Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wristwatch having an animation above the dial.
- CH55403 issued in 1911, describes an innovation to existing cuckoo clocks consisting in that at each call of the cuckoo a mechanism puts into action figures arranged on the front of the pendulum.
- US2504811 describes a table clock with a cuckoo to play a melody composed of different notes, and simultaneously move one or more parts of the bird such as the beak or the tail. A bellows blows air into the whistle.
- CH668846 describes a snuffbox comprising a mechanical songbird placed in a housing provided with a lid.
- the bird can pass a mobile position lying down, resting, in a vertical position, singing under the effect of a spring mechanism controlled by snap.
- the engagement of the mechanism automatically produces a cycle of operations including opening the lid and, simultaneously, the exit of the bird in the singing position, then the song of the bird and, finally, the stop of the song, the bird's return to the resting position, closing the lid and stopping the mechanism itself.
- the Swiss patent CH32172 describes a pocket watch with two-dimensional blacksmiths above the dial, oscillated by the movement of the watch.
- German utility model DE20310007U1 describes a wristwatch or a pocket watch comprising a bird placed behind a window that opens at a given time, simultaneously with the emission of a cuckoo sound, the window then closing.
- Such two-dimensional mobiles in front of or behind the dial create a little visible animation.
- the size of the animated elements above and below the dial must necessarily be limited to leave room for other time indications. Users who are not just above the dial may not see the animation at all, which is only for the wearer of the watch.
- these two-dimensional mobiles move in a plane parallel to the dial, above or below this dial. Such a movement is not very visible for a person who is not at the vertical of the dial. This displacement also covers a surface important over or under the dial, which can not be used for other displays of the watch.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a wristwatch having a more visible animation above the dial than the known animations.
- This watch has the advantage of presenting a three-dimensional character over the dial, more visible than a two-dimensional object.
- the term character includes both humans and animals.
- a three-dimensional animated character in a wristwatch produces a surprise effect, since such characters, known in much larger devices, are totally unexpected in a wristwatch.
- This watch also has the advantage of animating this character, or at least part of this character, by moving it in a non-parallel plane to the dial. This displacement is more visible than a movement parallel to the dial, and also occupies a smaller area of the dial that can be made available for other indicators.
- the movement of the character, and / or part of the character may include at least one translation component not parallel to the dial.
- the movement of the character, and / or part of the character may include at least one component of rotation about an axis not perpendicular to the dial.
- the three-dimensional character may include at least one moving part relative to the rest of the character.
- An axis perpendicular to the dial can control the movements of this moving part.
- the character in addition to these displacements in a non-parallel plane to the dial, the character, or a part of this character, can also undergo an additional displacement, for example a rotation and / or a translation, in a plane parallel to the dial. This makes the animation even more visible, even if this movement parallel to the dial is of little amplitude.
- Parts of the character can move in different non-parallel planes. Parts of the character may move nonplanar.
- the wristwatch may have a plurality of coaxial axes extending above the dial, in a direction perpendicular to the dial, and arranged to move independently one or more parts of the character and / or the entire character.
- an axis can control the movement of the entire character.
- Another axis can control the movement of a part of the character.
- a third axis may be provided to control the movement of a third part of the character.
- the character can be constituted by a mechanical bird.
- the beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of this mechanical bird may be movable relative to the body of the bird.
- the body of the bird can be mobile with respect to the dial.
- the beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of this mechanical bird can be movable in a plane not parallel to the dial.
- the body of the bird can be mobile in a plane parallel to the dial.
- the body of the mechanical bird rotates about itself about an axis perpendicular to the dial, while the head, the tail and the wings rotate about axes not perpendicular to the dial. .
- the body of the character for example of the bird may be hollow and house a mechanism for moving parts of the character, for example to move the beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of said bird according to the movements of the axis or axes.
- the watch movement and the character's training device may be independent of each other.
- the training device of the character may comprise a first cylinder and the watch movement may comprise a second barrel.
- the two barrels can be reassembled independently of one another.
- the training device of the character may include a first regulating member.
- the watch movement may comprise a second regulating member.
- the two regulating organs can be independent of one another.
- the accuracy of the second regulating member may be significantly higher than the accuracy of the first regulating member.
- the first regulating member may be constituted by a simple brake or a feeder device for braking the movements of the character.
- the second regulating member may be constituted by a sprung-balance assembly.
- the watch movement can cause the character's training device.
- the watch movement can provide the energy needed for this training.
- the watch movement can determine when this character begins to be trained.
