Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Uhr, insbesondere eine Armbanduhr, mit einem Gehäuse 1, dessen Gehäuseinnenraum 2 beobachterseitig eine durch ein Deckglas verschlossene Öffnung und bodenseitig eine Schallöffnung 3 besitz, die durch eine Membran 10 verschlossen ist. Die Membran 10 ist mit ihrem radial umlaufenden Randbereich dicht an einer entsprechenden Ringfläche 4 des Gehäuses 1 in Anlage. In dem Gehäuseinnenraum 2 ist ein Schwingungserzeuger angeordnet, durch den Tonschwingungen erzeugbar sind. Der radial umlaufende Rand der Membran 10 ist von einer Zugeinrichtung radial nach außen zugbelastbar.

The invention relates to a watch, in particular a wristwatch, with a housing 1, the housing interior 2 observer having a closed by a cover glass opening and the bottom side a sound opening 3, which is closed by a membrane 10. The membrane 10 is with its radially peripheral edge region close to a corresponding annular surface 4 of the housing 1 in Appendix. In the housing interior 2, a vibration generator is arranged, can be generated by the sound vibrations. The radially encircling edge of the membrane 10 can be tensioned radially outwards by a pulling device.
