Other characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the explanation of being done with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-Fig. 1,2 and 3 illustrates first embodiment according to a kind of watchband of the present invention with top view, side view and exploded view respectively; And
-Fig. 4 is the top view of one second embodiment of above-mentioned watchband.
In first embodiment shown in Fig. 1,2 and 3, comprise row's central links 10 and two row's lateral links 11 according to watchband of the present invention, described two row's lateral links 11 interconnect with above-mentioned central links 10 in hinged way.
Central links 10 all has a kind of rectangular plate shape of oval cross section.Usually, they have along the longitudinal axis AA of watchband that a size is approximately 10mm, size is approximately 14mm and thickness is approximately 4mm on Width.
Chain 10 is formed by a core 12, and described core 12 is preferably made with carbon fiber, for example Toron type carbon fibre fabric covering of one deck carbon fibre fabric 13 of this carbon fiber.Their oblong surface parallel with axis AA 14 advantageously are connected on the metal rim 15 by bonding (bonding) respectively, and described metal rim 15 for example is made of steel.The shape of these flanges is identical with the shape on surface 14, and their thickness is approximately 0.7mm.These parts mainly are to be used for lateral links 11 and central links 10 are separated, so that protection central links 10.In addition, they help to improve the aesthetic appearance of watchband.
Three passages 16,17 and 18 pass each central links 10, these passages 16,17 are parallel with its axis of pitch DD in the BB of the plane of the mid-plane CC that is parallel to chain 10 with 18, but a little towards the skew of inside surface (that is the surface that contacts with the wrist) direction of chain 10. Passage 16 and 18 is respectively near the chain leading edge 19 and back edge 20 parallel with its axis DD, and center-aisle 17 is offset on this side of passage 18.
Obviously, the leading edge of a chain is that edge that is positioned at the most close watchband upstream side, that is is fixed to the end of the chain on the wrist-watch.On the contrary, the back edge of a chain is that edge that is positioned at the most close watchband downstream, that is apart from that end of wrist-watch chain farthest.
Usually, for the chain of a 10.2mm, passage 16 is to be the 2.5mm place at distance leading edge 19, and passage 17 is to be to be the 2.20mm place at distance passage 17 at distance passage 16 for 3.95mm place and passage 18.
Owing to the following reason that will occur, passage 17 all has a constant diameter on it runs through the whole passage of chain 10, this typically has a diameter from 1.25mm, and passing core 12 places at them, passage 16 and 18 has a big slightly diameter, the described 1.30mm that typically has a diameter from, but pass the place of flange 15 at them, this diameter reduces, and is reduced to 1.25mm usually.
The radial type of two adjacent central links 10 connects, and is guaranteed around an axis E E by a pair of lateral links 11, and above-mentioned axis E E is corresponding to the axis of passage 16, and above-mentioned a pair of lateral links 11 is faced with respect to axis AA with being mutually symmetrical.
Lateral links 11 is used metal, for example makes with steel, and all has a kind of plate shape of oval cross section, and described plate has slight concavity towards the wrist direction.Along the longitudinal axis AA of watchband, lateral links 11 has basically the size identical with central links 10, but on Width and thickness direction, they have less size, that is normally, width is that 5.1mm and thickness are 3.7mm.
Each lateral links 11 all has 3 blind holes 21,22 and 23 in its mid-plane FF, described blind hole 21,22 and 23 is parallel to the axis of pitch GG of lateral links 11 and is parallel to the axis of pitch DD of central links 10.Arrange by following mode in these holes.
Gap between the passage 17 and 18 of the gap between-the hole 21 and 22 and chain 10 is identical; And
The gap that is provided between the passage 18 of the gap the between- hole 22 and 23 and a chain 10 and the passage 16 of its adjacent chain is identical.
Described 3 holes 21,22 all have identical diameter with 23.This diameter is less than the minimum diameter in chain 10 each passage, and is measured as 1.15mm usually.
Chain according to watchband of the present invention assembles with following manner:
-passage 16 of a central links 10 to be aimed at the hole 23 of a pair of lateral links 11, the hole 21 and 22 of above-mentioned a pair of lateral links 11 is aimed at the passage 17 and 18 of adjacent center, upstream chain 10 respectively; With
The hole 17 and 18 of-same central links 10 is aimed at the hole 21 and 22 of a pair of lateral links 11 respectively, and the hole 23 of described a pair of lateral links 11 is aimed at the passage 16 of adjacent downstream central links 10.
The radial type connection of chain is guaranteed that by lug 24 described lug 24 inserts in the passage 16,17 and 18 of chains 10, and is pressed in the hole 21,22 and 23 of chain 11.The diameter of these lugs is slightly smaller than the diameter of passage 16,17 and 18, that is is generally 1.20mm.
Although because the minor diameter of lug 24, they can freely rotate in passage 16,17 and 18, but should note, passage 17 and 18 lug are installed in same central links 10 neutralizations and are pressed in the same hole 21 and 22 to lateral links 11, and these lugs prevent any relative motion between each chain.Therefore, unique possible motion is the motion of lug 24 in passage 16, like this articulated pin between each chain of the 24 formation watchbands of the lug in the passage 16.
What should also be noted that the end passage 16 that offers central links 10 and 18 can compensate virtually any size and alignment tolerance between core 12 and the flange 15 than major diameter.
Should be noted that the relativity shift between the plane that is connected in thickness difference between central links 10 and the lateral links 11 and their passage and the hole wherein in addition, make the interior side direction of lateral links 11, that is descend towards the human arm direction that wears a wrist watch towards watchband.Because each chain 10 rotates with respect to each chain 11 pivot by being pressed on the arm, therefore when wearing and tearing, watchband do not hinder this motion fully, and described this motion helps to make the people who wears a wrist watch comfortable.
In second embodiment shown in Figure 4, represent with same label with Fig. 1-3 common means herein, be according to watchband of the present invention and above-mentioned watchband difference, watchband of the present invention comprises two row's central links 25, described two row's central links 25 are separated by the 3rd row's lateral links 26, and the 3rd row's lateral links 26 is placed on the longitudinal axis AA of watchband.
Along the axis of pitch DD of central links 25, described central links 25 has one than the little diameter of chain 10 sizes, but aspect other, central links 25 is identical with chain 10.
The 3rd row's lateral links 26 is identical with chain 11, and lateral links 26 and 11 per 3 one group of collaborative works of chain connect so that guarantee the radial type of two row's central links 25.
No matter adopt which embodiment, the carbon fibre fabric that covers central links with the application of one deck glassy surface all is favourable.This layer glassy surface protection fabric also increases the attractive in appearance of watchband.
This explanation is carried out with reference to the chain with constant width, and general, and the watchband broad that becomes in the upstream is so that the assembling watchcase.Self-evident, in order to realize this assembling, must be the width that little by little increases lateral links.
Therefore, obtained a kind of radial type watchband, articulated watchband has the carbochain bar, and these carbochain bars mate a carbon dial plate aesthetically, and does not stop to exist the deficiency of metal bracelet.