- the watch movement can regulate the movement speed of the character.
- the character's training device may include a whistle arranged to mimic the field of a bird.
- the wristwatch may include an ice over the dial and the character, a first portion of the ice covering the dial, and a second portion of the ice covering the character.
- the second part may be more curved than the first part. Both parts can be welded or glued to each other.
- the figure 1 illustrates a watch case 200 comprising the character training device 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the watch case has a middle part 201, a bottom 202 and a two part glazed piece 203-206 glued or assembled to one another, one of the parts 206 covering the dial 204 with the time display while the ice portion 203 more convex protects the character 20 which extends above this dial 204, perpendicularly to this dial, being rotated by the lever or the axis 21.
- the element 205 is the watch movement, which in this embodiment is independent and does not cooperate with the character training device 1.
- the watch movement 205 may be mechanical.
- the device 1 for driving the character 20 occupies in this example a volume in the watch case next to and below the volume occupied by the movement 205.
- the movement 205 is off-center with respect to the box, the needles not represented by the movement moving next to the character 20 which does not cover these needles.
- Character training devices 1 on the same plate as the watch movement, or on an auxiliary module cooperating with this movement 205, can however also be imagined.
- dial in this application must be interpreted broadly; it can either be a separate piece, for example an enamelled piece, pearly, etc., or in the case of a skeleton watch for example the upper surface of the movement above which is move the hands of the wristwatch.
- the dial can be defined as the background in front of which the hands and / or the animated character move.
- the plane of the dial is the plane of the upper surface of the dial; in the case of a non-planar surface, the plane of the dial is a plane parallel to the plane of movement of the hands.
- the character 20 is constituted in this example by a three-dimensional mechanical bird that extends prominently above the dial 204.
- the character 20 may be made of metal material, for example precious metal, ceramic, or any other appropriate material. It can be manufactured by molding, machining or bending from sheets of material. It can be feathered.
- the training device 1 of the character 20 may comprise an axis 21 passing through the dial 204 perpendicularly to the dial 204 to drive the character 20 and move it.
- Several axes 21, 21a may be arranged concentrically to independently drive the body of the bird and one or more parts of this bird, for example the tail, the beak and / or the wings. These parts can also be operated independently of each other by several independent axes.
- a hollow outer axis 21 may cause rotation of the complete bird about this axis, in a plane parallel to the dial, while an axis 21a within this axis may cause a displacement of a part of this bird in relation to the body of the bird.
- the axis or axes 21, 21a can be rotated by the device 1, and / or in longitudinal translation.
- the outer axis 21 makes rotational movements about its longitudinal axis, while the axis 21a controlling the parts of the bird performs reciprocating movements back and forth along the same longitudinal axis inside the axis 21. It is possible to use more than two concentric axes. It is possible to independently control several parts of the bird by independent movements of a single axis.
- the character 20 may be hollow. It can house a part of the mechanism to control the movement of the parts of the character according to the movements of the axis 21, 21 a. For example, it can house a mechanism for actuating the head, the beak, the wings and / or the tail of the bird, depending on the movements of the axis 21a.
- the mechanism inside the character 20 may comprise a cam and / or a rocking piece against the force of a spring under the thrust of the axis 21a, in order to simultaneously move the spout, the wings and the tail in relation to the body of the bird. Several pieces can be provided inside the bird to move independently different parts of this character.
- the head of an axis 21a may be provided with a cam to cause the spreading of the wings, or a displacement of another part of the bird, when this axis 21a is turned 90 ° or another angle relative to the body of the bird.
- the movements of the character 20 may involve for example a rotation of the complete character around the axis 21, in a plane parallel to the dial 204 and the plane of movement of the needles.
- the character 20 may for example perform several turns on itself.
- the axis 21 can also be controlled via a rake to perform rotary back and forth movements and to reverse the direction of rotation of the bird.
- the figure 2 illustrates an example of a device portion 1 for driving the character 1 via the axis 21 or the axes 21, 21 a.
- the device comprises a barrel 5 provided with an external toothing 6 meshing with a pinion 100 of a kinematic chain 10.
- the pinion 100 is mounted on the axis of a wheel 101 driving a second pinion 102 on the axis of the wheel 103.
- the transmission ratio between the barrel 5, which performs for example a rotation in two seconds, and the wheel 103, which performs for example ten rotations per second, is advantageously between 1/5 and 1/50, for example 1/20.
- This multiplication ratio can also be obtained with a number of wheels and pinions (simultaneously designated as mobile) different in the driveline 10.
