Abstract
Timepiece movement (1) comprising:—a main frame (3) acting as a support for a drive source (5) and for at least one base gear train (7) designed to be driven by the drive source (5);—at least one flying bridge (11) cantilever-mounted on an element of the main frame (3) and extending in superposition on the latter, characterized in that the flying bridge (11) supports at least one functional element (13; 9) kinematically linked to the base gear train (7) via a flying gear train (17, 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d), and in that the functional element (13; 9) and at least some elements of the flying gear train (17a, 17b, 17c, 17d) are entirely supported on the flying bridge (11).
Claims8
A timepiece movement comprising:
- a main frame serving as a support for a power source as well as for at least one base gear train arranged to be driven by said power source;
- at least one flying bridge mounted in cantilever fashion on a single end of an element of said main frame and extending in superposition of the latter,
- wherein said flying bridge has a side which faces said main frame and carries at least one functional element kinematically connected to said base gear train via a flying gear train comprising a plurality of toothed wheels,
- and wherein the at least one functional element as well as said plurality of toothed wheels of said flying gear train are fully supported by said flying bridge, said toothed wheels being mounted on said side of said flying bridge which faces said main frame.
A timepiece movement comprising:
- a main frame serving as a support for a power source as well as for at least one base gear train arranged to be driven by said power source;
- at least one flying bridge mounted in cantilever fashion on a single end of an element of said main frame and extending in superposition of the latter,
- wherein said flying bridge carries at least one functional element kinematically connected to said base gear train via a flying gear train comprising a plurality of toothed wheels, wherein the at least one functional element as well as at least some of said plurality of toothed wheels of said flying gear train are fully supported by said flying bridge, and wherein the at least one functional element is a regulating system.
