Abstract
A method for production of a horology assembly of two components, comprising (i) supplying a first component (2) being a spring, and comprising at least one element made of elastic material provided with a tongue (20); supplying a second component (3) provided with at least one cut-out or opening (31, 32); permanently assembling the two components. The two components cooperate by means of an obstacle such as to create the assembly, and in particular the tongue is accommodated in the at least one cut-out or opening (31, 32).
Claims20
A method for production of a horology assembly of two components, comprising:
- supplying a first component being a spring, and comprising at least one element made of elastic material, provided with a tongue;
- supplying a second component provided with at least one cut-out or opening;
- permanently assembling the first and second components,
- wherein the first and second components cooperate by means of an obstacle so as to create the assembly, wherein the tongue is accommodated in the at least one cut-out or opening.
A barrel spring comprising a first configuration:
- in the form of a tongue which is designed to cooperate with at least one cut-out or opening in a flange, in order to assemble the spring and the flange;
- or
- in the form of at least one cut-out designed to cooperate with a tongue on a flange, in order to assemble the spring and the flange.
A barrel spring flange comprising a second configuration:
- in the form of at least one cut-out or opening, which is designed to cooperate with a tongue on a spring, in order to assemble the spring and the flange;
- or
- in the form of a tongue, which is designed to cooperate with at least one cut-out in the spring, in order to assemble the spring and the flange.
An assembled barrel spring device comprising:
- a barrel spring;
- a flange;
- a first configuration on the spring;
- and
- a second configuration on the flange,
- the first configuration and the second configuration being arranged so as to cooperate in order to assemble the spring and the flange.
A method for production of an elastic horology component, comprising:
- supplying a strip of amorphous material;
- cutting the component from the strip,
- wherein the cutting is carried out by means of a femtosecond laser.
