Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device with a vibratable element for generating tones of a watch, in particular a wake-up clock, with a suspension of the vibratable element, with a fastening area of the suspension for fastening the suspension to a carrier and with a mounting area Suspension for holding the vibratable element, the fastening area being connected to the holding area by a suspension element.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which ensures that the vibratable element can vibrate as freely as possible.
  • the suspension consists of a resilient material and has an opening having a support ring through which a holding arm is guided, which is on one free end on the inside of the support ring diametrically opposite the inside of the support ring is connected to the latter and on its other end projecting out through the opening of the support ring carries the vibratable element.
  • This configuration achieves extensive vibration decoupling of the vibratable element from the carrier, which leads to a long-lasting and thus high quality sound.
  • a uniform and therefore the least possible influence on the vibration of the vibratable element is achieved in that the ends of the support ring forming the opening each have a fastening area, both fastening areas being arranged symmetrically to the holding arm.
  • the vibration decoupling from the support is further increased.
  • the carrier arms preferably extend to the center of the carrier ring.
  • a low overall height can be achieved in that the support ring and / or support arm and / or support arm are arranged approximately in one plane, the support ring, support arm and support arms preferably forming a plate-shaped component. This also enables a simple and inexpensive production of these parts as a stamped part.
  • the vibratable element can be a closed ring acting as a bell.
  • the vibratable element is an orifice ring.
  • the ring acts as a tuning fork.
  • the ring has the effect of a bell.
  • the holding arm can be provided in the middle with a stop block which can be hit by a stop element for generating vibrations.
  • the devices shown in the figures have a plate-shaped suspension 1 consisting of resilient material.
  • the suspension 1 has a carrier ring 2 which is provided with an opening 3. Starting from the opening 3 diametrically opposite side of the support ring 2, a holding arm 4 extends through the opening 3 through to the outside and is connected there with a ring 5 or 5 'or 5' formed, vibratable element.
  • the ring 5 or 5 'or 5 ⁇ concentrically surrounds the carrier ring 2 at a distance.
  • the ring 5 is designed as a closed ring and acts like a bell.
  • the ring 5 'or 5 ⁇ is provided with an opening 6, wherein in Figure 3, the opening 6 of the opening 3 of the carrier 2 is arranged diametrically opposite, so that the ring 5' as Tuning fork works.
  • the opening 6 is arranged in the ring 5 ⁇ near the opening 3 of the support ring 2.
  • the ring 5 ⁇ acts like a bell.
  • the ends of the carrier ring 2 forming the opening 3 extend parallel to the holding arm 4
  • the attachment areas 8 are eye-shaped with holes 9, the entire device consisting of ring 5 or 5 'or 5' and suspension 1 can be attached to the attachment areas 8 on a fixed support 10.
  • the disk-shaped support 10 has two step-like protruding retaining bolts 11, the smaller steps 12 of which have a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the bores 9.
  • the fastening areas 8 with the holes 9 are pushed onto the small steps of the holding bolts 11 until they rest on the shoulders of the holding bolts 11 formed by the large steps 13 and are fastened to the holding bolts 11 in this position.
  • a cylindrical stop block 14 is arranged centrally on the holding arm 4 and can be struck by a stop element, not shown.
  • a stop can also be struck by a stop element on the radially inner or on the radially outer lateral surface of the ring 5.
