Title: Automatic winding mechanism for watches
IPC: G04B5/02
Filed: 1953-02-03
Abstract: 730,613. Watches. FABRIQUE D'HORLOGERIE C. TISSOT & FILS SOC. ANON. Feb. 3, 1953 [Feb. 6, 1952], No. 3000/53. Class 139. A watch automatic winding mechanism comprises an oscillatory weight or rotor, a driving pinion fixed to the rotor so that its axis coincides with the axis of rotation of the rotor, a rocker carried by the rotor to pivot about said axis of rotation and two pinions mounted on said rocker and permanently meshing with said driving pinion. The weight or rotor 2 has a tubular projection 17, Fig. 2, by which it is rotatably fitted through bearings 42 on a spindle 21 integral with a plate 27 fixed by screws to a bridge 13. A rocker 1 carrying two pinions 7 and 8, Fig. 1, is mounted on an extension of the sleeve of a pinion 9 forced on to the sleeve 17. The rocker I is level with the bridge 12 and the pivot pins 5 and 6 of the pinions 7 and 8 are secured thereto in rivet-like manner. The spindle 21 is axially fixed by a thin resilient metallic plate 32 which co-operates with the head 35 of the spindle 21 and is removable therefrom. The rocker 1 has two projections 3 and 4 which co-operate with two recesses 15, 16 in the bridge 12 to limit the movement of the rocker 1 when the rotor changes its direction of rotation. When the rotor 2 is moving clockwise the pinion 9 drives a gear 10 in the mainspring winding train counter-clockwise through the pinion 8 and a pinion 11. When the rotor 2 is moving counter-clockwise the pinion 9 drives the gear 10 counter-clockwise through the pinion 7. A spring-pressed click 23 prevents reverse rotation of the gear 10.

Abstract: 310,992. Brunh³bner, G. Feb. 3, 1928. Soldering; uniting by fusion.-In soldering or welding the joints of chains, rings, chain mail' &c. of non-precious, semi-precious, or precious metals such as 8-carat gold, copper, silver, goldplated metal, gold copper alloy, copper-zinc alloy such as tombac, platinum and aluminium alloys, and alpaka &c., a reducing agent is used consisting of amorphous phosphorous either alone or together with other non-metallic elements or compounds thereof such as carbides and silicides, e.g. carborundum. The phosphorus may be mixed with water, oil, a solution of borax in water, &c. together with ordinary fluxes and may also be mixed with powdered metal to form a solder. One mixture may consist of 20 parts of amorphous phosphorus with 5 parts of sodium carbonate and 5 parts of sodium phosphate, or with 10 parts of borax. If a metal powder is used 10 to 15 parts of brass or zinc power are added for soldering alloys containing copper, silver and aluminium, the metal powder may consist of equal parts of copper, zinc and silver with or without cadmium, and for soldering goldplatinum alloys, of silver-gold solder. An oxide such as silicic acid or quartz may also be added to act as a solder repulsing mass on chain links to prevent stiff soldering and also to provide silicon to assist in the reducing action, the silicon being formed by reduction of the silica by the phosphorous. A mixture for uniting tombac chains may consist of 10 parts of quartz powder and 25 to 30 parts of amorphous phosphorous ground together and stirred with oil. In joining chains the parts may be rubbed with amorphous phosphorous, then shaken with a mixture of carborundum or zinc silicide and boric acid and then painted with a liquid containing aluminium bronze and boric acid. The carborundum also serves to preserve the hardness of the metal and assists in preventing stiff soldering. The liquid or pasty solder mixture may be applied in the machine for making the chain or chain mail or the chains &c. may be subsequently dipped into the liquid or pasty mixture of solder means and oil &c., and the excess oil &c. removed in a centrifuge and the article covered with dry powdered solder. The oil &c. may be first applied to the wire before the chain is made or subsequently by dipping and the dry solder mixture separately applied by scouring after excess liquid has been removed in a centrifuge. The article may be merely moistened with the oil &c. before the dry solder mixture is applied, by rubbing the article between the hands moistened thereby by passing the wire in the chain making machine through an impregnated cushion or felt bolster.
