Definitions
- Document FR-2490082 discloses a device for fixing a bracelet on a watch case which has holes made in bosses protruding parts of the watch case intended to receive the ends handles used to secure the bracelet.
- the handles being articulated, they can follow the shape of the user's wrist.
- the watch case must have protruding bosses or studs constituting a significant constraint for the watch case designer that this invention tends to suppress.
- the object of the present invention is to produce a device for fixing a bracelet on a watch case which obviates the aforementioned drawbacks and which more simple, inexpensive and particularly robust to be able to equip sports or diving watches.
- Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the mounting of a strap on a watch case, whether this strap is flexible or rigid.
- the attached drawing illustrates schematically and by way of example two forms of execution of the device for fixing a bracelet on a watch case according to the invention.
- Figure 1 is a bottom view of a watch case equipped with device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a partial section, on a larger scale, of Figure 1 along line A-A.
- Figure 3 illustrates in plan a first embodiment of a wire loop forming part of the device.
- Figure 4 illustrates in plan a second embodiment of a wire loop forming part of the device.
- the illustrated watch case provided with the strap fixing device according to the invention comprises a box of form 1, a middle part of the bezel 2 in which is fixed a window 3 and a bottom 4 also comprising a window 5.
- the box 1 could include an all-metal background in other versions.
- the strap fastening device on this watch case includes on the two sides of the box 1, here at 12 o'clock and at 6 o'clock, two blind holes 6.7 practiced in the watch case and opening onto its peripheral surface. These holes 6.7 are parallel to each other and located in planes parallel to the plane of symmetry of the 12H-6H watch case located at equal distance from this plane of symmetry.
- the axis of the blind holes 6,7 is inclined by relative to the upper and lower faces of the box 1, the angle of inclination of these holes can vary at will between + 60 ° and - 60 ° approximately.
- the watch case is still fitted with 8.9 threads leading to the underside of the box 1 and whose axes intersect the horns of the holes blind 6.7.
- the device for fixing a bracelet on a watch case also has strap attachment members constituted by wires or rods bent in a general U-shape 10. These organs or handles 10 each have a middle portion 11 intended to receive the bracelet (not shown) and two ends folded at approximately 90 ° 12. Each of these ends or branch 12 has on its underside, near its end, an obviously 13. Between this obviously 13 and the end of the branch 12 this has a groove 15 receiving an O-ring seal to guarantee the stability of the assembly to vibrations.
- the middle part 11 of these handles 10 receives the bracelet, it can be folded around this middle part or have a passage at its end receiving this middle part 11.
- screws 14 are screwed into the threads 8.9 of the box 1, and their ends are housed in the recesses 13 of branches 12 of the fasteners 10 and fix them firmly in place on the box 1.
- the screws 14 are provided with O-ring seals 14a in order to prevent them from unscrew under the effect of vibrations.
- This fixing device is very simple and very robust. In addition, it does not requires simple machining of the box and can be incorporated into any what a watch case whatever its shape.
- the handle 10 comprises at the end of its branches 12 circular grooves 15 intended to receive a seal 16 anti vibration.
- the member for hanging the bracelet or loop 10 is made up of two bent rods or wires L shape 17.18.
- the short branches 19 of these rods 17,18 have as in the first embodiment, obviously 13 and a groove 15.
- a tube 21 makes it possible to join the free ends of the long branches 20 of these rods 17, 18 to create a complete attachment member for the bracelet. Thanks to that realization in two parts of the handle 10, we can first fix a part 17 on the watch case, then put on the part of the bracelet with a passage on the branch 20 provided with the tube 21 fixed to the box. Then branch 20 on the other part 18 is threaded through the passage of the bracelet intended to receive it. This part 18 is fully inserted so that the end of the branch 20 is plugged in in the free end of the tube 21 then the free end of the branch 19 is fixed to the watch case.
- the tube 21 has a narrowing in the middle of its length to ensure that it properly surrounds the ends of the two branches 20 in the position of service and that it cannot slide too deeply on one of these branches 20.
- Each handle 10 can be formed from a stainless steel wire or rod bent and machined with a diameter of 1 to 2 mm for example. It is therefore understandable that the strap attachments on the watch are very solid. Their mechanical fixing is simple and robust. It is also easily removable.
