Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Les mécanismes de sonnerie d'horlogerie sont de grandes complications, complexes autant par le nombre et la complexité des cinématiques de leurs composants, que selon les modes de fonctionnement dont ils sont capables. Pour les montres comportant des complications supplémentaires telle que répétition minutes, la gestion des sécurités est très complexe, et il est difficile de bloquer des sonneries au passage pour laisser jouer une répétition minutes, ou à l'inverse de bloquer le lancement d'une répétition minutes à l'approche d'une sonnerie au passage, d'empêcher le relancement d'une répétition minutes lorsqu'un cycle de répétition vient d'être lancé, d'empêcher un réglage de minuterie pendant l'exécution d'une sonnerie, ou autre, ces sécurités mettent généralement en oeuvre un assez grand nombre d'isolateurs, ce qui complexifie encore le mécanisme et les risques d'interférence.Watchmaking mechanisms are great complications, as complex as the number and complexity of their cutscenes components, only according to the modes of operation of which they are capable. For watches with additional complications such as minute repetition, security management is very complex, and it is difficult to block ringtones in passing to let play a minute repeater, or conversely to block the launch of a rehearsal minutes when approaching a bell in passing, to prevent the restart of a minute repetition when a repetition cycle has just been started, to prevent a timer setting during the execution of a ring, or other, these safeties usually implement a large number of insulators, which further complicates the mechanism and the risks of interference.

Unless necessary, these basic mechanisms will not be repeated here in detail, the ringtones specialist will find its constitution in this universal reference book, especially in the last two chapters cited above.

Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 selon l'invention comporte, de façon classique, au moins un mobile de référence 1, et de préférence une pluralité de mobiles de référence 1, comportant les limaçons et/ou étoiles de référence temporelle, et notamment un limaçon des minutes, un limaçon des quarts, un limaçon des heures 190.The striking mechanism 100 according to the invention comprises, in a conventional manner, at least one reference mobile 1, and preferably a plurality of reference mobiles 1, comprising the snails and / or time reference stars, and in particular a snail of minutes, a snail of quarters, a snail of hours 190.

Ce mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte encore au moins un mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, tel qu'exposé notamment au chapitre « grande sonnerie » de l'ouvrage « Les montres compliquées » et visible notamment en figure 40 de cet ouvrage. Ce mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2 comporte classiquement un rochet de détente 22 et un pignon de crémaillère 24.This ringing mechanism 100 also comprises at least one ring-driving mobile 2, as described in particular in the "big ring" chapter of the book "Complicated watches" and visible in particular in FIG. 40 of this work. This mobile ringing driver 2 conventionally comprises a trigger ratchet 22 and a rack pinion 24.

Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 coopère avec un mouvement 200, qui entraîne le ou les mobiles de référence 1, et dont une sortie 3 particulière est illustrée sur les figures, sous la forme non limitative d'une étoile 130 de déclenchement de sonnerie par le mouvement, ajustée sur une chaussée, et comportant quatre dents, de façon à pouvoir soulever, à chaque quart d'heure, une bascule intermédiaire de déclenchement par le mouvement, dénommée ci-après levée 70.The striking mechanism 100 cooperates with a movement 200, which drives the mobile or mobile reference 1, and a particular output 3 is illustrated in the figures, in the non-limiting form of a star 130 ringing trigger movement , adjusted on a roadway, and having four teeth, so as to be able to lift, every quarter of an hour, an intermediate lever trigger by the movement, hereinafter called raised 70.

Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte au moins une pièce pivotante, qui est agencée pour coopérer indirectement, par l'intermédiaire de cette levée 70, avec la sortie 3 du mouvement 200, et notamment comporte un palpeur de lecture d'un tel mobile de référence 1 et un râteau d'entraînement du pignon de crémaillère 24. Une de ces pièces pivotantes est une pièce des heures 20 agencée pour coopérer avec le limaçon des heures 190. Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte encore un cliquet principal 85, qui est agencé pour être mis en mouvement lors de chaque sonnerie au passage, et pour venir entraîner, quand c'est possible, le rochet de détente 22.The striking mechanism 100 comprises at least one pivoting part, which is arranged to cooperate indirectly, via this lift 70, with the output 3 of the movement 200, and in particular comprises a reading probe of such a reference mobile. 1 and a rake driving the rack pinion 24. One of these pivoting parts is a part of the hours 20 arranged to cooperate with the snail hours 190. The ringer mechanism 100 further comprises a main ratchet 85, which is arranged to be set in motion at each ringing pass, and to come to train, when possible, the trigger ratchet 22.

Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 selon l'invention comporte tout ou partie des modes de sonnerie principaux : grande sonnerie, petite sonnerie, réveil, silence, et comporte plus particulièrement un mécanisme de répétition, notamment un mécanisme de répétition à minutes, tel qu'exposé notamment au chapitre «répétition à minutes» de l'ouvrage « Les montres compliquées ».The striking mechanism 100 according to the invention comprises all or part of the main ringing modes: big ring, small ring, waking, silence, and more particularly includes a repetition mechanism, including a minute repeater mechanism, as explained especially in the chapter "repetition to minutes" of the book "Complicated watches".

La variante non limitative illustrée par les figures comporte trois modes de sonnerie : grande sonnerie (GS), petite sonnerie (PS), silence (S), et une répétition à minutes. Ce mécanisme de répétition à minutes comporte notamment une pièce des heures 20, agencée pour coopérer, avec un palpeur 29 qu'elle comporte, avec un limaçon des heures 190.The nonlimiting variant illustrated by the figures comprises three ringing modes: big ring (GS), small ring (PS), silence (S), and a minute repeater. This minute repetition mechanism comprises in particular a part of the hours 20, arranged to cooperate, with a probe 29 which it comprises, with a snail of hours 190.

La désactivation de la sonnerie en mode silence permet d'éloigner les cliquets du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, et permet d'empêcher l'accès de la pièce des heures au limaçon correspondant.The deactivation of the ringer in silence mode makes it possible to keep the pawls of the ringer coaching mobile 2 away, and makes it possible to prevent access of the hours room to the corresponding snail.

