Abstract

The gong (1) has an end comprising a fixation element (1a) for fixing the end to a frame of a timepiece, where the gong is in the form of a bended blade having 0.2 millimeter thickness. A free part of the blade is conformed so that its natural vibration frequency is located in field of sound consecutive to a percussion exerted on a section of the free part. The fixation element and the blade constitute a single piece with uniform thickness.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un timbre pour mécanisme de sonnerie de pièce d'horlogerie.The present invention relates to a stamp for a timepiece striking mechanism.

Les timbres utilisés dans de tels mécanismes sont réalisés à partir de fil métallique cintré qui s'étend sur tout le pourtour de la pièce d'horlogerie.The stamps used in such mechanisms are made from bent wire which extends around the entire circumference of the timepiece.

Les mécanismes de sonnerie comportent au minimum deux timbres pour avoir deux sons différents, pour sonner les heures, les quarts et dans les répétitions minutes, les minutes. Le diamètre du fil métallique doit présenter une rigidité suffisante pour que sa fréquence propre se situe dans le domaine des fréquences sonores et pour qu'il présente une tenue mécanique suffisante pour que la boucle qu'il forme reste pratiquement dans un plan lorsque cette boucle est orientée perpendiculairement à la gravitation terrestre. C'est la raison pour laquelle les diamètres des fils utilisés dans les montres sont de l'ordre du millimètre. L'encombrement en hauteur de deux timbres de ce type, dans une montre bracelet, avec un espace de sécurité entre eux et avec les parties fixes adjacentes de la montre, pour éviter d'interférer avec leur vibration à leur fréquence propre, pose un problème difficile à résoudre notamment dans le cas d'une montre bracelet.The striking mechanisms include at least two timbres to have two different sounds, to ring the hours, the quarters and in the repetitions minutes, minutes. The diameter of the wire must have a sufficient rigidity so that its natural frequency is in the range of the sound frequencies and that it has sufficient mechanical strength so that the loop that it forms remains practically in a plane when this loop is oriented perpendicular to earth gravitation. This is the reason why the diameters of the threads used in the watches are of the order of a millimeter. The height requirement of two stamps of this type, in a wristwatch, with a space of security between them and with the adjacent fixed parts of the watch, to avoid interfering with their vibration at their own frequency, poses a problem difficult to solve especially in the case of a wristwatch.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier, au moins en partie, à cet inconvénient.The object of the present invention is to remedy, at least in part, this disadvantage.

A cet effet, cette invention se rapporte à un timbre pour mécanisme de sonnerie de pièce d'horlogerie selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, this invention relates to a timbre for a timepiece striking mechanism according to claim 1.

Le gain d'épaisseur qui peut être obtenu grâce à cette solution est considérable puisque l'épaisseur du timbre est de l'ordre de seulement 20% par rapport aux timbres formés à partir d'un fil métallique.The gain in thickness that can be obtained with this solution is considerable since the thickness of the stamp is of the order of only 20% compared to stamps formed from a wire.

De préférence la lame et sa fixation constituent une même pièce, d'épaisseur uniforme.Preferably the blade and its attachment constitute a single piece, of uniform thickness.

Cette caractéristique permet de réaliser le timbre par simple découpage d'une tôle d'épaisseur appropriée.This characteristic makes it possible to produce the stamp by simple cutting of a sheet of appropriate thickness.

Avantageusement, une zone plus étroite est ménagée entre les moyens pour la fixation de la lame et le reste de cette lame.Advantageously, a narrower zone is formed between the means for fixing the blade and the remainder of this blade.

Cette diminution de largeur entre le point d'ancrage et la lame proprement dite de largeur constant permet de diminuer la rigidité dans le plan de cette lame dans sa partie adjacente à la fixation de cette lame et d'ajuster la fréquence propre de cette lame et donc la hauteur du son émis.This reduction in width between the anchor point and the blade itself of constant width makes it possible to reduce the rigidity in the plane of this blade in its part adjacent to the attachment of this blade and to adjust the natural frequency of this blade and so the pitch of the sound emitted.

D'autres particularités de cette invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description suivante d'une forme d'exécution donnée à titre d'exemple et illustrée schématiquement par les dessins annexés.

