Definitions
- the present invention relates to a strip of quick fastening of a watch strap and more particularly such a bar for fixing a bracelet with horns or attachments from a box of shows, this fixing device allowing in particular to easily interchange the bracelet without risking damage the case and / or the bracelet.
- the present invention also relates to a watch fitted with a bar as defined above.
- watch straps are attached to watch boxes with horns by means of bars on which are the strands of the bracelet, the ends of the bars being fixed to the horns of the watch case.
- the most used bars commonly are called spring bars and include their ends two pivots.
- the pivots are movable inside a central tube and are subjected to the action of a spring housed inside the tube and pushes them outwards, the horns being respectively provided with holes into which the bar pivots.
- Such a system for attaching the bracelet to the box has the disadvantage of generally requiring the intervention of a specialist to disassemble the bracelet when the latter must be replaced by another.
- this disassembly operation is carried out using a tool, such as tweezers or a knife, which risk of injuring the watch case.
- This system is not therefore not very satisfactory and does not respond to current market demands for devices bracelet attachment allowing users themselves easily replace their bracelet with another. It is for example useful to be able to transform a watch in a diving watch worn over a combination, and for which it is therefore necessary to adapt a longer bracelet bought as accessory. We can also wish at any time to the day adapt the type of your wristwatch to suit circumstances and therefore be able to easily yourself change the bracelet, for example to have a bracelet match the color of his clothes.
- the main aim of the invention is therefore to remedy the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art in providing a quick fastening bar for a bracelet watch, safe and inexpensive, which can be set up works easily by the user himself, who adapts to any type of bracelet that does not harm the aesthetics of the entire watch.
- the invention relates to a bar of attachment of a watch strap intended to be used for sliding in a passage of a watch case and mounted in one end of a bracelet, said bar comprising a slender body and being characterized in that it comprises a device for locking, said locking device comprising a lock subjected to the action of an elastic member and means for controlling said lock which are accessible from one end of the bar, said lock being arranged to project transversely into said audit body outside said body of said bar, in a first position in which the control means do not are not actuated, and to retract inside said body, in a second position when the means of control are activated.
- the user can easily disassemble or reassemble its strap with bar fixing on a box watch, for example with a view to changing it, simply acting on the control means for release the lock of additional means provided on the box, and laterally remove the bar with a simple sliding movement parallel to its axis longitudinal.
- This operation has the advantage important to be able to be carried out without recourse to a specialist and without any tools.
- control means include a control rod sliding rise relatively to said body, a first end of the control rod being associated with actuating means and a second end being associated with said lock, said elastic member acting directly on said control rod.
- said lock is formed by an elongated element comprising a hooking part which projects out of said body elongated in said first position, and said element elongated is articulated with respect to the control rod.
- the invention also relates to a watch comprising a bar as defined above.
- FIG. 1 we see a view partial of a wristwatch partially shown in section and designated by the general reference 1.
- the wristwatch 1 has a watch case 2 to which is hingedly attached to one end of a bracelet 4 using a fixing bar 6.
- bracelet in this context includes all types bracelet that can be attached to the box using bars to keep the watch in position on the wrist of a user and includes not only the leather or plastic bracelets, but also metal bracelets, for example with links.
- the box 2 conventionally comprises a middle part fitted with two pairs of strap fixing lugs 4 and of which only the horns 8 and 10 of a pair are shown in the drawing.
- the two pairs of horns are conventionally placed on opposite sides of the middle, 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock.
- horns we will understand in the context of the invention any element of various forms, serving to attach the strap to the watch case. These horns can match the general shape of the middle, but not necessarily. Note that the attachment elements are attaching little or no to the middle, or even reported on the box, are also included in this definition general horns.
- the end of bracelet 4 shown in lines mixed, is associated with the fixing bar 6 using from which it is fixed to the horns 8 and 10.
- the bar 6 is engaged on the one hand in a passage formed by two openings 12, 14 perpendicular to the direction longitudinal of the bracelet and arranged respectively in horns 8 and 10 and on the other hand in an eyelet 16 provided at the end of bracelet 4, the end of bracelet extending in the space separating the horns 8 and 10.
- the bar 6 comprises a body elongated 18 formed in the example represented by a tube closed at one end by a bottom 20.
- the tube 20 comprises a first part 22 having a first diameter followed by a second part 24 of a second diameter greater than the first and delimited by a shoulder 26.
- Part 22 extends substantially between the horns 8 and 10 and part 24 is extends in the opening 14 which has a corresponding shape.
- the bar 6 further comprises a device for locking it on the horns 8 and 10.
- This locking device comprises a lock 28 subjected to the action of an elastic member 30 and means 32 of the lock.
