[0162] In the collet 50 of the first embodiment, as the concave portion 60, a stepped portion 61 is formed on one end surface 56a of the collet 50 (refer to Figure 7 ). In contrast, in the collet 50 of the second embodiment, as Figure 14 As shown, a groove 64 is formed on one end surface 56 a of the collet 50 as the recess 60 , which is different from the first embodiment in this point. In addition, detailed descriptions of parts having the same configuration as those of the first embodiment are omitted.

[0163] The groove 64 is formed so as to extend in the circumferential direction of the main body portion 51 on one end surface 56 a of the collet 50 . The ...

In contrast, in the collet 50 of the third embodiment, as Figure 16 As shown, the recessed portion 60 is different from the first embodiment in that a through-hole 66 communicating with both end faces 56 a and 56 b in the axial direction of the inner pile 50 is formed. In addition, detailed descriptions of parts having the same configuration as those of the first embodiment are omitted.

Abstract

The invention relates to a ferrule, a balance wheel having the ferrule and a timekeeper, and the ferrule is to prevent the formation of cracks in a main body portion when a balance staff is externally press-fitted. The ferrule (50) is used to fix the inner end (43) of a spring (40) to the balance staff (30). The ferrule (50) comprises a main body portion (51) including an opening (53) coaxially externally sleeved on the balance staff (30) and a support portion ( 55) which is formed to protrude toward an outer side in a radial direction of the main body portion (51) and which supports the spring (40), a sealing surface (57) at which the inner end (43) of the spring (40) is welded and which is formed on a side of the support portion (55) in the radial direction, and a concave portion (60) which is formed on at least one end surface (56a) of two end surfaces the support portion (55) in an axial direction of the main body portion (51).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a collet, a balance wheel provided with the collet, and a timepiece. Background technique [0002] It is known that a mechanical timepiece is provided with an escapement governor for controlling the rotation of a barrel, a second wheel, a third wheel, and a fourth wheel constituting a dial train. A typical escapement governing mechanism has an escape wheel and a balance wheel. The balance wheel is formed by: a balance wheel; a balance shaft, which becomes the center of rotation of the balance wheel; a hairspring, which rotates the balance wheel by expanding and contracting; and a collet, which fixes the hairspring to the balance shaft. The collet is generally formed in a substantially circular ring shape. The collet includes: a main body fitted on the balance shaft; noodle. [0003] For example, the collet described in Patent Document 1 (corresponding to the "collet" in the claims of the present application) is forme...