  • La figure 1 est une vue en plan, côté cadran, du mouvement d'une pièce d'horlogerie avec mécanisme de sonnerie muni d'un timbre objet de l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective du timbre seul avec le marteau pour le mettre en vibration.
Other features of this invention will appear on reading the following description of an embodiment given by way of example and diagrammatically illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view, on the dial side, of the movement of a timepiece with striking mechanism provided with a stamp object of the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the stamp alone with the hammer to put it in vibration.

La figure 1 ne sert qu'à montrer la disposition du timbre 1 sur la pièce d'horlogerie avec mécanisme de sonnerie 2. Etant donné que ce timbre 1 n'est pas spécifique à un mécanisme de sonnerie d'un type particulier, mais est utilisable avec n'importe quel mécanisme de sonnerie, il n'est pas nécessaire de décrire ce mécanisme pour permettre à l'homme du métier de comprendre l'invention et les avantages qui en découlent.FIG. 1 only serves to show the disposition of the stamp 1 on the timepiece with striking mechanism 2. Since this stamp 1 is not specific to a striking mechanism of a particular type, but is usable with any striking mechanism, it is not necessary to describe this mechanism to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and the advantages thereof.

Il suffit de préciser que le timbre 1 objet de l'invention est destiné à être mis en vibration, comme habituellement dans ce type de mécanisme par un marteau 3 maintenu en position de repos légèrement écarté du timbre 1 par deux ressorts antagonistes 4 et 5, comme illustré par la figure 1. Lorsque le marteau 3 est écarté de sa position de repos par le mécanisme classique de levée (non représenté) actionné par une denture à rochet du râteau de sonnerie entraîné par le rouage de sonnerie (non représenté), le marteau 3 est écarté dans un premier temps de sa position de repos illustrée par la figure 1, en tournant d'un certain angle dans le sens inverse à celui des aiguilles d'une montre, armant ainsi le ressort 5. Dès que le marteau se libère de la levée, le ressort 5 se détend en faisant tourner le marteau dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre jusqu'à ce qu'il percute la tranche du timbre 1, après quoi, il est immédiatement ramené dans sa position de repos par le ressort de rappel 4 pour permettre au timbre de vibrer librement à sa fréquence propre sonore.It is sufficient to specify that the stamp 1 object of the invention is intended to be vibrated, as usually in this type of mechanism by a hammer 3 maintained in the rest position slightly separated from the stamp 1 by two counter-springs 4 and 5, as illustrated in FIG. 1. When the hammer 3 is moved away from its rest position by the conventional lifting mechanism (not shown) actuated by ratchet toothing of the rake of ringing driven by the ring gear (not shown), the hammer 3 is initially removed from its rest position shown in Figure 1, turning a certain angle in the opposite direction to that of the clockwise, thereby arming the spring 5 As soon as the hammer is released from the lift, the spring 5 relaxes by rotating the hammer clockwise until it hits the edge of the patch 1, after which it is immediately returned to its rest position by the return spring 4 to allow the tone to vibrate freely at its own sound frequency.

Ceci est un simple rappel du fonctionnement du marteau 3, bien que ce fonctionnement est de type standard bien connu de l'homme de l'art et qu'il ne fasse pas partie de l'invention.This is a simple reminder of the operation of the hammer 3, although this operation is standard type well known to those skilled in the art and is not part of the invention.

Le timbre 1 objet de l'invention, contre lequel frappe le marteau 3, présente une forme de lame cintrée destinée à épouser sensiblement la forme d'un peu moins de la moitié du pourtour de la pièce d'horlogerie 2. A une extrémité, cette lame cintrée forme un coude après lequel les deux bords de la lame sont droits et se rapprochent progressivement l'un de l'autre pour ménager une partie progressivement plus étroite. Ensuite les bords de la lame s'écartent brusquement l'un de l'autre en formant un angle de 180° entre eux, constituant l'un des côtés d'un élément de fixation 1a en forme de triangle isocèle à angles arrondis. Cet élément de fixation 1a présente trois ouvertures 1b adjacentes aux sommets respectifs du triangle (figure 2) pour permettre sa fixation par des vis 6 (figure 1).The stamp 1 object of the invention, against which strikes the hammer 3, has a curved blade shape intended to fit substantially the shape of a little less than half of the periphery of the timepiece 2. At one end, this curved blade forms a bend after which the two edges of the blade are straight and are gradually approaching one another to provide a progressively narrower part. Then the edges of the blade abruptly separate from each other at an angle of 180 ° between them, constituting one of the sides of a fastening element 1a isosceles triangle with rounded corners. This fastener 1a has three openings 1b adjacent to the respective vertices of the triangle (Figure 2) to allow its attachment by screws 6 (Figure 1).

