Definitions

  • the invention relates to a striking watch provided with a particular arrangement for striking at least one stamp.
  • Said striking watch comprises a striking mechanism with at least one stamp attached to a stamp holder, and at least one hammer intended to strike the stamp.
  • the stamp or stamps used are each constituted by a metal wire generally of circular shape and placed in a plane parallel to the dial of the watch.
  • the metal wire of each stamp is generally arranged around the movement, in the watch cage and above a plate on which the different parts of the movement are mounted.
  • One end or several ends of each patch is fixed, for example by brazing, to a stamp holder integral with the plate, for example, which may be unique for all the stamps.
  • the other end of each stamp may be generally free.
  • the striking mechanism of the watch also includes at least one hammer actuated at predetermined times.
  • the vibration of each stamp is produced by the impact of the corresponding hammer on the stamp near the stamp holder.
  • Each hammer generally performs a partial rotation in the plane of the stamp or stamps so as to strike the corresponding stamp and make it vibrate in its plane, that is to say in an X-Y plane parallel to the bottom or the dial of the watch. Part of the vibration of the stamp is still transmitted to the plate by the stamp holder.
  • the invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a ringing watch, which comprises a striking mechanism with a particular arrangement of the stamp (s) and the hammer or hammers likely to strike the or timbres at defined times, in order to produce more favorably audible vibrations.
  • the invention relates to a striking watch cited above, which comprises the features defined in the independent claim 1.
  • An advantage of the striking watch according to the invention lies in the fact that, with the particular arrangement of the striking mechanism, it makes it possible to increase the sound level.
  • the vibration of the stamp (s) in the vertical direction that is to say in the Z direction, is favored by the vertical strike of each hammer provided.
  • an increase in sound quality can be achieved with simple design timbres with well-defined partials to achieve a harmonious sound.
  • the figure 1 is a top view of a striking watch 1.
  • the watch comprises a well-known watch or watch movement, not shown, which is arranged under a watch face 5.
  • the watch also comprises a striking mechanism, which can be part of the watch movement.
  • This striking mechanism comprises at least one stamp 3 attached to a stamp holder 2, which is generally fixed on a platen of the watch movement.
  • the stamp is usually a wire or metal glass.
  • the patch 3 extends above the watch movement or parallel to the watch dial 5.
  • the mechanism further comprises at least one hammer 4 to strike the stamp in a vertical direction Z, that is to say in a direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the watch movement on a watch plate.
  • stamps 3, 3 ' fixed to the same stamp 2 may be provided.
  • These first and second stamps 3, 3' are intended to be each struck by a respective hammer 4, 4 '.
  • the first hammer 4 is intended to strike the first stamp 3 from below and in a vertical direction and preferably near the stamp holder 2, while the second hammer 4 'is intended to strike the second stamp 3' from below. and in a vertical direction and preferably also near the stamp holder 2.
  • the two hammers 4, 4 ' can be arranged to rotate about the same axis of rotation parallel to the watch face 5.
  • These hammers 4, 4' can strike each stamp 3, 3 ' in different or identical instants according to their actuation in the striking mechanism 10.
  • the two stamps 3, 3 ' may have two rectilinear portions extending in a diametrical direction or towards the center of the watch face 5, from the stamp holder 2, which is arranged near an inner wall of a middle part 8 of watch box.
  • the two stamps 3, 3 ' can be arranged above the watch face 5 as shown in FIG. figure 1 or in the same plane and next to the watch face. If the two timbres 3, 3 'are arranged above the watch face, the two rectilinear portions are preferably disposed on either side of a central axis 7 of the watch. Hour indication hands 6 are fixed on the central axis 7.
  • the first stamp 3 and / or the second stamp 3 ' may each comprise a circular portion starting from one end of each rectilinear portion.
  • One of the circular portions is disposed close to and coaxially with the inner wall of the middle part 8.
  • the other of the circular portions is oriented in a direction opposite to the first circular portion and in the same plane.
  • FIG. figure 3a A comparison between the particular arrangement of the striking mechanism according to the invention compared to a conventional arrangement of the striking mechanism is shown in FIG. figure 3a , it is a stamp strike traditionally in the plan and at the figure 3b it is a stamp striking in a vertical direction according to the invention.
