which will in this case be a maximum force, which may for example be chosen between 1000gr. and 4000gr., preferably between 1500gr. and 3500gr, according to the specifications of the movement concerned.
  • the cylindrical element 13 slides in the upper tube 15 with a limited clearance between two extreme positions identified by an indicator member 36 constituted by a screw, screwed into a tapped hole 36a of the intermediate element 13, the head of which is flush with the opening. exterior of an oblong 16 formed through the upper tube 15.
  • the intermediate cylindrical element 13 compresses a spring 35 against tension adjustment means 45.
  • adjustment means 45 consist of a screw 45a and a counter-screw 45b, the heads of which are accessible through an opening 18a of the head.
  • a small centering piston 46 can be interposed between the spring 35 and the adjustment means 45. It is also possible to provide another small centering piston 48 at the other end of the spring.
  • the indicator 36 changes from a low position 16a to a high position 16b.
  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 schematically represent how the compensated double-acting spindle makes it possible to exert a visual check on the minimum driving force F 1 and on the maximum driving force F 2 .
  • a force F is exerted on the head 18 until the cleat is brought into contact with the needle concerned.
