Description

La présente invention a pour objet une fermeture de lien souple, par exemple de bracelet montre ou de ceinture, conforme au préambule de la revendication 1, une telle fermeture étant connue par le DE-A-1 956 105.The subject of the present invention is a flexible link closure, for example a watch strap or a belt, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, such closure being known from DE-A-1 956 105.

Les fermetures connues de ce type présentent divers inconvénients, notamment de nécessiter, pour leur réglage, le percement d'une série de trous dans le lien, la présence d'une extrémité du lien qui dépasse au-delà de la fermeture et doit être retenue dans une boucle du bracelet ou du vêtement auquel est fixée la ceinture, ainsi qu'une sécurité de fermeture souvent insuffisante. En effet, dans le cas des fermetures comportant un couvercle formant fermoir, celui-ci peut parfois se débloquer intempestivement.Known closures of this type have various drawbacks, in particular requiring, for their adjustment, the drilling of a series of holes in the link, the presence of one end of the link which protrudes beyond the closure and must be retained in a loop of the bracelet or of the garment to which the belt is attached, as well as often insufficient closing security. Indeed, in the case of closings comprising a cover forming a clasp, the latter can sometimes be released unexpectedly.

Les documents CH-A-416 191 et CH-A-465 942 décrivent également des fermetures pourvues soit d'un double couvercle formant fermoir, volumineux et encombrant, soit d'un crochet de sécurité encastré dans un couvercle, et de ce fait peu fiable.The documents CH-A-416 191 and CH-A-465 942 also describe closures provided either with a double cover forming a clasp, bulky and bulky, or with a safety hook embedded in a cover, and therefore little reliable.

L'invention a pour but de proposer une fermeture de lien souple avec laquelle ces inconvénients sont écartés.The object of the invention is to propose a flexible link closure with which these drawbacks are eliminated.

La fermeture de lien souple visée par l'invention est conforme à la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.The flexible link closure targeted by the invention is in accordance with the characterizing part of claim 1.

Le second élément peut être monté dans une position réglable sur le lien, tandis que le premier élément peut être fixé à une extrémité du lien. Le second élément étant convenablement positionné sur le lien, on comprend que l'extrémité libre du lien située au-delà du second élément vienne s'interposer entre la peau ou un vêtement de l'utilisateur, et l'extrémité du lien à laquelle est fixée le premier élément.The second element can be mounted in an adjustable position on the link, while the first element can be fixed at one end of the link. The second element being suitably positioned on the link, it is understood that the free end of the link located beyond the second element comes to come between the user's skin or clothing, and the end of the link to which the first element is attached.

Ainsi est dissimulée l'extrémité libre disgracieuse et gênante du lien.Thus is concealed the unsightly and annoying free end of the link.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaitront au cours de la description qui va suivre, faite en référence au dessin annexé qui en illustre une forme de réalisation à titre d'exemple non limitatif.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawing which illustrates an embodiment thereof by way of nonlimiting example.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'une forme de réalisation de la fermeture de lien souple selon l'invention.Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the flexible link closure according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un lien souple muni de la fermeture de la Fig.1 en position verrouillée.Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a flexible link provided with the closure of Fig.1 in the locked position.

La fermeture illustrée au dessin est destinée à un lien souple 1 dont on voit les deux extrémités 1a et 1b, tel qu'un bracelet-montre ou une ceinture par exemple.The closure illustrated in the drawing is intended for a flexible link 1, the two ends 1a and 1b of which can be seen, such as a watch strap or a belt for example.

Cette fermeture 2 comprend deux éléments 3 et 4 solidaires du lien 1, à savoir dans cet exemple respectivement de l'extrémité 1a et de l'extrémité 1b. L'élément 3 est fixé au bout de l'extrémité 1a, tandis que l'élément 4 est enfilé dans une position réglable sur l'extrémité 1b, en fonction de la dimension du support qui doit être entouré par le lien 1, par exemple un poignet s'il s'agit d'un bracelet montre.This closure 2 comprises two elements 3 and 4 integral with the link 1, namely in this example respectively the end 1a and the end 1b. The element 3 is fixed at the end of the end 1a, while the element 4 is threaded in an adjustable position on the end 1b, depending on the size of the support which must be surrounded by the link 1, for example a wrist if it is a watch strap.

