In this kind of timepiece provided with a chronograph mechanism, an advantage is that the conventional general gear train for manual operation can be used in maximum proportions. However, it is difficult to avoid a complication of a supporting substrate such as a main plate or a pad or an increase in the pad portions such as a hole stone. In addition, a timepiece provided with a chronograph mechanism with a smaller number of parts is known (for example, JP-A-9-178 868). In the timepiece provided with a chronograph mechanism of JP-A-9-178 868, the method that drives or connects the chronograph gear train is generated, and the chronograph gear train. can be arranged on the same side as the general gear train for manual operation. However, the timepiece provided with a chronograph mechanism of JP-A-9-178 868 also has a structure in which the chronograph gear is added to the last stage of the general gear train for operation. therefore, the disadvantages described above similar to the case of JP-A-5-215 868 are present. In addition, it is known to perform a coupling and a disconnection between a wheel of the general gear train for a manual operation and a wheel of the chronograph gear train provided with a clutch called vertical clutch that engages and disengages in a longitudinal direction (direction in the direction of the thickness of the timepiece) of a stem of a timepiece (for example, JP-A-5-215 868 or JP-A- 2004-294 279). In addition, in the timepiece provided with a chronograph mechanism, generally, since a wheel that displays the chronograph is provided on the last stage of the gear train, to remove a fluctuation of a needle , having a dial washer or pressing with a pressure spring is required, and the dial washer or the pressure spring increases the load with respect to the rotation of the gear train due to friction. It is not particularly preferable in the gear train on one side increasing the speed related to a "second" or the like. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] The present invention has been realized by considering the problems described above, and an object of this invention is to provide a timepiece provided with a chronograph mechanism in which a train of Independent gears for the chronograph is not required.

That is, in the reset state S0, on one side, the operating lever engagement portion of the hours 6a, the operating lever engagement portion of the minutes 6b, and the second operating lever engaging portion 6c are engaged with the concave portion 85c of the 85 hour chronograph clutch ring, the concave portion 55c of the chronograph clutch ring of the 55 minutes, and the concave portion 65c of the second chronograph clutch ring 65 respectively, the engagement between the respective clutch rings 85, 55 and 65 and the corresponding clutch bearing portions 81c, 51c and 61c is released. and, on the other hand, a hour hammer portion 91a, a minute hammer portion 91b, and a second hammer portion 91c of a hammer lever 91 are pressed to the corresponding core cams 88, 58 and 68, and the rotation of the shafts 84, 54 and 64 is adjusted or prohibited in a state where the hours chronograph shaft 84, the minute chronograph shaft 54, and the second chronograph shaft 64 are reset to a zero point which is an initial position. In the S0 reset state, the portion of the 83 hour chronograph gear control mechanism portion that occupies the most rotational load (moment of inertia) of the chronograph gear mechanism of the 80 hours is separated from the hours 81 main chronograph gear body part and only the hours 81 main chronograph gear body part is rotated according to the operation of the gear train for general manual operation , the part of the minute 53 chronograph gear control mechanism part that occupies the most rotational load (moment of inertia) of the minute chronograph gear mechanism 50 is separated from the main body portion 51 minute chronograph gearbox and only the 51 minute chronograph gear main body part is rotated according to the operation of the gear train for the op general manual feed, and the part of the second part of the chronograph gear control mechanism 63 which occupies the most rotational load (moment of inertia) of the second chronograph gear mechanism 60 is separated from the second part of the main chronograph gear body 61 and only the second chronograph gear main body portion 61 is rotated according to the operation of the gear train for general manual operation. With respect to the gear multiplier train 4, the barrel drum gear portion 24 of the barrel drum wheel 25 is connected to the escapement wheel 32 of the exhaust regulator mechanism 30 by the first wheel. 