- the barrel 5 is also provided with cams 3, 6a, 6b, for example cams mounted on its periphery, in order to animate a character 20 and / or to actuate various other mechanisms, for example elements of a whistle mechanism.
- the wheel 103 is provided with an eccentric 16 or a cam for actuating a rod not shown to move the piston of a pump producing the air blown into the whistle.
- the kinematic chain 10 further comprises a regulating member 17, constituted here by weights on one of the mobiles 101b downstream of the wheel 103.
- the flyweights 17 deviate from the center of rotation of the mobile 101b when it starts to move. turn, which increases its moment of inertia and tends to slow down and regulate its speed and that of the entire kinematic chain.
- Other control mechanisms including sprung balance mechanisms, brakes, etc. can be used.
- One or more of the mobiles of the kinematic chain 10, for example the cams 3 and 6a, are connected to an articulated personage 20, for example a mechanical bird or another animated character perpendicular to the dial, by means of connecting elements 21 and 21a, so as to actuate this mobile when the kinematic chain rotates.
- an articulated personage 20 for example a mechanical bird or another animated character perpendicular to the dial
- the cam 3 further allows to actuate an accessory mechanism, for example a valve upstream of a whistle to mimic the song of the bird.
- the cam 6b makes it possible to move a piston in the whistle to modulate the sound produced.
- the cam 6a controls a lever (or axis) 21 to control the rotation of the character 20 on itself, around an axis perpendicular to the dial 204 and passing through the character 20.
- the rotational movement of this character can be alternated, in performing successions of back and forth and rotations in one direction and then in the other, thanks to a not shown rake mechanism.
- the axis 21 advantageously crosses the dial 204 perpendicularly to the dial.
- the cam 3 further controls the lever (or shaft, rod) 21a which passes through a longitudinal opening through the axis 21.
- the lever 21 has advantageously displaced in a movement of translation along its longitudinal axis, so as to control a displacement of the beak, the wings and / or the tail of the bird 20 relative to the body of the bird.
- the end of the lever 21 has advantageously to pull or push a rocker in the body of the bird, against the force of a spring not shown, in order to act simultaneously on the position of the nozzle, wings and tail by making each rotate around an axis not perpendicular to the dial.
- the axis 21a is a rotary axis and acts through a cam or a connecting rod on the moving parts of the character 20.
- Different axes or levers can be provided to independently actuate different parts of the character 20, for example to move the wings independently of the tail or the beak.
- the different axes or levers can be concentric.
- the axis or axes 21, 21a for controlling the character 20 are thus actuated by one of the mobiles of the kinematic chain.
- Different axes 21, 21a can be driven at different speeds by different mobile.
- the speed of rotation of the axes can be irregular, for example under the effect of a cam, a Maltese cross, etc. It is also possible to drive one or more axes 21, 21a in translation.

Description
La présente invention concerne une montre-bracelet munie d'une animation au-dessus du cadran.The present invention relates to a wristwatch having an animation above the dial.
Les oiseaux chanteurs sont connus en particulier dans les horloges à coucou ou dans les tabatières. Le concept d'horloges à coucou aurait été créé vers 1738 en Forêt-Noire. Traditionnellement ces horloges présentent un balancier apparent animé par des poids et un boîtier décoré en forme de chalet. Chaque heure ou chaque demi-heure, les portes du chalet s'ouvrent et un oiseau mécanique surgit de son nid et chante. Aujourd'hui, les pendules à coucous comprennent le plus souvent un mouvement à quartz et des sonneries électroniques.Songbirds are known in particular in cuckoo clocks or snuffboxes. The concept of cuckoo clocks was created around 1738 in the Black Forest. Traditionally, these clocks have an apparent pendulum with weights and a cottage-style casing. Every hour or half-hour, the doors of the chalet open and a mechanical bird emerges from its nest and sings. Today, cuckoo clocks most often include a quartz movement and electronic ringtones.
Les horloges à coucou et autres dispositifs ci-dessus nécessitent un volume très important, et sont donc difficilement transportables.Cuckoo clocks and other devices above require a very large volume, and are therefore difficult to transport.
Différentes tentatives ont aussi été effectuées pour animer le cadran de montres-bracelets avec différents affichages qui se superposent à l'affichage des indications horaires.Various attempts have also been made to animate the wristwatch dial with different displays which are superimposed on the display of time indications.
