Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for quickly fixing a bracelet and more particularly to a fixing device comprising an elastic bar, one of the elements of which is integral with an actuation button which is arranged under the bracelet and whose actuation allows the introduction or removal of the bar, one end of which is intended to cooperate with a positioning opening, an intermediate introduction opening and a hole which are formed in one of the horns of a box of watch.
  • the strap fixing devices are intended to allow easy replacement of the straps.
  • Previously watch straps were replaced for reasons of wear or aging and these replacements were infrequent which did not require the use of a quick fastening device.
  • manufacturers have been offering several types of straps for the same watch and replacements have become much more frequent in order to adapt different straps to suit different uses, colors or fashion. It therefore became necessary for the users to be able to carry out a practical and rapid replacement of the bracelets themselves.
  • An embodiment known from patent DE-U-91 14446 has an opening which makes it possible to improve the introduction of the bar somewhat, but this embodiment has several drawbacks.
  • This embodiment has a sloping opening, and therefore only a portion of the opening has a sufficient depth to guarantee valid positioning of the end of the bar. It is therefore necessary to actuate the bar by compressing the spring thereof to reach a position in which the end of the bar is in a position in which it can be validly positioned, which has the drawback of requiring several simultaneous actions.
  • the horns are generally of low height, among other things in the case of flat or extra-flat watch cases, and that the very little space available does not allow for a sloping opening providing a valid positioning.
  • a sloping opening does not provide both valid positioning and an intermediate insertion position, which implies that is still possible to miss the hole of the horn by exerting too strong pressure up. In practice, this point is particularly important because it is practically impossible to pull strongly on the elastic bar without simultaneously exerting significant upward pressure.
  • the object of the present invention therefore consists in remedying the drawbacks of the known embodiments.
  • the device for fastening a bracelet comprises, according to the principle of the invention, an elastic bar which is made up of two elements which slide one inside the other and which are subjected to the action of an elastic member. compression.
  • the ends of the bar are intended to cooperate, in the service position, with holes which are made in the horns of the watch case.
  • One of the horns has a positioning opening which is made in the underside of the horn and an intermediate introduction opening which is made in the vertical inner face of the horn.
  • One of the elements of the bar is integral with an actuation button which is arranged under the bracelet, and the end of this element is intended to cooperate with the openings made in the horn.
  • the assembly of the bar is carried out by installing one of the ends of the bar in the horn which has a corresponding hole, by introducing the other end of the bar into the positioning opening, by pulling on the button to introduce this end in the intermediate opening, and by introducing this end into the hole of the horn which comprises the openings, by a slight pressure upwards.
  • This embodiment has many advantages. One of the advantages is that the positioning of the end in the positioning opening is carried out without having to actuate the button of the bar, which facilitates importantly blind research of this openness. The button is then actuated until the end of the bar passes into the intermediate opening, and as soon as the end is engaged in this opening, it is no longer necessary to continue to pull the button which has the advantage of being able to control the pressure exerted upwards.
  • Another advantage is constituted by the fact that the intermediate opening is set back with respect to the internal vertical face of the horn and consequently with respect to the upper part of the hole of the horn, that is to say that even by exerting too much upward pressure, the end of the bar abuts on the upper part of the hole which eliminates the possibility of failure.
  • the positioning opening is made, over its entire length, at the same depth, and this depth necessary for good positioning is small depending on the fact that the end of the bar is engaged over a sufficient length. This small depth required makes it possible to practice the positioning aperture in all types of horns, including horns of very low heights in extra-flat watches.
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view of the quick fastening device of a bracelet, in the closed position.
  • Figure 2 is a bottom view of the fastening device in the closed position.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view of the fixing device in the positioning position.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view of the fixing device in the intermediate insertion position.
  • Figure 5 is a detail side view of one of the horns constituting the fixing device.
  • an elastic bar is constituted by two main elements, an axis 1 and a rod 2 which is slidably mounted in a cylindrical hole 3 which is formed in the axis 1.
  • An elastic member 4 is mounted in the cylindrical hole 3 and acts in compression against the bottom of the cylindrical hole and against the inner end of the rod 2.
  • the elastic member 4 can be constituted by a spring.
  • the axis 1 is mounted in one of the ends of one of the elements of a bracelet 5.
  • the axis 1 comprises a rod 10, the end of which has a semi-spherical shape.
  • the rod 10 is intended to cooperate with a hole 11 which is made in the inner vertical face of a horn with a hole 12 of a watch case 18.
  • the outer part 14 of the rod 2 is intended to cooperate, in the closed position , with a hole 13 which is made in the inner vertical face of a horn with openings 15.
  • a positioning opening 17, of semi-cylindrical shape, is made in the lower horizontal face of the horn 15. The length of the opening is determined according to the length of the bar when it is not actuated and so that the end of the bar is completely inserted into the opening, in this position. the positioning opening 17 is of equal depth over its entire length.
  • the end 14 of the rod 2 is intended to cooperate with the positioning opening 17 in the positioning position.
  • An intermediate introduction opening 16, of semi-cylindrical shape is made in the inner vertical face of the horn 15. This intermediate introduction opening 16 is made from the lower horizontal face of the horn 15 to the hole 13.
  • An actuating rod 8 is fixed on the rod 2, perpendicular thereto.
  • the actuating rod is disposed in an opening 6 which is formed in the axis 1 and in an opening 7 which is formed in the bracelet 5.
  • the end of the actuating rod 8 comprises an actuating button 9 which is disposed under the bracelet 5, and which is intended to be actuated by the finger a user, for example.
  • Figure 3 shows the positioning position, that is to say the position in which the user installs the end of a strap element in the horns of the watch case.
  • the first phase consists in introducing the rod 10 into the hole 11 of the horn 12.
  • the end 14 of the rod 2 is placed in the positioning opening 17 which is formed in the lower horizontal face of the horn 15.
  • the positioning opening allows the user to easily find the correct insertion position for the blind, without having to press button 9.
  • Figure 4 shows the insertion position.
  • the rod 10 remains inserted in the hole 11 of the horn 12.
  • the button 9 is actuated by a finger so as to slide the rod 2 inwards, which has the effect of compressing the elastic member 4 which is arranged in the cylindrical hole 3.
  • the end 14 of the rod 2 is introduced and held in position in the intermediate introduction opening 16, until that it is introduced into the hole 13, that is to say in the closed position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the end 14 automatically comes into abutment against the upper part of the cylindrical hole 3.
  • the bracelet is removed by actuating the actuation button 9 so as to disengage the end 14 of the rod 2 from the hole 13.
  • Figure 5 shows in detail the positioning opening 17 which is formed in the lower horizontal face of the horn 15 which is integral with the watch case 18, and the introduction opening 16 which is formed in the inner vertical face of the horn 15, from the lower horizontal face of the horn up to hole 13.
  • the semi-spherical holes and openings have radii and diameters which are equal with play at the radius and the diameter of the ends of the bar.
  • the materials used to make the fixing device are independent of the principle of the invention.
  • the axes, rods, horns and watch case can be made of ferrous or non-ferrous materials, of noble materials such as gold for example, as well as plastics, composites or ceramics, by way of examples.
  • the materials used for the production of the bracelet are independent of the principle of the invention, the fixing device being able to be adapted to all the bracelets produced in the most diverse materials, this taking into account that if the bracelets are produced in non-deformable materials , an operating clearance must be provided between the bracelet and the lugs.
