- Such arrangement makes it possible to assemble and disassemble the strip 4 easily and quickly without the risk of damaging it or twisting it.
- the watch case 1 comprises means for maintaining the position of the bar 4.
- these holding means are in the form of a pair of ball pawls 14, each ball pawl 14 being arranged to cooperate with a first pair of cavities 42 and a second pair of cavities 42' formed on the body 40 of bar 4.
- the bar 4 is formed by a hollow cylindrical body 40 having at least one housing 41, the housing 41 being arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one insert 21 made in a connecting link 20 of the bracelet strand 2 or a link.
- Bar 4 also comprises first and second pivots 43 arranged in hollow body 40, the two pivots being separated by a spring 15 held against the ends of the two pivots.
- the spring 15 is for example a helical spring.
- the hollow body 40 is provided with a longitudinal groove 44 in the center of the bar, the longitudinal direction being taken as the largest direction in which the hollow body 40 stretches.
- the longitudinal groove 44 forms an opening in the surface of the hollow body 40.
- the hollow body 40 further comprises two additional grooves 45 extending from the ends of the longitudinal groove 44. In the embodiment illustrated in the figures 3a to 3c , the additional grooves 45 extend perpendicular to the longitudinal groove 44, or at an angle close to 90°.
- the additional grooves 45 also form an opening in the surface of the hollow body 40.
- the additional grooves 45 each have a length less than that of the longitudinal groove 44.
- Each of the pivots 43 further comprises a tenon 46 secured thereto.
- Tenon 46 extends from an outer surface of the pivot, substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in which the pivots extend.
- Each tenon 46, integral with a pivot 43 extends through the longitudinal groove 44 of the hollow body of the bar 4, and is capable of sliding along this groove 44.
- the pivot and the tenon are preferably formed from a single piece of material.
- the removable cover 12 has on its internal face at least one oblong machining 16 arranged to cooperate with a tenon 46, the length of the machining defining the stroke length of the pivot.
- the bar 4 comprises two housing 41, arranged on either side of the longitudinal groove 44, and having a substantially rectangular opening 410 to receive an insert 21 of the bracelet strand 2, the height and the length of the opening 410 corresponding to the height and the length of the inserts 21 of the bracelet strand.

- the bar 4 comprises a flange 50 integral with each of the ends of the bar 4, the bar and the flanges 50 then forming a single element. It can also be envisaged to assemble the collar 50 at the end of the bar 4 by means of an insertion tip mounted in a hollow part of the bar 4. An internal bulge is then arranged at the end of the bar 4 to cooperate with the insertion tip, in order to clip the collar 50 in the bar 4. Other methods of fixing the collars 50 can be envisaged, such as for example by gluing, welding, or even by driving. The latter act as axial retaining elements for the strip 4 and the insert 21.
- the bar 4 can be made up of three parts, or it can form only one, with the flanges 50 pre-molded at the ends of the rod 40, the housings 41, the cavities 42, 42', and the grooves 44 and 45 then being milled directly into the body 40. Furthermore, the section of the bar 4 and collars 50 have been chosen to be cylindrical to facilitate a degree of freedom in rotation around its axis AA.
- the middle horn 10 acts as a radial retaining element, complementary to the groove 110 whose shape and depth are complementary to that of the body 40 so that the bar 4 cannot come out of the groove 110 during its installation.
- the middle horn 10 comprises two housings receiving the ball pawls 14, the latter being arranged to cooperate with the cavities 42, 42' of the bar 4, their respective sizes and depths are configured such that the strip 4 no longer has any degree of freedom in the groove 110 when the pawls 14 are engaged in the cavities 42 or 42' of the strip 4.
- the watch case 1 comprises first vertical side walls 100 opposite which are provided lateral clearances 101 in the middle of the case to house therein the collars 50 of the strip 4.
- the collars 50 here taking a cylindrical shape, the clearances side 101 have a corresponding form of cylindrical excavation in the watch case 1.
- the inserts 21 are introduced, corresponding for example to the end of a strand or a connecting link 20, at the level of the bar 4 by presenting the inserts facing the openings 410 of the housings 41 of the bar 4.
