Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge serving as an articulation for two elements of a bracelet and arranged to allow the attachment or detachment of the two said elements.
  • a bracelet To fit around the wrist, a bracelet must have a reduced opening so as not to slip on the hand. To detach it from the wrist, this bracelet can either be provided with a clasp which separates it into two parts, or equipped with a developable device allowing it to be enlarged so that it can pass freely over the hand.
  • German document DE-U-75 07 948 entitled "Folding closure for watch strap” describes a device having a first element forming a frame and a second element A n in the form of a plate, the second sliding in the first, and capable of '' be separated from each other if an elastic retaining tab is actuated.
  • this device has the disadvantage of taking up space in the thickness direction of the bracelet and also of being more complicated to manufacture.
  • the present invention proposes a new form of removable hinge for a bracelet executed according to the means which appear in the claims, a hinge which finds its use in particular in a watch bracelet.
  • FIGS 1a, 2a and 3a show a wristwatch with said wallet closure.
  • the two strands of the bracelet 2 composed between themselves of articulated links 3.
  • the other ends of the strands 2 are provided with a wallet closure system comprising at least two elements 5 and 6 in the form of plates elongated.
  • the hinged device 7 At one end of each of the plates is the hinged device 7 which is the subject of the present invention.
  • Figure 3a shows the bracelet in the closed position when worn on the wrist.
  • the two elements 5 and 6, which have a curved shape to match the contour of the wrist, are then folded over one another and the hinge 7 is hooked.
  • Figure 2a shows the bracelet in the open position.
  • the two elements 5 and 6 are developed relative to each other to give a larger extension to the bracelet and thus allow it to be passed over the hand. Again, the hinge 7 is hooked.
  • FIG. 1a shows the bracelet in a position such that the elements 5 and 6 are separated from each other by the hinge 7 being offset. To cause this offset, said elements must be brought into a predetermined angular position. , in this case in a position opposite to that which they occupied in FIG. 3a.
  • this device makes it possible to separate the bracelet into two parts for the reasons mentioned above. Despite this, this bracelet nevertheless retains the role of an ordinary wallet bracelet which aims to avoid its complete detachment and its possible fall when it is removed from the wrist because, as we have understood, it is necessary to bring the articulated elements in a very particular position to cause them to drop out and this particular position is not encountered when the bracelet is manipulated simply to put it on or take it off.
  • the element 6 of the bracelet carries two assemblies each composed of a pin 10 and a first cradle 11.
  • the cradle 11 is coaxial with the pin 10 and a space 12 is provided between the of them.
  • the cradle 11 has the shape of a hollow half-cylinder.
  • Each of the two assemblies thus formed is attached to the element 6 by a single central part 13.
  • the other element 5 of the bracelet carries two second cradles 14 which are attached to the element 5 each by a part 15.
  • the cradle 14 is shaped to be introduced into the space 12, that is to say that the cross section of the cradle 14 is substantially the same as the cross section of the space 12. In the situation presented in FIG.
  • Figure 1 c is a schematic section made through one of the hinges of Figure 1 b and makes even better understand how we fit the elements 5 and 6 into each other.
  • FIG. 2b like FIG. 2c which completes it, illustrates the case where the elongated wallet plates are developed end to end to give the bracelet its maximum extension.
  • Figures 3b and 3c illustrate the case where the bracelet is completely closed when the bracelet is attached to the wrist. It can be seen that the element 5 has been rotated by approximately 360 ° relative to the situation shown in FIG. 1 and is now placed under the element 6 on which it remains attached. In this case, however, and as shown more particularly
  • the hinge remains attached, not by the cradle 14 which is released from the space 12, but by the element 5 which is retained by the element 6.
  • the removable hinge does not take up more space than an ordinary non-removable hinge. Therefore, there is no extra thickness to be expected as is the case in other constructions.
  • the proposed hinge is very simple to use and does not require any spring-loaded control parts. Finally, it can be implemented in already existing portfolio systems since it will then suffice to modify only the hinge.
  • the invention is not limited to an articulation between two elements comprising the first two assemblies each composed of a spindle and a first cradle and the second two second cradles as has been shown in the drawing. It will be understood that a simplified execution could only comprise a single assembly formed by a pin 10 and a first cradle 11 attached to the element 6 and only one second cradle 14 attached to the element 5.
  • the invention can be applied to simple jewelry bracelets or even to a leather bracelet. It finds a particularly welcome application when a watch is attached to this bracelet.
