Definitions
- the present invention relates to an alarm device provided with a triggering and adjusting mechanism.
- the invention is particularly suitable in particular for mechanical wristwatches type watch alarm clock.
- the ringing device generally comprises a dedicated barrel, called a striking barrel, which can be reassembled by a winding stem acting on the ratchet of the barrel by means of a gear independently of the base movement.
- This barrel meshes directly with a mobile ringer, having in general a star shape, coupled to a hammer anchor carrying a hammer.
- the ringing device acts as an escape wheel and allows the hammer to strike a bell or bell with a determined force and frequency, when the bell is triggered, by the energy stored in the mainspring barrel spring and the mass of the hammer.
- the striking device generally comprises a trigger wheel, pivoting above the wheel of the hours of the basic movement. This wheel is pierced by entries, preferably circular, and preferably placed on different radii, in which lugs formed on the hour wheel, conventional, of the base movement can engage.
- the hour wheel is pressed against the trigger wheel by an element called trigger, armed by a spring; at the time provided for the bell, the three lugs of the hour wheel fall into the inputs of the trigger wheel, so that the trigger switches and can release the anchor of alarm.
- the buzzer will be active until the alarm barrel is disarmed.
- the document US3564836 describes a mechanism for triggering an alarm, which can selectively activate the ringing device on different days of the week through cooperation with a drum on which seven pins are mounted corresponding to each day of the week. The position of the pin determines whether the alarm should be activated on the corresponding day of the week. However, it is not possible to set a different alarm for each day.
- Electronic alarm mechanisms also allow you to set ringtones that are deactivated immediately after they are switched on ( US2006176779 ), so that they require reprogramming after use, or mechanisms allowing different alarm settings for each day of the week ( US2005058026 ). These mechanisms, however, do not allow adjustment for a defined day of the month, and are not applicable to fully mechanical watches.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a new actuating mechanism and a new method of setting a ringtone free from the limitations of the known prior art, and which are particularly suitable for alarm clocks watches.
- an alarm clock alarm device that can actuate a buzzer or a vibrating alarm mechanism, which can be triggered at a predetermined time, characterized in that it contains an adjusting member acting on triggering means associated with a predetermined date.
- a method for controlling an alarm clock alarm device characterized in that it comprises at least one adjustment step for determining a date, and preferably at least one distinct step engaging said alarm device.
- An advantage of the proposed solution is to couple the triggering of the ringing not only at a fixed time, but also at a predefined date, so that the alarm is not unduly repeated every day, but only activated on the corresponding day on the day of the chosen month.
- An additional advantage of the proposed solution is to be able to adjust at least thirty days in advance.
- the proposed solution allows a simple and fast adjustment, dispensing the use of any electronic part and any tedious manipulation of a setting ring to change its axial position, while remaining particularly intuitive and user-friendly thanks to the instantaneous visualization of operating modes and adjustment steps.
- the figure 1 illustrates a watch clock 101 completely mechanical, that is to say, whose housing contains no electronic component for any activation or display function.
- the clock watch 101 is provided with an alarm device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the alarm mechanism described below allows, according to this preferred embodiment, the actuation of a ringing device, but it could also actuate a vibrating alarm, that is to say not necessarily generating intrinsically a sound.
- annular scale 109 At nine o'clock on the dial is an annular scale containing inscriptions 109 "corresponding to date values.A hand 109 points to a date value chosen for the trigger 109 ', which will determine the day of actuation of the device. On the inner face of the ring formed by the annular scale 109 "is a window 108, which displays the operating mode of the alarm clock.
- the mode displayed by the icon corresponds to the D mode of deactivation of the alarm device; as will be seen later, particularly on the basis of Figures 8A and 8B showing the display disk 23 'of the modes in its entirety, the clock watch described hereinafter contains 4 distinct operating modes A, B, C and D, respectively corresponding to an engaged state A, a date adjustment mode of triggering B (visualized with the aid of the needle 109), a mode of setting the triggering time C, visualized in the counter 110 situated at 6 o'clock on the dial, and in which a 110 "ring carrying time indications related to the triggering of the alarm device, accurate according to the embodiment described in steps of a quarter of an hour, and the deactivation mode D, in which the alarm can not be started.
- time selected during the setting of the alarm is displayed in the middle of the wicket 110 ', either by a numerical value, or by half-hour or quarter-hour indications, distinct from each other, the shift indications hour being smaller than this the half-hour to allow an intuitive reading.
- Other types of display can however be envisaged as long as they allow a reading and thus easy verification of the alarm setting time 110 '.
- the scrolling through the window preferably takes place step by step, thanks to an indexing element 111 acting on the ring 110 "; those skilled in the art will understand that it is possible to adjust this step to a lower value. at the quarter of an hour, or alternatively to use a trailing display for the desired trigger time value 110 '.
- the middle part of the clock watch 101 carries two push-buttons 102 and 104.
- the push-button 104 makes it possible to correct the date values, in unit increments each time the push-button 104 is pressed.
- the correction of the date, as well as the coupling of the movement of the base which allows the display of the current time by the hands 106, 106 'and 106 ", are explained in detail with the help of Figures 9A, B, C, D .
- the pusher 102 is itself a control member, which allows each pressure on the pusher 102 to change the display in the aperture 108 by means of a specific wheel, described below in particular with the help of Figures 6A, 6B , 7A, 7B and 8A, 8B .
- the change of mode causes the rotation of a display disc 23 'comprising 4 different icons, two are associated with the setting of time parameters, here the date 109' and the time 110 ' trigger, and two others on activation or deactivation of the alarm.
- time parameters here the date 109' and the time 110 ' trigger
- two others on activation or deactivation of the alarm.
- each mode change also has an influence on the function of the adjusting ring 103, which alternatively enables a ringing barrel 93 to be raised, illustrated further in particular on the Figures 8A, 8B , to adjust the date value 109 'or to adjust the value of the triggering time. It is thus understood that the function of the ring 103, which acts as a control member as opposed to the push button 102 which acts as control member, changes according to the selected mode.
- the members 102 and 103 are thus coupled, and allow a particularly intuitive adjustment and actuation of the alarm device thus described, since the entry in each adjustment mode, calendar or time, can be viewed simultaneously, and that each pressure on the pusher is then followed, for the actuation of the alarm device, with an adjustment step.
- the actuation of the alarm is effected by means of the succession of three stages of alternation of a pressure of the push 102, and rotation of the ring 103, to raise the barrel, set the date, and adjust the schedule.
- This succession of steps can be done in any order, ie not necessarily starting with a determined adjustment step; however, the succession of modes is, in the embodiment described, in a given order, namely: A, D, B, C.
- the winding of the ringer barrel 93 is possible in modes A and D; in which the alarm is respectively activated or deactivated.
