Abstract
A support system (1) for a horological component (9), in particular for a horological component comprising a surface (91) generated by revolution and/or an axis (A9), includes a positioning device (2), in particular a centering device, for the horological component (9) in relation to an axis (A) of the system, and a holding device (3) for the horological component (9), the positioning device and holding device being independent and/or different and/or distinct.
Claims22
A support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, or both independent and distinct,
- wherein the positioning device comprises positioning elements which can be displaced in a first direction.
A control system for controlling a support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, or both independent and distinct,
- wherein the control system comprises:
- a first control device for the positioning device for the horological component, and
- a second control device for the holding device for the horological component,
- the first and second control devices being independent, different, distinct, independent and different, independent and distinct, different, and distinct, or independent, different and distinct.
A support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, or both independent and distinct,
- wherein the positioning device is controlled pneumatically or hydraulically.
A support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, or both independent and distinct,
- wherein the holding device is controlled pneumatically or hydraulically.
A support system for a horological component, the support system comprising:
- a positioning device for the horological component in relation to an axis of the system, and
- a holding device for the horological component,
- the positioning device and holding device being independent, distinct, or both independent and distinct,
- wherein the holding device comprises holding elements which can be displaced in rotation about axes which extend in a second direction,
- wherein the support system comprises a first member and a second member which are mounted with a sliding connection relative to each other along the axis of the support system, and
- wherein the holding elements are pivoted on the first member and are mounted with a mechanical connection to the second member via cam systems,
- wherein the cam systems comprise:
- oblong grooves in the holding elements and in the second member, respectively, the grooves extending in directions which form an angle with the axis of the support system, and
- pins which cooperate with the grooves and which are provided on the second member and on the holding elements, respectively.