A cet effet l'élément 4 comporte deux joues latérales 5 reliées par des barrettes transversales 6, 7 et une plaquette 8 montée basculante autour d'un axe tranversal 10, le lien 1b passant entre d'une part la plaquette 8 et l'axe 10, et d'autre part les barrettes 6 et 7. La plaquette 8 a une section en équerre avec un bord longitudinal 8a faisant avec le reste de la plaquette un angle légèrement supérieur à 90 degrés. Ceci permet d'enfoncer le lien 1b lors de la fermeture de cette plaquette entre les barrettes transversales 6 et 7 et de l'empêcher de glisser.To this end, the element 4 comprises two lateral cheeks 5 connected by transverse bars 6, 7 and a plate 8 pivotally mounted around a transverse axis 10, the link 1b passing between on the one hand the plate 8 and the axis 10, and on the other hand the bars 6 and 7. The plate 8 has a square section with a longitudinal edge 8a forming with the rest of the insert an angle slightly greater than 90 degrees. This allows the link 1b to be pushed in when this plate is closed between the transverse bars 6 and 7 and to prevent it from sliding.

L'élément 3 possède un axe 9, qui porte un couvercle 11 formant fermoir, et qui est adapté pour pouvoir venir s'emboîter dans des portées 12 de retenue ménagées sur des crochets 13 du second élément 4. Dans l'exemple décrit, les crochets 13 sont formés aux extrémités des joues 5 avec lesquelles ils sont venus de matière.The element 3 has a pin 9, which carries a cover 11 forming a clasp, and which is adapted to be able to fit into retaining surfaces 12 formed on hooks 13 of the second element 4. In the example described, the hooks 13 are formed at the ends of the cheeks 5 with which they have come in one piece.

Le fermoir 11, de préférence convexe vers l'extérieur de la fermeture, est pourvu d'un bossage central 14 et peut venir se rabattre et se verrouiller sur une tige transversale 15 de liaison entre les oreilles 5, par encliquetage du bossage 14 sur cette tige 15 (Fig.2).The clasp 11, preferably convex towards the outside of the closure, is provided with a central boss 14 and can be folded down and locked on a transverse rod 15 connecting between the ears 5, by snap-fastening of the boss 14 on this rod 15 (Fig. 2).

L'axe 9 peut être formé en deux parties séparables, par exemple deux demi-axes 9a, 9b vissés dans un manchon central 18 du couvercle 11. Pour faciliter ce vissage, les surfaces latérales des têtes des demi-axes 9a, 9b présentent des empreintes 19 appropriées au vissage par un tournevis.The axis 9 can be formed in two separable parts, for example two half-axes 9a, 9b screwed into a central sleeve 18 of the cover 11. To facilitate this screwing, the lateral surfaces of the heads of the half-axes 9a, 9b have imprints 19 suitable for screwing with a screwdriver.

L'élément 4 est muni d'un crochet de sécurité 16 articulé sur l'axe 10, et dont la partie terminale active est incurvée avec un rayon de courbure correspondant à celui du manchon 18, afin de pouvoir venir se placer sur celui-ci. Cette partie terminale incurvée est délimitée d'un côté par une pointe 16a et de l'autre côté par un bossage 16b positionné et dimensionné de façon à venir frotter sur le manchon 18 afin de bloquer le crochet 16 sur ce dernier. Complémentairement une fenêtre 17 est ménagée à la base du fermoir 11 et dans sa partie centrale, en regard du manchon 18.The element 4 is provided with a safety hook 16 articulated on the axis 10, and the active end portion of which is curved with a radius of curvature corresponding to that of the sleeve 18, so as to be able to be placed thereon. . This curved end portion is delimited on one side by a point 16a and on the other side by a boss 16b positioned and dimensioned so as to come and rub on the sleeve 18 in order to block the hook 16 on the latter. Additionally, a window 17 is provided at the base of the clasp 11 and in its central part, in look of sleeve 18.

La fenêtre 17 permet de rabattre le fermoir 11 sur l'extrémité du crochet de sécurité 16 après que ce dernier ait été encliqueté sur le manchon 18.The window 17 enables the clasp 11 to be folded over the end of the safety hook 16 after the latter has been snapped onto the sleeve 18.

La mise en oeuvre de la fermeture qui vient d'être décrite est très simple et s'effectue de la manière suivante.The implementation of the closure which has just been described is very simple and is carried out in the following manner.