De façon particulière, le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte une répétition à minutes avec une commande de répétition minutes 4 comportant un cliquet de répétition 40, lequel est agencé pour entraîner le rochet de détente 22 après une lecture effectuée par ladite pièce des heures 20 sur le limaçon des heures 190. Et, dans le mode silence, le bras principal 64 de la bascule de silence 60 autorise l'accès du cliquet de répétition 40 au rochet de détente 22, tant que l'énergie disponible est suffisante pour l'exécution d'une sonnerie complète.In particular, the striking mechanism 100 comprises a minute repeater with a minute repetition command 4 comprising a repetition pawl 40, which is arranged to drive the trigger ratchet 22 after a reading made by said hour piece 20 on the 120. And, in the silent mode, the main arm 64 of the silence rocker 60 allows the access of the repeat pawl 40 to the trigger ratchet 22, as long as the available energy is sufficient for the execution of a complete ring.

Dans une exécution particulière, le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte un mode de grande sonnerie pour la sonnerie au passage de chaque heure, et de chaque quart d'heure avec la répétition de sonnerie de l'heure au quart d'heure, et un mode de petite sonnerie pour la sonnerie au passage de chaque heure, et de chaque quart d'heure sans la répétition de sonnerie de l'heure au quart d'heure. Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte alors une bascule de petite sonnerie 80, qui est agencée pour, quand le mode de petite sonnerie est sélectionné, orienter la bascule de petite sonnerie 80 dans une position dans laquelle celle-ci interdit le passage de la pièce des heures 20 vers le limaçon des heures 190, pour empêcher la sonnerie des heures aux quarts d'heure.In a particular embodiment, the ringing mechanism 100 includes a large ring mode for the ringing at the passage of each hour, and each quarter of an hour with the repetition of ringing the hour quarter of an hour, and a mode of small ring for the ringer at the passage of each hour, and each quarter of an hour without the repetition of ringing the hour to quarter of an hour. The striking mechanism 100 then comprises a small ring rocker 80, which is arranged for, when the small ring mode is selected, orient the small ring rocker 80 in a position in which it prohibits the passage of the room of the hours 20 o'clock to the snail of the hours 190, to prevent the hour ringing at quarters of hour.

Quand, dans ce même agencement, le mode de grande sonnerie est sélectionné, la bascule de petite sonnerie 80 est orientée dans une autre position dans laquelle celle-ci autorise le passage de la pièce des heures 20 vers le limaçon des heures 190, pour autoriser la sonnerie au passage des heures aux quarts d'heure.When, in this same arrangement, the large ring mode is selected, the small ring rocker 80 is oriented in another position in which it allows the passage of the hour room 20 to the snail hours 190, to allow the bell at the passage of the hours to quarters of hour.

Pour différencier la sonnerie au passage des heures et des quarts d'heure, le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte avantageusement, coaxiale à une étoile 130 de quatre entraînée par la sortie 3 et qui est agencée pour déclencher au passage les sonneries aux quarts d'heure, une came d'heure 131 en forme de larme, comportant une pointe 132 qui est agencée pour soulever la bascule de petite sonnerie 80, et autoriser le passage de la pièce des heures 20 vers le limaçon des heures 190.To differentiate between the ringer and the passage of hours and quarters of an hour, the ringer mechanism 100 advantageously comprises, coaxial with a star 130 of four driven by the output 3 and which is arranged to trigger the ringtones at the quarter-hour intervals , a teardrop-shaped hour cam 131 having a tip 132 which is arranged to lift the small ring rocker 80, and allow the passage of the hour part 20 to the hours snail 190.

La sélection d'un mode de sonnerie particulier n'entrave pas le fonctionnement de la répétition à minutes, et notamment en mode silence, sauf quand, de façon avantageuse, le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte une fonction particulière d'arrêtage agencée pour prévenir l'exécution de toute sonnerie si la quantité d'énergie disponible est insuffisante pour en assurer l'exécution complète: le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte alors avantageusement un mécanisme d'arrêtage 5, qui est agencé pour empêcher l'exécution de toute sonnerie, afin de prévenir le risque que présente l'arrêt de certains mobiles dans des positions intermédiaires, susceptibles d'entraîner des collisions lors d'un redémarrage. Dans le seul cas où la fonction d'arrêtage est efficiente, le fonctionnement de la répétition à minutes est aussi interdit.The selection of a particular ringing mode does not hinder the operation of the minute repeater, especially in silence mode, except when, advantageously, the ringing mechanism 100 has a particular stop function arranged to prevent the execution of any ringing if the amount of available energy is insufficient to ensure complete execution: the striking mechanism 100 then advantageously comprises a stopping mechanism 5, which is arranged to prevent the execution of any ringing, so to prevent the risk of stopping certain mobiles in intermediate positions, which could lead to collisions during a restart. In the only case where the stop function is efficient, the operation of the minute repeater is also prohibited.

Ce mécanisme d'arrêtage 5 est agencé pour faire pivoter une bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59, notamment quand l'énergie disponible est insuffisante pour l'exécution d'une sonnerie complète. Cette bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 commande le pivotement d'un levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55, qui est agencé pour empêcher l'accès du cliquet de répétition 40 au rochet de détente 22 quand l'énergie disponible est insuffisante pour l'exécution d'une sonnerie complète, et pour éloigner le cliquet principal 85 du rochet de détente 22 quand l'énergie disponible est insuffisante pour l'exécution d'une sonnerie complète.This stopping mechanism 5 is arranged to rotate a ring inversion flip-flop 59, especially when the available energy is insufficient for the execution of a complete ring. This ring reversal rocker 59 controls the pivoting of a striking clutch lever 55, which is arranged to prevent the access of the repeat pawl 40 to the trigger ratchet 22 when the available energy is insufficient to perform a complete ring, and to move the main pawl 85 of the trigger ratchet 22 when the available energy is insufficient to perform a complete ring.

