Abstract
Disclosed is a flexible-pivot mechanical component of the type with separate intersecting blades, particularly for timepieces. The mechanical component includes an attachment portion and a movable portion that are connected by first and second resilient blades that intersect in a contactless manner at an intersecting point. The flexible-pivot mechanical component is combined with an adjustment unit making it possible to adjust the position of the intersecting point.
Claims27
Timepiece device comprising a flexible pivot mechanical component (1;
- 1′;
- 1″;
- 1′″) of the type with separate crossed strips, said component comprising a fixing part (2) and a movable part (3) which are connected by first and second elastic strips (5, 6) crossing without contact at a crossing point (P), said timepiece comprising adjusting means (16-21;
- 30, 31;
- 32) for adjusting the position of the crossing point (P).
Flexible pivot mechanical timepiece component of the type with separate crossed strips, comprising a fixing part (2) and a movable part (3) which are connected by first and second elastic strips (5, 6) crossing without contact at a crossing point (P), wherein at least one of the fixing part (2) and the movable part (3) comprises a first part (7;
- 25) and second part (8;
- 26) which can move with respect to each other, and wherein the position of the crossing point (P) can be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of these first and second parts (7, 8;
- 25, 26).
Flexible pivot mechanical component of the type with separate crossed strips, comprising a fixing part (2) and a movable part (3) which are connected by first and second elastic strips (5, 6) crossing without contact at a crossing point (P), said component being monolithic and wherein the position of the crossing point (P) is adjustable.
