Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un bracelet notamment un bracelet de montre.The present invention relates to a bracelet in particular a watch strap.
On connaít des bracelets de montres en cuir. On connaít également des bracelets de montres sans fermoir, formés par une ou deux lames-ressorts arquées, gainée de cuir et s'ajustant de manière élastique autour du poignet. On connaít également les bracelets métalliques formés de maillons articulés autour d'axes transversaux au bracelet, lui conférant une souplesse apte à lui permettre de s'adapter à la forme du poignet.We know leather watch straps. We know also watch straps without clasp, formed by one or two arched leaf springs, leather-wrapped and adjustable elastic around the wrist. We know also metal bracelets formed of articulated links around axes transverse to the bracelet, giving it flexibility capable of allowing it to adapt to shape wrist.
Ces bracelets à maillons permettent de réaliser des bracelets de plusieurs couleurs, en utilisant des métaux différents. Ces métaux peuvent être des métaux nobles ou de l'acier inoxydable ou un mélange des deux par exemple. On peut aussi sertir des pierres précieuses sur ces maillons. On ne connaít cependant pas de bracelet, notamment de bracelet de montre, formé d'éléments de cuir articulés à l'instar des bracelets métalliques. Ce matériau se prête en effet mal à ce type de bracelets et sa réalisation poserait des problèmes difficiles et chers à résoudre, compte tenu de la petitesse des éléments à assembler et de la nature du matériau.These link bracelets allow you to make bracelets of several colors, using metals different. These metals can be noble metals or stainless steel or a mixture of the two for example. We can also set precious stones on these links. We do not know any bracelet, especially bracelet watch, made of hinged leather elements like metal bracelets. This material does not lend itself well to this type of bracelets and its production would pose problems difficult and expensive to solve, given the smallness of the elements to be assembled and the nature of the material.
Le but de la présente invention est d'apporter une solution à ce problème.The object of the present invention is to provide a solution to this problem.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un
bracelet, notamment un bracelet de montre, tel que défini
par la revendication 1.To this end, the present invention relates to a
bracelet, in particular a watch strap, as defined
by
L'aspect d'un tel bracelet est évidemment surprenant, tant l'articulation de petits éléments de cuir adjacents pour former un bracelet semble contraire à la nature du cuir. Par ailleurs, le cuir étant un matériau naturellement souple, l'articulation de petits éléments de cuir est inattendue. Or la dissimulation des substrats métalliques de ces éléments en cuir permet de préserver le côté insolite d'un tel bracelet. La structure de ce bracelet permet de combiner des maillons cuir avec des maillons ou autres éléments métalliques, voire avec des éléments métalliques sertis de pierres précieuses. On peut évidemment assortir des cuirs de différentes couleurs et/ou textures, voire de matériaux souples de différentes natures. Il est évident qu'une telle solution permet de créer des bracelets d'un type nouveau offrant aux créateurs des possibilités encore inconnues jusqu'ici, permettant des associations et combinaisons de formes, de couleurs et de matières extrêmement variées.The appearance of such a bracelet is obviously surprising, both the articulation of small adjacent leather elements to form a bracelet seems contrary to the nature of the leather. In addition, leather being a material naturally flexible, the joint of small pieces of leather is unexpected. The concealment of the metal substrates of these leather elements preserve the unusual side of such a bracelet. The structure of this bracelet allows combine leather links with links or other metallic elements, or even with metallic elements set with precious stones. We can obviously match leathers of different colors and / or textures, or even flexible materials of different natures. It is obvious that such a solution makes it possible to create bracelets of a new type offering creators even more possibilities hitherto unknown, allowing associations and combinations extremely shapes, colors and materials varied.
En effet, comme on a pu le voir, en raison de sa nature, l'utilisation du cuir dans la fabrication de bracelets était limitée et n'avait encore pas fait son apparition pour les bracelets formés d'éléments articulés.Indeed, as we have seen, due to its nature, the use of leather in the manufacture of bracelets was limited and had yet to appear for bracelets made of articulated elements.
Les détails de cette invention apparaítront au cours de
la description qui suit, faite en relation avec le dessin
annexé, illustrant, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple,
une forme d'exécution de la présente invention.
