There is provided a device (100) for maintaining or limiting the shake, in at least one direction, of a timepiece component (30) The device includes a stationary structure (20) arranged to abuttingly receive at least one surface of the component (30), and a rotary bolt (10), cooperating with the stationary structure (20). The rotary bolt (10) is rotatable about an axial direction (A) between a first angular position, referred to as the unlocking position, allowing the component (30) freedom of movement and a second angular position, referred to as the locking position, limiting the travel of the component (30) relative to the stationary structure (20) in the at least one direction, and characterised in that the second angular position, referred to as the locking position, of the rotary bolt (10) is secured by a resilient return (3).
A device (100) for maintaining or limiting the shake, in at least one direction, of a timepiece component (30), said device comprising a stationary structure (20) arranged to abuttingly receive at least one surface of said component (30), and a rotary bolt (10), cooperating with said stationary structure (20), the rotary bolt (10) being rotatable about an axial direction (A) between a first angular position, referred to as the unlocking position, allowing said component (30) freedom of movement and a second angular position, referred to as the locking position, limiting the travel of said component (30) relative to the stationary structure (20) in said at least one direction, wherein said second angular position, referred to as the locking position, of the rotary bolt (10) is secured by resilient return means (3), and said component (30) is, along the axial direction (A), between the rotary bolt (10) and the stationary structure (20) with one surface of the component (30) held in contact with the rotary bolt (10) and with another surface of the component (30), opposite to the one surface of the component (30), held in contact with the stationary structure (20).
A holding system (500) for holding concentric timepiece components (30, 60), wherein the holding system (500) comprises at least one device (100), forming first means for maintaining or limiting the shake of a first component (30) and second means (50) for maintaining or limiting the shake of a second component (60) concentric with the first component (30), wherein the device (100) is configured to maintain or limit shake, in at least one direction, of the first component (30), said device comprises a stationary structure (20) arranged to abuttingly receive at least one surface of said first component (30), and a rotary bolt (10), cooperating with said stationary structure (20), the rotary bolt (10) being rotatable about an axial direction (A) between a first angular position, referred to as the unlocking position, allowing said first component (30) freedom of movement and a second angular position, referred to as the locking position, limiting the travel of said first component (30) relative to the stationary structure (20) in said at least one direction, wherein said second angular position, referred to as the locking position, of the rotary bolt (10) is secured by resilient return means (3).
A device (100) for maintaining or limiting the shake, in at least one direction, of a timepiece component (30), said device comprising a stationary structure (20) arranged to abuttingly receive at least one surface of said component (30), and a rotary bolt (10), cooperating with said stationary structure (20), the rotary bolt (10) being rotatable about an axial direction (A) between a first angular position, referred to as the unlocking position, allowing said component (30) freedom of movement and a second angular position, referred to as the locking position, limiting the travel of said component (30) relative to the stationary structure (20) in said at least one direction, wherein said second angular position, referred to as the locking position, of the rotary bolt (10) is secured by resilient return means (3), and said device further comprises one of (A), (B), (C), and (D),
