- a device for fine adjustment of the useful length of a bracelet in particular a watch strap comprising two strands and a clasp for connecting the free ends of said strands to make it possible to connect these free ends with a determined useful length.
- Several solutions have already been proposed for making it possible to make a modification to the initial setting of the useful length of a bracelet, in particular a watchband.
- This kind of adjustment is of particular interest in the case of clasps known as clasps with folding blades or branches, in which the ends of the bracelet remain attached to the free ends of the blades or branches articulated to each other. clasp, so that the useful length of the bracelet can only be changed by changing the initial setting.
- this adjustment requires the use of tools and a certain skill, so that it is not accessible to all
- one of the branches of the clasp is telescopic and has a number of apertures to allow the latching members of the other leg to attach to different lengths of the telescopic leg.
- CH 663 522 and WO 03/015562 both comprise, between the two articulated branches, a small articulated link It can be tilted in two positions, one in which its length is added to that of the branches and the other in which it is removed from that of the branches, making it possible to vary the useful length of the brace. between two specific values.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
- this invention relates to a device for fine adjustment of the useful length of a bracelet, including a watchband, according to claim 1.
- the adjustment device object of this invention has several advantages, that of allow almost continuous adjustment over a range of several millimeters, typically on a range corresponding to half the width of the bracelet. This adjustment is made without the need to open the clasp, making it the easiest adjustment device to use that one can imagine. Thanks to this characteristic, the wearer of the bracelet realizes in real time the effect of the adjustment, which allows him to make a precise adjustment, especially since this device allows him to modify the useful length in very small increments. on an adjustment range comprising three to four times more adjustment positions than the known devices. Finally, this device is of extremely simple construction and can be easily dismantled and reassembled to perform a cleaning if necessary.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a folding clasp associated with an embodiment of the adjusting device and connected to the two free ends of a bracelet;
- Figure 2 is a sectional view of the adjusting device only cut along the line II-II of Figure 3;
- Figure 3 is a top plan view of the adjusting device of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is a top plan view of the fixed adjustment member of the adjusting device;
- Figure 6 is a top view of a first variant of the adjustment device;
- Figure 7 is a top view with cutaway of a second variant of the adjustment device;
- Figure 8 is a view along the line VIII-VIII of Figure 11;
- Figures 9 and 10 are views similar to Figure 8 in two other positions of the adjusting device;
- Figure 11 is a sectional view along the line XI-XI of Figure 8;
- Figure 12 is a partial perspective view of the adjustment device showing the inner face of the first adjustment member.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a preferred form of the invention in which the adjustment device which is the subject of the invention is associated with a clasp with blades or articulated branches binding the two free ends of the bracelet and generally called clasp blades or folding arms or clasp.
- This clasp of known type therefore comprises two bent branches 1, 2 articulated to one another and held in the folded position by separable attachment means (not shown).
- One of the strands 3a of the bracelet is connected by a fixing bar 4 to the free end of the branch 1 of the clasp, while the free end of the branch 2 of this clasp is connected by a bar 5 to the adjustment device 6 object of the invention;
- This adjusting device 6 essentially comprises a first adjusting member 7 having the shape of a disc connected to the clasp 1, 2 by the bar 5, the ends of which are fixed in two parallel and diametrically opposite fastening tabs 7c, which extend perpendicularly below the disk forming the first adjustment member 7.
- This bar 5 passes through the free end of the branch 2 of the clasp located between the fixing lugs 7c of the disc 7. Consequently, the first adjustment member 7 of the adjustment device 6 is connected by the two curved branches 1, 2 of the clasp at the end of the strand 3a of the bracelet, thus ensuring a fixed position of the first adjustment member 7 relative to the longitudinal axis of the strand 3a of the bracelet.
- This first adjustment member 7 comprises a circular lateral surface 7a which serves as a guiding surface for a second manual adjustment member 8, also in the form of a disk provided with a circular rim having an inner circular guide inner surface 8f engaged with the circular guide surface 7a.
