Abstract

The bracelet comprises elements (1A-1C, 2A-2C), preferably rectangular or square which are arranged in a plurality of rows (A, B, C,...). Each element (1A,..., 2B,...) is comprised of an upper element (4) which has pillars (7) as well as a central abutment (8), as well as of a bottom plate (5) connected to the free end of the pillars (7). Meshes (9) act as link members; each mesh (9) has an opening (10) to which it may bind two adjacent pillars of two neighbouring upper elements (4). The opening (10) is so dimensioned with respect to pillars (7) and the distance thereof are such that a play is provided between the mesh and the two elements in all directions, thereby providing an ample flexibility to the bracelet.

Description

L'invention a pour objet un bracelet pour horlogerie ou bijouterie, comportant plusieurs rangées longitudinales parallèles, chaque rangée étant composée d'éléments qui, au sens longitudinal du bracelet, sont reliés entre eux d'une manière flexible par des mailles, les éléments de deux rangées voisines étant reliés entre eux en sens transversal par d'autres mailles, chaque élément étant constitué d'un élément supérieur formé par un dessus équipé de piliers ainsi que d'une plaque de fond reliée aux extrémités libres des piliers.The subject of the invention is a bracelet for watches or jewelry, comprising several parallel longitudinal rows, each row being composed of elements which, in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet, are interconnected in a flexible manner by meshes, the elements of two adjacent rows being interconnected in transverse direction by other meshes, each element consisting of an upper element formed by a top equipped with pillars as well as a bottom plate connected to the free ends of the pillars.

Un tel bracelet est déjà connu du document DE-A-1 460 162, dans lequel des maillons pour l'assemblage des objets décoratifs, notamment des bandes ou chaînes utilisées en bijouterie, sont illustrés. Chaque maillon est relié d'une manière flexible à un maillon voisin par un organe de liaison ou maille, ces liaisons étant possible tant à la direction transversale que longitudinale. Chaque maillon est constitué d'un élément supérieur comportant des piliers s'étendant vers une plaque de fond qui est reliée aux extrémités libres d'eux. Pour effectuer cette liaison, la plaque de fond est munie des embouchures correspondantes dans lesquelles s'emboîtent ces extrémités. Par conséquent, la plaque de fond présente nécessairement une certaine épaisseur qui ne peut plus être diminuée, et pour raisons de symétrie les éléments supérieurs possèdent la même épaisseur, ce qui rend le maillon lourd, donc de moindre élégance pour le but prévu. Les mailles reliant ces maillons ou éléments sont des plaques minces, portant des ouvertures qui correspondent au diamètre des piliers. Du fait que l'élément supérieur et la plaque de fond, de par leur épaisseur, doivent être assemblés très proches l'un à l'autre, et en vue du diamètre des ouvertures adapté aux piliers, il n'y a pratiquement pas de jeu entre les maillons, surtout pas dans la direction perpendiculaire au plan desdits maillons. Toutefois, un tel jeu est indispensable si on désire les utiliser pour un bracelet dans lequel, en le portant au bras, chaque maillon d'une rangée se trouve dans un plan différent de ceux des éléments adjacents.Such a bracelet is already known from document DE-A-1 460 162, in which links for assembling decorative objects, in particular bands or chains used in jewelry, are illustrated. Each link is flexibly connected to a neighboring link by a connecting member or mesh, these connections being possible both in the transverse and longitudinal direction. Each link consists of an upper element comprising pillars extending towards a bottom plate which is connected to the free ends of them. To make this connection, the bottom plate is provided with the corresponding mouths in which these ends fit. Consequently, the bottom plate necessarily has a certain thickness which can no longer be reduced, and for reasons of symmetry the upper elements have the same thickness, which makes the link heavy, therefore less elegant for the intended purpose. The meshes connecting these links or elements are thin plates, carrying openings which correspond to the diameter of the pillars. Because the upper element and the bottom plate, due to their thickness, must be assembled very close to each other, and in view of the diameter of the openings adapted to the pillars, there is practically no play between the links, especially not in the direction perpendicular to the plane of said links. However, such play is essential if one wishes to use them for a bracelet in which, by wearing it on the arm, each link in a row is in a plane different from that of the adjacent elements.

