Description

L'invention concerne une fermeture à lanière spécialement destinée à une montre, un bijou, un objet à porter au poignet ou analogue, ainsi que la montre, le bijou, l'objet à porter au poignet ou analogue comportant une telle fermeture à lanière.The invention relates to a strap closure specifically for a watch, a jewel, an object to be worn on the wrist or the like, as well as a watch, a jewel, an object to be worn on the wrist or the like comprising such a strap closure.

Dans sa réalisation la plus courante, un bracelet à lanière pour montre comprend deux tronçons de lanière destinés à être accrochés au boîtier de la montre. Le premier tronçon de lanière est pourvu d'un et généralement de plusieurs trous d'accrochage espacés percés dans sa partie extrême opposée au boîtier. Le second tronçon de lanière comporte à sa partie extrême opposée au boîtier un fermoir à boucle et épingle. La boucle et l'épingle sont fixées au second tronçon de lanière grâce à un axe faisant partie du fermoir traversant un passant d'extrémité du tronçon. Ce passant est découpé pour laisser passer l'épingle et permettre son pivotement autour de l'axe du fermoir. Le boîtier de montre est pourvu de part et d'autre de deux paires d'oreilles en vis à vis pourvues de trous de réception, destinés à recevoir deux axes destinés à être montés dans deux passants d'extrémité des deux tronçons de lanière. Enfin, généralement, le bracelet comporte un passant du coté du second tronçon destiné à maintenir l'extrémité du premier tronçon lorsque le bracelet est fermé à demeure.In its most common embodiment, a wrist strap for a watch includes two sections of strap intended to be hooked to the case of the watch. The first strap section is provided with one and generally several spaced attachment holes drilled in its end opposite the housing. The second section of strap has at its end opposite the housing a clasp buckle and pin. The loop and the pin are attached to the second section of thong thanks to an axis forming part of the clasp passing through an end pass of the section. This loop is cut to let the pin and allow its pivoting around the axis of the clasp. The watch case is provided on either side with two pairs of lugs opposite provided with receiving holes, intended to receive two axes intended to be mounted in two end loops of the two strap sections. Finally, generally, the bracelet has a loop on the side of the second section intended to maintain the end of the first section when the bracelet is closed permanently.

Les deux tronçons de lanière présentent généralement une certaine souplesse étant réalisés en cuir, textile, matière plastique ou autre, tout en étant inextensibles, ils peuvent pivoter à leurs deux extrémités, étant montés sur le boîtier par les axes d'accrochage. De même, la boucle et l'épingle du fermoir peuvent pivoter sur le second tronçon de lanière. Le bracelet peut donc être ouvert ou fermé. Pour la fermeture à demeure, on place le bracelet autour du poignet, on le serre suffisamment, on fait pénétrer la partie extrême du premier tronçon de lanière dans la boucle du fermoir et on fait pénétrer l'épingle dans un trou d'accrochage du premier tronçon. Si l'on tire sur les deux tronçons de lanière pour les écarter, l'épingle vient en butée contre la boucle. Pour ouvrir le bracelet, on écarte l'épingle de la boucle de manière à pouvoir sortir l'épingle du trou d'accrochage dans lequel elle est engagée et, enfin, on dégage le premier tronçon de lanière de la boucle.The two sections of strap generally have a certain flexibility being made of leather, textile, plastic or other, while being inextensible, they can rotate at both ends, being mounted on the housing by the shackles. Similarly, the buckle and the pin of the clasp can pivot on the second strap section. The bracelet can be opened or closed. For the permanent closure, the bracelet is placed around the wrist, it is tightened sufficiently, the end part of the first segment of thong is penetrated into the loop of the clasp and the pin is penetrated into a hooking hole of the first. section. If you pull on the two pieces of strap to remove them, the pin comes into abutment against the loop. To open the bracelet, pull the pin out of the buckle so that you can pull the pin out hanging hole in which it is engaged and, finally, it clears the first strap section of the loop.

Le US-A-3 233 801 décrit un bracelet de montre comprenant un ergot de fixation destiné à passer dans des trous prévus dans une lanière de bracelet. Mais cet ergot est une pièce séparée de la lanière et cette dernière ne présente pas de trou dans sa partie médiane ce qui interdit son passage en boucle autour des deux oeillets du boitier de la montre.The US-A-3,233,801 describes a watch strap comprising a fixing lug for passing through holes provided in a bracelet strap.

Vers la seconde partie extrême 9, est rigidement fixé à demeure sur la lanière 3 au moins un ergot d'accrochage rapporté 14, en saillie par rapport à la lanière 3. Comme on le verra par la suite, l'ergot 14 est destiné à assurer l'accrochage de la lanière 3 sur elle-même en coopérant avec un trou d'accrochage tel que les trous 12, 13.Towards the second end portion 9, is rigidly permanently attached to the strap 3 at least one attachment lug 14, projecting from the strap 3. As will be seen later, the lug 14 is intended to ensure the attachment of the strap 3 on itself by cooperating with a hooking hole such as the holes 12, 13.

