Embodiment Construction

[0023] In the following description, all parts of the striking mechanism including the resonating member of a striking or musical watch that are well known in the technical field will only be briefly described. The focus is mainly on resonant members and their manufacture for striking mechanisms in watch cases or music boxes.

[0024] figure 1 A resonator member 1 is shown, which includes a resonator portion 2 and an attachment portion 3 . In this example, the resonating part 2 comprises the gong 2 and the attachment part 3 is a plate in the form of a gong bracket extending from the first end of the gong 2 . Generally speaking, the other end of gong 2 is free. The resonating part 2 and the attachment part 3 preferably form a single part, ie they are manufactured in one piece from the same material. According to the invention, the material used is a copper alloy containing at least 70% by weight copper.

[0025] The attachment portion 3 may have the same thickness as that o...

Abstract

The invention relates to a resonant member 1 for a striking mechanism of a watch or of a music box includes at least one resonant part 2, such as one or more gongs, arranged to vibrate and resonate once activated, and an attachment part 3. The resonant part is made from a copper alloy with more than 70% of copper in the alloy.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a resonating member for a striking mechanism of a watch or a music box, comprising at least one resonating part or vibrating plate, said at least one resonating part being, for example, one or more gongs. Each strip of said one or more gongs or of the vibrating plate must be designed with a specific material to take into account the space available inside the case while ensuring that when said one or more gongs are struck or A rich sound is produced when one or more strips are actuated. [0002] The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a resonating member. Background technique [0003] In the field of horology, a horological movement can be provided with a striking mechanism, such as a minute repeater. For this purpose, the resonating member used comprises a gong, which is a round wire, eg made of steel. This wire is usually placed inside the case around the movement. The gongs are fixed, for example ...