Contrairement à une répétition minutes commandée et alimentée en énergie de façon instantanée par l'action d'un utilisateur sur une targette, un poussoir, ou similaire, la grande sonnerie est alimentée en énergie par un réservoir d'énergie, notamment au moins un barillet, intérieur à la montre. Différentes configurations de stockage d'énergie sont possibles, selon le volume disponible à l'intérieur de la montre : un barillet unique alimentant à la fois le mouvement et les sonneries, ou un barillet dédié au mouvement et un ou plusieurs barillets dédiés aux sonneries, pour lesquelles la consommation d'énergie est toujours importante. Le dispositif de stockage n'est pas détaillé ici, les dessins montrent un mobile de sortie indicateur de réserve de marche de sonnerie 35, qui constitue la sortie d'un mécanisme différentiel, et dit ci-après plus simplement mobile de marche 35, connu de l'homme du métier. Plus particulièrement, ce mobile de marche 35 comporte plusieurs roues et pignons coaxiaux et assemblés par friction.Unlike a minute repeater controlled and powered instantaneously by the action of a user on a bolt, a pusher, or the like, the big ring is powered by an energy reservoir, including at least one barrel , inside the watch. Different energy storage configurations are possible, depending on the volume available inside the watch: a single barrel feeding both movement and ringtones, or a barrel dedicated to the movement and one or more barrels dedicated to ringtones, for which energy consumption is always important. The storage device is not detailed here, the drawings show a ringing power reserve indicator output mobile 35, which constitutes the output of a differential mechanism, and hereinafter more simply known as a walking device 35, known of the skilled person. More particularly, this walking wheel 35 comprises several wheels and coaxial wheels and assembled by friction.

Ce mobile de marche 35 engrène avec une roue d'arrêtage 33, laquelle comporte une lumière oblongue 34, dite aussi ganse. Un doigt d'arrêtage 30 est monté coaxial à la roue d'arrêtage 33, et ce doigt 30 comporte une goupille d'arrêtage 31, qui est mobile de façon limitée dans la lumière oblongue 34, et une pointe 32.This walking mobile 35 meshes with a stopping wheel 33, which comprises an oblong slot 34, also called a loop. A stop finger 30 is mounted coaxially with the stop wheel 33, and this finger 30 comprises a stop pin 31, which is limited in the oblong slot 34, and a tip 32.

Un sautoir d'arrêtage 36 est positionné face à ce doigt d'arrêtage 30, il est rappelé par un premier ressort 38, dans le sens anti-horaire des figures. Dans une autre variante le sautoir d'arrêtage 36 peut être monobloc avec ce ressort 38.A stopper 36 is positioned facing this stopper 30, it is recalled by a first spring 38, in the counterclockwise direction of the figures. In another variant, the locking jumper 36 may be integral with this spring 38.

La pointe 32 du doigt d'arrêtage 30 est agencée pour suivre un chant de ce sautoir d'arrêtage 36. En particulier dans la variante des figures, ce sautoir d'arrêtage 36 comporte, au niveau de ce chant, un bec 37, entouré par une première surface 37A et une deuxième surface 37B, ici sensiblement planes, et qui ne sont pas alignées (dans l'exemple non limitatif des figures elles font entre elles un angle d'environ 120°) : le parcours de la pointe 32 comporte ainsi, quel que soit le sens de ce parcours, une pente ascendante à l'encontre du couple d'un ressort, un passage par le bec 37, et une pente descendante au-delà de ce bec 37.The tip 32 of the stop finger 30 is arranged to follow a song of this stopper 36. In particular in the variant of the figures, this jumper 29 includes, at this edge, a spout 37, surrounded by a first surface 37A and a second surface 37B, here substantially planar, and which are not aligned (in the nonlimiting example of the figures they make an angle of about 120 ° between them): the path of the tip 32 comprises thus, whatever the direction of this path, an upward slope against the torque of a spring, a passage through the spout 37, and a downward slope beyond this spout 37.

Le mécanisme d'arrêtage 5 comporte encore une bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17, qui est agencée pour commander un changement de position du levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55, lors d'un saut instantané de cette bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17, dès que le niveau d'énergie disponible au niveau desdits moyens de stockage franchit un seuil prédéfini : dans un premier sens pour le débrayage de la sonnerie, quand l'énergie dans les moyens de stockage est inférieure à ce seuil, ou à l'inverse dans le sens opposé pour ré-autoriser le fonctionnement d'une sonnerie, quand l'énergie dans les moyens de stockage est redevient supérieure à ce seuil prédéfini.The stop mechanism 5 further comprises a ring lock control latch 17, which is arranged to control a change of position of the ring release lever 55, during an instantaneous jump of this ring lock control latch. 17, as soon as the level of energy available at said storage means exceeds a predefined threshold: in a first direction for disengaging the buzzer, when the energy in the storage means is below this threshold, or inverse in the opposite direction to re-authorize the operation of a ring, when the energy in the storage means is again greater than this predefined threshold.

Cette bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17 comporte, à une première extrémité une fourchette 19 agencée pour entourer la goupille d'arrêtage 31, et, sous cette fourchette 19, un ergot 179, qui est agencé pour coopérer avec un deuxième ressort 39, ou avec un sautoir que commande ce deuxième ressort 39, procurant à la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17 un comportement bistable, comme on le verra plus loin dans l'exposé du fonctionnement. Naturellement le deuxième ressort de débrayage 39 peut, dans une variante, être réalisé de façon monobloc avec la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17.This ring latch control lever 17 comprises at a first end a fork 19 arranged to surround the locking pin 31, and, under this fork 19, a pin 179, which is arranged to cooperate with a second spring 39, or with a jumper that controls the second spring 39, providing the latch control bell ring 17 bistable behavior, as will be seen later in the discussion of operation. Naturally, the second clutch spring 39 may, in a variant, be made in one piece with the latch control lever 17.

La bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17 comporte, à une deuxième extrémité opposée, un bras de commande 18. Ce bras de commande 18 est en appui sur une goupille 16 que comporte la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59, qui est elle-même articulée d'un premier côté avec le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55.The latch control latch 17 comprises, at a second opposite end, a control arm 18. This control arm 18 bears on a pin 16 that includes the ring reversal rocker 59, which is itself even hinged on one side with the clutch release lever 55.

La bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 est articulée d'un deuxième côté avec une bascule de débrayage 12, rappelée par un ressort de débrayage 13, et coopérant avec une tirette 11 coopérant classiquement avec la tige 10 de commande de mise à l'heure et de remontage de la montre. Naturellement le ressort de débrayage 13 peut, dans une variante, être réalisé de façon monobloc avec la bascule de débrayage 12. La bascule de débrayage 12 porte avantageusement un indicateur 14, tel qu'un volet visible à travers un guichet tel que visible sur la figure 15, ou encore tel qu'une aiguille face à des pictogrammes ou similaire, ou tout autre système d'affichage convenable, destiné à avertir très simplement l'opérateur de la disponibilité ou non des sonneries.The ring reversal rocker 59 is articulated on a second side with a release lever 12, recalled by a release spring 13, and cooperating with a pull tab 11 cooperating conventionally with the rod 10 control time setting and winding the watch. Naturally, the clutch spring 13 may, in a variant, be made in one piece with the disengagement lever 12. The disengagement lever 12 advantageously carries an indicator 14, such as a flap visible through a window as visible on the figure 15 , or such as a needle facing pictograms or the like, or any other suitable display system, to simply warn the operator of the availability or not the ringtones.

Les figures 15 à 32 exposent la cinématique du mécanisme d'arrêtage 5, qui fonctionne de façon réversible, les figures 33 à 36 illustrant la manoeuvre inverse.The Figures 15 to 32 expose the kinematics of the stop mechanism 5, which functions reversibly, the Figures 33 to 36 illustrating the reverse maneuver.

Depuis la position initiale de la figure 15, le mobile de marche 35 entraîne la roue d'arrêtage 33, jusqu'à ce que, tel que visible sur la figure 19, la lumière oblongue 34 vienne au contact de la goupille d'arrêtage 31, entraînant alors en pivotement le doigt d'arrêtage 30, qui est au contact par sa pointe 32 avec la première surface 37A du sautoir d'arrêtage 36, dont est proche un de ses flancs 30A. Le doigt d'arrêtage 30, ainsi entraîné indirectement par le mobile de marche 35, doit vaincre la pente ascendante que représente cette première surface 37A et le couple imposé par le premier ressort 38.Since the initial position of figure 15 , the walking wheel 35 drives the stopping wheel 33, until, as visible on the figure 19 , the oblong slot 34 comes into contact with the locking pin 31, then pivoting the locking pin 30, which is in contact with its tip 32 with the first surface 37A of the stopper 36, which is close one of its flanks 30A. The stop finger 30, thus driven indirectly by the walking wheel 35, must overcome the upward slope represented by this first surface 37A and the torque imposed by the first spring 38.

Après avoir parcouru un angle d'environ 20°, la pointe 32 du doigt d'arrêtage 30 vient au sommet 37 de la pente de la première surface 37A du sautoir d'arrêtage 36, tel que visible sur la figure 20. A ce stade la goupille d'arrêtage 31 n'est pas encore en contact avec le bord de la fourchette 19 de la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17.After having traveled at an angle of about 20 °, the tip 32 of the stop finger 30 comes to the top 37 of the slope of the first surface 37A of the locking jumper 36, as visible on the figure 20 . At this stage the locking pin 31 is not yet in contact with the edge of the fork 19 of the latch control lever 17.

La coopération du doigt d'arrêtage 30 et du sautoir d'arrêtage 36 permet d'amener la goupille d'arrêtage 31 en appui sur cette fourchette 19, pour commander un pivotement brusque de la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17 par changement instantané de position d'un ergot 179 que comporte cette dernière par rapport à un deuxième ressort 39 : dès que la pointe 32 du doigt d'arrêtage 30 a dépassé le sommet 37, et vient en contact avec la deuxième surface 37B du sautoir d'arrêtage 36, la goupille d'arrêtage 31 vient en contact avec le bord de la fourchette 19. Le deuxième ressort 39 comporte une pointe 390 qui passe d'un côté à l'autre de l'ergot 179 de la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17, dont le deuxième ressort 39 provoque ainsi le renversement.The cooperation of the stop finger 30 and the snap-hook 36 makes it possible to bring the locking pin 31 to bear on this fork 19, to control a sudden pivoting of the latch control lever 17 by instantaneous change. a position of a lug 179 that includes the latter relative to a second spring 39: as soon as the tip 32 of the stop finger 30 has passed the top 37, and comes into contact with the second surface 37B of the jumper 36, the locking pin 31 comes into contact with the edge of the fork 19. The second spring 39 has a tip 390 which passes from one side to the other of the lug 179 of the latch control lever. ring 17, the second spring 39 and causes reversal.

Ce deuxième ressort 39 constitue ainsi un sautoir de commande de verrou de sonnerie, qui est agencé pour contraindre la fourchette 19 de la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17 en appui sur un étoqueau 7, de préférence un de chaque côté de la fourchette 19, ou sur une paroi de limitation, dans chacune des deux positions que peut occuper la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17, lui procurant son caractère bistable.This second spring 39 thus constitutes a ring lock control jumper, which is arranged to constrain the fork 19 of the ring latch control lever 17 against a star 7, preferably one on each side of the fork 19 , or on a limiting wall, in each of the two positions that can occupy the latch control latch 17, giving it its bistable character.

Le doigt d'arrêtage 30 parcourt environ 20° supplémentaires avant l'arrivée dans la position finale d'arrêt de la figure 29, où la goupille d'arrêtage 31 est en appui sur l'autre extrémité de la fourchette 19, le deuxième flanc 30B du doigt d'arrêtage 30 étant contact avec la deuxième surface 37B du sautoir d'arrêtage 36. Dans cette position finale la fourchette 19 est en appui contre l'étoqueau 7.The stop finger 30 travels about 20 ° further before the arrival in the final stop position of the figure 29 , where the locking pin 31 is resting on the other end of the fork 19, the second side 30B of the locking finger 30 being in contact with the second surface 37B of the locking jumper 36. In this final position the fork 19 is in support against the star 7.