Ainsi, le brevet suisse
Le modèle d'utilité allemand
De tels mobiles bidimensionnels devant ou derrière le cadran créent une animation peu visible. La taille des éléments animés par-dessus et par-dessous le cadran doit nécessairement être limitée pour laisser de la place aux autres indications horaires. Des utilisateurs qui ne se trouvent pas juste au-dessus du cadran risquent de ne pas voir du tout l'animation, qui est uniquement destinée au porteur de la montre.Such two-dimensional mobiles in front of or behind the dial create a little visible animation. The size of the animated elements above and below the dial must necessarily be limited to leave room for other time indications. Users who are not just above the dial may not see the animation at all, which is only for the wearer of the watch.
En outre, ces mobiles bidimensionnels se déplacent dans un plan parallèle au cadran, au-dessus ou au-dessous de ce cadran. Un tel déplacement est peu visible pour une personne qui ne se trouve pas à la verticale du cadran. Ce déplacement couvre par ailleurs une surface importante par-dessus ou par-dessous le cadran, qui ne peut pas être utilisée pour d'autres affichages de la montre.In addition, these two-dimensional mobiles move in a plane parallel to the dial, above or below this dial. Such a movement is not very visible for a person who is not at the vertical of the dial. This displacement also covers a surface important over or under the dial, which can not be used for other displays of the watch.
Il existe donc un besoin pour des montres-bracelets comportant des animations plus visibles au-dessus du cadran, par exemple afin de marquer des événements particuliers tels que le passage d'une heure, une heure de réveil, ou simplement la volonté de l'utilisateur, d'une façon beaucoup plus visible, qui ne peut pas échapper à l'attention du porteur de la montre et même des autres personnes à proximité immédiate du porteur de la montre.There is therefore a need for wristwatches with more visible animations above the dial, for example to mark particular events such as the passage of an hour, an hour of waking, or simply the will of the user, in a much more visible way, which can not escape the attention of the wearer of the watch and even other people in the immediate vicinity of the wearer of the watch.
Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer une montre-bracelet présentant une animation plus visible au-dessus du cadran que les animations connues.An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a wristwatch having a more visible animation above the dial than the known animations.
Selon l'invention, ce but est atteint notamment au moyen d'une montre-bracelet comportant les caractéristiques revendiquées dans la revendication 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved in particular by means of a wristwatch having the features claimed in
Selon un aspect, la montre-bracelet comprend:
- une boîte de montre;
- un mouvement horloger dans ladite boîte de montre;
- un cadran;
- un personnage tridimensionnel au-dessus dudit cadran;
- un axe s'étendant au-dessus dudit cadran, dans une direction perpendiculaire au cadran, agencé de manière à pouvoir produire un déplacement d'au moins une partie dudit personnage tridimensionnel dans un plan non-parallèle au cadran;
- un dispositif d'entraînement du personnage sous ledit cadran pour contrôler les déplacements dudit axe.
- a watch case;
- a watch movement in said watch case;
- a dial;
- a three-dimensional character above said dial;
- an axis extending above said dial, in a direction perpendicular to the dial, arranged to be able to produce a displacement of at least a portion of said three-dimensional character in a non-parallel plane to the dial;
- a character training device under said dial to control the movements of said axis.
Cette montre présente l'avantage de présenter un personnage tridimensionnel par-dessus le cadran, plus visible qu'un objet bidimensionnel.This watch has the advantage of presenting a three-dimensional character over the dial, more visible than a two-dimensional object.
Dans cette demande, le terme personnage englobe aussi bien des humains que des animaux.In this application, the term character includes both humans and animals.
Un personnage en trois dimensions animé dans une montre-bracelet produit un effet de surprise, puisque des tels personnages, connus dans des dispositifs beaucoup plus volumineux, sont totalement inattendus dans une montre-bracelet.A three-dimensional animated character in a wristwatch produces a surprise effect, since such characters, known in much larger devices, are totally unexpected in a wristwatch.
Cette montre présente en outre l'avantage d'animer ce personnage, ou au moins une partie de ce personnage, en le déplaçant dans un plan non-parallèle au cadran. Ce déplacement est plus visible qu'un déplacement parallèle au cadran, et occupe en outre une surface moins importante du cadran qui peut être mise à disposition pour d'autres indicateurs.This watch also has the advantage of animating this character, or at least part of this character, by moving it in a non-parallel plane to the dial. This displacement is more visible than a movement parallel to the dial, and also occupies a smaller area of the dial that can be made available for other indicators.