- the bar 4 In its first position A, the bar 4 allows access to the housings 41 and the placement of the inserts 21 from below, the openings 410 being oriented towards the bottom of the watch case 1.
- a “click” allows the bracelet to be positioned when the inserts 21 are engaged by the pivots 43, preventing the bracelet from falling, and facilitating rotational locking without exerting pressure on it.
- the user rotates the bar around the axis AA by means of the bracelet strand towards the position B until the bar performs a rotation of at least 45° around the axis AA with respect to its position A, and more preferably of 90°, thus the bracelet strand can no longer be dislodged as one can observe it figure 3c .
- the ball pawls 14 cooperate with the first cavities 42 of the body 40 of the strip 4 so as to lock the strip in position B.
- the insert 20 matches the shape of the middle horn 10 so as to limit play during assembly and provide a good quality assembly.
- the insert is arranged on a connecting link itself connected to a strap made of leather, synthetic fabric, plastic, metal, ceramic or composite.
- the strip 4 is preferably made of metal but could also be made of plastic, ceramic or even composite.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de l'horlogerie ou de la bijouterie. Elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet à un objet, notamment une boîte de montre.The present invention relates to the field of watchmaking or jewelry. It relates more specifically to a device for attaching a bracelet to an object, in particular a watch case.
Généralement, les bracelets, en cuir ou en métal, sont fixés aux cornes d'une boîte de montre, par l'intermédiaire d'une barrette formée d'un tube, dans lequel sont montés deux pistons mobiles en translation, et un organe élastique disposé entre lesdits pistons et tendant à les chasser vers l'extérieur du tube. Ladite barrette est montée dans un logement prévu à cet effet à une extrémité du bracelet, et les pistons sont engagés dans des alésages borgnes réalisés en vis-à-vis dans les cornes de la boîte.Generally, bracelets, made of leather or metal, are attached to the lugs of a watch case, by means of a bar formed of a tube, in which are mounted two pistons movable in translation, and an elastic member disposed between said pistons and tending to drive them out of the tube. Said bar is mounted in a housing provided for this purpose at one end of the bracelet, and the pistons are engaged in blind bores made facing each other in the lugs of the case.
Pour désolidariser un bracelet ainsi fixé à une boîte, il faut disposer d'un outil conçu pour repousser les pistons dans le tube, à l'encontre de la contrainte exercée par l'organe élastique, et les extraire ainsi des alésages. Le porteur de la montre n'est pas en permanence muni d'un tel outil, et de plus, son utilisation peut s'avérer incommode. C'est pourquoi les bracelets munis d'un tel dispositif de fixation sont généralement attachés de manière permanente à la boîte.To separate a bracelet thus fixed to a case, it is necessary to have a tool designed to push the pistons back into the tube, against the stress exerted by the elastic member, and thus extract them from the bores. The wearer of the watch is not permanently provided with such a tool, and moreover, its use may prove to be inconvenient. This is why wristbands provided with such a fixing device are generally permanently attached to the box.
Il existe par ailleurs des dispositifs de fixation permettant de désolidariser le bracelet de la boîte sans recourir à un outil. De tels dispositifs comportent habituellement une barrette, du type décrit précédemment, sur laquelle est monté, traversant le tube, un organe d'actionnement des pistons. Ledit organe d'actionnement est, par exemple, un doigt radial solidaire d'un des pistons, tel que décrit dans le brevet
Le brevet
Les dispositifs de fixations ainsi décrits sont généralement employés pour des bracelets interchangeables, qu'ils permettent de remplacer au gré du porteur. Ils ne sont toutefois pas exempts d'inconvénients. On notera, en particulier, qu'ils nécessitent des modifications structurelles majeures au niveau de la barrette, telles que, par exemple, la réalisation d'une ouverture au niveau du tube, ou la transformation des pistons. Ces changements entraînent des surcoûts de fabrication importants. Ces dispositifs de fixation comportent, par ailleurs, un élément proéminent, à savoir l'organe d'actionnement, qui peut s'accrocher ou blesser le porteur de la montre.The fixing devices thus described are generally used for interchangeable bracelets, which they allow to be replaced at the discretion of the wearer. However, they are not without drawbacks. It will be noted, in particular, that they require major structural modifications at the level of the bar, such as, for example, the making of an opening at the level of the tube, or the transformation of the pistons. These changes lead to significant additional manufacturing costs. These fastening devices also comprise a protruding element, namely the actuating member, which can catch on or injure the wearer of the watch.