- the triggering step of the alarm device A1, illustrated on the figure 3A consists in pivoting the release arm 10 by pressing the pushbutton 102 after setting the alarm 110 'alarm time. In doing so, the user of the alarm clock 101 enters the alarm activation mode A.
- the advantage of using such a ring 103 as adjusting member makes it possible to adjust the chosen time parameters in any direction, that is to say incremental or decremental.
- the differentiated position of the various triggering values of the alarm for the date 109 'and the time 110' also allow an intuitive sequential adjustment in which the set value can be instantly visualized.
- the simultaneous display of the operating modes, including the two adjustment modes B and C, help to make the adjustment and visualization of the time parameters to be set more convenient.
- the arrangement of the display of the trigger date value 109 'opposite the calendar of the basic movement formed by the indications of tens 107', and units 107 ', the indications being arranged respectively at 9 o'clock and 3 hours on the dial allow a very fast comparison of these date values and therefore easy reading
- the choice of a different display mode by needle 109 for triggering the alarm and by digital display for the date current also makes it possible to avoid any confusion about the interpretation of the displayed date values.
- the numerical value will give without effort the desired indication of the current date, which is the one most often consulted by the user on which he is working. will first focus spontaneously.
- the alarm clock of the figure 1 contains another ring gear 105, which makes it possible to raise the barrel of the basic movement driving the clockwork and the needles 106, 106 ', 106'', or to adjust these hands,
- the function of the ring 103 is preferably determined by the position a zipper, which however only needs two positions here since the calendar is set using the push button 104.
- the Figures 2A, B and C illustrate the triggering device of the alarm according to the preferred embodiment described in different views, the first in perspective, the second in section and the third view from above.
- the alarm consists according to this embodiment in a ringing device, therefore containing a ringing hammer 9 acting on a sound element 92, here a stamp, but this sound element could also take the form of a bell or a bell. any other type of sound element.
- the alarm device also comprises a ringer barrel 93 and a ringer anchor 91, so that the ringer can last for a certain time, at the convenience of the manufacturer of the alarm clock 101.
- the frequency of repetitions, the duration of actuation of the striking device, and the intensity of the sounds emitted depends on the energy available in the ringer barrel 93, ie the moment of inertia that it provides to the ringer mobile (not shown but making exhaust wheel office distributing the energy of the barrel to the ring anchor), and the moment of inertia of the ring hammer 9.
- the ringer anchor 91 is integral with the ringer hammer 9.
- the motor means of the units 107 "and 107 'of the date can be distinguished according to one of claims 2 or 3, which conventionally consist respectively of a wheel 15 having 10 teeth and a cross 14 having four branches. a disk having the values of date units 107 "while the cross 14 drives a disk having the values of tens of days 107 '.
- the cross 14 and the disc 15 are indexed by respective elastic indexing elements 14 'and 15'; the gearing of the elements 15/15 'and 14/14' taking place on different planes.
- the wheel 15 meshes with a first date wheel 11 driven by the base movement, which leads parallel to a series of 4 teeth 13 on a slightly lower plane for indexing dozens of calendars and the passage from 31 to 1.
- Each of the 4 teeth meshes on the cross 14 dozens.
- another date wheel 12 meshing with the date of expiration wheel 2 of the alarm device according to the invention which constitutes a first element of triggering means (references 2,2 ', 3,3', 4,4 ', 5,6,6', 6 ', 7,7', 8,8 ', described below on the basis of Figure 2A ).
- triggering means are not only associated with a date value 109 ', but also with a triggering time 110'.
- These triggering means comprise a date trigger element 4 and a time trigger element 6, each distinct and each armed with a spring 4 ', 6'.
- the triggering element 4 allows the vertical movement of a first triggering wheel 3, associated with the date, with respect to the date of expiration wheel 2, coupled to the watch movement via the date wheel 12.
- a first triggering wheel 3 associated with the date
- the first triggering wheel 3 contains recesses 3 'to allow the penetration of lugs 2' of the wheel. Date deadline 2 when triggering. It is understood here that including the recesses and / or lugs 2 ', 3' cooperate mutually and that their positions could be reversed on each of the wheels 2 and 3.
- the triggering means of the alarm device described comprise a second trigger wheel 7 pressed onto a clock wheel 8 by the time trigger element 6, which allows the vertical movement thereof, as well as the trigger element 4 for the first trigger wheel 2
- the clock wheel 8 is coupled to an hour wheel of a clock movement 1061, 1061 ', illustrated later in the drawings. Figures 9A to D .
- the second trigger wheel 7 and the hourly wheel 8 include recesses respectively cooperating pins mutually. 7 ', 8'.
- the protruding parts could however be arranged on one or the other of these wheels.
- the first and second trigger wheels 3,7 are kinematically connected to one another via the calendar trigger element 4, taking the form of a potentially resilient lever, one end of which is arranged under one end. release bridge 5 secured to the second trigger wheel 7.
- the illustrated triggering means comprising a time trigger element 6 in the form of a preferably elastic lever, a first end of which is fixed to the second trigger wheel 7, and provided with at a second end of a first gripping element 6 "engageable in a second gripping element 9 'of the striking hammer 9.
- the respective gripping elements of the hammer 9' and of the triggering element 6 are particularly visible on Figures 2B and 2C .
- the alarm device comprises a release arm 10, which makes it possible to arm and disarm the ringing device.
- the arm is disposed under the release bridge 5, as will be seen in the following figures 4 having appeal to the adjustment functions, in all modes except the mode A of engagement of the alarm, which is the mode in which is found the alarm device for Figures 2A, B and C illustrated. In this mode, the arm is thus in an unobstructed position, which will, as will be seen in the following figures 3A, B and C, the vertical movement of the wheels 2/3 and 7/8 relative to each other.
- the release arm 10 also comprises a heel 10 'cooperating with a control cam described with the column wheel 22 on the basis of the Figures 6 to 8 .
- the column wheel 22 serves as a control device for the arm 10, via the cam located on the floor 224 visible on the Figures 6 to 8 following, and the release of the arm is caused by an action on the push button 102.
- the column wheel 22 determines the operating modes A, B, C, D of the alarm device; the clearance of the release arm 10 corresponds to the entry into the mode A and the activation step of the alarm device A1, and vice versa, when the arm is released, that is to say when in this mode A, the engagement of the release arm 10 corresponds to the entry into the deactivation mode D and the action on the pusher 102 to enter this mode corresponds to the deactivation step D1.
- These steps A1 and D1 are visualized by arrows on the Figures 3A, B, C .
- the Figure 2B shows also a third date wheel 16, and an associated indexing element 16 '.
- the third date wheel 16 is used for the correction of the current date value with the aid of the push-button 104. This correction will be explained later on the basis of the Figures 9 A to D .
