Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for displaying a cycle of successive images of the moon during a lunation in a circular window of a dial by means of a mobile indicator disposed behind the window and having, on its face appearing in the window, lines of separation of different forms between light fields and dark fields intended to represent respectively the illuminated part and the dark part of the moon seen from the ground.
  • the invention also relates to a device for displaying a cycle of successive images of the moon during a lunation in a circular window of a dial, especially for the implementation of the aforementioned method, comprising a movable indicator disposed behind said window and drive means for moving the indicator stepwise so that different parts of a band-shaped region of the indicator can be successively viewed in the window.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a watch comprising a watch movement and such a display device, the driving means of which are controlled by the watch movement.
  • a disc carrying two images of the full moon makes a U-turn by lunation behind a semicircular window of particular shape, illustrated for example in the patent US 508 467.
  • L one of the edges of the window has two convex arcs that bite on the image of the full moon, respectively as the moon grows and decreases.
  • the shape of the moon image thus displayed is correct only at the beginning and at the end of the lunation (starting from the new moon), when the illuminated part has the shape of a crescent, and at the full moon.
  • the displayed image has a wrong shape, because the shape of the line of separation between the light and the dark zone is not in conformity with reality: it is curved instead of being straight at first. and in the last quarter, and it is curved in the wrong direction between the first and the last quarter.
  • this display mode gives an image of the moon that does not conform to reality during most of the lunation.
  • Patent CH 598 638 provides a method and a display device of the kind indicated in the preamble above, using a circular window in front of a disc which rotates every two days around the axis of the pins of a needle. shows and which bears in this case a series of fifteen successive images of the lunar disc as seen in the sky during the lunation.
  • the congestion of each image and the need to not see the edge of a second image in the window make the diameter of the window and the image must be less than about one seventh of the diameter of the disk, so is particularly small on a dial wristwatch.
  • These images are more realistic than in conventional devices, but their evolution remains quite crude since the display changes only every two days or so. If one wanted a more frequent update and therefore a better conformity of the representation every day, it would be necessary to double the number of images on the disk and thus to reduce so much their size that the display would lose its attraction.
  • the subject of the present invention is a method and a device for displaying lunar phases which make it possible to avoid to a large extent the disadvantages of the prior art and to show, in a circular window, an image of the illuminated area and the dark zone of the moon that is as close as possible to reality, and in particular much better in line with reality than in displays of the classical type.
  • the subject of the invention is a method and a device making it possible to display, in particular in a watch, images of the lunar disk that are both very close to reality each day and relatively large compared to the dial. of the watch.
  • a basic idea of the present invention is to use the same line of separation, located on the moving indicator, to form different successive images of the moon by slightly moving this line to move from one image to the next .
  • a wristwatch 1 having, on a fixed dial 2, an analog time display by means of hands of hours 3, minutes 4 and seconds 5 is recognized.
  • a display of the date by means of a date disk 6 appearing in a window 7 of the dial, as well as a moon phase display by means of a moon indicator disc 8 appearing in a circular window 9 of the dial 2
  • the two discs 6 and 8 are concentric and both rotate about the axis of rotation of the hands, preferably located in the center of the dial, and they may be located in the same plane behind the dial, the disc 6 being annular as usual.
  • the functions of the watch are controlled by means of a ring 11 of known type.
  • the watch 1 is a multifunctional electronic watch and its display members are actuated by means of electric stepper motors.
  • the moon indicator disc 8 is provided with a drive mechanism (not shown) having its own stepper motor, with a gear ratio large enough that, for example, 1000 steps of the motor are necessary to produce a gear. complete rotation of the disk 8.
  • the drive of the date disk 6 is also effected by means of a motor dedicated thereto, whereas the driving of the hands 3 to 5 can be carried out by means of one or more other engines.
  • the user of the watch sees a circular portion of the disk 8, which represents the current appearance of the moon seen from the ground and has, for the most part, a light portion 12 and a dark portion 13 representing respectively the illuminated part and the unlit part of the moon.
  • Parts 12 and 13 are delimited by a line of separation that can be straight or more or less curved depending on the age of the moon, while no line of separation is visible at the new moon and the full moon.
  • Figure 2 shows a preferred arrangement of the upper face of the disk 8 in the first embodiment of the invention.
