Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A composite timepiece component of a regulating mechanism of a watch, including pallets having a staff on which is arranged an axial shoulder, the pallets being provided with pallet-stones intended to interact intermittently with an escape wheel set, the composite component further including a mass fastened to the pallets, the mass being made of a denser material than that constituting the pallets, so that the mass has a maximum radial dimension smaller than or identical to the maximum radial dimension of the pallets.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A composite timepiece component of a regulating mechanism of a watch, wherein the composite timepiece comprises pallets having a staff on which is arranged an axial shoulder, said pallets being provided with pallet-stones intended to interact intermittently with an escape wheel set, the composite component further comprising a mass fastened to the pallets, said mass being made of a denser material than that constituting the pallets, so that the mass has a maximum radial dimension smaller than or identical to the maximum radial dimension of the pallets. 2 . The composite component according to claim 1 , wherein the mass is made from a material with a density greater than 15. 3 . The composite component according to claim 1 , wherein the mass is made from a material with a density greater than 19 . 4 . The composite component according to claim 1 , wherein the mass is made of gold, platinum or their alloys. 5 . The composite component according to claim 1 , wherein the mass bears against the axial shoulder , in a manner opposing the pallet-stone. 6 . The composite component according to claim 1 , wherein the mass comprises a central through-hole via which it is driven onto the staff of the pallets. 7 . The composite component according to claim 1 , wherein the mass comprises a stack of a plurality of rotationally symmetrical elements.
