Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chronograph according to the independent claim.
  • Advantageous embodiments will be apparent from the dependent claims.
  • chronographs which have a Rattrapantenfunktion.
  • the rattrapant mechanism is most often used to temporarily stop the stop hand during the stop while the measurement process continues to allow it to project past the measured total time. This is the case, for example, to allow the safe reading of split times, while measuring the end time continues for now.
  • Such a chronograph with only one Rattrapante pointer is off DE4209580A1 known.
  • this known chronograph can be stopped together after a start by pressing the first control element of the chronograph hand and the Rattrapante pointer. It can also be stopped with a second actuator only Rattrapante Serviceer while the chronograph hand continues to run. So split times can be measured within a minute. If the second control element is actuated again, the rattrapante pointer jumps to the position of the current chronograph hand and continues to run together with it and is ready for a new measurement of an intermediate time. The measurement of split times can be repeated any number of times, but always the last measured split time is lost. If you also want to stop the chronograph hand, the first control element must be pressed again. So there are two states of the standing pointers. Either both hands are on top of each other or each pointer has its own position. This means that only two times are permanently visible due to the position of the standing hands.
  • CH1673837 relates to a stopwatch equipped stopwatch in which the fetching pointer is carried by a pin passing through a tube and carried over an elastically stressed hammer and a heart.
  • EP1584997 relates to a chronograph with a movement of which a minute chronograph hand and a number of, in particular, thirty steps per revolution, a minute chronograph hand are rotatably driven, with a control device for stopping the second chronograph hand and the minute chronograph hand, which is a trigger element for starting and stopping the second chronograph hand and the minute towing pointer.
  • EP1491972A1 relates to a watch, in particular a wristwatch, with an analogue time display which has at least one minute and one hour indicator.
  • the clock is also equipped with a rattrapante mechanism having at least one coaxial with the hands of the normal time display arranged minute rattrapante hands and / or hour rattrapante hands.
  • the rattrapante hand (s) are moved in a normal mode of the clock in synchronism with the hands of the time display and in an overlapping position relative thereto, and can be stopped in a stop mode to mark any time, and again to overlap with the hands of the normal time display Position relative to these.
  • the positive clutch of the Rattrappanten mechanism is preferably arranged non-coaxial with the axis of the movement of the clock.
  • DE10135110A1 refers to a chronograph with a Chrnographenantrieb, by the manual actuation of a first actuator a chronograph hand shaft of a chronograph is rotatably driven and with a coaxial to the chronograph pointer shaft Rattrapanten pointer shaft of the chronograph pointer covering driving Rattrapante pointer.
  • a second heart is arranged to reset the chronograph hand on the chronograph hand shaft and chronograph hand wave and Rattrappante hand wave are rotatably by a Rattrappanteherz with a non-positive coupling with each other connected.
  • Rattrappanterad On the Rattrappante pointer shaft a Rattrappanterad is arranged, which can be grasped by the forceps arms of a Rattrappantenzange under spring tension and by friction or positive locking navblockierbar. Furthermore, a moving by manual actuation of a second actuating element between a blocking position and a Entblockier too switching element is present, by which the forceps arms are lifted from its rotational movement of Rattrappante Adjuster movable.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a chronograph of the type mentioned, which allows a differentiated measurement capability than the known from the prior art chronographs.
  • Another object of the invention is to be able to simultaneously visualize the beginning and end of three events within a process for registration, so that when all three pointers are up, three times are permanently available for registration.
  • the two rattrapante hands can be stopped independently of each other after a common start, and thus advantageously two can be used with the chronograph according to the invention different split times are displayed.
  • a dynamic tolerance measurement is advantageously possible in which only the first Rattrapanten pointer is stopped and it is looked at whether an external event is within a period of time, which is stopped with the second Rattrapanten pointer. All other events are measured within the tolerance between the two rattrapante hands only with the chronograph hand. This advantageously increases the possible use of the chronograph according to the invention.
  • the chronograph pointer shaft is pierced and receives the first rattrapante wave.
  • the second rattrapante pointer shaft is also pierced and receives the chronograph hand wave so that the two rattrapante waves are located on either side of a base of the chronograph.
  • the normal movement of the chronograph is located outside the chronograph hands for the time of day.
  • Rattrapanterium can also be arranged on each of the rattrapante pointer shafts advantageous spring-biased by the associated forceps arms of the two Rattrapantezangen and are rotationally blocked by frictional or positive locking, the respective forceps arms by manual operation of an actuating element from the respective Rattrapanterad are movable and lifted by the tong arms are held by a movable column wheel in a blocking position and an end blocking position.
