Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bracelet clasp, in particular made of metal for watch straps, with a frame-like bracket and pivoting plates articulated thereon, to which the ends of the bracelet are fastened and which can be pivoted against one another and locked with the bracket.
  • a bracelet closure of this type is known (JP-GM 8612/1985), in which the swivel plates engage in the inner side surfaces of the frame part and are locked here. Frequent opening and closing of the lock wear the swivel plates on their outer edges and the inside of the frame very heavily, so that a good locking is no longer guaranteed and the lock can open unintentionally.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid this disadvantage and to design the bracelet closure in such a way that wear is reduced and a secure closure is always guaranteed even with frequent use.
  • a latching projection is arranged in the central part of the bracket, which has grooves on its two longitudinal edges, and that the pivoting plates each have an open-ended recess at their ends facing each other in the closed state sen, which is slightly narrower than the locking projection and its inner side edges engage in the grooves of the locking projection in the closed state.
  • This configuration has the advantage that the side edges of the frame-like bracket are not worn out and the swivel plates are not subject to wear, since the edges delimiting the edge-open recess of the swivel plates can spring open laterally in the surface of the swivel plates and contract again when the swivel plates are with their recess are pressed over the locking projection.
  • the locking projection itself has no supporting function for the closure, but only serves to lock the swivel plates on the bracket in the closed state. It is also hardly subject to wear, since the side edges of the swivel plates give way laterally when the recesses are pushed over or pulled off the locking projection.
  • the swivel plates have slots which extend from the recesses and extend over almost the entire length of the swivel plates. Since these slots are connected to the recesses, they form long tongues to which the side edges of the recesses adjoin and which, on the one hand, exert a soft, but on the other hand sufficiently large spring force on the side edges of the recesses when they open and close the swivel plates be expanded laterally and then return to their original position.
  • these are advantageously provided with a rounded portion at their ends opposite the recesses.
  • the inner side edges of the recesses can expediently be provided with ridges which engage in the grooves of the locking projection.
  • 10 denotes a watch strap, which in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 5 is designed as a link strap and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 as a leather or plastic strap and whose mutually facing ends 10a and 10b are connected to a bracelet clasp, which is designated 11 in its entirety.
  • the bracelet clasp 11 consists of an elongated, frame-like bracket 12, which is appropriately curved in the longitudinal direction so that it adapts better to the user's wrist.
  • a pivot plate 14a or 14b is articulated with a pin 13.
  • Each swivel plate 14a or 14b is about half as long as the frame-like bracket 12, bent like this and so wide that it fits between the longitudinal bars 15 of the frame-like bracket 12 with little lateral play.
  • the free ends 10a and 10b of the watch band are fastened to the free ends 16a and 16b of the swivel plates 14a and 14b.
  • hinge eyes 17a and 17b are provided, through which a hinge pin 18 can be inserted, the free ends of which are provided for this purpose seen holes 19 engages an end piece 20 on the metal link belt or an end piece 21 which is attached to the leather strap (Fig. 5 and Fig. 8).
  • the two bars 15 of the frame-like bracket 12 are connected to one another in their central part by a flat web 22 which carries an approximately rectangular latching projection 23 between the bars 15 on its upper side.
  • the locking projection 23 has at its two longitudinal edges 24a and 24b grooves 25 or retracted areas which are located in the lower part of the locking projection 23, which is somewhat wider in the upper part and has bevelled upper longitudinal edges, so that there is an approximately mushroom-shaped cross section, such as this can be seen in FIGS. 7A, 7B and 7C.
  • the pivot plates 14a and 14b which abut against one another with their hinge eyelets 17a and 17b in the closed state of the bracelet clasp, each have at their mutually facing ends 16a and 16b an open-edge recess 26a and 26b, the clear width of which is somewhat smaller than the width of the locking projection 23 in the area of its upper longitudinal edges 24a and 24b.
  • the inner side edges 27 of the recesses 26a and 26b extend parallel to the side edges 24 of the locking projection 23 and are provided on their lower edges with beads 28 which can snap into the grooves 25 of the locking projection 23 and the wider upper edges of the side edges 24 of the Reach behind the locking projection, as shown in Fig. 7C.
  • each recess 26a or 26b merges into an elongated slot 29a or 29b which extends in the middle of the respective pivot plate 14a or 14b over almost its entire length and at its Recess 26a or 26b opposite end is provided with a fillet 30a or 30b.
  • the bracelet clasp 11 is made of metal, for example steel, silver or a low-carat gold; but it could also, at least partially, be made of a hard and relatively elastic plastic.
  • the bracelet clasp works as follows:
  • the frame-like strap 12 and the pivot plates 14a and 14b connected to it in an articulated manner assume an approximately extended position, so that the watch strap 10 is extended by approximately twice the length of the strap 12.
  • the watch band 10 When the watch band 10 is closed, its two ends 10a and 10b are guided against one another, the frame-like strap 12 resting on the user's wrist and the pivoting plates 14a and 14b pivoting down against the strap against one another.
  • the mutually facing ends 16a and 16b of the swivel plates 14a and 14b are then pressed with their recesses 26a and 26b over the locking projection 23, the tongues 30 of the swivel plates 14a and 14b separated from the slots 29a and 29b being pressed apart in their plane and the The inner edges 27 of the recesses 26a and 26b slide over the upper edges of the longitudinal edges 24 of the locking projection 23 and engage with the beads 28 in the grooves 25 of the locking projection 23, as shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B and 7C.
  • the resilient restoring force of the tongues 30 presses the inner edges 27 of the recesses 26a and 26b firmly against the longitudinal edges 24 of the projection 23, so that the bracelet closure cannot open unintentionally.
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown and described, but several changes and additions are possible without leaving the scope of the invention.
  • the clasp can be used not only for watch straps, but also for jewelry bracelets and it is also possible to design the connection of the bracelet ends to the clasp somewhat differently, if this results in advantages in individual cases.
