Abstract

The timepiece has a dial with hands (7a, 7b) for displaying the hours of several time zones. The zones are distributed on two non-coaxial superimposed annular discs (9, 10), which are arranged beneath the dial. Each disc, carrying different time zones, is divided into twelve sectors corresponding to the zones. The dial has two windows, and each window is located opposite to a segment of a trajectory of the respective discs. Each disc is linked to manual selection units (23, 24) and the hands using a one-way kinematic link.

Description

PIECE D'HORLOGERIE PIECE OF WATCHMAKING
La présente invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un cadran muni de moyens d' affichage analogi- que sélectif et simultané des heures respectives de plusieurs fuseaux horaires, dans lesquels chacun des vingt-quatre fuseaux horaires est désigné par au moins un lieu géographique représentatif .The present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a dial provided with means of simultaneous and selective analog display of the respective times of several time zones, in which each of the twenty-four time zones is designated by at least one place geographical representation.
On connaît de telles pièces d'horlogerie qui permettent de connaître l'heure correspondant à différents fuseaux horaires. Etant donné que le nombre de ces fuseaux est de vingt-quatre avec une heure de décalage entre les fuseaux adjacents, l'angle disponible pour l'indication d'un lieu géographique caractéristique de chaque fuseau horaire n'est que de 15°, ce qui est peu pour y inscrire les indications géographiques caractéristiques, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'une montre-bracelet dont le diamètre est relativement petit.There are known such timepieces that allow to know the time corresponding to different time zones. Since the number of these timezones is twenty-four with one hour difference between the adjacent spindles, the available angle for the indication of a geographical location characteristic of each time zone is only 15 °. which is little to include the characteristic geographical indications, especially when it is about a wristwatch whose diameter is relatively small.
De plus, en général, ces disques à vingt-quatre fuseaux horaires sont généralement associés soit à une indication de 1 à 24 heures, ce qui n'est pas habituel, surtout dans les pays anglo-saxons où l'affichage de l'heure se fait sur une base de 2x12 heures avec les mentions AM et PM. Lorsque l'affichage de l'heure se fait sur 2x12 heures, le problème est celui de savoir si l'heure indiquée dans un autre fuseau horaire est une heure AM ou une heure PM.In addition, in general, these discs with twenty-four time zones are generally associated with either an indication of 1 to 24 hours, which is not usual, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries where the time display is on a basis of 2x12 hours with the mentions AM and PM. When the time is displayed on 2x12 hours, the problem is whether the time indicated in another time zone is AM or PM.
On a déjà proposé dans le EP 1 462 876 une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un affichage de deux fuseaux horaires, l'un pour indiquer l'heure locale et l'autre l'heure GMT dans Ia- quelle les heures avancent pas à pas et les minutes comportent une aiguille commune aux deux fuseaux horaires. Un tel système ne nécessite pas d'indiquer le fuseau horaire. On a aussi proposé dans le EP 1 321 831 un affichage comportant un disque pour l'indication des heures, un autre pour l'indication du fuseau horaire et une aiguille pour l'indication des minutes. Un poussoir permet de changer si- multanément l'heure et le fuseau horaire par pas de une heure. Une telle pièce d'horlogerie permet donc de changer facilement de fuseau horaire en observant l' indication du nom des lieux géographiques caractéristiques, mais elle permet de n'afficher qu'un fuseau horaire. En outre, le disque des noms des fuseaux horaires étant actionné d'un douzième de pas comme celui des heures, chaque fuseau horaire correspond en réalité à deux fuseaux décalés de douze heures l'un par rapport à l'autre.It has already been proposed in EP 1 462 876 a timepiece provided with a display of two time zones, one to indicate the local time and the other the GMT time in which the hours do not advance. step and the minutes have a needle common to both time zones. Such a system does not need to indicate the time zone. It has also been proposed in EP 1 321 831 a display comprising a disk for the indication of the hours, another for the indication of the time zone and a needle for the indication of the minutes. A pushbutton allows the time and time zone to be changed simultaneously in one hour increments. Such a timepiece therefore makes it easy to change the time zone by observing the indication of the names of the characteristic geographic locations, but it allows only one time zone to be displayed. Moreover, since the disk of the names of the time zones is actuated by a twelfth of a step like that of hours, each time zone corresponds in reality to two time zones shifted by twelve hours relative to one another.
