- the second end 7 of the curved tab 4 has a hole in which is housed a second bar 6 connecting it with a first blade 8 in an articulated manner.
- a second blade 9 is secured to the first blade 8 by means of a third bar 6, the second blade 9 being itself secured to the second end piece 3 by means of a fourth bar 6, the latter also allowing a relative pivoting of the blades 8 and 9 and the part 3.
- a first control member 11 of the locking means of the device is arranged on a first side of the first extremal piece 2.
- Figure 2 shows, in top view, the first configuration, short of the extensible device 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the extremal parts 2 and 3 each comprise a central element 20, 30, disposed between two lateral elements 21, 31.
- the central and lateral elements 20 of the first extremal part 2 are formed together in one piece in the mode. embodiment shown.
- the elements 30 and 31 of the second extremal piece 3 are distinct and made integral with each other by means of a bar 32, driven into the lateral elements, allowing their relative pivoting with respect to the central element.
- the locking means of the extensible device 1 are visible in transparency in Figure 2, the device having two control members 11, arranged on either side of the first end piece 2.
- Each control member 11, arranged on the outer side of a respective lateral element 21, has the shape of a ring comprising a threaded hole in its face facing the corresponding lateral element.
- a rod 22 is engaged in a hole 25 adapted from each of the lateral elements 21. This has a first threaded end 23, screwed into the corresponding control member, and a second end 24 which opens out from the opposite side of the corresponding side element to form a lug.
- the locking means comprise a disc 26, rigidly attached to the rod 22, to define a first bearing surface of a coil spring 27.
- a ring 28 is housed, in a fixed position, to the the entrance of the hole 25, on the side of the control member, to define a second bearing surface of the spring 27. Due to this structure, the spring acts simultaneously on the disc 26 and the ring 28 to maintain the control member 1 1 and the rod 22 in the depressed position, shown in Figure 2.
- the second end piece 3 has two blind holes 32 formed in its side faces so that they are aligned with each other and both with respect to the rods 22 when the extensible device is in its short configuration.
- the second end piece 3 has a bead 33 (visible in Figure 1), projecting on its underside and, having a hole (visible in Figure 3) to accommodate the bar 6 allowing connect it to the second blade 9.
- the dimensions of the bead 33 are such that it has a shape substantially complementary to that of the recess 10 of the bent tab 4 of the first end piece 2.
- the dimensions of the various elements constituting the locking means are preferably adapted so that the lugs of the free ends 24 of the rods 22 retract completely inside the lateral elements 21 of the first end piece 2, thus releasing the second extremal piece 3, in response to a pull exerted by a user on the two control members 1 1 by simultaneously spacing the extremal parts.
- This unlocking operation makes it possible to pass the extensible device according to the present invention from its short configuration to a long configuration, represented in FIG. 3.
- the fact of retracting the lugs of the locking means makes it possible to release the second extremal piece 3 with respect to the first extremal piece 2.
- the blades 8 and 9 are then free to pivot relative to each other. to the other, around the bar 6 ensuring their connection.
- the maximum length of the extensible device 1 is obtained when the two blades 8 and 9 are arranged substantially in the extension of one another.
- the blades 8 and 9 must be brought back to one another by a reverse pivoting movement around the bar 6 connecting them. This movement is carried out in such a way that the bead 33 of the second end piece 3 is inserted into the recess 10 of the curved lug 4.
- the rods 22 are pushed back inside the lateral elements 21 under the pressure of the central element 30.
- the free ends 24 of the rods each have a chamfer (not visible) of straight or curved slope.
- the central element 30 has grooves (not shown), in its lateral faces, in the form of ramps, to allow the exercise of an axial force on the ends 24 of the rods 22 during operation. insertion of the central element 30 between the lateral elements 21. It is well understood that such ramps should preferably extend from the underside of the central element 30 to open into the holes 32.
- each of the ramps coincides ideally with the position of the ends 24 when the springs 27 are extended to the maximum.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 show the presence of holes 29, 34 intended to house bars for connecting links or bracelet strands in a known manner.
- Figure 4 shows a side view of the extensible device 1 previously described when assembled with a particular bracelet, as an example.
- the bracelet 40 shown is of the metal link type comprising two strands 41 and 42. Each strand comprises an end link 43 intended to be connected to a watch case (not shown). Moreover, the two strands 41 and 42 are connected to each other by means of a clasp folding blades 44 of conventional type. Those skilled in the art may in particular implement a clasp such as that described in patent application WO 2004/086895 A1, filed in the name of the