Le déclenchement ainsi réalisé est instantané, et procure une sécurité totale.The trigger thus achieved is instantaneous, and provides total security.

La fonction s'opère dans les deux sens de marche.The function operates in both directions of operation.

L'invention permet d'effectuer un arrêtage en mode grande sonnerie, quand la fonction d'arrêtage et le mode grande sonnerie existent. Il en est de même pour le mode petite sonnerie et le mode silence.The invention makes it possible to stop in the big ring mode, when the stop function and the big ring mode exist. It is the same for the small ring mode and the silent mode.

Ce mécanisme de sonnerie 100 est tout d'abord exposé sans mécanisme d'arrêtage.This striking mechanism 100 is first exposed without a stop mechanism.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent la position de petite sonnerie, qui sonne les heures pleines au passage, et les quarts d'heure seuls au passage. La pièce des quarts et le limaçon des quarts usuels ne sont pas représentés, de façon à simplifier l'exposé du fonctionnement.The Figures 1 and 2 show the position of a small bell, which sounds the full hours in passing, and quarters of an hour alone in passing. The quarters room and the snail of the usual quarters are not shown, so as to simplify the exposition of the operation.

L'étoile 130, agencée à proximité des mobiles des références 1, est agencée pour venir coopérer, chaque quart d'heure, avec un bec 72, notamment élastique, que comporte la levée 70 de déclenchement de sonnerie, laquelle pivote dans un pivot 73.The star 130, arranged near the mobiles of the references 1, is arranged to cooperate, every quarter of an hour, with a beak 72, in particular elastic, that includes the raising 70 ring trigger, which pivots in a pivot 73 .

Cette pièce des heures 20 comporte un palpeur 29 agencé pour palper un limaçon des heures 190, et un râteau 25 agencé pour coopérer avec un pignon de crémaillère 24 que comporte un mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2. Cette pièce des heures 20 comporte encore, en retrait par rapport au palpeur 29, une nervure 23 séparant la lumière oblongue 26 d'un dégagement intérieur 28, et cette nervure 23 est terminée, du même côté que le palpeur 29, par un plat 27 d'appui de butée.This hour piece 20 includes a feeler 29 arranged to feel a snail of the hours 190, and a rake 25 arranged to cooperate with a rack pinion 24 that includes a ringing driving mobile 2. This room hours 20 further comprises, set back relative to the feeler 29, a rib 23 separating the oblong slot 26 from an internal clearance 28, and this rib 23 is complete, on the same side as the feeler 29, by a flat 27 abutment support.

Le mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2 comporte quant à lui, de façon classique, un rochet de détente 22, avec lequel est agencé pour coopérer, ou bien un cliquet principal de sonnerie 85, ou bien un cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40, muni d'une goupille 41, et que comporte une commande de répétition minutes 4, où ce dernier cliquet 40 coopère avec un ressort 43.The mobile ringing driver 2 comprises meanwhile, in a conventional manner, a detent ratchet 22, with which is arranged to cooperate, or a ratchet main ratchet 85, or a minute repetition trigger pawl 40, equipped with a pin 41, and that includes a minute repeater control 4, where the latter pawl 40 cooperates with a spring 43.

Le pivotement de la levée 70 de déclenchement de sonnerie entraîne le pivotement d'une bascule de déclenchement 50 par le mouvement, qui porte un ressort de poussée 52 qui prend appui sur le cliquet principal de sonnerie 85, que porte également la bascule de déclenchement 50.The pivoting of the triggering lift 70 causes the pivoting of a triggering lever 50 by the movement, which carries a thrust spring 52 which bears on the main ratchet 85, which is also carried by the triggering lever 50 .

Une bascule de petite sonnerie 80 de type classique porte une goupille de butée 82. Cette bascule de petite sonnerie 80, rappelée par un ressort de débrayage 83 fixé à une platine, comporte un bec de débrayage 81, qui est agencé pour prendre appui sur une goupille de came 97, que comporte une came de sélection de mode 90, que comporte un mécanisme sélecteur de mode 9.A conventional ring type rocker 80 carries a stop pin 82. This small ring rocker 80, biased by a clutch spring 83 fixed to a plate, comprises a clutch release lug 81, which is arranged to take pressing on a cam pin 97, which includes a mode selection cam 90, which comprises a mode selector mechanism 9.

La bascule de petite sonnerie 80 fait face à la pièce des heures 20 pendant la course angulaire de cette dernière, et la goupille de butée 82 est au niveau de la nervure 23 de la pièce des heures 20, sur le même rayon, ce qui lui permet de coopérer en appui de butée avec le plat 27 de la pièce des heures 20, et d'immobiliser cette dernière en l'empêchant d'atteindre le limaçon des heures 190, de façon à ne pas répéter la sonnerie des heures à chaque quart, selon le fonctionnement propre au mode de petite sonnerie.The small bell rocker 80 faces the hour piece 20 during the angular stroke of the latter, and the stop pin 82 is at the rib 23 of the hour part 20, on the same radius, which makes it makes it possible to cooperate in abutment abutment with the flat 27 of the hour-piece 20, and to immobilize the latter by preventing it from reaching the hour-limb of the hours 190, so as not to repeat the hour-bell at each quarter , depending on the operation of the small ring mode.

