Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Armbanduhr mit einem einteiligen, am Uhrengehäuse abnehmbar befestigten Armband.The invention relates to a wristwatch with a one-piece bracelet that is removably attached to the watch case.

Bei Armbanduhren dieser Art ist das Armband durch zwei am Uhrengehäuse einander diametral gegenüberliegend vorgesehene Bandösen hindurch- und am Gehäuserücken entlanggeführt. Das Armband besteht dabei üblicherweise aus einem Gewebe oder Geflecht aus Kunststoff, insbesondere Perlon, was eine aufwendige Fertigung mit entsprechend hohen Kosten erfordert. Dabei gestaltet sich ein Wechsel des Armbandes, insbesondere aufgrund der am einen Bandende vorgesehenen Bandschnalle, umständlich, wobei zu dessen Halterung das Uhrengehäuse mit speziellen Ösen auszustatten ist.In wristwatches of this type, the bracelet is passed through two strap eyelets provided diametrically opposite one another on the watch case and is guided along the back of the case. The bracelet usually consists of a fabric or braid made of plastic, in particular perlon, which requires complex production at correspondingly high costs. In this case, changing the strap is complicated, in particular because of the strap buckle provided at one end of the strap, the watch case having to be equipped with special eyelets for holding it.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Armbanduhr der eingangs erläuterten Art anzugeben, die sich durch ein einfach herzustellendes Armband, einen schnell durchführbaren Bandwechsel und ein konstruktiv vereinfachtes Uhrengehäuse auszeichnet.The invention is based on the object of specifying a wristwatch of the type described at the outset which is distinguished by an easy-to-manufacture bracelet, a band which can be carried out quickly and a structurally simplified watch case.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass das Armband aus einer Kunststoffolie gefertigt ist und einen Durchbruch aufweist, in den das Uhrengehäuse durch Einstecken eines Gehäuseteils gesichert und auswechselbar gehalten ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the bracelet is made of a plastic film and has an opening into which the watch case is secured and exchangeably secured by inserting a case part.

Das Armband lässt sich in der gewünschten Gestalt in einfacher Weise aus einer Kunststoffolie entsprechender Dicke derart ausschneiden bzw. ausstanzen, dass sich danach in dessen Durchbruch das Uhrengehäuse in geeigneter Weise durch Einklipsen bzw. Einrasten festlegen lässt. Dies lässt sich, ohne Anordnung zusätzlich anzubringender Hilfsmittel am Uhrengehäuse, bei entsprechender Gehäuseausbildung vorteilhaft bewerkstelligen. Dabei bietet die Erfindung die Möglichkeit, Armbänder in verschiedenen Farben oder dekorativen Aufdrucken auf Vorrat zu halten, so dass z.B. in Anpassung an die Bekleidung ein zu ihr in geschmacklicher Hinsicht passsendes Armband angelegt werden kann, in dessen Durchbruch sich der Uhrenkorpus leicht einsetzen lässt.The bracelet can be cut or punched out in the desired shape in a simple manner from a plastic film of appropriate thickness such that the watch case can then be fixed in a suitable manner by clipping or snapping into its opening. This can be advantageously accomplished without arranging additional aids to be attached to the watch case, provided the case is designed accordingly. The invention offers the possibility of keeping bracelets in different colors or decorative prints in stock, so that e.g. in order to adapt to the clothing, a bracelet that matches its taste can be put on, in the breakthrough of which the watch body can be easily inserted.

Des weiteren lässt sich das Armband vorteilhaft auch als Werbeträger verwenden, indem es aus durchsichtiger Kunststoffolie hergestellt ist und auf seiner Rückseite beispielsweise einen entsprechend werbewirksamen Aufdruck erhält. In diesem Falle eignet sich die erfindungsgemässe Armbanduhr im besonderen als spezielles Werbegeschenk.Furthermore, the bracelet can also advantageously be used as an advertising medium in that it is made of transparent plastic film and has, for example, a correspondingly effective print on the back. In this case, the wristwatch according to the invention is particularly suitable as a special giveaway.

