  • Patent number: 11934156
    Abstract: A clockwork column selector mechanism, including a mobile with columns protruding above a base surface separated by clearances, forming slots along a profile, arranged to, in certain positions of the mobile, enable the insertion of a feeler-spindle into a clearance in a transverse direction substantially normal to the profile and parallel to the reference surface, and to, in other positions of the mobile, stop a feeler-spindle on a transverse surface of a column, at least one column including an intermediate transverse stopping surface constituting a stop bearing surface of a feeler-spindle and enable a partial insertion of a feeler-spindle in the thickness of one the slot, and which is located, in a transverse direction, between the geometric envelopes of two end transverse surfaces transversely delimiting this column.

  • Publication number: 20230084357
    Abstract: A device for manually controlling a timepiece mechanism includes two counteracting manual corrector actuators to be operated by a user and to control a correction wheel set in opposing movements. Each actuator sets in motion an associated corrector having a beak to bear against a relief of the correction wheel set and to cause the correction wheel set to move when the actuator is moved over its full path of travel. The manual control device includes a locking lever mechanism arranged to prohibit an action of one of the actuators on the correction wheel set when the other actuator is engaged and interacting with the correction wheel set. The locking lever mechanism includes a locking lever driven in rotation during the engagement of one of the actuators to limit the travel of the other actuator and to prevent the corrector associated therewith from accessing the correction wheel set.