De façon à assurer la sonnerie de l'heure à l'heure pleine, l'étoile 130 est solidaire d'une came d'heure 131 en forme de larme, dont la pointe 132 est agencée pour soulever la bascule de petite sonnerie 80, et donc sa goupille de butée 82, pour laisser le passage au palpeur 29 de la pièce des heures 20 pour effectuer sa lecture sur le limaçon des heures 190.In order to ensure the sounding of the hour at the full hour, the star 130 is integral with a teardrop-shaped hour cam 131, the tip 132 of which is arranged to lift the small ring rocker 80, and therefore its stop pin 82, to allow the passage to the probe 29 of the hours 20 to perform its reading on the snail of hours 190.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent la position de grande sonnerie, qui sonne les heures pleines au passage, et à la fois l'heure et les quarts d'heure au passage. La pièce des quarts et le limaçon des quarts usuels ne sont pas représentés. L'appui de la goupille de came 97 sur la bascule de petite sonnerie 80 se fait à plus grande distance de l'extrémité du bec de débrayage 81 que dans le cas de la petite sonnerie, et de ce fait la goupille de butée 82 n'est plus au niveau de la nervure 23, ni du plat 27 de la pièce des heures 20, mais est au niveau du dégagement 28, ce qui permet à la pièces des heures 20 de pivoter librement vers le limaçon des heures 190 à chaque quart d'heure.The Figures 3 and 4 show the grand ringing position, which sounds the full hours in passing, and both the hour and the quarter of an hour in passing. The quarters room and the snail of the usual quarters are not represented. The support of the cam pin 97 on the small bell rocker 80 is greater distance from the end of the clutch nose 81 than in the case of the small bell, and therefore the stop pin 82 n is more at the rib 23, or the flat 27 of the hour-piece 20, but is at the clearance 28, which allows the hour-pieces 20 to pivot freely to the hour-limb 190 at each quarter time.

Pour le fonctionnement en mode silence, le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte un isolateur de grande sonnerie et de petite sonnerie, ci-après dénommé bascule de silence 60. Cette bascule de silence 60 comporte à une première extrémité un bec de lecture 61 agencé pour coopérer avec une des zones périphériques 98 de la came de sélection de mode 90, et à une deuxième extrémité 62 un bras principal 64, qui est agencé pour arrêter une goupille de cliquet principal 86, que comporte le cliquet principal de sonnerie 85. Cette bascule de silence 60 comporte, dans sa partie médiane à proximité de son pivot, une goupille de silence 63.For operation in silent mode, the ringer mechanism 100 includes a large ring and small ring isolator, hereinafter called silence flip-flop 60. This silence flip-flop 60 comprises at a first end a reading spout 61 arranged to cooperate. with one of the peripheral zones 98 of the mode selection cam 90, and at a second end 62 a main arm 64, which is arranged to stop a main ratchet pin 86, which comprises the main ratchet 85. This latch silence 60 has, in its middle part near its pivot, a pin of silence 63.

Le ressort 65 contraint la bascule de silence 60 par l'intermédiaire de la goupille 63, pour cette bascule soit toujours en contact avec la came 90 par son bec 61. Lorsque le mode sélectionné est le mode silence, cette bascule de silence 60 pivote et sa partie 62 vient déconnecter le cliquet 85 du rochet 22. La goupille de came 97 est en contact avec le bec de débrayage 81 de la bascule de petite sonnerie 80. Lors d'une répétition minute (en mode petite sonnerie), une bascule non représentée sur les figures fait le lien entre la commande 4 et la lumière de bascule 80, afin que le râteau des heures 20 puisse tomber sur le limaçon des heures 190 de la pièce 1.The spring 65 forces the latch 60 by means of the pin 63, for this latch is always in contact with the cam 90 by its spout 61. When the mode selected is the silent mode, this silence rocker 60 pivots and its portion 62 disconnects the pawl 85 of the ratchet 22. The cam pin 97 is in contact with the disengagement spout 81 of the small bell rocker 80. During a minute repeater (in small ring mode), a latch not shown in the figures makes the link between the control 4 and the flip-flop 80, so that the hour rake 20 can fall on the hour snail. 190 of Exhibit 1.

Cette bascule de silence 60 est visible sur les figures 5 à 11, qui comportent le mécanisme d'arrêtage 5, qui comporte essentiellement un levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55. Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte ainsi, partiellement superposées, la bascule de silence 60 et le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55, qui sont chacune agencée pour entraver l'accès d'un cliquet particulier au rochet 22 du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2. En effet, le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55 comporte un bras d'arrêtage 56, qui est agencé pour arrêter une goupille de cliquet de répétition 41, que comporte un cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40, de la commande de répétition à minutes 4.This latch of silence 60 is visible on the Figures 5 to 11 , which comprise the stop mechanism 5, which essentially comprises a striking clutch lever 55. The striking mechanism 100 thus comprises, partially superimposed, the latch 60 and the clutch release lever 55, which are each arranged to impede the access of a particular ratchet to the ratchet 22 of the ringer coaching vehicle 2. Indeed, the ratchet release lever 55 comprises a stop arm 56, which is arranged to stop a ratchet pin repeat 41 , which includes a minute repetition trigger pawl 40, from the repeat command at minutes 4.