La portion plus étroite de la lame 1 dans laquelle ses deux bords sont droits et se rapprochent l'un de l'autre sert à ajuster la fréquence propre de cette lame en ajustant sa largeur, par exemple à la lime et constitue aussi la partie le long de laquelle le marteau 3 frappe la lame pour la mettre en vibration. Comme on peut le constater, la direction de frappe du marteau 3 se situe dans le plan de la lame 1, en sorte que le marteau 3 frappe contre la tranche de la lame 1, faisant ainsi vibrer la lame 1 dans le sens de sa section où elle est la plus rigide.The narrower portion of the blade 1 in which its two edges are straight and move towards each other serves to adjust the natural frequency of this blade by adjusting its width, for example to the file and also constitutes the part of the blade. along which the hammer 3 hits the blade to put it in vibration. As can be seen, the striking direction of the hammer 3 is in the plane of the blade 1, so that the hammer 3 hits against the edge of the blade 1, thereby vibrating the blade 1 in the direction of its section where she is the most rigid.

A titre d'exemple, l'épaisseur de cette lame, dans le cas où le timbre 1 est destiné à équiper une montre bracelet est de l'ordre de 0,2 mm. A supposer que l'écartement entre deux timbres et entre ces timbres et les autres parties du mécanisme de sonnerie soit du même ordre que l'épaisseur des lames, on peut constater que la hauteur totale d'une sonnerie à deux tons ne dépasse pas 1 mm, soit du même ordre de grandeur qu'un seul timbre dans un mécanisme de sonnerie classique. Dans ce dernier cas et avec les mêmes jeux entre les timbres eux-mêmes et entre les timbres et les parties fixes que dans l'exemple susmentionné, le gain total de hauteur réalisé grâce au timbre objet de la présente invention est donc de l'ordre de 60%.For example, the thickness of this blade, in the case where the stamp 1 is intended to equip a wristwatch is of the order of 0.2 mm. Assuming that the distance between two stamps and between these stamps and the other parts of the striking mechanism is of the same order as the thickness of the blades, it can be seen that the total height of a two-tone ring does not exceed 1 mm, or the same order of magnitude as a single stamp in a conventional striking mechanism. In the latter case and with the same clearances between the timbres themselves and between the timbres and the fixed parts as in the above-mentioned example, the total height gain achieved by the stamp object of the present invention is therefore of the order 60%.

Parmi les autres avantages du timbre objet de cette invention, on peut encore mentionner la simplicité de l'accord de la lame à la fréquence propre désirée en amincissant plus ou moins la portion de la lame entre le coude et l'élément de fixation 1a. C'est ainsi qu'à partir de timbres identiques obtenus par étampage d'une tôle, on peut ajuster la fréquence propre d'une des lames pour abaisser la hauteur du ton émis par rapport à l'autre lame destinée au même mécanisme de sonnerie, permettant de distinguer les sons des timbres l'un de l'autre.Among the other advantages of the stamp object of this invention, we can also mention the simplicity of the agreement of the blade at the desired natural frequency slimming more or less the portion of the blade between the elbow and the fastener 1a. Thus, from identical stamps obtained by stamping a sheet, one can adjust the natural frequency of one of the blades to lower the pitch of the tone compared to the other blade for the same striking mechanism , allowing to distinguish the sounds of the stamps one from the other.

On peut aussi constater que la lame permet d'avoir un timbre beaucoup moins long que le timbre en forme de fil qui fait généralement tout le tour du mouvement de la montre.It can also be seen that the blade makes it possible to have a timbre much shorter than the wire-shaped stamp which generally makes all the movement of the watch.
