Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge device for attaching to pivoting one after the other at least two links of a bracelet, this device comprising a bar passing through holes formed in these links, said bar comprising at least one of its ends a hole provided with a tapping, this device further comprising a screw having a thread engaged in said tapping and a head arranged to limit axial fretting of said bar.
  • Such a device is known from numerous technical descriptions.
  • the screw head presents a overhead abutting against a shoulder that presents the piercing of the link.
  • the bracelet consists of a series of links articulated around pivoting bars passing in holes in the links.
  • Each bar is completed at a end with a slotted head and has at the other end a hole provided with a tapping followed by a throat decreasing the section of the hole at this point.
  • a screw provided with a head and a thread followed by a groove can be introduced into the hole of the bar then screwed by force until the throat penetrates the throat of the screw. In this position, the screw is locked thanks to the radial elasticity of the bar while being able to be extracted from the hole if necessary.
  • the present invention in addition to that it obeys the generic definition set out in the first paragraph of this description, is remarkable in that the bar and the screw are provided with means allowing a radial support of an extreme portion of the bar on a portion of the screw head to ensure the tightening of said screw in said bar.
  • a hinge device 1 attaches to pivoting a central link 2 and two side links 3 and 30 of a bracelet 4.
  • the articulation device 1 comprises a bar 5 which passes through holes 6, 7 and 31 formed in these links 2, 3 and 30.
  • the bar 5 comprises at least one of its ends 8 a hole 9 provided with a thread 10 (see Figure 5).
  • the hinge device 1 further comprises a screw 11 having a thread 12 (see Figure 4) engaged in the tapping10 and a head 13 arranged to limit the frolic axial of the bar 5.
  • the head 13 is provided with an overhang 32, capable of abutting against a shoulder 33 made in the link 3 this which thus limits the axial fretting of the bar 5.
  • the bar 5 and the screw 11 are provided with means 14, 15, 16 and 17 allowing a radial support of a portion 18 of the bar 5 on a portion 19 of the screw head 13 to ensure the tightening said screw in said bar.
  • Axial clamping force usually exerted by the thread of the screw on the tapping of the bar is therefore removed and transformed into a radial force exerted by an extreme portion of the bar on a portion of the screw head. There is therefore no risk of damage to the threads and respective tapping.
  • the screw head 13 has an annular recess 14 on its rear part.
  • the end portion 18 of the bar 6 has a skirt 15 capable of penetrating in the annular recess 14.
  • a first frustoconical section 16 is arranged to cooperate with a second frustoconical section 17 disposed between the tapping 10 of the hole 9 of the bar 5 and its skirt 15.
  • the first and second frustoconical sections 16 and 17 are arranged to slide on one another as soon as the moment the skirt 15 enters the annular hollow 14.
  • the bar 5 is a solid rod whose first end 8 is machined to receive the screw 11 and whose second end 21 has a head 22 made of a piece with the rod full.
  • This head 22 is arranged to limit the axial fretting of the bar 5.
  • Figure 1 shows that the head 22 comprises an overhang 37 likely to abut against a shoulder 38 practiced in the link 30.
  • the bar 5 could comprise at each of its ends a screw 11. From even the bar 5 could not be full and have the shape of a machined tube to each of its ends to receive a screw.