Les figures montrent l'agencement particulier du cliquet principal 85 et du cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40, qui sont tous les deux situés du même côté du mobile d'entraînement de sonnerie 2 et de son rochet 22, entre la came de sélection de mode 90 et ce rochet 22. Cet agencement est particulièrement favorable, en raison d'un volume particulièrement réduit, de distances courtes entre les différents composants, permettant l'utilisation de bascules plus rigides, et il permet la conception d'un mécanisme d'arrêtage à la fois compact, fiable, et efficace. Cet agencement est rendu possible en particulier par l'interposition de la bascule de déclenchement 50 entre la levée 70 ou première bascule de déclenchement de sonnerie, et le cliquet principal 85 : cette bascule de déclenchement 50 supporte l'articulation de ce cliquet principal 85, et comporte le ressort 52 qui pousse sur ce cliquet ; elle permet le positionnement du cliquet principal 85 du même côté que le cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40 par rapport au rochet 22, elle inverse le sens de pivotement du cliquet principal 85 par rapport à un montage standard où ce dernier serait en prise directe sur la levée 70, et surtout permet de générer une économie d'énergie en gérant précisément les engagements et sorties du bec du cliquet principal 85 par rapport au rochet 22. Tout particulièrement, le cliquet principal 85 et le cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40 sont sensiblement alignés grâce à cette disposition nouvelle, et la bascule de silence 60 et le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55 peuvent être superposés, de façon presque colinéaire, ce qui simplifie de façon importante la commande et l'arrêtage des sonneries, en réduisant le nombre des composants et les courses de manoeuvre de ces composants.The figures show the particular arrangement of the main ratchet 85 and the minute repetition trigger pawl 40, which are both located on the same side of the ringer drive wheel 2 and its ratchet 22, between the ratchet selector cam mode 90 and ratchet 22. This arrangement is particularly favorable, due to a particularly small volume, short distances between the various components, allowing the use of more rigid scales, and it allows the design of a mechanism of stop at once compact, reliable, and efficient. This arrangement is made possible in particular by the interposition of the trigger rocker 50 between the lift 70 or the first ring trigger rocker, and the main pawl 85: this trigger rocker 50 supports the articulation of this main pawl 85, and comprises the spring 52 which pushes on this pawl; it allows the positioning of the main pawl 85 on the same side as the minute repetition trigger pawl 40 relative to the ratchet 22, it reverses the direction of pivoting of the main pawl 85 relative to a standard mounting where the latter would be in direct contact with the lift 70, and above all allows to generate energy savings by precisely managing the commitments and outputs of the spout of the main ratchet 85 relative to the ratchet 22. More particularly, the main ratchet 85 and the ratchet trigger repeat 40 minutes are substantially aligned thanks to this new arrangement, and the silence rocker 60 and the striking clutch release lever 55 can be superimposed, almost colinear, which greatly simplifies the control and the stop ringing, in reducing the number of components and the operating strokes of these components.

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent la position du mode silence, dans lequel la petite sonnerie et la grande sonnerie sont débrayées, mais où la manoeuvre de la répétition minutes est autorisée. Le bec de lecture 61 de la bascule de silence 60 est en appui sur le plus grand rayon 98S d'une portée périphérique 98 de la came 90, et, de ce fait, d'une part la bascule de petite sonnerie 80 est arrêtée par la goupille de came 97 et le ressort 67 et, d'autre part, le bras principal 64 de la bascule de silence 60, visible sur la figure 11, est dans sa position la plus éloignée du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, et arrête la goupille de cliquet principal 86. En revanche, le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55 est très proche du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, puisque rien ne s'oppose à cette position extrême, et de ce fait le cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40 n'est pas entravé et peut accéder au rochet de détente 22, et la répétition minutes peut donc être lancée à volonté par l'utilisateur.The Figures 5 and 6 show the position of the silent mode, in which the small bell and the big bell are disengaged, but where the maneuver of the minute repeater is allowed. The reading tip 61 of the silence rocker 60 bears on the largest radius 98S of a peripheral surface 98 of the cam 90, and, therefore, on the one hand the small bell rocker 80 is stopped by the cam pin 97 and the spring 67 and, on the other hand, the main arm 64 of the silence rocker 60, visible on the figure 11 , is in its furthest position from the ringing gear carrier 2, and stops the main pawl pin 86. On the other hand, the ringing release lever 55 is very close to the ringing gear 2, since nothing stands in the way in this extreme position, and therefore the minute repeater trigger pawl 40 is not obstructed and can access the trigger ratchet 22, and the minute repeater can be launched at will by the user.

Lors de l'entrée en fonctionnement du mécanisme d'arrêtage 5, quand l'énergie disponible est insuffisante pour assurer une exécution normale et complète d'une sonnerie, et donc avec un retour de tous les composants en position de repos après la fin du jeu de la sonnerie, la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17 pivote brusquement, entraînant le pivotement de la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 par sa goupille 16. La bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 est articulée avec le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55, qu'elle éloigne aussitôt du mobile de sonnerie 2, pour en éloigner aussi le cliquet principal 85 et le cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40, empêchant ainsi l'exécution de toute sonnerie.When the stop mechanism 5 comes into operation, when the available energy is insufficient to ensure a normal and complete execution of a ring, and therefore with a return of all the components in the rest position after the end of the the ring latch control rocker switch 17 pivots sharply, causing the ring reversal rocker 59 to pivot by its pin 16. The ring reversing rocker 59 is articulated with the disengagement lever of FIG. ring 55, it removes immediately ringing mobile 2, to move away also the main ratchet 85 and the minute repeater trigger pawl 40, thus preventing the execution of any ringing.

Lorsque l'utilisateur effectue le rechargement du ou des barillets, il manoeuvre la tige 10 : la position T1 correspond classiquement à, dans un premier sens, la recharge du barillet mouvement et dans l'autre sens, la recharge du barillet de sonnerie, la position T2 étant réservée à la mise à l'heure de la montre.When the user reloads the barrel or barrels, he operates the rod 10: the position T1 corresponds classically to, in a first direction, the charging of the barrel movement and in the other direction, the charging of the barrel of the ring, the T2 position being reserved for setting the time of the watch.

Lorsque l'utilisateur effectue le rechargement du ou des barillets, ce n'est que lorsque le niveau d'énergie est redevenu suffisant que la bascule de commande de verrou de sonnerie 17 peut effectuer le saut inverse, entraînant alors la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 et le basculement du levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55 pour autoriser les sonneries. L'utilisateur doit remonter le barillet d'un certain nombre de tours, afin de garantir un minimum de sonnerie. A cet effet le rouage de remontage comprend un ou plusieurs barillets coopérant avec au moins un rochet et un mécanisme différentiel, notamment comportant une friction, et, dont le réglage définit le seuil prédéfini lors duquel on déclenche l'arrêtage, ou la libération dans l'autre sens. Le basculement du levier de débrayage se fait de manière instantanée.When the user reloads the barrel or barrels, it is only when the energy level is again sufficient that the control rocker Ringer lock 17 may perform the reverse hop, thereby causing the ring reversal rocker 59 and tilting of the ring release lever 55 to allow ringing. The user must wind the barrel a certain number of turns, in order to guarantee a minimum of ringing. For this purpose the winding train comprises one or more barrels cooperating with at least one ratchet and a differential mechanism, in particular comprising a friction, and whose setting defines the predefined threshold at which the stopping, or the release in the 'other way. Tilt of the release lever is instantaneous.

