Definitions

  • the invention relates to a keyboard for a small music box, which can be in the form of a wristwatch.
  • the invention also relates to a music box, which includes at least one such keyboard including a musical wristwatch.
  • This music module includes at least one keyboard.
  • This keyboard is composed of several metal blades arranged parallel to each other in a plane and connected to a heel fixed to a watch plate. Each blade is capable of producing a tone of a specific tone depending on its length.
  • the blades are activated by pins of a rotating disk. The pins distributed on the rotating disk can lift or flex at least some of the blades and release them to vibrate, to generate music.
  • Acoustic performance such as the duration of the vibration of the activated blade (s) depends on several factors. These factors concern the geometry of each blade, such as the height and length, the properties of the material, such as modulus of elasticity, density and internal damping, heat treatment or clamping or fixing the keyboard.
  • the vibration duration of the activated blades can become low because the internal friction in the watch becomes large compared to the effective mass of the keyboard.
  • Even at best performing a keyboard of a musical module taking into account the aforementioned factors it becomes difficult to optimize the vibration duration of activated blades of the keyboard of a music box in the form of a watch, without obtaining any effects. desired.
  • the invention therefore aims to provide a keyboard for a music box, whose blades are configured to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art mentioned above.
  • the invention relates to a keyboard for a music box, comprising the characteristics, which are defined in the independent claim 1.
  • the keyboard of a music box is composed of a set of pairs of blades, where each pair of blades forms a tuning fork.
  • vibration propagation also occurs for the other blade of the pair through a longitudinal wave.
  • the vibration of the pair of blades can be easily guided to at least one radiant part of the music box, which can be in the form of a wristwatch.
  • a radiant part may be a plate or an acoustic membrane.
  • An improvement in the acoustic intensity is noted by the vibration of one or more pairs of blades.
  • a better sound purity of the sound produced by the keyboard is produced, because only one clean mode of each pair of blades in vibration, propagates towards the radiant parts.
  • the invention also relates to a music box, which comprises the keyboard, and having the characteristics defined in the independent claim 10.
  • FIG. 1 it is represented in a simplified manner a three-dimensional view of a keyboard 1 for a music box, which can be in the form of a wristwatch.
  • the keyboard 1 is part of a musical module of a music box or possibly a mechanism for ringing a watch to generate music in specified periods.
  • the keyboard 1 comprises a set of pairs of blades 3, 3 '.
  • One end of each pair of blades is attached to the same heel 2, which can be fixed for example on a plate or a plate in the music box or in the case of a musical watch.
  • the blades are made of material with the heel 2 to form a single piece of the same material.
  • the material may be for example a metallic material, such as steel or copper, or a precious metal such as gold, or also a material of amorphous structure, such as metallic glass.
  • a free end of one of the blades 3, 3 'further comprises a member 4 in the form of a cam, which defines a ramp.
  • the ramp preferably defines an acute angle slope relative to the free end of the blade 3 '.
  • An activating member such as a pin, can come into contact with the ramp of the cam 4 so as to lift or bend the blade 3 ', during the displacement of said activation member in a plane parallel to the blade 3 'and in the direction of the free end of the blade. Once the activation member is moved past said cam 4, the blade 3 'is released to vibrate with propagation of the vibration to the other blade 3 as for a tuning fork.
  • the pairs of blades 3, 3 ' can be arranged parallel to one another.
  • the two blades 3, 3 'of each pair are preferably arranged at an equivalent distance from the two blades of an adjacent pair.
  • the blades of all the pairs are arranged in the same plane.
  • Each blade may be of a rectilinear shape with a rectangular or circular cross-section or the like, which may be identical over the entire length of the blade. However, the cross-section may also vary progressively or discontinuously along the length of each blade.
  • the length of the two blades of each pair may be preferably equivalent to define a tuning fork, but may also be of different size.
  • All the pairs of blades 3, 3 'of the keyboard 1 are dimensioned so as to generally produce a different note for each pair, when each pair is activated by a specific activation member of the musical module. However, it can also be expected to have certain groups of pairs of two blades, which are likely to produce the same particular note.
  • Each activation member in function as explained below with reference to Figures 2a to 2c , allows to vibrate one of the two blades of an activated pair.
  • the vibration of one of the activated blades 3 ' is propagates to the other blade 3 of the tuning fork pair by a longitudinal wave. This makes it possible to improve the acoustic intensity of each activated pair.
  • a better sound purity of the sound generated by the keyboard is obtained since a single mode of vibration of each pair of blades in vibration, propagates towards the radiant parts of the musical watch.
  • the Figures 2a to 2c represent different stages of the operation of the musical module provided with the keyboard according to the invention for the production of a music.
  • the musical module represented summarily comprises in addition to the keyboard 1, also a cylinder or disk 10 on which are distributed a number of pins 11 as an activation member.
  • the cylinder or disk 10 are arranged so as to rotate about an axis of rotation, in particular perpendicular to the arrangement of the blades of all pairs of blades 3, 3 '.
  • the pins 11 are distributed over the cylinder or disk 10 so as to produce specific music when controlling the rotation of the cylinder or disk and the successive activation of different pairs of blades 3, 3 '.
  • the disk 10 which is arranged parallel to all the blades of the pairs of blades 3, 3 ', is rotated about an axis perpendicular to all the pairs of blades.
  • the disc comprises a plurality of pins 11 on one face of the disc facing blades 3, 3 ', and distributed for the production of a specific music.
  • One of the pins 11 near the cam-shaped element 4 points towards the free end of a blade 3 'of the pair of blades shown without yet being in contact with the ramp of the cam 4.
  • the pin 11 which was previously in contact with the cam 4 of the blade 3 ', is moved beyond said cam, which has the effect of releasing the blade 3', which starts to vibrate for the production of 'a definite note.
  • the vibration generated in the blade 3 ' also propagates to the other blade 3 of the tuning fork pair by a longitudinal wave.
  • the vibration of the pair of blades is advantageously transmitted to the display parts of the watch for good acoustic radiation of the sound produced.
  • the disk 10 or the cylinder can be mounted on the platen of the watch movement.
  • Several or more pin rolls 11 may also be provided, if multiple sets of blade pairs are attached from different side surfaces of the bead.
  • each blade of the pairs of blades may not be straight, but define at least one curve.
  • the blades of curvilinear shape can be arranged coaxially around a pin cylinder.
  • the blades of each pair can be removably attached to the heel to be able to change one or more pairs depending on the music to be produced.
