Escapements TRIZ Cases
- Watch Striking Mechanism With Flexible Guide for Cleaner Hammer Impact
Elastic blade guidance positions the watch hammer to increase normal impact force, cut tangential forces, and reduce mechanical backlash.
- Magnetically Pivoted Balance With Annular Magnets for Precise Centring
Annular magnets create radial biasing to keep a horological balance centred, reducing friction, wear, and escapement misalignment.
- Flexure-Guided Watch Hammer for Efficient Gong Striking
Elastic guide blades cantilever the watch hammer to maximize normal impact on the gong, improving sound output while reducing friction and part count.
- Flexible Guide Translation Table for Isochronous Resonator Motion
Translation tables let flexible resonator blades move as they bend, keeping return torque stable and reducing rate variation and energy loss.
- Flexible Guide Translation Tables for Isochronous Resonator Motion
Translation tables let flexible blades shift longitudinally, keeping return torque more constant for isochronous resonator motion.
- Nanowire Composite Timepiece Springs for Flexible Horological Motion
Solid nanowires embedded in a matrix make flexible spiral and barrel springs easier to manufacture beyond carbon nanotube designs.
- Nanowire Composite Watch Springs for Strength and Flexibility
A nanowire-filled composite lets watch spiral and barrel springs bend while improving strength and easing manufacture beyond carbon nanotubes.