Lorsque l'utilisateur effectue une mise à l'heure de la montre, le passage en position T2 de la tige 10 entraîne le pivotement de la tirette 11, débraye la bascule de débrayage 12, entraînant alors la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 et le basculement du levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55. Cette dernière comporte le bras d'arrêtage 56 qui débraye le cliquet de répétition 41 et le cliquet principal de sonnerie 85. Ce mécanisme permet ainsi à l'utilisateur de faire une mise à l'heure dans les deux sens en toute sécurité, puisqu'aucun déclenchement de sonnerie n'est alors possible.When the user makes a time setting of the watch, the passage in position T2 of the rod 10 causes the pivoting of the pull tab 11, disengages the disengagement lever 12, thereby causing the ring reversal lever 59 and the tilting of the ring release lever 55. The latter comprises the stop arm 56 which disengages the repeat pawl 41 and the main ratchet 85. This mechanism thus allows the user to make a time setting. in both directions in complete safety, since no ringing trigger is possible.

La combinaison de ce mécanisme avec le mécanisme d'arrêtage constitue ainsi un perfectionnement favorable à la sécurité de manoeuvre de la montre en toutes circonstances.The combination of this mechanism with the stop mechanism thus constitutes an improvement favorable to the safety of maneuvering the watch in all circumstances.

Le mécanisme d'arrêtage est couplé à celui du débrayage des cliquets en position T2. Ces mécanismes de sécurité utilisent les mêmes composants pour débrayer les cliquets bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 et levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55), mais ces mécanismes fonctionnent indépendamment l'un de l'autre.The stop mechanism is coupled to that of the clutch disengagement in the T2 position. These safety mechanisms use the same components to disengage the ratchet flip-flops 59 and ringer release lever 55), but these mechanisms operate independently of each other.

Les figures 7 et 8 illustrent l'arrêtage en mode grande sonnerie. Le mécanisme d'arrêtage 5 est agencé pour débrayer tous les cliquets, quand la quantité d'énergie disponible, au niveau du ou des barillets ou similaire, est insuffisante. Cette fois, le bec de lecture 61 de la bascule de silence 60 est en appui sur le plus faible rayon 98AGS de la portée périphérique 98 de la came 90, et, à sa deuxième extrémité 62 le bras principal 64 de la bascule de silence 60 est dans sa position la plus proche du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, et ne peut pas arrêter la goupille de cliquet principal 86. En revanche, le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55 est dans sa position la plus éloignée du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, et de ce fait entrave à la fois la goupille principale 86 du cliquet principal 85 et la goupille de cliquet de répétition 41, donc le cliquet principal 85 et le cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40 sont entravés et ne peuvent accéder au rochet de détente 22. La répétition minutes ne peut pas être activée par l'utilisateur. Aucune sonnerie ne peut donc être lancée. Rien ne s'oppose à une autre manoeuvre de sélection de mode.The Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the stop in big ring mode. The stop mechanism 5 is arranged to disengage all the pawls, when the amount of available energy at the barrel or barrels or the like is insufficient. This time, the reading tip 61 of the silence rocker 60 rests on the smallest radius 98AGS of the peripheral surface 98 of the cam 90, and at its second end 62 the main arm 64 of the silence rocker 60 is in its position closest to the ringing gear 2, and can not stop the main pawl pin 86. On the other hand, the ringing release lever 55 is in its furthest position from the ringing gear 2, and thereby hinders both the main pin 86 of the main pawl 85 and the repeat pawl pin 41, thus the main pawl 85 and the trigger pawl 40 minute repeater are hindered and can not access the detent ratchet 22. The minute repeater can not be activated by the user. No ringtone can be launched. Nothing stands in the way of another mode selection maneuver.

Les figures 9 à 11 illustrent l'arrêtage en mode silence. Ces figures montrent la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 59 pour la commande articulée du levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55. Le bec de lecture 61 de la bascule de silence 60 est en appui sur le plus grand rayon 98S de la portée périphérique 98 de la came 90, et le bras principal 64 de la bascule de silence 60 est dans sa position la plus éloignée du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, et arrête la goupille de cliquet principal 86. Le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 55 est aussi dans sa position la plus éloignée du mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 2, et entrave la goupille de cliquet de répétition 41. Donc le cliquet principal 85 et le cliquet de déclenchement de répétition minutes 40 sont entravés et ne peuvent accéder au rochet de détente 22.The Figures 9 to 11 illustrate the shutdown in silence mode. These figures show the ring reversal rocker 59 for the articulated control of the ring release lever 55. The reading tip 61 of the silence rocker 60 bears on the largest radius 98S of the peripheral range 98 of the cam 90, and the main arm 64 of the silence rocker 60 is in its furthest position from the ringing gear mover 2, and stops the main pawl pin 86. The ringing release lever 55 is also in its position. further away from the ringer driver 2, and hinders the ratchet pin 41. Thus, the main ratchet 85 and the minute repeater ratchet 40 are hindered and can not access the ratchet 22.

On comprend que l'arrêtage n'est actif que dans le seul cas où il n'y a plus assez d'énergie, et que, sinon, ce mécanisme d'arrêtage est débrayé.It is understood that the stop is active only in the case where there is more energy, and if not, this stop mechanism is disengaged.

L'invention concerne encore une montre 1000 comportant un mouvement 200 comportant une sortie 3 de déclenchement de sonnerie au passage par le mouvement, ce mouvement 200 étant agencé pour entraîner au moins un mobile de référence 1, et la montre 1000 comporte au moins un tel mécanisme de sonnerie 100.The invention also relates to a watch 1000 comprising a movement 200 having a ringing trigger output 3 at the passage through the movement, this movement 200 being arranged to drive at least one mobile reference 1, and the watch 1000 comprises at least one such ringing mechanism 100.
