Description

The invention relates to a barrel for a clock, with a rotatably mounted first barrel drum coaxially with a radial distance surrounds a rotatably mounted first spring core, which is surrounded by a spiral-like first spring, with its inner end to the first spring core and with its outer end is connected to the first barrel barrel, wherein the first barrel drum a ring gear exhibiting elevator wheel is rotatably connected.

The object of the invention is to provide a barrel for a clock of the type mentioned, which has a large power reserve with a small space requirement.

This object is achieved in that coaxially with the first spring core a second barrel drum is rotatably connected coaxially with a radial distance surrounds a rotatably mounted second spring core, which is enclosed by a spiral-like second spring, with its inner end to the second spring core and is connected at its outer end to the second barrel barrel, wherein coaxially with the second spring core a wheel of a gear train of the clock is rotatably connected.

Although the two tension springs are arranged parallel to each other, but connected in series. This leads to a high power reserve at a largely same moment.

Compared to a single spring, a better height-to-thickness ratio of the tension springs is possible, whereby the tension springs are easier to produce at such a high torque. In addition, the life compared to a single spring is much higher.

For a stable training with smaller wall thicknesses, it leads when the first barrel drum and / or the second barrel barrel are pot-shaped with a first and / or second bottom.

If the first spring core is sleeve-shaped and rotatably mounted on a coaxial bearing extension of the second spring core, both barrel drums are securely guided and thus skewing the barrel drums are at least largely avoided.

In addition, this also leads to a small size of the barrel.

It may protrude in a simple construction of the bearing extension of the second spring core with its free end of the sleeve-like extension of the second barrel barrel and rotatably mounted with this free end in a radial bearing.

For easy coaxial positioning of the sleeve-like extension of the second barrel barrel can be supported axially on the radial bearing.

In order to achieve a reduction in friction, bearing blocks can be introduced on the inside of the sleeve-like extension of the second barrel drum, in which the bearing extension of the second spring core is rotatably mounted.

For radial positioning of the first barrel drum, the first barrel drum may have a concentric bearing lug, which is rotatably mounted in a corresponding bearing bore of a fixed bridge wheels.

For proper axial positioning of the first and second barrel drum to each other, the second spring core having a larger cross-section than the bearing extension, wherein the bottom of the second barrel drum is axially supported at the radial transition from the second spring core of larger cross-section to the bearing extension.

Is the first bottom of the first barrel barrel formed step-like on its side facing the elevator wheel and is formed between the radially outer stage and the elevator wheel radially outwardly open and radially encircling guide the same width as the thickness of the bridge wheels, in which the bridge wheels with a bridge wheels is used, the first barrel barrel is guided in a simple manner on the fixed bridge wheels both axially and radially.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. Show it

• 1 a top view of a barrel of a clock
• 2 a section of the barrel after 1 along the line XX

The illustrated barrel for a clock has a first barrel drum 1 on, on their upper side a first floor 2 having.

The first floor 2 is at its the drum interior of the first barrel drum 1 stepped side formed step-like, wherein the first floor 2 on its inner side closer to the drum has a larger diameter and a smaller thickness than on its inside the drum far side with a smaller diameter and a larger thickness.

On the drum interior of the first barrel drum 1 further side of the first floor 2 there is an elevator wheel 3 approximately the same outer diameter as the first floor 2 on and is arranged by means of several circumferentially distributed screws 22 with the elevator wheel 3 firmly connected.

In the area of lesser thickness of the first floor 2 and the elevator wheel 3 is an annular guide groove 4 educated.

A fixed wheel bridge 18 The watch has a wheel bridge hole 19 with a diameter equal to the diameter at the bottom 20 the guide groove 4 in the radially inner region corresponds to the greater thickness of a bearing approach 23 forms.

Before screwing together first ground 2 the first barrel drum 1 with the elevator wheel 3 is the first floor 2 with his bearing approach 23 into the wheel bridge hole 19 and then the elevator wheel 3 by means of screws 21 on the first floor 2 screwed. Here comes the first floor 2 in abutment with the wheel bridge 18, so that the first barrel drum 1 is protected against an obliquity.

The elevator wheel 3 has a center hole 5 in which an annular collar 6 of the first soil 2 protrudes.

Parallel to the first barrel drum 1 is a second barrel drum 7 arranged on its first barrel drum 1 facing side a second floor 8th having.

The second floor 8th Coaxially has a sleeve-like Fortsatu 22 on the inside of the drum of the first barrel drum 1 sticks out and on the first innerspring 9 is screwed on.

In the drum interior of the first barrel drum 1 is a first spiral-like first tension spring 10 arranged the first innerspring 9 encloses and with its outer end with the first barrel drum 1 and with its inner end with the first innerspring 9 connected is.

In the drum interior of the second barrel drum 7 is coaxially a second spring core 11 arranged by a spiral-like second tension spring 12 is enclosed with its outer end with the second barrel drum 7 and is connected at its inner end to the second spring core 11.

The second spring core 11 has a bearing extension 13 smaller diameter, on which the sleeve-like extension 22 the second barrel drum 7 is rotatably mounted.

The bearing extension protrudes with its free end 13 from the sleeve-like extension 22 out and is in a bearing block of a radial bearing 14 rotatably mounted. The bearing stone is to in the sleeve bore 15 of the collar 6 the first barrel drum 1 firmly arranged.

Axial is the sleeve-like extension 22 supported with its front on the bearing stone.

The second floor 8th the second barrel drum 7 is axial on the radial transition 16 from the second innerspring 11 to the bearing extension 13 supported.

In the elevator wheel 3 remote end portion of the second spring core 11 is coaxially a wheel 17 a gear train of the clock rotatably arranged.

The elevator wheel 3 can be rotated by means of a winding crown of the clock and so the two springs 10 and 12 be tense.
