Abstract
A timepiece regulator comprising an inertial regulating member which is mounted on a support by an elastic suspension so as to be able to oscillate in translation, along a main direction of translation.
Claims13
A timepiece movement having a timepiece regulator and a blocking mechanism,
- said timepiece regulator comprising at least one inertial regulating member which is mounted on a support by an elastic suspension so as to be able to oscillate, wherein the regulating member is mounted on the support to oscillate in translation, along a main direction of translation,
- said blocking mechanism having a blocking member being controlled by the regulating member to be able to regularly and alternatively hold and release a movable energy distribution member so that said energy distribution member moves by steps, said blocking mechanism being further adapted to regularly release energy to the regulating member for maintaining oscillation of said regulating member,
- said blocking member being connected to said regulating member by at least one first elastic link,
- wherein said elastic suspension includes at least two second elastic links extending substantially in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the main direction of translation, each second elastic link extending between a first end unitary with the support and a second end unitary with the inertial regulating member.
