Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security and adaptable system for a bracelet.
  • This invention is characterized by the fact that elongated elements (1) slide with one another, thus making it possible to adapt the length of the bracelet to the size of the wrist.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide a new solution to these adjustment problems by creating elongated elements which can be adapted at any time, easily and by means of a single maneuver.
  • the wearer of the bracelet can thus adapt the length of the bracelet according to the size of his wrist when he wishes, without any auxiliary means (eg tools) and without requiring the assistance of a third person.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a safety device for a bracelet including a system for adjusting the circumferential length of the bracelet. This system comprises; first and second curvilinear elongated elements, each having a slot and a plurality of notches; a clasp comprising a third curvilinear elongated element having a set of grooves, wherein the grooves receive one of the first or second elongated elements for slidably gliding the elements relative to one another, and a fourth curvilinear elongated element; a button slidably secured in each slot of said first and second curvilinear elongated elements to slidably secure said first and second curvilinear elongated elements together; a set of stop reliefs are provided within said grooves for limiting the sliding motion of the first and second curvilinear elongated elements. The third and fourth curvilinear elongated elements are engaged with one another after the safety device is adjusted to a desired position in order to lock the device in that desired position.

Description

Système de sécurité et adaptable pour braceletSecurity system and adaptable for bracelet
DescriptionDescription
La présente invention se rapporte à un système de sécurité et adaptable pour bracelet. Cette invention est caractérisée par le fait que des éléments allongés (1) se coulissent les uns avec les autres permettant ainsi d'adapter la longueur du bracelet à la grandeur du poignet.The present invention relates to a security and adaptable system for a bracelet. This invention is characterized by the fact that elongated elements (1) slide with one another, thus making it possible to adapt the length of the bracelet to the size of the wrist.
Tous les matériaux adéquats à l'invention peuvent être utilisés pour la production.All materials suitable for the invention can be used for production.
Etat de la techniqueState of the art
Aujourd'hui, on connaît les systèmes de sécurité pour bracelet comportant les boucles dépliantes se rabattant les unes sur les autres. Plusieurs systèmes brevetés, (p.ex. No US4424611, No US5771543, No JP10127318, No US2394856, montrent qu'il est possible de régler la longueur du bracelet. Dans ce cas, le réglage doit faire appel à une manœuvre d'un horloger-bijoutier ou à une utilisation d'un outil approprié. De plus, la flexibilité de l'allongement est moindre.Today, security systems for wristbands are known, including folding buckles that fold over each other. Several patented systems, (eg No US4424611, No US5771543, No JP10127318, No US2394856, show that it is possible to adjust the length of the bracelet. In this case, the adjustment must call for a maneuver by a watchmaker - jeweler or the use of an appropriate tool, and the flexibility of elongation is less.
L'objectif de la présente invention est d'apporter une solution nouvelle à ces problèmes d'ajustement en créant des éléments allongés qui peuvent être adaptés à tout moment, de manière aisée et à l'aide d'une seule manœuvre. Le porteur du bracelet peut ainsi adapter quand il le souhaite la longueur du bracelet en fonction de la grandeur de son poignet sans aucun moyen auxiliaire (p.ex. outillage) et sans faire appel à une tierce personne.The objective of the present invention is to provide a new solution to these adjustment problems by creating elongated elements which can be adapted at any time, easily and by means of a single maneuver. The wearer of the bracelet can thus adapt the length of the bracelet according to the size of his wrist when he wishes, without any auxiliary means (eg tools) and without requiring the assistance of a third person.
Bien que les systèmes brevetés cités ci-dessus soient satisfaisants, ils ne représentent en aucun cas les mêmes caractéristiques que cette invention.Although the patented systems cited above are satisfactory, they in no way represent the same characteristics as this invention.
J'ai effectué des recherches à l'aide de spécialistes sur le site www.espacenet.ch relatif à la recherche internationale de brevets et n'ai pas trouvé un système coulissant tel que mon invention. I carried out research with the help of specialists on the site www.espacenet.ch relating to the international search of patents and did not find a sliding system such as my invention.

Claims

LES REVENDICATIONS THE REVENDICATIONS
1. Dispositif de sécurité pour bracelet permettant à chaque individu une adaptation de la longueur du bracelet en fonction de la grandeur de son poignet et ceci à l'aide d'une simple manœuvre, caractérisée par un effet de coulisse des éléments allongés (1).1.

2. Dispositif de sécurité selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé par un maintien des éléments allongés (1) avec des fentes (2) et des rainures (3) sur les dits éléments allongés (1).2. Safety device according to claim 1, characterized by holding the elongated elements (1) with slots (2) and grooves (3) on said elongated elements (1).
3. Dispositif de sécurité selon la revendication 1, caractérisé par des rainures (3) munies de crans d'arrêt (7) ou de rétrécissements coniques.3. Safety device according to claim 1, characterized by grooves (3) provided with stop notches (7) or conical narrowing.
4. Dispositif de sécurité selon la revendication 1 , caractérisé par le bouton recto-verso (4) permettant le maintien des éléments allongés (1) et la collaboration dans l'arrêt de ces derniers.4. Safety device according to claim 1, characterized by the double-sided button (4) allowing the maintenance of the elongated elements (1) and collaboration in stopping them.
5. Dispositif de sécurité selon les revendications 1 à 4, caractérisé par la possibilité d'utiliser d'autres systèmes d'accrochage existants ou nouveaux.5. Safety device according to claims 1 to 4, characterized by the possibility of using other existing or new attachment systems.
6. Dispositif de sécurité selon les revendications 1 à 5, représenté par un fermoir composé d'une pièce coulissante (6a) munie de dents et d'une pièce fixe (6b) munie d'une multitude de trous. Ces deux pièces coulissent jusqu'à l'obtention de la largeur souhaitée en fonction de la grandeur du poignet. Une fois cette largeur définie, la pièce coulissante (6a) et la pièce fixe (6b) s'interpénétrent latéralement grâce à un système de coulisse et bloquent parfaitement le bracelet. 6. Safety device according to claims 1 to 5, represented by a clasp composed of a sliding part (6a) provided with teeth and a fixed part (6b) provided with a multitude of holes. These two pieces slide until the desired width is obtained depending on the size of the wrist. Once this width is defined, the sliding part (6a) and the fixed part (6b) interpenetrate laterally thanks to a sliding system and perfectly block the bracelet.
