It comprises two parts (16,18) pivoted together and a notch lock (22) for fixing the parts. The upper part comprises a lug (28) which is engaged in the cut-out to lock the strand in the clasp. The parts are arranged so as to be able to be separated from each other on the side where the strand is introduced.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux fermoirs destinés à verrouiller un brin en matériau souple, de forme oblongue et s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal et muni d'au moins une découpe pratiquée dans l'épaisseur du brin. De tels fermoirs sont généralement montés de manière articulée autour d'un axe transversal, perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal, sur un support. Ils comportent deux pièces assemblées de manière pivotante l'une sur l'autre par l'une de leurs extrémités, autour d'un axe dit de pivotement, et un verrou à cran pour rendre solidaire les deux pièces, dans une position dite fermée. Dans ce fermoir les pièces inférieure et supérieure définissent entre elles une fente dans laquelle le brin est condamné lorsque le fermoir est fermé.The present invention relates to clasps intended to lock a strand in flexible material, oblong in shape and extending along a longitudinal axis and provided with at least one cut in the thickness of the strand. Such clasps are generally mounted articulated around an axis transverse, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, on a support. They include two parts pivotally assembled one on the other by one of their ends, around a so-called pivot axis, and a notched lock to make secured to the two parts, in a so-called closed position. In this clasp the lower and upper parts define between them a slot in which the strand is locked when the clasp is closed.

Un fermoir de ce type est, par exemple, décrit dans le brevet CH 205'276. Il est destiné à équiper une montre munie d'un bracelet formé de deux brins. Le premier brin est perforé de plusieurs découpes destinées à permettre son verrouillage dans le fermoir. Ce fermoir comporte une première pièce, inférieure, montée de manière articulée à l'extrémité du second brin, autour de l'axe transversal, et une deuxième pièce, montée pivotante sur la première, autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe longitudinal.A clasp of this type is, for example, described in patent CH 205,276. It is intended to equip a watch provided with a bracelet formed of two strands. The first strand is perforated with several cutouts intended to allow its lock in the clasp. This clasp has a first piece, lower, hingedly mounted at the end of the second strand, around the transverse axis, and a second part, pivotally mounted on the first, about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis.

La première pièce est munie d'un ergot s'étendant selon un axe perpendiculaire aux deux axes longitudinaux et transversaux. En position fermée, les deux pièces définissent un espace dans lequel est disposé le premier brin, l'ergot étant engagé dans l'une des découpes, de telle sorte que le brin est verrouillé dans le fermoir.The first part is provided with a lug extending along a perpendicular axis to the two longitudinal and transverse axes. In the closed position, both parts define a space in which is placed the first strand, the lug being engaged in one of the cutouts, so that the strand is locked in the clasp.

Les deux pièces sont verrouillées l'une à l'autre au moyen d'une clavette montée pivotante sur la première pièce et venant s'engager à cran sur l'extrémité de la deuxième pièce pour les rendre solidaires l'une de l'autre. The two parts are locked to each other by means of a mounted key pivoting on the first part and engaging with notch on the end of the second piece to make them integral with each other.

Une telle structure peut être délicate du point de vue mécanique. Plus particulièrement, le risque d'accrochage de la deuxième pièce et de la clavette est important. Le but de la présente invention est de pallier cet inconvénient.Such a structure can be delicate from the mechanical point of view. More in particular, the risk of catching the second part and the key is important. The object of the present invention is to overcome this drawback.

Elle permet en outre, dans les applications à des montres-bracelet, d'utiliser les brins des bracelets disponibles sur le marché.It also allows, in applications to wristwatches, to use the strands of bracelets available on the market.

Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que le fermoir présente les caractéristiques suivantes:

  • la pièce supérieure comporte un ergot destiné à être engagé dans ladite découpe pour garantir le verrouillage du brin dans le fermoir lorsque celui-ci est fermé, et
  • l'axe de pivotement est parallèle à l'axe transversal,
  • lesdites pièces sont disposées de manière à pouvoir être écartées l'une de l'autre lors de la manipulation, du côté où le brin est introduit dans le fermoir, et à ce que l'axe de pivotement soit parallèle à l'axe transversal.
This object is achieved thanks to the fact that the clasp has the following characteristics:
  • the upper part comprises a lug intended to be engaged in said cutout to guarantee the locking of the strand in the clasp when the latter is closed, and
  • the pivot axis is parallel to the transverse axis,
  • said parts are arranged so that they can be separated from one another during handling, on the side where the strand is introduced into the clasp, and so that the pivot axis is parallel to the transverse axis.

Comme l'ergot se trouve sur la pièce supérieure, il est en retrait du brin lors de son introduction dans le fermoir. De la sorte, le brin n'est pas gêné dans son mouvement. La mise en place est facilitée du fait que l'axe de pivotement est parallèle à l'axe transversal et à cause de la disposition relative des deux pièces. Ainsi, les deux pièces, en position ouverte, forment une ouverture en entonnoir qui guide le brin lors de son introduction.As the lug is on the upper part, it is set back from the strand when its introduction into the clasp. In this way, the strand is not hampered in its movement. Installation is facilitated by the fact that the pivot axis is parallel to the transverse axis and because of the relative arrangement of the two parts. Thus, the two parts, in the open position, form a funnel opening which guides the strand during its introduction.

Le fermoir peut être particulièrement simple dans sa structure lorsque les axes transversal et de pivotement sont confondus. Ce résultat est obtenu grâce au fait que le fermoir comporte, en outre, une barrette, et que le support et les deux pièces à leur extrémité où elles sont assemblées sont munies de trous coaxiaux, dans lesquels est engagée la barrette. The clasp can be particularly simple in its structure when the pins transverse and pivoting are combined. This is achieved thanks to the fact that the clasp further comprises a bar, and that the support and the two parts at their end where they are assembled are provided with coaxial holes, in which the bar is engaged.

Afin d'améliorer l'esthétique du fermoir et pratiquement supprimer le risque d'ouverture par accrochage, la pièce supérieure comporte deux parois qui s'étendent sur les faces latérales de la pièce inférieure lorsque le fermoir est fermé.In order to improve the aesthetics of the clasp and practically eliminate the risk opening by hanging, the upper part has two walls which extend on the lateral faces of the lower part when the clasp is closed.

De manière avantageuse, le verrou à cran est formé d'un bossage et d'un logement, disposés l'un dans l'une des parois de la pièce supérieure, l'autre dans l'une des faces latérales de la pièce inférieure, de manière à ce que le bossage soit engagé dans le logement lorsque le fermoir est fermé.Advantageously, the notch lock is formed by a boss and a housing, arranged one in one of the walls of the upper room, the other in one of the side faces of the lower part, so that the boss either engaged in the housing when the clasp is closed.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le verrou à cran comporte une bille à ressort et un logement, disposé l'un dans l'une des faces latérales de la pièce inférieure, l'autre dans l'une des parois de la pièce supérieure, de manière à ce que la bille soit engagée dans le logement lorsque le fermoir est fermé.In another embodiment, the notch lock includes a spring ball and a housing, arranged one in one of the lateral faces of the lower part, the other in one of the walls of the upper part, so that the ball is engaged in the housing when the clasp is closed.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, faite en regard du dessin annexé, dans lequel:

  • Les figures 1 et 2 représentent, selon deux vues en perspective, un fermoir selon un premier mode de réalisation, et
  • La figure 3 un fermoir selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, vu sous le même angle que celui de la figure 1.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 represent, in two perspective views, a clasp according to a first embodiment, and
  • FIG. 3 a clasp according to a second embodiment, seen from the same angle as that of FIG. 1.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent un fermoir 10 destiné à assurer la fixation d'un bracelet comportant deux brins 12 et 14, oblongs, s'étendant sensiblement selon un axe longitudinal A-A, le brin 12 servant de support au fermoir 10, alors que le brin 14 est muni de découpes 15 destinées à coopérer avec le fermoir, comme cela sera expliqué plus loin. Ce fermoir est, par exemple, destiné à équiper une montre-bracelet. Figures 1 and 2 show a clasp 10 for securing a bracelet comprising two strands 12 and 14, oblong, extending substantially along a longitudinal axis A-A, the strand 12 serving to support the clasp 10, while the strand 14 is provided with cutouts 15 intended to cooperate with the clasp, as will be explained later. This clasp is, for example, intended for equip a wristwatch.