- the Figures 3A-C show the alarm device in the same mode of engagement of the ring, with all the same elements as those illustrated in the Figures 2A, B, C previous and according to the same views as the Figures 2A, B, C previous, but at the moment of the ringing.
- the trigger occurs "in cascade" with respect to each of the triggers associated with each trigger parameter, namely in this case first the date, then the time chosen for the alarm.
- the chosen trigger date value 109 ' is reached, the first triggering wheel 3 sinks onto the date of expiration wheel 2, in a vertical movement illustrated by the arrow A2.
- the calendar trigger element 4 also decreases, according to the arrow A4.
- the second triggering wheel 7 sinks on the date-deadline wheel 2, in a vertical movement illustrated by the arrow A4. Simultaneously, the time trigger element 6 also lowers, according to the arrow A5, thus releasing the hammer 9 and causing the ringing.
- the lugs of the date expiry wheel 2' push back the first trigger wheel, and similarly when the current time is not plus equal to the trigger time value 110 'the lugs 8' of the deadline wheel expel the second trigger wheel, so that the device is in the position illustrated in FIGS. Figures 2A, B, C preceding.
- the alarm is no longer triggered not only for a particular schedule, but also for a particular day. Repetition takes place only when these two conditions are met, ie at most once a month.
- This cascade mechanism makes it possible to envisage, although this variant is not described in detail or illustrated, to add an additional trigger stage for a monthly deadline, or a year-end, by coupling a third wheel of triggering a wheel of maturity of the months, or even a fourth a tripping wheel to a year-end wheel (unit wheel from 0 to 9), or other temporal parameters.
- the control of the alarm device may comprise a deactivation step D1 of the alarm device, corresponding to the activation of a specific deactivation mode D by pressing the pushbutton 102.
- This step D1 deactivation can be performed at any time, regardless of the effective triggering of the alarm device, the oscillation frequencies of the hammer 9 and the arrangement of the gripping elements 6 "of the calendar trigger element 6 and the hammer 9 'allowing instantaneous stopping of the buzzer in case of activation of the mode D even in the event of operation of the buzzer.
- the deactivation step D1 corresponds, according to the scrolling order of the modes of the alarm clock 101, to a pressing the push button 102 while the current operating mode is the alarm activation mode A, represented by the ringing icon in the box 108.
- the dice mode activation D corresponds to the display of a barred ringing icon in the window 108, as on the figure 1 .
- the Figures 4A, B and C illustrate the triggering device of the alarm according to the preferred embodiment described according to the same views as the trilogies of figures 3 previous, the first in perspective, the second in section and the third view from above, but this time during mode B of setting the value of the trigger date 109 'of the alarm device.
- the release arm 10 is placed under the release bridge 5 next to the trigger wheel hour 7, so that it is blocked horizontally and can never lower.
- the time trigger element 6 can never release the hammer 9 and thus prevents the wheel from setting the ring.
- the setting wheel of the first trigger wheel 3 is detailed on the Figures 4A and 4C , the figure in section does not allow an explicit illustration.
- the setting wheel of the trigger date 109 ' comprises a first wheel 31 provided with a pinion 31', which meshes with a second intermediate wheel 32 returning meshing with the third wheel 33 driving the display needle 109 of the date trigger, located on a higher plane.
- the rotation of the third wheel 33 is indexed by date unit thanks to the elastic indexing element 33 '.
- the number of the teeth of the wheels 33, 32, 31 ', 31 and 3 is chosen such that the angle of rotation of the third wheel 33 is exactly transmitted to the first trigger wheel 3 so that the latter operate completely. synchronized. To do this, it is for example possible to choose an equal number of teeth for the wheels 33 and the pinion 31 ', as well as for the wheels 31 and 3.
- the wheels 33 and the pinion 31' will thus have the same angular velocity of same as the wheels 31 and 3; since the first wheel 31 and the pinion 31 'are also the same, by transitivity that of the wheel 3 will be equal to that of the third wheel 33.
- the wheel is then extended by the fourth and fifth wheels 34 and 35, the fourth wheel 34 meshing on the third wheel 33 and the fifth wheel 35 meshing on the wheel 34.
- the fifth wheel 35 then meshes on a rocking wheel 2522, the second starting from the ring 103, which itself meshes on a first wheel of flip-flop 2511 located on the same flip-flop 251, which is oriented differently according to the operating modes, and more precisely between the operating modes B and C which are adjustment modes.
- this rocker is pointed towards the date setting wheel formed by the elements 31-35 described above.
- the first rocking wheel 2511 finally meshes with the adjusting wheel 26, common to the two adjustment modes B and C, and which meshes with a sliding pinion formed of a first coupling gear 241 meshing with the adjusting wheel 26, and a second coupling gear 242, provided with a Breguet gearing for unidirectional gearing, conventionally used for winding the striking barrel 93.
- the position of the sliding pinion formed by the first and second coupling gears 241,242 of the rod of the 1033 adjustment ring is determined by the position of a coupling lever 24, which is illustrated further including using the Figures 6A , B to 8 A , B .
- a coupling lever 24 which is illustrated further including using the Figures 6A , B to 8 A , B .
- FIGS. 5A, B and C illustrate the triggering device of the alarm according to the preferred embodiment described according to the same views as the trilogies of the figures 4 previous, the first in perspective, the second in section and the third view from above, but this time during mode C setting the trigger time 110 'of the alarm device.
- the release arm 10 is disposed under the release bridge 5 next to the trigger wheel hour 7, so that it is blocked horizontally and can never lower.
- the clearance bridge 5 is shown on the Figures 5A and 5B but it is not visible on the Figure 5C on which we clearly see the spacing between the trigger wheel 7 and the hourly wheel 8, but not the clearance bridge 5 above the time trigger element 6, above which we see the ring 110 " bearing the time indications.
- the Figure 5A illustrates in perspective the time setting wheel 110 'trigger, comprising a first wheel 71 of the adjusting wheel of the second trigger wheel, meshing directly with the second trigger wheel 7. This wheel 71 meshes with a second wheel the setting wheel of the second trigger wheel 72, which is engaged, upon activation of the adjustment mode C, with the second flip wheel 2512.
- the gear system of this second flip wheel 2512 at the wheel of the setting ring 1031 is in all respects identical to that described for the mode B of adjustment, namely a gear on the first flip wheel 2511 located on the same flip-flop 251, which then meshes with the adjusting wheel 26, meshing itself with the sliding pinion formed of the first coupling gear 241, meshing on the adjusting wheel 26, and the second coupling gear 242, provided with a Breguet gear for unidirectional gearing, conventionally used for the winding of the ringer barrel 93.
