Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférésDetailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

L'invention concerne la protection de mécanismes de sonnerie ou musicaux, et plus particulièrement des mécanismes à sélection de sonnerie ou/et de mélodie, en particulier selon les demandes EP141692.8 et CH0769/14 du même déposant, incorporées ici par référence.The invention relates to the protection of striking or musical mechanisms, and more particularly ring-select and / or melody-selection mechanisms, in particular according to the requests EP141692.8 and CH0769 / 14 of the same applicant, incorporated herein by reference.

On désigne ci-après indifféremment par le terme de « sonnerie » un mécanisme de sonnerie ou d'exécution d'une mélodie.Hereinafter, the term "ringing" is used interchangeably to mean a mechanism for ringing or executing a melody.

Il s'agit d'empêcher un utilisateur de sélectionner une sonnerie ou mélodie alors que le système est déjà en train de jouer une sonnerie ou mélodie, afin d'éviter une casse ou une erreur de sonnerie ou de mélodie.This is to prevent a user from selecting a ringtone or melody while the system is already playing a ringtone or melody, to avoid a breakage or a ringing or melody error.

Dès que la pièce d'horlogerie, décrite ici dans le cas particulier et préféré d'une montre, se met à jouer (c'est-à-dire à faire retentir une sonnerie ou une mélodie), le mécanisme selon l'invention vient neutraliser la commande de sélection, laquelle sera à nouveau fonctionnelle une fois la sonnerie ou mélodie en cours terminée.As soon as the timepiece, described here in the particular and preferred case of a watch, begins to play (that is to say to sound a ringtone or a melody), the mechanism according to the invention comes override the selection command, which will be functional once the current ringing or melody is complete.

Il en est de même pour la neutralisation de la commande de déclenchement de sonnerie ou de mélodie.

  • Les figures illustrent un dispositif simple avec seulement deux pièces de sonnerie qui sont une première pièce des quarts 101 et une deuxième pièce des quarts 102 agencées pour jouer des sonneries ou mélodies différentes, l'invention est généralisable à un nombre supérieur de pièces de sonnerie, notamment disposées comme sur les figures selon des plans parallèles, et qui peuvent encore être disposées autour d'un organe commun de sélection.
  • Les figures n'illustrent qu'une partie d'un mécanisme sonnerie 1000, dont les composantes sont connues de l'homme du métier : des moyens de sélection 700 comportant un poussoir 70 pivotant autour d'un axe F et commandé par un levier non représenté articulé sur un autre axe E, pour sélectionner une sonnerie ou mélodie, des moyens de commande de déclenchement 800 comportant un poussoir 801 pour déclencher, par un doigt 802, le jeu de la sonnerie et agissant classiquement sur un rochet de détente ou similaire, ces pièces de sonnerie 101 et 102 agencées pour coopérer de façon connue avec une pluralité de levées 4, pour la commande de marteaux ou similaires, lors de leur pivotement autour d'un axe D, qui est ici, et de façon non limitative, un axe commun, et le mécanisme de sécurité selon l'invention.
It is the same for the neutralization of the trigger command of ringing or melody.
  • The figures illustrate a simple device with only two rings that are a first part of the quarters 101 and a second part of the quarters 102 arranged to play different ringtones or melodies, the invention is generalizable to a greater number of ringing parts, in particular arranged as in the figures in parallel planes, and which can still be arranged around a common selection member.
  • The figures illustrate only part of a striking mechanism 1000, whose components are known to those skilled in the art: selection means 700 comprising a pusher 70 pivoting about an axis F and controlled by a lever not shown articulated on another axis E, to select a ringing or melody, trigger control means 800 comprising a pusher 801 for triggering, by a finger 802, the ringing game and acting conventionally on a trigger ratchet or similar, these rings 101 and 102 arranged to cooperate in a known manner with a plurality of lifts 4, for the control of hammers or the like, when pivoting about an axis D, which is here, and without limitation , a common axis, and the safety mechanism according to the invention.