Le fermoir 10 comporte deux pièces, l'une supérieure 16, l'autre inférieure 18, et une barrette 20 assurant leur assemblage articulé par l'une de leurs extrémités, 16a et 18a, autour d'un axe transversal B-B. La barrette 20 assure en outre la liaison du fermoir 10 avec le brin 12. La pièce inférieure 18, présente des faces l'une supérieure 18b et l'autre inférieure 18c, planes et reliées par des arrondis, tant à l'extrémité 18a qu'à l'extrémité opposée 18d. Elle comporte deux faces latérales 18f, planes et perpendiculaires aux faces 18b et 18c. Ces faces 18f sont munies d'un bossage 22 du côté opposé à l'extrémité 18a, dont la fonction sera précisée plus loin. La pièce 18 comporte, à son extrémité 18a, deux découpes 24 destinées à permettre l'engagement de l'extrémité du brin 12 du bracelet, ainsi qu'un trou cylindrique d'axe B-B, non visible au dessin, et dans lequel la barrette 20 est engagée.The clasp 10 comprises two parts, one upper 16, the other lower 18, and a bar 20 ensuring their assembly articulated by one of their ends, 16a and 18a, around a transverse axis B-B. The bar 20 ensures in in addition to the connection of the clasp 10 with the strand 12. The lower part 18 has faces one upper 18b and the other lower 18c, flat and connected by rounded, both at the end 18a and at the opposite end 18d. It involves two lateral faces 18f, flat and perpendicular to the faces 18b and 18c. These faces 18f are provided with a boss 22 on the side opposite the end 18a, the function will be specified later. The part 18 comprises, at its end 18a, two cutouts 24 intended to allow the engagement of the end of the strand 12 of the bracelet, as well as a cylindrical hole of axis B-B, not visible in the drawing, and in which the bar 20 is engaged.

La pièce supérieure 16 est formée d'une portion médiane 16b et deux parois 16c, s'étendant respectivement sur les faces latérales 18f lorsque le fermoir 10 est fermé. Des logements 26 sont pratiqués dans ces parois, disposés de manière à ce que les bossages 22 s'y engagent lors de la fermeture du fermoir. La portion médiane 16b porte, sur sa face tournée vers la pièce inférieure 18, un ergot 28 destiné à être engagé dans l'une ou l'autre des découpes 15 pour rendre solidaires les deux brins 12 et 14 du bracelet.The upper part 16 is formed by a middle portion 16b and two walls 16c, extending respectively on the lateral faces 18f when the clasp 10 is closed. Housing 26 are formed in these walls, arranged so that the bosses 22 engage there when the clasp is closed. The middle portion 16b carries, on its face facing the lower part 18, a lug 28 intended to be engaged in one or other of the cutouts 15 for making the two strands 12 and 14 of the bracelet integral.

La portion médiane 16b de la pièce supérieure 16 et la face supérieure 18b de la pièce inférieure 18 sont sensiblement parallèles lorsque le fermoir est fermé, c'est à dire lorsque les bossages 22 sont engagés dans les logements 26, et forment une fente 30 dont la largeur est égale à la largeur de la pièce inférieure 18 et légèrement supérieure à la largeur du brin 14, alors que l'épaisseur est légèrement supérieure à celle du brin 14.The middle portion 16b of the upper part 16 and the upper face 18b of the lower part 18 are substantially parallel when the clasp is closed, that is to say when the bosses 22 are engaged in the housings 26, and form a slot 30 whose width is equal to the width of the lower part 18 and slightly greater than the width of the strand 14, while the thickness is slightly higher than that of strand 14.

