Description
L'invention concerne un mécanisme de sonnerie muni d'un agencement isolateur de bruit d'un timbre pour une montre. Le mécanisme de sonnerie comprend de manière générale au moins un timbre fixé à une extrémité à un porte-timbre solidaire d'une platine, et au moins un marteau monté sur la platine pour frapper le timbre dans des périodes de sonnerie désirées. L'agencement isolateur de bruit du timbre est configuré pour éviter tout tintement involontaire du timbre dans un mode de repos notamment suite à un choc contre des composants voisins dans le boîtier de la montre.The invention relates to a striking mechanism provided with a noise isolator arrangement of a stamp for a watch. The striking mechanism generally comprises at least one stamp attached at one end to a stamp holder integral with a platen, and at least one hammer mounted on the platen to strike the stamp in desired ringing periods. The sound isolator arrangement of the patch is configured to prevent any unintended tingling of the tone in a rest mode, in particular following a shock against adjacent components in the watch case.
Dans le domaine de l'horlogerie, une architecture traditionnelle est utilisée pour réaliser des mouvements, qui sont munis de mécanismes de sonnerie, tels que des répétitions minutes. Dans ces réalisations, le ou les timbres utilisés sont constitués chacun par un fil métallique généralement de forme circulaire. Ce fil métallique de chaque timbre est placé dans un plan parallèle au cadran de la montre et à la platine sur laquelle il est monté. Le fil métallique peut être normalement disposé autour d'un mouvement dans la cage de la montre. Une extrémité de chaque timbre est fixée, par exemple par brasure, à un porte-timbre solidaire de la platine, qui peut être unique pour tous les timbres. L'autre extrémité de chaque timbre peut être généralement libre.In the field of watchmaking, a traditional architecture is used to perform movements, which are provided with striking mechanisms, such as minute repetitions. In these embodiments, the stamp or stamps used are each constituted by a metal wire generally of circular shape. This wire of each stamp is placed in a plane parallel to the dial of the watch and the plate on which it is mounted. The wire may normally be arranged around a movement in the watch cage. One end of each stamp is fixed, for example by solder, to a stamp holder integral with the plate, which may be unique for all stamps. The other end of each stamp may be generally free.
Le mécanisme de sonnerie de la montre comprend un marteau actionné à des moments prédéterminés. La vibration du timbre est produite par l'impact du marteau sur le timbre à proximité du porte-timbre. Le marteau effectue en général une rotation partielle dans le plan du timbre de façon à faire vibrer le timbre dans son plan. Une partie de la vibration du timbre est transmise à la platine par la torsion du porte-timbre. La platine vibre alors dans un plan parallèle au plan du timbre.The striking mechanism of the watch includes a hammer actuated at predetermined times. The vibration of the stamp is produced by the impact of the hammer on the stamp near the stamp holder. The hammer usually makes a partial rotation in the plane of the stamp so as to vibrate the stamp in its plane. Part of the vibration of the stamp is transmitted to the plate by the twist of the stamp holder. The stage then vibrates in a plane parallel to the plane of the timbre.
Selon la forme et la dimension du ou des timbres utilisés dans un mécanisme de sonnerie, il peut survenir un tintement involontaire du ou des timbres dans un mode de repos contre des pièces métalliques voisines suite à un mouvement brusque de la montre. Plus le timbre possède une grande longueur, tel qu'un timbre du type cathédrale comprenant au moins deux enroulements autour du mouvement de la montre, et plus le problème de tintement involontaire ou résonance accidentelle peut survenir. Ceci constitue un inconvénient pour une montre de luxe équipée d'un tel mécanisme de sonnerie.Depending on the shape and size of the stamp (s) used in a striking mechanism, there may be an unintended tingling of the stamp (s) in a mode of rest against neighboring metal parts following a sudden movement of the watch. The longer the tone is, such as a cathedral type stamp comprising at least two windings around the movement of the watch, and the more the problem of accidental tingling or accidental resonance may occur. This is a disadvantage for a luxury watch equipped with such a striking mechanism.
