Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for attaching the strands of a bracelet to a watch case comprising a crystal and a middle part, said device comprising for each of the strands at least one horn attached to the middle part and a bar for assembling the horn to the strand so as to allow the articulation of said strand on said horn.
  • Lugs have often been brought back afterwards on the middle.
  • this mode of operation greatly facilitates the execution of the box both for machining and for termination, since the middle can be machined on the lathe without this machining being able to be hampered by horns which would be an integral part of the middle.
  • the present invention also provides horns attached to the middle part, these horns however being produced in a much simpler manner than those described in the documents cited above.
  • the device for attaching the strands of the bracelet to the watch case is characterized by the fact that the horn comprises at least two thin plates cut into shape and juxtaposed, a portion of said plates being introduced into a blind housing presented by the middle part to receive a pin introduced at the same time into a first hole made in the middle and second holes made in the plates for fixing said horn to said box.
  • FIG. 1 shows a wristwatch comprising a box 3 to which two strands 1 and 2 of a bracelet are attached.
  • the box 3 comprises a middle part 10, a crystal 9 through which there are needles 12 for displaying the time and a bottom 11.
  • the attachment device comprises for each of the strands 1 and 2 a horn 4 which is attached on the middle.
  • a bar 5 assembles the horn to the strand so as to allow, in a manner known per se, the articulation of the strand on the horn.
  • the horn 4 comprises at least two plates 6 cut in shape and juxtaposed and then partially introduced into a blind housing 7 made in the middle 10.
  • a pin 8 is received both in a hole 14 made in the middle and in second holes 15 made in the plates to fix the horn to the box.
  • blind housing is meant here a housing made in the thickness of the middle part and leaving material between the inside of the box and the outside thereof. This housing has a bottom 25 (see Figure 3).
  • FIG. 3 which is a section along line III - III of Figure 1, shows how a plate 6 of the horn 4 is adjusted relative to the middle 10.
  • the blind housing 7 which has the bottom 25.
  • the plates are then introduced into the housing, then the pin 8 is chased first in the first hole 14 made in the middle part then in the second hole 15 made in the plate and finally in the first hole 14 made in the middle (see also Figure 1).
  • FIG. 3 also shows that the strand 2 of the bracelet is fixed to the horn 4 by means of the bar 5 introduced into a hole 16 made in the plates 6 of the horn 4.
  • Figures 1 and 3 also show that we can take advantage of the presence of the horns 4 to seal the glass 9 on the middle 10.
  • the plate 6 has a projection or overhang 17 which bites on the glass and presses it on the middle.
  • the seal is ensured by a lining 13 pinched between the crystal and the middle part.
  • FIG. 4 is a section showing an alternative embodiment of the section illustrated in FIG. 3. The only difference consists in fixing the crystal 9 in a housing 26 located on the top of the middle part 10, a seal 27 ensuring the tightness, the plate 6 contributing in no way to the fixing of the crystal to the middle part.
  • FIG. 2 shows a front view of a second embodiment of the fastening device according to the invention.
  • each strand of the bracelet is attached to the box 3 by means of two horns 4 each having two plates 6.
  • the plates are fixed in a similar manner to what has been described above.
  • Figures 1 and 2 also show horns 4 made of a plurality of plates 6 cut and juxtaposed.
  • the plates forming the horn all have the same cutout.
  • each horn is formed of three plates 30, 31 and 32 whose cutouts are different and this in order to seek an original aesthetic. If the three plates are fixed to the box by the pin 8 already described above, the strand 2 of the bracelet is only attached to the horns 4 by the end of the plate 32 by means of the bar 5.
  • the embodiments which have been described show that the device claimed and using cut plates, allows a host of variants by which the final appearance of the watch can be modified.
  • the plates can be cut from the same strip by means of a stamp. In this case all the plates would have the same coloring.
  • the base material can be steel or gold. We can also consider the alternation of two materials, for example steel and gold to obtain a two-tone appearance. Whatever the material used, it will be noted that the plates forming the horn are easy to produce, without complicated machining, since they come from stamping. As a result, the attachment device is inexpensive while presenting an attractive and new appearance.
  • FIG. 8 shows a particular embodiment of the plate 6.
  • the support zones 18 and 19 the projection 17, the clearance 21 and the holes 15 and 16 respectively receiving the pin for fixing the plate to the middle part and the strap for attaching the bracelet strand to the plate.
  • the plate has a recess 20, cut at the same time as the outer contour of the plate, this recess allowing a saving of material, particularly if the plate is made of gold.
