- This document describes no other sound mechanism than the vibrator and its associated membrane.
- EP 1 892 592 discloses a timepiece comprising a housing having a sealed portion and an unsealed portion separated by a filter which may be a metal film, a stamp and a striking mechanism comprising a hammer intended to strike this stamp, this striking mechanism and this stamp being located in the sealed portion of the housing.
- the major object of the present invention is to further increase the sound level produced by a timepiece while maintaining or even improving its sealing. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a timepiece, having this particular that the stamp (s) is / are located (s) completely in the unsealed portion of the housing.
- the ringing information from the striking mechanism is reproduced in a medium different from that in which this mechanism is located.
- the movements of the striking mechanism are faithfully reproduced outside the sealed volume in which this striking mechanism is and in this way, the emission of sounds is carried out with maximum efficiency.

- FIG. 14 a timepiece corresponding to the embodiments of Figures 4 and 6, comprising two resonance boxes, in top view.
- the peculiarity of the timepiece according to the invention is that its or its stamps. is / are located in the unsealed part of the housing.
- the timepiece according to the invention comprises transmission means provided for transmitting movements of the striking mechanism, which occur in the sealed portion of the housing, to (x) stamp (s) all of which is in the unsealed part of the case.
- the housing 1 of the timepiece comprises a sealed portion 2 and a non-sealing portion 3.
- the unsealed portion 3 generally surrounds at least partially the watertight part 2.
- the wall 8 of the housing 1 comprises two holes 4 crossed by strikers 5, preferably of generally cylindrical shape and provided at one end with a shoulder 6.
- Parts called sealing guns 7 are fixed in the holes 4 of the wall 8 and traversed by the strikers 5.
- Returning springs 9 are arranged around the strikers 5, between the shoulders 6 and the ends of the sealing guns 7 to push the strikers 5 towards the sealed portion 2 of the housing 1.
- the stamps 10 are arranged so that they can be struck by the ends of the strikers 5.
- the other ends of the latter are in the sealed part 2 of the housing 1, so that it can be struck by hammers 11 forming part of a striking mechanism 40.
- This striking mechanism is a mechanism producing a sound mechanically. It may be a known type of mechanism and therefore does not need to be represented in more detail. There may be mentioned, for example, a conventional wakeup bell mechanism, the classical minute repetition, quarter repeater, large ring repeater mechanisms and the mechanism that is the subject of the European patent application No. EP 1 852 755.
- the unsealed part 3 of the casing 1 is provided on the outside of the casing 1 with openings 13 of any shape, by . round example, allowing the output of the sound produced by the stamps 10.
- parts forming a sound box 12 are placed in the openings 13, in front of the stamps 10, so as to amplify the his product.
- the sealed portions 2 and 3 are unsealed separated at least partially by a resilient membrane arranged to transmit the movements of the percussion mechanism is u (x) the stamp (s).
- This membrane must have a fineness and elasticity sufficient to ensure its displacement in the event of shocks caused by the striking mechanism but still quite rigid, on the one hand, not to vibrate itself under the effect of shocks due to striking mechanism or bearer of the timepiece and, secondly, so that when it hits a stamp, it can vibrate.
- the membrane may therefore consist of a material, such as rubber, a metal or a polymer such as an organic polymer, in particular an elastomer, which must also allow it to be secured to a portion of the housing 1 for example, the middle part, the bottom or the telescope. It may be fixed by any appropriate means, for For example, by clamping, gluing, welding, these operations must make it possible to obtain the tightness of the sealed part 2 of the casing 1.
- the thickness and the surface of the membrane depend on the material of which this membrane is constituted.
- the membrane may have a thickness of 1 mm and a surface of 1 cm 2 .
- the membrane must be located at a location that allows the hammers of the striking mechanism to strike it, preferably as centrally as possible. Thanks to its flexibility, it can then accurately reproduce the rhythm and movements that must be transmitted from the sealed volume to the sealed volume of the housing. Then, she must be able to return to her initial position without vibrating.
- the hammers of the striking mechanism are attached directly to the membrane and pass through the latter in order to be able to hit the stamp or stamps in the non-leakproof portion 3 of the housing 1.
- the membrane designated by the number 14 is provided with at least one striker provided to be struck, sealed side, by the striking mechanism and to strike, side not waterproof, a stamp.
- This striker 15 is fixed integrally and generally irremovably, to the membrane 14 by any appropriate means, for example, by gluing, welding, crimping or driving. It can take various forms, in particular a form of ball. It is intended to restore a mechanical shock, received from the sealed side to a stamp 10 located on the unsealed side of the housing 1. Due to the elasticity and 'to the shape memory of the membrane 14, after transmitting the shock, he can resume his initial position.
- the striker 15 may be for example in the form of a ball 1 mm in diameter. The surface of the disc formed by the ball when it is cut at its center may therefore be equal to or close to that of the hammer to strike it.
- FIG 4 is shown a membrane 17 provided with two identical strikers 15 and 16.