  • An annular band-like region whose width in the radial direction is slightly greater than the diameter of the window 9 of the dial, is subdivided in its circumference into successive alternately light and dark fields, namely five light fields 21 to 25 and five dark fields 26 to 30, with five pairs of dividing lines, the two lines of each pair being symmetrical to each other.
  • the light field 21 is separated from the adjacent dark fields 26 and 27 by two lines of separation 31 and 32 with a strong convex curvature of the light side, their respective directions of curvature being opposite.
  • the light field 22 is separated from the adjacent dark fields 27 and 28 by two lines of separation 33 and 34 with a small concave curvature on the light side
  • the light field 23 is separated from the adjacent dark fields 28 and 29 by two lines of separation 35 and 36 with a strong concave curvature on the bright side
  • the bright field 24 is separated from the adjacent dark fields 29 and 30 by two separation lines 37 and 38 with a low convex curvature on the light side
  • the light field 25 is separated from the fields adjacent circles 30 and 26 by two rectilinear dividing lines 39 and 40.
  • the circles 41 and 42 drawn in FIG. 2 serve only to highlight the notion of a band having light and dark fields, but they are not really drawn on the disc 8.
  • the relatively low curvature lines 33, 34, 37 and 38 are preferably elliptical, to give an image as conform as possible to reality, while the relatively high curvature lines 31, 32, 35 and 36 may have an elliptical or other shape, for example circular, without altering the image of the moon.
  • the lines 31 and 36 have the same shape, the concavity being on the side of a bright field in one case and the side of a dark field in the other case. The same is true for lines 32 and 35, 33 and 38, 34 and 37 respectively.
  • this first embodiment uses only five different forms of separation lines.
  • the annular band 20 of the disc 8 comprises only five light fields and five dark fields and that several of these fields occupy, in the direction of the circumference, a length less than the diameter of the circular window 9, is a remarkable advantage, because the ratio between the diameter of the window and that of the moon indicator disc may be much greater than in the illustrated prior art by the patent CH 598 638 mentioned in the introduction. This ratio can reach about 1: 3.6 with the arrangement according to FIG. 2.
  • the invention offers the possibility of displaying a relatively large image of the moon, while varying this image often enough for it remains true to reality.
  • Each of the dividing lines 31 to 40 is used during a given phase of the lunation, the direction and magnitude of its curvature being determined according to the appearance of the moon from the ground during this phase, that is, that is, essentially the general shape of the illuminated part of the moon.
  • Figure 3 shows twenty-eight different images of the moon, that the disk 8 can present in the round window 9 of the dial in successive positions P1 to P28.
  • the disk 8 is able to display at will a larger number of different images.
  • a number of positions and images divisible by four are preferably chosen in order to display the same number of images in each quarter of a lunation.
  • the electronics can be programmed in a way that varies this number.
  • the disk 8 performs either a relatively small, so-called secondary rotation, having the effect of slightly moving the separation line appearing in the window 9, or a relatively large, so-called primary rotation, to bring about one or two new fields and / or a new dividing line in front of the window 9 or at the edge thereof.
  • the primary rotations are greater than or equal to about 45 degrees, while the secondary rotations are of the order of 1 to 4 degrees, depending on the number of positions and the number of separation lines on the disc.
  • the position P1 represents the new moon by showing only the dark field 26 in the window, then a small (secondary) rotation of the disk 8 in the direction of the arrow A makes appear in the window the dividing line 31 and a little of the field 21 clear to present a crescent moon end in the P2 position.
  • the following positions P3 and P4 are reached each time by a small additional rotation of the disk 8 in the direction of A. Beyond, the curvature of the line 31 would be too strong compared to the real appearance of the moon. This is why we will use in a second part of the lunation line of separation 37, which has an elliptical shape and has a smaller curvature in its middle part than the line 31.
  • the electronic circuits of the watch command the electric motor so as to rapidly perform a large number of steps to produce a large (primary) rotation of the disk 8, either in the direction of A, or in the opposite direction, bringing the line 37 and the fields 24 and 29 into the position P5 in front of the window 9. Subsequently, the line 37 is advanced by a secondary rotation to the position P6, then to the position P7. To obtain the next position P8 which represents the moon in the first quarter, the straight line 39 is brought into the window by a primary rotation of the disk 8.