- the position of the sliding pinion formed by the first and second coupling gears 241,242 of the rod of the adjusting ring 1033 is determined by the position of the coupling lever 24, which is illustrated below, in particular with the aid of the Figures 6A , B to 8A , B , and whose position is identical for the adjustment modes B and C.
- the wheel of the adjusting ring 1031 located at the end of the rod 1033 is actuated in rotation by the user by turning the ring 103.
- the Figure 5A shows also a gear train to the internal toothing of the ring bearing the 110 "trigger time indication, which is actuated in stepwise rotation by the indexing elements 111 in engagement with the internal toothing.
- left of the figure shows an exploded view in which one distinguishes the second wheel of the setting wheel of the trigger wheel 72 in engagement with a first wheel of the setting wheel of the trigger time ring 73, in the same plane, including the rotation is secured to a second wheel of the setting wheel of the triggering time ring 73 ', coaxial with the wheel 73 and located in an upper plane.
- the wheel 73' meshes in the same plane with a third gear wheel for adjusting the triggering time ring 74, the rotation of which is secured to a fourth wheel of the setting wheel of the triggering time ring 74 ', coaxial with the wheel 73 and situated in the plane of the toothing internal ring bearing 110 "time indication, with which it meshes.
- the arrangement with coaxial wheels 73,73 'and 74,74' saves space on the plate but has the disadvantage of a larger footprint in height.
- the gear ratios of the gear train are determined so that a complete rotation of the ring 110 "bearing the trip time indication is synchronized to a full rotation of the second trigger wheel 7.
- the Figure 5B illustrates, in addition to the triggering means already described in detail using the f igures 2A, B, C , the same tuning wheels of the second trigger wheel 7 and the time ring bearing the time indication 110 'trigger that those illustrated in the Figure 5A however, the view from above does not make it possible to determine the plane-by-plane position of the various elements of the gear train, but simply to determine the gear relationships of the various elements: 71-72-2512, forming a first kinematic sub-chain relative to adjusting the position of the second trigger wheel 7, and 72-73 / 73'-74 / 74'-110 ", forming a second kinematic sub-chain associated with adjusting the position of the ring containing the values of 110 "trigger time.
- the writing 73/73 'and 74/74' indicates here that the two elements referenced are coaxial and integral in rotation, but each of the elements being located on a different gear plane.
- Figures 5A, B, C that the preferred embodiment illustrated uses lines on the ring 110 "bearing the time indication trigger, while this indication takes a different shape on the figure 1 .
- Any type of indication making it possible to clearly determine the triggering time 110 'may be indifferently chosen by those skilled in the art.
- FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate views respectively in perspective and from above of the alarm device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, with an illustration of a control device based on a column wheel 22. These figures make it possible to explain the selection modes, their implication on the position of the latch 251, their display in the window 108 visible on the figure 1 , as well as the coupling of the function of the crown 103 to the mode selected with the aid of the push-button 102.
- Figures 6A and 6B show the alarm device in the same mode as Figures 4A-C , that is to say the setting mode of the trigger date B.
- the position of the rocker is such that the second rocker wheel 2512 meshes with the fifth wheel of the control gear of the first trigger wheel 35.
- This position is controlled by a control cam of the rocker lever 25, positioned on a stage 222 of a column wheel, composed of 5 superimposed stages.
- the next higher stage 223 is that of the control cam of the coupling lever 24, which determines the position of the sliding pinion formed by the first and second coupling gears 241, 242. This stage therefore alternately controls the coupling of the wheel.
- the last stage 225 located at the upper end of the stack of the column wheel 22, respectively correspond to the mode display control, the wheel of the stage 225 meshing with the wheel 23, whose rotation is secured. to that of the disk 23 'carrying the icons indicating the operating modes of the alarm device.
- the wheel 23 ' not shown on the Figures 6A and 6B , is shown later on Figures 7A and 7B .
- the annular scale 109 "bearing the date indications the trigger date indicator needle 109 is illustrated only on the Figure 6B but not on the Figure 6A .
- the lower stage 221 corresponds to the gear stage of the column wheel 22 with a pawl 21 actuated by the push button 102, of which only the rod 1021 is shown in the figures.
- the overall state of the column wheel 22 can thus be summarized by the following table, in which the change of state of each stage corresponds to an angular displacement of a tooth of the lower stage 221.
- the wheel of the lower stage comprises 12 teeth and thus 12 states are represented; the person skilled in the art will however understand, given the periodicity noted, that a number of teeth equal to any multiple of the period may be chosen.
- FIGS 7A and 7B illustrate views respectively in perspective and from above of the alarm device according to the same preferred embodiment of the invention as in the preceding figures, with the illustration of the control device based on a column wheel 22, this time determining the mode C of time adjustment, that is to say the same mode as Figures 5A-C wherein the flip-flop 251 is oriented such that the second flip wheel 2512 meshes with the second wheel of the setting wheel of the second trigger wheel 72.
- a first major difference between Figures 5A, B and the Figures 7A, B relates to the addition of the column wheel 22, which controls the operating modes of the alarm device, as has already been explained in view of Figures 6A and 6B .
- FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate respectively perspective and top views of the alarm device according to the same preferred embodiment of the invention as in the previous figures, with the illustration of the control device based on a column wheel 22, this time ci in one of the modes A or D in which the winding of the ringer barrel 93 is possible.
- FIGS. 8A and 8B also illustrate the entirety of the winding gear of the drum 93, which starts from the crown wheel 1031 and the coupling wheel 1032, which is precisely coupled here by a Breguet toothing to the first coupling gear 241 of the sliding pinion mounted on the rod 1033, and which allows to mesh the wheel 1032 in a determined direction of rotation, which is arranged to be that of the winding of the barrel 93, while generating no gearing in the opposite direction.
- the winding gear continues by a gear on the crown wheel 901, which itself meshes with a second winding wheel of the barrel 902 'coaxial and rotationally fixed with a first winding wheel of the barrel 902, meshing in a lower plane.
- the first winding wheel of the barrel 902 meshes with a third winding wheel of the barrel 903, coaxial and integral in rotation with a fourth winding wheel of the barrel 903 ', meshing in a lower plane with the fifth winding wheel of the barrel 904. , engaged with the ratchet wheel 93 "of the barrel, clearly visible on the Figure 8B .
- the triggering means of the alarm device described (references 2,2 ', 3,3', 4,4 ', 5,6,6', 6 ', 7,7', 8.8 ', 10) are already explained in previous figures and will not be detailed for Figures 8A and 8C.
- the illustration of these tripping means next to the winding of the barrel 93 allows to appreciate their mutual positioning and the space generated on the plate.
- the coaxial arrangement of the first and second winding wheels 902, 902 'and the third and fourth wheels 903, 903' makes it possible precisely to reduce the space requirement in the plane of the plate.