Les
Comme on peut l'observer aux
Avantageusement, la boite de montre 1 comprend des moyens de maintien de la position de la barrette 4. Tels que représentés sur la
Selon l'invention, la barrette 4 est formée par un corps cylindrique creux 40 présentant au moins un logement 41, le logement 41 étant agencé pour coopérer par emboitement avec au moins un insert 21 réalisé dans un maillon de liaison 20 du brin de bracelet 2 ou d'un maillon. La barrette 4 comprend également des premier et un second pivot 43 agencés dans le corps creux 40, les deux pivots étant séparés par un ressort 15 maintenu en appui contre l'extrémités des deux pivots. Comme illustré sur la
Chacun des premier et second pivot 43 est apte à coulisser dans le corps creux 40. Le corps creux 40 est muni d'une rainure longitudinale 44 au centre de la barrette, la direction longitudinale étant prise comme la plus grande direction selon laquelle le corps creux 40 s'étend. La rainure longitudinale 44 forme une ouverture dans la surface du corps creux 40. Le corps creux 40 comporte en outre deux rainures additionnelles 45 s'étendant depuis les extrémités de la rainure longitudinale 44. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les
Chacun des pivots 43 comprend en outre un tenon 46 solidaire de ces derniers. Le tenon 46 s'étend depuis une surface extérieure du pivot, sensiblement perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale selon laquelle s'étendent les pivots. Chaque tenon 46, solidaire d'un pivot 43, s'étend à travers la rainure longitudinale 44 du corps creux de la barrette 4, et est apte à coulisser le long de cette rainure 44. Par ailleurs, comme illustré sur la
Avantageusement, le capot amovible 12 présente sur sa face interne au moins un usinage oblong 16 agencé pour coopérer avec un tenon 46, la longueur de l'usinage définissant la longueur de course du pivot.Advantageously, the
Telle que représentée sur les figures, la barrette 4 comprend deux logement 41, disposés de part et d'autre de la rainure longitudinale 44, et présentant une ouverture 410 sensiblement rectangulaire pour recevoir un insert 21 du brin de bracelet 2, la hauteur et la longueur de l'ouverture 410 correspondant à la hauteur et à la longueur des inserts 21 du brin de bracelet.As shown in the figures, the
Chacun des logements 41 est prévu traversant de manière que la pointe 420, 430 des pivots 43 puisse déboucher dans ces logements 41, les extrémités de la rainure longitudinale 44 formant des butées pour les tenons 20 des pivots 43. Avantageusement la distance entre la pointe 420, 430 de chaque pivot et chaque tenon 46 est prévue légèrement supérieure à la distance séparant le logement 21 de la rainure 44.Each of the
Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention illustré sur les figures, le brin de bracelet 2 comprend deux inserts 41 de façon à ce qu'il y ait un insert 21 de part et d'autre de la corne médiane 10, chacun des inserts 21 coopérant par emboîtement avec un logement 41.According to the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in the figures, the bracelet strand 2 comprises two

Avantageusement, la barrette 4 est agencée pour pivoter d'une première position A dans laquelle la ou les ouvertures 41 de la barrette 4 sont apte à recevoir le ou les inserts 21, vers une deuxième position B dans laquelle lesdits inserts sont verrouillé sur la barrette 4.Advantageously, the
Selon l'invention, la barrette 4 est pivotée de la position A vers la position B au moyen du brin de bracelet 2 une fois les inserts 21 en place dans les logements 41, les tenons 46 se retrouvant alors positionnés dans les rainures 45. De préférence, les rainures 45 s'étendent en divergeant légèrement de manière à former un angle légèrement supérieur à 90° avec la rainure longitudinale 44, par exemple un angle compris entre 91° et 95°. Un tel agencement permet de maintenir fermement les pivots 43 en position verrouillés (et donc le brin de bracelet) et d'éliminer le jeu présent entre les pivots et les inserts du brin de bracelet.According to the invention,
