Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Armband, insbesondere Uhrarmband, mit einem Bandendglied, das um eine Achse quer zur Längserstreckung des Armbandes schwenkbar mit einem weiteren Bauteil verbunden und in Längserstreckungsrichtung des Armbandes relativ zum weiteren Bauteil verstellbar ist, wobei das Bandendglied um eine etwa in der Bandebene sich quer zur Längserstreckung des Armbandes erstreckende Verstellachse schwenkbar an einem Schwenkelement angelenkt ist, das um eine zur Verstellachse parallele Schwenkachse um etwa 180° schwenkbar mit dem weiteren Bauteil verbunden ist, sowie Verstellachse und Schwenkachse sich etwa in Längserstreckung des Armbandes hintereinander angeordnet befinden.The invention relates to a bracelet, in particular a watch strap, with a Band end link, which is about an axis transverse to the longitudinal extent of the bracelet pivotally connected to another component and in the longitudinal direction the bracelet is adjustable relative to the other component, the band end link around an approximately in the band plane transversely to the longitudinal extent of the bracelet extending adjustment axis is pivotally articulated on a pivot element, that can be pivoted about 180 ° about a pivot axis parallel to the adjustment axis is connected to the other component, as well as the adjustment axis and swivel axis itself are arranged approximately one behind the other in the longitudinal extent of the bracelet.

Ein derartiges Armband ist aus der CH-A-663 522 bekannt.
Da bei diesem Armband das Schwenkelement immer frei schwenkbar ist, kann sich die Längeneinstellung unbeabsichtigt selbsttätig verstellen.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher ein Armband der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das einfach aufgebaut ist, eine geringe Baugröße aufweist und eine selbsttätige Verstellung der Länge vermeidet.Such a bracelet is known from CH-A-663 522.
Since the swivel element of this bracelet can always be swiveled freely, the length setting can inadvertently adjust itself automatically.
The object of the invention is therefore to provide a bracelet of the type mentioned, which is simple in construction, has a small size and avoids an automatic adjustment of the length.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in seinen Schwenkendpositionen das Schwenkelement arretierbar ist.This object is achieved in that in its pivoting end positions the swivel element can be locked.

Durch einfaches Umschwenken des Schwenkelements um 180° wird eine Längenanderung von dem zweifachen Abstand zwischen Verstellachse und Schwenkachse erreicht, was die Auslegung des Schwenkelements und damit der gesamten Längenverstelleinrichtung mit geringer Baugröße ermöglicht. Da das Schwenkelement selbst arretierbar ist, ist eine unbeabsichtigte Verschwenkung und damit Längenänderung verhindert.By simply swiveling the swivel element through 180 ° there is a change in length of twice the distance between the adjustment axis and swivel axis achieved what the design of the swivel element and thus the entire Length adjustment device with a small size enables. Because the swivel element lockable itself is an unintentional pivoting and thus Change in length prevented.

Das weitere Bauteil kann entweder ein Verschlußteil eines Verschlusses des Armbands oder ein Bandanschlußstück eines Uhrgehäuses sein.The further component can either be a closure part of a closure of the Bracelet or a band connector of a watch case.

Um sicher zu stellen, daß das Schwenkelement nicht unbeabsichtigt verschwenkt wird und somit eine ungewollte Langenänderung eintritt, kann das Schwenkelement in seinen Schwenkendpositionen durch eine Rast-einrichtung arretierbar sein.To ensure that the swivel element does not swivel unintentionally and thus an unwanted change in length occurs, the swivel element be locked in its pivoting end positions by a locking device.

Dazu weist in einfacher Ausbildung das Schwenkelement ein Rastelement auf, das mit federnder Vorspannung gegen das weitere Bauteil beaufschlagt ist und in den Schwenkendpositionen des Schwenkelements in eine Rastausnehmung des weiteren Bauteils einrastbar ist.For this purpose, in a simple embodiment, the pivoting element has a latching element which is loaded with resilient bias against the other component and in the End pivot positions of the swivel element in a latching recess further Component is clickable.

Sowohl gegen Beschädigungen geschützt als auch bei angelegtem Armband nicht sichtbar ist die Längeneinstellvorrichtung, wenn die axialen Endbereiche des Schwenkelements von Seitenteilen des weiteren Bauteils umgriffen sind und die Rastausnehmung in einem Seitenteil ausgebildet ist, wobei ein Rastelement an einem axialen Endbereich des Schwenkelements federnd abgestützt und gegen das die Rastausnehmungen aufweisende Seitenteil beaufschlagt ist. Protected against damage and not when the bracelet is on the length adjustment device is visible when the axial end regions of the Swivel elements are encompassed by side parts of the further component and the Locking recess is formed in a side part, with a locking element an axial end region of the swivel element is resiliently supported and against the side part having recesses is acted upon.

