Escape pallets for timepiece

摘要

The dart (15) is press fitted to the fork (14) by insertion of a male component (20) on the dart into a female feature (30) on the fork. An irregularity (22) ensures that the dart may only be fitted in one position and that it will remain there for it's working life. The dart and fork assembly is made sufficiently flexible to resist breakage during the pressing operation and the male and female configurations may be widely varied
