Definitions

  • the invention relates to a movement regulating assembly for a timepiece, preferably an electric clock with vertically mounted balance staff.
  • the object of the invention is to produce an assembly of the type mentioned above which is simple to manufacture and enables the movement regulator to be exchanged without diificulty.
  • the invention is characterized in that the balance is mounted in an independent bearing frame composed of plates interengaging in form-locking fashion.
  • the bearing frame is preferably in the form of an angle frame consisting of flat plates provided with interengaging rivet-shaped or hook-shaped projections and holes or incesions. 7
  • Such an assembly can be produced far more simply and cheaply than a device produced as a one-piece stamped or bent part.
  • FIG. 1 shows as first embodiment a movement regulating assembly viewed in the direction towards the front plate of the timepiece movement
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevation of a second embodiment of the invention in which the movement regulator is omitted;
  • FIG. 5 shows the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4 viewed in the direction of the front plate of the timepiece movement
  • FIG. 6 - is a plan view of a third embodiment of the invention without showing the movement regulator
  • FIG. 7 is a view of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6 seen from the fixing plate, and
  • FIG. 8 is a side elevation of the embodiment illus trated in FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 the fiat plates which carry the bearings I 20 and 21 for the staff 15 of the balance 14 are designated by 11.
  • 16 is the spiral spring of the balance, 17 the regulator, 19 a set screw for the regulator 17 and 18 a restoring spring.
  • the plates 11 and 12 carrying the balance bearings 20 and 21 are interconnected by a plate 10.
  • the connection is effected by riveting at 11a and 12a.
  • the plate serves for fixing the whole assembly in the timepiece 3,350,874 Patented Nov. 7, 1967 movement and for this purpose is provided with holes 10a and projections 10b.
  • a side plate 13 is provided which is connected with the fixing plate 10 by the rivet joints 13a.
  • the plates carrying the balance bearings are designated by 31 and 32 and connected with the fixing plate 30 with the aid of rivet joints 32a and 31a.
  • the fixing plate 30 is provided with holes 30a and projections 30b.
  • a pillar 33 is provided for supporting the plates 31 and 32 carrying the balance bearings and is connected with these plates by rivet joints 33a.
  • the plates carrying the balance bearings are designated by 41 and 42. These plates 41 and 42 are connected by the fixing plate 40 with the aid of rivet joints 41a and 42a.
  • the side plate 43 connected with the fixing plate 40 by rivet joints 43a is provided for supporting the plates 41 and 42.
  • the plate 43 has hook-shaped projections 43b which engage in corresponding slots 41b and 42b in the plates 41 and 42.
  • These hook-shaped projections 43b are provided with wedge-shaped draw-in surfaces 430.
  • the slots 41b and 42b have corresponding wedge-shaped side surfaces.
  • Balance structure particularly for electric clock works comprising an independent bearing frame, and a balance shaft mounted vertically in the bearing frame, said bearing frame with its balance shaft being independently separable as a unit from the clock works and adapted to be secured to the clockworks.
  • bearing frame is composed of flat plates assembled in the form of an angle frame and provided with interengaging projections and holes.
