Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0869410A1] The watch has a day display of numbers from 1 to 31 arranged over a lower circular sector over which a day indicating hand is centred, see. FIG 1). The drive mechanism(FIG 2) for the day hand includes a spindle(4) fixed to a pinion(5) which pivots in a plate(6). The pinion(5) is also in contact with a two toothed arms(7,9) which pivot on the plate(6). The arm(7) is acted on by a spring(8) which tends to displace the pinion(5) in a anti-hourly direction. The free end of the arm(9) has a feeler or roller(10) which butts up against a crown(11) for the day indicator. This roller(10) is maintained permanently against the exterior periphery of the crown(11) under the action of the springs(8) and the pinion(5). This ensures that the pinion(5) and the day hand(3) are always positively maintained in a set angular position, all the play between the teeth of the racks and the pinion is eliminated.
