Description

FERMOIR POUR BRACELET CLASP FOR BRACELET
La présente invention a pour objet un fermoir dit "fermoir à secret" pour bracelet, plus particulièrement pour bracelet rigide, que le bracelet soit un bijou ou un bracelet de montre par exemple.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.
Comme son nom l'indique, le fermoir objet de la présente invention doit être le moins visible possible, intégré qu'il est dans un élément du bracelet, tout en assurant une fermeture sûre du bracelet ne pouvant pas s'ouvrir accidentellement.As the name suggests, 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.
On connaît du document FR 935435 un fermoir pour bracelet souple ou articulé comportant une plaque de base à laquelle l'une des extrémités du bracelet est fixée définitivement tandis que l'autre extrémité du bracelet peut être fixée à l'aide de crochets de façon amovible. Un couvercle articulé sur cette plaque de base recouvre en position de service les crochets et empêche l'ouverture du bracelet. Un tel fermoir présente l'inconvénient de ne pas présenter une sécurité suffisante, le verrouillage du couvercle sur la base étant aléatoire et surtout ne constitue pas un fermoir à secret puisqu'il est immédiatement reconnaissable comme étant un fermoir au premier coup d'œil.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.
La présente invention a pour but la réalisation d'un fermoir secret, donc quasi invisible, pour bracelet rigide interdisant toute ouverture accidentelle ou involontaire.The present invention aims to achieve a secret clasp, therefore almost invisible, for rigid bracelet preventing any accidental or involuntary opening.
Le fermoir à secret pour bracelet rigide selon la présente invention se distingue par les caractéristiques énoncées à la revendication 1.The secret clasp for a rigid bracelet according to the present invention is distinguished by the characteristics set out in claim 1.
Le dessin annexé illustre schématiquement et à titre d'exemple une forme d'exécution du fermoir à secret selon l'invention appliqué à une montre-bracelet.The accompanying drawing illustrates schematically and by way of example an embodiment of the secret clasp according to the invention applied to a wristwatch.
La figure 1 est une vue de dessus de la montre-bracelet équipé du fermoir selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a top view of the wristwatch equipped with the clasp according to the invention.
La figure 2 est une coupe suivant la ligne B-B de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a section along line B-B in Figure 1.
La figure 3 est une coupe suivant la ligne C-C de la figure 1. La figure 4 est une coupe suivant la ligne E-E de la 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.
La figure 5 est une coupe suivant la ligne D-D de la figure 1.Figure 5 is a section along line D-D of Figure 1.
La figure 6 illustre la montre-bracelet au poignet de l'usager.Figure 6 illustrates the wrist watch on the user's wrist.
Les figures 7 à 10 illustrent les différentes positions de fonctionnement du fermoir lors de son ouverture.Figures 7 to 10 illustrate the different operating positions of the clasp when it is opened.
En référence aux figures 1 à 5, on décrira maintenant à titre d'exemple un bracelet-montre rigide muni du fermoir à secret selon l'invention.With reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, a rigid wristwatch provided with the secret clasp according to the invention will now be described by way of example.
Le bracelet rigide 1 comporte deux extrémités, l'une 1 a fixée rigidement et définitivement sur le fermoir à secret et l'autre 1 b destinée à être fixée de façon amovible sur l'autre côté du fermoir à secret.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.
Le fermoir à secret comporte un corps 2 et un couvercle 3 articulé sur ce corps 2. Le corps 2 du fermoir à secret est agencé dans cette forme d'exécution pour recevoir une boite de montre dont le cadran est visible à travers une ouverture du couvercle 3 du fermoir à secret. L'extrémité 1a du bracelet rigide, mais suffisamment élastique pour permettre son élargissement lors de son ouverture pour le passage de la main de l'usager, est fixée sur un côté du corps 2 du fermoir. Cette fixation est réalisée dans l'exemple illustré à l'aide de deux goupilles de positionnement 4,5 et de deux vis 6. L'autre extrémité 1 b du bracelet rigide comporte un organe d'accouplementThe 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
7 pouvant, comme on le verra plus loin, être verrouillé temporairement sur l'autre côté du fermoir à secret.7 can, as will be seen below, be temporarily locked on the other side of the secret clasp.
Le côté du corps 2 du fermoir à secret opposé à celui relié rigidement au bracelet 1 comporte une arête de verrouillage 8 coopérant en position fermée du bracelet avec la face inférieure de l'organe d'accouplement 7. La partie supérieure de l'extrémité 1 b du bracelet comporte une rainure de verrouillage 9, située derrière l'organe d'accouplement 7, et destinée à recevoir une nervure 10 de verrouillage que comporte le couvercle 3 du fermoir à secret. Ainsi, lorsque le bracelet 1 est fermé, son extrémité 1 b est maintenue verrouillée entre le corps 2 et le couvercle 3 du fermoir. Pour ouvrir le bracelet, il faut ouvrir, c'est-à-dire faire pivoter le couvercle 3 du fermoir sur son corps 2.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. Thus, when the bracelet 1 is closed, its end 1b is kept locked between the body 2 and the cover 3 of the clasp. To open the bracelet, it is necessary to open, that is to say rotate the cover 3 of the clasp on its body 2.
