Patent number: 11957220Abstract: An end piece arranged to be detachably fixed to a bar, the end piece including: a groove intended to house the bar; a rotating part able to pivot about an axis parallel to the bar between a locking position, in which the rotating part prevents the bar from leaving the groove, and a release position, in which the rotating part allows the bar to be respectively introduced into or extracted from the groove; and a locking mechanism arranged to block the rotation of the rotating part. This end piece can be handled by the user, who can fix it to a bar and detach it from the bar without requiring any tooling.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventor: Laurent Taton

Patent number: 11467542Abstract: A method for manufacturing at least a part of a timepiece is disclosed. The method comprises a first step of assembling flat layers together to from a substantially flat multilayer structure, Wherein at least a first layer of said layers is designed to form one flexible blade in the timepiece. Then, the multilayer structure is deployed in a direction substantially normal to the flat layers. Then at least one mass is fixed to the flexible blade, the mass being more rigid than the flexible blade.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventors: Thomas Mercier, Christian Guichard, Guy Semon

Publication number: 20220197217Abstract: The oscillator for a regulator of a timepiece mechanism comprises a frame, a rigid body and a mechanism) for connecting the rigid body to the frame enabling oscillations of the rigid body relative to the frame. The connecting mechanism comprises at least one first and one second rigid parts, and a first and a second flexible elements, in the form of angular sectors of rings. The first and second flexible elements extend mainly in separate non-parallel planes. The first and second flexible elements are concentric. The first and second flexible elements each connect the first and second rigid parts together.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2020Publication date: June 23, 2022Applicant: LVMH Swiss Manufactures SAInventors: Thomas MERCIER, Guy Semon

Patent number: 11166529Abstract: Watch case including: a middle; at least one pair of horns intended to retain a wristwatch strap portion; the middle including a first lock member; and a second lock member mounted on the pair of horns and complementary to the first member to lock the pair of horns to the middle. The case also includes a manipulation member that can be manipulated by a user in order to move the second member between a locking position in which the members co-operate to maintain the pair of horns on the middle and a release position in which the pair of horns can be detached from the middle.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2017Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventors: Laurent Cuenat, Laurent Raille

Patent number: 11013300Abstract: Connecting device allowing a releasable connection between a bracelet strap and a folding clasp including at least two articulated arms and two fastening portions capable of reversibly cooperating with each other. The connecting device includes a first connecting piece capable of being secured to the free end of the bracelet strap and a second connecting piece capable of being mounted on the fastening portion. The first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are configured to reversibly cooperate with each other between a first, open position allowing separation of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece and a second, closed position in which the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are locked together.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventor: Laurent Raille

Publication number: 20200333746Abstract: Device for timepiece comprising a monolithic mechanism which comprises a support and an inertial regulating member connected to the support by an elastic suspension. The elastic suspension comprises an elastic adjustment link having a first end adjustable relative to the support, so as to change the overall stiffness of the elastic suspension and therefore the oscillation frequency of the inertial regulating member.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2017Publication date: October 22, 2020Applicant: LVMH Swiss Manufactures SAInventors: Guy Semon, Wout Johannes Benjamin Ypma, Sybren Lennard Weeke, Nima Tolou

Publication number: 20200192299Abstract: A method for manufacturing a mechanism comprises the steps of: i) assembling flat layers together to form a substantially flat multilayer structure; ii) deploying the multilayer structure in a direction substantially normal to the flat layers. At least a first layer of said layers forms a flexible blade in the mechanism. The blade is fixed, in the mechanism, to a mass. The mass is more rigid than the blade. The blade is fixed to the mass in a step subsequent to step ii). This method can in particular be used to manufacture all or part of a mechanism such as a timepiece movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2018Publication date: June 18, 2020Applicant: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventors: Thomas Mercier, Christian Guichard, Guy Semon

Patent number: 10606216Abstract: Watch case including: a case middle; removable horns; and at least one nut. The nut is inserted in a housing formed in the thickness of the case middle. A nut portion protrudes to the outside of the case middle. A removable horn-retaining screw is engaged in each nut. The thickness required to accommodate the screw is not supported by the case middle, but by the projecting nut portion. It is thus possible to make case middles that are very thin, and therefore light-weight, while at the same time ensuring attachment of the horns to the case middle.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventors: Antoine Dubois, Laurent Raille

Patent number: 10528005Abstract: A mechanism for a timepiece, comprising a an oscillating regulator mechanism, a rotary energy distribution toothed wheel, a blocking mechanism controlled by the regulator mechanism to alternatively hold and release the energy distribution wheel, and a monostable elastic member linked to the regulator mechanism and bearing on the teeth of the energy distribution wheel. The teeth of the energy distribution wheel are adapted to elastically deform the monostable elastic member by cam effect during rotation of the wheel, and the monostable elastic member is adapted to elastically return to its rest position, thus releasing mechanical energy to the regulator mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventors: Guy Semon, Wout Johannes Benjamin Ypma, Nima Tolou