Dabei versteht es sich, wenn zu einer symmetrischen Belastung zu jedem Seitenelement hin ein Rastelement angeordnet ist.It goes without saying if there is a symmetrical load for everyone Side element a locking element is arranged.

Ein besonders einfacher Aufbau mit wenigen Bauteilen wird erreicht, wenn das Schwenkelement etwa U-förmig ausgebildet ist und das Bandendglied in die Öffnung des "U" hineinragt, wobei die Schwenkachse im Bereich der Basis des "U" und die Verstellachse im Bereich der freien Schenkel des "U" angeordnet ist.A particularly simple construction with few components is achieved if the pivot element is approximately U-shaped and the band end member protrudes into the opening of the "U", the pivot axis in the Area of the base of the "U" and the adjustment axis in the area of the free Leg of the "U" is arranged.

Weist das Bandendglied in seinem in die Öffnung des "U" hineinragenden Bereich eine Durchgangsbohrung auf, die koaxial zu durchgreifenden Rasterbohrungen in den freien Schenkeln des "U" ausgebildet ist, wobei in den Rasterbohrungen Zapfen angeordnet sind, die mit ihrem einen Ende in die Durchgangsbohrung des Bandendglieds ragen und die Verstellachse bilden und die von einer in der Durchgangsbohrung angeordneten vorgespannten Druckfeder voneinander weg beaufschlagt und die an ihrem anderen aus der Rasterbohrung herausragenden Ende als Rastkopf ausgebildet sind, so dienen die Zapfen in Doppelfunktion sowohl als Verstellachse, um die das Bandendglied schwenkbar ist als auch als Rastköpfe zum sichern des Schwenkelements in seinen Schwenkendpositionen.Instructs the band end member in its protruding into the opening of the "U" Area a through hole, the coaxial to penetrate grid holes is formed in the free legs of the "U", wherein in the grid holes pins are arranged with one end protrude into the through hole of the band end link and the adjustment axis form and the biased by a arranged in the through hole Compressed spring away from each other and the on her other end protruding from the grid hole formed as a locking head are, the pins serve as double adjustment functions, around which the band end link is pivotable and also as locking heads to secure the swivel element in its swivel end positions.

Dabei kann eine einzige mit ihren beiden Enden sich jeweils an einem Zapfen abstützende Feder verwendet werden.A single can with its two ends each on one Pin supporting spring can be used.

Eine Kombination von Verschluß und Längenverstellung wird in einfacher Weise dadurch erreicht, daß das Verschlußteil ein Deckelendglied eines Z-artig zusammenklappbaren Verschlusses ist, an das ein Mittelglied und an das Mittelglied ein Basisglied angelenkt ist, wobei in zusammengeklapptem Zustand das Deckelendglied mit dem Basisglied durch eine Rastverbindung verbindbar ist. A combination of closure and length adjustment becomes easier Way achieved in that the closure part of a cover end member Z-like collapsible fastener is to which a middle link and a base member is articulated to the central link, being in the folded position Condition the cover end link with the base link by a Snap connection is connectable.

Dazu kann das Basisglied einen Rastenträger aufweisen, der im zusammengeklappten Zustand des Z-artigen Verschlusses von dem etwa U-förmig ausgebildeten, dem Bandendglied abgewandten Ende des Deckelglieds an seinen Seitenbereichen umgriffen ist, wobei an einem Seitenbereich ein Rastnocken hervorragt, der entgegen einer Federkraft in den Rastenträger hineinbewegbar ist und der in eine Rastvertiefung an einem Schenkel des U-förmig ausgebildeten Endes des Deckelglieds einrastbar ist.For this purpose, the base member can have a catch carrier, which in the folded Condition of the Z-like closure of the approximately U-shaped trained end of the cover member facing away from the band end member is encompassed on its side areas, being on a side area protrudes a locking cam that against a spring force in the Snap carrier is movable in and into a recess on one Leg of the U-shaped end of the cover member can be snapped into place is.

Auch hier dient es sowohl zur Sicherheit des Verschlusses als auch zur symmetrischen Belastung, daß an jedem Seitenbereich des Rastenträgers ein Rastnocken hervorragt und jeder Schenkel des U-förmig ausgebildeten Endes des Deckelglieds eine Rastvertiefung aufweist.Here, too, it serves both for the safety of the closure and for symmetrical load that on each side area of the raster support a locking cam protrudes and each leg of the U-shaped Has a locking recess at the end of the cover member.

Erstreckt sich das Basisglied in Bandlängsrichtung zu beiden Seiten des Rastenträgers, so kann der Rastenträger Teil eines Doppel-Z-Verschlusses sein, dessen jeder Z-Teil mit einer Längenverstelleinrichtung der oben beschriebenen Art versehen sein kann.The base member extends in the longitudinal direction of the band on both sides of the Snap bracket, so the snap bracket can be part of a double Z lock be, each Z-part with a length adjustment device the type described above can be provided.