- the Figures 9A, B are perspective views of the coupling gear between the timer of the basic movement and the hourly wheel 8, and the date correction wheel of the base movement of the dial and movement respectively.
- the Figures 9C and D represent the same views as those of Figures A and B, respectively, but from above. These figures are intended to explain how the calendar deadline wheel 2 is synchronized with the date date displayed in the window 107 of the dial of the watch, visible on the figure 1 , and also how the deadline wheel 8 is also synchronized with the timer.
- the Figures 9A and B highlight the push rod 104, located at two o'clock on the figure 1 , and which allows the setting of the date displayed in the aperture 107.
- the setting consists of incrementing in steps of one unit each time the pusher 104 is pressed.
- Fixed pivoting at the bottom of the rod of the pusher 104 there is a lever for adjustment of the date of the base movement 1041, which acts on a date adjustment ratchet of the base movement 1042.
- This pawl 1042 drives the toothing of the third gear wheel date of the base movement 16, which is incremented by a tooth.
- the indexing elements 14 ', 15', and 16 ' have not been represented on the Figures 9A, B , CD , but they allow the unit indexing of each of the elements 14,15 and 16 which it ensures the indexed positioning.
- the rotation of the wheel 16 drives that of the wheel 11 and teeth 13, which increments the unit values 107 ", and respectively tens 107 'displayed in the aperture 107 via the wheel 15 and the star 14.
- the indexation of the date units each day by the basic movement is performed by means of the indexing cam 1043 ', integral with the 24-hour wheel, meshing with the first hour wheel of the base movement 1061, and which acts on the date adjustment ratchet of the base movement 1042.
- the indexing cam 1043 allows the incrementation of a unit of the third calendar program tooth wheel of the basic movement 16, and thus, as explained in the previous paragraph, the incrementation of the value of the units 107 "displayed in the aperture 107.
- the indexing cam 1043 ' is particularly clearly visible on the Figures 9B and 9D .
- the basic movement comprises two wheels of distinct hours located in different planes: a first hour wheel 1061, and a second hour wheel 1061 ', much larger, engaged with the timer.
- the first hour wheel 1061 meshes with the 24 hour wheel 1043, which itself meshes with the transmission wheel 1062, in mesh with the hourly timing wheel 8.
- the transmission wheel 1062 thus acts as a reference and ensures the permanent synchronization of the hourly wheel 8 with the 24-hour wheel 1043, even when the hands 106 and 106 "are set for the hours and minutes of the basic movement through the ring 105.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'alarme pourvu d'un mécanisme de déclenchement et de réglage. L'invention est particulièrement adaptée notamment à des montres bracelets mécaniques de type montre réveil.The present invention relates to an alarm device provided with a triggering and adjusting mechanism. The invention is particularly suitable in particular for mechanical wristwatches type watch alarm clock.
Les montres réveil mécaniques sont bien connues de l'état de la technique pour déclencher des sonneries à un horaire prédéterminé (voir notamment le livre
Le dispositif de sonnerie comprend généralement une roue de déclenchement, pivotant au-dessus de la roue des heures du mouvement de base. Cette roue est percée par des entrées, de préférence circulaires, et de préférence placées sur des rayons différents, dans lesquelles peuvent s'engager des ergots formés sur la roue des heures, conventionnelle, du mouvement de base. La roue des heures est plaquée contre la roue de déclenchement par un élément appelé déclencheur, armé par un ressort; à l'instant prévu pour la sonnerie, les trois ergots de la roue des heures tombent dans les entrées de la roue de déclenchement, de telle sorte que le déclencheur bascule et peut libérer l'ancre de sonnerie. Ainsi la sonnerie sera active jusqu'à ce que le barillet de sonnerie soit désarmé.The striking device generally comprises a trigger wheel, pivoting above the wheel of the hours of the basic movement. This wheel is pierced by entries, preferably circular, and preferably placed on different radii, in which lugs formed on the hour wheel, conventional, of the base movement can engage. The hour wheel is pressed against the trigger wheel by an element called trigger, armed by a spring; at the time provided for the bell, the three lugs of the hour wheel fall into the inputs of the trigger wheel, so that the trigger switches and can release the anchor of alarm. Thus the buzzer will be active until the alarm barrel is disarmed.
Dans ce genre de mécanisme, il est possible d'associer à la roue de déclenchement un disque de réveil portant un index placé en regard de l'heure désirée pour la sonnerie; l'heure indiquée par l'index correspondra à celle du déclenchement de la sonnerie. Le dispositif de sonnerie ainsi décrit correspond toutefois à une alarme journalière, sans possibilité d'un réglage différent d'un jour sur l'autre.In this kind of mechanism, it is possible to associate with the trigger wheel a clock disk bearing an index placed next to the desired time for the ringing; the time indicated by the index will correspond to the time of the ringing. The ringing device thus described, however, corresponds to a daily alarm, without the possibility of a different adjustment from one day to another.
Le document
Des mécanismes d'alarme électroniques permettent par ailleurs de régler des sonneries qui sont désactivés immédiatement après leur mise en marche (
Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un nouveau mécanisme d'actionnement et une nouvelle méthode de réglage d'une sonnerie exempts des limitations de l'art antérieur connu, et qui soient particulièrement adapté aux montres réveils.An object of the present invention is to provide a new actuating mechanism and a new method of setting a ringtone free from the limitations of the known prior art, and which are particularly suitable for alarm clocks watches.
Ces buts sont atteints notamment grâce à un dispositif d'alarme pour montre réveil pouvant actionner une sonnerie ou un mécanisme d'alarme vibrante, qui peut être déclenchée à un horaire prédéterminé, caractérisé en qu'il contient un organe de réglage agissant sur des moyens de déclenchement associés à un quantième prédéterminé.These goals are achieved in particular by means of an alarm clock alarm device that can actuate a buzzer or a vibrating alarm mechanism, which can be triggered at a predetermined time, characterized in that it contains an adjusting member acting on triggering means associated with a predetermined date.
Ces buts sont également atteints par une méthode pour la commande d'un dispositif d'alarme pour montre réveil, caractérisée ce qu'elle comprend au moins une étape de réglage pour la détermination d'un quantième, et de préférence au moins une étape distincte d'enclenchement dudit dispositif d'alarme.These objects are also achieved by a method for controlling an alarm clock alarm device, characterized in that it comprises at least one adjustment step for determining a date, and preferably at least one distinct step engaging said alarm device.
Un avantage de la solution proposée est de coupler le déclenchement de la sonnerie non seulement à un horaire déterminé, mais également à un quantième prédéfini, de telle sorte que l'alarme ne soit pas indument répétée tous les jours, mais seulement activée le jour correspondant au quantième du mois choisi.An advantage of the proposed solution is to couple the triggering of the ringing not only at a fixed time, but also at a predefined date, so that the alarm is not unduly repeated every day, but only activated on the corresponding day on the day of the chosen month.
