Abstract (en)
The balance (45') has a hub (39') connected to a felloe (37') by arms (40'-43'), where composite balance is formed in a silicon based layer. The felloe has a crenated ring (23') whose density is higher than that of the silicon based layer for increasing inertia of the balance. The ring is mounted in a recess formed in one of main surfaces of the felloe. A cylinder (25') is mounted on one of main surfaces of the hub, where the cylinder and the crenated ring are formed from metallic material. An independent claim is also included for a method for fabricating a composite balance.
Abstract (fr)
L'invention se rapporte à un balancier composite (45, 45') formé dans une couche (21) en un matériau à base de silicium et comportant un moyeu (39, 39') relié à une serge (37, 37') par au moins un bras (40, 41, 42, 43). Selon l'invention, la serge (37,37') comporte au moins une partie supplémentaire (23, 23') de plus grande densité que ledit matériau à base de silicium permettant d'augmenter l'inertie dudit balancier. L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé 1 de fabrication d'un tel balancier. L'invention concerne le domaine des mouvements horlogers.
