Abstract
A regulator for a striking mechanism of a mechanical watch including a base, which can be assembled in a fixed manner with regard to the housing and which rotatably mounts a rotary wheel. At least two mass elements are arranged on the rotary wheel and by way of a rotation of the rotary wheel are deflectable radially outwards counter to a spring force on account of the centrifugal force, in order to regulate the rotation speed of the rotary wheel. At least three bearing elements are attached to the base, the bearing elements engaging peripherally on the rotary wheel, in order to mount this relative to the base.
Claims16
A regulator for a striking mechanism for a mechanical watch, the regulator comprising
- a base equipped to be assembled in a fixed manner with regard to the housing,
- and a rotary wheel,
- wherein the rotary wheel is rotatably mounted relative to the base and carries at least two mass elements, the mass elements being deflectable, by a centrifugal force, radially outwards counter to a spring force upon a rotation of the rotary,
- so as to regulate a rotation speed of the rotary wheel,
- the regulator further comprising at least three bearing elements attached to the base, said bearing elements engaging peripherally on the rotary wheel in order to mount the rotatory wheel relative to the base.
