Abstract

1. Bracelet, in particular decorative or watch bracelet or the like, comprising two or more adjacent parts, possibly in the form of a link-type bracelet, which can be connected to each other or to connecting parts by means of elements forming a link joint, characterized in that the elements forming the link joint are housed in a casing enclosing said elements mainly on all sides.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Armband, das insbesondere als Schmuck- oder Uhrarmband verwendbar ist und aus zwei oder mehr, gegebenenfalls in Form eines Gliederbandes aneinandergereihten Teilen gebildet ist, die durch eine Gelenkverbindung bildende Elemente gelenkig miteinander oder mit Anschlußteilen, wie einem Uhrengehäuse, verbindbar sind.The invention relates to a bracelet, which can be used in particular as a jewelry or watch strap and is formed from two or more parts, optionally in the form of a link strap, which are connected to one another by means of an articulated connection elements or to connecting parts such as a watch case.

Es sind mannigfache Gelenkverbindungen bei Uhrarmbändem bekannt, die sowohl zur Verbindung der einzelnen Glieder bei Gliederbändem als auch zum Anschluß der Bandenden an einem Uhrengehäuse geeignet sind. Hierzu gehören auch solche Gelenkverbindungen, die für Armbänder bestimmt sind, bei denen man ein möglichst geschlossenes Aussehen des Bandes erzielen will und bei denen verhindert werden soll, daß sich die Spalte zwischen den Gliedem bei deren Bewegung zueinander öffnen und die Elemente der Gelenkverbindung sichtbar werden. Hierzu können Abdeckleisten an dem einen der aneinanderstossenden Glieder dienen, die in zugehörige Ausnehmungen an der angrenzenden Kante des benachbarten Gliedes eingreifen und bei einer Verschwenkung der Glieder zueinander den Spalt zwischen beiden überbrücken.There are various articulated connections known for watch straps which are suitable both for connecting the individual links in link straps and for connecting the strap ends to a watch case. This also includes those articulated connections which are intended for bracelets in which one wants to achieve the most closed appearance of the band and in which the gaps between the links are to be prevented from opening as they move towards one another and the elements of the articulated connection become visible. For this purpose, cover strips on one of the abutting links can be used, which engage in corresponding recesses on the adjacent edge of the adjacent link and bridge the gap between the two when the links are pivoted relative to one another.

Derartige Gelenkverbindungen mit Spattabdeckung lassen ein geschlossenes Aussehen des Bandes erzielen und verdecken die Elemente der Gelenkverbindung; sie sind jedoch nicht in allen Fällen mit Erfolg anwendbar, beispielsweise wenn eine starke Verschwenkbarkeit der Glieder zueinander und insbesondere an der Anlenkungsstelle am Gehäuse erzielt werden muß.Such articulated connections with a spat cover can achieve a closed appearance of the band and hide the elements of the articulated connection; however, they cannot be used successfully in all cases, for example when the links can be pivoted strongly relative to one another and in particular at the articulation point on the housing.

Die Erfindung bezweckt daher die Schaffung eines Armbandes, insbesondere eines Schmuck- oder Uhrarmbandes der eingangs genannten Art, das nicht nur eine Abdeckung der Elemente der Gelenkverbindung zwischen den einzelnen Armbandteilen gewährleistet sondern darüber hinaus beispielsweise einen Verschwenkwinkel der Teile zueinander erzielen läßt, wie er mit einfachen Abdeckleisten nicht erzielbar ist.The invention therefore aims to provide a bracelet, in particular a jewelry or watch strap of the type mentioned, which not only ensures coverage of the elements of the articulation between the individual bracelet parts but also, for example, can achieve a pivoting angle of the parts to each other, as can be done with simple Cover strips cannot be achieved.