Le but de la présente invention est de permettre d'affi- cher simultanément deux fuseaux horaires en augmentant sensiblement l'angle du secteur pour l'affichage de chacun des vingt-quatre fuseaux horaires.The object of the present invention is to allow simultaneous display of two time zones by substantially increasing the sector angle for the display of each of the twenty-four time zones.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet une pièce d'horlogerie selon la revendication 1. La présence de deux disques d'affichage des noms géographiques représentatifs des différents fuseaux horaires permet de doubler la dimension angulaire de chaque secteur portant ces noms géographiques. Elle permet également d'associer deux affichages des heures respectives des différents fuseaux ho- raires affichés, ces heures changeant en même temps que les fuseaux horaires grâce aux liaisons cinématiques unidirectionnelles entre les disques respectifs et ces affichages de 1' heure.For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a timepiece according to claim 1. The presence of two display disks of the geographical names representative of the different time zones makes it possible to double the angular dimension of each sector carrying these geographical names. It also makes it possible to associate two displays of the respective hours of the different time zones displayed, these times changing at the same time as the time zones thanks to the unidirectional kinematic links between the respective disks and these hour displays.
D'autres avantages apparaîtront dans la description sui- vante d'une forme d'exécution de la pièce d'horlogerie, objet de l'invention, qui est illustrée, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, à l'aide des dessins annexés dans lesquels: la figure 1 est une vue en plan de cette pièce d'horlogerie; la figure 2 est une vue en plan du mécanisme d'affichage de la pièce d'horlogerie de la figure 1; la figure 3 est une vue du mécanisme de la figure 2 sans les disques indicateurs montrant les chaînes cinématiques entre les disques et les affichages de l'heure des deux fuseaux horaires respectifs; la figure 4 est une vue semblable à la figure 3 sur laquelle est indiquée la chaîne cinématique reliant les trois affichages de l'heure; la figure 5 est une vue semblable à la figure 2 montrant le dispositif de correction de l'heure des deux fuseaux horaires affichés; la figure 6 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne VI-VI de la figure 2.Other advantages will appear in the following description of an embodiment of the timepiece, object of the invention, which is illustrated, schematically and by way of example, with the aid of the appended drawings. wherein: Figure 1 is a plan view of this timepiece; Figure 2 is a plan view of the display mechanism of the timepiece of Figure 1; FIG. 3 is a view of the mechanism of FIG. 2 without the indicator discs showing the kinematic chains between the discs and the time displays of the two respective time zones; Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 on which is indicated the kinematic chain connecting the three displays of the hour; FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing the device for correcting the time of the two displayed time zones; Figure 6 is a sectional view along the line VI-VI of Figure 2.
La pièce d'horlogerie illustrée par la figure 1 comporte un cadran vis-à-vis duquel se déplacent deux aiguilles, d'heures 1 et de minutes 2. Ce cadran comporte encore deux indicateurs de l'heure 3, 4 de deux fuseaux horaires, identifiés par le nom d'un ou plusieurs lieu géographique représentatif de chaque fuseau horaire. Chacun de ces fuseaux horaires apparaît au travers d'un guichet 5, 6 traversant le cadran de la pièce d'horlogerie. Ces indicateurs de l'heure 3, 4 et ces guichets sont alignés sur une ligne diamétrale 3 heures 9 heures du cadran. Chaque indicateur de l'heure comporte une graduation de 1 a 12 et en son centre, une indication des heures diurnes, formée par un secteur diamétral blanc et une indication des heures nocturnes, formée par le secteur diamétral complémentaire noir.The timepiece illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a dial facing which two hands, hours 1 and 2, move. This dial has two time indicators 3, 4 of two time zones. , identified by the name of one or more geographic locations representative of each time zone. Each of these time zones appears through a window 5, 6 through the dial of the timepiece. These indicators of time 3, 4 and these windows are aligned on a line diametric 3 hours 9 hours of the dial. Each hour indicator has a scale from 1 to 12 and at its center is an indication of the daytime hours, formed by a white diametrical sector and an indication of the nocturnal hours, formed by the black complementary diametrical sector.
