Definitions
- the present invention relates to a strap, in particular a watch strap.
- leather watch straps are known.
- watch straps without clasp formed by one or two arched leaf springs, sheathed in leather and resiliently elastic around the wrist.
- metal bracelets formed of links articulated around axes transverse to the bracelet, giving it a flexibility capable of allowing it to adapt to the shape of the wrist.
- link bracelets allow you to make bracelets of several colors, using different metals. These metals can be noble metals or stainless steel or a mixture of the two for example. You can also set precious stones on these links.
- no bracelet is known, in particular a watch bracelet, formed of articulated leather elements like metal bracelets. This material does not lend itself well to this type of bracelets and its production would pose difficult and expensive problems to solve, given the small size of the elements to be assembled and the nature of the material.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a solution to this problem.
- the subject of the present invention is a bracelet, in particular a watch bracelet, as defined by claim 1.
- the appearance of such a bracelet is obviously surprising, given the articulation of small adjacent leather elements for forming a bracelet seems contrary to the nature of leather.
- leather is a naturally flexible material, the articulation 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 makes it possible to combine leather links with links or other metallic elements, or even with metallic elements set with precious stones.
- Figure 1 is a top view of this embodiment
- Figure 2 is a top view of one of the elements forming the bracelet of Figure 1
- Figure 3 is a sectional view along III-III of Figure 2
- Figure 4 is a top view of another element forming the bracelet
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view along V-V of FIG. 4.
- the bracelet illustrated in Figure 1 is formed of two kinds of elements, central elements 1 which have a square or rectangular shape, as can be seen in Figure 2 and which have inside this square a diamond the in relief.
- central elements 1 which have a square or rectangular shape, as can be seen in Figure 2 and which have inside this square a diamond the in relief.
- two central elements 1 are arranged side by side, two triangular spaces are formed between the edges of the diamonds in relief la. These spaces are occupied by two lateral elements 2 of generally triangular shapes which extend laterally outside the central elements 1 and whose external lateral edges are convex.
- the part of these lateral elements 2 which covers the central elements 1 has a reduced thickness to enable them to cover the thinner parts of these central elements 1 situated between the diamonds la. Holes are formed along transverse axes 3 through the central elements 1 and the part of the lateral elements 2 which projects laterally from the central elements 1 to allow the passage of the articulation axes which can be fixed by screwing, riveting, welding for example .
- the screwing has the advantage of being able to easily change an element of the bracelet if necessary.
- circular decorative elements 4 project at the four angles of the diamond in relief la.
- Light spaces 5 are provided between the adjacent parallel edges of the raised diamonds la of the central elements 1 and of the triangular lateral elements 2. These spaces 5 are of the order of some tenths of mm and are intended to give a certain degree of freedom to allow the elements 1, 2 of the bracelet a limited pivoting around the transverse articulation axes 3 connecting these elements together. These spaces 5 are also calculated to allow the diamonds in relief of the central elements to be coated, as well as the lateral edges 1b (FIG. 3) of these diamonds and the entire external surface of the lateral elements 2, including the internal and external lateral faces. of these side elements 2 of a very thin layer of a material magpie, in particular of leather 6.
- this layer of leather 6 can be of the order of a tenth of a mm. It can advantageously be glued to the visible surfaces of the elements 1 and 2 which serve as a substrate for it.
- the elements 1, 2 thus coated appear as leather elements. Only, in this example, the circular decorative elements 4 are not coated and reveal metal, for example gold. These elements could also be shaped to allow diamonds to be set, for example. It is obvious that these elements 4 are not essential to the realization of the present invention which applies to all types of bracelets with articulated elements covered with leather 6 or other flexible material and giving the impression of a leather bracelet with elements articulated.
- leather bracelets of several colors as is done for metal bracelets and to obtain completely new effects. We could also mix leather with other flexible materials, it is also possible to play on leathers of different textures. It is also possible not to cover all the elements of the bracelets with leather.
- the present invention offers creators possibilities of extremely varied combinations.
- the bracelet could have a shape completely different from that of the bracelet illustrated.
- the internal face of the bracelet adjacent to the arm is covered with a leather band, thus concealing the metal substrates.
