20120159766 | ASSEMBLY OF A PART THAT HAS NO PLASTIC DOMAIN - A method of assembling a member made of a first material in a part made of a second material having no plastic domain, including forming the part with an aperture; inserting an intermediate part, which is made of a third material and includes a hole into the aperture without any stress; introducing the member into the hole without any stress; elastically and plastically deforming the intermediate part by moving two tools towards each other axially, respectively on the top and bottom parts of the intermediate part, so as to exert a radial stress against the member and against the wall of the part surrounding the aperture by causing the elastic deformation of the part, in order to secure the assembly in a manner that is not destructive for the part. The member can be a time piece. | 06-28-2012 |
20120159767 | ASSEMBLY OF A PART THAT HAS NO PLASTIC DOMAIN - A method of assembling a member made of a first material in a part made of a second material having no plastic domain, includes forming the part with an aperture, inserting a radially flared portion of the member into the aperture, without any stress, and elastically and plastically deforming the flared portion of the member in the aperture by moving two tools towards each other axially, respectively on the top and bottom parts of the flared portion, so as to exert a radial stress against the wall of the part surrounding the aperture, causing the elastic deformation of the part, to secure the assembly in a manner that is not destructive for said part. The member can be a timepiece. | 06-28-2012 |

20130283615 | BARREL ARBOUR AND MAINSPRING | 10-31-2013 |
20140169141 | TIMEPIECE BARREL - Timepiece barrel for pivotal assembly between a bottom plate and a bridge and including at least one spring housed between a pivoting drum and a ratchet and hooked between this drum at the outer end thereof and an arbour at the inner end thereof, this arbour pivoting integrally with this ratchet about a pivot axis. | 06-19-2014 |
20140186820 | MICRO-FLUIDIC DEVICE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A FLUID SAMPLE - Use of a programmable device with capacitive touch screen for the analysis of a fluid sample as interface between a micro-fluidic device, this micro-fluidic device comprising at least one electrode and at least one micro-channel comprising an input for the introduction of the sample, and the processor of said programmable device with a capacitive touch screen. | 07-03-2014 |
20140211596 | TIMEPIECE BARREL ASSEMBLY WITH REDUCED CORE DIAMETER - A timepiece barrel assembly, including a barrel mainspring mounted between a barrel drum and a receiving surface of a barrel core coaxial to the drum. The spring is made of a multiphase, cobalt-nickel-chromium based alloy, having a Young's modulus of between 200 and 240 GPa and a shear modulus of between 80 and 100 GPa, and having a width to thickness ratio of between 9 and 21, and the maximum radius of the steel or stainless steel core relative to its pivot axis is less than nine times the maximum thickness of the spring, and the barrel assembly includes, on the spring or the drum, a mechanism limiting longitudinal clearance, towards the pivot axis, between the drum and the mainspring. | 07-31-2014 |
20140376338 | TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT HAVING A BARREL WITH REDUCED CORE DIAMETER - A timepiece movement, including a plate and a bridge carrying a barrel including a barrel mainspring between a drum and a receiving surface of a core and a cover fixed to the drum. The spring is made of a multiphase, cobalt-nickel-chromium based alloy, having a Young's modulus of between 200 and 240 GPa and a shear modulus of between 80 and 100 GPa, and having a width to thickness ratio of between 3 and 23, and the maximum radius of the steel or stainless steel core relative to the pivot axis is less than nine times the maximum thickness of the spring. The movement further includes a mechanism limiting shake including a shim-washer independent of the core and guided by a shoulder of the core. | 12-25-2014 |
