Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for fixing one end of a link, in particular a bracelet, to an object, in particular a watch case, comprising a casing having means • for connecting to said link and two coaxial pins for the connect to said object, at least one of which is slidably mounted between two positions, one retracted, the other protruding from the wall of the casing to engage in an opening of said object, coaxial with a second opening to receive the other of said pins, elastic return means for tending to constantly maintain said sliding pin in the retracted position and an actuating member, associated with a cam, for moving said sliding pin to said other position.
  • EP 876 114 has already proposed a fixing device in which a cam is engaged with the internal ends of two sliding pins pressed by springs against the cam.
  • the cam is slidably mounted in a direction transverse to the sliding axis between the pins and is itself pressed outwards by a spring. In this position, the cam pushes the pegs outwards in the assembly position with the fixing holes of the horns of the watch case. To disengage these pins from these openings, it suffices to exert pressure on the sliding member carrying the cam. However, such pressure can be accidental, thus creating a risk of untimely separation of the bracelet and the watch. We have proposed in this same document means to avoid this risk.
  • One of these means consists in making it possible to arrange the control member of the cam, which has a form of circular pusher, in two angular positions around its axis of revolution, one of which corresponds to an axial locking position. Given the very small diameter that this cam control pusher can have, its rotation without the aid of a tool is problematic to say the least.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy, at least partially, the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for fixing one end of a link, in particular a bracelet, to an object, in particular a watch case according to claim 1.
  • the separation between the bracelet and the box results the spacing of the actuating arm associated with the cam of the housing, so that it is necessary to grasp the free end of the actuating arm and move it away from the box, which cannot be done accidentally , especially if, advantageously, the actuating arm is disposed on the side of the casing intended to come against the arm of the wearer of the wristwatch.
  • the control arm is retained in the folded position against the casing by hooking means.
  • these attachment means are provided by a second concave portion of the cam, located between the first portion of the cam and the actuating arm, to receive the internal ends of the pins pressed into the shape portion concave of the cam, so that it is not only necessary to act on the arm in its folded position, for example by means of a nail slid between the arm and the casing of the device, but it is also necessary to overcome the gripping force of the control arm.
  • a tab is preferably fitted in one of the adjacent faces of the arm or of the housing to allow a nail to be inserted therein in order to raise the control arm.
  • the accompanying drawing illustrates, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment and a variant of the attachment device object of the present invention, from one end of a link, in particular a bracelet, to an object, in particular a watch box.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of this device of a watch case and a portion of bracelet
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view of this device along the axis of the fixing pins, in the retracted position of the pins
  • Figure 3 is the same sectional view similar to Figure 2 in the projecting position of the pins outside the walls of the housing of the device
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the device alone
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of a variant of the previous embodiment.
  • the device illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a fixing casing 1 of generally parallelepiped shape. that, the length of which corresponds substantially to that of the space separating the horns 2 from the watch case 3.
  • the fixing casing 1 is integral with a bar fastening member 4 of a bracelet strand 5.
  • the fastening member 4 can be shaped to have a complementary shape capable of receiving an adjacent link of the bracelet. Therefore, the fastener 4 which, in this example, is shaped to receive a bracelet-type strap leather • can have any suitable shape to that bracelet is designed to connect to a watchcase.
  • a link bracelet it could have an external shape corresponding at least partially to that of the links of the bracelet in order to integrate with the bracelet.
  • the mechanism of the fixing device proper is more particularly illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3 where it is represented in the two inactive, respectively active positions.
  • This mechanism comprises two pole pins 6, 7, each slidably mounted in two coaxial bores 8a, 9a, 8b, 9b.
  • the bores 8a, 8b are of larger diameters than the bores 9a, 9b and are used for the sliding of the rear parts ⁇ a, respectively 7a of larger diameters of the pins ⁇ and 7.
  • annular spaces formed between the spans connecting the rear parts 6a , 7a of the dowels 6, 7 on the one hand and the bearing surfaces connecting the bores 8a, 9a, respectively '8b, "9b ' on the other hand, serve to receive two return springs in helices 10, respectively 11 which are compressed between the two spans and thereby exert on each pin 6, 7 an axial force which tends to apply the internal ends of these two pins 6, 7 one against the other, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • An arm 12 is articulated at one of its ends around an axis 13 to the fixing casing 1.
  • a cam 14 extends laterally to this arm 12 in the direction of the casing 1 which has an opening la to allow the passage of this cam 14.
  • the cam 14 has a part 14b, if the section of the cam 14 is circular, or two symmetrical parts 14b if the section of the cam 14 is rectangular, of concave shapes intended to receive the domed internal ends s of the dowels 6, 7.
  • a tab 15 (FIG. 4) is preferably formed on one of the adjacent faces of the actuating arm 12 or of the housing. fixing 1.
  • the fixing device does not require any modification of the watch case or the strap.
  • the pegs 6, 7 simply replace the usual bars, as for the bracelet, it is preferably delivered provided with the fixing device according to the invention, therefore ready to be fixed to the watch case.
  • the actuating arm 12 articulated at one end to the casing 1 could, as a variant, for example, be replaced by an actuating member 16 mounted on the casing 1 by means of guide elements 17 intended to come into engagement with complementary guide elements 18, integral with the fixing casing 1, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
