Abstract
An anti-trip mechanism includes a flange with a radial travel limiting channel and a balance spring with a strip wound into a plurality of coils. The balance spring includes an inner coil fixed, at a first end, to a collet coaxial to the balance spring relative to a pivot axis, and an outer coil fixed, at a second, opposite end, to a hooking element. A coil of the balance spring includes a finger that includes a feeler spindle stud that is mounted integrally with the coil. The feeler spindle stud is moveable without any contact, during the normal extension and contraction of said balance spring, in the radial travel limiting channel of the flange. The radial travel limiting channel limits travel of the finger relative to the pivot axis when an angle of pivoting imparted to the collet is greater than a determined nominal value.
