Patent number: 11774908Abstract: A control device (10) for a horological movement, including a first part including a sliding guide tube (11) intended to be fixed relative to the horological movement, and a second movable part (12) slidably guided by the guide tube in an axial direction, relative to the first part, between an active position wherein it is able to be integral, by means of an adjustment rod (120), with a component of the horological movement, and an inactive position wherein the adjustment rod is intended to release the component of the horological movement. The second part includes a head (140) covering a reversible elastic casing module (130) fixed to the adjustment rod and arranged so as to occupy a rest state when the second part occupies the active and inactive positions and being urged by the guide tube when the second part moves between these positions.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: MECO SAInventors: Julien Bonenfant, Rémy Thiry, Samuel Geiser

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
