Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a clasp known as a "secret clasp” for a bracelet, more particularly for a rigid bracelet, whether the bracelet is a jewel or a watch bracelet for example.
  • the clasp which is the subject of the present invention must be as invisible as possible, integrated as it is in an element of the bracelet, while ensuring a secure closure of the bracelet that cannot accidentally open.
  • Document FR 935435 discloses a clasp for a flexible or articulated bracelet comprising a base plate to which one end of the bracelet is permanently fixed while the other end of the bracelet can be fixed with hooks in a removable manner .
  • a hinged cover on this base plate covers the hooks in the service position and prevents the bracelet from opening.
  • Such a clasp has the drawback of not having sufficient security, the locking of the cover on the base being random and above all does not constitute a secret clasp since it is immediately recognizable as being a clasp at first glance.
  • the present invention aims to achieve a secret clasp, therefore almost invisible, for rigid bracelet preventing any accidental or involuntary opening.
  • the secret clasp for a rigid bracelet according to the present invention is distinguished by the characteristics set out in claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is a top view of the wristwatch equipped with the clasp according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a section along line B-B in Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a section along the line CC in Figure 1.
  • Figure 4 is a section along the line EE in Figure 1.
  • Figure 5 is a section along line D-D of Figure 1.
  • Figure 6 illustrates the wrist watch on the user's wrist.
  • FIGS 7 to 10 illustrate the different operating positions of the clasp when it is opened.
  • the rigid bracelet 1 has two ends, one 1 rigidly and definitively fixed on the secret clasp and the other 1 b intended to be removably fixed on the other side of the secret clasp.
  • the secret clasp has a body 2 and a cover 3 hinged to this body 2.
  • the body 2 of the secret clasp is arranged in this embodiment to receive a watch case whose dial is visible through an opening in the cover 3 of the secret clasp.
  • the end 1a of the rigid bracelet but sufficiently elastic to allow its widening when it is opened for the passage of the user's hand, is fixed to one side of the body 2 of the clasp. This fixing is carried out in the example illustrated using two positioning pins 4.5 and two screws 6.
  • the other end 1b of the rigid bracelet has a coupling member
  • the side of the body 2 of the secret clasp opposite to that rigidly connected to the bracelet 1 has a locking edge 8 cooperating in the closed position of the bracelet with the underside of the coupling member 7.
  • the upper part of the end 1 b of the bracelet has a locking groove 9, located behind the coupling member 7, and intended to receive a locking rib 10 which comprises the cover 3 of the secret clasp.
  • the lid 3 of the secret clasp is pivoted on the body 2 of this clasp by means of two screws 11 with cylindrical head, screwed in two opposite sides of the lid 3 and the heads of which are housed in slots 12 or oval holes in the body 2 of the clasp.
  • the body has passages 13 in which pushers 14 slide under the action of a spring 15 itself positioned by a screw 16 screwed into the body 2.
  • These elastic devices 13-16 have two functions, the first to hold the pivot screws 11 against the end of the corresponding slot 12 and the second to apply a certain friction to the screws 11.
  • the edge of the cover 3 opposite the screws 11 forming its articulation is provided with a retaining notch 17 cooperating with the edge 18 of the body 2.
  • the cover is held in its bracelet locking position by this retaining notch, and the action of the elastic devices 14-16.
  • the cover 3 of the clasp has a crystal 19 enabling the watch housed in the clasp to be seen.
  • the clasp may not include a watch and the cover 3 of the clasp is full or may include a decoration or serve as a support for gemstones.
  • the security of the clasp is total because it takes two movements in different directions, a translation followed by a rotation of the cover 3 relative to the body 2 of the clasp to open the clasp.
  • the screws 11 of the elastic devices 14-16 make it possible to adjust the friction applied to the pivot screws 11 of the cover.
  • this cover even once moved transversely to release the notch 17, can only move angularly under the will of the user.
  • This secret clasp is thus safe and reliable. In addition, it is integrated into the bracelet and is practically not visible, whether the bracelet is a jewelry bracelet or a watch bracelet.
  • the head of the screws 11 may include a plate which would cooperate with the corresponding pusher 14 in the closed position of the clasp.
