Description

PIECE D'HORLOGERIE COMPORTANT UN DISPOSITIF DE SONNERIE  CLOCK PIECE HAVING A RINGING DEVICE
La présente invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie comportant un dispositif de sonnerie mécanique. The present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a mechanical striking device.
Il est déjà connu de l'état de la technique des mécanismes de sonnerie, notamment la répétition minute, pour des montres mécaniques. En particulier, on relèvera qu'une telle pièce d'horlogerie conventionnelle comporte un mouvement et un mécanisme de sonnerie pour sonner les quarts du temps courant par deux sons différents. Le mécanisme de sonnerie comprend : It is already known from the state of the art of striking mechanisms, including minute repetition, for mechanical watches. In particular, it will be noted that such a conventional timepiece comprises a movement and a striking mechanism to ring quarter of the current time by two different sounds. The striking mechanism includes:
- une source d'énergie,  - a source of energy,
- un limaçon entraîné par le mouvement pour donner une information sur les quarts du temps courant,  - a snail driven by the movement to give information on the quarters of the current time,
- un palpeur pour coopérer avec ce limaçon pour prendre une information sur les quarts du temps courant, une première et une deuxième levées pour actionner respectivement un premier et un deuxième marteaux destinés à frapper respectivement un premier et un deuxième timbres.  - A probe for cooperating with the snail to take information on the quarter of the current time, a first and a second lift to actuate respectively a first and a second hammers for respectively striking a first and a second stamp.
Dans cette forme d'exécution conventionnelle, les marteaux pivotent dans un plan parallèle au plan du timbre, ceci, notamment pour un gain de place en termes d'épaisseur de la montre. EP2290479 décrit une montre incluant un dispositif de sonnerie comprenant un timbre présentant une poutre entourant un mouvement et s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan, un porte-timbre solidaire d'un bâti de la montre, le timbre étant fixé sur le porte-timbre, au moins un marteau pour venir frapper le timbre afin de produire une vibration dudit timbre, caractérisée en ce que le marteau est agencé pour venir frapper une surface d'impact du timbre qui est inclinée par rapport à la normale audit plan. Contrairement à la présente invention, la direction d'impact autrement dit la direction du mouvement du marteau, est parallèle au plan du timbre.  In this conventional embodiment, the hammers rotate in a plane parallel to the plane of the stamp, this, in particular to save space in terms of the thickness of the watch. EP2290479 discloses a watch including a striking device comprising a stamp having a beam surrounding a movement and extending substantially in a plane, a stamp holder integral with a frame of the watch, the stamp being fixed on the stamp holder, at least one hammer to strike the stamp to produce a vibration of said stamp, characterized in that the hammer is arranged to strike an impact surface of the stamp which is inclined relative to the normal said plane. Unlike the present invention, the direction of impact otherwise the direction of movement of the hammer, is parallel to the plane of the stamp.
Le but de la présente invention est de créer des pièces d'horlogerie comportant un dispositif de sonnerie mécanique innovant et à l'effet esthétique fort. Conformément à l'invention, une pièce d'horlogerie comprend un dispositif de sonnerie comportant au moins un râteau destiné à coopérer avec au moins une première pièce, entraînant une seconde pièce solidaire d'une goupille coopérant avec une troisième pièce, solidaire d'un marteau, pour actionner au moins un marteau, le marteau frappant alors un timbre s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan A en se déplaçant selon un plan B différent du plan A du timbre. The object of the present invention is to create timepieces comprising an innovative mechanical striking device and with a strong aesthetic effect. According to the invention, a timepiece comprises a striking device comprising at least one rake intended to cooperate with at least a first part, driving a second part secured to a pin cooperating with a third part, integral with a hammer, to actuate at least one hammer, the hammer then striking a stamp extending substantially in a plane A moving in a plane B different from the plane A of the stamp.
Un tel dispositif de sonnerie peut être utilisé pour tout type de sonnerie, comme par exemple une sonnerie des heures, une sonnerie des minutes, une sonnerie des quarts et ce, quelle que soit la configuration envisagée (sonnerie au passage, à la demande, ...) ou alors pour une mélodie. Such a ringing device can be used for any type of ringing, such as an hour bell, a minute ring, a quarter ring and this, whatever the configuration envisaged (ringing in passing, on demand,. ..) or so for a melody.

La description qui suit, concerne un mécanisme de sonnerie pour sonner les quarts, et elle est donnée à titre d'exemple et sert de support pour la présente invention. The following description relates to a striking mechanism for ringing quarters, and is given by way of example and serves as a support for the present invention.
Selon une forme d'exécution de l'invention, illustrée en figure 1 , la montre- bracelet comprend un dispositif de sonnerie comportant un râteau des quarts 1 , une levée des quarts 2, une levée inverseuse 3, un marteau 4 et un timbre 5. On appellera, dans la suite de la description, plan A, le plan du timbre 5 et plan B, le plan dans lequel se déplace le marteau 4. According to one embodiment of the invention, illustrated in FIG. 1, the wristwatch comprises a striking device comprising a quarter rake 1, a quarter lift 2, an inverting lever 3, a hammer 4 and a stamp 5 In the remainder of the description, plane A, the plane of the stamp 5 and plane B, will be called the plane in which the hammer 4 moves.
Comme illustré dans la figure 2, au moins un râteau pivotant 1 est destiné à coopérer avec au moins une première pièce 2, dite levée des quarts. As illustrated in Figure 2, at least one pivoting rake 1 is intended to cooperate with at least a first part 2, called lift quarters.
