Embodiment Construction

[0018] The invention relates to a timepiece mechanism arranged to store a setting selected by a user.

[0019] According to the invention, this mechanism is based on the use of at least one programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel forming a physical medium for the mechanical storage of specific settings.

[0020] This memory wheel 30 for a timepiece mechanism comprises a wheel 31 movable about an axis of rotation 33 and comprises means 36 for driving in rotation.

[0021] In a preferred but not exclusive embodiment, as shown, this wheel 31 is toothed and comprises a ring gear 32 forming means 36 for driving rotation. In the particular application shown, this ring gear 32 is an external ring gear, but the invention can be applied in the same manner where the ring gear 32 is an internal ring gear or even bell-shaped or otherwise.

[0022] Without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the invention, the invention can also be applied to uncogge...

Abstract

The invention concerns a programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel (30) for a timepiece, including a wheel (31) that is mobile about an axis of rotation (33). It is wherein it includes a mobile heart-piece (40) which pivots relative to said wheel (31), between indexing positions (34) of said wheel (31) with which said heart-piece (40) is arranged to cooperate via an indexing finger (41) included therein and towards which said heart-piece is returned radially by resilient return means (43), and which includes at least one support surface (45) arranged for cooperating with a timepiece mechanism. The invention also concerns a timepiece mechanism incorporating at least one memory wheel of this type (30), wherein, in proximity to each wheel (30), it includes support means arranged for cooperating with said support surface (45) of said memory wheel (30) in a disconnectable manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel for timepieces. [0002] The invention also relates to a timepiece mechanism incorporating a memory wheel of this type. [0003] The invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and more particularly to a timepiece mechanism which can be integrated in a watch. Background technique [0004] Mechanical memory devices in the form of perforated or machined discs or cards are known, for example comprising toothed areas alternating with toothless areas or even slots or stops of different lengths. These devices are fairly reliable, but once made they cannot be changed. The only way to change the adjustment data contained in these mechanical memory means is to change them completely and replace them with another similar support containing different adjustment data. [0005] Devices with stops or levers for changing the position are also known, which generally allow ...
