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, complex as much by the number and complexity of the kinematics of their components, as by 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.

Et il s'agit d'assurer une sécurisation totale, non seulement des composants du mécanisme de sonnerie ou du mécanisme musical, mais aussi de ce mécanisme de sélection, également complexe. Il faut tout particulièrement prévenir les accumulations de contraintes dans le mécanisme, en particulier au niveau des levées, et notamment empêcher toute collision entre les pièces de quarts et les levées.The problem is even more delicate for a timepiece capable of operating according to different ringing modes, with different melodies, including a carillon, or with different sets of stamps, when this timepiece comprises means for selecting ringing, melody, stamp mode. And this is to ensure total security, not only the components of the striking mechanism or the musical mechanism, but also this selection mechanism, also complex. It is particularly necessary to prevent the accumulation of stresses in the mechanism, in particular at the level of the lifts, and in particular to prevent any collision between the parts of quarters and the lifts.

Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte, de façon classique, au moins un mobile de référence, et de préférence une pluralité de mobiles de référence, comportant des limaçons et/ou étoiles de référence temporelle, et notamment un limaçon des minutes, un limaçon des quarts, un limaçon des heures.The
Ce mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte encore au moins un mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 1, tel qu'exposé notamment au chapitre « grande sonnerie » de l'ouvrage « Les montres compliquées » et visible notamment en
Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 coopère avec le mouvement 500, qui entraîne le ou les mobiles de référence, et dont une sortie particulière est illustrée à la
Le mobile entraîneur de sonnerie 1 est ainsi porteur d'un rochet de détente 2, lequel est agencé pour coopérer avec au moins un cliquet d'actionnement au passage 3 commandé par le mouvement 500, notamment par la coopération entre l'étoile de la
Le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte un levier de débrayage de sonnerie 6 apte à empêcher l'accès d'un tel cliquet 3, 4, au rochet de détente 2, sous l'action d'une bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 7, telle que décrite dans les demandes
Selon l'invention, le mécanisme de sonnerie comporte un dispositif de sécurité de déclenchement durant une sélection de sonnerie ou de mélodie, qui est agencé pour empêcher le déclenchement de toute sonnerie, que ce soit par le mouvement 500 ou par un utilisateur. Ce dispositif de sécurité de déclenchement comporte une bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20, dont le pivotement, sous l'action d'une sélection de sonnerie ou de mélodie effectuée sur la commande principale 10 par un utilisateur, éloigne tout cliquet 3, 4, du rochet de détente 2. Et le mécanisme de sonnerie 100 comporte des moyens de rappel élastique, qui sont agencés pour ramener la commande principale 10 dans une position unique de repos en l'absence d'action d'un utilisateur.According to the invention, the striking mechanism comprises a trigger safety device during a ringing or melody selection, which is arranged to prevent the triggering of any ringing, either by the
Plus particulièrement, la commande principale 10 comporte une bascule principale de commande 11 pivotante, qui porte une goupille de commande 12. Cette goupille de commande 12 est agencée pour coopérer en appui, sous l'action d'un ressort principal de commande 9, avec une première surface 23 de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20 dans une première course angulaire autorisant des manoeuvres de déclenchement, et avec une deuxième surface 24 de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20 dans une deuxième course angulaire de dégagement de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20 interdisant toute manoeuvre de déclenchement de sonnerie. La bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20 est poussée vers la goupille de commande 12 par le rappel d'un ressort de bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 29. Le mouvement 500 comporte une goupille fixe 28, qui sert de position d'appui à la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20 lorsque cette dernière est en position de repos.More particularly, the
Dans la position de repos de la commande principale 10, la goupille de commande 12 fait face à la première surface 23, dont elle est séparée d'une première distance de sécurité S1 non nulle, tel que visible sur la
Pendant la première course angulaire, la goupille de commande 12 est en appui sur la première surface 23, tel que visible sur la
Pendant la deuxième course angulaire, la goupille de commande 12 est en appui sur la deuxième surface 24, tant qu'un effort est exercé sur la commande principale 10 par un utilisateur, tel que visible sur les
Plus particulièrement, la deuxième surface 24 de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20 est adjacente à la première surface 23, dont elle est séparée par une arête ou par un plat intermédiaire, dont le franchissement lors d'une action sur la commande principale 10 correspond à la fin de la première course angulaire, et à l'enclenchement de la sécurité empêchant le déclenchement de toute sonnerie.More particularly, the
Dans la variante non limitative illustrée par les figures, la première surface 23 est sensiblement plate, et est séparée de la deuxième surface 24, sensiblement cylindrique, par une arête. La deuxième surface 24 est coaxiale avec l'axe de pivotement de la bascule principale de commande 11 lorsque la sécurité est activée.In the non-limiting variant illustrated by the figures, the
Dans une autre variante non illustrée, la première surface 23 et la deuxième surface 24 sont deux surfaces sensiblement cylindriques, et sensiblement axées sur l'axe de pivotement de la bascule principale de commande 11, dont l'une est plus éloignée que l'autre, et sont séparées par un plat intermédiaire. Et, de la même façon, la deuxième surface 24 est coaxiale avec l'axe de pivotement de la bascule principale de commande 11 lorsque la sécurité est activée.In another variant not shown, the
D'autres agencements sont naturellement possibles, et dépendent notamment de l'espace disponible au voisinage de la commande principale 10, laquelle comporte, dans la variante illustrée par les figures, une bascule principale de commande 11 sur laquelle agit un poussoir non représenté manoeuvrable par l'utilisateur.Other arrangements are naturally possible, and depend in particular on the space available in the vicinity of the
De façon avantageuse, la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 7 comporte un excentrique 71, qui est agencé pour venir en appui sur une surface d'appui 22 que comporte la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20, pour le réglage fin de la course de pivotement de la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 7, et pour assurer le dégagement de chaque cliquet 3, 4, par rapport au rochet de détente 2.Advantageously, the
Lorsque la goupille de commande 12 entre en contact avec la première surface 23 de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20, cette dernière entre en contact avec l'excentrique 71 par sa surface d'appui 22.When the
Cette sécurité s'active pendant la course à vide de la bascule principale de commande 11 : pendant que la goupille de commande 12 se déplace sur la première surface 23, la distance de sécurité passe progressivement de la valeur de la deuxième distance de sécurité S2 à la valeur nulle, et la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 7 entame sa course pour entraîner le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 6 qui déconnecte les deux cliquets 3, 4, en les maintenant à distance du rochet de détente 2.This security is activated during the empty run of the main control rocker 11: while the
Lorsque l'utilisateur fait une sélection de mélodie par une action sur la bascule principale de commande 11, la goupille de commande 12 passe de la première surface 23 à la deuxième surface 24 de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20. De ce fait, la bascule principale de commande 11 entre en contact, avec sa surface d'appui 22, sur cet excentrique 71 de la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 7, laquelle vient ensuite déconnecter les cliquets 3, 4, par la connexion avec le levier de débrayage de sonnerie 6.When the user makes a melody selection by an action on the
Dans une autre variante non illustrée, la bascule d'inversion de sonnerie 7 porte une simple goupille agencée pour coopérer avec la surface d'appui 22.

