Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet provided with a clasp with folding blades, arranged between two ends of the bracelet, to form with it an endless link whose length may vary between two dimensions, one in which said folding blades are folded, the other in which they are deployed, comprising a control link provided with two axes of articulation parallel and transverse to said link, these two axes of articulation being respectively associated with two elements said link to allow, by pivoting said adjustment link around one of said axes, to interchange the respective positions of these two axes of articulation relative to each other along said link and thus to define two determined lengths of this link.
  • This adjustment device is intended to allow the user to have for each length of the strap set by the conventional adjustment means, a determined additional length having a small fixed gap with the length initially set, to allow to pass easily, without skill or particular tool, from one to the other length of bracelet.
  • the difference between these two lengths is chosen to take into account the differences in the circumference of the wrist according to the ambient heat and / or the efforts that the wearer of the bracelet makes with his arm and which result in swelling of the wrist.
  • it is possible to easily move from one to the other determined lengths, depending on whether the bracelet tightens the wrist or, on the contrary, does not fit sufficiently around the wrist. This is important, particularly but not exclusively, for a watch bracelet.
  • a device of this type arranged in a clasp with folding clasp, has already been described in CH-A5-663 522.
  • the purpose of such a device is to allow to confer two different determined lengths to the bracelet. and thus to allow the user to choose between these two lengths, simply by pivoting the adjustment link between its two positions; this pivoting from the longest adjustment position to the shortest, being obtained by simply pushing on one of the clasp blades.
  • This device however, has two major disadvantages, one from the practical point of view, the other from the aesthetic point of view, which therefore robs him of much of his interest.
  • the first of these disadvantages lies in the fact that when the adjustment link is tilted to its position corresponding to the shortest adjustable length, it is maintained in this position only by closing the clasp. As soon as the clasp is green, it returns to the other position, so that when the user puts the bracelet back on, he must make sure that the adjustment link is tilted to the desired position and pay attention that it does not do not change while closing the clasp.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet provided with a clasp with folding blades, of the type mentioned above, according to claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bracelet portion provided with this embodiment of the adjustment device.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view along the line II-II of FIG.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are sectional views similar to that of Figure 2, in two other positions of the adjustment device.
  • Figure 5 is a partial perspective view of a variant of the adjustment device in the long adjustment position.
  • Figure 6 is a partial perspective view of another variant of this device in short adjustment position.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are partial perspective views, similar to Figures 5 and 6 respectively, two other variants of this adjustment device.
  • the first embodiment of the adjustment device object of the present invention comprises a metal bracelet 1, partially shown, two ends 1a, 1b, are attached to a clasp 2 folding blades , comprising two blades 2a, 2b, articulated to one another about an axis 3.
  • a clasp 2 folding blades comprising two blades 2a, 2b, articulated to one another about an axis 3.
  • One of these blades, 2a is articulated at the end of the bracelet, while the other end 1b of this bracelet, is articulated to a third blade clasp 2c provided with two parallel side walls 2c 1 , 2c 2 , forming a cover under which the blades 2a, 2b, fold.
  • the two parallel side walls 2c 1 , 2c 2 , of this cover 2c comprise two series of respective perforations 4 which face each other in pairs, intended to receive a pivot axis 5, called bar, for fixing the other end 1b of the bracelet and constituting the usual first adjustment means and known from the length of the bracelet.
  • a link 6 is pivotally mounted about the axis 5 of the bar fixed in two perforations 4 of the side walls 2c 1 , 2c 2 of the cover 2c which face each other.
  • This link 6 is the link for adjusting the length of the bracelet.
  • this adjustment link 6 (FIGS. 2 to 4) comprises a second articulation axis 7 to which is articulated an end of a second link 8, the other end of which is articulated to the rest of the end 1b of the 9 as seen in particular in FIG.
  • this link 8 has a curved blade 8a which is tangential to a portion of cylindrical section 8b coaxial with the hinge axis 7 at one end, while at its other end, this curved blade 8a is folded to form, with the cylindrical section portion 8b and the blade 8a, a wall 8d, providing a housing 8c for receiving the adjusting link 6, as illustrated by the FIG. 2.
  • This wall 8d has an S-shaped profile thus forming a narrowing at the inlet of the housing 8c, the dimension of which is calculated to be slightly smaller than the corresponding dimension of the portion of the adjusting link 6 which must be engage in the logem 8c, as seen in particular in Figure 3.
  • This wall 8d therefore serves as a hooking means for the adjusting link 6 when it is engaged elastically in the housing 8c.
  • the adjustment device makes it possible to choose between two determined bracelet lengths.
  • the transition from one position to another is obtained only voluntarily by a simple manipulation, not requiring any particular skill of the user. Once in a position, there is no risk that the length changes unintentionally.
  • the set length is maintained as long as the user has not decided otherwise.
  • the clasp can be opened and closed without the setting being changed. It may also be noted that in one or other of the adjustment positions, the height of the clasp remains substantially unchanged, so that this device does not detract from the aesthetic appearance.
  • the clasp has not been shown since it is not modified.
  • the adjustment link 6 is also identical to that of FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the modifications therefore essentially concern the link 8 hinged about the axis 7 of the adjustment link 6.
  • the part 1b of the actual bracelet connected to the axis of articulation 9 of the link 8 can be any.
  • articulated link metal bracelets there are shown articulated link metal bracelets.
  • it may be a watch strap as well as any other bracelet provided with a clasp of the type with folding blades or of a comparable type, in general of any bracelet forming with its clasp an endless link.
  • the wall 8d of the housing 8'c of the link 8 serving as hooking means of the adjusting link 6 is constituted by an insert 8'd, welded to the link 8 '.
  • This variant allows this piece 8'd constituting the elastic attachment means specifically for this purpose to obtain the desired elastic force independently of the link 8 '.
  • this element 8'd can have another thickness, or even be a different material than the link 8 '.
  • FIG. 6 which illustrates the adjustment device in the other adjustment position, differs from that of FIG. 5 only in that the slats 8 "d forming the fastening means are cut in the link 8 "itself and does not consist of a patch.
  • the link 8 * is in two parts hinged to each other around an axis 10.
  • the attachment element of the adjusting link 6 is then directly constituted by the two parts 8 * d of this link 8 * surrounding the axis 10 around which they are articulated.
  • the elasticity of the attachment means 8 * d is only conferred by the bent portion 8 * a of the link 8 *.
  • FIGs 7 and 8 there are shown two different bracelets, always metal articulated links but, as already mentioned, the invention is not limited to a particular type of bracelet.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 also have all the advantages mentioned in connection with the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4.
