  • the upper part and the bottom of the watch were articulated with a strap.
  • the bottom of the watch was designed in such a way that the upper part and strap could be inserted into it were.
  • One end of the bracelet was on the top and the other end of the bracelet articulated on the lower part.
  • the object of the invention is a bracelet with an eye-catching object and a To create flip closure, which is easy to open and close and easy to carry and which is aesthetically beautiful, especially when closed Appearance.
  • the two toggle levers of the fold-over fastener in recesses in the end areas of the bracelet retractable flush.
  • the two toggle levers are also preferred and form the associated recess in such a way that the toggle lever engages lie in the recesses and only by using a slight opening force can be unfolded. You also become a toggle and recess like this train that pushing through the recess is not possible.
  • the bracelet shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 designed as a closed bangle, has a fold-over closure 1 .
  • the flap closure 1 is designed as a symmetrical unit. As a central part, it has a watch case 3 as an eye-catcher.
  • One end of the bracelet 5a and 5b is attached to the folding clasp 1 with a swivel joint 6a and 6b .
  • the bracelet also has two concave, mirror-symmetrical rigid bangle parts 7a and 7b , which are connected to one another by a swivel joint 9 .
  • the concave bend of the bracelet parts 7a and 7b is adapted to the surface shape of the human wrist.
  • the flap closure 1 has on both sides of the watch case 3 a toggle lever 11a and 11b held with a swivel joint 10a and 10b , the respective leg parts 13a and 13b or 13c and 13d are pivotally connected to one another by a swivel joint 15a and 15b .
  • the toggle levers 11a and 11b are mirror-symmetrical to one another.
  • the pivot part 13a or 13c is pivotably held with the pivot joint 10a or, 10b in each case on a side flange 14a or 14b of the watch case 3 .
  • each bracelet end region 5a or 5b has a U-shaped recess 17a or 17b which is open towards the end and extends through the entire end region.
  • the longitudinal sides 19a and 19b or 19c and 19d of the recess 17a or 17b run parallel to the end edges of the bangle parts 7a and 7b .
  • the two bangle parts 7a and 7b are formed as tabs of the same width, which are curved in accordance with the wrist contour, but this is not mandatory. A different shape would also be possible.
  • the axes of all swivel joints 6a, 6b, 9, 10a, 10b, 15a and 15b run parallel to one another.
  • the leg parts 13a to 13d are also designed according to the width b of the recess 17a or 17b, with the exception of a tolerance, of the same width, concave or convex curved tabs.
  • the tab thickness d is, apart from a second tolerance, half as thick as the thickness of the respective bangle end region e having the relevant recess. Due to the thickness selection just described and a suitable concave or convex shape of the leg parts 13a to 13d , the fully folded toggle levers 5a and 5b , as shown in FIGS . 1 and 3 , lie flush in the respective recesses 17a and 17b .
  • FIG. 5 shows a section along a line V - V in FIG . 3 . This cut is made in the recess arc 23a slightly offset towards the recess opening 25a .
  • the respective snap-in unit is arranged in the vicinity of the recess arc 23a or 23b , ie as far as possible from the swivel joint 6a or 6b between the bracelet part 7a or 7a and the relevant leg part 13b or 13d .
  • Each leg section 13b or 13d has, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 4 , a gap 29a or 29b which starts from the swivel joint 15a or 15b and ends in a through hole 31a or 31b .
  • the swivel joint 15a and 15b is now designed such that the two tab parts 33a and 33b are resiliently bendable to the left and right of the gap 29a and 29b .

  • each recess 17a and 17b are formed in the vicinity of the recess arch 23a or 23b with a bevel 35a or 35b which tapers slightly outwards and which has a leading edge to the outside 21a or 21b of the respective bracelet part 7a or 7b 37a or 37b .
  • the approximately extended leg parts 13a to 13d of the toggle levers 11a and 11b are folded together in order to reduce the overall circumference of the bracelet.
  • the two leg parts 13a and 13b and 13c and 13d are moved towards the respective recess 17a and 17b until the respective leg part 13b and 13d in the region of the swivel joint 15a and 15b on the outside 21a and 21b of the respective one Bangle 7a or 7b strikes in the vicinity of the recess arc 23a or 23b .
  • the two tab parts 33a and 33b are pressed together against their spring action by the inlet edges 37b and 37b .
  • the two tab parts 13b and 13d relax at the following slopes 35a and 35b .

  • the recess configuration described above, however, allows easier production with a beautiful appearance.
  • the recess arc 23a or 23b does not necessarily have to have a surface which is perpendicular to the longitudinal sides 19a to 19d of the recesses 17a and 17b .
  • a curved surface can also be used.
  • the above-described recess arch 23a or 23b is, however, easy to produce mechanically.