Pour assurer ce jeu, on a déjà prévu de relier les éléments par des axes ou barres transversales, mais ces barres ne permettent une position angulaire des éléments voisins que dans la même rangée et pas entre des rangées adjacentes ; d'ailleurs une telle mesure nécessite un décalage des éléments d'une rangée par rapport à ceux des rangées adjacentes.To ensure this play, provision has already been made to connect the elements by axes or transverse bars, but these bars allow an angular position of the neighboring elements only in the same row and not between adjacent rows; moreover, such a measurement requires a shift of the elements of a row relative to those of the adjacent rows.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et de créer un bracelet dans lequel la flexibilité des éléments adjacents ou souplesse est assuré non seulement dans la direction longitudinale mais aussi transversale, tout en tenant l'épaisseur de chaque élément à un minimum.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and to create a bracelet in which the flexibility of the adjacent elements or flexibility is ensured not only in the longitudinal but also transverse direction, while keeping the thickness of each element to a minimum.

Un autre but de l'invention est de simplifier la fabrication du bracelet en prévoyant des éléments constitutifs qui sont composés d'un minimum de parties.Another object of the invention is to simplify the manufacture of the bracelet by providing constituent elements which are composed of a minimum of parts.

Ces buts sont atteints par le bracelet selon l'invention qui est défini dans la revendication 1.These objects are achieved by the bracelet according to the invention which is defined in claim 1.

Une forme d'exécution préférée du bracelet selon l'invention est illustrée dans le dessin annexé dans lequel illustrent

  • Fig. 1 une vue partielle d'un brin du bracelet,
  • Fig. 2 une section d'un élément supérieur selon la ligne Il - Il de la fig. 3,
  • Fig. 3 une vue de cet élément de dessus,
  • Fig. 4 une maille de liaison entre les éléments,
  • Fig. 5 la plaque du fond d'un élément, et
  • Fig. 6 une vue latérale de deux éléments de la rangée intérieure du brin.
A preferred embodiment of the bracelet according to the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which illustrate
  • Fig. 1 a partial view of a strand of the bracelet,
  • Fig. 2 a section of an upper element along the line Il - Il of FIG. 3,
  • Fig. 3 a view of this element from above,
  • Fig. 4 a link mesh between the elements,
  • Fig. 5 the bottom plate of an element, and
  • Fig. 6 a side view of two elements of the inner row of the strand.

Selon la fig. 1, le bracelet qui est attaché par ses brins à une montre 1 d'une manière connue (et, par conséquent illustrée seulement d'une façon schématique) est composé de plusieurs rangées A, B, C, etc., dans l'exemple trois rangées, chaque rangée composée des éléments 1, 2. 3, etc. Lesdits éléments 1, 2, 3, etc. sont dans cette forme d'exécution, rectangulaires et disposés de telle manière que leurs bords plus longs se trouvent côte à côte. Cet arrangement diffère de l'art connu dans lequel les éléments d'une rangée, par exemple de la rangée B, se trouvent, dans la direction longitudinale, décalés par rapport aux éléments des rangées adjacentes A et C, afin de permettre les extrémités avants des éléments de ces rangées et les extrémités arrières des éléments de la rangée B d'être reliées par une barre ou un axe transversal rigide autour duquel tous les éléments qui y sont reliés peuvent pivoter, pour assurer la souplesse nécessaire du bracelet ; des barres ou axes identiques sont prévus aussi pour les extrémités arrières des éléments dans les rangées A, C et les extrémités avants des éléments de la rangée B.According to fig. 1, the bracelet which is attached by its strands to a watch 1 in a known manner (and, therefore, illustrated only in a schematic manner) is composed of several rows A, B, C, etc., in the example three rows, each row composed of elements 1, 2. 3, etc. Said elements 1, 2, 3, etc. are in this embodiment, rectangular and arranged in such a way that their longer edges lie side by side. This arrangement differs from the known art in which the elements of a row, for example of row B, are found, in the longitudinal direction, offset with respect to the elements of adjacent rows A and C, in order to allow the front ends elements of these rows and the rear ends of the elements of row B to be connected by a bar or a rigid transverse axis around which all the elements which are connected to it can pivot, to ensure the necessary flexibility of the bracelet; identical bars or axes are also provided for the rear ends of the elements in rows A, C and the front ends of the elements in row B.