- Control means 32 include a control rod that extends inside of tube 22 and which is slidably mounted relative to this latest.
- the elastic member 30 acts on the latch 28 via the rod control 32, the elastic member 30 extending between the bottom 20 of tube 22 and one end 34 of rod 32.
- This elastic member 30 is formed by a helical spring which acts directly on the control rod 32 for the push back towards the outside of the tube 20. It will be noted at this about that the end 34 is provided with a centering pin (not referenced) of spring 30.
- the opposite end of the rod 32 projects the outside of the tube 22. This end is shaped as a push button 36 which forms actuation means rod 32.
- the rod control means are thus accessible from outside the tube.
- the end 34 is associated with the device for lock which is arranged so that the lock 28 makes protruding transversely to the longitudinal axis A-A of tube 22 and out of it in a first so-called working position, shown in the figure 1, when the control rod 32 is not actuated, and to retract completely inside the tube 22 in a second position called the withdrawal position, shown in Figure 2, when the control rod 30 is actuated by push button 28.
- the latch 28 is formed of an elongated element which is housed in a recess 38 formed in the rod 32 and in which it can retract completely.
- the latch 28 includes, at one free end (on the right in the figures), part hooking 40 connected, via a part median elongated 42, at a hinge part 44 located at its opposite end.
- the hooking part 40 projects through a oblong opening 46 made for this purpose in the tube 22, when the control rod 32 is in the working position.
- This attachment portion 40 is supported against means formed, in the example shown, by a walls 48 of the horns lying opposite, for longitudinally block the bar 6 in the passages 12 and 14 and secure the bracelet 4.
- the articulation part 44 extends in a first housing 50 provided at one end of the recess 38 and is articulated with respect to the rod 32 on a pin 52 integral with the tube 22.
- the pin 52 extends perpendicular to the axis A-A of the tube and crosses two oblong openings 54 (only one of which is visible on the drawing) arranged opposite one another of the walls lateral of the rod 32, these openings opening into the first housing 50 and extending parallel to the axis A-A.
- a shoulder 58 which extends between the first housing 50 and the second housing 56 is also provided for the latch 28, in particular the part attachment 40, or blocked by this shoulder when the latch 28 is in the working position ( Figure 1).
- the attachment portion 40 has a general polygonal convex shape in section longitudinal and comprising in particular a flat base 60 by which it rests on the shoulder 58 in the first position.
- This attachment part further comprises in its distal part a retaining face 62 which extends substantially perpendicular to the middle part 42 and which leans against the wall 48 under the effect of the spring 30 in the working position.
- Face 62 is extended by a sliding or cam face 64 which is inclined by relative to axis A-A.
- the face 64 forms with the axis A-A a angle ⁇ which is between 20 ° and 80 ° and so preferred of the order of 45 °.
- Face 64 allows lock 28 to be brought into the withdrawal position ( Figure 2) by sliding of this face 54 on a wall 66 of the second housing 56 when acting on the control rod 32 via the actuating means 38.
- This wall 66 includes a shape corresponding to that of the part distal of the attachment portion 40, namely a portion substantially perpendicular to the axis A-A and a portion tilted.
- the attachment part 40 present in its part proximal inferior, i.e. the most close to shoulder 58, another sliding face 68 or cam substantially parallel to face 64.
- This face 68 allows the lock 28, and more particularly to the part hook 40, to be brought into the second housing 56 (in the second position) by sliding this face 68 against the edge 70 of the shoulder 58 when acting on the rod 22. This makes it possible to completely retract the latch 28 in the recess 38.
- the face 68 also allows at the shoulder 58 to push back the hooking part 40 towards the outside of the tube 22 when the push button is released 38.
- the rod 32 moves relative to the latch 28 in the direction of arrow F while compressing spring 30 until the pin 52 comes into abutment against the end walls of the oblong openings 54.
- the displacement of the rod 32 relative to the lock 28 under the action of the push button allows the face 68 to come in contact with the edge 70 of the shoulder 58 and of slide on this edge towards the inside of the second housing 56 by rotation of the lock in the direction of arrow R.
- the retaining face 62 slides along the edge of opening 14 until cam 64 meets the inclined portion of the wall 66 which forces the portion hook 40 to fully penetrate the second housing 56.
- the hooking part 40 retracts completely inside the tube 22 and allows a lateral release of bar 6 from passages 12 and 14 to release the bracelet 4.
- the spring 30 recalls the rod command 32 in the direction of arrow B, causing the sliding of the edge 70 of the shoulder 58 on the face 68 until the hooking part 40 enters the opening 46 so that the retaining face 62 can come to rest against the interior wall 48 of the horn 10.
