Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wristwatch with a removable and interchangeable strap.
  • the time module of a wristwatch has always been the most precious element of the whole. We have therefore always endeavored to make the bracelets replaceable, whether they are leather, fabric or metal bracelets, made up of two parts made integral with the module by fixing bars.
  • the difficulty encountered in making interchangeable bracelets is due to the way of adapting the module to the bracelet.
  • Patent US-C-4,229,936 describes a wristwatch, the bracelet of which has a depression having a shape corresponding to that of the time module, so as to constitute a housing for the latter.
  • the time module is retained in this housing by means of a cover fixed on the bracelet above said depression.
  • the fixing of the cover is carried out by wedging or by gluing and it is normally not intended that the bracelet is interchangeable, the object of the invention being the subject of US Patent No. 4,229,936 being mainly to allow simplifying the shape of the time module and lower the cost of manufacturing the wristwatch.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a wristwatch with a removable and interchangeable strap which allows the use of leather as a lining material and which is extremely simple to handle when it comes to making the most of it. the interchangeable character and to replace one bracelet with another.
  • the invention relates to a wristwatch with a removable and interchangeable bracelet comprising a clasp acting by cooperation of male and female organs, a bracelet connecting in one piece the two parts of the clasp, a time module and means to fix the time module on the bracelet, the bracelet having a depression whose shape corresponds to that of the time module, so as to constitute a housing for the latter, and also comprising, at each of its ends, hooking means of the two parts of the clasp, characterized in that the time module comprises two lugs intended to cooperate by sliding with the profiled ends of a fixing ring so as to hold the module on the bracelet by the combined play of the positioning of the module in its housing and holding the module in this position by the effect of the fixing ring.
  • the male part of the clasp may include notches and the female part a member cooperating with said notches. so that the length of the bracelet varies from notch to notch according to the greater or lesser penetration of the male part into the female part.
  • the attachment members with which the two parts of the clasp are provided, can be eccentric pivoting clamps, the support part of which comprises a bulge whose shape corresponds to that of the grooves present at each end of the bracelet.
  • the fixing ring can have the shape of a half-crown half matching that of the time module and comprise at each of its ends a U-shaped profile intended to bear on the one hand on the lower surface of the bracelet and on the other hand on the lugs of the module, the lugs of the module and the profiled ends of the ring which may include male-female members whose cooperation keeps the module in a determined orientation thus preventing the module from pivoting and releasing its lugs from the ends of the ring.
  • the shape of the lower part of the module and that of the housing intended to accommodate it may include male-female members intended to prevent the module from pivoting in the housing so that, in the plane of the bracelet, the position of the module in the accommodation is fully determined.
  • the notches 5 of the lugs 4 are intended to cooperate with bulges present inside the ends 6 of the ring 7.
  • the cooperation of the bulges which are not shown in the drawing, but which have no difficulty in imagine, forbidden the module to turn on itself.
  • the skeleton of the bracelet consists of three distinct parts in terms of their properties but physically constituting a whole.
  • the first part 12, which occupies a middle position, is reinforced so as to offer a certain rigidity, this mistletoe provides better seating for the module in its housing. Reinforcement can be achieved by introducing a metal frame during the molding of the bracelet.
  • the other two parts 13 are similar to each other and are made of a flexible but non-deformable material, such as plastic.
  • the skeleton as illustrated in FIG. 2 is then sheathed in leather (or another material as already mentioned above) so that the sheath perfectly matches the shape of the skeleton.
  • the sheath is made integral with the skeleton, for example by gluing.
  • the hole 15 is only a depression, the bonding at this location of the two parts of the sheath one on the other constituting a bottom.
  • the upper part of the sheath is driven into the holes and trenches and comes to meet your lower part which does not move.
  • the module is pressed against the bracelet and remains held there until the user does not remove the ring by the reverse operation.
  • FIG 5 illustrates the cooperation of the two parts 8 and 10 of the clasp.
  • the notches 9 and the rocker plunger device 17 which is shown very schematically in the drawing; the point here being only to state its presence and its function; otherwise well known.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a solution for ensuring the immobility of the module, which constitutes an alternative to the notches 5; the shape of the recesses 18 being chosen arbitrarily but taking care to provide the lower part of the lug module with the corresponding shape.
  • the advantages of the wristwatch according to the invention are, objectively, to allow the use of leather as a lining material and to offer very simple handling when changing the strap.
  • the use of leather allows, while retaining the interchangeable character, to restore the watch to the support of a noble material with which it had cohabited for a long time.
  • the simplicity of changing the bracelet is a very appreciable advantage and it suffices to judge that the user only uses his fingers to do so. Indeed, he just needs to press the button on the clasp to release it and take off his watch. It then releases the fixing ring by sliding by simply pulling on the ends. It then suffices for him to take the module, release the two eccentric clamps and choose another bracelet. The whole of these operations is so simple that it can be easily carried out blindly.
  • the subjective advantage of the wristwatch according to the invention is to offer a set of great aesthetic originality and to allow an assortment not only of colors but also of materials since belts, shoes and bags are traditionally made of leather.