Selon une première variante de réalisation (figures 2, 5 et 6), la fermeture à lanière 1 comporte deux ergots d'accrochage 14a et 14b, coaxiaux, s'étendant de part et d'autre de la lanière 3. Chacun des ergots 14 a, 14b est agencé pour recevoir une seule partie de la lanière.According to a first variant embodiment (FIGS. 2, 5 and 6), the strap closure 1 comprises two hooking lugs 14a and 14b, coaxial, extending on either side of the strap 3. Each of the lugs 14 a, 14b is arranged to receive a single portion of the strap.

Selon une seconde variante de réalisation (figures 7 et 8), la fermeture à lanière 1 comporte un seul ergot d'accrochage 14c, s'étendant d'un seul coté de la lanière 3. Cet ergot 14c est agencé pour recevoir en superposition deux parties de la lanière.According to a second variant embodiment (FIGS. 7 and 8), the strap fastener 1 comprises a single hooking lug 14c, extending on one side of the strap 3. This lug 14c is arranged to receive two superposed parts of the thong.

L'ergot 14 est fixé à la lanière 3 par insertion, collage, soudage, vissage ou autre moyen. Dans la réalisation représentée sur les figures, l'ergot 14 comporte une platine 15 de fixation insérée à demeure dans l'épaisseur de la lanière 3 ayant deux couches superposées 11a et 11b (figure 3). La lanière 3 est en outre pourvue d'un ou de plusieurs trous 16 de passage du ou des ergots 14.The lug 14 is attached to the strap 3 by insertion, gluing, welding, screwing or other means. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the lug 14 comprises a fixing plate 15 permanently inserted in the thickness of the strap 3 having two superposed layers 11a and 11b (Figure 3). The strap 3 is further provided with one or more holes 16 for passing the lug (s) 14.

Selon une réalisation, l'ergot 14 est renflé vers son extrémité libre, de manière à former à l'arrière de celle-ci une retenue pour la partie correspondante de lanière montée sur l'ergot grâce au trou 12, 13 prévu à cet effet. Selon une réalisation, l'ergot est effilé vers son extrémité libre de manière à pouvoir être inséré plus aisément dans le trou 12, 13.According to one embodiment, the lug 14 is bulged towards its free end, so as to form at the rear thereof a retainer for the corresponding portion of strap mounted on the lug through the hole 12, 13 provided for this purpose . In one embodiment, the lug is tapered towards its free end so that it can be inserted more easily into the hole 12, 13.

Selon une réalisation, la fermeture à lanière 1 comporte également au moins un passant 17.According to one embodiment, the strap closure 1 also comprises at least one passer 17.

La fermeture à lanière 1 est destinée à être montée sur le boîtier 2 pour former un bracelet avec la lanière 3 conformée en boucle à travers les deux oeillets 4 et 5 du boîtier 2. En outre, la lanière 3 est fermée sur elle-même par une coopération trou 12, 13 / ergot 14 obtenue par enfoncement à force par l'utilisateur, la dimension des trous 12 et 14 étant en relation avec celle de l'ergot 14.The strap closure 1 is intended to be mounted on the casing 2 to form a bracelet with the strap 3 looped through the two eyelets 4 and 5 of the casing 2. In addition, the strap 3 is closed on itself by a cooperation hole 12, 13 / pin 14 obtained by depression force by the user, the size of the holes 12 and 14 being in relation with that of the lug 14.

La fermeture à lanière 1 peut être associée au boîtier 2 ou dissociée de lui aisément et rapidement par l'utilisateur soi-même. De ce fait, il est possible avec un seul boîtier 2 de montre de disposer d'une collection de fermetures à lanière 1 caractérisée par des coloris ou des matériaux ou des décors différents.The strap closure 1 can be associated with the housing 2 or dissociated from it easily and quickly by the user yourself. As a result, it is possible with a single watch case 2 to have a collection of strap closures 1 characterized by different colors or materials or decorations.

On décrit maintenant le montage d'association d'une fermeture à lanière selon la première variante de réalisation sur le boîtier 2, en supposant celui-ci placé sensiblement horizontalement avec sa face où se trouve le cadran de la montre en partie supérieure (comme sur la figure 4):

  • On enfile la lanière 3 par sa première extrémité 6 dans l'oeillet 4, par sa face supérieure.
  • On rabat la seconde partie extrême 9 vers le bas.
  • On enfile la première partie extrême de la lanière 3 dans le passant 17 alors placé à proximité des ergots 14a, 14b de la seconde partie extrême 9.
  • La seconde partie extrême 9 est alors située vers l'extérieur du bracelet en cours de constitution et le reste de la lanière vers l'intérieur.
  • On enfonce à force l'ergot 14a dans un trou d'accrochage 13.
  • Le boîtier 2 est alors accroché à la lanière 3 vers sa seconde partie extrême 9 conformée en boucle à travers l'oeillet 4 et cette seconde partie extrême 9 est solidarisée à la partie médiane 8 grâce à l'ergot 14a coopérant avec le second trou d'accrochage 13.
The assembly of association of a strap closure according to the first embodiment variant on the casing 2 is now described, assuming that it is placed substantially horizontally with its face where the dial of the watch is located in the upper part (as on Figure 4):
  • The strap 3 is threaded through its first end 6 into the eyelet 4, by its upper face.
  • We fold the second end part 9 down.
  • The first end portion of the strap 3 is threaded into the loop 17 then placed near the lugs 14a, 14b of the second end portion 9.
  • The second end portion 9 is then located towards the outside of the bracelet being formed and the remainder of the strap inwardly.
  • The stud 14a is depressed by force into a hooking hole 13.
  • The casing 2 is then hooked on the strap 3 towards its second end portion 9 shaped in a loop through the eyelet 4 and this second end portion 9 is secured to the medial portion 8 by virtue of the lug 14a cooperating with the second hole. hanging 13.