41 speed increasing intermediate part, the 51 minute chronograph gear main body part, the second 42 speed increasing intermediate wheel, and the second chronograph gear main body part 61, (for example, if is assumed that the minute chronograph gear main body portion 51 corresponds to a center wheel and pinion, the second speed increasing intermediate wheel 42 corresponds to a third wheel and pinion, and the second main body portion of chronograph gear 61 corresponds to a second wheel and pinion, except that the first intermediate wheel increasing the speed 41 has in addition a wheel, the gear multiplicateu The gear arrangement is arranged to be substantially similar to the gear train for manual operation in which conventional general speed control is performed. That is, in the gears multiplier gear 4 of the timepiece 2, although the minute chronograph gear mechanism 50 and the second chronograph gear mechanism 60 are incorporated in the gear train 4, since the parts of the minute chronograph gear mechanism 50 and the second chronograph gear mechanism 60 which are incorporated in the gear train 4 are limited to the main body portion the minute chronograph gear 51 and the second chronograph gear main body portion 61 in which the rotational load is small, control and exhaust operations substantially similar to the general regulation exhaust mechanism 30 which performs a speed control with respect to the general gear train gear for manual operation can be performed, and in this way, it is possible to substantially avoid a decrease in the quality of the control and exhaust operations. On the other hand, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, firstly, when the timepiece is positioned in the reset state SO, if the start button and the stop (operation) or the operation button 9a is pressed in a direction J1 and the chronograph mechanism 1 is set to a start position (start of chronograph measurement) or a state S1, the linked elements of the workpiece watchmakers 2 adopt the state shown in fig. 6. In addition, a case, where the start and stop (operation) button 9a is pressed in the J1 direction and the chronograph mechanism 1 is set to the start state (chronograph measurement start) S1 when the timepiece is positioned in a stop state S2 described below is also similar. That is to say, in the start state (beginning of chronograph measurement) S1, on one side, the hammer part of the hours 91a, the hammer part of the minutes 91b, and the second hammer portion 91c of the hammer lever 91 are separated from the corresponding core cams 88, 58 and 68 and the timing control of the 84 hour chronograph shaft, the minute chronograph shaft 54, and the second timing shaft 54. Chronograph 64 is released, on the other hand, the hours operation lever engaging portion 6a, the minutes operating lever engaging portion 6b, and the second lever engaging portion of operation 6c are extracted in the directions A4, B4 and C4 from the concave portion 85c of the 85 hours chronograph clutch ring, the concave portion 55c of the minute chronograph clutch ring 55, and the portion concave 65c of the respective second chronograph clutch ring 65 and the respective clutch rings 85, 55 and 65 are moved in the direction 12 under the operations of the respective clutch springs 86, 56 and 66 and are engaged with the corresponding clutch receiving plate portions 81c, 51c and 61d. In the start state (start of chronograph measurement) S1, the hour counterclockwise gear control mechanism part 83 of the 80 hour chronograph gear mechanism is engaged with the body part 81 Hours Chronograph Gear Main, Minute Chronograph Gear Mechanism 53 minutes chronograph gear mechanism part 50 is engaged with the minute chronograph gear main body part 51, the second chronograph gear control mechanism portion 63 of the second chronograph gear mechanism 60 is engaged with the second chronograph gear main body portion 61, the gear control mechanism portions. Chronograph 83, 53 and 63 are rotated integrally according to the chronograph measurement respectively, and the hour chronograph hand 14, the chronograph hand 15 minutes, and the second chronograph hand 16 are turned. In the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, compared to a case where the chronograph gear mechanisms 50 and 60 are positioned in the end of the gear train, since the second gear mechanism chronograph gear 60 which includes the second chronograph hand 16, or the minute chronograph gear mechanism 50 which includes the minute chronograph hand 15 is positioned in the middle of the gear train 4, the workpiece. watchmaking can be turned into a stable state without shaking. The case of the 80 hour chronograph gear mechanism which includes the 14 hour chronograph hand is also similar. As a result, a concern that the fluctuation of each of the chronograph hands 14, 15 and 16 occurs is decreased. In addition, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, if the start and stop button (operation) or the operation button 9a is pressed in the J1 direction again when the timepiece is