  • the ringing mechanism 100 comprises a stop mechanism 5, which is arranged to prevent the execution of any ringing, in order to prevent the risk presented by the stopping of certain mobiles in intermediate positions, liable to cause collisions during a restart. In the only case where the stop function is effective, the operation of the minute repeater is also prohibited.
  • This stop mechanism 5 is arranged to cause a ringing inversion rocker 59 to pivot, in particular when the energy available is insufficient for the execution of a complete ringing.
  • This ringing inversion rocker 59 controls the pivoting of a ringing disengagement lever 55, which is arranged to prevent the access of the repetition pawl 40 to the trigger ratchet 22 when the energy available is insufficient for the execution of a complete ringing, and to move the main pawl 85 away from the trigger ratchet 22 when the energy available is insufficient for the execution of a complete ringing.

  • the main pawl 85 and the minute repeater trigger pawl 40 are substantially aligned thanks to this new arrangement, and the silence rocker 60 and the bell disengagement lever 55 can be superimposed, in an almost collinear manner, which greatly simplifies the control and the stopping of the bells, by reducing the number components and the operating strokes of these components.
  • THE figures 5 and 6 show the position of silent mode, in which the small strike and the large strike are disengaged, but where operation of the minute repeater is authorized.
  • the reading beak 61 of the silence rocker 60 bears on the largest radius 98S of a peripheral bearing surface 98 of the cam 90, and, as a result, 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 driving mobile of bell 2, and stops the main pawl pin 86.
  • the bell disengagement lever 55 is very close to the bell driving mobile 2, since nothing opposes this extreme position, and therefore the pawl of triggering of minute repeater 40 is not hindered and can access the trigger ratchet 22, and the minute repeater can therefore be launched at will by the user.
  • the position T1 conventionally corresponds to, in a first direction, the recharging of the movement barrel and in the other direction, the recharging of the striking barrel, the position T2 being reserved for setting the time of the watch.
  • the winding train comprises one or more barrels cooperating with at least one ratchet and a differential mechanism, in particular comprising a friction mechanism, and, the adjustment of which defines the predefined threshold at which the stopping, or the release in the 'other way.
  • the shifting of the release lever is instantaneous.
  • the passage in position T2 of the rod 10 causes the pivoting of the pull tab 11, disengages the disengagement lever 12, then driving the striking inversion lever 59 and the tilting of the bell disengagement lever 55.
  • the latter comprises the stopper arm 56 which disengages the repeater pawl 41 and the main striking pawl 85.
  • the stop mechanism is coupled to that for disengaging the pawls in position T2.
  • These safety mechanisms use the same components to disengage the bell reversing rocker pawls 59 and bell disengagement lever 55), but these mechanisms operate independently of each other.
  • THE figures 7 and 8 illustrate stopping in Grande Sonnerie mode.
  • the stop mechanism 5 is arranged to disengage all the pawls, when the quantity of energy available, at the level of the barrel(s) or the like, is insufficient. This time, the reading beak 61 of the silence rocker 60 rests on the smallest radius 98AGS of the peripheral bearing 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 bell driver mobile 2, and cannot stop the main pawl pin 86.
  • the bell release lever 55 is in its position farthest from the bell driver mobile 2, and thereby obstructs both the main pin 86 of the main pawl 85 and the repeater pawl pin 41, so the main pawl 85 and the minute repeater trigger pawl 40 are impeded and cannot access the detent ratchet 22
  • the minute repeater cannot be activated by the user. No bell can therefore be launched. None stands in the way of another mode selection maneuver.
  • THE figures 9 to 11 illustrate stopping in silent mode. These figures show the ringing inversion rocker 59 for the articulated control of the ringing release lever 55.
  • the reading beak 61 of the silence rocker 60 is supported on the largest radius 98S of the peripheral bearing 98 of the cam 90, and the main arm 64 of the silence rocker 60 is in its furthest position from the strike driving mobile 2, and stops the main pawl pin 86.
  • the strike release lever 55 is also in its furthest position. furthest from the ringing trainer mobile 2, and hinders the repeater pawl pin 41. Therefore the main pawl 85 and the minute repeater pawl 40 are blocked and cannot access the trigger ratchet 22.
  • stoppage is only active in the sole case where there is no longer enough energy, and that, otherwise, this stoppage mechanism is disengaged.
  • the invention also relates to a watch 1000 comprising a movement 200 comprising an output 3 for triggering a chime when passing through the movement, this movement 200 being arranged to drive at least one reference mobile 1, and the watch 1000 comprises at least one such ringing mechanism 100.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece 2000 comprising a movement 200 comprising an output 3 for triggering the chime when passing through the movement, this movement 200 being arranged to drive at least one reference mobile 1, and the timepiece 2000 includes at least one such striking mechanism 100.