Un avantage additionnel de la solution proposée est de pouvoir effectuer le réglage au moins trente jours à l'avance.An additional advantage of the proposed solution is to be able to adjust at least thirty days in advance.
Par ailleurs, la solution proposée permet un réglage simple et rapide, dispensant de l'usage de toute pièce électronique et toute manipulation fastidieuse d'une couronne de réglage pour changer sa position axiale, tout en restant particulièrement intuitif et convivial grâce la visualisation instantanée des modes de fonctionnement et des étapes de réglage.Moreover, the proposed solution allows a simple and fast adjustment, dispensing the use of any electronic part and any tedious manipulation of a setting ring to change its axial position, while remaining particularly intuitive and user-friendly thanks to the instantaneous visualization of operating modes and adjustment steps.

Sur le cadran de la montre, on peut distinguer, partant du centre les aiguilles du mouvement de la montre, à savoir l'aiguille des heures 106, celle des minutes 106' et celle des secondes 106". A trois heures se trouve un guichet 107, au travers duquel on peut visualiser le quantième, formé par un affichage dissocié des dizaines 107' et des unités 107", les dizaines et les unités se trouvant sur des disques distincts ayant leurs propres moyens d'entraînement, la croix 14 et la roue 15 illustrée sur les figures suivantes, et notamment les
A neuf heures sur le cadran se trouve une échelle annulaire contenant des inscriptions 109" correspondant à des valeurs de quantième. Une aiguille 109 pointe sur une valeur de quantième choisie pour le déclenchement 109', qui déterminera le jour d'actionnement du dispositif d'alarme. Sur la face interne de l'anneau que forme l'échelle annulaire 109" se trouve un guichet 108, qui permet d'afficher le mode de fonctionnement de la montre réveil. Sur la
La carrure de la montre réveil 101 porte deux boutons poussoirs 102 et 104. Le poussoir 104 permet de corriger les valeurs de quantième, par incrémentations unitaires lors de chaque pression sur le poussoir 104. La correction du quantième, ainsi que le couplage du mouvement de base qui permet l'affichage de l'heure courante par les aiguilles 106, 106' et 106", sont expliquées en détail à l'aides des
Lors de chaque pression sur le poussoir 102, chaque changement de mode a aussi une influence sur la fonction de la couronne de réglage 103, qui permet alternativement de remonter un barillet de sonnerie 93, illustré plus loin notamment sur les
L'avantage d'utiliser une telle couronne 103 comme organe de réglage permet d'effectuer le réglage des paramètres temporels choisis dans n'importe quel sens, c'est-à-dire incrémental ou décrémental. La position différenciée des différentes valeurs de déclenchement de l'alarme pour le quantième 109' et l'horaire 110' permettent par ailleurs un réglage séquentiel intuitif dans lequel on peut instantanément visualiser la valeur réglée. L'affichage simultané des modes de fonctionnement, dont les deux modes de réglage B et C, contribuent à rendre le réglage et la visualisation des paramètres temporels à régler des plus commodes. Par ailleurs, la disposition de l'affichage de la valeur de quantième de déclenchement 109' en regard du quantième du mouvement de base formé par les indications de dizaine 107', et d'unités 107", les indications étant disposées respectivement à 9 heures et 3 heures sur le cadran, permettent une comparaison très rapide de ces valeurs de quantième et donc une lecture aisée; le choix d'un mode d'affichage différent par aiguille 109 pour le déclenchement de l'alarme et par affichage numérique pour le quantième courant permet par ailleurs d'éviter toute confusion sur l'interprétation des valeurs de quantième affichées. La valeur numérique donnera sans effort l'indication souhaitée du quantième courant, qui est celle consultée a priori le plus souvent par l'utilisateur sur laquelle il se focalisera a priori en premier spontanément.The advantage of using such a

Ce mécanisme en cascade permet d'envisager, bien que cette variante ne soit pas décrite en détail ni illustrée, de rajouter un étage supplémentaire de déclenchement pour une échéance mensuelle, ou encore une échéance d'année, par couplage d'une troisième roue de déclenchement à une roue d'échéance des mois, voire même d'une quatrième une roue de déclenchement à une roue d'échéance d'année (roue unitaire de 0 à 9), ou encore d'autres paramètres temporels.This cascade mechanism makes it possible to envisage, although this variant is not described in detail or illustrated, to add an additional trigger stage for a monthly deadline, or a year-end, by coupling a third wheel of triggering a wheel of maturity of the months, or even a fourth a tripping wheel to a year-end wheel (unit wheel from 0 to 9), or other temporal parameters.
La commande du dispositif d'alarme selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré peut comprendre une étape de désactivation D1 du dispositif d'alarme, correspondant à l'activation d'un mode de désactivation spécifique D par pression sur le bouton poussoir 102. Cette étape de désactivation D1, peut être effectuée à tout moment, indépendamment du déclenchement effectif du dispositif d'alarme, les fréquences d'oscillation du marteau 9 et l'agencement des éléments de préhension 6" de l'élément déclencheur de quantième 6 et du marteau 9' permettant l'arrêt instantané de la sonnerie en cas d'activation du mode D même en cas de fonctionnement de la sonnerie. L'étape de désactivation D1 correspond, selon l'ordre défilement des modes de la montre réveil 101, à une pression sur le bouton poussoir 102 alors que le mode de fonctionnement courant est le mode A d'enclenchement de l'alarme, représenté par l'icône de sonnerie dans le guichet 108. Le mode de désactivation D correspond à l'affichage d'un icône de sonnerie barré dans le guichet 108, comme sur la

Le rouage de réglage du quantième de déclenchement 109' comprend une première roue 31 munie d'un pignon 31', qui engrène avec une deuxième roue intermédiaire 32 de renvoi engrenant sur la troisième roue 33 entraînant l'aiguille 109 d'affichage du quantième de déclenchement, située sur un plan supérieur. La rotation de la troisième roue 33 est indexée par unité de quantième grâce à l'élément d'indexation élastique 33'. Le nombre des dents des roues 33, 32, 31', 31 et 3 est choisi de telle sorte que l'angle de rotation de la troisième roue 33 soit exactement transmis à la première roue de déclenchement 3 afin que ces dernières fonctionnent de manière totalement synchronisée. Pour ce faire, il est par exemple possible de choisir un nombre de dents égal pour les roues 33 et le pignon 31', ainsi que pour les roues 31 et 3. Les roues 33 et le pignon 31' auront ainsi la même vitesse angulaire de même que les roues 31 et 3; puisque la première roue 31 et le pignon 31' on également la même, par transitivité celle de la roue 3 sera égale à celle de la troisième roue 33. Le rouage se prolonge ensuite par les quatrième et cinquième roues 34 et 35, la quatrième roue 34 engrenant sur la troisième roue 33 et la cinquième roue 35 engrenant sur la roue 34. La cinquième roue 35 engrène ensuite sur une roue de bascule 2522, la deuxième en partant de la couronne 103, qui engrène elle-même sur une première roue de bascule 2511 située sur la même bascule 251, qui est orientée différemment selon les modes de fonctionnement, et plus précisément entre les modes de fonctionnement B et C qui sont des modes de réglage.

