Note also that all the wheels of the first corrective kinematic chain pivot on the platform is concentrically to its axis of rotation or on a fixed axis which is parallel to the latter. Similarly, all the wheels of the second corrective kinematic chain pivot on the cage either concentrically to its axis of rotation or on a fixed axis which is parallel to this axis.
- a major disadvantage of this mechanism is the complexity of its gear train containing two corrective kinematic chains and a high number of bevel gears, in particular in its gear differential gears, which causes significant power losses and therefore requires the presence of a large counterweight and a large power reserve.
- the weight of this balanced system is high which reduces the stabilization effect of the counterweight.

- the subject of the present invention is a mechanism that avoids the variations or variations of a setting device of the spiral-balance type of a timepiece such as a wristwatch or a pocket watch due to the effect of the Earth gravitation resulting from changes in spatial orientation of the regulating device.
- the mechanism according to the invention comprises means allowing the regulating device to remain in a stable spatial position despite the movements imposed by the wearer to the timepiece while avoiding disrupting the display of time.
- the stable spatial position of the regulating device is a position for which the balance remains in a horizontal or vertical reference plane whatever the position of the watch.
- the principle of the mechanism avoiding gait deviations consists in mounting the regulating member, generally the sprung balance, the anchor and the escape wheel on a mobile platform rotated along one or two orthogonal axes. relative to the platen of the watch movement, this platform being subjected to the action of an unbalance which thus makes it possible to maintain said platform in a fixed reference plane (either horizontal, vertical or possibly inclined), by the action of Earth's gravity whatever the position of the watch and therefore its movement.
- a mechanism of this mechanism includes a driving kinematic chain connecting the escape wheel to the barrel system and a corrective kinematic chain that compensates the movements and speeds of the platform relative to the plate so that these movements of the plate -form do not disturb the chronometry of the timepiece.
- this corrective kinematic chain when the platform rotates under the effect of its unbalance, it is possible to completely cancel the effect of the displacements and the speed of the platform on the main drive train.
- a reference plane for example horizontal
- the gear train and in particular the motor and corrective kinematic chains, has the particularity of including only epicyclic gear trains whose wheels mesh in a straight manner.

- the gearing includes bevel gears elsewhere in these motor and corrective kinematic chains, the latter are still of a reduced number compared to comparable gear systems of the state of the art.
- a mobile main drive kinematic chain is mounted in a satellite door rotating about two coaxial motor axes embarked or not on a mobile unit comprising the platform carrying the balance and a cage pivoted on the plate of the movement on which is pivoted said platform.
- a mechanism which avoids the operating deviations of the regulating member which consumes little energy, which makes it possible to reduce the weight of the unbalance of the platform and not to reduce significantly the power reserve of the movement of the watchmaking.
- the corrective kinematic chain connects the escape wheel to the plate and comprises at least one mobile which pivots on the plate, which advantageously reduces the effect of the weight of this correction chain on the unbalanced platform.
- the second wheel is on board the platform, which greatly minimizes the influence that the rotation of the platform may have on the torque transmitted to the exhaust by the driving main kinematic chain.
- FIG. figure 1 The first embodiment of the mechanism avoiding the deviations of a clocking device is illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
- This is a simplified mechanism in that the platform carrying the regulating device is mounted free to rotate on the platen of the movement along a single axis of rotation AA perpendicular to the plane of the plate 1 of the clockwork movement.
- the regulating device comprising a rocker 2, an anchor (not shown) and an escape wheel 3 is carried by a platform 4 pivoted on the plate 1 of the movement concentrically to the axis A-A.
- the axis of rotation AA of the platform 4 comprises a first motor shaft 20 and a second motor shaft 22, the platform being constructed so that these two motor shafts rotate around the same axis AA .
- the axis of the balance 2 is parallel to this axis of rotation A-A of the platform 4.

- the satellite gate 7 effectively constitutes a cage rotating concentrically with the platform 4 and in which the satellite mobile 6 is mounted crazy.
- the rotational speed of this satellite carrier 7 is a function of the speed of rotation of the platform 4 about the axis A-A.
- the second mobile 6.1 of the satellite 6, integral and coaxial with the first mobile 6.2 of the satellite 6 is engaged with a first driving wheel 8 integral with the first motor shaft 20 pivoted on the plate 1 of the movement.
- the wheel 8 and the tree 20 are integral with the second wheel 9 of the clockwork of the watch movement.

- V 4 or k 2 R 8 .
- R 6.2 R 6.1
- the corrective kinematic chain comprises a right epicyclic gear train excluding any conical gear that consumes a lot of energy.
- the gear train of this mechanism therefore comprises only spur gear trains, and is therefore particularly powerful, which allows to obtain a better performance and reduce the weight of the unbalance of the platform 4 and therefore its size and therefore allows not to reduce the power reserve of the watch movement.
- the unbalance of the platform 4 can be constituted by the regulating device, sprung balance and escapement, itself since it can be mounted on the platform 4 offset from the axis of rotation AA of it. This avoids weighing down the watch movement.
