Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening assembly for the outer end of the spiral of a sprung balance device for a timepiece. It also relates to a corresponding sprung balance device for a timepiece, as well as the associated timepiece.
  • a regulating member comprising a sprung balance device.
  • the inner end of the hairspring is fixed to a ferrule provided on the axis of pivoting of the balance.
  • a peg holder housing a pin in order to fix and position the outer end of the hairspring, it is known to use a peg holder housing a pin, in combination with a clamping screw for tightening the bolt against the portion of the hairspring engaged in the bolt carrier.
  • the bolt carrier is conventionally attached to a cock also serving to fix one end of the axis of the balance.
  • the manipulations to be performed with these various elements are delicate because access is restricted and the parts are very small.
  • it is common for the spiral clamping screw or peg holder to come loose, and / or be lost during handling such as adjusting the active length of the hairspring.
  • the invention provides various means.
  • the invention firstly provides a fastening assembly of the outer end of the spiral of a sprung balance device for a timepiece as defined by claim 1 of the patent.
  • Such a device makes it easier to set up and adjust the active length of the hairspring. This ease of handling also makes it possible to obtain a finer adjustment of the active length.
  • the invention also provides a sprung balance device for a timepiece as defined by claim 6 of the patent
  • the clamping screw comprises a needle provided in the extension of the threaded body, opposite the screw head, and the stud has a housing in which the needle is insertable.
  • the tapping of the bolt carrier is preferably oriented along a substantially radial axis with respect to the ferrule axis, and made on the side remote from the channel relative to the axis of the ferrule, the bearing face of the channel being provided substantially opposite the tapping.
  • the hanger of the hairspring is convex, with a center of curvature substantially corresponding to the axis of the hairspring.
  • the stud is provided with an anti-friction pad disposed on the face of the stud designed to cooperate with the hairspring.
  • an anti-friction pad disposed on the face of the stud designed to cooperate with the hairspring.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a view of a sprung balance device for a timepiece, showing the cock 5 conventionally used to pivot one of the ends of the balance shaft A 6.
  • the other end of the balance shaft A is pivoted on the plate, in a conventional manner.
  • a shell 4 is driven on the axis of the balance and allows the attachment of the central portion of the hairspring 1.
  • the cock 5 also serves as a support for a stud holder 2 for fixing the outer end of the hairspring 1.
  • the cock 5 also supports a racket 8, provided to cooperate with the outer turn of the hairspring 1, upstream of the end to fix.
  • the bolt carrier 2 extends radially with respect to the axis of the balance 6, towards the outer turns of the spiral.
  • the angular positioning of the bolt carrier 2 is provided so as to allow the attachment of the free outer end of the hairspring 1.
  • a convex channel 3, with a center of curvature provided at the axis of the balance 6, is provided in the stud holder 2.
  • the convex shape of the channel 3 is adapted to the profile of the spiral area to be fixed, to facilitate its insertion.
  • the side of the channel 3 remote from the axis of the balance 6 is pierced by a tapped hole 14 provided radially and passing through said side.
  • the tapped hole 14 serves as a housing and positioning means for a clamping screw 11.
  • This screw 11 comprises a threaded body 12, allowing this positioning by screwing, thanks to the thread 13 of the body 12 cooperating with the corresponding internal thread of the tapped hole 14.
  • the channel 3 makes it possible to accommodate at least a portion of the peak 10.
  • the peak is provided radially movable and laterally in the channel 3.
  • Such a movable assembly makes it possible to fix the end of the spring 1 by clamping and to realize its precise positioning in the channel, so as to adjust the active length of the hairspring.
  • the stud 10 has a shape adapted to that of the channel 3 and that of the spiral 1, so as to provide a good contact surface between the stud and the adjacent face of the spiral.
  • the stud 10 is held in place in the channel 3 by the screw 11 for tightening and adjustment.
  • This screw has a dual function: it makes it possible to keep the piton 10 in position in the channel 3 before clamping the hairspring and to adjust the level or level of tightening of the hairspring 1, by making it possible to push the hairspring against a bearing face 7 of the channel 3.
  • the stud 10 is pushed against the bearing face 7, according to a force determined by the tightening / loosening rate of the screw 11. By unscrewing the screw 11, the clamping force decreases until the hairspring is free to slide in the channel 3, depending on the looseness level.
  • the function of holding the pin 10 by the clamping screw 11 is provided by a needle 15 provided in the extension of the threaded body 12 of the screw.
  • the pin 10 can be easily maintained in the channel 3 without the risk of being lost.
  • the watchmaker can focus on the positioning of the outer coil of the spiral 3 on the door bolt before tightening the screw without worrying about losing the stud and / or the screw. This configuration allows a safe and fast assembly.
  • the needle 15 is arranged in continuity with the threaded body 12, the two elements preferably forming a single piece, obtained for example by machining or by any other manufacturing means to obtain a level of accuracy in line with this type of mechanism.
  • the piton 10 illustrated at figure 2 carries an anti-friction seal 18 or pad, making it possible to slide the hairspring 1 with ease when the peg is not tight against the bearing face 7 by the screw 11. The precise adjustments of the position of attachment of the hairspring are then easy to achieve.
  • the tightening screw 11 is rotated so that the pin 10 releases the space provided for the hairspring in the channel. channel 3.
  • the hairspring is then placed and / or its longitudinal position adjusted.
  • the screw 11 is rotated so as to push the pin 10 against the hairspring which is blocked by the bearing face 7, until a sufficient tightening is obtained to prevent any slipping of the hairspring. in the channel.
