Abstract
The various pivoting members--setting-lever (3), rocker lever (14) and correction lever (16)--of a setting mechanism having a setting stem (2) are held in place and pivoted by means of a metal bridge (90) an arm (9) of which forms the setting-lever spring. The setting-lever, the rocker lever and the correction lever are interposed between the plate (1, 10, 11) of the movement and the bridge which not only provides for holding them in position but also provides for pivoting thereof. For that purpose, these three pivoting members each carry an arbor (4, 15, 17), which is fitted thereto and which has two end sections (4a, 15a, 17a; 21) projecting outside of said pivoting member. One of these end sections (21) engages without appreciable clearance into a corresponding hole (101) in the bridge and the other end (4a, 15a, 17a) is located with substantial clearance in a corresponding hole (20) in the plate and serves for the prepositioning of said pivoting element on said plate.
