| 20100182879 | LEVER ESCAPEMENT FOR A TIMEPIECE - The escapement comprises an escape wheel assembly ( | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110037537 | THERMOCOMPENSATED MECHANICAL RESONATOR - The invention relates to a thermocompensated mechanical resonator including a strip whose core, which is of polygonal section, includes single crystal silicon. According to the invention, one or a number of faces of the core has a coating for making the resonator less sensitive to temperature variations. The invention concerns the field of timepieces. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20140355397 | METHOD OF IMPROVING THE PIVOTING OF A WHEEL SET - A method of improving pivoting of a wheel set for a scientific instrument, including an arbor pivoting or oscillating about an axis, in which: static balancing of the wheel set is performed to bring the center of gravity onto the axis; a desired value is determined for resulting unbalance moment of the wheel set about the axis, corresponding to a predetermined divergence between a first principal longitudinal axis of inertia of the wheel set, and the axis; at a predetermined speed about the axis, the resulting unbalance moment is measured with regard to the axis; and an adjustment of the resulting unbalance moment is made within a given determined tolerance with regard to the desired value, and performed by machining both sides of a median plane including the two secondary axes of inertia of the wheel set. | 12-04-2014 |
| 20150043313 | FLEXIBLE ESCAPEMENT MECHANISM HAVING A BALANCE WITH NO ROLLER - A timepiece escapement mechanism, including a balance having no roller and an escape wheel, between which impulses are transmitted by a flexible, single-piece mechanism, connected by at least one flexible strip to a fixed structure or to the wheel. Oscillation is maintained by a balance spring ending in a balance spring stud which is mobile during operation, and which is guided by a flexible guide member with flexible strips, and whose center of rotation is coaxial to the balance, the balance spring stud receiving a pin which is mobile in a cam path of the wheel. During the oscillations, the balance spring stud is moved relative to its locking position under action of force exerted by the balance spring, and the pin maintains and regulates the oscillation. | 02-12-2015 |
| 20150063082 | FLEXIBLE ESCAPEMENT MECHANISM WITH MOVABLE FRAME - An escapement mechanism for a timepiece movement or timepiece including at least one balance and at least one escape wheel. A transmission of impulses between the balance and the escape wheel is achieved by a single-piece flexible mechanism including at least one feeler spindle cooperating with the escape wheel or, respectively, with the balance, and the single-piece, flexible mechanism is connected by at least one flexible blade to a fixed structure of the timepiece, or respectively to the escape wheel. | 03-05-2015 |
