Abstract

A device for fastening a strap to a buckle, in particular a leather strap to a self-extending buckle of a wristwatch comprises spindle around which a band making up the strap is coiled, and a support holding a first part of the band in place coiled around the spindle. In addition, the device includes two posiitoning devices of one piece with the support, located one on each side of the band and whose ends, separated one from the other by a distance smaller than the width of the band, are located at a sufficient distance from the spindle toward the strap so that the edges of the second part of the band coiled around the spindle and located on the side opposite to the first part bearing on the support, may, by twisting the band along lines parallel to its length, be inserted underneath the positioning devices in order to determine the useful length of the strap.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un nouveau dispositif de fixa­tion de manière réglable d'un bracelet, en particulier pour bracelet-montre.The present invention relates to a new device for fixing an adjustable manner of a bracelet, in particular for a wristwatch.

Il est actuellement connu par example du document CH-A-608702 d'utiliser pour des montre-bracelets, des boucles dites auto-déployantes qui sont constituées par deux éléments métalliques articulés entre eux à une de leurs extrémités, alors que l'au­tre extrémité de chacun d'eux est reliée à une extrémité des éléments du bracelet qui sont le plus souvent constitués par des bandes de cuir.It is currently known, for example from document CH-A-608702, to use so-called self-deploying buckles for wristwatches which are constituted by two metallic elements hinged together at one of their ends, while the other end of each of them is connected to one end of the elements of the bracelet which are most often constituted by strips of leather.

Ces dispositifs présentent l'avantage d'être particulièrement esthétiques et d'éviter que la montre ne risque de tomber lorsque l'on ouvre la boucle du bracelet, du fait que cette ouverture se limite à accroî­tre sensiblement la périphérie du bracelet, qui peut ainsi passer autour de la main.These devices have the advantage of being particularly aesthetic and of preventing the watch from falling when the strap buckle is opened, since this opening is limited to substantially increasing the periphery of the strap, which can thus pass around the hand.

Cependant ces bracelets à boucle auto-déployante, présentent l'inconvénient qu'il est nécessaire d'adapter les bandes de cuir qui consti­tuent le bracelet proprement dit pour qu'elles aient dans chaque cas une longueur qui correspond au tour de poignet de l'utilisateur de la montre. La présente invention est relative à un dispositif qui permet d'une manière simple et efficace d'adapter rapidement la longueur d'un élément en cuir du bracelet pour que ce dernier corresponde au tour de poignet de l'utilisa­teur.However, these bracelets with self-deploying buckle have the disadvantage that it is necessary to adapt the leather bands which constitute the bracelet itself so that they have in each case a length which corresponds to the wrist circumference of the watch user. 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.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement approprié à la fixation ajustable d'un bracelet en cuir sur une boucle auto-déployante, mais il peut également être utilisé avec d'autres types de boucles.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.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur une boucle, en particulier d'un bracelet en cuir sur une boucle auto-déployante de bracelet-montre, du type comportant une tige autour de laquelle est repliée la bande qui constitue le bracelet et un support mainte­nant une première partie de la bande repliée autour de la tige, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte en outre deux organes de maintien solidaires du support, situés de part et d'autre de la bande et dont les extrémités écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance inférieure à la largeur de la bande sont à une distance suffisante de la tige en direction du bracelet pour que les bords de la seconde partie de la bande repliée autour de la tige et située à l'opposé de la première partie qui s'appuie sur le support puissent, par déformation de la bande selon des lignes parallèles à sa longueur, être engagés en dessous des organes de maintien pour déterminer la longueur utile du bracelet.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.

Conformément à l'invention et bien que dans la description le bracelet soit indiqué comme constitué par une bande en cuir, il est clair qu'il peut être réalisé avec tout matériau présentant des caractéristiques similaires.According to the invention and although in the description the bracelet is indicated as consisting of a leather band, it is clear that it can be produced with any material having similar characteristics.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le dispositif selon l'inven­tion comporte un support constitué par une plaque métallique relativement mince, repliée à angle droit à ses extrémités pour former deux ailes qui sont écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance qui est légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la bande constituant le bracelet, la tige étant assujettie entre ces ailes repliées en laissant entre elle et la plaque une distance légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur de la bande, les ailes ainsi repliées à angle droit par rapport à la plaque étant elle-mêmes prolongées en direction du bracelet par des organes de maintien qui sont déportés vers l'intérieur à une distance suffisante de la tige pour que l'on puisse enga­ger sous ces organes la bande qui constitue le bracelet.In a preferred embodiment, 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.

Grâce à l'invention, la bande de cuir qui constitue le bracelet peut être repliée sur elle-même en une position quelconque de sa longueur en étant maintenue de manière simple et efficace par le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit, sans qu'il soit besoin de réaliser d'orifices dans le bracelet.Thanks to the invention, 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.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'extrémité libre d'un élément articulé d'une boucle auto-déployante vient en position fermée recouvrir et cacher le dispositif selon l'invention qui est fixé à l'extrémité libre de l'autre élément de la boucle auto-déployante de ma­nière à conserver à cette dernière son caractère esthétique.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, 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.

Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va décrire maintenant à titre d'illustration et sans aucun caractère limitatif un mode de réalisation pris comme exemple et représenté sur le dessin annexé. Sur ce dessin:

  • la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'un dispositif selon l'inven­tion,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en élèvation du dispositif de la figure 1,
  • les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues en coupe selon III-III des figures 1 et 2,
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective du dispositif des figures 1 à 4, et
  • la figure 6 est une vue en élèvation d'une boucle auto-déployante munie du dispositif des figures 1 à 5.
In order to better understand the invention, we will now describe by way of illustration and without any limiting character an embodiment taken as an example and shown in the accompanying drawing. On this drawing:
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is an elevation view of the device of FIG. 1,
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are sectional views along III-III of FIGS. 1 and 2,
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the device of FIGS. 1 to 4, and
  • FIG. 6 is an elevation view of a self-deploying loop provided with the device of FIGS. 1 to 5.

Sur la figure 1 on a représenté en traits forts le dispositif de fixation, et en traits fins les contours de la bande de cuir qui constitue le bracelet proprement dit.In 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.

On voit sur les figures 1 à 3 la tige métallique 1 autour de laquelle se trouve repliée la bande de cuir 2 du bracelet pour former les parties 2a et 2b.We see in Figures 1 to 3 the metal rod 1 around which is folded the leather band 2 of the bracelet to form the parts 2 a and 2 b .

On voit également sur les figures 1 et 4, la plaque support 3 dont les extrémités 4 et 5 sont repliées à angle droit pour former des ailes qui supportent la tige 1 qui peut être fixée, par exemple soudée.Also seen in Figures 1 and 4, 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.

Conformément à l'invention la distance qui sépare la tige 1 de la plaque support 3 est légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur de la bande de cuir 2 et, comme vu sur les figures 1 et 2, la plaque support 3 se prolonge suffisamment vers la droite jusqu'en 3a par rapport à la tige 1 pour maintenir repliée autour de la tige 1 la partie 2a de la bande de cuir 2.In accordance with the invention, 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.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 5, les parties supé­rieures des ailes 4 et 5 sont prolongées en direction du bracelet de cuir puis repliées vers l'intérieur en formant des organes de maintien 6 et 7.In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 5, 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.

La distance séparant les extrémités des organes de maintien 6 et 7 est suffisamment importante pour que en repliant parallèlement à sa longueur la partie 2b de la bande de cuir qui forme le bracelet, on puisse glisser ses bords latéraux sous les organes de maintien 6 et 7 comme représenté sur la figure 3.The distance separating 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.

On voit que l'on peut de cette manière régler à volonté, la lon­gueur utile du bracelet en cuir qui est assujetti à la boucle, par le fait que les deux parties 2a et 2b de ce bracelet peuvent être en un endroit quelconque, repliées l'une contre l'autre, autour de la tige 1 comme on peut le voir en coupe sur la figure 4.We see that we can in this way adjust at will, the useful length of the leather strap which is subject to the buckle, by the fact that the two parts 2 a and 2 b of this strap can be in any location, folded against each other, around the rod 1 as can be seen in section in FIG. 4.

On a représenté sur la figure 5 une vue en perspective du disposi­tif selon l'invention où l'on retrouve les différents éléments représentés sur les figures 1 à 4 et qui viennent d'être décrits.There is shown in 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.

Sur la figure 6 qui est une vue en élévation d'une boucle auto-déployante munie du dispositif selon l'invention, on retrouve à la partie inférieure droite le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit.In Figure 6 which is an elevational view of a self-deploying loop provided with the device according to the invention, we find in the lower right part the device which has just been described.

Dans le cas du mode de réalisation de la figure 6, la plaque-support 3 est fixée à l'extrémité libre d'un élément 8 de la boucle auto-déployante, lequel est articulé à l'autre élément 9 par une charnière 10.In the case of the embodiment of FIG. 6, 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.

L'extrémité libre de l'élément 9 comporte une pièce 11 qui lors de la fermeture de la boucle vient se placer au-dessus des ailes 4 et 5 et des organes de maintien 6 et 7 pour les cacher.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.

Cet élément 11 permet également de procéder facilement à l'ouver­ture et à la fermeture de la boucle auto-déployante.This element 11 also makes it possible to easily open and close the self-deploying buckle.

L'autre élément 12 du bracelet en cuir est fixé de manière articu­lée sur l'élément 11.The other element 12 of the leather strap is articulated on the element 11.

On voit que, conformément à l'invention, il est possible d'une manière simple et efficace d'ajuster la longueur de l'élément de bracelet en cuir autour du poignet de l'utilisateur, ce qui présente l'avantage de n'avoir à fabriquer et à tenir en stock qu'un type unique de bracelet.It can be seen that, in accordance with the invention, it is possible in a simple and effective way to adjust the length of the leather strap element around the wrist of the user, which has the advantage of not have to make and keep in stock only a single type of bracelet.

Le dispositif selon l'invention présente également pour l'utili­sateur, l'avantage de pouvoir ajuster la longueur de son bracelet pour l'adapter aux variations éventuelles du tour de son poignet, ce qui peut être effectué sans détériorer le bracelet en cuir qui n'a pas besoin d'être perforé.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 does not need to be punctured.

Il est clair que le dispositif selon l'invention peut être utilisé pour fixer des bracelets qui ne sont pas en cuir mais en un autre matériau présentant des caractéristiques analogues.It is clear that 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.