Die Erfindung sieht zu diesem Zweck bei einem Armband der eingangs genannten Art, das insbesondere als Schmuck- oder Uhrarmband verwendbar und aus zwei oder mehr, gegebenenfalls in Form eines Gliederbandes aneinandergereihten Teilen gebildet ist, die durch eine Gelenkverbindung bildende Elemente gelenkig miteinander oder mit Anschlußteilen am Uhrengehäuse verbindbar sind, vor, daß die die Gelenkverbindung bildenden Elemente von einem diese Elemente im wesentlichen allseitig einschließenden Gehäuse umgeben sind. Ein solches Gehäuse kann als Rotationskörper ausgebildet sein, der Hohlräume besitzt, die die Elemente der Gelenkverbindung aufnehmen. Das als Rotationskörper ausgebildete Gehäuse kann dazu insgesamt als Hohlkörper ausgebildet sein. Es kann auch in zwei oder mehr Gehäuseteile unterteilt sein, von denen beispielsweise jedes ein Elementenpaar der Gelenkverbindung aufnimmt.The invention provides for this purpose in a bracelet of the type mentioned, which can be used in particular as a jewelry or watch strap and is formed from two or more parts, optionally strung together in the form of a link strap, which are articulated with each other or with connecting parts by means of an articulated connection elements Watch cases are connectable, that the elements forming the articulation are surrounded by a housing enclosing these elements essentially on all sides. Such a housing can be designed as a rotating body which has cavities which accommodate the elements of the articulated connection. The housing designed as a rotating body can be designed as a hollow body overall. It can also be divided into two or more housing parts, each of which, for example, receives a pair of elements of the articulated connection.

Das Gehäuse für die Elemente der Gelenkverbindung sollte an den gelenkig zu verbindenden Teilen dicht anliegend ausgebildet sein. Es kann vorzugsweise zylindrisch oder tonnenförmig ausgebildet sein und die gesamten Verbindungselemente aufnehmen. Man kann aber auch bei einer Unterteilung auf mehrere Teilgehäuse eine kugelförmige Ausbildung vorsehen, wobei jedes Kugelgehäuse ein Elementepaar einer Gelenkverbindung aufnimmt. Um einen möglichst großen Schwenkwinkel der Teile zueinander zu gewährleisten, sollte das Gehäuse zwischen den gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Teilen - schwimmend gelagert sein, d.h. sich unabhängig von deren Schwenkbewegung zueinander gegenüber deren Verschwenkachse verschwenken lassen. Die Schwenkbewegung des Gehäuses sollte jedoch durch Anschläge begrenzt sein, die verhindern, daß die durch die gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Teile abgedeckten Durchtrittsöffnungen im Gehäuse für die Elemente der Gelenkverbindung bei der Verschwenkung der Teile ganz oder teilweise freigelegt werden.The housing for the elements of the articulated connection should be designed to fit tightly on the parts to be articulated. It can preferably be cylindrical or barrel-shaped and accommodate the entire connecting elements. However, it is also possible to provide a spherical configuration in the case of a subdivision into a plurality of partial housings, each ball housing receiving a pair of elements of an articulated connection. To ensure the largest possible swivel angle of the parts to each other, the housing should be floating between the articulated parts, i.e. can be pivoted independently of their pivoting movement relative to their pivoting axis. The pivoting movement of the housing should, however, be limited by stops which prevent the passage openings in the housing for the elements of the articulated connection, which are covered by the articulated parts, from being completely or partially exposed when the parts are pivoted.

Die Erfindung läßt mannigfache Ausführungsmöglichkeiten zu. In der-Zeichnung ist eine Ausführungsform, und zwar als Möglichkeit für eine gelenkige Verbindung eines Armbandes mit einem Uhrengehäuse, als Beispiel mit den zum Verständnis wesentlichen Teilen zusammen mit einer Abwandlungsmöglichkeit in stark vergrößertem Maßstab dargestellt, und zwar zeigt

The invention allows for many possible designs. In the - drawing is an embodiment, in which FIG as a possibility for an articulated connection of a bracelet to a watch case, as an example with essential for understanding parts together with a Abwandlungsmöglichkeit in greatly enlarged scale, namely
  • 1 shows a part of a watch case with the connection parts for the articulation of a watch band,
  • 2 shows a section approximately along the line 2-2 of FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 3 shows a section approximately along the line 3 - 3 of Frg. 1 and
  • Fig. 4 shows a modified embodiment in a representation corresponding to Fig. 1.