Eine Möglichkeit der gegenseitigen Verbindung von Armband und Uhrengehäuse bzw. für dessen Austausch mit einem anderen Armband bietet sich dadurch, dass das Armband bzw. dessen den Durchbruch aufweisender Bandabschnitt zumindest in Bandlängsrichtung elastisch verformbar ist, um das Uhrengehäuse mit dem Randteil des Durchbruches in lösbaren Eingriff bringen zu können, oder dadurch, dass das Uhrengehäuse mit an den Gehäuseumfang angeformten Radialvorsprüngen den Rand des Durchbruchs zumindest abschnittweise an beiden Seiten des Armbandes übergreift.One possibility for the mutual connection of the bracelet and watch case or for its exchange with another bracelet is that the bracelet or whose band section having the opening is elastically deformable at least in the longitudinal direction of the band in order to be able to bring the watch housing into releasable engagement with the edge part of the opening, or in that the watch housing with radial projections molded onto the housing circumference at least partially on both sides of the bracelet spreads.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist hierzu der Durchbruch kreisförmig ausgebildet und das Uhrengehäuse mit einer Umfangsnut ausgestattet, die mit dem Durchbruch im wesentlichen in formschlüssigen Eingriff bringbar ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the opening is circular and the watch case is equipped with a circumferential groove which can be brought into positive engagement with the opening.

Zwecks eines problemlosen Austauschs des Armbandes ist es weiter vorteilhaft, wenn in den Rand des Durchbruchs Radialeinschnitte eingebracht sind, die Segmentabschnitte bilden, die sich bei einer axialen Verlagerung des Uhrengehäuses relativ zum Armband in der entsprechenden Richtung zum Aussereingriffbringen mit der Gehäuseumfangsnut auslenken lassen.For a problem-free exchange of the bracelet, it is further advantageous if radial incisions are made in the edge of the opening, which form segment sections which can be deflected in the corresponding direction to disengage the housing circumferential groove when the watch case is axially displaced relative to the bracelet.

Hierbei bietet es sich an, diese Radialeinschnitte zugleich als Stundeneinteilung zu nutzen, so dass auf den Aufdruck einer entsprechenden Skala auf dem Ziffernblatt der Uhr verzichtet werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Länge der Radialeinschnitte grösser als der vom Uhrengehäuse überdeckte Randteil des Durchbruches gehalten.It makes sense to use these radial incisions as hourly divisions, so that there is no need to print a corresponding scale on the clock face. For this purpose, the length of the radial incisions is greater than the edge part of the opening covered by the watch case.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 10 - 12.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of claims 10-12.

Das einteilige Armband der gezeigten Armbanduhr ist als Ganzes mit 10 bezeichnet. Es ist aus einer flexiblen Kunststoffolie ausgeschnitten und trägt an seinem einen Bandende eine vorzugsweise durch Anschweissen befestigte Bandschnalle 12, deren Schnallendorn 14 im Bereich des anderen Bandendes eine Lochreihe 16 zugeordnet ist. Die Kunststoffolie für das Armband 10 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem weichen, äusserst flexiblen Kunststoff.The one-piece bracelet of the watch shown is designated as a whole by 10. It is cut out of a flexible plastic film and carries at one end of a band a band buckle 12, preferably fastened by welding, the buckle pin 14 of which is assigned a row of holes 16 in the area of the other band end. The plastic film for the bracelet 10 is preferably made of a soft, extremely flexible plastic.

Mit 18 ist als Ganzes ein Uhrenkorpus bezeichnet, der durch Einklipsen bzw. Einrasten im Armband 10 formschlüssig und lösbar befestigbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist im mittleren Armbandbereich ein Durchbruch 20 vorgesehen, in welchen das Uhrengehäuse 22 einklips- bzw. einrastbar ist.A watch case is designated as a whole by 18, which can be fastened in a form-fitting and detachable manner by clipping or snapping it into the bracelet 10. For this purpose, an opening 20 is provided in the central bracelet area, in which the watch case 22 can be clipped or snapped into place.

Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist hierzu das Uhrengehäuse 22 mit einem vorzugsweise rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildeten Gehäuseteil 24 ausgestattet, dessen Durchmesser vorzugsweise grösser als die Breite des Armbandes 10 gewählt ist. Demgemäss ist der Durchbruch 20 zylindrisch ausgebildet, wobei der mittlere Bandbereich an beiden Längsseiten des Armbandes 10 zum Durchbruch 20 konzentrische, segmentförmige Verbreiterungen 26 und 28 aufweist.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the watch case 22 is equipped with a preferably rotationally symmetrical housing part 24, the diameter of which is preferably selected to be greater than the width of the bracelet 10. Accordingly, the opening 20 is cylindrical, the central band region on both long sides of the bracelet 10 having concentric, segment-shaped widenings 26 and 28 to the opening 20.

Zur formschlüssigen Verbindung von Armband 10 und Uhrenkorpus 18 ist dessen Gehäuseteil 24 mit einer Umfangsnut 30 ausgestattet, durch die zwei Gehäuseflansche 32 und 34 gebildet sind, die im Durchmesser vorzugsweise unterschiedlich gross sind.For the form-fitting connection of the bracelet 10 and watch body 18, its housing part 24 is equipped with a circumferential groove 30 through which two housing flanges 32 and 34 are formed, which are preferably of different sizes in diameter.

Die ebene Aussenseite des grösseren Gehäuseflansches 34 bildet die Rückseite des Uhrengehäuses 22, während der kleinere Gehäuseflansch 32 ein Ziffernblatt 36 ohne Stundeneinteilung trägt. Zur Komplettierung der Armbanduhr ist der Gehäuseteil 24 abschliessend in den zylindrischen Armbanddurchbruch 20 einzuführen.The flat outside of the larger housing flange 34 forms the back of the watch housing 22, while the smaller housing flange 32 carries a dial 36 without hour division. To complete the wristwatch, the housing part 24 must be finally inserted into the cylindrical bracelet opening 20.

Der Durchmesser des Durchbruches 20 entspricht im wesentlichen dem Durchmesser des den Nutboden der Umfangsnut 30 bildenden Uhrengehäuses. In eingeklipstem bzw. verrastetem Zustand übergreifen demgemäss die beiden Gehäuseflansche 32 und 34 jeweils eine der Flachseiten des Armbandes 10, wobei Nutbreite und Banddicke derart aufeinander abgestimmt sind, dass im wesentlichen ein Formschluss der sich miteinander in Eingriff befindlichen Teile erzielt wird.The diameter of the opening 20 corresponds essentially to the diameter of the groove bottom of the circumferential groove 30 forming watch case. In the clipped or locked state, the two housing flanges 32 and 34 each overlap one of the flat sides of the bracelet 10, the groove width and band thickness being coordinated with one another in such a way that essentially a positive fit of the parts in engagement with one another is achieved.

Um einen problemlosen Austausch von Armbändern zu ermöglichen, ohne Notwendigkeit, hierzu den mittleren Abschnitt des aus vorzugsweise elastischem Kunststoffmaterial bestehenden Armbandes 10 gegebenenfalls überdehnen zu müssen, sind vorzugsweise in die Innenumfangsfläche 38 des Durchbruches 20, insbesondere in gleichem Winkelabstand voneinander, Radialeinschnitte 40 eingebracht, durch die segmentförmige Lappen 42 gebildet sind, die sich beim Ein- bzw. Ausklipsen des Uhrenkorpus 18 relativ zu dem sie umgebenden Bandmaterial entsprechend auslenken lassen und sich stets wieder selbsttätig in ihre Sicherungslage zurückstellen.In order to enable a problem-free exchange of bracelets without the need, if necessary, to overstretch the middle section of the bracelet 10, which is preferably made of elastic plastic material, radial incisions 40 are preferably made in the inner peripheral surface 38 of the opening 20, in particular at the same angular distance from one another the segment-shaped tabs 42 are formed which, when the watch body 18 is clipped in or clipped out, can be deflected correspondingly relative to the band material surrounding them and always return automatically to their securing position.

Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorzugsweise das gesamte Uhrengehäuse 22 rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet, wobei die Radialeinschnitte 40 des Armbanddurchbruches 20 in einer solchen Anzahl und Länge vorgesehen sind, dass sie zugleich die Stundeneinteilung bilden und hierzu entsprechend weit über den Gehäuseflansch 32 radial vorstehen. Somit kann auf eine entsprechende Skalierung des Ziffernblattes 36 verzichtet werden.In the present exemplary embodiment, the entire watch case 22 is preferably designed to be rotationally symmetrical, the radial incisions 40 of the bracelet opening 20 being provided in such a number and length that they also form the hour division and accordingly protrude radially far beyond the case flange 32. A corresponding scaling of the dial 36 can thus be dispensed with.

Bei der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist zur Halterung des Uhrenkorpus 18 in den Durchbruch 20 des Armbandes 10 ein aus entsprechend elastischem Kunststoff gespritzter Haltering 44 vorzugsweise durch Einschweissen befestigt. Dessen axiale Länge ist wesentlich grösser, vorzugsweise mehr als doppelt so gross als die Dicke des Armbandes 10.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 is for holding the watch body 18 in the opening 20 of the bracelet 10, a retaining ring 44 molded from a correspondingly elastic plastic is fastened, preferably by welding. Its axial length is considerably greater, preferably more than twice as large as the thickness of the bracelet 10.

Die Anordnung des Halteringes 44 im Armbanddurchbruch 20 ist vorzugsweise derart getroffen, dass der Haltering 44 an beiden Bandflachseiten übersteht. Mit 46 ist ein Ringinnenflansch bezeichnet, der mit einer Umfangsnut des Gehäuseteils 24 in lösbarem Eingriff steht. Alternativ zum Ringinnenflansch 46 können auch zwei einander diametral zugeordnete innere Vorsprünge in den Haltering 44 angeformt sein, die in diesem zugeordnete Umfangsvertiefungen des Gehäuseteils 24 eingreifen.The arrangement of the retaining ring 44 in the bracelet opening 20 is preferably made such that the retaining ring 44 protrudes on both flat sides of the band. With 46 an inner ring flange is designated, which is in releasable engagement with a circumferential groove of the housing part 24. As an alternative to the inner ring flange 46, two diametrically associated inner projections can also be formed in the retaining ring 44, which engage in the circumferential recesses of the housing part 24 which are assigned to this.

Der Haltering 44 umfasst den zylindrischen Gehäuseteil 24 über eine verhältnismässig grosse Länge und sorgt so für eine stabile Anordnung des Uhrenkorpus 18 im Armband 10.The retaining ring 44 encompasses the cylindrical housing part 24 over a relatively large length and thus ensures a stable arrangement of the watch body 18 in the bracelet 10.

Die Bauart gemäss Fig. 4 zeichnet sich durch besondere Einfachheit aus, indem sowohl der Armbanddurchbruch 20 als auch der in diesen einzusteckende Gehäuseteil 24 zylindrisch ausgeführt sind. Der Uhrenkorpus 18 weist somit lediglich noch einen Gehäuseaussenflansch 34 auf, der bei angelegter Armbanduhr zwischen die Unterseite des Armbandes 10 und den Arm zu liegen kommt und somit den Uhrenkorpus 18 im Armband 10 sichert.The design according to FIG. 4 is characterized by particular simplicity in that both the bracelet opening 20 and the housing part 24 to be inserted into it are cylindrical. The watch body 18 thus only has a housing outer flange 34, which comes to rest between the underside of the bracelet 10 and the arm when the wristwatch is in place, and thus secures the watch body 18 in the bracelet 10.

Die Durchmesser von Armbanddurchbruch 20 und Gehäuseteil 24 sind dabei vorzugsweise derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass zwischen beiden Teilen eine relativ grosse Radialspannung und somit Sicherheit gegen ein Herauslösen gegeben ist.The diameter of the bracelet opening 20 and the housing part 24 are preferably matched to one another in such a way that There is a relatively large radial tension between the two parts and thus security against detachment.
