Abstract
A micromechanical mechanism (1), in particular for an horological movement (3), the mechanism including a micromechanical device including a mobile element (8) needing to be moved mechanically to trigger its operation. Included is a system for actuating the device, the actuation system including a mobile striker (16, 17, 18) configured to go from a release position (19) to a percussion position (21) in which it transmits to the mobile element (8) a momentum necessary for the release of the device, the actuation system further including a magnet (15) configured to attract the mobile striker (16, 17, 18) in a percussion position (21). Also a horological movement (3) including such a mechanism (1).
Claims18
A micromechanical mechanism (1), the mechanism comprising:
- a micromechanical device having a specific function, the device including a mobile element (8) needing to be moved mechanically to trigger an operation thereof;
- and
- a system for actuating the device, the actuation system including a mobile striker (16, 17, 18) configured to go from a release position (19) to a percussion position (21) in which the striker transmits to the mobile element (8) a momentum necessary for a release of the micromechanical device, the actuation system further including a magnet (15) configured to attract the mobile striker (16, 17, 18) in a percussion position (21)
- wherein the mobile element (8) is in contact with the magnet (15) in a rest position (9).