Chaque indicateur de l'heure d'un fuseau horaire comporte deux aiguilles 7a, 8a, respectivement 7b, 8b pour indiquer respectivement l'heure à l'aide de l'aiguille 7a, 7b et si l'heure indiquée correspond à une heure diurne ou nocturne ou, en d'autre terme, si il s'agit d'une heure dite AM ou PM selon la dénomination anglo-saxonne à l'aide des aiguilles 8a, respectivement 8b qui se déplacent en regard des secteurs blancs ou noirs des cadrans 3 et 4. Comme on le verra plus en détail par la suite, les aiguilles 7a, 7b font deux tours en vingt-quatre heures, tandis que les aiguilles 8a, 8b ne font qu'un tour pendant la même période.Each hour indicator of a time zone has two hands 7a, 8a, respectively 7b, 8b to indicate respectively the hour with the help of the needle 7a, 7b and if the indicated time corresponds to a day or night time or, in other words, whether it is a time called AM or PM according to the English name using the needles 8a, respectively 8b which is move in comparison with white or black sectors of the dials 3 and 4. As will be seen in more detail later, the needles 7a, 7b make two turns in twenty-four hours, while the needles 8a, 8b are only a ride during the same period.
On retrouve sur la figure 2 les deux disques indicateurs 9, 10 des deux fuseaux horaires apparaissant dans les fenêtres 5, respectivement 6. Chacun de ces disques indicateurs 9, 10 comporte une denture intérieure en prise avec un pignon 11, respectivement 12.FIG. 2 shows the two indicator discs 9, 10 of the two time zones appearing in the windows 5, respectively 6. Each of these indicator discs 9, 10 has an internal toothing in engagement with a pinion 11, respectively 12.
Si on se reporte maintenant à la figure 3, celle-ci mon- tre, par deux lignes brisées 17, 18 reliant les centres des mobiles concernés la liaison cinématique unidirectionnelle entre les deux pignons 11, respectivement 12 et les mobiles formés par des étoiles 13, respectivement 14, coaxiales de mobiles dentés 15, respectivement 16. Les étoiles 13, 14 sont solidaires des aiguilles d'heures 7a, respectivement 7b, alors que les roues dentées coaxiales 15, 16 sont solidaires respectivement des aiguilles 8a, 8b.Referring now to FIG. 3, the latter shows, by two broken lines 17, 18 connecting the centers of the mobiles concerned the unidirectional kinematic connection between the two pinions 11, respectively 12 and the mobiles formed by stars 13. respectively, 14, coaxial toothed mobile 15, respectively 16. The stars 13, 14 are integral with the hour hand 7a, respectively 7b, while the coaxial gear wheels 15, 16 are secured respectively to the needles 8a, 8b.
