Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shaped timepiece, automatically rewound by means of a movable mass.
  • This time-piece is characterised by the feature that it comprises two rotatably mounted masses situated at positions substantially in the longitudinal axis of the movement, each of these masses co-operating with a wheel which forms part of the winding train.
  • Figure l is a plan view of the time-piece
  • Figure 2 shows a section on the line 11-11 in Figure 1.
  • a cage l carrying most of the winding members, is fixed upon the barrel bridge 2 by means of screws 3 and feet or lugs 4.
  • the wheel l4 and the barrel designated by Hi are concentric with the shaft 6 of the mass 9
  • the two masses (l and 9 are displaceable parallel to themselves. They can execute complete revolutions; and the sum of their weights is equivalent to that of a larger mass, which, in a shaped watch, would not have room to turn and would have to oscillate, which is less favourable for the winding.
  • each mass would co-operate with a dif ferent wheel, each of these wheels forming part of the winding train.
  • a shaped time-piece for automatic winding comprising a barrel, a movable winding mass and a gear train connecting said mass to said barrel; said winding mass consisting of two masses rotatably mounted at points situated substantially in the longitudinal axis of the movement and a wheel forming part of said gear train with which said masses cooperate, said masses having constantly both the same orientation with respect to said longitudinal axis.
  • a wheel concentric with said barrel a pinion rigid with said winding-train wheel and meshing with said wheel concentric with the barrel.