De la sorte, pour assembler les deux brins 12 et 14, il suffit d'écarter les pièces 16 et 18, ce qui élargi la fente 30 du côté opposé aux extrémités 16a et 18a. Il est ainsi facile d'introduire le brin 14 dans la fente 30, jusqu'à une longueur du bracelet correspondant au bras du porteur. La pièce supérieure 16 est ensuite rabattue et la position du brin 14 est ajustée de manière à ce que l'ergot 28 s'engage dans une des découpes 15. Les bossages 22 s'engagent alors dans les logements 26, verrouillant le pièce 16 sur la pièce 18.In this way, to assemble the two strands 12 and 14, it suffices to separate the parts 16 and 18, which widens the slot 30 on the side opposite the ends 16a and 18a. he it is thus easy to introduce the strand 14 into the slot 30, up to a length of the bracelet corresponding to the wearer's arm. The upper part 16 is then folded down and the position of the strand 14 is adjusted so that the lug 28 engages in one of the cutouts 15. The bosses 22 then engage in the housings 26, locking part 16 on part 18.

L'ouverture du fermoir se fait simplement en tenant la pièce 16 par ses parois 16c et en tirant vers le haut.The opening of the clasp is done simply by holding the part 16 by its walls 16c and pulling up.

La figure 3 représente un fermoir selon un deuxième mode de réalisation. Sur cette figure, les mêmes pièces portent les mêmes références. Ce fermoir ne diffère que par les moyens de verrouillage utilisés pour rendre solidaires l'une sur l'autre les pièces 16 et 18. Plus précisément, la pièce inférieure 18 est percée d'un trou cylindrique 32, d'axe C-C parallèle à l'axe B-B et reliant les deux faces latérales 18f. Ce trou sert de réceptacle à deux crans à bille 34, du type par exemple vendu par la maison Capsa (Suisse). Par ailleurs, les logements 26 sont avantageusement en forme de calotte sphérique, de manière à ce que la bille du cran 34 puisse épouser la forme du logement.Figure 3 shows a clasp according to a second embodiment. Sure In this figure, the same parts have the same references. This clasp does differs from the locking means used to make one on the other parts 16 and 18. More specifically, the lower part 18 is drilling a cylindrical hole 32, of axis C-C parallel to the axis B-B and connecting the two side faces 18f. This hole serves as a receptacle for two ball notches 34, of the type, for example sold by Capsa (Switzerland). In addition, housings 26 are advantageously in the form of a spherical cap, so that the ball of the notch 34 can match the shape of the housing.

Le fermoir tel que décrit peut, bien entendu, faire l'objet de nombreuses variantes, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Il est ainsi facilement concevable que le verrouillage puisse être réalisé par l'extrémité de l'ergot 28, coopérant avec un organe élastique solidaire de la pièce inférieure 18.The clasp as described can, of course, be the subject of numerous variants, without departing from the scope of the invention. It is so easily conceivable that the locking can be achieved by the end of the lug 28, cooperating with an elastic member secured to the lower part 18.

Les pièces constituant le fermoir sont généralement faites en métal, par exemple en acier inoxydable ou en laiton revêtu d'une couche de protection par galvanoplastie, voire en métaux précieux. Il est également possible d'envisager l'usage de matières plastiques. The parts making up the clasp are generally made of metal, for example example in stainless steel or brass coated with a protective layer by electroplating, even in precious metals. It is also possible to consider the use of plastics.

Le mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple se rapporte à un fermoir pour montre- bracelet. Il est évident que le même fermoir peut être utilisé sans modification dans son principe en maroquinerie, sellerie et bijouterie.The embodiment given by way of example relates to a clasp for wristwatch. Obviously the same clasp can be used without modification in principle in leather goods, saddlery and jewelry.