  • the line 39 is then replaced in the window by the line 33 with a small concave curvature at the position P9, then two secondary rotations of the disk 8 bring the line 33 successively to the positions P10 and P11.
  • a primary rotation then replaces the line 33 with the line 35 with greater curvature for the position P12.
  • the following secondary rotations of the disk 8 in the direction of A first bring the line 35 successively to the positions P13 and P14, then bring this line out of the window 9, where it only sees the light field 23 to represent the full moon in position P15.
  • the following secondary rotations of the disk show in the window the line of separation 36 located on the other side of the field 23, successively in the positions P16, P17 and P18.
  • a primary rotation then replaces line 36 with line 34 with lower curvature for position P19.
  • the following secondary rotations of the disk 8 in the direction of A first bring the line 34 successively to the positions P20 and P21, then a primary rotation replaces this line by the straight line 40 to represent the moon at the last quarter in the P22 position.
  • Line 40 is then replaced in the window at position P23 by line 38 with a small concave curvature, and then two secondary rotations of disc 8 bring line 38 successively to positions P24 and P25.
  • a primary rotation then replaces line 38 with the line 32 with the highest curvature for position P26.
  • the transition from one of the positions P1 to P28 to the next can be done either at a fixed time or at fixed time intervals corresponding to 1/28 of the average duration of the synodic lunation, namely about 25.312 hours, the passage from P1 to P2 being made for example at half a range after the moment of the new moon.
  • This moment is taken from an ephemeris table that is stored in the perpetual calendar electronic watch.
  • the electronics of the watch can be programmed to display, in particular by means of the disc 8 as represented in FIG. 2, any number of images of the moon during a lunation. , changing the image at times that the producer of the watch can freely predict by appropriate programming. For example, about sixty different positions of the disc may be provided to display each evening and each morning an image consistent with the actual appearance of the moon.
  • the electronic watch illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 may further be adapted to display the age of the moon, that is, the number of days since the last new moon.
  • a simple way is to temporarily indicate the age of the moon in the window 7 by means of the date indicator 6 in response to a specific maneuver of the crown 11.
  • Another construction of the watch may include an additional indicator , for example an annular disk similar to the date disk 6 and arranged concentrically thereon, to indicate numerically the age of the moon in an additional window 44 as shown in broken lines in Figure 1.
  • the watch 1 is a watch with a mechanical clockwork movement and its display members are driven by this movement.

  • the pattern of each of the other lines 62, 64, 67 and 69 is chosen to prevent the dark field adjacent to that line from appearing while the adjacent bright field is visible in the window.
  • the six circles 9a to 9f each represent the relative position of the window 9 at the beginning of the corresponding part of the cycle, with respect to the bright field appearing in the window in this part of the cycle.
  • the position 9a gives the image of the new moon and it is tangent to the line 61 which will then appear in the window when the disk 8 will perform small secondary rotations, following the same principle as in the first embodiment.
  • This line is convex on the side of the light field 51.
  • the other line 62 delimiting this field 51 will come close to the edge of the window 9

  • Each index 47 is placed on the disk in an angular position as it appears in the elongated window 45 and indicates on the graduation 46 the age of the correct moon at the moment when a primary rotation brings this line in the circular window 9. The following secondary rotations advance the index along the scale, until the next primary rotation brings another line of separation and another index into the windows. Due to the short length of the window 45, the indexes 47 can be placed on the disk so that only one index at a time is visible in this window. Note also that the indexes 47 and the elongate window 45, instead of being closer to the center of the disk 8 than the circular window 9, could be located further outside in the region of the periphery of the disk 8.
  • the mode of indicating the age of the moon illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 can also be used in an electronic watch of the type illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the separation lines used have only three different shapes, namely a curved shape with center of curvature on the left when the line is at the top of the drawing, in the case of lines 61 and 66, a curved shape with center of curvature on the right in the case of the lines 65 and 70, and a rectilinear shape in the case of the lines 63 and 68.
  • the small number of the light fields 51 to 55 distributed in the annular band 50 makes it possible to use a window 9 occupying a fairly large portion of the diameter of the disk 8, so also the dial 2 of the watch 1.