Plus particulièrement, dans la position de repos de la commande principale 10, l'excentrique 71 fait face à la surface d'appui 22 dont elle est séparée d'une deuxième distance de sécurité S2 non nulle, tel que visible sur la
Pendant une première partie de la première course angulaire, cet excentrique 71 fait face à la surface d'appui 22 dont elle est encore séparée d'une deuxième distance de sécurité S2 non nulle, tel que visible sur la
Pendant une deuxième partie, consécutive à la première partie, de la première course angulaire, tel que visible sur la
Pendant la deuxième course angulaire, l'excentrique 71 est en appui sur la surface d'appui 22, tant qu'un effort est exercé sur la commande principale 10 par un utilisateur, tel que visible sur la
Dans la version non limitative illustrée par les figures, la commande principale 10 de sélection de sonnerie ou de mélodie comporte une roue à colonnes 30. Et la bascule principale de commande 11 est alors une bascule principale de commande de roue à colonnes, qui comporte un crochet 13, qui est agencé pour entraîner par traction des dents 31 de la roue à colonnes 30, laquelle est maintenue en position par un sautoir de roue à colonnes 32. Et le ressort principal de commande 9 est alors un ressort principal de commande de roue à colonnes, qui comporte au moins un pion 93, 94, pour son positionnement. Les brevets
La première course angulaire, lors de laquelle la goupille de commande 12 est en appui sur la première surface 23 de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20, correspond à la course à vide de la bascule principale de commande de roue à colonnes 11, c'est-à-dire que cette bascule principale de commande de roue à colonnes 11 n'est pas encore entrée en contact avec la roue à colonnes 30.The first angular stroke, in which the
La première surface 23 permet à elle seule d'enclencher la sécurité de déclenchement selon l'invention. La deuxième surface 24 de la bascule de sécurité de déclenchement 20 permet de conserver cette sécurité de déclenchement active, lors de la suite de la course de la goupille de commande 12 de la bascule principale de commande de roue à colonnes 11.The
D'autres variantes non illustrées peuvent comporter d'autres types de sélecteurs qu'une roue à colonnes, le crochet est alors remplacé par un organe de commande adapté à cet usage. Il est notamment possible d'implanter un sélecteur à came, ou à navette comme pour un chronographe. Le brevet
Dans la variante illustrée avec roue à colonnes, la première partie de la première course angulaire correspond à une course à vide de la bascule principale de commande de roue à colonnes 11, entre la position de repos et le premier contact du crochet 13 avec la roue à colonnes 30.In the illustrated variant with a column wheel, the first part of the first angular stroke corresponds to a no-load run of the main column