Comme on le voit des figs. 2, 3 et 5, chaque élément 1, 2, 3 des rangées longitudinales A, B, C etc. ne se compose que de deux parties, à savoir d'un élément supérieur 4 et d'une plaque du fond 5, ce qui rend ces éléments très simples et faciles à produire. L'élément supérieur 4 qui forme la face visible du bracelet (quand on le porte) comprend un dessus 6, un nombre de piliers 7, ici quatre, qui sont attachés perpendiculairement à la face inférieure du dessus 5, et une butée centrale 8. Les piliers 7 se trouvent, dans cette forme d'exécution, au milieu de chaque bord du dessus 6 et sont d'une hauteur H. Ils peuvent avoir une section généralement carrée, avec un bord arrondi (par des raisons de manufacture) comme illustré, ou bien toute autre section appropriée. La butée centrale 8, qui de préférence a la même section ou une section similaire à celle des piliers 7, est d'une hauteur h qui est réduite, en comparaison avec la hauteur H des piliers. La différence de ces hauteurs correspond de préférence à l'épaisseur d (voir fig. 6) de la plaque du fond 5.As seen in figs. 2, 3 and 5, each element 1, 2, 3 of the longitudinal rows A, B, C etc. consists only of two parts, namely an upper element 4 and a bottom plate 5, which makes these elements very simple and easy to produce. The upper element 4 which forms the visible face of the bracelet (when worn) includes a top 6, a number of pillars 7, here four, which are attached perpendicularly to the underside of the top 5, and a central stop 8. The pillars 7 are, in this embodiment, in the middle of each edge of the top 6 and are of a height H. They can have a generally square section, with a rounded edge (for manufacturing reasons) as illustrated , or any other appropriate section. The central stop 8, which preferably has the same section or a section similar to that of the pillars 7, is of a height h which is reduced, in comparison with the height H of the pillars. The difference in these heights preferably corresponds to the thickness d (see fig. 6) of the bottom plate 5.

Les piliers 7 sont destinés à recevoir des mailles 9 servant comme organes de liaison entre les éléments 1, 2, 3 etc., tant en sens longitudinal du bracelet, qu'en sens transversal. Ces mailles ont une forme sensiblement annulaire, de préférence ce sont des plaques dans lesquelles est pratiquée une ouverture 10. Cette ouverture 10 est d'une longueur suffisante afin de loger ensemble deux piliers 7 adjacents de deux éléments voisins avec un jeu longitudinal. La largeur de l'ouverture 10 surpasse la largeur des piliers de façon qu'il y ait aussi un jeu latéral par rapport à l'élément respectif, ce qui permet un décalage latéral limité parmi lesdits éléments voisins.The pillars 7 are intended to receive meshes 9 serving as connecting members between the elements 1, 2, 3 etc., both in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet, and in the transverse direction. These meshes have a substantially annular shape, preferably they are plates in which an opening 10 is made. This opening 10 is of sufficient length to accommodate together two adjacent pillars 7 of two neighboring elements with longitudinal play. The width of the opening 10 exceeds the width of the pillars so that there is also lateral play with respect to the respective element, which allows a limited lateral offset among said neighboring elements.

Afin d'éviter que les mailles 9 sortent des piliers 7, la plaque du fond 5 est munie des encoches 11 qui ont de telles dimensions et sont disposées de telle manière le long de ses bords que la plaque du fond 5 peut s'emboîter dans les extrémités libres 12 des piliers 7 auxquelles elle est reliée, notamment par soudure.In order to prevent the meshes 9 from coming out of the pillars 7, the bottom plate 5 is provided with notches 11 which have such dimensions and are arranged in such a way along its edges that the bottom plate 5 can fit into the free ends 12 of the pillars 7 to which it is connected, in particular by welding.

