Lever Engagement Patents (Class 368/199)
  • Patent number: 10816936
    Abstract: Watch comprising a movement with an axially and rotationally movable main stem, and a control mechanism for the remote control of the main stem which comprises a secondary stem operable by a user and guided in rotation by guide means of a plate, and axial stop means for a secondary pinion integral in rotation with the secondary stem, and a transmission train meshed with the secondary pinion to transmit any rotation of the secondary pinion to the main stem, and further comprises an articulated connection, arranged to transmit any axial motion of the secondary stem to the main stem.

  • Publication number: 20080259741
    Abstract: According to the invention, the time-setting device (18) of the timepiece includes a time-setting lever (62) which carries a coupling device (64) and the pivoting of which is controlled between an uncoupled position and a coupled position corresponding to the time-setting position of the winding stem (22). The coupling device (64) includes an exit pinion (78) which, in the coupled position, meshes with a minute wheel (16), and a plate (90) which is pivotably mounted on the time-setting lever (62) and which is provided with first and second reversion wheels (94, 96) of parallel axes (A8, A9) meshing with each other. An intermediate wheel (60), which is driven in rotation by the winding stem (22) in the time-setting position, meshes with the first reverser wheel (94).

  • Patent number: 4555185
    Abstract: This mechanism is intended for time setting of an analog mechanical display in a timepiece. It comprises a manually operable crowned stem (1) arranged to be toggled into at least two axial positions the active one of which is drawn-out relative to the neutral pushed-in position. The stem is provided with a toothed pinion (3) which meshes with an axially displaceable pinion (6). Such pinions are placed side-by-side and a mechanism including a trigger piece (9), a rocking lever (10) and a slider (21) slaves the axially displaceable pinion to the stem. The arrangement is compact and readily integrated into a thin timepiece.

  • Patent number: 4194353
    Abstract: Analog display calendar watch having a window or windows and an hour spindle changing device in which the movements of the hour hand and the disc or discs of the calendar are synchronized.The calendar disc is driven once every 24 hours by a rocker lever which supports a plate having a catch engaging the calendar disc, the plate being rotated by a 24-hour wheel and effecting a whole number, greater than one, of turns in 24 hours. The width of the catch is slightly less than the space between two teeth of the calendar disc, so that any forward or backward movement of the hour hand, controlled by the hour setting spindle, permits an immediate forward or backward movement of the calendar disc.
