AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Virtually all escapements alternate between "locked" and "unlocked" states, which interrupts the rotation of the escape wheel, increases wear on the escape wheel, and wastes drive energy from the power source

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The invention may be realized by means of an escapement comprising a double-fork lever having a pivot adapted to move the lever between a first pivot limit and a second pivot limit. At least two circular driven elements (eg, gemstones) are spaced apart by the pivot and are spaced from each other by a first predetermined distance. At least one driven element is mounted on each prong of the lever, and each driven element has no locking surface. The escapement also includes at least one escape wheel having an outer periphery defining a plurality of cam elements, such as curved cam lobes spaced apart in an arc, each adapted to slidably contact and drive a circular Shape driven elements. Each cam element has no locking surface in contact with the driven element.

[0026] The term "escape wheel" as used herein includes a gear having a plurality of curved, lobe-like cams acting as "cam elements" protruding radially from a disc. Alternatively, although not preferred, the cam...

Abstract

An escapement mechanism including a dual-forked lever having a pivot suitable for movement of the lever between a first pivot limit and a second pivot limit, and at least two rounded follower elementsspaced from the pivot and at a predetermined distance from each other. At least one of the follower elements is mounted on each fork of the lever and each follower element lacks a locking face. At least one escape wheel has an outer periphery defining at least a first plurality of cam elements suitable to slidably contact and drive the rounded follower elements, and each cam element lacks a locking surface where contact is made with the follower elements.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 700,604, filed July 19, 2018. The entire contents of the aforementioned applications are incorporated by reference in this application. technical field [0003] The invention relates to an escapement for a mechanical drive system. Background technique [0004] Various types of escapements have been used in watches and timepieces since at least the 13th century to periodically transfer energy from a power source to a timekeeping component, such as a pendulum or a balance wheel with a torsion spring. Escapements have also been used in other mechanical linkage systems, such as mechanical typewriters. [0005] A mechanical escapement typically has an escape wheel defining a plurality of teeth that engage with pallets on a lever. At least one known escapement uses two coaxial escape wheels. Virtually all escapements alternate between "locked" and "u...