Le couvercle 3 du fermoir à secret est pivoté sur le corps 2 de ce fermoir à l'aide de deux vis 11 à tête cylindrique, vissées dans deux côtés opposés du couvercle 3 et dont les têtes sont logées dans des fentes 12 ou trous ovales du corps 2 du fermoir.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.
Les têtes cylindriques de ces vis 11 sont soumises à une action élastique tendant à les appliquer contre l'extrémité de la fente 12 proche du bord latéral du corps 2 du fermoir. A cet effet, le corps comporte des passages 13 dans lesquels coulissent des poussoirs 14 soumis à l'action d'un ressort 15 lui-même positionné par une vis 16 vissée dans le corps 2.The cylindrical heads of these screws 11 are subjected to an elastic action tending to apply them against the end of the slot 12 near the lateral edge of the body 2 of the clasp. To this end, 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.
Ces dispositifs élastiques 13-16 ont deux fonctions, la première de maintenir les vis pivots 11 contre l'extrémité de la fente 12 correspondante et la seconde d'appliquer aux vis 11 une certaine friction.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.
Le bord du couvercle 3 opposé aux vis 11 formant son articulation est muni d'un cran de retenue 17 coopérant avec le bord 18 du corps 2.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.
Ainsi, en position fermée illustrée du fermoir, le couvercle est maintenu dans sa position de verrouillage du bracelet par ce cran de retenue, et l'action des dispositifs élastiques 14-16.Thus, in the illustrated closed position of the clasp, the cover is held in its bracelet locking position by this retaining notch, and the action of the elastic devices 14-16.
Dans cette position fermée du couvercle, l'organe d'accouplement 7 de l'extrémité 1b du bracelet 1 est verrouillé entre le corps 18 et le couvercle 3,10 du fermoir.In this closed position of the cover, the coupling member 7 of the end 1b of the bracelet 1 is locked between the body 18 and the cover 3.10 of the clasp.
Pour ouvrir le bracelet, il faut volontairement faire effectuer deux déplacements au couvercle 3 du fermoir par rapport au corps 2 de celui-ci. Il faut dans un premier temps pousser le couvercle 3 transversalement de la position illustrée à la figure 7 jusque dans la position illustrée à la figure 8 pour libérer le cran 17 du bord 18, puis faire pivoter le couvercle 3 contre le frottement exercé par les dispositifs élastiques 14-16 sur les vis 11. Seulement lorsque le couvercle 3 est totalement ouvert (figure 10), l'usager peut retirer l'extrémité 1b du bracelet 1 hors du fermoir 2,3 ouvrant ainsi le bracelet qui de par sa flexibilité permet à l'usager de retirer sa main hors du bracelet.To open the bracelet, you must voluntarily make two movements of the cover 3 of the clasp relative to the body 2 of the latter. It is first necessary to push the cover 3 transversely from the position illustrated in FIG. 7 to the position illustrated in FIG. 8 to release the notch 17 from the edge 18, then pivot the cover 3 against the friction exerted by the devices. elastic 14-16 on screws 11. Only when the cover 3 is completely open (FIG. 10), the user can withdraw the end 1b of the bracelet 1 from the clasp 2.3 thus opening the bracelet which, by its flexibility, allows the user to withdraw his hand from the bracelet.
Dans le cas illustré, le couvercle 3 du fermoir comporte une glace 19 permettant de voir la montre logée dans le fermoir.In the illustrated case, the cover 3 of the clasp has a crystal 19 enabling the watch housed in the clasp to be seen.
Dans d'autres exécutions, le fermoir peut ne pas comporter de montre et le couvercle 3 du fermoir est plein ou peut comporter un décor ou servir de support à des pierres serties.In other embodiments, 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.
La sécurité du fermoir est totale car il faut deux mouvements dans des directions différentes, une translation suivie d'une rotation du couvercle 3 par rapport au corps 2 du fermoir pour ouvrir le fermoir. Les vis 11 des dispositifs élastiques 14-16 permettent de régler la friction appliquée aux vis pivots 11 du couvercle. Ainsi ce couvercle, même une fois déplacé transversalement pour libérer le cran 17, ne peut se déplacer angulairement que sous la volonté de l'usager.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. Thus this cover, even once moved transversely to release the notch 17, can only move angularly under the will of the user.
Ce fermoir à secret est ainsi sûr et fiable. De plus, il est intégré au bracelet et n'est pratiquement pas visible, que le bracelet soit un bracelet de joaillerie ou un bracelet-montre.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.
Pour augmenter la résistance au pivotement du couvercle 3, la tête des vis 11 peut comporter un plat qui coopérerait avec le poussoir 14 correspondant en position fermée du fermoir. To increase the resistance to pivoting of the cover 3, 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.