Chaque chaîne cinématique 17, 18 est solidaire d'un mobile en étoile 19, respectivement 20 et d'un mobile à trans- mission unidirectionnelle 21, respectivement 22. Chaque mobile en étoile 19, 20 est associé à une bascule de changement de fuseau horaire à cliquet 23, respectivement 24. La bascule 23 sert à entraîner le mobile en étoile 19 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, alors que la bascule 24 sert à en- traîner le mobile en étoile 20 dans le sens contraire à celui des aiguilles d'une montre. Chaque mobile en étoile 19, 20 est solidaire d'une roue dentée 25, respectivement 26. La roue dentée 25 engrène directement avec le mobile de trans- mission unidirectionnel 21, tandis que la roue dentée 26 engrène avec le mobile de transmission unidirectionnel 22 par l'intermédiaire d'un renvoi 27, en sorte que les deux mobiles de transmission unidirectionnels 21, 22 tournent dans le même sens et entraînent chacun une roue dentée dont seule la roue 28 solidaire de l'étoile 13 est visible sur la figure 6. Comme illustré, un double mobile réducteur 29 permet d'entraîner la roue dentée 15 dans un rapport 1/2 par rapport à la roue 28, solidaire de l'axe portant l'aiguille des heures 7a et l'étoile 13. Une disposition identique avec un mobile réducteur 30 permet à la transmission unidirectionnelle 22 d'entraîner les aiguilles 7b, 8b.Each kinematic chain 17, 18 is integral with a star wheel 19, respectively 20 and a unidirectional transmission wheel 21, respectively 22. Each star wheel 19, 20 is associated with a time zone changeover latch The flip-flop 23 serves to drive the star wheel 19 in a clockwise direction, while the latch 24 serves to engage the star wheel 20 in the opposite direction to that of the latches 23 and 24 respectively. Clockwise. Each star wheel 19, 20 is integral with a toothed wheel 25, respectively 26. The toothed wheel 25 meshes directly with the moving wheel 25. unidirectional mission 21, while the toothed wheel 26 meshes with the unidirectional transmission mobile 22 via a return 27, so that the two unidirectional transmission mobiles 21, 22 rotate in the same direction and each drive a wheel toothed of which only the wheel 28 integral with the star 13 is visible in Figure 6. As illustrated, a double mobile gear 29 allows to drive the toothed wheel 15 in a ratio 1/2 relative to the wheel 28, secured to the axis carrying the hour hand 7a and the star 13. An identical arrangement with a reducing gear 30 allows the unidirectional transmission 22 to drive the needles 7b, 8b.
Grâce à ces deux chaînes cinématiques 17, 18, tout changement de fuseau horaire commandé par l'une ou l'autre des bascules 23, 24 provoque le déplacement par incréments d'un pas, de l'étoile 19 ou 20, ce qui correspond à un déplacement du disque indicateur 9 ou 10 de 30° correspondant à un fuseau horaire et simultanément au déplacement de l'aiguille 7a ou 7b d'une heure et à celui de l'aiguille 8a ou 8b d'un vingt- quatrième de circonférence soit 15° ou d'un demi pas par rapport aux aiguilles 7a, 7b. Ainsi tout changement de fuseau horaire provoque le changement simultané de l'heure correspondant à ce fuseau horaire, indiquée par une des aiguilles 7a, 7b et le déplacement d'un vingt-quatrième de circon- férence de l'aiguille 8a ou 8b indiquant les heures diurnes et nocturnes ou AM et PM.With these two kinematic chains 17, 18, any change of time zone controlled by one or the other of the latches 23, 24 causes the displacement in increments of a step, the star 19 or 20, which corresponds at a displacement of the indicator disk 9 or 10 of 30 ° corresponding to a time zone and simultaneously to the displacement of the needle 7a or 7b by one hour and that of the needle 8a or 8b of a twenty-fourth of circumference either 15 ° or a half step relative to the needles 7a, 7b. Thus any change of time zone causes the simultaneous change of the time corresponding to this time zone, indicated by one of the needles 7a, 7b and the movement of a twenty-fourth circumference of the needle 8a or 8b indicating the day and night hours or AM and PM.