Le déplacement du personnage, et/ou d'une partie du personnage, peut comporter au moins une composante de translation non parallèle au cadran.The movement of the character, and / or part of the character, may include at least one translation component not parallel to the dial.
Le déplacement du personnage, et/ou d'une partie du personnage, peut comporter au moins une composante de rotation autour d'un axe non-perpendiculaire au cadran.The movement of the character, and / or part of the character, may include at least one component of rotation about an axis not perpendicular to the dial.
Le personnage tridimensionnel peut comporter au moins une partie mobile par rapport au reste du personnage. Un axe perpendiculaire au cadran peut contrôler les déplacements de cette partie mobile.The three-dimensional character may include at least one moving part relative to the rest of the character. An axis perpendicular to the dial can control the movements of this moving part.
En plus de ces déplacements dans un plan non-parallèle au cadran, le personnage, ou une partie de ce personnage, peut aussi subir un déplacement supplémentaire, par exemple une rotation et/ou une translation, dans un plan parallèle au cadran. Cela rend l'animation encore plus visible, même si ce déplacement parallèle au cadran est de peu d'amplitude.In addition to these displacements in a non-parallel plane to the dial, the character, or a part of this character, can also undergo an additional displacement, for example a rotation and / or a translation, in a plane parallel to the dial. This makes the animation even more visible, even if this movement parallel to the dial is of little amplitude.
Différentes parties du personnage peuvent se déplacer dans différents plans non parallèles. Des parties du personnage peuvent effectuer des déplacements non planaires.Different parts of the character can move in different non-parallel planes. Parts of the character may move nonplanar.
La montre-bracelet peut comporter plusieurs axes coaxiaux s'étendant au-dessus du cadran, dans une direction perpendiculaire à ce dernier, et agencés de manière à déplacer indépendamment les uns des autres une ou plusieurs parties du personnage et/ou le personnage entier. Par exemple, un axe peut contrôler le déplacement du personnage entier. Un autre axe peut contrôler le déplacement d'une partie du personnage. Un troisième axe peut éventuellement être prévu pour contrôler le déplacement d'une troisième partie du personnage.The wristwatch may have a plurality of coaxial axes extending above the dial, in a direction perpendicular to the dial, and arranged to move independently one or more parts of the character and / or the entire character. For example, an axis can control the movement of the entire character. Another axis can control the movement of a part of the character. A third axis may be provided to control the movement of a third part of the character.
Le personnage peut être constitué par un oiseau mécanique. Le bec et/ou les ailes et/ou la queue de cet oiseau mécanique peuvent être mobiles par rapport au corps de l'oiseau. Le corps de l'oiseau peut être mobile par rapport au cadran. Le bec et/ou les ailes et/ou la queue de cet oiseau mécanique peuvent être mobiles dans un plan non parallèle au cadran. Le corps de l'oiseau peut être mobile dans un plan parallèle au cadran.The character can be constituted by a mechanical bird. The beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of this mechanical bird may be movable relative to the body of the bird. The body of the bird can be mobile with respect to the dial. The beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of this mechanical bird can be movable in a plane not parallel to the dial. The body of the bird can be mobile in a plane parallel to the dial.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le corps de l'oiseau mécanique effectue une rotation sur lui-même autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au cadran, tandis que la tête, la queue et les ailes effectuent des rotations autour d'axes non perpendiculaires au cadran.In one embodiment, the body of the mechanical bird rotates about itself about an axis perpendicular to the dial, while the head, the tail and the wings rotate about axes not perpendicular to the dial. .
Le corps du personnage, par exemple de l'oiseau peut être creux et abriter un mécanisme pour déplacer des parties du personnage, par exemple pour déplacer le bec et/ou les ailes et/ou la queue dudit oiseau en fonction des déplacements de l'axe ou des axes.The body of the character, for example of the bird may be hollow and house a mechanism for moving parts of the character, for example to move the beak and / or the wings and / or the tail of said bird according to the movements of the axis or axes.
Le mouvement horloger et le dispositif d'entraînement du personnage peuvent être indépendants l'un de l'autre.The watch movement and the character's training device may be independent of each other.
Le dispositif d'entraînement du personnage peut comporter un premier barillet et le mouvement horloger peut comporter un deuxième barillet. Les deux barillets peuvent être remontés indépendamment l'un de l'autre.The training device of the character may comprise a first cylinder and the watch movement may comprise a second barrel. The two barrels can be reassembled independently of one another.
