Barrel with substantially constant torque

2:

• The barrel according to claim 1, wherein said device is made up of a first device for the release of the winding rotations and a second device for limiting the number of running rotations of the barrel, wherein said first device works in a first placement plane and said second device works in a second, different placement plane.

3:

• The barrel according to claim 1, wherein said device further comprises a rotatable positioning ring mounted on the barrel.

4:

• The barrel according to claim 3, wherein device further comprises an indexing mechanism for the rotation position of said rotatably mounted positioning ring.

5:

• The barrel according to claim 4, wherein said indexing mechanism comprises a detent spring that lies between an engaging teeth of a gearwheel, wherein said gearwheel is driven by a placement finger non-rotatably fixed to a spring shaft and meshes with an inner toothing of the positioning ring.

6:

• The barrel according to claim 3, wherein said rotatable positioning ring is fitted in a stack between a base of the barrel and a cover plate.

7:

• The barrel according to claim 3, wherein said positioning ring comprises inner toothing, which meshes with a gearwheel, wherein said gearwheel is driven by a placement finger non-rotatably fixed to a spring shaft and wherein said positioning ring presents a gap between a first locating surface and a second locating surface on its outer edge.

8:

• The barrel according to claim 3, wherein said positioning ring also comprises a first pin, which interacts with a return spring in a placement plane in the winding direction when winding up the barrel.

9:

• The barrel according to claim 8, wherein said pin is located in the same angular section as said gap, between said first locating surface and said second locating surface.

10:

• The barrel according to claim 8, wherein said return spring is U-shaped and is attached to the barrel with the aid of a shoulder pin.

11:

• The barrel according to claim 7, wherein said first locating surface of said positioning ring interacts with a second pin located on the barrel in a second placement plane in order block the motion of the barrel according to a predetermined number of running rotations in the running direction.
