Definitions
- Bracelet with articulated links and watch fitted with such a bracelet.
- the present invention relates to a strap, in particular a watch strap according to the preamble of claim 1 More specifically, the present invention relates to a watch strap with articulated links. The present invention also relates to a watch provided with such a bracelet.
- the straps made up of several rows of articulated metal links are particularly solid and their aesthetics are well suited to sports watches for example.
- An object of the invention is to improve the ergonomics and the comfort of this type of bracelet
- the bracelet comprises abutment members limiting the pivoting angle of the links. This prevents any pinching of skin or hair between the links when the angle of curvature of the bracelet becomes very small.
- Patent CH-A5-66V184 describes a bracelet comprising stop members to limit the pivoting angle of the links.
- the solution described is however limited to bracelets provided with a single row of links.
- this bracelet is complicated. to manufacture
- the bracelet described in patent CH-482421 also has only one row of links.
- the opening of the bracelet is limited by stops formed by contact lines on the upper face of the bracelet
- the stop members prevent any direct contact between links. This is avoided wear caused by friction on lines or contact surfaces between links. This characteristic is particularly advantageous for bracelets covered with a precious metal plating tending to be damaged if the links come into direct contact.
- the successive links of at least one row are separated by interstices. These gaps remain regardless of the curvature given to the bracelet.
- the width of these interstices can be perfectly controlled thanks to the stop members. This interstice is sufficient to prevent pinching of skin or hair and improves the ventilation of the skin and the evacuation of perspiration between the links of the bracelet. This characteristic also makes it possible to obtain more aesthetic bracelets.
- the successive links inside each row are separated by interstices
- the curvature of the bracelet can be perfectly controlled thanks to the abutment members, it is thus possible to obtain a curvature between successive links, for example regular and therefore a particularly aesthetic bracelet
- the abutment members are preferably little or not visible from the outside of the bracelet, and abut against a portion of the links distinct from the main faces, for example against the inside of an opening through the links. In this way, contact and wear between links takes place only in places that are barely visible or invisible
- At least certain links can be easily removed or added in order to adjust the length of the bracelet according to the wrist of the user.
- the links can preferably be removed without disassembly of the member. corresponding stop
- the bracelet is of simple and economical construction, has a limited number of separate parts and allows easy assembly.
- FIG. 1 a perspective view of a first variant of a bracelet comprising stop members in the form of tongues secured to the links of the first row,
- FIG. 2 a side view of the bracelet according to the first variant, illustrating in superposition two extreme positions of the links of the first row,
- Figure 3 a perspective view of a second variant of bracelet comprising stop members in the form of pins secured to the links of the second row and abutting against the interior of a larger opening formed through the links of the first row,
- FIG. 4 a perspective view of a third preferred variant of the bracelet comprising stop members in the form of pins secured to the links of the second row and abutting against the interior of a recess in the front wall of the links from the first row,
- Figure 5 a side view of bracelet according to the third variant illustrating in superposition two extreme positions of the links of the first row.
- the bracelet segment shown by way of example in FIG. 1 has three rows of metal links.
- the central row (“first row") is constituted by the successive links 1, l ', etc.
- Each of the other two lateral rows is formed by symmetrical links 2, 2 ', 2 ", etc.
- all the links have substantially the same length and the same thickness.
- the links of the central row are however offset by about half a link length compared to the links in the other two rows, but the links could have varying lengths and thicknesses, and the offset between rows could be different.
- the links have a substantially planar or convex upper face.
- the lower face, close to the skin, is substantially parallel to the upper face.
- the two side faces are approximately flat and parallel.
- the front face is only roughly flat and is provided with a recess 16. In the same way, the rear face is provided with a stop member 15.
- Aesthetic considerations can naturally impose different and extremely varied link shapes.
- the various faces of the links, particularly the upper face, can be curved rather than flat.
- the different links could also have a very rounded shape in the shape of a bean grain for example.
- Each link in the first row for example the link l ', can pivot relative to the previous link 1 around a first pin or pivot 3.
- the pin 3 is adjusted in openings 21 formed in two adjacent links 2 of the second row If the links l 'or 2' must be removable, in order to adjust the length of the bracelet, the opening 21 crosses the links 2 'so that the pin 3 can be removed and the links removed If at on the contrary, the links 1 and 2 'do not need to be removable, preferably openings 21 will be chosen which do not completely pass through the links 2' and thus make it possible to conceal the two ends of the pins 3
- each link l ′ of the central row can pivot relative to the following link 1 "around a second pin 3 ′ fitted into openings 21 formed in two adjacent links 2" of the second row II is not necessary that the second pin 3 'be removable the links can be removed in groups of three by removing only the first pin 3
- each link in the first row 1, 1 ', etc. is provided with a stop member in the form of a tongue 15 which is inserted into the corresponding recess 16 of the preceding pivoting link. It is of course also possible to reverse the arrangement of the tongue 15 and of the recess 16. The shape of the tongues 15 is provided so that the links fit together without difficulty. These stop members 15 make it possible to limit the pivot angle of the links 1 'of the first row around the pins 3 and 3'.
- FIG. 2 provides a better understanding of the action of the stop members 15. It illustrates in superposition two extreme positions adopted by the links of the first row. It can be seen that, in the upper position shown, when the radius of curvature of the bracelet at this location is maximum, the contact between the link 1 and the next link 1 'is essentially between the lower part of the stop member 15 and the lower part of the corresponding recess 16 Similarly, in the lower position shown, when the radius of curvature of the bracelet at this location is minimal, the contact between the link 1 and the next link 1 'is essentially between the upper part of the stop member 15 and the upper part of the corresponding recess 16.
