专利汇可以提供Variable capacitor, especially for temperature-compensated electronic timepiece专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且An electronic watch or other timepiece has a clockwork driven by an electronic oscillator having a quartz crystal. A variable trimmer condenser is connected in parallel with this crystal for adjusting the operating frequency of the oscillator and hence the accuracy of the watch. A counter-electrode or armature closely spaced from a fixed plate of this trimmer condenser is carried on or forms part of a bimetallic strip which normally lies against an abutment in the condenser housing so that only when the ambient temperature passes a predetermined threshold does the strip pull away from the abutment and later the capacitance of the condenser, thereby changing the operating frequency of the oscillator in a manner calculated to compensate for the effects of temperature variations on the crystal and to maintain that frequency stable within narrow limits. The strip can be arranged to make such compensation above or below the threshold whose value can be adjusted with the aid of the coacting setscrew.,下面是Variable capacitor, especially for temperature-compensated electronic timepiece专利的具体信息内容。

1. A variable-capacitance trimmer condenser for a clockwork controlled by an electronic oscillator provided with a frequencydetermining crystal, comprising a pair of relatively adjustable plates, a thermally deformable element provided with an armature confronting one of said plates and defining therewith a supplemental capacitance, said armature being movable relatively to said one of said plates for varying said supplemental capacitance in response to changes in ambient temperature, and stop means engageable by said element in a position thereof corresponding to a predetermined temperature threshold for preventing thermal displacement of said armature in a band of ambient temperatures bounded by said threshold whereby said supplemental capacitance varies only with temperatures outside said band.
2. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 1 wherein said stop means is adjustable for varying said threshold.
3. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 2 wherein said element comprises a bimetallic strip, said stop means including a fixed abutment engageable with said strip at a first location and an adjustable member engageable with said strip at a second location remote from said first location.
4. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 3 wherein said armature is disposed between said first and second locations on said strip.
5. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 4 wherein said plates include a stationary plate and a movable plate lying in parallel planes, said armature being parallel to said plates at least upon simultaneous engagement of said strip with both said abutment and said adjustable stop.
6. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 5 wherein said stationary plate is disposed next to said strip between the latter and said movable plate.
7. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 6 wherein said stationary plates is provided with a support, said adjustable member being a screw threaded into said support.
8. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 6, further comprising a conductive enclosure for said plates and said strip, said abutment being part of said enclosure, said strip and said movable plate being conductively connected to said enclosure, said stationary plate being galvanically insulated from said enclosure.
9. A trimmer condenser as defined in claim 8 wherein said armature is a straight portion of said strip terminating in a free extremity engageable with said abutment, said strip having an opposite extremity fixed to said enclosure and a connecting part between said opposite extremity and said straight portion, said adjustable member being cammingly engageable with said connecting part.
10. In combination, a clockwork, an electronic oscillator provided with a frequency-determining crystal controlling said clockwork, and a trimmer condenser as defined in claim 1 connected in parallel with said crystal.
