Abrégé

The present invention relates to an adjustment device (1) for adjusting a clock mechanism on the basis of an isotropic harmonic oscillator, intended for being integrated into a timepiece. This adjustment device comprises a rigid frame and at least two masses (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4) mounted so as to pivot on the rigid frame. A driving means with variable radius (1.6) is capable of being driven by a power source of said timepiece and of transmitting said power to the masses (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4). Transmission and reversal means (1.5) are coupled to said drive means (1.6) as well as to the masses (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4) and transmit the power received from the driving means (1.6) to the masses (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4). The device can replace an escapement system of the timepiece.

Abrégé

The present invention relates to a device for adjusting functions of a timepiece, the device being equipped with a selection and actuation mechanism comprising - a drive member (9, 109) driving a driving pinion (1, 101) in a clockwise and in a counterclockwise direction, - at least one driven pinion (2, 3, 102, 103) that is driven when the driving pinion (1, 101) rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, said driven pinion (2, 3, 102, 103) taking up a first position under the effect of the driving pinion (1, 101) rotating clockwise, said driven pinion (2, 3, 102, 103) actuating an actuation member (A, A') of a first timepiece function in said first position, and taking up a second position under the effect of the driving pinion (1, 101) rotating counterclockwise, said driven pinion (2, 3, 102, 103) actuating an actuation member (1, 101) of a second timepiece function in said second position, said driven pinion (2, 3, 102, 103) not actuating the actuation member (A, A') of the first timepiece function when it is located in said second position and vice versa. The device for adjusting functions of a timepiece is distinguished by the fact that second selection and actuation mechanism comprises at least two driven pinions (2, 3, 102, 103), and that the adjusting device also comprises a control mechanism that causes the driving pinion (1, 101) to mesh selectively with each of the driven pinions (2, 3, 102, 103).

Abrégé

The present invention relates to a monolithic component for a timepiece, in particular for a mechanical timepiece, comprising at least a rigid part and an elastically flexible part and designed to transmit the movement of an actuator (1, 1') of the timepiece to a driven piece (5) of the timepiece. A monolithic component according to the present invention is characterised in that it comprises: a rigid frame (6); a first rigid driving member (3); and a first elastically flexible structure (2, 2', 2"', 7) connecting the frame to the first driving member (3). In addition, a monolithic component according to the present invention is also characterised in that the first elastically flexible structure (2, 2', 2"', 7) is configured to allow the movement of the first driving member (3) with at least two degrees of freedom, whereby said movement can be generated by the actuator (1, 1') coming into contact with the first driving member (3).
