DISPLAY OF A PHYSICAL MAGNITUDE ON A CLOCKMAKING DISPLAY SUPPORT
Clock movement (1) driving an output mobile (3), from means (2A) of generating a time magnitude, or means (2B) of identifying a state magnitude of a control member of said movement, or means (2C) of measuring a physical magnitude, the position of said output mobile (3) being linked to an instantaneous value of said magnitude, which is displayed on a free pivoting display support (10) and comprising a display mobile (4) collaborating with said output mobile (3). Said display mobile (4) is in permanent engagement with said output mobile (3), and said movement (1) comprises an additional mobile (5) pivoting in synchronism or in an integer rate of pivoting ratio with respect to said display mobile (4). Timepiece (100) comprising such a movement (1).

Goods & Services
Precious metals and their alloys and goods in precious
metals or coated therewith not included in other classes;
jewelry, precious stones; timepieces and chronometric
instruments.
The invention relates to a horological wheel unit (1), comprising a first guide surface (2) arranged to engage with a second guide surface (3) connected to a bridge (50), in order to mount said wheel unit (1) in a pivoting manner about an axis (D) with respect to said bridge (50). Said first guide surface (2) is single and located in a mid-plane (P), orthogonal to said axis (D), of said wheel unit (1), in order to keep said wheel unit (1) in a fitted or cantilevered manner with respect to said bridge (50), and said wheel unit (1) has no guide pin on either side of said guide surface (2). Said wheel unit (1) forms a ball bearing (10), of which said first guide surface (2) forms an internal raceway (9) for balls (11), and of which an external cage (12) mounted on said bridge (50) has said second guide surface (3), which forms an external raceway for said balls (11).
The invention relates to an improved escapement mechanism (100) comprising a pallet fork (1) having two pallets (10A; 10B), the resting surface (21 A; 21 B) of each pallet having an elliptical section with an axis of symmetry merged with a pivot axis of said pallet fork (1). The escapement mechanism also comprises restoring or repulsing means (40) co-operating with a fork rod (14) and/or arms (11 A; 11 B) of said pallet fork (1). Said restoring or repulsing means (40) are either electrostatic or mechanical elastic and comprise two springs (41 A; 41 B) arranged at the end of travel of said arms (11 A; 11 B) in such a way that a single arm co-operates with a single spring at a given moment, and/or they comprise a spring (42) co-operating with a groove or with a finger (24) of said fork rod (14).
Two-directional date corrector mechanism (100), controlled by a pull stalk (1) for a date mechanism (2). It comprises a 24-hour wheel (4), a date updating finger (5) that pivots as one with this wheel, and a date driving star (6) and a correction star (7) in mesh with said date driving star and situated between said date driving star and said finger (5) and mounted such that it can be disengaged from said finger (5) under the action of a disengagement mechanism (8) operated by said pull stalk (1), said disengagement mechanism (8) having an engaged position in which said correction star (7) is in mesh with said finger (5) and a disengaged second position in which it is disengaged from said finger (5) to allow the date to be corrected. Date mechanism (2) equipped with such a date corrector mechanism (100). Timepiece (3) comprising such a date correction mechanism (100).
Mechanism (100) for a secondary additional display (2) of a first physical quantity, in which a push rod (4) actuates first means of engaging/disengaging said secondary display (2) with respect to a movement (6) comprising a first display (1), and a pivoting first-quantity heart cannon pinion (36) of which the engagement/disengagement with respect to said movement (6) are controlled by said first means. A second push rod (5) controls the zero reset of said secondary display (2) by disengaging said first engagement-disengagement means, and setting said heart cannon pinion (36) to the starting position. Second engagement/disengagement control means comprise either a pivoting time-zone runner (20) comprising, these being coaxial and able to collaborate frictionally, a friction wheel (21) meshing with said movement (6) and a time-zone wheel (25) which, when said runner (20) is in the engaged position, drives a second physical quantity heart cannon pinion (70), and/or a third physical quantity heart cannon pinion (80), or alternatively, an inter-time-zone mechanism (93). Timepiece (1000) comprising such an additional display mechanism.
A mechanism (100) for advancing, by periodic jumps, a cage (30) having a wheel (42) and an escapement pinion (41) and a pallet fork (50) engaging with said wheel (42) and a spiral balance (80), comprising: - retaining means (70) which, by moving or not moving, enable or prevent the pivoting movement of said cage (30); - arresting means (60) which engage with said retaining means (70) in order, depending on their position, to enable or prevent the pivoting movement. The path of said retaining means (70) intersects that of the arresting means (60), both being outside said cage (30), and said retaining means (70) comprise a tail pinion (75) that has a tail (76) positioned so as to engage with said arresting means (60) and having a path that intersects the latter, said tail pinion (75) engaging with teeth (31) on said cage (30) by way of an inverter wheel assembly (71).