Pour résoudre ce problème, il est déjà connu d'utiliser un ou plusieurs isolateurs de bruit d'un ou plusieurs timbres d'un mécanisme de sonnerie, comme décrit dans la demande de brevet
Il est également connu de l'état de la technique par les brevets
L'invention a donc pour but de pallier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique en fournissant un mécanisme de sonnerie d'un timbre muni d'un agencement isolateur de bruit du timbre, qui soit facile à mettre en oeuvre tout en laissant le timbre vibrer librement dans un mode de sonnerie, et en préservant tout l'esthétisme dudit mécanisme de sonnerie.The invention therefore aims to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art by providing a striking mechanism of a stamp provided with a sound isolator arrangement of the stamp, which is easy to implement while allowing the tone to vibrate freely in a ringing mode, and preserving all the aesthetics of said striking mechanism.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un mécanisme de sonnerie d'une montre cité ci-devant, qui comprend les caractéristiques définies dans la revendication indépendante 1.To this end, the invention relates to a striking mechanism of a watch cited above, which comprises the features defined in the
Des formes d'exécution particulières du mécanisme de sonnerie sont définies dans les revendications dépendantes 2 à 15.Particular embodiments of the striking mechanism are defined in
Un avantage du mécanisme de sonnerie muni de l'agencement isolateur de bruit du timbre réside dans le fait qu'au moins une pièce isolatrice peut être déplacée par un moyen d'entraînement afin d'occuper une position à proximité du timbre dans un mode de repos ou une position à distance du timbre dans un mode de sonnerie. De préférence, la pièce isolatrice est montée rotative sur une platine du mécanisme de sonnerie en étant entraînée par le moyen d'entraînement. Cette pièce isolatrice comprend de préférence au moins un secteur en forme de U pour venir en contact direct d'une partie intermédiaire du timbre dans un mode de repos.An advantage of the striking mechanism provided with the sound insulator arrangement of the patch is that at least one insulator piece can be moved by a drive means to occupy a position near the patch in a rest or remote position of the stamp in a ring mode. Preferably, the insulator piece is rotatably mounted on a plate of the striking mechanism being driven by the drive means. This insulating piece preferably comprises at least one U-shaped sector for coming into direct contact with an intermediate portion of the patch in a rest mode.
Avantageusement, l'agencement isolateur de bruit du timbre comprend également une contre-pièce isolatrice pour former avec la pièce isolatrice une pince afin d'emprisonner une partie intermédiaire du timbre dans un mode de repos. En emprisonnant le timbre par la pince à sa partie intermédiaire, cela limite la longueur libre dudit timbre et ainsi sa flexibilité. Ceci permet d'éviter toute résonance accidentelle lors d'un mouvement brusque de la montre dans un mode de repos du mécanisme de sonnerie.Advantageously, the noise isolator arrangement of the stamp also comprises an isolator counterpart for forming with the insulator part a clamp for trapping an intermediate portion of the stamp in a rest mode. By trapping the stamp by the clamp at its intermediate portion, this limits the free length of said stamp and thus its flexibility. This makes it possible to avoid any accidental resonance during a sudden movement of the watch in a rest mode of the striking mechanism.
Avantageusement, la pièce isolatrice comprend un nombre de secteurs en forme de U correspondant au nombre de timbres du mécanisme de sonnerie ou au nombre d'enroulements du timbre, afin que chaque secteur en forme de U vienne en contact du timbre correspondant dans un mode de repos. Une tige de la contre-pièce vient en contact de tous les timbres directement en regard de l'ensemble des secteurs en forme de U ouverts vers l'extérieur de la pièce isolatrice. Au moins les parties en contact des timbres de la pièce isolatrice et de la contre-pièce sont réalisées dans un matériau plastique élastiquement déformable afin de servir d'isolation du bruit du ou des timbres.Advantageously, the insulator part comprises a number of U-shaped sectors corresponding to the number of timbres of the striking mechanism or to the number of windings of the stamp, so that each U-shaped sector comes into contact with the corresponding stamp in a mode of rest. A rod of the counter-piece comes into contact with all the stamps directly opposite the set of U-shaped sectors open towards the outside of the insulator piece. At least the parts in contact with the stamps of the insulator part and the counterpart are made of an elastically deformable plastic material to serve as insulation of the noise of the stamp or stamps.

