Embodiment Construction

[0028] In this description we describe a rigid part for a watch movement. For example, the part is selected from a list comprising an escapement pallet assembly, an escapement wheel, a timepiece movement or an oscillator balance wheel.

[0029] Said rigid part is preferably planar and extends along the main plane P. The components include the figure 1 At least a portion of the composite material 1 represented in . Preferably, the part is completely made of this composite material 1 . Thus, said components from the preceding list can be made from this composite material 1 .

[0030] The composite material 1 comprises a matrix 2 and a plurality of nanotubes or nanowires 3 distributed in the matrix 2 . For example, the part has a generally flat shape extending along a plane P.

[0031] The nanotubes or nanowires 3 form the structure of the composite material 1 , wherein the nanotubes or nanowires are juxtaposed and lie substantially parallel to each other. Said nanotubes or...

Abstract

A rigid horological component (6, 7, 8) for an oscillator mechanism or for an escapement mechanism of a horological movement, the component extending along a principal plane (P) and including at least a part made of a composite material (1), the composite material (1) including a matrix (2) and a multitude of nanotubes or nanowires (3) distributed in the matrix (2), the nanotubes or nanowires (3) being juxtaposed and disposed substantially parallel with an axis (A) substantially perpendicular to the plane (P) of the component, the matrix (2) includes a rigid material (4) to fill the interstices and join the nanotubes or nanowires (3) to one another, the material (4) having rigid mechanical properties to block the elastic deformation of the component, the rigid material (4) comprised in the component having a Young's modulus greater than 2 GPa.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rigid horological component for an oscillator mechanism or escapement of a timepiece movement. [0002] The invention also relates to a timepiece movement comprising such a component. Background technique [0003] A timepiece movement usually includes an escapement and a mechanical oscillator mechanism. Said escapement mechanism comprises in particular a pallet assembly and an escape wheel, while said oscillator mechanism comprises, for example, a helical hairspring associated with an oscillating mass of inertia known as a balance wheel. [0004] Technological advances in composite materials now make it possible to manufacture certain components from innovative and high-performance materials, which makes it possible to at least partially phase out metallic materials. Currently, attempts are being made to manufacture components using, for example, nanotubes or nanowires. This material with nanotubes or nanowires offers adva...