L'état global de la roue à colonne 22 peut ainsi être résumé par le tableau suivant, dans lequel le changement d'état de chaque étage correspond à un déplacement angulaire d'une dent de l'étage inférieur 221. Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré, la roue de l'étage inférieur comprend 12 dents et donc 12 états sont représentés; l'homme du métier comprendra toutefois, étant donné la périodicité constatée, qu'un nombre de dents égal à n'importe quel multiple de la période pourra être choisi.

En lisant colonne par colonne on remarque bien effectivement que les différents états du système (010, 110, 100, 001) sont répétés après incrémentation de 4 dents de la roue de l'étage inférieur 221; chacun des 4 états correspond donc aux différents modes du système (010 = mode D de désactivation 110 = mode B de réglage de quantième, le premier « 1 » indiquant que le système est en mode réglage et le 2e « 1 » indiquant le type de réglage effectué, 100 = mode C de réglage horaire, et enfin 001 = mode A d'enclenchement dudit dispositif d'alarme.) Les positions d'activation ou de désactivation sur les cames des étages 222 et 223 illustrent comment la fonction exercée par la couronne 103 est déterminée (0 = remontage, 1 = réglage, avec 11 = 1er type de réglage et 10 = 2e type de réglage).Reading column by column it is indeed noted that the various states of the system (010, 110, 100, 001) are repeated after incrementation of 4 teeth of the wheel of the
L'homme du métier comprendra que des contraintes fonctionnelles peuvent être appliquées au système comme par exemple: lorsque la valeur de l'étage 222 est à 1, la valeur de l'étage 224 est de préférence à 0, pour qu'aucun déclenchement de l'alarme ne puisse être indûment provoqué pendant le réglage, comme c'est le cas ici selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré, qui décrit une méthode de commande dans laquelle les modes de réglage B,C et d'activation A sont dissociés. D'autres contraintes sont envisageables avec la roue à colonnes 22 décrite, qui permet un nombre de modes potentiels égal à 8 (2 états possibles à chaque étage sur lesquels sont agencés des cames, soit 222,223,224, à la puissance du nombre de ces étages, égal à 3).Those skilled in the art will understand that functional constraints can be applied to the system, for example: when the value of
L'avantage de l'utilisation d'une telle roue à colonne 22 permet de gérer les états du système à partir d'un organe de commande centralisé, dont la disposition peut être déterminée sur la platine. Le fait que cet organe de commande soit actionné par un bouton poussoir 102 unique permet le défilement des modes de manière intuitive, chaque pression correspondant à une étape de changement de mode. Cet agencement dispense de l'usage d'organes de réglage dédiés à des fonctions déterminées; selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, la couronne remplit 3 fonctions différentes. L'homme du métier comprendra que l'aiguillage sur différents rouages de réglage peut être appliqué à d'autres paramètres temporels indépendants, et pas seulement des valeurs de quantième 109' et une valeur horaire 110" combinant des heures et des minutes.The advantage of the use of such a

Ainsi lorsque la couronne 103 est actionnée dans un sens déterminé correspondant à celui du remontage du barillet 93, qui est selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel décrit choisi distinct de celui du mouvement de base, afin de ne pas réduire la réserve de marche lors de l'actionnement du dispositif d'alarme. L'énergie approvisionnée dans le barillet 93 sera libérée lors de l'actionnement du dispositif d'alarme, le rouage de sonnerie étant en prise avec la denture externe du barillet 93'. Le mobile de sonnerie, agissant comme échappement, n'est toutefois pas représenté et seule l'ancre 91, solidaire du marteau 9, est visible sur les figures.Thus when the
Comme déjà indiqué précédemment dans la description, les moyens de déclenchement du dispositif d'alarme décrit ( références 2,2',3,3',4,4',5,6,6',6',7,7',8,8',10 ) sont déjà expliquées dans des figures précédentes et ne seront donc pas détaillées pour les
On peut visualiser, sur la
- la cloche barrée: mode D, correspondant au mode désactivé. Ce mode peut être activé indépendamment de l'actionnement effectif de la sonnerie, comme expliqué précédemment.
- le « d » pour « day »: mode B, correspondant au réglage du quantième de déclenchement 109'. C'est le mode qui suit le mode D après une pression sur le bouton poussoir 102, auquel est liée la tige 1021,
car le cliquet 21 entraîne alors la roue à colonnes 22 en rotation dans le sens anti-horaire, et donc la roue 23, auquel le disque d'affichage 23' est fixé, dans le sens horaire. Dans ce mode,la couronne 103 permet d'effectuer un réglage de la valeur de quantième de déclenchement 109'; le réglage est par ailleurs possible dans les deux sens, c'est à dire que la rotation de la couronne 103 dans un premier sens engendre la rotation de l'aiguille 109 dans un premier sens, pas à pas grâce à l'élément élastique d'indexation 33', et que la rotation de la couronne dans le sens inverse engendre la rotation de l'aiguille 109 dans le sens inverse. Cette fonctionnalité permet d'augmenter considérablement l'aisance du réglage. - le « h » pour « hour »: mode C, correspondant au réglage de l'horaire de déclenchement 110'. C'est le mode qui suit le mode B après une autre pression sur le bouton poussoir 102. Dans ce mode,
la couronne 103 permet d'effectuer un réglage d'une valeur d'horaire de déclenchement, avec, selon le mode de réalisation décrit, une précision au quart d'heure; le réglage est par ailleurs possible dans les deux sens, c'est à dire que la rotation de la couronne 103 dans un premier sens engendre la rotation de l'anneau portant les valeurs de déclenchement horaire 110" dans un premier sens, pas à pas grâce aux éléments d'indexation 111, et que la rotation de la couronne 103 dans le sens inverse engendre la rotation de l'anneau portant les valeurs de déclenchement horaire 110" dans le sens inverse. Cette fonctionnalité permet également d'augmenter considérablement l'aisance du réglage.
- the barred bell: mode D, corresponding to the deactivated mode. This mode can be activated independently of the effective operation of the ringer, as explained above.
