Abstract
A horological movement including a plate (33) configured to support other parts of the movement, such as a movable member, the member extending at least in part along a second plane and including drive means provided with a gear train (98), an activation toothing, and variable adjustor (30, 40, 130) for variably adjusting the inclination of the member relative to the plate (33), so that the second plane forms an angle of variable value with the first plane of the plate (33).
Claims16
A horological movement comprising:
- a plate (33) extending substantially in a first plane and being configured to support other parts of the movement including a movable member extending at least in part along a second plane'
- drive means provided with a gear train (98), said member including an activation toothing enabling actuation thereof;
- and
- variable adjustment means (30, 40, 130) for variably adjusting the inclination of the member relative to the plate (33), so that the second plane forms an angle of variable value with the first plane of the plate (33),
- wherein the variable adjustment means (30, 40, 130) includes a transmission gear (80, 131) or first transmission gear (31) arranged on the plate (33) to cooperate with the activation toothing of the member,
- wherein the transmission gear (80, 131) or first transmission gear (31) is configured to rotate relative to the plate (33) due to the drive means, and
- wherein the transmission gear (80, 131) or first transmission gear (31) have a concave peripheral face provided with a substantially spherical toothing (32, 81, 181) for meshing with the toothing of the member, so as to actuate the member regardless of the orientation of the member relative to the plate (33).
The horological movement according to claim 11, wherein the second transmission gear (35) comprises double-cut teeth, combining a concave spherical cut and a straight cut.