Naturellement, les commandes de sélection et de déclenchement peuvent être effectuées par action d'un utilisateur sur un poussoir, ou encore être lancées par un mouvement d'horlogerie.Naturally, the selection and trigger commands can be made by action of a user on a pusher, or be launched by a watch movement.

Ainsi, plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un mécanisme de sonnerie 1000 d'horlogerie comportant des moyens de commande agencés pour être déclenchés par un mouvement d'horlogerie ou par un utilisateur pour le lancement d'une mélodie ou d'une sonnerie.Thus, more particularly, the invention relates to a 1000 clock striking mechanism comprising control means arranged to be triggered by a watch movement or by a user for the launch of a melody or a ring.

Ce mécanisme de sonnerie 1000 comporte aussi des moyens de sélection de mélodie 900, qui sont agencés pour être déclenchés par un mouvement d'horlogerie ou par un utilisateur, et qui comportent une bascule principale 70 pour sélectionner un mécanisme sélecteur agencé pour autoriser le mouvement d'une seule pièce de commande 101, 102, particulière, parmi une pluralité de pièces de sonnerie, pour l'exécution d'une mélodie ou sonnerie particulière.This ringing mechanism 1000 also comprises melody selection means 900, which are arranged to be triggered by a watch movement or by a user, and which comprise a main rocker 70 to select a selector mechanism arranged to allow the movement of the drum. one particular control piece 101, 102, among a plurality of ring pieces, for performing a particular melody or ring.

Selon l'invention le mécanisme de sonnerie 1000 comporte un mécanisme de sécurité 50 qui est agencé pour interdire la sélection ou le déclenchement d'une mélodie ou d'une sonnerie quand une mélodie ou sonnerie est déjà en cours d'exécution.According to the invention the ringing mechanism 1000 comprises a safety mechanism 50 which is arranged to prohibit the selection or triggering of a melody or a ring when a melody or ring is already running.

Ce mécanisme de sécurité 50 comporte, pour chaque pièce de commande 101, 102, une came 51, 52, propre à cette pièce de commande 101, 102, et qui est agencée pour, quand sa pièce de commande respective 101, 102, a démarré l'exécution d'une mélodie ou sonnerie, interdire la manoeuvre des moyens de sélection de mélodie 900, par immobilisation de la bascule principale 70.This safety mechanism 50 comprises, for each control part 101, 102, a cam 51, 52 specific to this control part 101, 102, and which is arranged for, when its respective control part 101, 102, has started. performing a melody or ringing, prohibiting the operation of the melody selection means 900, by immobilization of the main rocker 70.

De façon particulière, chaque came 51, 52, du mécanisme de sécurité 50 comporte un doigt 57, 58, pour la commande du pivotement de la came 51, 52, respective sous l'action d'un bec 95, 96, que comporte la pièce de commande 101, 102, respective, lors du pivotement de la pièce de commande respective 101, 102.In particular, each cam 51, 52, of the safety mechanism 50 comprises a finger 57, 58, for controlling the pivoting of the cam 51, 52, respectively under the action of a spout 95, 96, that includes the respective control part 101, 102, during the pivoting of the respective control part 101, 102.

Avantageusement, chaque pièce de commande 101, 102 comporte des moyens d'accrochage 93, 94, qui sont agencés pour coopérer, pour l'immobilisation de la pièce de commande respective 101, 102, avec des moyens d'accrochage complémentaire 83; 84, que comporte une bascule de verrouillage 81, 82, dont le pivotement, à l'encontre de moyens de rappel élastique que comporte la bascule de verrouillage 81, 82, est commandé par celui des mécanismes sélecteurs qui coopère avec cette pièce de commande 101, 102.Advantageously, each control part 101, 102 comprises hooking means 93, 94, which are arranged to cooperate, for the immobilization of the respective control part 101, 102, with complementary attachment means 83; 84, that includes a latch latch 81, 82, whose pivoting, against resilient biasing means that includes the latch 81, 82, is controlled by that of the selector mechanisms which cooperates with this control part 101 , 102.