In Fig. 1 ist das Uhrengehäuse 11 mit den Anschlußteilen für das Armband 12 in gestreckter Form, beispielsweise auf einer Unterlage liegend, dargestellt. Es ist davon ausgegangen, daß das eigentliche Armband 12 beispielsweise aus Leder oder einem ähnlichen Material besteht. Uhrengehäuse 11 und ein Anschluß- bzw. Verbindungsglied 13 für das Lederarmband 12 stossen in der dargestellten gestreckten Lage der Teile zueinander mit ihren Kanten 111 bzw. 131 an der Außenseite des Bandes dicht aneinander, wie am besten aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, während die Kanten an der auf der Unterlage aufliegenden Innenseite bei 112 bzw. 132 Abschrägungen aufweisen, die die gewünschte Bewegungsfreiheit für das Verschwenken der Teile zueinander geben. Das Uhrengehäuse 11 schließt mit dem angrenzenden Anschluß- bzw. Verbindungsglied 13 eine im wesentlichen zylindrische Kammer 14 ein, die sich über die gesamte Breite des Anschluß- bzw. Verbindungsgliedes 13 erstreckt und die Elemente 15 für die gelenkige Verbindung von Uhrengehäuse 11 und Anschlußglied 13, die in Fig. 1 in gestrichelten Linien angedeutet sind, aufnimmt. Es handelt sich hierbei im wesentlichen, wie am besten aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, um paarweise einander zugeordnete Lageraugen 151, 152 bzw. 153, 154 und eine in diese einsteckbare gemeinsame Schwenkachse 155.In Fig. 1, the watch case 11 is shown with the connecting parts for the bracelet 1 2 in an elongated form, for example lying on a pad. It is assumed that the actual bracelet 12 is made of leather or a similar material, for example. Watch case 11 and a connector 13 for the leather strap 12 abut each other in the illustrated stretched position of the parts with their edges 111 and 131 on the outside of the strap, as best seen in Fig. 3, while the Have edges on the inside lying on the base at 112 or 132 bevels, which give the desired freedom of movement for the pivoting of the parts to one another. The watch case 11 encloses with the adjoining connector 13 a substantially cylindrical chamber 14 which extends over the entire width of the connector 13 and the elements 15 for the articulated connection of the watch case 11 and connector 13, which are indicated in Fig. 1 in dashed lines. This is essentially, as best seen in Fig. 3 is visible to each other in pairs associated bearing eyes 151, 152, 153, 154 and a common plug-in this pivot axis 1 55.

