Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch, comprising an alarm mechanism able to produce an alarm signal at a predetermined time.
  • the lever is pivotally mounted and includes a control knob that protrudes out of the alarm clock housing.
  • a control knob that protrudes out of the alarm clock housing.
  • the lever By moving this button alternately in one direction or the other, the user can set the ringer mechanism in use or out of service. Simultaneously, the lever locks or unblocks the hammer of the ring by means of a stop.
  • the alarm clock will provide the user with visual information indicating whether the alarm is activated or not, and the hammer of the ring will be simultaneously blocked or unlocked.
  • a mechanism of the type just described if it is adapted to a clock-type timepiece, can be difficult to adapt to a wristwatch.
  • the control button by means of which the state of the alarm can be set, moves between two extreme positions along a part of the circumference of the alarm clock. Mounted on the case of a wristwatch worn on the wrist of a user, such a button could thus change position inadvertently, for example under the effect of a shock or by hanging on the sleeve of the jacket of the carrier, so that said carrier never reliably in what state is the alarm mechanism of his watch.
  • European patent application EP 0 075 535 discloses a fairly complex mechanism comprising a pusher whose actuation only causes the pivoting of a state indicator of the striking mechanism for a given position of a rod. It is therefore not possible, by actuation on a single pusher, simultaneously adjust the position of the status indicator of the striking mechanism and lock respectively unlock, the hammer ring. In addition, this mechanism does not include a column wheel.
  • European patent application EP 0 836 125 in the name of Seiko discloses a mechanism comprising a pusher whose actuation causes the pivoting of a lever whose one end comes into contact with a conductive track of a microprocessor, causing switching of the alarm function. Simultaneously, an indication of the state of the striking mechanism is provided by a needle moving above the dial of the watch. This is an electromechanical watch that does not include a column wheel.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback as well as others by providing a timepiece whose alarm mechanism can be reliably activated or deactivated and which simultaneously provides the user with visual information. on the state of said alarm mechanism.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch, provided with an alarm mechanism comprising a member capable of producing an alarm signal at a given instant. predetermined, as well as a control device for providing visual information indicating whether the waking mechanism is engaged or disengaged, and simultaneously block or unlock the alarm generating member, the control device being actuated by means of a push button, characterized in that the push button acts on the control device via a column wheel.
  • the present invention provides a timepiece whose command to display the activated or triggered state of the alarm mechanism and the locking or unlocking of the alarm generating member are controlled by pressing a push button that acts on a column wheel.
  • the column wheel makes it possible to actuate the control device with all the precision required so that the visual information is clearly perceptible to the user and that the alarm generating member is properly immobilized.
  • a column wheel is a simple mechanism whose operation is, therefore, reliable, and which, although allowing to control several functions simultaneously, is not less compact.
  • the pushbutton can be of any type including, for example, a rod slidably movable against the return force of a spring inside a through hole in the housing of the shows.
  • a push button can not be actuated accidentally, so that the wearer of the watch according to the invention can always know reliably in what state (engaged or tripped) is the alarm mechanism of his watch.
  • the wearer is no longer likely to be disturbed internpemmentally by the unexpected start of the waking mechanism or, conversely, to miss an appointment or not to wake up on time due to an involuntary deactivation of the mechanism wake up.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general idea of providing a simple device for reliably locking and unlocking an alarm mechanism alternately.
  • the present invention teaches actuating a control device which simultaneously makes it possible to provide a visual indication of the active or inactive state of the alarm mechanism and to block or unblock the alarm generating member jointly by means of a push button acting on a column wheel. Thanks to this characteristic, the waking mechanism is not likely to be actuated unexpectedly, so that the user can always rely on the settings of said waking mechanism which he has carried out.
  • the present invention will be described in connection with a wristwatch. It goes without saying, however, that the present invention is not limited to such a watch and that it can be applied to any type of timepiece.
  • the awakening mechanism shown partially in FIG. 1 is, in its general construction, of conventional type and comprises the usual elements of the mechanisms of this kind, namely in particular, a striking barrel which meshes with a striking ring driving a hammer, this hammer coming to hit a bell or a pin.
  • a striking barrel which meshes with a striking ring driving a hammer, this hammer coming to hit a bell or a pin.
  • the wakeup mechanism comprises a member 2 adapted to produce an alarm signal at a predetermined time selected in advance by the wearer of the watch.