Le dispositif d'entraînement du personnage peut comporter un premier organe réglant. Le mouvement horloger peut comporter un deuxième organe réglant. Les deux organes réglants peuvent être indépendants l'un de l'autre. La précision du deuxième organe réglant peut être nettement plus élevée que la précision du premier organe réglant. Le premier organe réglant peut être constitué par un simple frein ou un dispositif à masselotte pour freiner les déplacements du personnage. Le deuxième organe réglant peut être constitué par un ensemble balancier-spiral.The training device of the character may include a first regulating member. The watch movement may comprise a second regulating member. The two regulating organs can be independent of one another. The accuracy of the second regulating member may be significantly higher than the accuracy of the first regulating member. The first regulating member may be constituted by a simple brake or a feeder device for braking the movements of the character. The second regulating member may be constituted by a sprung-balance assembly.
Dans une variante, le mouvement horloger peut entraîner le dispositif d'entraînement du personnage. Le mouvement horloger peut fournir l'énergie nécessaire à cet entraînement. Le mouvement horloger peut déterminer le moment auquel ce personnage commence à être entraîné. Le mouvement horloger peut réguler la vitesse de déplacement du personnage.In a variant, the watch movement can cause the character's training device. The watch movement can provide the energy needed for this training. The watch movement can determine when this character begins to be trained. The watch movement can regulate the movement speed of the character.
Le dispositif d'entraînement du personnage peut comporter un sifflet agencé pour imiter le champ d'un oiseau.The character's training device may include a whistle arranged to mimic the field of a bird.
La montre-bracelet peut comporter une glace par-dessus le cadran et le personnage, une première partie de cette glace couvrant le cadran, et une deuxième partie de cette glace couvrant le personnage. La deuxième partie peut être plus bombée que la première partie. Les deux parties peuvent être soudées ou collées l'une à l'autre.The wristwatch may include an ice over the dial and the character, a first portion of the ice covering the dial, and a second portion of the ice covering the character. The second part may be more curved than the first part. Both parts can be welded or glued to each other.

- La
figure 1 illustre une vue en coupe d'une montre-bracelet selon l'invention. - La
figure 2 illustre de manière schématique une portion du dispositif d'entraînement de personnage selon l'invention.

La
L'élément 205 est le mouvement de montre, qui dans ce mode de réalisation est indépendant et ne coopère pas avec le dispositif 1 d'entraînement de personnage. Le mouvement de montre 205 peut être mécanique. Le dispositif 1 pour entraîner le personnage 20 occupe dans cet exemple un volume dans la boîte de montre à côté et en-dessous du volume occupé par le mouvement 205. Le mouvement 205 est décentré par rapport à la boîte, les aiguilles non représentées du mouvement se déplaçant à côté du personnage 20 qui ne recouvre donc pas ces aiguilles.The
Des dispositifs 1 d'entraînement de personnage 3 sur la même platine que le mouvement de montre, ou sur un module auxiliaire coopérant avec ce mouvement 205, peuvent cependant aussi être imaginés.
Le terme de cadran dans cette demande doit être interprété de manière large ; il peut soit s'agir d'une pièce distincte, par exemple d'une pièce émaillée, nacrée, etc, soit dans le cas d'une montre squelette par exemple de la surface supérieure du mouvement au-dessus duquel se déplacent les aiguilles de la montre-bracelet. De manière générale, le cadran peut être défini comme l'arrière-plan devant lequel se déplacent les aiguilles et/ou le personnage animé. Le plan du cadran est le plan de la surface supérieure du cadran ; dans le cas d'une surface non plane, le plan du cadran est un plan parallèle au plan de déplacement des aiguilles.The term dial in this application must be interpreted broadly; it can either be a separate piece, for example an enamelled piece, pearly, etc., or in the case of a skeleton watch for example the upper surface of the movement above which is move the hands of the wristwatch. Generally speaking, the dial can be defined as the background in front of which the hands and / or the animated character move. The plane of the dial is the plane of the upper surface of the dial; in the case of a non-planar surface, the plane of the dial is a plane parallel to the plane of movement of the hands.
