Definitions

  • the present invention relates to clasps, of the type intended to connect, removably, the two ends of a bracelet, for example a wristwatch. It is more particularly a folding clasp, comprising two rigid arms, connected to one another in an articulated manner at one of their ends and a notch locking system. The arms can occupy an open position, allowing the wearer of the bracelet to remove or slide the bracelet on the wrist, and a closed position in which the two arms are secured to one another removably by means of the system. locking.
  • one of these clasps resumes a so-called tuning fork structure described in the patent CH 665.536 wherein one of the arms is provided with a rigid piece, the other having a tuning fork structure whose elastic branches engage on both sides of the rigid piece to form a notch and maintain the two arms assembled one on the other.
  • the male part of the locking system comprises a latch movably mounted on its arm and able to occupy a first position in which it is superimposed with the female part and arranged to activate said elastic member when it enters or fate of the female part, and a second position in which it blocks the arms one with reference to the other.
  • said latch is of oblong shape of length L , width I , thickness e and longitudinal axis CC rotatably mounted on said first arm, said latch being at the interface with the other arm, and the female member comprises an opening of longitudinal axis DD passing through said second arm, of length L greater than length L and of width I 'slightly smaller than width I and less than length L and arranged facing said latch when the two arms of the clasp are applied against each other.
  • the lock forms with the opening a member whose parts are connected to one another by a notched engagement, which is formed by the engagement of the sides of the latch and the opening respectively parallel to the DC and DD axes.
  • the CC axis of the latch is parallel to the axis DD of the opening so as to allow the latch to engage.
  • the CC axis of the lock is offset relative to the axis DD of the opening, so as to allow the latch, when the two arms are locked, to prevent their opening.
  • the thickness of the second arm is limited, at the opening, by a recess disposed on its upper face, of a depth substantially equal to the thickness e of the latch, the thickness of the arm, at this point, being slightly less than the height h of the base.
  • the lock is the male part of the locking system notch. It is mounted integral with a lever that protrudes beyond the edge of the arm to allow the wearer to rotate the lock.
  • a clasp for a bracelet is shown.
  • Longitudinal axis AA it comprises two rigid arms, one 10, upper and the other 12, lower, connected to each other by hinge means 14 of axis BB perpendicular to AA, located at one of their ends. Each of their other end is provided with fastening means 16 to a bracelet.
  • the clasp is provided with a notch locking system comprising a male part 18, a female part 20, respectively disposed on the lower arm 12 and upper arm 10, in the vicinity of the fastening means 16 and an elastic member 21, adjacent to the part female.
  • the male part 18 comprises, on the upper face of the lower arm 12, a seat 22 defined by upstream edges 24, situated on the side of the attachment means 16, lateral 26 and downstream 28, located on the side of the hinge 14, and a rectangular latch 30 of length L , of width I , of thickness e and of longitudinal axis CC parallel to AA, disposed on the seat 22.
  • the latch 30 is mounted on a base 32, smaller than the latch and height h .
  • the elastic member 21 consists of two branches 21a and 21b defined by a central slot 34 disposed along the axis AA and through the upper arm 10 in its thickness.
  • the female part 20 consists of a rectangular opening 36 of axis DD parallel to AA, of length L ' greater than the length L of the lock and of width I' slightly smaller than the width I and less than the length L of the lock .
  • the opening 36 is arranged to be superimposed on the latch 30 when the two arms are applied against each other.
  • the width I ' is slightly less than I , the engagement of the latch 30 in the opening 36 forms a notch.
  • the thickness of the arm 10 is limited by a recess 38 disposed on its upper face.
  • the depth of the recess is substantially equal to the thickness e of the latch 30, while the thickness of the arm at this point is slightly less than the height h of the base 32.
  • the latch 30 In the locked position, the latch 30 is housed in the recess 38 and its edges 40 rest on the edges 42 of the opening 36, but this time on the side of the upper face of the upper arm 10.
  • the resistance to the spacing branches 21a and 21b is sufficient to keep the clasp in the locked position in most situations.
  • the latch 30 is pivotally mounted on the seat 22, along an axis EE visible on the figure 2 perpendicular to the plane defined by the seat 22 and passing through its center.
  • An angled lever 44 is integral with the latch 30 and is interposed between the seat 22 and the base 32. It extends beyond the edge of the arm 12 and ends with a knob 45 to allow the carrier to rotate the latch 30 .
  • the first and second positions of the lever 44 are marked by a protrusion 46, disposed on the seat 22 in contact with the lever 44 so that the side of the lever opposite to that which abuts against the seat, is supported on it to form a notch.
  • the lever 44 is sufficiently elastic to simply move from the first to the second position by sliding on the protuberance.
  • the recess 38 is circular and of sufficient size so that, when the clasp is in the locked position ( figure 3b ), the latch 30 is inscribed when it pivots.
  • the lever 44 could also be made in two parts, one rigid adjacent the lock 30, the other flexible, fixed to the first piece by the knob 45 and connecting the base 32 to In this way, the lever 44 is frictionally mounted on the arm 12, thus avoiding any risk of frolicking.
