Embodiment Construction

[0018] FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a mechanical timepiece 2 equipped with a rotating part and comprising a device according to the invention for regulating the oscillation of this rotating part.

[0019] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. The lever in this embodiment is the balance lever 4 and the rotating part is the balance 6 . Balance 6 comprises, in a conventional manner, an arbor, one end of which pivots in a first bearing supported by plate 10 of the balance lever. Said first bearing is arranged in the bore of the balance spring stud holder 8 with a shock absorber arrangement known to those skilled in the art. The balance spring stud holder 8 rests on the central seat 12 of the stem 4 . The second end of the balance shaft pivots in a second bearing arranged in the plate 14 of the timepiece 2 .

[0020] Balance lever 4 is a double lever formed by two bases 16 and 18 arranged respectively on ei...

Abstract

The timepiece includes means for adjusting the shake of a rotating part, in particular a balance, one of whose bearings is arranged in a bar ( 4 ). This bar includes a first part ( 16 ) secured to the bottom plate ( 14 ) in a rigid and invariable manner. It further includes a second part ( 18 ) associated with means for deforming the bar ( 4 ) formed by a adjusting screw ( 34 ) one end of which rests on the bottom plate. Rotating this adjusting screw varies the distance between the second part and the bottom plate by deforming the plate ( 10 ) at zones ( 22 and 24 ) of less mechanical resistance which are provided on either side of the central part ( 20 ) of the plate ( 10 ) so as to localise the deformations generated by activating the adjusting screw ( 34 ). When the plate ( 10 ) is deformed, the central part ( 20 ) where the bearing is arranged, moves relative to the bottom plate, which thus enables the shake of the rotating part to be adjusted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mechanical timepiece comprising a device for regulating the oscillation of a rotating part or of a wheel set, in particular of a balance wheel. Background technique [0002] A device for adjusting the axial oscillation of a balance arbor by elastically deforming a balance cock is known from patent document CH 368 752 . The balance cock is formed by a base fixed to the plate and a plate in which one of the two bearings in which the balance arbor pivots is arranged. At the free end of this plate there is provided an adjusting screw whose head is on the side of the balance wheel. This screw is actuatable from the top of the plate and the head of the screw engages in the groove of a second adjacent screw that serves as an adjustment screw support. By actuating this adjusting screw, said plate of the pendulum cock is deformed by changing the height of its free end. The thickness of the plate is substantially constant, being sli...