Le personnage 20 est constitué dans cet exemple par un oiseau mécanique tridimensionnel qui s'étend de manière proéminente au-dessus du cadran 204. Le personnage 20 peut être réalisé en matériau métallique, par exemple en métal précieux, en céramique, ou en tout autre matériau approprié. Il peut être fabriqué par moulage, par usinage ou par pliage à partir de feuilles de matériau. Il peut être muni de plumes.The
Le dispositif 1 d'entraînement du personnage 20 peut comporter un axe 21 traversant le cadran 204 perpendiculairement au cadran 204 pour entraîner le personnage 20 et le déplacer. Plusieurs axes 21, 21a peuvent être disposés concentriquement pour entraîner de manière indépendante le corps de l'oiseau et une ou plusieurs parties de cet oiseau, par exemple la queue, le bec et/ou les ailes. Ces parties peuvent aussi être actionnées indépendamment les unes des autres par plusieurs axes indépendants. Dans un exemple, un axe externe 21 creux peut provoquer une rotation de l'oiseau complet autour de cet axe, dans un plan parallèle au cadran, tandis qu'un axe 21a à l'intérieur de cet axe peut entraîner un déplacement d'une partie de cet oiseau par rapport au corps de l'oiseau. Le ou les axes 21, 21 a peuvent être entraînés en rotation par le dispositif 1, et/ou en translation longitudinale. Dans un exemple, l'axe externe 21 effectue des mouvements de rotation autour de son axe longitudinal, tandis que l'axe 21a commandant les parties de l'oiseau effectue des mouvements de translation en va-et-vient le long du même axe longitudinal, à l'intérieur de l'axe 21. Il est possible d'utiliser plus de deux axes concentriques. Il est possible de commander indépendamment plusieurs parties de l'oiseau au moyen de déplacements indépendants d'un seul axe.The
Le personnage 20 peut être creux. Il peut abriter une partie du mécanisme pour commander le déplacement des parties du personnage en fonction des déplacements de l'axe 21, 21 a. Par exemple, il peut abriter un mécanisme pour actionner la tête, le bec, les ailes et/ou la queue de l'oiseau, en fonction des déplacements de l'axe 21 a. Le mécanisme à l'intérieur du personnage 20 peut comporter une came et/ou une pièce basculant à l'encontre de la force d'un ressort sous la poussée de l'axe 21 a, afin de déplacer simultanément le bec, les ailes et la queue par rapport au corps de l'oiseau. Plusieurs pièces peuvent être prévues à l'intérieur de l'oiseau pour déplacer indépendamment les unes des autres différentes parties de ce personnage.The
Dans un autre exemple, la tête d'un axe 21a peut être munie d'une
came pour provoquer l'écartement des ailes, ou un déplacement d'une autre partie de l'oiseau, lorsque cet axe 21 a est tourné de 90° ou d'un autre angle par rapport au corps de l'oiseau.In another example, the head of an
cam to cause the spreading of the wings, or a displacement of another part of the bird, when this
Les déplacements du personnage 20 peuvent impliquer par exemple une rotation du personnage complet autour de l'axe 21, dans un plan parallèle au cadran 204 et au plan de déplacement des aiguilles. Le personnage 20 peut par exemple effectuer plusieurs tours sur lui-même. L'axe 21 peut aussi être commandé via un râteau pour effectuer des mouvements rotatif de va-et-vient et d'inverser le sens de rotation de l'oiseau.The movements of the
Il est aussi possible de déplacer le personnage complet dans un plan ou selon une direction non parallèle au cadran 204, par exemple pour le faire sortir du cadran, par exemple en pivotant autour d'un axe horizontal et/ou en apparaissant au-travers d'un volet ouvrant. Des parties du personnage, par exemple les ailes, le bec, la queue etc peuvent se déplacer par rapport au corps du personnage, par exemple en effectuant une rotation par rapport au corps de ce personnage autour d'un axe non perpendiculaire au cadran 204.It is also possible to move the complete character in a plane or in a direction not parallel to the
La
Le barillet 5 est également muni de cames 3, 6a, 6b, par exemple de cames montées sur son pourtour, afin d'animer un personnage 20 et/ou d'actionner différents autres mécanismes, par exemple des éléments d'un mécanisme de sifflet. La roue 103 est munie d'un excentrique 16 ou d'une came permettant d'actionner une bielle non représentée pour mouvoir le piston d'une pompe produisant l'air insufflé dans le sifflet.The
La chaine cinématique 10 comprend en outre un organe régulateur 17, constitué ici par des masselottes sur un des mobiles 101 b en aval de la roue 103. Les masselottes 17 s'écartent du centre de rotation du mobile 101b lorsque celui-ci se met à tourner, ce qui augmente son moment d'inertie et tend à le ralentir et à réguler sa vitesse et celle de l'ensemble de la chaîne cinématique. D'autres mécanismes de régulation, y compris des mécanismes basés sur un balancier-spiral, des freins etc. peuvent être employés.The
