Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a torque adjusting device, a movement and a mechanical clock. Background technique
[0002] In mechanical timepieces, when the operating torque transmitted from the barrel to the escapement changes with the unwinding of the mainspring of the barrel, the swing angle of the balance with hairspring changes, and the rate of the watch changes. Therefore, in order to suppress fluctuations in the operating torque transmitted to the escapement, a constant torque mechanism (torque adjustment device) in which a subspring (spring for torque adjustment) is arranged between the barrel and the escapement has been proposed. ). Constant-torque mechanisms are roughly classified into those using a flywheel (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) and those involving periodical control by a cam or the like (for example, see Patent Document 2).