- the main faces of two successive links never come into contact, and there is always a gap 17 between the lower faces of the links.
- the only contact surface between two successive links 1, l is relegated far from the faces, in the recess 16, where the risk of pinching is minimal and where wear is less detrimental to the aesthetics of the bracelet
- stop members 15 also limit the pivot angle of the links of the other lateral rows 2, 2 ′, etc.
- tongues 15 and corresponding recesses 16 can be imagined.
- the recess 16 could be less closed than in FIGS. 1 and 2, in order to relegate the contact surface even further from the main faces.
- Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of a second variant bracelet according to the invention. Elements identical or similar to those of the first variant described above bear the same numbering and their description will not be repeated HERE
- the abutment members limiting the pivoting angle of the pivoting links 1, 1 ', etc. are constituted by pins 4, 4 ′ secured to the links of the other lateral rows 2, 2 ′, etc. These pins pass through holes 13 through the links 1, 1 ', etc of the first row.
- the diameter of the holes 13 is greater than the diameter of the active portion of the corresponding pins 4, 4 '
- the central links 1, 1', etc. can pivot around the pins 3 and 3 ', the pivot angle being however limited by the limited travel of the pins 4 4 'in the openings 13
- this second variant has the advantage of machining the links clearly facilitates the pivoting angle of the links 1, 1 ′, etc can be easily controlled by adapting the diameter and / or the location of the openings 13 and / or the pins 4, 4 '
- This solution allows for example to vary the maximum pivot angles along the bracelet, some links can be assembled almost rigidly with openings 13 of small diameter, while other links can be assembled loosely with openings 13 of large diameter, giving greater clearance to the pins 4, 4 '
- it is possible to subsequently varying the maximum or minimum radius of curvature of a bracelet by replacing links with others provided with openings 13 of different diameter rent, or by using pins 4, 4 'of different diameter, or by using links provided with openings 20, 13 placed differently.
- the curvature and shape of the bracelet can therefore be adapted to the user's wrist without changing the number of links
- the different links can only be made removable if the hinge pins 3 'as well as the stop pins 4' can be removed. When these two pins are removed, the assembly between the links 2 ', 1' and 2 'and the respective previous links 2, 1, 2 is undone. Pins 3 and 4 should only be removed if it is necessary to dismantle the links 2 ', V, 2' individually, which is generally not necessary It is therefore necessary to provide at least two through holes 20, 21 through the side links 2, 2 ', etc., which is relatively unsightly and complicates the assembly and disassembly of the bracelet
- FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a third variant of an advantageous bracelet on this point
- the elements identical or similar to those of the variants described above have the same numbering and their description will not be repeated here
- the abutment members limiting the pivoting angle of the links 1, 1 ′, etc. are constituted by pins 4, 4 ′ secured to the links of the other rows 2, 2 ′, etc.
- these pins here pass through recesses 10 machined in the front wall before the links 1, 1 ', etc.
- the height of the recesses 10 is greater than the diameter of the active portion of the corresponding pins 4, 4' in the recess.
- the recesses 10 can for example have a rectangular profile and can be easily obtained for example by milling.
- the links 1, 1 ′, etc. of the first row can pivot around the pins 3 and 3 ′, the pivot angle being however limited by the limited travel of pins 4, 4 'in the recesses 10
- FIG. 5 makes it possible to better understand the action of the stop members 4, 4 ′ in the recesses 10. It illustrates in superposition two extreme positions adopted by the links of the first row It can be seen that, in the upper position shown, when the radius of curvature of the bracelet at this location is maximum, the articulation between the link 1 and the next link 1 'is limited only by the contact between the lower part of the pin 4' and the lower part of the corresponding recess 10. Similarly, in the lower position shown, when the radius of curvature of the bracelet at this location is minimal, the articulation between the link 1 and the next link 1 'is limited only by the contact between the part upper part of the pin 4 'and the upper part of the corresponding recess 10. The different faces of different links never come into contact. The only stop zone limiting the articulation of the links is relegated to the bottom of the recess 10, where the risk of pinching is less and where wear is the least detrimental to the aesthetics of the bracelet.
- this solution makes it possible to remove or add links without removing the pins 4, 4 '.
- the pivoting of the links is limited in both directions, both in the case of an increase and a reduction in the radius of curvature of the bracelet.
- by playing on the arrangement of the organs of bu- tee and corresponding openings it is possible to forgo limiting the reduction in the radius of curvature of the bracelet
- two separate abutment members 4 and 4 ′ are provided to limit the pivoting of a link with respect to the previous link and with respect to the next link in the same row
- a single stop 4 or 4 ′ limiting only the pivoting relative to the preceding link or relative to the following link, may prove to be sufficient.
- stop pins 4, 4 ′ pass completely through the central links. It is however possible to use stops integral with the peripheral links 2, 2 ', etc. which would not completely pass through the holes 13 or the recesses 10 through the central links 1, 1 ", etc. For example, it is possible to replace each pin 4, 4 'with two portions of pins. The first portion of pin is in this case secured to a side link 2, 2 ', etc. and the second pin portion is secured to the corresponding link on the other lateral row The holes or recesses 10, 13, then do not need to be through
- the links of the bracelet will not necessarily have the shape illustrated in the figures
- the links close to the horns of the watch or of the clasp will be specially adapted
