Abstract:
1. A timepiece mechanism cassette, comprising: at least one bearing surface for positioning the cassette in a movement; at least one bottom plate and one top bar, at least said plate or said bar being rigid; functional components positioned between or on said plate or said bar, at least two of the functional components being movable relative to each other, and at least one of the functional components is a pivotally movable functional component positioned between said plate and said bar, wherein at least one of said bottom plate and said top bar forms an inseparable single-piece component with at least one of said functional components, and forms a single-piece assembly with at least one elastically deformable connecting element, and wherein said plate and bar are movable between a proximate position where they are separated by a minimum distance and a distal position where they are separated by a maximum distance, wherein said plate includes snap fit means forming a single piece with said plate and arranged to cooperate, in the proximate position only, with a complementary snap fit means comprised in said bar and forming a single piece with said bar for holding said plate and bar in the proximate position, wherein said plate further includes a guide means forming a single piece with said plate and cooperating, in any position, with a complementary guide means further comprised in said bar and forming a single piece with said bar, for a parallel relative movement of said plate with respect to said bar, and wherein said pivotally movable functional component is positioned between a bottom pivot integral with said plate and a top pivot integral with said bar, said pivotally movable functional component is freely inserted between the bottom pivot and the top pivot in the distal position, and said pivotally movable functional component is mounted, axially confined and free to pivot between the bottom pivot and the top pivot in the proximate position.
