Abstract
A horological mechanism (100) including a controller (300) for controlling the stopping or release of a wheel (200), and a stopping lever (10) guided on a structure (400) and which includes a first arm (16) carrying a control finger (12) that can be set by the controller, and a second arm (17) carrying a stopping finger (13) arranged to bear against the wheel (200) or to release it, and a flexible arm (15), more flexible than the first arm (16) and arranged to bear against a first fixed banking (42) of the structure (400), and which allows the movement of the stopping lever (10) in a single configuration for driving the control finger (12) by the controller pushing the control finger (12), to move the second arm (17) and stop the movement of the wheel (200).
Claims12
A horological mechanism (100) including, fastened to a structure (400), control means (300) arranged to be set by a user or by a mechanism or by a circuit of a timepiece (1000) and to control the stopping or release of a wheel (200), included in said mechanism (100), which includes at least one stopping lever (10) guided on said structure (400) at a guidance, said stopping lever (10) including a first arm (16) carrying, at a distance from said guidance, a control finger (12) arranged to be set by said control means (300), and a second arm (17) carrying, at a distance from said guidance, a stopping surface (13) arranged to bear against said wheel (200) or to release it,
- wherein said stopping lever (10) further includes a flexible arm (15), which is more flexible than said first arm (16) and which is arranged to bear against a first fixed banking (42) included in said structure (400), and which allows the movement of said stopping lever (10) in relation to said guidance, in a single configuration for driving said control finger (12) by said control means (300) pushing said control finger (12), to move said second arm (17) and stop the movement of said wheel (200) and
- wherein the arm, the second arm and the flexible arm extend on one same side of said guidance.
