Abstract
A method for manufacturing at least a part of a timepiece is disclosed. The method comprises a first step of assembling flat layers together to from a substantially flat multilayer structure, Wherein at least a first layer of said layers is designed to form one flexible blade in the timepiece. Then, the multilayer structure is deployed in a direction substantially normal to the flat layers. Then at least one mass is fixed to the flexible blade, the mass being more rigid than the flexible blade.
Claims18
A method for manufacturing at least a part of a timepiece comprising the steps of:
- i) assembling a plurality of flat layers together to form a flat multilayer structure;
- ii) deploying the multilayer structure including the plurality of flat layers in a direction normal to the assembled flat layers, wherein at least a first layer of said layers forms at least one flexible blade in the part of the timepiece;
- and
- iii) fixing each of the at least one flexible blade to the at least one mass in a step subsequent to step (ii), wherein each of the at least one mass being more rigid than the at least one flexible blade to which it is fixed.
A method for manufacturing at least a part of a timepiece comprising the steps of:
- i) assembling flat layers together to form a flat multilayer structure;
- and
- ii) deploying the multilayer structure in a direction normal to the assembled flat layers;
- wherein at least a first layer of said layers forms at least one flexible blade in the part of the timepiece, each of the at least one flexible blade being fixed, in the part of the timepiece, to at least one mass, each of the at least one mass being more rigid than the at least one flexible blade to which it is fixed, each of the at least one flexible blade being fixed to the at least one mass in a step subsequent to step (ii),
- the method further comprising a step (iii) subsequent to step (ii), consisting of locking the multilayer structure in the deployed position.
A method for manufacturing at least a part of a timepiece comprising the steps of:
- i) assembling flat layers together to form a flat multilayer structure;
- and
- ii) deploying the multilayer structure in a direction normal to the assembled flat layers;
- wherein at least a first layer of said layers forms at least one flexible blade in the part of the timepiece, each of the at least one flexible blade being fixed, in the part of the timepiece, to at least one mass, each of the at least one mass being more rigid than the at least one flexible blade to which it is fixed, each of the at least one flexible blade being fixed to the at least one mass in a step subsequent to step (ii),
- wherein the flat multilayer structure forms at least one mounting scaffold, the method further comprising a step L, consisting of detaching the structure in the deployed position, from the at least one mounting scaffold.