Le jeu longitudinal entre chaque maille 9 et les deux piliers-7 entourés par elle assure au bracelet la souplesse nécessaire dans le sens longitudinal. Cette souplesse est, en outre, assistée par le fait que les plaques du fond 5 ont des dimensions, au moins dans le sens longitudinal du bracelet, un peu inférieures à celles des dessus 6 des éléments supérieurs 4. Le jeu latéral augmente la souplesse générale du bracelet. Toutefois, ces deux jeux ne suffisent pas encore. La souplesse dépend aussi du fait que les mailles peuvent prendre une position inclinée envers au moins un des éléments adjacents, comme on peut le voir à la figure 6, et il est par conséquent essentiel que la butée 8 a une certaine hauteur afin de maintenir le dessus 6 et la plaque du fond 5 suffisamment séparés l'un de l'autre. La butée 8 sert donc comme élément de distance.The longitudinal play between each link 9 and the two pillars-7 surrounded by it provides the bracelet with the necessary flexibility in the longitudinal direction. This flexibility is further assisted by the fact that the bottom plates 5 have dimensions, at least in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet, slightly less than those of the top 6 of the upper elements 4. The lateral play increases the general flexibility of the bracelet. However, these two games are not enough yet. The flexibility also depends on the fact that the meshes can take an inclined position towards at least one of the adjacent elements, as can be seen in FIG. 6, and it is therefore essential that the stop 8 has a certain height in order to maintain the top 6 and the bottom plate 5 sufficiently separated from each other. The stop 8 therefore serves as a distance element.

Comme déjà mentionné et comme illustré dans la fig. 1, les mailles 9 servent non seulement à lier les éléments constitués d'une rangée longitudinale A, B, C, mais aussi à lier les éléments voisins de deux rangées adjacentes, et de cette façon on obtient aussi des rangées transversales. Pour les deux rangées extérieures du brin, dans l'exemple les rangées A et C, on pourrait prévoir seulement trois piliers 7 et trois encoches 9 dans les plaques du fond 5 de chaque élément, car il n'y a pas des mailles 9 le long des bords du bracelet. Toutefois, par des raisons de simplicité de manufacture, il est avantageux de ne produire qu'une sorte d'éléments 4, donc à quatre piliers et encoches, comme illustré.As already mentioned and as illustrated in fig. 1, the meshes 9 are used not only to link the elements consisting of a longitudinal row A, B, C, but also to link the neighboring elements of two adjacent rows, and in this way we also obtain transverse rows. For the two outer rows of the strand, in the example rows A and C, one could provide only three pillars 7 and three notches 9 in the bottom plates 5 of each element, because there are no meshes 9 the along the edges of the bracelet. However, for reasons of simplicity of manufacture, it is advantageous to produce only one kind of elements 4, therefore with four pillars and notches, as illustrated.

Les éléments peuvent avoir une forme quelconque, outre la forme rectangulaire ou carrée déjà mentionnée, la forme adoptée dépendant du point de vue esthétique. On pourrait donc prévoir des éléments ronds, elliptiques, losanges, trapézoïdaux ou généralement polygonaux, ou des éléments carrés pourraient être prévus mais placés à 45 degrés de la position illustrée dans le dessin pour les éléments rectangulaires ; les piliers doivent alors être disposés aux coins du carré. On pourrait même prévoir, si le prix du bracelet ne joue pas un rôle, des formes et grandeurs tout à fait irrégulières. Un tel bracelet ressemblerait à un bracelet de cuir, notamment de cuir de crocodile. Toutefois, les éléments 4 rectangulaires ou carrés dans leur position illustrée ont l'avantage qu'ils cachent les organes de liaison ou mailles 9 de la meilleure manière, même s'ils n'ont pas la même épaisseur.The elements can have any shape, in addition to the rectangular or square shape already mentioned, the shape adopted depending on the aesthetic point of view. One could therefore provide round, elliptical, diamond, trapezoidal or generally polygonal elements, or square elements could be provided but placed at 45 degrees from the position illustrated in the drawing for the rectangular elements; the pillars must then be placed at the corners of the square. One could even foresee, if the price of the bracelet does not play a role, completely irregular shapes and sizes. Such a bracelet would look like a leather bracelet, in particular crocodile leather. However, the rectangular or square elements 4 in their illustrated position have the advantage that they hide the connecting members or meshes 9 in the best way, even if they do not have the same thickness.
