Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking, more particularly to a musical module of a watch movement including a wristwatch, and a watch comprising the musical module.
  • CA966705 describes a musical module comprising the basic elements of the music box, namely a barrel, a cylinder, a keyboard and a cruise control. These elements have been adapted so as to be as compact as possible in order to be integrated in a watch case.
  • the main disadvantage of this module lies in the fact that it can play only one melody.
  • the size and the geometry of the cylinder does not allow, on this scale at least, the positioning of several cylinders.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a musical module comprising at least one toothed musical disc provided with pins, said disc replacing the cylinder thereby saving space, the musical module may optionally include several discs, the latter may be alternately positioned on the keyboard to play several melodies.
  • this object is achieved by means of a musical module of a watch movement of a watch, said module comprising a barrel, at least one element provided with pins, a keyboard with several blades, a regulating member as well as than a control device.
  • the element or each element is a toothed disc driven by the barrel through at least one pinion.
  • the disk or each toothed disk, carrying said pins on at least one face, is capable of being positioned above or below the keyboard so that the pins cooperate with the keyboard blades to play a melody.
  • the control device is arranged to engage the rotation of the toothed disc (s) to ensure that the melody is turned on.
  • the regulating member ensures a constant rotation of the toothed disc or discs.
  • FIG. 1 represents a view from above of the musical module comprising a carousel provided with four arms at the end of which a musical disc equipped with pins is arranged,
  • FIG. 2 represents an intermediate view from below of the musical module
  • FIG. 3 shows a bottom view of the music module.
  • the musical module comprises a carousel (1) provided with four arms (2) disposed around a central axis (3). Towards its end, each arm (2) has an axis (4) around which is arranged one of the four toothed musical discs (5).
  • a central gear (6) is freely arranged around the central axis (3) of the carousel (1) in order to be able to simultaneously drive the four musical discs (5) and on the other hand a first wheel (7).
  • a gear train (7, 8, 9) collaborating with a flywheel (10).
  • the gear train (7, 8, 9) and the flywheel (10) constitute the regulating member of the musical module ( Figure 2).
  • the central gear (6) can be driven by the barrel (11).
  • Each of the musical discs (5) has on its underside pins (12) for lifting the blades of a keyboard (13) when the four discs (5) are positioned in turn thereon.
  • the positioning of the pins (12) varies from one disc (5) to the other in order to assign to each of the musical discs (5) a distinct melody.
  • the musical module comprises a control device intended to engage on the one hand the rotation of the disks (5) and on the other hand the rotation of the carousel (1) by 90 °.
  • a rotary member (14) comprising a finger (14a), is integrally arranged with the first wheel (7) of the gear train (7, 8, 9), the finger (14a) being arranged to drive a Maltese cross (15) integral with the central axis (3). ) of the carousel (1).
  • the primary circumference of the music discs (5) is identical to that of the first wheel (7) so that the rotation of the carousel (1) is engaged by the finger (14a) only when the disc (5) is positioned on the keyboard (13). ) performed a complete rotation and that the melody is over.
  • the rotary member (14) has an annular groove (18) whose inner side has a projection (19). This ensures the locking of the carousel (2) via a first locking pin (16a) secured to a locking lever (16). It is able to actuate a lever (22) ( Figure 1) which keeps the carousel (1) in a stable position when the playback of a musical disc (5) is performed.
  • the outer side of the groove (18) has a notch (20) inside which is positioned a second locking pin (17a) integral with a stop lever (17) for stopping the flywheel. inertia (10) so as to keep the music module stopped.
  • levers (16, 17) can be actuated by a rocker (21) to respectively release the carousel (1) and the flywheel (10) as described below.
  • the rocker (21) actuates the locking lever (16) via a pin (21a) to disengage the first locking pin (16a) of the projection (19),
  • the rotating member (14) is rotated and drives through its finger (14a) the Maltese cross (15) which actuates the rotation of the carousel (1) by 90 °,
  • one of the disks (5) which is always driven by the central pinion (6), is positioned on the keyboard (13) and actuates the blades thereof in order to play a melody
  • the second locking pin (17a) moves along the outer flank of the groove (18) which acts as a cam in order to keep the stop lever (17) disengaged from the flywheel (10) during the reading of one of the musical discs (5), - as soon as the musical disc (5) has completed a complete revolution, the second locking pin (17a) is repositioned in the notch (20), blocking the flywheel (10) via the lever d stop (17) and the first pin (16a) of the locking lever (16) returns to contact with the projection (19),
  • the musical module makes it possible to read a musical disk (5) by the action of a control pushbutton (not shown) actuating the rocker (21).
  • the musical discs (5) have the particularity of having a portion (23) devoid of pins (12) in order to be able to position each of them, in turn, on the keyboard (13) while avoiding that the pins (12) hit the blades of the latter during positioning.
  • the musical module further comprises a wheel (24) ( Figure 2) mounted on a rocker (25), said wheel (24) being arranged to drive the ratchet (26) of the barrel (11) when the rotation of the crown winding the watch (not shown) is performed clockwise.
  • the wheel (24) is then driven via a first winding gear (27) and an intermediate gear (28).
  • a second winding gear (29) is arranged to perform the winding of the clockwork when the rotation of the winding crown is performed in the counterclockwise direction.
  • the time setting of the watch is performed by rotating the winding crown and pressing simultaneously on a time setting button (not shown).
  • This push-button allows, by means of a set of flip-flops (30, 31, 32, 33, 25, 35) (FIG. 3), on the one hand, to disengage the flip-flop (25) in order to avoid reassembly of the musical module and on the other hand to actuate a rocker (35) acting on the watch movement in order to be able to set the time.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but embraces, on the contrary, all the variants of execution.
  • the musical module could be adapted for a minute repeater.
