Abstract

See full text

There are provided a constant force device, a movement, and a mechanical timepiece which can decrease a loss of power for controlling rotation of a stop wheel & pinion. A constant force device includes an inner carriage that outputs an output torque by being rotated around a tenon of a first inner rotation body and a tenon of a second inner rotation body, a constant force spring that supplies a rotation force to the inner carriage, an outer carriage that stores a resilient force in the constant force spring by being rotated around a tenon of a first outer rotation body and a tenon of a second outer rotation body, a stop wheel & pinion that is supported to be rotatable around a stop wheel axle body in the outer carriage, and that is rotatable around the tenon of the first outer rotation body and the tenon of the second outer rotation body, and a stopper that is rotated around the tenon of the first inner rotation body and the tenon of the second inner rotation body together with the inner carriage, and that engages with the stop wheel & pinion in response to rotation of the stop wheel & pinion which is rotated around the stop wheel axle body.