- These two circular guide surfaces 7a, 8f are held engaged by two latches 10, as illustrated in FIG. 4, allowing the inner circular guide surface 8f to rotate about the circumferential guide surface. Eyelet 7a.
- This second manual adjustment member 8 also forms a closure cover for the adjustment device 6.
- the first adjustment member 7 also comprises guide means which, in this example, are in the form of a rectilinear guide opening 7b radially oriented and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet. .
- This rectilinear guide opening 7b, radially oriented is engaged with a connecting member 9 slidably mounted in this rectilinear guide opening 7b radially oriented.
- This connecting member 9 is still engaged on the one hand, with an arcuate opening 8a formed through the second manual adjustment member 8 and on the other hand, with one of the perforations 11 for fixing and the preliminary adjustment of length, arranged through the second strand 3b of the bracelet.
- the two ends of the arcuate opening 8a are located on the same diameter of the manual adjustment member 8.
- the arcuate opening 8a has the general shape of a half-ring whose center C is located near this same diameter. As illustrated in Figure 4, the outer edge of this opening 8a has a notch 8b for cooperating with the connecting member 9 for the purpose that will be explained later.
- the role of the notch 8b formed along the outer edge of the arcuate opening 8a is to allow to retain the connecting member 9 in different positions, when the member 9 is subjected to a centrifugal force relative to the manual adjustment device 8 This force can result from putting under a certain tension of the bracelet.
- a friction disc 13 is still housed between the two adjustment members 7 and 8.
- This friction disc 13 is a bent spring disk, designed to create friction between the two adjustment members 7 and 8, to prevent the second member manual adjustment 8 is able to rotate freely relative to the first.
- this friction disc 13 is traversed by the connecting member 9 and is housed in a circular recess 8c centered on the center C of the arcuate opening 8a, so that the disc of friction 13 is rotated about the center C, when the second manual adjustment member 8 is rotated, thereby continuously blocking the arcuate opening 8a.
- the second adjustment member 8 "has an internal toothing 8" e engaged with a pinion 16 pivotally mounted on the first fixed adjustment member 7 and meshing with a rack 17 radially oriented and parallel to the opening Rectangular guide 7b radially oriented and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet of the first adjustment member 7.
- the connecting member 9 is simultaneously engaged with the rectilinear guide opening 7b and with the rack 17.
- a pawl 18 is engaged with a second set of teeth 17a for positioning the adjusting device in different positions.
- the connecting member 29 is integral with an elongated slide 29a mounted in a diametric slide 27b formed in the first adjustment member 27.
- This elongated slide 29a has a projection 29b 29c at each end.
- the second manual adjustment member 28 is guided in rotation by the circular lateral surface 27a of the first adjustment member
- the driving grooves 28a, 28b each comprise an active portion in semicircular circular arc, the two semicircular portions of the same radius being aligned with respect to the same diameter of the second manual adjustment member
- This variant with two drive grooves 28a, 28b for alternately engaging two projections 29b, 29c of the slider 29a allows to double the range of adjustment, relative to the first embodiment.
- This adjustment range is shown by the displacement of the slider 29a, from its position shown in FIG. 8 to that illustrated in FIG. 10, and corresponds to a 360 ° rotation of the manual adjustment member 28.
- the latter 28b has an end 28bi located beyond its semicircular active portion, to temporarily engage with the projection 29c at the moment when the projection 29b is at the intersection between the driving grooves 28a, 28b, as illustrated in FIG. 9.
- the groove 28b is deeper than the groove 28a and the projection 29c is longer than the projection 29b, so that the crossover problem does not arise when the projection 29c crosses the groove 28b. re 28a. It can also be seen in Figures 8 to 10 that apart from the active portions of the grooves 28a, 28b defined above, the width of these grooves 28a, 28b increases, to allow simultaneous guidance only with the aid of only one of the two grooves 28a, 28b.
- the center of the second manual adjustment member 28 comprises a circular opening in which a fixed indicator member 34 is located which has, on its internal face, a diametric slide 34a in engagement with the slide 29a.