  • this alarm generating member 2 takes the form of a wake-up hammer striking a stamp 4.
  • the alarm generating member 2 instead of producing a signal of alarm audible alarm, could generate a silent alarm, for example a vibration that the user would feel when wearing his watch on the wrist.
  • the wristwatch according to the invention also comprises a control device 6 whose role is double. It allows, on the one hand, to provide the user with visual information to indicate to the user whether the wakeup mechanism is activated or not, and, secondly, to simultaneously lock or unlock the hammer.
  • the control device 6 comprises an alarm lock lever 8 and a lock indicator lever 10.
  • the alarm locking lever 8 comprises an arm 12 which, in the locked position of the alarm mechanism 1, comes to immobilize the hammer ring 2 by pressing against a stop member 14 such as a pin secured to said hammer 2.
  • the lock indicator lever 10 has, at one of its ends, a bent shape 16 which bears a symbol d 18 as a colored pellet formed by a decal carried on said locking indicator lever 10.
  • This colored pellet 18 is intended to appear opposite a window 20 (see Figure 2) formed in the dial of the watch for indicate to the user that the wake-up mechanism 1 is activated.
  • the control device 6 can be actuated at will by the user from outside the watch case by means of a pushbutton 22.
  • This pushbutton 22, represented in the drawing schematically, can be of any desired type, provided that by pushing with a finger, it can act on the control device 6, then resume its initial position when the pressure ceases.
  • the pushbutton 22 acts on the control device 6 via a column wheel 24.
  • This column wheel 24 consists of a set of teeth 26 called ratchet and columns 28 made perpendicular to the toothing 26.
  • alarm mechanism 1 according to the invention being a two-stroke mechanism, the number of teeth 30 of the ratchet 26 is twice the number of columns 28.
  • the teeth 30 of the ratchet wheel 26 are twelve in number
  • the columns 28 are six in number.
  • these numbers are given by way of example only, and that they could be different, provided that the teeth of the ratchet wheel 26 are twice as numerous as the columns 28.
  • the columns 28 of the wheel 24 create solids and voids to control the movements of the levers, namely the alarm latch lever 8 and the lock indicator lever 10, which are bearing against a column 28 or between two columns 28.
  • the rectilinear movement along the arrow A of the push-button 22 is converted into a pivoting movement by an alarm-stop control lever 32 on which the push-button 22 weighs.
  • the control lever 32 biased by a spring 34, has at one of its ends an oblong hole 36 in which an axis 38 projects, and a bent shape 40 terminated by a spout 42 located between two teeth 30 of the wheel at ratchet 26 at its other end.
  • the spout 44 of the awakening locking lever 8 which was previously supported on one of the columns 28 falls between two of these columns 28, which has the effect of rotate the alarm lock lever 8 about an axis 52 upwards, so that its arm 12 prevents the stroke of the pin 14 and immobilizes the hammer 2 which said pin 14 is secured.
  • said alarm lock lever 8 has a heel 54 arranged so that, when the spout 44 falls between two columns 28, the heel 54 it is supported against another of these columns 28.
  • the locking indicator lever 10 is also driven by the column wheel 24 in a pivoting movement around an axis 56.
  • the spout 48 of said locking indicator lever 10 which was previously located between two columns 28 of the wheel 24 is lifted by one of these columns 28 and is supported against it.
  • the colored pellet 18 which symbolizes the arming of the waking mechanism 1 disappears and it is part of the bent form 16 of the locking indicator lever 10 which appears in the window 20 formed in the dial of the watch.
  • the colored pellet 18 is red, while the rest of the bent form 16 is white. So when the user will see a white color pellet or the same color as that of the dial through the window 20 of the dial of his watch, he will know that the alarm mechanism 1 according to the invention is locked and that the alarm is inhibited.
  • the waking mechanism 1 When pushing the push-button 22 again, the waking mechanism 1 returns to the situation illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the control lever 32 pivots and drives the wheel 42 through its spout. with columns which operates a rotation movement of a twelfth of a turn.
  • the spout 44 of the alarm locking lever 8 which was located between two columns 28 is raised by one of these columns and is found in support on it.
  • the latch 8 pivots about its axis 52 and its arm 12 moves away from the pin 14, thus releasing the hammer 2.
