Abstract
A support for cleaning and/or galvanic deposition including a carrier structure including attachment points for watch hands each provided with a hole. The attachment points include at least one rigid pin, if necessary a conductive pin, onto which the hands are threaded via their hole and held apart from each other by a spacer.
Claims15
A support for treating micromechanical components, or for cleaning or galvanic deposition, comprising:
- a carrier structure including attachment points for the micromechanical components to be treated, the components each including at least one hole;
- wherein the attachment points include at least one rigid pin onto which the micromechanical components are threaded via a respective hole therein, the components being held apart from each other by a spacer element, wherein the spacer element includes spacers including a central through hole for passage of the rigid pin, and the spacer element further includes branches extending from a central portion including the central through hole, and wherein each spacer includes a support track which encloses the central through hole and is separated from the central through hole by the branches, the support track being thicker than the branches such that the micromechanical component rests on the support track.
An assembly comprising:
- a support including a plurality of micromechanical components, and the support including a carrier structure including attachment points for the micromechanical components to be treated, the components each including at least one hole, wherein the attachment points include at least one rigid pin onto which the micromechanical components are threaded via a respective hole therein, the components being held apart from each other by a spacer element, wherein the spacer element includes spacers including a central through hole for passage of the rigid pin, the spacer element further including branches extending from a central portion including the central through hole, wherein each spacer includes a support track which encloses the central through hole and is separated from the central through hole by the branches, the support track being thicker than the branches such that the micromechanical component rests on the support track, and wherein the micromechanical components are watch hands.
A support for treating micromechanical components, or for cleaning or galvanic deposition, comprising:
- a carrier structure including attachment points for the micromechanical components to be treated, the components each including at least one hole;
- wherein the attachment points include at least one rigid pin onto which the micromechanical components are threaded via a respective hole therein, the components being held apart from each other by a spacer element, wherein the spacer element includes spacers including a central through hole for passage of the rigid pin, wherein each spacer includes a support track which is remote from the central hole and on which the micromechanical component rests, wherein the spacer element includes a ring connected by branches to a central portion including a pierced hole for engagement of the rigid pin and the branches support the track, wherein the track is raised relative to the branches, and wherein the ring of the spacer element includes studs.
A support for treating micromechanical components, or for cleaning or galvanic deposition, comprising:
- a carrier structure including attachment points for the micromechanical components to be treated, the components each including at least one hole;
- wherein the attachment points include at least one rigid pin onto which the micromechanical components are threaded via a respective hole therein, the components being held apart from each other by a spacer element, wherein the spacer element includes spacers including a central through hole for passage of the rigid pin, and the spacer element further includes a support surface extending from a central portion including the central through hole, and wherein each spacer includes a support track which encloses the central through hole and is separated from the central through hole by the branches, the support track is thicker than the branches such that the micromechanical component rests on the support track.
