Abstract (en)

[origin: JP2019158873A] To provide a timepiece striking mechanism that removes unwanted noise generated by hammer rebound in striking a gong with a hammer.SOLUTION: A timepiece striking mechanism includes a mechanism for controlling at least one hammer 1. The hammer 1 includes a first striking area 2 arranged to strike, in a first direction of travel, a first resonant component 3 on a first striking surface 30 when the at least one hammer 1 moves from a recoiled position to a first impact position. The hammer 1 includes, opposite to the first striking area 2, a second striking area 5 arranged to strike, in a second direction of travel opposite to the first direction of travel, when the hammer 1 recoils from the first impact position to the recoiled position, a second striking surface 40 included either in the first resonant component 3 or a second resonant component 4 distinct from the first resonant component 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