Dans la description suivante, toutes les parties du mécanisme de sonnerie d'une montre, qui sont bien connues dans ce domaine technique, ne seront décrites que sommairement.In the following description, all parts of the striking mechanism of a watch, which are well known in this technical field, will be described only briefly.
Les
Le mécanisme de sonnerie 1 comprend dans cette forme d'exécution trois timbres 3, 4 et 5. Chacun de ces timbres 3, 4 et 5 est relié par une de ses extrémités à un porte-timbre 2, qui est solidaire d'une platine non représentée. Cette platine se trouve normalement en dessous des éléments représentés à la
Les timbres peuvent définir une portion de cercle, comme représenté à la
Comme ce mécanisme de sonnerie comprend trois timbres réalisés dans un matériau métallique, tel qu'un métal précieux ou en acier ou en verre métallique, et de forme adaptée pour la production chacun d'un son déterminé, il est prévu trois marteaux 13, 14 et 15 montés rotatifs sur la platine. Le premier marteau 13 est destiné à venir frapper le premier timbre 3 normalement à proximité du porte-timbre 2. Le second marteau 14 est destiné à venir frapper le second timbre 4, alors que le troisième marteau 15 est destiné à venir frapper le troisième timbre 5. Dans un mode de repos, les marteaux sont maintenus par un élément ressort non représenté à distance de chaque timbre.As this striking mechanism comprises three stamps made of a metallic material, such as a precious metal or steel or metal glass, and of suitable form for the production each of a certain sound, there are three
Le mécanisme de sonnerie 1 comprend également un agencement isolateur du bruit des timbres, qui est entraîné par un moyen d'entraînement, qui comprend généralement un ensemble de leviers ou bascules 10, 11, 12, 26 expliqués ci-après. L'agencement isolateur du bruit des timbres comprend principalement une pièce isolatrice 6, qui est montée rotative sur la platine. De préférence, la rotation de cette pièce isolatrice se fait selon un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à la platine, mais il pourrait également être envisagé que l'axe de rotation ne soit pas perpendiculaire au plan de la platine. Une partie 16 de cette pièce isolatrice 6 est destinée à être disposée à proximité des timbres dans un mode de repos comme montré aux
L'agencement isolateur du bruit des timbres comprend également une contre-pièce isolatrice 7, qui est également montée rotative à proximité de la pièce isolatrice de manière à constituer avec ladite pièce une pince pour emprisonner les timbres dans un mode de repos. L'axe de rotation de cette contre-pièce est de préférence perpendiculaire au plan de la platine, mais peut également comme la pièce isolatrice ne pas être disposé perpendiculairement à la platine selon une forme d'exécution non représentée. Les axes de rotation de la contre-pièce isolatrice 7 et de la pièce isolatrice 6 sont situés du côté intérieur des timbres. Cette contre-pièce comprend une tige 17 pour être disposée à proximité des timbres 3, 4 et 5 dans un mode de repos et de préférence en contact direct avec lesdits timbres pour les emprisonner avec la pièce isolatrice 6 sur une partie intermédiaire de chaque timbre. La tige 17 de la contre-pièce vient en contact d'un côté extérieur des timbres. Par contre, la partie munie de secteurs en forme de U 16 de la pièce isolatrice 6, en regard de ladite tige 17 de la contre-pièce 7, vient en contact d'un côté intérieur de chaque timbre dans le mode de repos.The isolator arrangement of the sound of the stamps also comprises an isolating
La contre-pièce 7 comprend également un bras au bout duquel est disposé un doigt 19 comme montré de manière plus détaillée à la
