Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch strap comprising two strands made of leather surrounding a flexible frame, the ends of these strands being attached on the one hand to the watch case and articulated on the other hand to a folding clasp so as to form a closed loop in the open position of the clasp.
  • the folding clasp in two or three elements, is often called a wallet clasp or a folding clasp.
  • the leather strap is generally attached to the watch by means of a strap.
  • the invention aims to facilitate the opening and fitting of the watch strap around the wrist and to remove the elbow formed between the watch and the strap.
  • the wristwatch according to the invention is characterized in that the flexible frame consists of two elastic blades, one end of which is rigidly secured to the watch.
  • This flexible frame rigidly secured to the box simultaneously ensures the tensile strength of the bracelet, the maintenance in the open position of the loop formed by the watch strap when the clasp is open and a harmonious curvature of the leather without elbow at the start of the box.
  • the frame is preferably chosen to be very thin and very flexible so as to offer only a very slight resistance when the clasp is closed. Given this very small thickness, the blade does not, as one might believe, have the effect of increasing the thickness of the bracelet, but on the contrary its resistance allows the use of very thin leather so that the he final thickness of the bracelet is less than that of a conventional leather bracelet. It is therefore possible to make a resistant watch bracelet with a light and thin appearance.
  • the soul of the bracelet consists of two blades 1 and 2 in beryllium bronze with a thickness of 0.15 mm. At one of their ends, the blades are embedded and welded in a metal ring or ring 3, for example in brass, forming part of the watch case 3 '(fig. 3). The other end of the blades 1 and 2 is folded back on itself so as to form a fastener 4 of tubular shape for the articulated fixing of the bracelet on the clasp 5.
  • the elastic blades 1 and 2 are surrounded by the leather 6 of the bracelet .
  • the leather is glued to the blades.
  • the clasp 5 is of the folding clasp or double wallet type and has a central part 7 at the ends of which are articulated two arms 8 and 9 which are folded down and locked on the central part 7.
  • the straps of the bracelet to the clasp are hidden by a cover plate 10.
  • the bracelet in the open position tends to remain or return to the deployed position shown in Figure 1.
  • the blades 1 and 2 can have a more or less marked initial curvature, so that the elastic force is just sufficient to maintain the bracelet in the deployed position as shown in FIG. 1, without however exerting too strong a pull on the clasp, nor enduring too much stress strong at the level of the installation.
  • This natural deployment of the bracelet facilitates the positioning of the wristwatch on the wrist, as well as its removal.
  • the elastic core also ensures a support and a harmonious curvature of the leather strap.
  • the metal blades could be made of another metal, for example steel and they could be rigidly fixed in another way to the case, in particular to the middle part, for example by means of screws. Fasteners 4 could be added.
  • the flexible blades can also be made of a non-metallic material, for example synthetic material such as nylon (registered trademark).
  • a plastic blade has the advantage of being able to be produced by molding and of allowing better adhesion, by gluing, of the leather on the blade.
