  • the pull tab holder 50 is provided to be fixed by welding, in particular by laser welding, on the boss 610 or pin on the one hand, and on the pivot boss 210 of the pull tab 20. 'somewhere else.
  • This secondary bridge 40 and this pull tab holder 50 are preferably stepped plates having inclined faces, obtained by stamping. The folding of these components 40 and 50 during gives an elasticity on which it is possible to play during their assembly, and to achieve a prestressing.
  • the main bridge 80 comprises a housing 73 for receiving a lever 70.
  • This lever 70 comprises an operating arm 71 arranged to receive pressure from a user and away from this main bridge 80 a support arm 72 arranged to move away from this main bridge 80 a free end of the first arm 22 of the pull tab 20.
  • the main bridge 80 has a slot 75 for the insertion of this lever 70, which is substantially flat, perpendicular to one of the sides 81 or 82 of the main bridge 80, one end of this lever has hinged projections. This configuration allows insertion and tilting with a robot gripper.
  • the lever 70 is retained, in the direction of the thickness of the main bridge 80, by the pull tab 20, and is held in the other directions by the housing 73 of the main bridge 80, which is complementary to its profile .
  • a fulcrum 74 makes it possible to carry out the support required to tilt the lever 70, to lift the pull tab 20 away from the axis of the control rod 10, and thus to release the latter.
  • the toothing modules are chosen as wide as possible, so as to improve the resistance of the teeth to the service constraints.
  • the use of pivots of fairly large diameters makes it possible to reduce the Hertz pressure and to improve the wear behavior of the modules.
  • the design allows the use of stamped teeth, which is particularly economical.
  • main bridge 80 The embodiment is illustrated here with a substantially flat main bridge 80, with two substantially parallel faces. It is understood that the invention is generalizable to any form of main bridge or frame, on which there are components on different faces, these components cooperating alternately with a control member disposed between these support faces. It is for example conceivable to make the main bridge 80 in the form of a cube, a sphere, or other.
  • the various centering bosses or pivots can be made in one piece with the main bridge 80, instead of being reported on him.
  • the assembly of the components is normally feasible on each side, in a mounting sequence which ensures the maintenance, at each intermediate stage, of the components already mounted, so as to allow any movement in space with robotic handling equipment.
  • the invention also relates to a watch movement 1000 comprising at least one autonomous control mechanism 100.
  • This movement 1000 comprises a plurality of mechanisms each arranged to cooperate with one of the first control wheels 810 or first control drive means, or with one of the second control wheels 820 or the second control drive means.
  • the mechanism 100 comprises, on a first side 81 of this main bridge 80, a first control wheel 810 comprising a ratchet gear wheel 61 for a winding mechanism that includes the movement 1000 arranged to be actuated by a pivoting of the control rod 10 in a first depressed position T1 of the control rod 10, and, a second side 82 of the main bridge 80, two second control wheel 820, one comprising a first wheel 46 for controlling the setting of a time setting mechanism that comprises the movement 1000 arranged to be actuated by a pivoting of the control rod 10 in a third pulled position T3 of the control rod 10, and the other comprising a second wheel 47 for controlling the adjustment of a date mechanism included in the movement 1000 arranged to be actuated by a pivoting of the control rod 10 in a second pulled position T2 of the control rod 10.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece 2000 comprising such an autonomous control mechanism 100, or including such a watch movement 1000.