Un ou plusieurs des mobiles de la chaine cinématique 10, par exemple les cames 3 et 6a, sont reliés à un personnage articulé 20, par exemple un oiseau mécanique ou un autre personnage animé perpendiculaire au cadran, au moyen d'éléments de liaison 21 et 21 a, de manière à actionner ce mobile lorsque la chaîne cinématique tourne.One or more of the mobiles of the
La came 3 permet en outre d'actionner un mécanisme accessoire, par exemple une valve en amont d'un sifflet pour imiter le chant de l'oiseau. La came 6b permet de déplacer un piston dans le sifflet pour moduler le son produit.The
La came 6a commande un levier (ou axe) 21 pour commander la rotation du personnage 20 sur lui-même, autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au cadran 204 et traversant le personnage 20. Le mouvement de rotation de ce personnage peut être alterné, en effectuant des successions de va-et-vient et de rotations dans un sens puis dans l'autre, grâce à un mécanisme de râteau non représenté. L'axe 21 traverse avantageusement le cadran 204 perpendiculairement au cadran.The
La came 3 commande en outre le levier (ou axe, tringle) 21 a qui passe dans une ouverture longitudinale au travers de l'axe 21. Sous l'action de la came 3, le levier 21 a se déplace avantageusement selon un mouvement de translation selon son axe longitudinal, de manière à commander un déplacement du bec, des ailes et/ou de la queue de l'oiseau 20 par rapport au corps de l'oiseau. L'extrémité du levier 21 a permet avantageusement de tirer ou de pousser une bascule dans le corps de l'oiseau, à l'encontre de la force d'un ressort non représenté, afin d'agir simultanément sur la position du bec, des ailes et de la queue en les faisant chacun pivoter autour d'un axe non perpendiculaire au cadran.The
Dans une variante, l'axe 21 a est un axe rotatif et agit au travers d'une came ou d'une bielle sur les parties mobiles du personnage 20.In a variant, the
Différents axes ou leviers peuvent être prévus pour actionner indépendamment différentes parties du personnage 20, par exemple pour bouger les ailes indépendamment de la queue ou du bec. Les différents axes ou leviers peuvent être concentriques.Different axes or levers can be provided to independently actuate different parts of the
Le ou les axes 21, 21a permettant de commander le personnage 20 sont ainsi actionnés par un des mobiles de la chaîne cinématique. Différents axes 21, 21a peuvent être entraînés à différentes vitesses par différents mobiles. La vitesse de rotation des axes peut être irrégulière, par exemple sous l'effet d'une came, d'une croix de malte, etc. Il est aussi possible d'entraîner un ou plusieurs axes 21, 21 a en translation.The axis or axes 21, 21a for controlling the
Un sifflet déjà mentionné peut être actionné par une came sur la même chaîne cinématique 10 que le personnage 20, par exemple par la même came 3 que celle qui agit aussi sur l'axe 21 a commandant le bec de l'oiseau. Ainsi, les mouvements d'ouverture du bec sont parfaitement synchronisés avec les sons émis par le sifflet.A whistle already mentioned may be actuated by a cam on the same
Le mécanisme du sifflet peut comporter un piston pour moduler la hauteur de la note jouée. Il peut comporter un deuxième piston actionné par la chaîne cinématique 10 pour pomper de l'air dans le sifflet.The whistle mechanism may include a piston to modulate the pitch of the played note. It may comprise a second piston actuated by the
Le dispositif selon l'invention peut comprendre un actuateur, par exemple un bouton-poussoir, un levier etc, actionnable manuellement par l'utilisateur afin de libérer le barillet 5 et de déclencher manuellement le déplacement du personnage 20. L'actionnement de l'actuateur, non représenté, permet de libérer le barillet permettant lui-même l'animation du personnage. Le même actuateur, ou un actuateur différent, peut en outre être utilisé pour recharger le barillet 5.The device according to the invention may comprise an actuator, for example a push button, a lever etc., manually actuable by the user to release the
Dans une variante, le déclenchement de l'animation peut également être effectué automatiquement, par exemple au passage des heures, des demi-heures ou encore des quarts d'heure. Le déclenchement de l'animation peut également être effectué de manière programmée par exemple à l'aide d'une fonction de la montre, notamment une fonction de réveil, de quantième, etc.Alternatively, the triggering of the animation can also be performed automatically, for example the passage of hours, half-hours or quarter of an hour. The triggering of the animation can also be done in a programmed manner for example using a function of the watch, including an alarm function, calendar, etc..
