Definitions

  • the folding clasp constituting the clasp of this document contains first and second blades hinged to each other by one of their ends and connected by their other end to first and second strands of the bracelet.
  • the cited request shows, at the end of the first blade, a loop in which penetrates a first strand of the bracelet, and the end of the second blade, a hinged cover on the latter, this cover being equipped with a bar around which the second strand is wound to length fixed.
  • the underside of the cover is provided with a drilled projection to receive an axis on which is articulated the second blade. So in this execution, the second blade is entirely located under the cover, the latter increasing the thickness of the clasp since it is located entirely above the second blade.
  • the document GB 347 968 describes a clasp with folding clasp, particularly for a belt such as defined by the characteristics of the preamble of the claim 1.
  • the second strand of the belt is not attached to the cover but goes through a longitudinal passage provided in the cover and is pinched in the latter via the protruding part of a clasp blade in the closed position of this latest.
  • this has the disadvantage of damage the end of the second strand by folding and pinching between the cover and the protruding part, and on the other hand, to expose the part of the upper face of the second strand extending through the opening of the cover to wear.
  • the present invention proposes to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a clasp to folding clasp which also includes characteristics defined by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • this invention is remarkable in that the cover 19 has an opening 21 in which is likely to penetrate a protruding portion 8 presented by the other end 25 of the second blade 3.
  • the upper face 26 of the portion projection 8 of the second blade 3 is located substantially at same level as the upper face 27 of the cover 19 when the clasp is in the closed position. So, thanks to the fact that the cover 19 is open, the part protruding 8 of the second blade 3 can penetrate there which decreases the total thickness of the clasp when it is in the closed position.
  • the first blade 4 is formed a kind of stretcher comprising two beams 5 and 6 terminated by hinges receiving the bar 9. In the empty space between these spars is housed a part 7 of the second blade 3 when the clasp is in closed position.
  • the stretchers 5 and 6 of the first blade 4 are followed by a portion 12 forming the other end of the first blade.
  • the portion 12 presents a first pass 15 into which the first strand 1 enters of the bracelet.
  • Strand 1, provided with perforations 16, comes place under the first blade after its passage in the passing 15.
  • a first tab 14 To attach the first strand 1 to the first blade 4, in a region preceding the entry of the strand in the first loop, a first tab 14, this tab thus penetrating into one of the perforations 16 of the strand 1.
  • the notching mode of the first blade 4 on the second 3 is made of the next way.
  • a second tab 17 is lifted on the first blade 4 as it appears on all figures.
  • a bent portion 23 which comes to bear on the second tongue 17 of the first blade 4 ( Figure 3) when the clasp is in the closed position.
  • the bent portion 23 fills two functions: that of serving as a notching of the blades one on the other and the junction between portions 7 and 8 of the second blade 3, the projecting portion 8 allowing, as already explained, to decrease the thickness of the clasp.
  • Figures 2 and 3 also show that the end 11 of the protruding portion 8 is rolled up to form the second articulation 10 attaching the second blade 3 to the cover 19.
  • the same figures also show that the second strand 2 is attached to the cover 19 by means of a third joint 18.
  • This joint is produced in known manner by means of a bar housed in holes made in the wings of the cover 19, this bar crossing the end of the second strand 2.
  • the cover 19 has a raised portion 20 under which one can slide a nail.
  • the clasp the invention can be advantageously used on a watch strap, in leather or plastic.
