Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a striking mechanism of a timepiece comprising a hammer and a corresponding adjusting device for determining its rest position.
  • Hammers have long been known in clockworks to produce sounds in the audible range in which they are rotatably mounted about an axis and have an edge of impact at its edge which strikes a, for example, circular tone spring when the hammer is struck by a pre-stringed one Mainspring is turned. The vibration of this gong then produces a desired noise and sound.
  • levers In order to string the mainspring, and accordingly to remove the impact edges of the hammers from the gongs before impact, so-called levers are provided which cooperate with pins arranged on the hammers, and a percussion mechanism, inter alia. provided with rake, are controlled.
  • a majority of hammers can e.g. be applied to minute repetition beats to produce different tones.
  • counter spring which are usually made of a harder material than the mainspring, and on the same pin in an opposite direction in comparison to the mainspring.
  • the distance between the gong and the striking edge is then arranged by means of the adjustment of the positioning of the opposing spring such that a clearance between these two part after the Serve is always there for unwanted further surcharges to be avoided.
  • a minute repeater strike employing such an array of hammers is illustrated in the book Theory d'horlogerie by Reymondin, Monnier, Jeanneret, Pelaratti, page 219.
  • the stop of the hammer is solved as follows: the pin mounted in the rotatably mounted hammer finds an end stop on a counter spring screwed onto the work plate. This spring has at the same time an arm provided with resilient properties, and on the opposite side a stable, non-resilient arm, on.
  • a disadvantage of these known mechanisms is that the number of parts of the impact mechanism is very large, and thus the entire assembly is particularly long.
  • Another disadvantage is that the setting of the Rest position of the hammers is tricky, because on the one hand, the fixing screw of the opposing spring must be solved in advance, and on the other hand because the adjusting screw are accessible only from the dial side, which makes a subsequent correction particularly difficult.
  • the present invention has for its object to overcome this disadvantage.
  • a striking mechanism with a hammer comprising a resilient stop, and an eccentric for adjusting its rest position is from the document CH 80 995 A known. This object is achieved on the basis of the preamble of claim 1 by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the hammer defined in the claim which has a resilient adjustable stop, makes it possible to dispense with the usual counter-spring and the associated fastening screw. Thus, the number of parts of the impact mechanism is reduced, and simplifies the assembly.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a view of a hammer 1 of a striking mechanism of a clock according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the hammer 1 is shown in its rest position where it does not touch the gong 2.
  • the outer shape of the hammer 1 was designed so that an element with resilient properties was added.
  • the resilient element of the hammer 1 rests against an eccentric 3, which is rotatable about its axis and bears friction in a bore, which is accessible from the rear side of the work plate. Due to the eccentricity of the distance between the hammer 1 and the gong 2 can be reduced or increased by turning the eccentric 3.
  • FIG. 2 is pointed to the setting of the rest position of the hammer 1, in which the larger radius R and the smaller radius r of the screw head 30 of the eccentric are illustrated about the axis AA. If a screwdriver in the on FIG.
  • the hammer 1 shown screw groove 31 of the screw head 30 is inserted, and is rotated, the hammer 1 is pivoted about its axis of rotation 10 depending on up or down. If he is in the on FIG. 2 shown position, that is, if it supports its adjustable resilient stop 4 on the smaller radius r of the eccentric, the hammer 1 can only be pivoted upwards.
  • the eccentric 3 is preferably arranged between the axis of rotation 10 of the hammer 1 and the gong 2 in order to free as much space as possible on the work plate for other gear trains and modules other than the percussion mechanism. In this case, it is attempted to keep the distance between the axis of rotation 10 and the axis A-A of the eccentric as small as possible, so that the pivoting angle depending on the rotation of the eccentric 3, the greater, and therefore the adjustment range, the wider.
  • the hammer 1 is divided into two parts, namely a thick main piece 11, whereupon the impact member is formed, here the striking edge 11a, and a thinner binding member 12 having a bore, and which is movable about the axis of rotation 10.
  • the adjustable resilient stop 4 is preferably arranged on the binding part 12, because it is thus closer to the axis of rotation 10 of the hammer 10 and thus can offer a wide adjustment range when the eccentric 3 cooperates therewith.
  • the resilient adjustable stop 4 is formed integrally with this binding member 12, which saves a fastening step, and at the same time allows a simple production, for example with milling or erosion, thanks to the lower mass of this part compared to the main piece 11.
  • the entire hammer 1 is made of steel, and the entire hammer 1 is integrally formed.
  • the adjustable resilient stop 4 has a needle-shaped form, which optimizes its damping properties. Thus, a kind of fully-integrated return spring is realized, and no separate part is needed more.
  • the needle-shaped resilient adjustable stopper 4 is preferably formed along a direction extending from the rotation axis 10 of the hammer 1 so as to maximize the torques exerted at its tip.
  • the needle-shaped resilient adjustable stop 4 is according to the preferred embodiment of Fig. 1 arranged next to an elongated opening 6; Thus, its production is simple and inexpensive, because only a small mass from the hammer 1 must be cut in order subsequently to achieve the desired needle shape for the resilient stop 4 next to the shaped recess, ie the opening 6.
  • a drive pin 5 is mounted on the binding member 12, and cooperates with a lever, not shown, of the striking mechanism.
  • the hammer 1 moves away from the gong 2, and a so-called - not shown - mainspring is thus covered.
  • the resilient member of the hammer 1, ie, the resilient adjustable stopper 4 bends slightly, allowing the hammer 1 to momentarily touch the gong 2, which is hit by the striking edge 11a. As a result, the tone spring 2 is excited to vibrate.
  • one kind of articulated joint G may be punctured Fig. 1 shown - between the binding member 12 and the main piece 11 are provided, for example, in which a pivotable central member is disposed therebetween, or a thinner portion is formed before the thickening of the main piece 11, so that the deformation forces are exacerbated.
  • a more elastic material may be selected for the binding member 12 than that applied to the main member (NB: in contrast to a conventional opposing spring, which is usually made of a more rigid material compared to that of the mainspring).
  • NB in contrast to a conventional opposing spring, which is usually made of a more rigid material compared to that of the mainspring
  • the subject matter of the present invention encompasses other variants for the needle-shaped resilient adjustable stop.
  • the hammer described above makes it possible to replace both the ordinary counter-spring, and its fastening screw in a striking mechanism, without disturbing the desired damping function for the hammer, and their adjustment and subsequent Correct the pivoting position to simplify.
  • other materials, shapes, and expansion directions for this resilient adjustable stop are quite possible, without coming out of the scope of the invention.
  • the mentioned detailed preferred embodiment is given by way of example only, and should not be construed as limiting the interpretation of the claims.