Tel qu'illustrée sur les figures, la barrette 4 comprend une collerette 50 solidaire de chacune des extrémités de la barrette 4, la barrette et les collerettes 50 formant alors un élément unique. Il peut aussi être envisagé d'assembler la collerette 50 à l'extrémité de la barrette 4 par l'intermédiaire d'une pointe d'insertion montée dans une partie creuse de la barrette 4. Un renflement interne est alors aménagé à l'extrémité de la barrette 4 pour coopérer avec la pointe d'insertion, afin de clipper la collerette 50 dans la barrette 4. D'autres modes de fixation des collerettes 50 peuvent être envisagés, comme par exemple par collage, soudage, ou encore par chassage. Ces dernières font office d'éléments de retenue axiaux pour la barrette 4 et l'insert 21.As illustrated in the figures, the
Ainsi, la barrette 4 peut être composée en trois parties, comme elle peut n'en former qu'une, avec les collerettes 50 pré-moulées aux extrémités de la tige 40, les logements 41, les cavités 42, 42', et les rainures 44 et 45 étant ensuite fraisés directement dans le corps 40. Par ailleurs, la section de la barrette 4 et des collerettes 50 ont été choisis de préférence cylindriques pour faciliter un degré de liberté en rotation autour de son axe A-A.Thus, the
De manière avantageuse, la corne médiane 10 fait office d'élément de retenue radial, complémentaire à la rainure 110 dont la forme et la profondeur sont complémentaires à celle du corps 40 de telle sorte que la barrette 4 ne puisse pas ressortir de la rainure 110 lors de sa mise en place. Sur les

Pour fixer le bracelet 2 au boîtier 1 comme illustré aux 3a à 3b, on introduit les inserts 21, correspondant par exemple à l'extrémité d'un brin ou d'un maillon de liaison 20, au niveau de la barrette 4 en présentant les inserts faces aux ouvertures 410 des logements 41 de la barrette 4. Dans sa première position A, la barrette 4 permet l'accès aux logements 41 et la mise en place des insert 21 par le bas, les ouvertures 410 étant orientées vers le fond de la boîte de montre 1. Un « clic » permet le positionnement du bracelet lorsque les inserts 21 sont engagés par les pivots 43, empêchant le bracelet de tomber, et facilitant le verrouillage en rotation sans exercer de pression sur celui-ci.To fix the bracelet 2 to the
Une fois le ou les inserts 21 en place sur la barrette 4, l'utilisateur fait pivoter la barrette autour de l'axe A-A par le biais du brin de bracelet vers la position B jusqu'à ce que la barrette effectue une rotation d'au moins 45° autour de l'axe A-A par rapport à sa position A, et plus préférentiellement de 90°, ainsi le brin de bracelet ne peut plus être délogé comme on peut l'observer à la

Pour le démontage du bracelet, il suffit d'effectuer les opérations inverses et d'exercer un léger effort sur le bracelet pour désengager les inserts 21 des pivots 43.To disassemble the bracelet, it suffices to carry out the reverse operations and to exert a slight force on the bracelet to disengage the
L'insert 20 épouse la forme de la corne médiane 10 de façon à limiter les jeux lors de l'assemblage et procurer un assemblage de bonne qualité.The
Dans le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, l'insert est disposé sur un maillon de liaison lui-même relié à bracelet constitué en cuir, en tissu synthétique, en plastique, en métal, en céramique ou encore en composite. De même la barrette 4 est de préférence en métal mais pourrait également être en plastique, céramique ou encore composite.In the embodiment described above, the insert is arranged on a connecting link itself connected to a strap made of leather, synthetic fabric, plastic, metal, ceramic or composite. Similarly, the
Grâce à ces différents aspects de l'invention, on dispose d'un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sûr permettant de changer de bracelet aisément et rapidement.By virtue of these various aspects of the invention, there is provided a device for fixing a secure strap enabling the strap to be changed easily and quickly.
