Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new device for fixing an adjustable manner of a bracelet, in particular for a wristwatch.
  • the present invention relates to a device which allows a simple and effective way to quickly adapt the length of a leather element of the bracelet so that it corresponds to the wrist of the user.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for the adjustable fixing of a leather strap on a self-deploying buckle, but it can also be used with other types of buckles.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for fixing a bracelet to a buckle, in particular a leather bracelet to a self-deploying buckle of a watch bracelet, of the type comprising a rod around which the band which is folded is folded. constitutes the bracelet and a support holding a first part of the strip folded around the rod, characterized in that it also comprises two holding members integral with the support, located on either side of the strip and the ends separated from one another by a distance less than the width of the band are at a sufficient distance from the rod in the direction of the bracelet so that the edges of the second part of the band folded around the rod and located opposite the first part which rests on the support can, by deformation of the strip along lines parallel to its length, be engaged below the holding members to determine the useful length of the bracelet.
  • the bracelet is indicated as consisting of a leather band, it is clear that it can be produced with any material having similar characteristics.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a support constituted by a relatively thin metal plate, folded at right angles at its ends to form two wings which are spaced from each other by a distance which is slightly greater than the width of the band constituting the bracelet, the rod being secured between these folded wings, leaving between it and the plate a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the band, the wings thus folded at right angles to the plate being themselves extended in the direction of the bracelet by holding members which are offset inwards at a sufficient distance from the rod so that the band which constitutes the bracelet can be engaged under these members.
  • the leather band which constitutes the bracelet can be folded back on itself in any position of its length while being held in a simple and effective manner by the device which has just been described, without it either need to make holes in the bracelet.
  • the free end of an articulated element of a self-deploying loop comes in closed position to cover and hide the device according to the invention which is fixed to the free end of the 'Another element of the self-deploying buckle so as to keep the latter its aesthetic character.
  • Figure 1 there is shown in strong lines the fastening device, and in fine lines the contours of the leather band which constitutes the bracelet itself.
  • the support plate 3 whose ends 4 and 5 are folded at right angles to form wings which support the rod 1 which can be fixed, for example welded.
  • the distance which separates the rod 1 from the support plate 3 is slightly greater than the thickness of the leather strip 2 and, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the support plate 3 extends sufficiently towards the straight up to 3 a with respect to the rod 1 to keep folded around the rod 1 the part 2 a of the leather band 2.
  • the upper parts of the wings 4 and 5 are extended in the direction of the leather strap and then folded inwards, forming holding members 6 and 7.
  • the distance between the ends of the holding members 6 and 7 is large enough so that by folding parallel to its length the part 2b of the leather band which forms the bracelet, its lateral edges can be slid under the holding members 6 and 7 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • Figure 5 a perspective view of the device according to the invention where we find the different elements shown in Figures 1 to 4 and which have just been described.
  • FIG. 6 which is an elevation view of a self-deploying loop provided with the device according to the invention, the device which has just been described is found in the lower right-hand part.
  • the support plate 3 is fixed to the free end of an element 8 of the self-deploying loop, which is articulated to the other element 9 by a hinge 10.
  • the free end of the element 9 comprises a part 11 which, when the loop is closed, is placed above the wings 4 and 5 and the holding members 6 and 7 to hide them.
  • This element 11 also makes it possible to easily open and close the self-deploying buckle.
  • the other element 12 of the leather strap is articulated on the element 11.
  • the device according to the invention also has the advantage for the user of being able to adjust the length of his bracelet to adapt it to possible variations around his wrist, which can be done without damaging the leather bracelet which does need not be punctured.
  • the device according to the invention can be used to attach straps which are not made of leather but of another material having similar characteristics.
  • the holding members can be produced in a different manner.