In die zylindrische Kammer 14 zwischen Uhrengehäuse 11 und Anschlußglied 13 ist ein als Gehäuse für die Elemente der Gelenkverbindung 15 dienender Zylinder 17 eingepaßt, der als Hohlzylinder mit einer axialen Bohrung 170 und mehreren Querbohrungen 171, 172 sowie 173, 174 ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Querbohrungen ragen die mit den gelenkig miteinander zu verbindenden Teilen verbundenen Lageraugen paarweise von gegenüberliegenden Seiten bis in den Innenraum 170 des Zylindergehäuses 17, so daß von der einen offenen Stirnseite her, die durch einen scheibenförmigen Deckel 16 verschließber ist die gemeinsame Achee 155 in die Lageraugen einschiebbar ist. Die zur Halterung der Lageraugen dienenden rückwärtigen Gewindebolzen sind winklig zueinander versetzt in die zugehörigen Teile eingeschraubt, so daß bei entsprechender Wahl der Durchmesser der Querbohrungen 171, 172, 173, 174 im Vergleich zum Durchmesser der Gewindebolzen auch bei maximaler Verschwenkung von Gehäuse 11 und Anschlußglied 13 gewährleistet ist, daß die Querbohrungen durch die zueinander verschwenkbaren Teile im Bereich der zylindrischen Kammer 14 sicher abgedeckt sind. Hierbei dienen die Wandungen der Querbohrungen als Anschläge für die Gewindebolzen der Lageraugen.In the cylindrical chamber 14 between the watch case 11 and the connecting member 13, a cylinder 17 serving as a housing for the elements of the articulated connection 15 is fitted, which is designed as a hollow cylinder with an axial bore 170 and a plurality of transverse bores 171, 172 and 173, 174. Through these transverse bores, the bearing eyes, which are connected to the parts to be connected to one another in an articulated manner, protrude in pairs from opposite sides into the interior 170 of the cylinder housing 17, so that from one open end side, which is closed by a disk-shaped cover 16, the common ache 155 is in the Bearing eyes can be inserted. The rear threaded bolts used to hold the bearing eyes are at an angle nander offset screwed into the associated parts, so that with a suitable choice of the diameter of the transverse bores 171, 172, 173, 174 compared to the diameter of the threaded bolt even with maximum pivoting of the housing 11 and connecting member 13 is ensured that the cross bores through the mutually pivotable Parts in the area of the cylindrical chamber 14 are securely covered. The walls of the cross holes serve as stops for the threaded bolts of the bearing eyes.

Bei der in Fig. 4 dargestellten abgewandelten Ausführungsform ist das Gehäuse für die Aufnahme der Gelenkverbindung in mehrere Gehäuseteile, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei, unterteilt, wobei jeder Gehäuseteil ein Gelenkelementepaar aufnimmt. Die Gehäuseteile 271 und 272 sind in Fig. 4 zusammen mit den zugehörigen Verbindungselementepaaren teils gestrichelt angedeutet, teils im Schnitt dargestellt. Die Gehäuseteile besitzen die Form einer Kugel mit einer Querbohrung 273, die die Lageraugen 274, 275 sowie 276 und die zugehörige Schwenkachse 277 aufnimmt. Die Halterung für das Lagerauge 276 ist in eine Bohrung 232 des Anschlußgliedes 23 einsteckbar und von der Rückseite durch eine Schraube gehalten. Hinsichtlich der Funktion ergeben sich keine wesentlichen Unterschiede gegenüber der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 bis 3. In Fig.4 sind zwischen den besonders erwähnten Kugelgehäusen 271 und 272 weitere Kugeln dargestellt die natürlich ebenfalls Gelenkverbindungselemente aufnehmen können, aber auch als Blidkugeln im wesentlichen aus geschmacklichen Gründen vorgesehen sein können.In the modified embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the housing for accommodating the articulated connection is divided into a plurality of housing parts, two in the exemplary embodiment shown, each housing part receiving a pair of articulated elements. The housing parts 271 and 272 are indicated in Fig. 4 together with the associated connecting element pairs partly with dashed lines, partly shown in section. The housing parts have the shape of a ball with a transverse bore 273, which receives the bearing eyes 274, 275 and 276 and the associated pivot axis 277. The bracket for the bearing eye 276 can be inserted into a bore 232 of the connecting member 23 and held by a screw from the rear. With regard to the function, there are no significant differences compared to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3. In FIG. 4, further balls are shown between the ball housings 271 and 272 that were mentioned, which of course can also accommodate joint connecting elements, but also as blid balls essentially for reasons of taste can be provided.

Die Befestigung des Lederarmbandes an dem Anschlußglied 13 bzw. 23 bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 4 erfolgt in beiden Fällen in bekannter Weise durch eine Schraubverbindung in Verbindung mit einer Andruckplatte, die in einer Ausnehmung des Anschlußgliedes untergebracht sind.The fastening of the leather bracelet to the connecting member 13 or 23 in the embodiment according to FIG. 4 takes place in both cases in a known manner by a screw connection in connection with a pressure plate which are accommodated in a recess of the connecting member.