Le bracelet illustré par la figure 1 est formé de deux
sortes d'éléments, des éléments centraux 1 qui ont une forme
carrée ou rectangulaire, comme on peut le constater sur la
figure 2 et qui présentent à l'intérieur de ce carré un
losange la en relief. Lorsque deux éléments centraux 1 sont
disposés côte à côte, deux espaces triangulaires sont formés
entre les bords des losanges en relief la. Ces espaces sont
occupés par deux éléments latéraux 2 de formes générales
triangulaires qui s'étendent latéralement à l'extérieur des
éléments centraux 1 et dont les bords latéraux externes sont
convexes.The bracelet illustrated in Figure 1 is formed of two
kinds of elements,
Comme le montre la coupe de la figure 5, la partie de
ces éléments latéraux 2 qui recouvre les éléments centraux 1
présente une épaisseur réduite pour leur permettre de recouvrir
les parties plus minces de ces éléments centraux 1
situées entre les losanges la. Des perçages sont ménagés
selon des axes transversaux 3 à travers les éléments
centraux 1 et la partie des éléments latéraux 2 qui déborde
latéralement des éléments centraux 1 pour permettre le
passage des axes d'articulation qui peuvent être fixés par
vissage, rivetage, soudage par exemple. Le vissage présente
l'avantage de pouvoir facilement changer un élément du
bracelet en cas de besoin.As shown in the section in Figure 5, the part of
these
Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, des éléments
décoratifs circulaires 4 font saillie aux quatre angles du
losange en relief 1a.In the embodiment shown, elements
decorative circular 4 protrude at the four corners of the
diamond in
De légers espaces 5 sont ménagés entre les bords adjacents
parallèles des losanges en relief la des éléments
centraux 1 et des éléments latéraux triangulaires 2. Ces
espaces 5 sont de l'ordre de quelque dixièmes de mm et sont
destinés à donner un certain degré de liberté pour permettre
aux éléments 1, 2 du bracelet un pivotement limité autour
des axes d'articulation transversaux 3 reliant ces éléments
entre eux.Light spaces 5 are provided between the adjacent edges
diamonds in relief the elements
central 1 and
Ces espaces 5 sont calculés également pour permettre de
revêtir les losanges en relief la des éléments centraux,
ainsi que les bords latéraux 1b (figure 3) de ces losanges
et toute la surface externe des éléments latéraux 2, y compris
les faces latérales internes et externes de ces éléments
latéraux 2 d'une très fine couche d'un matériau souple,
notamment de cuir 6. L'épaisseur de cette couche de
cuir 6 peut être de l'ordre du dixième de mm. Elle peut
avantageusement être collée sur les surfaces visibles des
éléments 1 et 2 qui lui servent de substrat. Les éléments 1,
2 ainsi revêtus apparaissent comme des éléments en cuir.
Seuls, dans cet exemple, les éléments décoratifs circulaires
4 ne sont pas revêtus et laissent apparaítre du métal, par
exemple de l'or. Ces éléments pourraient aussi être conformés
pour permettre de sertir des diamants par exemple.These spaces 5 are also calculated to allow
put the diamonds in relief on the central elements,
as well as the
Il est évident que ces éléments 4 ne sont pas indispensables
à la réalisation de la présente invention qui s'applique
à tous types de bracelets à éléments articulés recouverts
de cuir 6 ou autre matériau souple et donnant l'impression
d'un bracelet cuir à éléments articulés. Bien
entendu, grâce à la présente invention, il devient possible
de réaliser des bracelets cuir de plusieurs couleurs comme
on le fait pour les bracelets métalliques et d'obtenir des
effets totalement nouveaux. On pourrait aussi mélanger le
cuir avec d'autre matériaux souples, il est aussi possible
de jouer sur des cuirs de textures différentes. On peut
aussi ne pas recouvrir de cuir tous les éléments du
bracelets. Enfin, la présente invention offre aux créateurs
des possibilités de combinaisons extrêmement variées.It is obvious that these
Bien entendu, le bracelet pourrait avoir une forme complètement différente de celle du bracelet illustré. De préférence, la face interne du bracelet adjacente au bras est recouverte d'une bande de cuir, dissimulant ainsi les substrats métalliques.Of course, the bracelet could have a completely different from that of the illustrated bracelet. Of preferably, the internal face of the bracelet adjacent to the arm is covered with a leather band, thus concealing the metallic substrates.
