Un tel type de pièce d'horlogerie est décrit par exemple dans le document
La pièce d'horlogerie décrite dans ce document n'est pas complètement satisfaisante car aucun système n'est prévu pour neutraliser la sonnerie lors d'une opération de mise à l'heure. Par conséquent, il existe un risque important de détérioration ou de blocage de certains éléments du mouvement équipant la pièce d'horlogerie, en cas de mauvaise manipulation de la part de l'utilisateur. En effet, l'utilisateur n'ayant pas toujours une bonne connaissance du fonctionnement de la pièce d'horlogerie et de ses complications, il arrive régulièrement que des manipulations déconseillées, comme le déclenchement de la sonnerie pendant une opération de mise à l'heure, soient effectuées malgré des mises en garde, ce qui peut nécessiter un retour de la pièce d'horlogerie en service après-vente.The timepiece described in this document is not completely satisfactory because no system is provided to neutralize the ringer during a time setting operation. Therefore, there is a significant risk of deterioration or blockage of certain elements of the movement equipping the timepiece, in case of mishandling on the part of the user. Indeed, the user does not always have a good knowledge of the operation of the timepiece and its complications, it happens regularly that recommended manipulations, such as triggering the ring during a time setting operation , are made despite warnings, which may require a return of the timepiece in after-sales service.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une pièce d'horlogerie équipée d'un mécanisme de verrouillage simple et fiable pour neutraliser la sonnerie pendant la mise à l'heure.The present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages by proposing a timepiece equipped with a simple and reliable locking mechanism to neutralize the buzzer during the time setting.

Ce levier d'isolement permet d'empêcher une opération de remontage pendant le déclenchement de la sonnerie, pour éviter des détériorations dans les mécanismes de la pièce d'horlogerie.According to another characteristic of the invention, there is provided an isolation lever which is pivotally controlled by a moving part of the striking mechanism when the ring is triggered, from an angular position of rest to an angular position of isolation, so as to cause the sliding pinion to slide from its winding position to an intermediate position, located axially between its winding position and its setting time position. This isolation lever prevents a winding operation during the triggering of the ring, to avoid damage in the mechanisms of the timepiece.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le levier d'isolement est sollicité élastiquement en appui contre la pièce mobile du mécanisme de sonnerie de manière que le pivotement de la pièce mobile lors du déclenchement de la sonnerie provoque le pivotement du levier d'isolement depuis sa position de repos jusqu'à sa position d'isolement. Pour commander le coulissement du pignon coulant, le levier d'isolement s'appuie contre une goupille solidaire de l'extrémité libre pivotante de la tirette. Ces caractéristiques permettent de réaliser la fonction d'isolement de manière simple et fiable avec un minimum de pièces.According to an advantageous embodiment, the isolation lever is urged elastically in abutment against the moving part of the striking mechanism so that the pivoting of the moving part during the triggering of the ringing causes the pivoting of the isolation lever from its rest position to its isolation position. To control sliding pinion sliding, the lever isolation is supported against a pin secured to the free pivoting end of the zipper. These characteristics make it possible to perform the isolation function simply and reliably with a minimum of parts.
