- said projecting element which may be formed by a pin arranged to rest against an edge of the jumper surprise, is arranged on said probe, which is preferably formed by an arm of the rack piece that crosses the jumper of surprise.
- Said probe can be either the hour probe, arranged to feel an hour snail, or another feeler arranged on a rack piece and arranged for palpating for example a snail quarters.
- the mechanism represented in the drawings represents a mobile of center 1 driven by the watch movement to make one revolution per hour in the direction of arrow A.
- the mobile 1 comprises a carriageway 2, a snail of the quarters 3 and a 4 minutes snail equipped with a surprise 5.
- Each branch 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d of the the minute snail has fifteen steps, the first of which 6a, located farthest the outside and corresponding to the first minute of a quarter of an hour, is narrower than the others.
- the function of surprise is to extend this step when it is in its active position 5a shown in broken lines in Figure 1.
- the position of the surprise 5 drawn in solid lines is its retracted position. She is held by a return spring (not shown) resting on the snail 4.
- a surprise jumper 8 is formed by a lever pivotally mounted in 9 and biased by a spring 10 which bears against a pin 11 of the jumper 8 for the push towards surprise 5, the jumper having a V-shaped beak which has a inclined plane 13 used to rotate surprise 5 in the direction of arrow A against the force of the aforementioned return spring.
- a fixed stop 15 retains the jumper 8 when it is advanced without being able to lean against surprise.
- a 16 hour snail, forming a twelve-step cam 17, is fixed by a screw 18 to a star 19 which is driven step by step by the movement of watchmaking so as to complete one revolution in twelve hours.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie à sonnerie comportant un mobile de centre faisant un tour par heure et pourvu d'un premier limaçon et d'une surprise associée à celui-ci, un deuxième limaçon, une pièce à crémaillère reliée à une commande de sonnerie et agencée pour pivoter à partir d'une position de repos lorsque ladite commande est actionnée, la pièce à crémaillère étant pourvue d'un palpeur agencé pour buter contre le deuxième limaçon lorsque la commande de sonnerie est actionnée, un sautoir de surprise agencé pour s'appuyer contre la surprise sous l'effet d'un ressort pour faire pivoter la surprise sur le premier limaçon, et un dispositif isolateur de surprise agencé pour tenir le sautoir de surprise à l'écart de la surprise lorsque la pièce à crémaillère est en position de repos.The present invention relates to a striking timepiece comprising a center mobile making one revolution per hour and equipped with a first snail and a surprise associated with it, a second snail, a rack piece connected to a bell control and arranged to pivot from a rest position when said control is actuated, the rack part being provided with a probe arranged to abut against the second snail when the control of bell is activated, a surprise jumper arranged to lean against the surprise under the effect of a spring to rotate the surprise on the first snail, and a surprise isolating device arranged to keep the surprise jumper away surprise when the rack part is in the rest position.
Rappelons que pratiquement toutes les pièces d'horlogerie capables de sonner les quarts et les minutes (ou les intervalles de cinq minutes) comportent une came escamotable appelée "surprise", qui est associée au limaçon des minutes (ou des cinq minutes). L'extrémité de chacune des quatre branches de ce limaçon doit être rétrécie pour permettre au palpeur des minutes d'atteindre l'échelon le plus proche du centre du limaçon, quand quatorze minutes doivent être sonnées. Il en résulte que l'échelon extérieur du limaçon, qui correspond à zéro minute de sonnerie, s'étend sur un angle inférieur à la valeur normale de 6° correspondant à la rotation du mobile de centre en une minute. Les quatre branches de la surprise servent à agrandir temporairement cet échelon au début de chaque quart d'heure. Le sautoir de surprise commande le pivotement de la surprise sur le limaçon en s'appuyant contre l'extrémité d'une des branches de la surprise. Dans les anciennes pièces d'horlogerie, cet appui était continu durant les dernières minutes d'un quart d'heure et les premières minutes du quart d'heure suivant. Le frottement du sautoir sur la surprise pendant cette durée produisait une usure notable des pièces en contact et tendait à ralentir le mouvement d'horlogerie.Recall that virtually all timepieces capable of ring quarter and minutes (or five-minute intervals) have a retractable cam called "surprise", which is associated with the minute snail (or five minutes). The end of each of the four branches of this snail must be narrowed to allow the minute probe to reach the highest step near the center of the snail, when fourteen minutes must be struck. It results that the outer rung of the snail, which corresponds to zero minutes of ringing, extends over an angle less than the normal value of 6 ° corresponding to the rotation of the center mobile in one minute. The four branches of surprise are used to temporarily increase this step at the start of each quarter of an hour. The saltire of surprise controls the pivoting of the surprise on the snail by leaning against the end of one of the branches of surprise. In old timepieces, this support was continuous during the last minutes of a quarter of an hour and the first minutes of the next quarter hour. The friction of the necklace on the surprise during this time produced significant wear of the parts in contact and tended to slow down the watch movement.
Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on a inventé il y a plus d'un siècle des dispositifs isolateurs de surprise, qui maintiennent le sautoir hors de prise de la surprise tant que la sonnerie des minutes n'est pas demandée. On trouve une description détaillée d'un exemple d'un isolateur de surprise aux pages 175 à 181 de la troisième édition du livre de F. Lecoultre intitulé "Les montres compliquées" et publié par Chs. Rohr & Cie SA, Bienne (Suisse) en 1985 (ISBN 2-88175-000-1). Ce dispositif est formé par un levier supplémentaire à deux branches, dont l'une s'appuie contre la commande de sonnerie lorsque celle-ci est au repos, pour que l'autre branche tienne pendant ce temps le sautoir de surprise à distance de la surprise, contre la force du ressort agissant sur le sautoir. La commande de sonnerie agit d'une part sur la pièce à crémaillère et d'autre part sur l'isolateur de surprise.To overcome this drawback, devices over a century ago were invented surprise isolators, which keep the necklace out of surprise the minutes ring is not requested. There is a detailed description of a example of a surprise isolator on pages 175 to 181 of the third edition of book by F. Lecoultre entitled "Complicated watches" and published by Chs. Rohr & Cie SA, Bienne (Switzerland) in 1985 (ISBN 2-88175-000-1). This device is formed by a additional lever with two branches, one of which leans against the control buzzer when it is at rest, so that the other branch will hold during this time the surprise jumper at a distance from the surprise, against the force of the spring acting on the necklace. The ringing control acts on the one hand on the part to rack and secondly on the surprise isolator.
Dans le brevet CH 11660, il est décrit un isolateur de surprise comportant aussi un levier supplémentaire, mais agencé différemment. Dans ce cas, l'un des bras du levier isolateur prend appui sur la pièce à crémaillère pour que le levier garde une position telle que son autre bras retienne le sautoir de surprise. La commande de sonnerie agit sur le premier bras pour faire pivoter le levier de façon à pousser la pièce à crémaillère et libérer pendant ce temps le sautoir de surprise. Par contre, dans ce mécanisme le palpeur des heures n'est pas monté sur la pièce à crémaillère.In patent CH 11660, a surprise isolator is described comprising also an additional lever, but arranged differently. In this case, one of the arms of the isolating lever rests on the rack piece so that the lever keeps a position such that his other arm holds the jumper of surprise. The command of bell acts on the first arm to pivot the lever so as to push the rack piece and release the surprise jumper during this time. On the other hand, in this mechanism the hour sensor is not mounted on the rack part.
Dans les deux dispositifs susmentionnés, la fonction d'isolateur de surprise nécessite un levier supplémentaire relativement grand, qui est gênant dans un mécanisme déjà très compliqué. La présente invention permet d'éviter cet inconvénient grâce à une construction très simple et peu encombrante.In the two aforementioned devices, the surprise isolator function requires a relatively large additional lever, which is inconvenient in a already very complicated mechanism. The present invention makes it possible to avoid this disadvantage thanks to a very simple and space-saving construction.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie à sonnerie du genre indiqué ci-dessus en préambule, caractérisée en ce que le dispositif isolateur de surprise comporte un élément saillant fixé à la pièce à crémaillère et agencé pour coopérer avec le sautoir de surprise pour écarter celui-ci de la surprise.To this end, the invention relates to a striking timepiece of the kind indicated above in the preamble, characterized in that the isolating device surprise has a protruding element attached to the rack piece and arranged to cooperate with the surprise jumper to keep it from surprise.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, ledit élément saillant, qui peut être formé par une goupille agencée pour s'appuyer contre un bord du sautoir de surprise, est disposé sur ledit palpeur, lequel est formé de préférence par un bras de la pièce à crémaillère qui croise le sautoir de surprise. Ledit palpeur peut être soit le palpeur des heures, agencé pour palper un limaçon des heures, soit un autre palpeur disposé sur une pièce à crémaillère et agencé pour palper par exemple un limaçon des quarts.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said projecting element, which may be formed by a pin arranged to rest against an edge of the jumper surprise, is arranged on said probe, which is preferably formed by an arm of the rack piece that crosses the jumper of surprise. Said probe can be either the hour probe, arranged to feel an hour snail, or another feeler arranged on a rack piece and arranged for palpating for example a snail quarters.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront dans la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation préféré, présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue en plan montrant le dispositif isolateur de surprise selon l'invention et les éléments auxquels il est associé dans le mécanisme de sonnerie d'une montre à grande sonnerie, dans une position de repos de ce mécanisme;
- la figure 2 représente les éléments de la figure 1 dans une position où la commande de sonnerie vient d'être actionnée, et
- la figure 3 représente les mêmes éléments que la figure 1, à une échelle agrandie.
