Display system for a timepiece
View Patent ↗A display system for a timepiece is disclosed. The system includes a mobile arranged to be driven by a drive source by first teeth provided on the mobile. The mobile includes second teeth including a teeth module of less than 0.05 mm, the second teeth being arranged so as to drive a display member either directly or indirectly.
1. A display system for a timepiece, said system comprising a wheel arranged to be driven by a motive source via a first toothing comprised by said wheel, wherein said wheel comprises at least a second toothing having a toothing modulus of less than 0.05 mm, said second toothing being arranged to drive a display organ directly or indirectly, wherein said wheel is an escapement wheel.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said second toothing is contrate.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said second toothing is conical.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said wheel has a third toothing has a toothing modulus of less than 0.05 mm, the display organ being driven via a pair of pinions connected to one another by an elastic element, one of these pinions meshing with said second toothing, the other meshing with said third toothing, the elastic element being prestressed.
5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein said second toothing is monobloc with said third toothing.
6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein at least said second toothing is constructed by additive manufacturing.
7. A timepiece comprising a system according to claim 1 , said timepiece comprising an optical device to be able to view said display organ.
8. The timepiece according to claim 7 , comprising a plurality of said systems, said optical device being arranged to be movable relative to a middle comprised by said timepiece in order to view the display organ of at least two of said systems.
9. The timepiece according to claim 8 , wherein said optical device is mounted in:
a rotating ring provided in said middle; or
a sliding block mounted in a slide-way provided in said middle; or
a rotary bezel mounted on said middle; or
a rotatable case back, or a rotatable part of a case back, mounted on said middle.
10. A timepiece comprising a clockwork movement and a system according to claim 1 , said system being located in a removable module arranged to be placed at least partially in a housing provided in said timepiece.
11. The timepiece according to claim 10 , wherein said motive source is part of said movement and said wheel is located in said removable module, said motive source being kinematically connected with said wheel when said removable module is located in said housing.
12. The timepiece according to claim 10 , wherein said motive source is integrated in said removable module.
13. A method for manufacturing a system according to claim 1 , wherein at least said second toothing is obtained via an additive manufacturing method.
