Definitions
- the present invention relates to an articulated bracelet, particularly for a watch, comprising an articulated chain, composed of metal links connected two by two by hinges, and a series of decorative tubular links slipped on said chain and being able to bear longitudinally against each other. the other by their respective front faces, each decorative link having at least one longitudinal passage in which a metal link and a hinge associated therewith are housed and can abut against an inner surface of a lower wall of the decorative link in the region of the hinge when the hinge has a folded position.
- the invention also relates to a decorative link used in such a bracelet.
- Watchbands of this kind are described in particular in the patent publications CH 684 988, EP 549 979 and EP 1 136 011 and their decorative links are preferably made of a hard ceramic material, so able to resist scratching and to present a beautiful shiny appearance for many, many years.
- these materials have the disadvantage of a certain fragility and they resist less well than metallic materials to the tensile forces and bending.
- it happens in certain circumstances that the articulated chain through the tubular decorative links imposes efforts of this kind to some of them and burst one of their walls, which requires replacing the broken link. Incidents of this kind are very unfortunate when it comes to high-end items.
- bracelets are articles where aesthetics play a big role, we can not always strengthen these links by a significant increase in the thickness of their walls. There is therefore a need to remedy this situation at least partially by other means.
- the present invention is based on the idea that the aforementioned fractures of ceramic links can result from parasitic bending forces produced in a transverse direction by the support of the hinge on the bottom of the link, when the abutment areas of the surfaces. Both end links are relatively far laterally from the bearing zone of the hinge, as will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.
- the principle of the solution provided in this invention therefore consists in arranging the mutually opposite end faces of the decorative links so as to locate their zones of stop as close as possible to each zone where the hinge rests on the bottom of the link.
- a bracelet of the kind indicated above in the preamble characterized in that a front face of each decorative link has in its lower part at least one bump located in the same region of the width of the decorative link that said inner surface on which rests the hinge or the metal link, this boss being arranged to abut against the opposite end face of the adjacent decorative link when the hinge has said folded position.
- a tubular decorative link ceramic material for a bracelet comprising at least one longitudinal passage in which a flexible or articulated link is housed and can be supported against an inner surface of a lower wall of the decorative link, characterized in that it comprises, in a lower part of one of its front faces, at least one bump located in the same region of the width of the decorative link that said inner surface where the link, said lower portion of the front face being inclined inwardly of the link relative to a plane perpendicular to the direction of said longitudinal passage.
- Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a watch strap in which the present invention is applied.
- Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the bracelet of Figure 1, showing in particular two series of decorative tubular links and two articulated metal chains on which the decorative links will be threaded.
- Figure 3 is an enlarged schematic view in longitudinal section showing two adjacent decorative links and the chain portion they contain, in a folded position of the hinge contained in one of the links.
- Figure 4 is a front view of one of the decorative links of the bracelet.
- FIG. 5 is a view in longitudinal section along the line V-V of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of detail VI of FIG.
- the watch strap 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises, in known manner, two bracelet strands 2 and 3, each comprising a series of tubular decorative links 4 and a metal chain 5 on which the decorative links 4, which are made, are threaded. preferably a hard ceramic material.
- One end of each chain 5 is attached to an attachment element 6, 7 of a folding clasp 8 which is provided with its own decorative element 9, while its other end is intended to be attached to the case of a watch .
- Each chain 5 consists of a series of metal links 11 each of which is connected to the next by a hinge 12 with a transverse axis, this hinge having a pin 13 inserted through the respective knuckles 14 and 15 of the adjacent links 11.
- Each decorative link 4 contains one of the metal links 11 of the chain 5 and one of the hinges 12.
- the general structure of the bracelet 1 may be similar to that described in the patent application EP 1 136 011, which is hereby incorporated by reference and to which the reader can refer for further details on this subject.
- each decorative link 4 comprises a longitudinal passage 20 in which the flat central portion 21 of one of the metal links 11 of the chain and the hinge 12 connecting this metal link to the following take place.
- each metal link 11 comprises two flat portions 21 juxtaposed and separated by a gap, as in the constructions described in the publications CH 684 988 and EP 1 136 011, but it is understood that the present invention is can be used in bracelets using different chains, provided that they comprise at least one hinge housed inside a decorative link.
- the hinge 12 is housed in a clearance 22 at the entrance of the passage 20, this clearance opening on the first end face 23 of the decorative link 4.
- the chain link 11 located in the right decorative link 4 also extends, by its knuckle 15, in the entry clearance 22 of the left decorative link.
- the bracelet can take a curved configuration thanks to the angular clearance of the hinges 12 of the chain.
- This angular clearance is limited to the folded position shown in FIG. 3, where the lower part of the front face 23 of the decorative link of left abuts against the lower part of the opposite end face 24 of the right decorative link. Consequently, the link on the right exerts a force represented by the arrow A on the lower part of the front face 23 of the other decorative link 4.
- This force is balanced by an equivalent tension in the chain. Due to the bent position of the hinge 12, this tension has the effect that the hinge 12 rests on an inner surface 26 of the passage 20 with a force F substantially perpendicular to the bearing surface 26.
- Figures 4 to 6 show an example of arrangement of the decorative link 4 which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.
- This link is a one-piece element of ceramic material, manufactured in known manner by molding and sintering, followed by polishing if necessary.
- the tubular shape of the link here comprises two longitudinal passages 20, separated by a median partition 28 which connects the bottom 27 of the link to the upper wall 30 and which has an end 29 at the bottom of the clearance of entry 22, to leave room for the hinge.
- the bottom of the recess also comprises, on either side of each passage 20, lateral shoulders 31 and lower 32 against which the hinge can bear in the longitudinal direction.
- each end face 23, 24 has a profile inclined towards the inside of the link with respect to a plane perpendicular to the direction of the longitudinal passage 20, from a horizontal line 23b, 24b located at the of the hinge axis, to allow the hinge to bend to a limit angle without inducing significant tension in the chain and without the chain becomes visible from above.
- the front face 23 has, on its lower part 23a, two bumps 34 of thin (less than 0.5 mm, for example 0.08 mm) each located below the middle of one of the passages 20, that is to say in the same regions of the width of the link 4 that the two interior surfaces 26 described above.
- each bump 34 has a width substantially equal to that of the knuckle of the chain 5 resting on the surface 26 above it, but of course it could be a little wider or narrower.
- This charnon may be given an outer diameter slightly larger than that of the knuckles taking place next to it, in order to locate the support of the chain in the said regions of the width of the link 4.
- each bump 34 preferably has a prismatic shape which has an inclined flat surface 35 intended to abut against the substantially flat lower portion 24a of the adjacent link.
- the bearing force represented by the arrow A in FIG. 3 will be distributed over the width of each bump and will have a rising vertical component which balances the downward vertical force F precisely in each region of the width of the link 4 where the force F applies. Tests have shown that this prevents the breaks mentioned in the introduction.
- the example described here refers to two bumps on one of the front faces of each decorative link, one skilled in the art will understand that the invention also extends to other numbers and / or disposition of the bumps, in particular depending on the width and configuration of the chain links and decorative links.
- the support of the chain on the lower surface 26 of the decorative link does not necessarily occur via the hinge 12, but can be done via another part of the metal link 11.
- decorative links according to the invention can be used with a flexible link instead of the articulated link formed by the chain mentioned here.
