Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of connecting the balance spring and balance shaft for mechanical clockwork characterized by the fact that this connection is not obtained by driving the ferrule on the axis of the balance, the ferrule being axially free on this axis.
- the sprung-balance pair constitutes the regulating organ, this assembly and a mechanical resonator oscillating at a frequency of, for example, 4 Hz.
- the accuracy of the watch depends on its isochronism.
- Figures 1, 2 and 3 represent by way of example a balance-spiral assembly of a traditional clockwork movement partially shown.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view from above, Figure 2 a section and Figure 3 a view of the sprung balance assembly.
- the section of a spiral has a height of about 0.12 mm and a thickness of about 0.03 mm. It is easy to understand the difficulties relating to the series production of spirals whose elastic constant of each piece produced is within a usable tolerance range and that the same is true for rockers whose inertia is also variable because of dimensional differences due to production. To meet the very precise criteria defined by theories relating to the tuning of mechanical watches; same reference as above, chapter 5, pages 88 to 142, professionals proceed by pairing: for the spirals, a measurement is made by putting each spiral in oscillation with a standard balance; this makes it possible to distribute the spirals in traditionally 20 classes of elastic constants.
- the procedure is identical, after balancing, a measurement is made by comparison with a standard spiral; they are also divided into 20 classes of inertia. Then a sprung-balance pairing takes place and the hairspring becomes permanently attached to the pendulum which is attributed to it. At this stage, numerous and delicate operations have yet to be carried out so that the sprung-balance pair can fulfill its function of regulating the clock mechanism.
- the assembly thus formed can then be assembled with the rest of the movement. during a complex operation called startup.
- the present invention aims to simplify these procedures while facilitating the start-up and adjustment of motion accuracy watchmaking.
- the invention is based on the fact that no reason justifies the necessity to drive the shell 4 on the axis of pendulum 2. Indeed it is sufficient that the ferrule 4 is radially integral with the balance shaft so that the assembly can operate.
- the ferrule 4 and the balance shaft 2 each of a plate 10 and 10 'which allow the ferrule 4 to drive radially axis balance 2, and vice versa. This knowing that the ferrule 4 is free to slide axially on the axis 2 and that its position on the latter is defined by the rigidity of the hairspring 3.
- This execution has the advantage, although not not eliminating the measuring operations respectively of the elastic constant of spirals and inertia of the pendulums, to facilitate assembly.
- the spiral 3 can be assembled beforehand on the balance bridge 5, a centering and flattening said spiral can be achieved at this stage, the contribution of pendulum 1 being done during the assembly of everything with the watch movement.
- this way of proceeding has the advantage of allowing the exchange of balance 1 and therefore adjusting the frequency without changing the geometry of the whole.