La figure 4 illustre la chaîne cinématique 31, passant par les centres des mobiles concernés, entre un mobile 32 du rouage de minuterie d'entraînement des aiguilles indicatrices 1, 2 des heures et minutes de l'heure locale, situé au centre de la pièce d'horlogerie et les étoiles 13, 14 solidaires des axes portant les aiguilles indicatrices de l'heure 7a, 7b des deux fuseaux horaires sélectionnés par les bascules 23, 24. Le mobile 32 du rouage de minuterie engrène avec un renvoi 33 en prise avec une roue 34 portant un secteur denté 35. Ce secteur denté est entraîné à raison de un tour par heure, vient en prise à chaque rotation avec un secteur denté interne d'un râteau 36. Ce râteau 36 porte un cliquet 36a d'entraînement de l'étoile 13. Ce râteau 36 présente encore un secteur denté externe en prise avec un renvoi 37 associé à un ressort spiral de rappel 38. Ce renvoi 37 est en prise avec un second râteau 39 qui porte un cliquet 39a destiné à entraîner pas à pas l'étoile 14 solidaire de l'aiguille des heures 7b.FIG. 4 illustrates the kinematic chain 31, passing through the centers of the mobile units concerned, between a mobile 32 of the driving timer wheel of the indicator hands 1, 2 of the hours and minutes of the local time, located in the center of the room timepieces and the stars 13, 14 integral with the axes carrying the hour indicator hands 7a, 7b of the two time zones selected by the latches 23, 24. The mobile 32 of the clockwork gear meshes with a gear 33 engaged with a wheel 34 carrying a toothed sector 35. This toothed sector is driven at a rate of one revolution per hour, engaged with each rotation with an internal tooth sector of a rake 36. This rake 36 carries a pawl 36a for driving the star 13. This rake 36 also has an outer toothed sector meshing with a return 37 associated with a spiral spring 38. This return 37 is engaged with a second rake 39 which carries a pawl 39a for driving step by step the star 14 integral with the hour hand 7b.
Ainsi, à chaque heure, le secteur denté 35 entraîne le râteau 36 dans le sens contraire à celui des aiguilles d'une montre. Ce déplacement angulaire est transmis au râteau 39 par le renvoi 37 qui arme en même temps le ressort spiral de rappel 38. Lorsque le secteur denté 35 quitte le secteur denté interne du râteau 36, le ressort spiral 38 se détend en entraînant les deux râteaux 36 et 39 lesquels entraînent à l'aide de leurs cliquets respectifs 36a, 39a les étoiles 13 et 14 d'un pas et les aiguilles 8a, 8b d'un vingt-quatrième de circonférence ou d'un demi pas. En raison de la présence des mobiles de transmission unidirectionnelle 21, 22, l'entraînement des organes indicateurs 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b des heures des deux fuseaux horaires n' est pas transmis aux pignons 11 et 12 d'entraînement des disques 9 et 10 d'indication des fuseaux horaires .Thus, every hour, the toothed sector 35 drives the rake 36 in the opposite direction to that of the clockwise. This angular displacement is transmitted to the rake 39 by the reference 37 which at the same time arms the spiral spring 38. When the toothed sector 35 leaves the inner toothed sector of the rake 36, the spiral spring 38 expands by driving the two rakes 36 and 39 which lead with their respective pawls 36a, 39a the stars 13 and 14 of a step and the needles 8a, 8b of a twenty-fourth of circumference or a half step. Due to the presence of the unidirectional transmission mobiles 21, 22, the driving of the indicator members 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b of the hours of the two time zones is not transmitted to the drive gears 11 and 12 of the discs 9 and 9. 10 indication of time zones.
Le mécanisme d' affichage des fuseaux horaires comporte encore deux bascules de correction à cliquets 40, 41 (figure 5) agencées pour déplacer pas à pas les étoiles 13 et 14. Ces bascules de correction 40, 41 ne sont utilisée que lors de la mise en marche initiale de la pièce d'horlogerie et lors du passage de l'heure d'été à l'heure d'hiver ou inversement, pour les pays dans lesquels l'heure change au cours de l'année . The time zone display mechanism further comprises two ratchet correction flip-flops 40, 41 (FIG. 5) arranged to move steps 13 and 14 stepwise. These correction flip-flops 40, 41 are used only when setting the time zones. in the initial stages of the timepiece and during the transition from summer time to winter time or vice versa, for countries where the time changes during the year.