La contre-pièce isolatrice 7 et la pièce isolatrice 6 sont entraînées en rotation sur un court trajet par un moyen d'entraînement. Pour ce faire, la pièce isolatrice 6 comprend encore une seconde came 9 disposée d'un côté opposé à la première came 8 selon l'axe de rotation de la pièce 6 comme montré à la
Il est à noter pour que le premier levier 12 reste en contact de la seconde came 9, il est prévu un ressort de rappel, non représenté, agissant dans le sens anti-horaire du mécanisme de sonnerie présenté à la
L'agencement isolateur de bruit des timbres 3, 4 et 5 comprend encore un élément isolateur 24 monté rotatif sur la platine et disposé de manière diamétralement opposée à la pièce isolatrice 6 et la contre-pièce isolatrice 7. Cet élément isolateur 24 est entraîné en rotation également par le râteau des minutes 10. Un ergot 27 du râteau des minutes entraîne dans un sens anti-horaire, un bras d'une roue dentée 26, qui est montée rotative également sur la platine à l'encontre d'un ressort de rappel. Cette roue dentée engrène directement avec un secteur denté 25 disposé sur l'axe de rotation de l'élément isolateur 24.The sound isolating arrangement of the
Dans le mode de repos, le râteau des minutes 10 impose à l'élément isolateur 24 de venir en contact d'une partie d'extrémité du timbre 4, qui est situé entre les deux autres timbres 3 et 5. Cet élément isolateur pousse un peu vers l'extérieur l'extrémité du timbre intermédiaire 4. La partie en contact de l'élément isolateur peut également être un secteur en forme de U pour épouser une surface extérieure du timbre intermédiaire 4. Cet élément isolateur 24 permet d'éviter que l'extrémité de ce timbre intermédiaire 4 vienne en contact de l'un ou l'autre timbre 3 et 5 lors d'un mouvement brusque de la montre. Bien entendu, il suffit que la partie du secteur en forme de U de cet élément isolateur soit réalisée dans un matériau plastique déformable élastiquement comme pour la partie 16 en contact de la pièce isolatrice 6 et la tige 17 de la contre-pièce isolatrice 7.In the idle mode, the

Grâce à l'agencement isolateur du bruit des timbres décrit ci-dessus, cela permet d'éviter lors de tout mouvement brusque de la montre, qui comprend un tel mécanisme de sonnerie 1, que chaque timbre vienne involontairement en contact de composants métalliques de la montre, ainsi que du boîtier généralement métallique et produise un tintement non désiré.Thanks to the isolator arrangement of the noise of the stamps described above, it avoids during any sudden movement of the watch, which includes such a
A partir de la description qui vient d'être faite, plusieurs variantes de réalisation du mécanisme de sonnerie muni d'un agencement isolateur du bruit d'un ou plusieurs timbres peuvent être conçues par l'homme du métier sans sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications. Il peut être prévu plusieurs pinces réparties le long du ou des timbres pour les emprisonner et les isoler des éléments métalliques voisins. Un ou plusieurs timbres peuvent comprendre plusieurs enroulements superposés autour du mouvement de montre et être fixés chacun à un porte-timbre différent. La pièce isolatrice, ainsi que la contre-pièce isolatrice peuvent être déplacées par le moyen d'entraînement selon un mouvement de translation dans le mode de repos et dans le mode de sonnerie.From the description that has just been given, several embodiments of the striking mechanism provided with an isolator arrangement of the sound of one or more stamps can be designed by the skilled person without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims. It can be provided several clips distributed along the stamp or stamps to imprison and isolate neighboring metal elements. One or more stamps may include a plurality of windings superimposed around the watch movement and each be attached to a different stamp holder. The insulator piece and the counter-isolator part can be moved by the drive means in a translation movement in the rest mode and in the ring mode.