La levée des quarts 2 entraine une seconde pièce 3, dite levée inverseuse, et est solidaire d'une goupille 32 coopérant avec une troisième pièce 41 , solidaire du marteau 4, pour actionner au moins un marteau 4 (figure 4). Cette troisième pièce 41 peut par exemple être une goupille ou un excentrique comme illustré dans la figure 4. The lifting of quarters 2 causes a second part 3, called inverting lift, and is secured to a pin 32 cooperating with a third part 41, integral with the hammer 4, to actuate at least one hammer 4 (Figure 4). This third piece 41 may for example be a pin or an eccentric as illustrated in FIG.
Le marteau 4 frappe un timbre 5 s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan A en se déplaçant selon un plan B qui intercepte le plan A du timbre 5. The hammer 4 strikes a stamp 5 extending substantially in a plane A by moving along a plane B which intercepts the plane A of the stamp 5.
Comme illustré de manière bien visible, notamment sur la figure 3, le râteau 1 est un râteau des quarts comportant une première et une seconde série de trois dents. As shown clearly, particularly in Figure 3, the rake 1 is a quarter rake having a first and a second series of three teeth.
Selon cette forme d'exécution, la levée des quarts 2 et la levée inverseuse 3 sont coaxiales (figure 3). According to this embodiment, the lifting of the shifts 2 and the inverting lift 3 are coaxial (FIG. 3).
Le marteau 4 frappe sur le timbre 5 en se déplaçant, de préférence, selon une direction perpendiculaire par rapport au plan A dudit timbre 5 (figure 5). Dans une variante, le marteau 4 frappe sur le timbre 5 en se déplaçant selon un plan incliné, la condition principale étant que le plan A, plan dudit timbre, et le plan B s'interceptent. The hammer 4 strikes the stamp 5 by moving, preferably, in a direction perpendicular to the plane A of said stamp 5 (Figure 5). In a variant, the hammer 4 strikes the stamp 5 by moving along an inclined plane, the main condition being that the plane A, plane of said stamp, and the plane B are intercepted.
Comme illustré dans la figure 6, une montre-bracelet comporte deux marteaux 4 disposés parallèles l'un de l'autre, chaque marteau 4 venant frapper verticalement sur un timbre 5 bien distinct. Les deux timbres 5 sont de même longueur mais dans une variante, ils peuvent être de longueur différente et fixés à un ou plusieurs porte- timbres 6. As illustrated in FIG. 6, a wristwatch comprises two hammers 4 arranged parallel to one another, each hammer 4 striking vertically on a distinct stamp 5. The two stamps 5 are of the same length, but in a variant they may be of different length and attached to one or more stamp holders 6.
Dans une autre forme d'exécution, illustrée dans la figure 7, plusieurs marteaux 4 sont répartis selon des directions radiales autour d'un centre géométrique de la pièce d'horlogerie. Dans cette forme d'exécution, on distingue par exemple quatre marteaux 4 qui viennent frapper verticalement sur quatre timbres 5. Les quatre timbres 5 sont fixés à l'une de leurs extrémités au même porte timbre 6, contrairement à la figure 6 dans laquelle chaque timbre 5 est fixé par une de ses extrémités à un porte-timbre 6 différent. In another embodiment, illustrated in Figure 7, several hammers 4 are distributed in radial directions around a geometric center of the timepiece. In this embodiment, there are for example four hammers 4 which strike vertically on four stamps 5. The four stamps 5 are fixed at one of their ends to the same stamp holder 6, contrary to Figure 6 in which each stamp 5 is fixed by one of its ends to a different stamp holder 6.
Comme illustré dans la figure 8, une pluralité de timbres 5 sont disposés à la circonférence de la pièce d'horlogerie et espacés radialement les uns des autres. Chaque timbre 5 correspond à un marteau 4 qui s'étend jusqu'à ce timbre 5. Les marteaux 4 peuvent être de la même longueur ou de longueur différente comme c'est le cas dans l'exemple illustré. As illustrated in FIG. 8, a plurality of stamps 5 are arranged at the circumference of the timepiece and spaced radially from one another. Each stamp 5 corresponds to a hammer 4 which extends to this stamp 5. The hammers 4 may be of the same length or different length as is the case in the illustrated example.
Une variante simple est de prévoir une montre-bracelet comportant un tel dispositif de sonnerie dans laquelle un seul marteau 4 frapperait un seul timbre 5. A simple variant is to provide a wristwatch with such a striking device in which a single hammer 4 would hit a single stamp 5.
Chaque marteau 4 est constitué d'une tige 7, ledit marteau 4 pivotant selon un axe de rotation situé soit à l'extrémité libre de la tige 7 comme illustré par exemple dans la figure 5, soit à un point intermédiaire de la longueur de la tige 7. Each hammer 4 consists of a rod 7, said hammer 4 pivoting about an axis of rotation located either at the free end of the rod 7 as illustrated for example in Figure 5, or at an intermediate point of the length of the stem 7.
A partir de la description qui vient d'être faite, plusieurs variantes du mécanisme de sonnerie d'une pièce d'horlogerie munie d'un marteau 4 peuvent être envisagées, par exemple, en se déplaçant selon un plan différent du plan du timbre 5 sur lequel le marteau 4 vient frapper. From the description that has just been given, several variants of the striking mechanism of a timepiece provided with a hammer 4 can be envisaged, for example, by moving in a plane different from the plane of the stamp. on which hammer 4 hits.