- the "d" for "day": mode B, corresponding to the setting of the
trigger date 109 '. This is the mode which follows the mode D after a pressure on thepush button 102, to which is connected therod 1021, because thepawl 21 then drives thecolumn wheel 22 in rotation in the counterclockwise direction, and therefore thewheel 23, to which the display disc 23 'is fixed, in the clockwise direction. In this mode, thering 103 makes it possible to adjust thetrigger date value 109 '; the adjustment is also possible in both directions, that is to say that the rotation of thering 103 in a first direction causes the rotation of theneedle 109 in a first direction, step by step through the elastic element of 33 'indexing, and that the rotation of the ring in the opposite direction causes the rotation of theneedle 109 in the opposite direction. This feature greatly increases the ease of adjustment. - the "h" for "hour": mode C, corresponding to the setting of the triggering time 110 '. This is the mode that follows the mode B after another press on the
pushbutton 102. In this mode, thecrown 103 makes it possible to adjust a trigger time value, with, according to the embodiment describes a quarter-hour precision; the adjustment is also possible in both directions, that is to say that the rotation of thering 103 in a first direction causes the rotation of the ring bearing the time-release values 110 "in a first direction, step by step thanks to theindexing elements 111, and that the rotation of thering 103 in the opposite direction causes the rotation of the ring carrying the time-release values 110 "in the opposite direction. This feature also greatly increases the ease of adjustment.
Toutefois, une fois ce deuxième réglage effectué, le dispositif d'alarme n'est toujours pas activé et il faut effectuer une étape supplémentaire distincte d'enclenchement A1 que l'alarme soit activée, car dans le mode C, le bras de dégagement est toujours situé sous le pont de dégagement 5, empêchement tout mouvement vertical de la roue de déclenchement horaire 7 et ainsi la libération du marteau de sonnerie 9. Selon un mode de réalisation alternatif, on pourrait imaginer que cette étape d'activation A1 ne soit pas nécessaire et que l'activation du mode de réglage du dernier paramètre à déterminer enclenche simultanément le dispositif de sonnerie; cette solution présente toutefois l'inconvénient de pouvoir indûment déclencher l'alarme lors du réglage, ce qui en rend l'usage plus délicat, dans la mesure où il faut s'assurer que l'étape de réglage de fasse jamais coïncider les paramètres temporels de déclenchement à l'heure courante. La solution préférentielle comprenant une étape distincte d'enclenchement A1 permet donc un meilleur confort de réglage.
- la cloche: correspondant au mode A d'enclenchement de l'alarme, activé par une pression sur le bouton poussoir 102 depuis le mode C précédent. Cette pression sur le bouton poussoir 102 est l'étape A1 d'enclenchement nécessaire à l'activation de l'alarme, qui libère le bras de dégagement du pont de dégagement 5. On pourra toutefois noter que, selon le mode de réalisation décrit même cette étape d'activation A1 n'est pas suffisante pour s'assurer que le dispositif d'alarme selon l'invention puisse générer une sonnerie ou tout autre type d'avertissement. Ceci ne pourra être réalisé que par un actionnement additionnel de la couronne 103 dans le sens de remontage du barillet 93; toutefois, cet actionnement aura pu être effectué au préalable et il n'est pas nécessaire, comme déjà expliqué précédemment, de se trouver dans le mode A pour pouvoir effectuer le remontage du barillet 93 de sonnerie, cette étape de remontage peut également être effectuée dans le mode D de désactivation. Dans un mode de réalisation alternatif selon lequel la sonnerie utilise le barillet du mouvement de base, une telle opération de remontage ne serait toutefois pas nécessaire mais simplement souhaitable pour ne pas entamer trop substantiellement la réserve de marche; dans ce cas la seule condition pour que le dispositif d'alarme puisse fonctionner serait que le mouvement horloger de base soit lui-même en fonction lors de l'enclenchement de l'alarme.
- the bell: corresponding to the mode of activation of the alarm, activated by pressing the
pushbutton 102 from the previous mode C. This pressure on thepush button 102 is the activation step A1 necessary for the activation of the alarm, which releases the release arm of therelease bridge 5. It may however be noted that, according to the embodiment described even this activation step A1 is not sufficient to ensure that the alarm device according to the invention can generate a ring or any other type of warning. This can only be achieved by an additional actuation of thering gear 103 in the winding direction of thebarrel 93; however, this actuation could have been done beforehand and it is not necessary, as already explained above, to be in mode A to be able to perform the winding of thebarrel 93 ringer, this reassembly step can also be performed in D mode of deactivation. In an alternative embodiment in which the buzzer uses the barrel of the basic movement, such a reassembly operation would not be necessary but simply desirable not to too much of the power reserve; in this case the only condition for the alarm device to function is that the basic watch movement is itself in operation when the alarm is switched on.
Le fait que l'activation de tous les modes de réglage A,B,C,D soit simultanément visualisé par l'intermédiaire de l'icône correspondant sur le disque 23' dans le guichet 108 permet également d'améliorer la commodité d'usage; les réglages sont effectués de manière séquentielle, à chaque fois avec la couronne 103 après activation d'un mode déterminant sa fonction et les conséquences de sa rotation par pression sur le bouton poussoir 102. L'enclenchement de l'alarme nécessite ainsi, selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel décrit, trois pressions successives du bouton poussoir 102, ainsi que l'actionnement d'au moins 3 fois la couronne de réglage 103, respectivement pour le remontage du barillet, avant ou après les étapes de réglage, et les deux étapes de réglage de deux paramètres temporels distincts, ici une valeur de quantième de déclenchement 109' et une valeur d'horaire de déclenchement 110'.The fact that the activation of all adjustment modes A, B, C, D is simultaneously displayed via the corresponding icon on the disk 23 'in the

La synchronisation de la roue d'échéance de quantième 2 avec le quantième du mouvement de base est simplement assurée par l'engrenage mutuel de la deuxième roue dentée du programme de quantième du mouvement de base 12 avec la roue d'échéance de quantième 2, comme cela est particulièrement visible sur la
Le mouvement de base comprend deux roues des heures distinctes situées dans des plans différents: une première roue des heures 1061, et une deuxième roue des heures 1061', beaucoup plus grande, en prise avec la minuterie. La première roue des heures 1061 engrène sur la roue de 24 heures 1043, qui elle-même engrène sur la roue de transmission 1062, en prise avec la roue d'échéance horaire 8. La roue de transmission 1062 fait ainsi office de renvoi et assure la synchronisation permanente de la roue d'échéance horaire 8 avec la roue de 24 heures 1043, même en cas de réglage des aiguilles 106 et 106" des heures et des minutes du mouvement de base par l'intermédiaire de la couronne 105.The basic movement comprises two wheels of distinct hours located in different planes: a