- Figure 1 is a plan view showing the surprise isolating device according to the invention and the elements with which it is associated in the striking mechanism of a watch with large striking, in a rest position of this mechanism;
- FIG. 2 represents the elements of FIG. 1 in a position where the bell control has just been actuated, and
- Figure 3 shows the same elements as Figure 1, on an enlarged scale.
Le mécanisme représenté dans les dessins représente un mobile de centre 1
entraíné par le mouvement d'horlogerie pour faire un tour par heure dans le sens de
la flèche A. Le mobile 1 comporte une chaussée 2, un limaçon des quarts 3 et un
limaçon des minutes 4 équipé d'une surprise 5. Chaque branche 4a, 4b, 4c et 4d du
limaçon des minutes comporte quinze échelons, dont le premier 6a, situé le plus à
l'extérieur et correspondant à la première minute d'un quart d'heure, est plus étroit
que les autres. La surprise a pour fonction de prolonger cet échelon lorsqu'elle est
dans sa position active 5a représentée en traits interrompus dans la figure 1. La
position de la surprise 5 dessinée en traits continus est sa position escamotée. Elle
est maintenue par un ressort de rappel (non représenté) s'appuyant sur le limaçon 4.The mechanism represented in the drawings represents a mobile of
Un sautoir de surprise 8 est formé par un levier monté de manière pivotante en
9 et sollicité par un ressort 10 qui s'appuie contre une goupille 11 du sautoir 8 pour le
pousser en direction de la surprise 5, le sautoir ayant un bec 12 en V qui présente un
plan incliné 13 servant à faire pivoter la surprise 5 dans le sens de la flèche A contre
la force du ressort de rappel susmentionné. Une butée fixe 15 retient le sautoir 8
quand il est avancé sans pouvoir s'appuyer contre la surprise.A
Un limaçon des heures 16, formant une came à douze échelons 17, est fixé
par une vis 18 à une étoile 19 qui est entraínée pas à pas par le mouvement
d'horlogerie de façon à effectuer un tour en douze heures. Un sautoir 20 sollicité par
un ressort 21 maintient l'étoile 19 dans chacune de ses douze positions.A 16 hour snail, forming a twelve-
Une pièce à crémaillère 22 est montée de manière pivotante en 23 et
comporte une goupille 24 contre laquelle s'appuie un ressort 25 qui tend à faire
pivoter la pièce 22 dans le sens de la flèche B. Un bras de la pièce 22 constitue un
palpeur des heures 26 dont l'extrémité 27 va buter contre l'un des échelons 17 du
limaçon des heures 16 lorsque la pièce 22 pivote dans le sens de la flèche B. La
pièce 22 comporte en outre une crémaillère 28 en arc de cercle, centrée en 23 et
s'engrenant sur un pignon de crémaillère 29 monté de manière librement rotative sur
un mobile de centre de sonnerie 30 pourvu d'un plateau d'entraínement 31. Le mobile
de centre de sonnerie 30 comporte un pignon (non représenté) qui est en prise avec
un barillet de sonnerie tendant à le faire tourner dans le sens de la flèche C. Le
pignon de crémaillère 29 fait partie d'un mobile appelé tourelle, qui est rotatif autour
du mobile 30 et comporte en outre un rochet à dents de loup 33 et un rochet des
heures 34 destiné à actionner le marteau des heures (non représenté). Le plateau 31
porte un crochet 36 sollicité par un ressort 37 pour s'accrocher aux dents de loup du
rochet 33 afin d'empêcher que la tourelle comprenant le pignon 29 ne tourne sous
l'effet de la crémaillère 28 et du ressort 25.A
La commande de sonnerie ne sera pas décrite en détail ici. Il suffit de
mentionner que pour mettre en action le mécanisme qui vient d'être décrit, elle
comporte une roue dentée 40 montée sous le plateau 31 de façon à pouvoir pivoter
dans une mesure limitée par rapport à celui-ci, la roue 40 ayant une goupille de
commande 41 qui peut s'appuyer contre un pan incliné 42 du crochet 36 pour
dégager celui-ci des dents du rochet 33.The ringing control will not be described in detail here. Simply
mention that to activate the mechanism that has just been described, it
comprises a toothed wheel 40 mounted under the
Dans la position de repos illustrée par les figures 1 et 3, le mobile de centre 1
