Patent number: 11703802Abstract: A timepiece incudes a crown (4) housed in a cavity (10) provided in the case and open towards the outside, such as a cavity (10) in the side wall of the case (1) of a wristwatch, in the rest position of the crown (4). To bring the crown out of its rest position, the user rotates a rotary knurling-roller (5). The knurling-roller (5) is coupled to a tube (15) wherein is inserted a crown body (18) integral with the crown. The rotation of the knurling-roller actuates rotation as well as translation of the tube, which is linked only in translation to said cylinder (18). The tube displaces the crown in an axial direction without rotating the crown around its central axis (6). At least one control position of the crown and the rod can be reached, by rotating the knurling-roller (5) without having to manually pull the crown outwards.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: MECO SAInventors: Hervé Avril, Gregory Kissling, Rémy Thiry, Valon Hoti, Samuel Geiser

Patent number: 6199461Abstract: The automatic bar feeder device comprises a loading device that loads or unloads a bar from a hopper while avoiding shock exerted by the bar against an element of the magazine bar feed, the bar to be treated being seized by claws (42) which transport the bar towards the bench (22) and lay it smoothly down there. The movements of the loading device (40) are reversible so that it is able to act also as an unloading device. The loading/unloading device (40) cooperates with the long advance device (70) thanks to a combination of movements. Finally, the short advance device (40) and the long advance device (70) are driven for advancing the bar into a lathe, by one and the same element (98), the two devices are able to be coupled and uncoupled through a latching/unlatching device (80).Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1998Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Inventor: Markus Samuel Geiser
