Claims
  • 1. A Balance for a timepiece movement including a felloe, arms connecting the felloe to the balance staff and inertia blocks for adjusting the unbalance and regulating the moment of inertia, wherein the felloe includes studs directed inwards, a threaded hole into which said inertia blocks are screwed from the inside, passing through said felloe and said studs.
  • 2. The balance according to claim 1, wherein the studs are directed radially inwards.
  • 3. The balance according to claim 1, wherein the studs are arranged on the inner surface of the balance felloe.
  • 4. The balance according to claim 1, wherein the studs are arranged on one of the frontal surfaces of the balance felloe.
  • 5. The balance according to claim 1, wherein the length of the thread corresponds to the maximum travel of the inertia blocks defined by the width of the studs and the felloe, without passing beyond the exterior of the felloe.
  • 6. The balance according to claim 1, wherein the studs are arranged between the arms.
  • 7. The balance according to claim 1, wherein the studs are arranged in recesses provided in the arms.
  • 8. The balance according to claim 2, wherein the studs are arranged on the inner surface of the balance felloe.
  • 9. The balance according to claim 2, wherein the studs are arranged on one of the frontal surfaces of the balance felloe.
