Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1517197A1] Clock escapement has an escapement wheel (48) that is mounted on an axle (50) on a lifting surface so that it supports the action of a torque force on it. The surfaces of the input and output plates of the teeth of a first large wheel contact and are aligned so that the torque caused by the wheel when it is pushing in an opposed direction, is equal to zero or tries to return the anchor to its rest position.