On décrit maintenant la fermeture sur elle-même de la fermeture 1 selon cette première variante, ainsi associée au boîtier 2, comme on le fait pour associer la montre au poignet. Par convention, on suppose le boîtier placé comme précédemment :

  • On enfile la lanière 3 par sa première extrémité 6 dans l'oeillet 5, par sa face inférieure.
  • On rabat la première partie extrême 7 vers le bas et vers l'extérieur.
  • On enfonce à force l'ergot 14b dans un trou d'accrochage 12.
We now describe the closing on itself of the closure 1 according to this first variant, thus associated with the housing 2, as is done to associate the wrist watch. By convention, we assume the case placed as before:
  • Thread the strap 3 by its first end 6 in the eyelet 5, by its underside.
  • The first end part 7 is folded downwards and outwards.
  • The stud 14b is depressed by force into a hooking hole 12.

La lanière 3 est alors accrochée de part et d'autre du boîtier 2 et forme par ailleurs une boucle ou anneau apte à être placé autour du poignet de l'utilisateur.The strap 3 is then hung on both sides of the housing 2 and also forms a loop or ring adapted to be placed around the wrist of the user.

Dans cette première variante de réalisation, la seconde partie extrême 9 est placée entre la partie médiane 8 et la première partie extrême 7.In this first embodiment, the second end portion 9 is placed between the middle portion 8 and the first end portion 7.

On décrit maintenant le montage d'association de la fermeture à lanière 1 selon la seconde variante de réalisation sur le boîtier 2 :

  • On enfile la lanière 3 par sa première extrémité 6 dans l'oeillet 4, par sa face inférieure.
  • On rabat la première partie extrême 7 et la partie médiane 8 vers le bas.
  • On enfile la première partie extrême 7 de la lanière 3 dans le passant 17 alors placé à proximité de l'ergot 14c de la seconde partie extrême 9.
  • La seconde partie extrême 9 est alors située vers l'intérieur du bracelet en cours de constitution et le reste de la lanière vers l'extérieur.
  • On enfonce à force l'ergot 14c dans un trou d'accrochage 13.
  • Le boîtier 2 est alors accroché à la lanière 3 vers sa seconde partie extrême 9 conformée en boucle à travers l'oeillet 4 et cette seconde partie extrême 9 est solidarisée à la partie médiane 8 grâce à l'ergot 14c coopérant avec le second trou d'accrochage 13.
The assembly of association of the strap closure 1 according to the second embodiment on the housing 2 is now described:

  • We fold the first end portion 7 and the middle portion 8 down.
  • The first end portion 7 of the strap 3 is threaded into the loop 17 then placed close to the pin 14c of the second end portion 9.
  • The second end portion 9 is then located towards the inside of the bracelet being formed and the remainder of the strap to the outside.
  • The stud 14c is depressed by force into a hooking hole 13.
  • The casing 2 is then hooked on the strap 3 towards its second end portion 9 shaped in a loop through the eyelet 4 and this second end portion 9 is secured to the medial portion 8 by virtue of the lug 14c cooperating with the second hole d hanging 13.

On décrit maintenant la fermeture sur elle-même de la fermeture 1 selon la seconde variante, ainsi associée au boîtier 2 :

  • On enfile la lanière 3 par sa première extrémité 6 dans l'oeillet 5, par sa face inférieure.
  • On rabat la première partie extrême 7 vers le bas et vers l'extérieur.
  • On enfonce à force l'ergot 14c dans un trou d'accrochage 12.
La lanière 3 est alors accrochée de part et d'autre du boîtier 2 et forme par ailleurs une boucle ou anneau apte à être placé autour du poignet de l'utilisateur.We now describe the closing on itself of the closure 1 according to the second variant, thus associated with the housing 2:
  • Thread the strap 3 by its first end 6 in the eyelet 5, by its underside.
  • The first end part 7 is folded downwards and outwards.
  • The stud 14c is depressed by force into a hooking hole 12.
The strap 3 is then hung on both sides of the housing 2 and also forms a loop or ring adapted to be placed around the wrist of the user.

Dans cette seconde variante de réalisation, la partie médiane 8 est placée entre la première partie extrême 7 et la seconde partie extrême 9.In this second embodiment, the middle portion 8 is placed between the first end portion 7 and the second end portion 9.
