1 . A bolt ( 10 ) configured to limit the axial travel of a moving body ( 21 ) of a horological movement ( 20 ), said bolt ( 10 ) comprising a head ( 11 ) arranged at the end of an arbor ( 12 ) extending according to a longitudinal axis of revolution, said head ( 11 ) extending radially with respect to the arbor ( 12 ) and including a radial addendum ( 110 ) extending over a portion of a periphery of the head ( 11 ), said radial addendum ( 110 ) configured to be arranged opposite said moving body ( 21 ), and including, at the junction with the arbor ( 12 ), a bearing base ( 111 ) through which the bolt ( 10 ) is configured to rest against a structure ( 22 ) of the horological movement ( 20 ), the bearing base ( 111 ) protruding from a lower surface of the radial addendum ( 110 ) along the longitudinal axis of revolution,
wherein the base ( 111 ) has a central overthickness ( 112 ) extending around the arbor ( 12 ) so as to allow limiting the bearing surface of said base ( 111 ) on the structure ( 22 ) of the horological movement ( 20 ), and
wherein the central overthickness ( 112 ) has an axisymmetric cylindrical shape that protrudes from a lower surface of the base ( 111 ), the central overthickness ( 112 ) having an axis that is coincident with the longitudinal axis of revolution.
2 . The bolt ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the head ( 11 ) includes a relief ( 13 ) adapted to cooperate with a tool so as to subject said head ( 11 ) to a force moment about the longitudinal axis of the arbor ( 12 ).
3 . The bolt ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the arbor ( 12 ) includes an annular groove ( 120 ) contiguous to the head ( 11 ).
4 . The bolt ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the arbor ( 12 ) includes an annular boss ( 121 ).
5 . The bolt ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the radial addendum ( 110 ) includes a chamfer or a fillet ( 113 ) intended to face the moving body ( 21 ).
6 . The bolt ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the head ( 11 ) includes a planar surface ( 116 ) parallel to the longitudinal axis of the arbor ( 12 ), configured to be arranged bearing against a bearing surface of the structure ( 22 ) of the horological movement ( 20 ).
7 . The bolt ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , wherein a free end of the arbor ( 12 ) includes a chamfer ( 122 ).
8 . A horological movement ( 20 ) comprising a moving body ( 21 ) arranged on a structure ( 22 ) of the horological movement ( 20 ), said structure ( 22 ) comprising a housing ( 220 ) in which a bolt ( 10 ) according to claim 1 is fitted, so as to be movable in rotation about the longitudinal axis of the arbor ( 12 ), between an unlocking position, in which the radial addendum ( 110 ) is set back with respect to the moving body ( 21 ), and a blocking position in which the radial addendum ( 110 ) faces the moving body ( 21 ).
9 . The horological movement ( 20 ) according to claim 8 , wherein the bolt ( 10 ) is configured so that, when it is arranged in the blocking position, the radial addendum ( 110 ) is arranged at a distance from the moving body ( 21 ).
10 . The horological movement ( 10 ) according to claim 8 , wherein the structure ( 22 ) comprises at least two housings ( 220 ) distributed around the moving body ( 21 ), in each of which a bolt ( 10 ) is fitted.