positioned in the start state S1 and the chronograph mechanism 1 is set to the stop position (stop measuring chronograph) or state S2, the related elements of the timepiece 2 adopt the state shown in fig. 7. That is to say, in the stop state (chronograph measurement stop) S2, the operating lever engagement portion of the hours 6a, the lever engagement portion of 6 minutes operation, and the second operating lever engagement portion 6c are inserted in the directions A3, B3 and C3 in the concave portion 85c of the 85 hours chronograph clutch ring, the concave portion 55c of the minute chronograph clutch ring 55, and the concave portion 65c of the second chronograph clutch ring 65, respectively, which are against the respective clutch springs 86, 56 and 66, the clutch rings respective 85, 55 and 65 are moved in the direction T1, and the engagement between the rings and the corresponding clutch receiving plate portions 81c, 51c and 61d is released. As a result, the main gear body portions 81, 51 and 61 of the chronograph gear mechanisms 80, 50, 60 themselves constitute a portion of the respective wheel sets 4 and 5 and are rotatable. However, the rotation of the main gear body portions 81, 51 and 61 is not transmitted to the chronograph gear control mechanism parts 83, 53 and 63 of the chronograph gear mechanisms 80, 50 and 60 In addition, since the rotation of the shaft portions 84, 54 and 64 of the respective chronograph gear control mechanism portions 83, 53 and 63 is adjusted by the respective operating lever engagement portions 6a, 6b and 6c, also in this state, the concern that the fluctuation of the needles 14, 15 and 16 occurs is decreased. In addition, in the chronograph mechanism 1 of the timepiece 2, to perform the start, the stop, or the operation of return to zero of the chronograph measurement when the operation button 9a or the reset button 9b is pressed, the operation lever, the hammer lever, and the like are operated, and the operation is controlled by the control mechanism such as the operation cam as desired. However, since it is obvious that the operation can be carried out by the well-known structure or by appropriately using or combining structures similar to the well-known structure while the operation of the lever engagement parts of operation shown 6a, 6b and 6c is excluded, here the descriptions are omitted. For example, the hammer mechanism is arranged to perform the hammer operation which is known in JP-A-2004-294279 or the like. As described above, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, since a portion of the gear, which is the gear multiplier train 4 which is driven by the drum wheel 25 and in which the speed control of the wheel on the terminal side is effected by the exhaust regulating mechanism, consists of the chronograph gear main body parts 51 and 61 which are connected separately from the chronograph shafts 54 and 64 by the clutch mechanisms 59 and 69, the chronograph gear mechanisms 50 and 60 can be incorporated into the medium of the gear multiplier train 4 by the terminal or the last stage of the gear train 4. By therefore, the rotation of the chronograph gear mechanisms 50 and 60 can be stably performed and the increase in the load can be suppressed. In addition, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, since the chronograph gear main body parts 51 and 61 which are required for the transmission of rotation in the gear multiplier train 4 in the Chronograph gear mechanisms 50 and 60 may be separated from parts other than chronograph shafts 54 and 64 in chronograph gear mechanisms 50 and 60 by clutch mechanisms 59 and 69, the increase in load of the gear multiplier gear 4 due to the interposition of the chronograph gear main body parts 51 and 61 can be suppressed in maximum proportions. In addition, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, since the clutch mechanisms 59 and 69 consist of a vertical clutch in which the chronograph shafts 54 and 64 are connected to the parts of the chronograph. chronograph gear main body 51 and 61 in a substantially vertical direction, if the vertical clutch mechanisms 59 and 69 are set to the separated state, the chronograph shafts 54 and 64 are separated from the main body portions of the chronograph gear 51 and 61 and operate as the general timepiece, and if the vertical clutch mechanisms 59 and 69 are set to the connected state, the chronograph shafts 54 and 64 are connected to the main body parts of the main body. chronograph gear 51 and 61, and the chronograph operation can be performed. In addition, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, since the chronograph shafts 54 and 64 are arranged to be integrated with the clutch rings 55 and 65, the clutch springs 56 and 66, and the clutch spring support plates 57 and 67 and the chronograph gear main body portions 51 and 61 are arranged to be