- the membrane 19 comprises a striker 18 composed of a part 20 called a "receiving sub-striker” situated in the sealed part 2 of the case 1 and intended to to be hit by a hammer 11 of the striking mechanism, and a portion 21 called “stamp sub-striker", located in the unsealed portion 3 of the housing 1 and intended to hit a stamp 10.
- the receiving sub-striker 20 and the stamp sub-striker 21 may be made of any suitable materials.
- They can be made of different materials, take different shapes and be assembled together and on the membrane 19 by any appropriate means, for example by screwing, driving, riveting, gluing or welding, in a releasable manner or removably if the it is desired to be able to repair, modify or replace them, in particular with a view to improving the kinematic transmission, the efficiency of the movements, the mechanical rebound characteristics and / or the wave propagation speed in the material constituting them.
- the striker 18 When the striker 18 is alone on the membrane 19, it is preferably in the center thereof.
- the membrane 22 is divided into two parts, preferably equal, and provided with two strikers 23,24 each composed of a receiving striker 26,28 and a stamp sub-striker 25,27, one of strikers 23 and . 24 being assigned to a first stamp and the other to a second stamp.
- the timbres which are the vibrating members, according to the invention, they are fixed in the non-leakproof part 3 of the casing 1, for example, to the middle part, to the bottom, to the bezel or to any other part constituting the part watchmaking. They can be concentric with the middle part, when this one is circular. Thus, because they are located in the unsealed portion 3 of the housing 1 and that it is generally around the sealed portion 2, they have the advantage of being of a greater perimeter than the stamps of the prior art which are housed in the sealed part of the housing. This difference in perimeter translates directly into a higher volume of sounds produced by the timbres.
- stamps are, according to the invention, in the unsealed portion 3 of the housing 1, that is to say that which is provided with openings 13, which allows to leave sounds easily escape from the case 1.
- Figures 7 and 8 show a timepiece according to the invention comprising the membrane variant shown in Figure 6.
- a shoe 29 which is a part whose function is to support the stamps 30 which are fixed on this shoe generally by driving, gluing or welding.
- the stamps 30 are located one above the other, but, alternatively, they can be placed next to each other, on the same level.
- the membrane 22 is fixed at its center 31 to a portion of the housing 1, which divides into two equal parts each carrying a striker 23,24. ⁇
- the stamps 30 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are conventional stamps of. substantially circular shape, such as those visible in Figure 3 of the aforementioned European patent application EP 1 852 755.
- the stamps 10 have a wafer shape, such as the tones of a xylophone, and each is associated with a sound box 12.
- the shape of these sound boxes can be chosen to meet aesthetic criteria.
- the shoe 29 carrying the stamps 30 and which is visible in Figures 7 and 8 is separated from the housing 1 by an intermediate part whose function is to isolate the stamps 30 so that their vibrations are not weakened by absorption by one of the components of the timepiece case.
- the housing wall comprises neither membrane nor holes.
- One or more hammers (x) is / are equipped (s) with a magnet or electromagnet and the stamp (s) provided (s) to cooperate with this or these hammer (s) is / are equipped (s) a magnet or electromagnet so that the movements of the hammer (s) are transmitted electromagnetically corresponding stamp (s).
- a magnet or electromagnet is disposed at the end of the hammers, when they perform their movement back and forth, they come closer, then push back (if we reverse the polarities), other magnets or electromagnets fixed on the stamps. The information on the movements is thus transmitted from one side of the wall to the other without the need to provide a membrane or a striker.
- one or more hammers (x) is / are capable (s) to each actuate a switch associated with an electrical system, which electrical system is capable of sending an electric current to one or more vibrator (s) or actueu (s) associated (s) timbre (s) provided (s) to cooperate with the (s) respective hammer (s), so that the movements of the hammer (s) ( x) be electrically transmitted to the corresponding stamp (s).
- the timepiece does not require any major modification of known striking mechanisms (alarm clock, repetition minutes, etc.).
- the invention can therefore be used with all types of ringing that emit a sound using a system back and forth with a coin that hits another part.
- the manufacture of the timepiece according to the invention essentially has the particularity that there is at least one stamp in the unsealed portion of the housing.
- Transmission means can then be set up to transmit to the stamp (s) of the movement of the striking mechanism occurring the sealed part of the housing.
- a timepiece comprises:
- a housing (1) comprising a sealed part (2) and an unsealed part (3),
- a second mechanism for actuating or being actuated by the first mechanism the second mechanism being located, in particular completely, in the unsealed part (3) of the housing (1).
- a timepiece according to this other aspect of the invention may include any combination of the features described above in the "Detailed Description of the Invention" section, provided that these features are technically compatible.
- a timepiece according to this other aspect of the invention may also or alternatively include any combination of the features mentioned below in the dependent claims, provided that such features are technically compatible.
- the second mechanism may include a pusher and the first mechanism may include any clock mechanism, including a chronograph mechanism or a correction mechanism, in particular a date correction mechanism.
