Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mechanical watchmaking. It relates, more particularly, a striking mechanism comprising a barrel provided with a shaft for its winding by a conventional winding and rakes to be driven by the barrel to ring the current time.
  • This mechanism comprises an automatic triggering system and a manual triggering system with a control member operable by the wearer.
  • Such a mechanism has its own power source and has a winding system independent of the engagement of the ring.
  • the barrel can be armed by the carrier, by means of a conventional manual winding system mainly comprising a winding stem cooperating with the barrel shaft.
  • the striking barrel can also be automatically armed, by means of a conventional automatic winding system mainly comprising an oscillating mass cooperating with the barrel shaft.
  • Document is also known US 4.33,225 , a mechanism in which the ringer barrel is armed by the trigger lever of the ringer. The lever comprises a pawl cooperating with the ratchet of the barrel to adjust the tension of the ringing spring.
  • This barrel provides the energy required for the ringtones, whether triggered on demand or in transit, the barrel being released respectively manually or automatically.
  • some parts include an indicator especially dedicated to display this information. Although providing a certain comfort to the wearer, this display does not solve the problem of additional energy consumption of the barrel of ringing engendered a manually triggered ring.
  • the present invention aims to solve this problem by proposing a large bell mechanism in which the manual triggers are not detrimental to the power reserve of the barrel ring.
  • a train connected kinematically to the barrel shaft is driven by the control member.
  • the clutch system is a locking system interposed between the gear train and the barrel shaft.
  • control member comprises an independent return system of the barrel.
  • the barrel 14 can be reassembled by a conventional winding system represented on the figure 2 and actuated by a winding stem 20 intended to be housed in the middle of the box in which the movement takes place.
  • the watch case was not shown in the drawing.
  • the winding stem 20 can occupy a first pushed position, generally allowing time setting and in which it does not interact with the barrel and a second drawn position in which it is kinematically connected with the barrel shaft 14b.
  • This kinematic connection between the winding stem 20 and the barrel shaft 14b is via a gear train 26 ending in a square ratchet on the barrel shaft, at a first end thereof.
  • a pawl 28 prevents the spring to unwind by the shaft 14b, thereby forcing the stored energy out through the drum 14a of the barrel.
  • an automatic winding system can be used to wind the barrel.
  • a control member typically a bolt 30 moving together with a rack 32, like a conventional minute repeater.
  • the bolt 30 and the rack 32 form a single piece, but they could as well be separated, the bolt 30 pushing the rack 32 when moved.
  • the rack 32 meshes with the barrel shaft 14b by means of a clutch system, so that the rack 32 and the shaft 14b are kinematically connected during the movement of the rack 32 in a first direction , but these elements are kinematically independent when moving the rack 32 in the second direction, or when pivoting the shaft 14b in this second direction.
  • This latching system may be formed of a ring 34 coaxial with the barrel 14, provided with an external toothing 34a and an inner toothing 34b of wolf teeth type.
  • This ring 34 is connected to the barrel shaft 14b by a radial spring 36 having a hub 36a mounted squarely on the shaft 14b, at its second end and typically two elastic blades 36b, exerting a radial pressure towards the outside of the ring and ending with a toothed portion cooperating with the internal toothing 34b.
  • a single elastic blade of sufficient length may also be suitable. However, the use of multiple blades can share the torque between the different teeth.
  • the ring can be guided in rotation by means of a plate, not shown, driven into a recess that includes the upper part or the lower part of the ring. The plate is pivoted on the axis of the barrel to provide the guiding function.
  • the toothed portions of the resilient blades 36b are arranged to cooperate with the wolf teeth of the internal toothing 34b so that the pivoting of the ring generated by the triggering of the ring by means of the bolt 30 drives the barrel shaft 14b in rotation.
  • neither the pivoting of the barrel shaft 14b in the other direction, for example during the disassembly of the movement, nor the driving of the shaft 14b during the normal manual or automatic winding of the barrel 14 causes moving the bolt 36.
  • the external toothing 34b of the ring 34 transmits the movement of the bolt 30 to a wheel 38 with which it meshes.
  • This wheel 38 is provided with a return system, for example a spiral spring 40, allowing the return of the bolt 30 to its rest position since it can not be provided by the barrel shaft, as it is the case in classical minute repetitions.
  • the shaft 14b and the rack 32 are also kinematically independent of one another.
  • the wheel 38 also carries an arm 42 mounted on its axis and ending with a bearing zone intended to cooperate with a control member to trigger the bell.
  • This control member may be a driving wheel of a camshaft, as in the application EP 1925995 already mentioned.
  • This control member can also be a rocker releasing a pawl in a conventional mechanism.
  • the position of the arm 42 relative to the wheel can be adjusted simply during its assembly so that the ringing is triggered only if the bolt has been moved enough to to charge the barrel with a quantity of energy at least substantially equal to that consumed by the course of the ringing. It is therefore possible to reset the barrel without triggering the ring, which offers an alternative for the winding of the barrel.
  • the person skilled in the art could, of course, arrange this arm 42 on a wheel other than that proposed, the chosen wheel simply having to be kinematically connected to the control member when it is actuated to engage the buzzer.
  • a ringing mechanism which combines certain interests of a great bell, namely to be able to ring the hours in passing, and a rack-and-pinion minute repeater, namely not to be dependent on the state of the art.
  • charging a ringer barrel to sound the ring The presence of the clutch device makes it possible for the control device for manually triggering the ringer not to be influenced by the running of the ringtones when passing or by the winding of the ringer barrel, a problem which obviously does not arise in the case of a conventional minute repetition.
