Abstract

A clasp for a bracelet or similar device including first and second arms hinged for pivotal movement between open and closed positions, wherein a buckle carried by the first arm adjustably receives the end of a first strap therethrough, the free end of the first strap being inserted through an opening provided in the first arm and concealed under a second strap connected to the second arm when the arms are disposed in the closed position.

Description

L'un des problèmes les plus fréquents en matière de bijouterie est celui de procurer des fermoirs élégants, pratiques et solides, notamment pour des bracelets. Les qualités requises sont difficilement conciliables.One of the most common problems in jewelry is to provide elegant, practical and solid clasps, especially for bracelets. The qualities required are difficult to reconcile.

L'un des matériaux les plus couramment utilisés dans la confection des bracelets, parce que l'un des plus élégants, est le cuir. Le moyen le plus courant d'assurer la fermeture du bracelet en même temps que le réglage de sa longueur consiste à munir l'un des brins d'une boucle, avec ou sans ardillon, à la manière d'une ceinture. Un tel dispositif présente l'inconvénient d'exiger plusieurs mouvements pour la fermeture. En outre, le bout du brin qui dépasse de la boucle doit en général être fixé par une bride, et l'aspect de ce bout qui dépasse est peu esthétique. L'avantage de ce dispositif est de permettre un réglage de longueur assez aisé, quoiqu'il doive être fait chaque fois que le bracelet est mis.One of the most commonly used materials in making bracelets, because one of the most elegant, is leather. The most common way to ensure the closure of the bracelet at the same time as adjusting its length is to provide one of the strands with a buckle, with or without barbs, like a belt. Such a device has the disadvantage of requiring several movements for closing. In addition, the end of the strand which protrudes from the loop must generally be fixed by a flange, and the appearance of this protruding end is unattractive. The advantage of this device is that it allows fairly easy length adjustment, although it must be done each time the bracelet is put on.

Afin de faciliter la fermeture et d'éviter la présence d'un bout de brin qui dépasse, on a proposé, par exemple, des fermoirs formés de deux bras, une extrémité de chaque bras étant fixée de manière pivotante à une extrémité d'un brin, chaque bras étant articulé à l'autre extrémité à un bout d'un troisième bras. Le troisième bras ayant une longueur double de celle des deux autres bras, ceux-ci se rabattent, en pivotant sur les gonds, sur le troisième bras contre lequel ils s'appliquent et se fixent; les extrémités des deux brins se rejoignent ainsi au milieu du troisième bras; les brins dissimulent les trois bras, qui sont repliés. L'inconvénient d'un tel dispositif réside dans le fait que la longueur des brins est réglée définitivement et qu'il n'est possible de raccourcir le bracelet qu'en coupant les brins, et de le rallonger qu'en les remplaçant.In order to facilitate closing and to avoid the presence of a protruding end of the strand, clasps formed of two arms have been proposed, for example, one end of each arm being pivotally attached to one end of a strand, each arm being articulated at the other end to an end of a third arm. The third arm having a length double that of the other two arms, these fold back, by pivoting on the hinges, on the third arm against which they are applied and fixed; the ends of the two strands thus meet in the middle of the third arm; the strands conceal the three arms, which are folded. The drawback of such a device lies in the fact that the length of the strands is definitively adjusted and that it is only possible to shorten the bracelet by cutting the strands, and to lengthen it only by replacing them.

La présente invention vise à fournir un fermoir qui permette le réglage de la longueur de manière simple et sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'y procéder chaque fois que le porteur met le bracelet; l'invention vise en outre à éviter que soit visible le bout de brin qui dépasse, comme c'est le cas dans les fermoirs à boucle habituels.The present invention aims to provide a clasp which allows the adjustment of the length in a simple manner and without the need for it. proceed each time the wearer puts on the bracelet; the invention further aims to prevent the tip of the strand which projects beyond being visible, as is the case in conventional buckle clasps.

Les dessins représentent, à titre d'exempte, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.

  • La figure est une vue en perspective cavalière d'un fermoir selon l'invention, en position ouverte, dans laquelle un seul brin du bracelet est partiellement représenté.
  • La figure 2 est une coupe longitudinale d'un même fermoir, en position fermée, dans laquelle les deux brins du bracelet sont partiellement représentés.
The drawings represent, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.
  • The figure is a perspective view of a clasp according to the invention, in the open position, in which a single strand of the bracelet is partially shown.
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same clasp, in the closed position, in which the two strands of the bracelet are partially shown.

Le fermoir est représenté dans la forme d'exécution des revendications 2 à 4.The clasp is shown in the embodiment of claims 2 to 4.

Le fermoir comprend une boucle l, et deux bras 2 et 3. Les deux bras sont reliés entre eux par un gond 4. La boucle est fixée de manière à pouvoir pivoter sur une traverse 9 qui est solidaire du premier bras 2. Le second bras 3 présente en son centre une échancrure longitudinale 8, dont la forme correspond à celle du premier bras 2. En position fermée, le premier bras 2 vient se loger entièrement dans cette échancrure, de façon que l'épaisseur des deux bras fermés soit minimale.The clasp comprises a loop l, and two arms 2 and 3. The two arms are connected together by a hinge 4. The loop is fixed so as to be able to pivot on a cross member 9 which is integral with the first arm 2. The second arm 3 has at its center a longitudinal notch 8, the shape of which corresponds to that of the first arm 2. In the closed position, the first arm 2 is housed entirely in this notch, so that the thickness of the two closed arms is minimal.

Un premier brin est fixé dans la boucle; son bout 5 dépasse de la boucle, en direction du second brin. A son extrémité, le second bras 3 présente une ouverture 6. Le bout 5 du premier brin attaché à la boucle est introduit dans l'ouverture 6. En position fermée, la boucle recouvre l'ouverture 6 et vient se placer contre la fixation du second brin.A first strand is fixed in the loop; its end 5 protrudes from the loop, in the direction of the second strand. At its end, the second arm 3 has an opening 6. The end 5 of the first strand attached to the loop is introduced into the opening 6. In the closed position, the loop covers the opening 6 and is placed against the fixing of the second strand.

De la sorte, le bout 5 est entièrement dissimulé.In this way, the tip 5 is entirely concealed.

Le fermoir est aisé à manier : le bracelet peut être fermé d'un seul mouvement.The clasp is easy to use: the bracelet can be closed with a single movement.

La longueur peut être réglée aisément, et il n'est pas nécessaire de procéder à ce réglage chaque fois que le bracelet est mis au poignet.The length can be adjusted easily, and it is not necessary to adjust this each time the bracelet is put on the wrist.

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée ici, la boucle n'a pas d'ardillon. Cela donne au bracelet fermé une plus grande pureté de ligne. Rien n'empêche toutefois d'utiliser un ardillon.In the embodiment shown here, the loop has no tongue. This gives the closed bracelet greater purity of line. However, nothing prevents the use of a barb.

D'autre part, le second brin est fixé par une barrette, qu'il entoure, de sorte qu'il est en contact avec la boucle en position fermée. Il serait cependant possible d'utiliser d'autres moyens de fixation, dans lesquels par exemple le brin serait emprisonné et n'entrerait par conséquent pas en contact avec la boucle.On the other hand, the second strand is fixed by a bar, which it surrounds, so that it is in contact with the loop in the closed position. However, it would be possible to use other fixing means, in which for example the strand would be trapped and therefore would not come into contact with the loop.

Enfin, dans la forme d'exécution représentée ici, le fermoir a deux bras. Il serait toutefois possible d'employer, par exemple, trois bras.Finally, in the embodiment shown here, the clasp has two arms. However, it would be possible to use, for example, three arms.
