Gearworks TRIZ Cases
- Timepiece Display Gearing for Low-Energy Fractional-Second Readout
Fine second toothing below 0.05 mm cuts torque and size, enabling more timepiece displays and precise fractional-second readout.
- Watch Assembly Screw With Flexible Bearing for Anti-Loosening
A reduced-rigidity zone and larger bearing surface cut contact pressure, helping pivoting watch components resist shock-driven unscrewing.
- Laser Heat Treatment of Watch Components for Uniform Hardening
Laser irradiation and gas-flow cooling replace furnace and oil quenching to harden watch components more uniformly with lower energy use.
- Timepiece Micromechanical Component in High-Interstitial Austenitic Steel
High-interstitial austenitic steel gives timepiece movement parts 500-900 HV hardness while resisting magnetic fields and corrosion.
- Timepiece Gear Train with Involute Gear for Stable Torque
An involute gear paired with a shaped pinion keeps timepiece torque more constant during meshing while easing gear manufacturing.
- Escapement Wheel Tooth Structure for Lubricant Retention
Offset tooth contact surfaces move oil from recessed reservoirs to the pallet contact zone, reducing friction, wear, and lubricant loss.