integrated with the clutch plates 51c and 61d, when the clutch mechanisms 59 and 69 are set to separate state, the load or disadvantage can be suppressed to a maximum extent due to the fact that the chronograph gear main body parts 51 and 61 are interposed in the middle part of gear train 4. In addition, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, since the minute chronograph gear main body part 51 of the 50 minutes chronograph gear mechanism and the second part of Chronograph gear main body 61 of the second chronograph gear mechanism 60 are incorporated in the middle of the gear multiplier train 4, the gear train can be effectively used. In addition, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, since the hour wheel 71 and the minute wheel 72 which are connected to the gear reduction gear 5 which is driven by the wheel of barrel drum 25 are provided, the hour wheel 71 and the minute wheel 72 can be driven in the state where the load is suppressed in the maximum proportion according to the rotation of the barrel drum wheel 25 in which the speed is effected by the exhaust regulator mechanism 30 and the interposition of the gear reduction gear train 5. In addition, in the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, a gear in the gear reduction gear train 5 consists of the hours chronograph gear 81 which is connected separately from the shaft. With the hours 84 clutch mechanism 84 and the gearwheel gear 5 operating as the hour chronograph gear, the gear train can be used effectively. In the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism, since the chronograph gear mechanisms 50 and 60 are incorporated as a part of the gear train which is indispensable for speed regulation, the number of wheels, of pads, or the like related to the entire timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism can be minimized. Therefore, a compact configuration is possible. In addition, understandably, the disposition of each chronograph display can be modified according to the desire and may be different from the arrangement shown in FIG. 2. For example, the minute chronograph gear mechanism 50 can be arranged in the 12:00 position, the minute chronograph gear mechanism 50 can be positioned in the 2:00 position, the wheel 80 hours chronograph can be arranged in the 10:00 position, and the balance with a spring 31 can be arranged in the 6:00 position. In the description above, the timepiece 2 provided with a chronograph mechanism in which the second hand is not present to remove the load in maximum proportions is described. However, if desired, the chronograph timepiece may include a small seconds hand. FIG. 8a shows a timepiece 2B provided with a chronograph mechanism which comprises a small seconds hand 17 in the position of 12:00. The outline of a chronograph mechanism 1B of the timepiece 2B provided with a chronograph mechanism is shown in a sectional view of FIG. 9. In timepiece 2B with the chronograph mechanism 1B of FIGS. 8a and 9, the same elements as the elements shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 are indicated by the same reference numbers, and with respect to elements which are approximately similar but have some differences, a suffix M is added after the reference numbers of the elements of Figs. 1 to 7. As understood from FIG. 9, the chronograph mechanism 1B includes a second wheel 95 which engages with the second chronograph gear 61c of the second chronograph gear portion 61 of the second chronograph gear mechanism 60 by a second gear 95b by a second gear. intermediate gear 43. A shaft 95a of the second wheel 95 is rotatable about an axis line of center K which is positioned in the position of 12:00. In addition, although not illustrated in detail, in the chronograph mechanism 1B of FIG. 9, the same exhaust regulator mechanism 30 as the exhaust regulator mechanism 30 shown in FIG. 3 or the like is connected to the second chronograph gear portion 61 of the second chronograph gear mechanism 60 or the second gear 95b of the second wheel 95. Also in the timepiece 2B provided with a chronograph mechanism, a concern that the chronograph hands 16, 15 and 14 are shaken is decreased. In addition, in the case where the small seconds hand is present, the window can not be present as a timepiece 2C provided with a chronograph mechanism 1C shown in FIG. 8b instead of the window 7a which is formed in the dial 7 so that the rocker with a spring 31 is seen as FIG. 8a. In addition, for example, the display of the small seconds hand can be performed in the 9:00 position as a 2D timepiece provided with a 1D chronograph mechanism shown in FIG. 8c instead of the display of the small seconds hand which is made in the position of 12:00. In this case, for example, the regulating exhaust mechanism 30 other than the spring balance may be disposed in the position of approximately 12:00.