tourne avec l'aiguille des minutes de la montre, tandis que l'étoile des heures 19
avance d'un pas par heure. Toutes les autres pièces représentées restent immobiles
tant que la commande de sonnerie n'est pas actionnée, car le mobile de centre de
sonnerie 30 est alors bloqué par la pièce des minutes (non représentée), qui bloque
en fin de course le rouage de sonnerie.In the rest position illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, the center mobile 1
turns with the minute hand of the watch, while the
Le crochet 36 immobilise la tourelle formée par les éléments 29, 33 et 34, ce
qui retient la pièce à crémaillère 22 à l'encontre de la force du ressort 25. Dans cette
position de repos, une goupille 44, disposée en saillie sur le palpeur des heures 26 qui
croise le sautoir de surprise 8, s'appuie contre un bord 45 du sautoir 8 et maintient
celui-ci à l'écart de la trajectoire 46 des extrémités des bras de la surprise 5. Ainsi, le
palpeur 26 et sa goupille 44 constituent un dispositif isolateur de surprise 47.The
Lorsque la commande de sonnerie est actionnée, la roue dentée 40 tourne de
quelques degrés dans le sens de la flèche C par rapport au plateau d'entraínement
31, de sorte que sa goupille 41 soulève le crochet 36 et libère la tourelle comprenant
les éléments 29, 33 et 34. Cette tourelle est alors entraínée en rotation par la pièce à
crémaillère 22 pivotant sous l'action du ressort 25. Dès le début de ce pivotement, la
goupille 44 laisse le sautoir de surprise 8 pivoter en direction du mobile de centre 1. Si
à ce moment-là l'une des branches 4a à 4d du limaçon des minutes 4 se trouve à
proximité d'un des pans inclinés 12 et 13 du bec du sautoir 8, ce pan s'appuie contre
la branche correspondante de la surprise 5 et met celle-ci dans la position appropriée,
de manière connue. La pièce à crémaillère 22 continue de pivoter jusqu'à ce que
l'extrémité 27 de son palpeur 26 bute contre le limaçon des heures 16, ce qui arrête
l'action du rochet des heures 34. Ensuite, le mécanisme représenté est ramené à la
position de repos de la figure 1 par l'action du barillet de sonnerie entraínant le mobile
de centre de sonnerie 30. La goupille 44 de l'isolateur de surprise 47 soulève de
nouveau le sautoir de surprise 8 et le tiendra à l'écart de la surprise 5 tant que la
commande de sonnerie ne sera pas actionnée à nouveau.When the ringing control is actuated, the toothed wheel 40 rotates
a few degrees in the direction of arrow C relative to the
La description qui précède montre que la présente invention permet de réaliser
un dispositif isolateur de surprise sans aucune pièce mobile supplémentaire,
simplement grâce à l'adjonction d'un élément saillant 44 sur une partie de la pièce à
crémaillère 22 qui se déplace au voisinage d'un bord du sautoir de surprise 8. On
notera que cet élément saillant n'est pas nécessairement disposé sur le palpeur des
heures 26, mais pourrait se trouver sur un autre bras de la pièce 22 et présenter toute
autre configuration apte à coopérer avec le sautoir 8, par exemple sous la forme d'un
crochet ou d'un rebord plié à angle droit.The above description shows that the present invention makes it possible to achieve
a surprise isolator without any additional moving parts,
simply by the addition of a projecting
Bien que l'exemple décrit ci-dessus se rapporte au cas d'une surprise associée au limaçon des minutes, il faut rappeler qu'un dispositif isolateur de surprise selon l'invention peut aussi bien coopérer avec une surprise associée à un autre limaçon, notamment un limaçon des quarts ou des cinq minutes.Although the example described above relates to the case of an associated surprise to the snail of the minutes, it should be remembered that a surprise isolating device according the invention can also cooperate with a surprise associated with another snail, especially a quarter or five minute snail.
L'invention est utilisable dans toute pièce d'horlogerie pourvue d'une sonnerie, notamment une montre à répétition minutes ou à grande sonnerie.The invention can be used in any timepiece provided with a ring, in particular a minute repeater watch or a large ring.
