Abstract
An oscillating regulator for a timepiece includes at least two resonant oscillating systems (20, 30), each one having at least one magnetic component (25, 35) suitable for exchanging magnetic energy between the oscillating systems during their oscillations. The shafts (22, 32) of at least two of the oscillating systems (20, 30) differ substantially from each other in terms of their respective orientation.
Claims17
An oscillating regulator for a timepiece, comprising three, or an odd number greater than three, resonant oscillating systems of different orientations,
- the resonant oscillating systems including a primary oscillating system and at least two secondary oscillating systems, each comprising a magnetic component suitable for exchanging magnetic energy during oscillations thereof,
- wherein axes of rotation of the oscillating systems have different orientations,
- wherein the magnetic component of the primary oscillating system exerts a magnetic force on each of the magnetic components of the secondary oscillating systems, and
- wherein the magnetic component of each of the magnetic components of the secondary oscillating systems is sensitive to the magnetic force of the magnetic component of the primary oscillating system but is not capable of exerting any substantial magnetic force on any of the other oscillating systems.