Après avoir convenablement positionné l'élément 4 par glissement sur le lien souple 1, et blocage sur ce dernier par basculement de la plaquette 8 sur l'extrémité 1b, l'utilisateur vient placer l'axe 9 sur les portées 12 des crochets 13, le fermoir 11 étant levé comme dans la position de la Fig.1. Puis l'utilisateur fait basculer le crochet de sécurité 16 de façon que sa partie terminale incurvée vienne s'appliquer sur le manchon 18, avec blocage dans cette position par le bossage 16b. Ensuite il suffit de rabattre le fermoir 11 dans la position de la Fig.2, dans laquelle il est maintenu par friction du bossage 14 sur la tige transversale 15.After having properly positioned the element 4 by sliding on the flexible link 1, and blocking on the latter by tilting the plate 8 on the end 1b, the user comes to place the axis 9 on the bearing surfaces 12 of the hooks 13, the clasp 11 being lifted as in the position of Fig.1. Then the user swings the safety hook 16 so that its curved end part comes to bear on the sleeve 18, with locking in this position by the boss 16b. Then it suffices to fold the clasp 11 in the position of FIG. 2, in which it is held by friction of the boss 14 on the transverse rod 15.

La mise en place de la fermeture peut donc s'effectuer d'une seule main, et le lien reste fermé même si le couvercle fermoir 11 est intempestivement relevé. En effet, le crochet de sécurité 16 reste en place et garantit le maintien de l'axe 9 dans l'élément 4.The establishment of the closure can therefore be carried out with one hand, and the link remains closed even if the clasp cover 11 is inadvertently raised. Indeed, the safety hook 16 remains in place and guarantees the maintenance of the axis 9 in the element 4.

Pour ouvrir cette fermeture il suffit de relever le fermoir 11, puis le crochet 16, opérations qui ne présentent pas de difficulté.To open this closure, it suffices to raise the clasp 11, then the hook 16, operations which do not present any difficulty.

On notera que l'extrémité 1b du lien 1 sur laquelle est monté l'élément 4 est interposée, après verrouillage de cette fermeture, entre l'objet enserré, et l'extrémité 1a du lien portant l'élément 3. Ainsi l'extrémité 1b non seulement n'est plus visible, ce qui améliore l'esthétique du lien vu de l'extérieur, mais n'a plus besoin d'être maintenue en place par des boucles complémentaires comme dans les dispositifs traditionnels.It will be noted that the end 1b of the link 1 on which the element 4 is mounted is interposed, after locking of this closure, between the enclosed object, and the end 1a of the link carrying the element 3. Thus the end 1b not only is no longer visible, which improves the aesthetics of the link seen from the outside, but no longer needs to be held in place by complementary loops as in traditional devices.

En variante, il est possible d'intervertir les éléments 3 et 4, c'est-à-dire de positionner l'élément 3 avec son fermoir 11 sur l'extrémité 1b à la place de l'élément 4 et de fixer ce dernier au bout de la partie terminale la du lien 1. Il est également possible de réaliser le fermoir 11, 18 et l'axe 9 d'une seule pièce, ce qui facilite une meilleure fermeture du fermoir. Eventuellemnt aussi, le fermoir 11 pourrait être articulé sur l'axe 9.As a variant, it is possible to invert the elements 3 and 4, that is to say to position the element 3 with its clasp 11 on the end 1b in place of the element 4 and to fix the latter at the end of the terminal part of the link 1. It is also possible to make the clasp 11, 18 and the pin 9 in one piece, which facilitates better closure of the clasp. Optionally also, the clasp 11 could be articulated on the axis 9.

Les deux demi-axes 9a, 9b peuvent être vissés dans un tube central de liaison traversant le manchon 18, ou bien l'un dans l'autre.The two half-axes 9a, 9b can be screwed into a central connecting tube passing through the sleeve 18, or one into the other.

Le fermoir 11 pourra être solidaire ou bien non solidaire de l'axe 19.The clasp 11 may be fixed or else not fixed to the axis 19.

Dans le cas où le fermoir est solidaire, l'axe 9 est fabriqué en deux pièces venant se visser et se bloquer dans le manchon 18.In the case where the clasp is integral, the pin 9 is made in two pieces which are screwed and locked in the sleeve 18.

Dans le cas où le fermoir n'est pas solidaire, l'axe 9 est d'un seul tenant et le fermoir 11 joue alors librement sur l'axe 9 y compris latéralement.In the case where the clasp is not integral, the axis 9 is in one piece and the clasp 11 then plays freely on the axis 9 including laterally.

Enfin, il est possible de déplacer le bossage 14 du fermoir 11 en regard de l'axe 10 du crochet de sécurité 16. Le fermoir 11 peut alors venir se rabattre et se verrouiller sur l'axe 10, ce qui permet la suppression de la tige 15.Finally, it is possible to move the boss 14 of the clasp 11 opposite the axis 10 of the safety hook 16. The clasp 11 can then be folded down and locked on the axis 10, which allows the removal of the rod 15.
