Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bracelet clasp, in particular a folding buckle clasp for a watch strap.
  • the adjustment is done in steps corresponding to a link length. Precise adjustment in the case of large links is therefore not possible. Moreover, once the adjustment is made, it is difficult to change, for example to increase the comfort during an effort or when the watch must be worn over a suit or a combination.
  • CH669501 discloses a detent mechanism integral with the clasp. This device allows only a step adjustment corresponding to the distance between two notches, and requires opening the clasp for adjustment. It would however be desirable to be able to adjust the length of the bracelet with the folded clasp, so as to feel the effect of the change immediately.
  • AT360258 describes a mechanism for adjusting the length of a bracelet using a wheel whose actuation produces the winding strands of the bracelet around the axis of rotation of the wheel. This axis is perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet. This device is only suitable for bracelets the end of which is sufficiently flexible to wrap around an axis inside the clasp. The width of the clasp must be important to accommodate the wrapped bracelet.
  • US2005 / 0237864 discloses a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet using a control wheel which causes the sliding of a strand on rails. This adjustment mechanism is not integrated in a clasp. The axis of the wheel is perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet. This solution also requires the winding of a strand around the axis of the wheel.
  • US4977614 discloses a device for adjusting the length of a notched strap with a caster adjuster near the casing.
  • the axis of the roulette is parallel to the plane of the bracelet. This solution requires a bracelet whose upper surface is provided with notches
  • EP1588642 discloses a clasp bracelet with folding clasp implementing a wheel whose axis is once again perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet.
  • a toothed wheel is mounted on the axis of the wheel to engage two racks under the cover of the clasp. This solution is complex and requires a very wide clasp to accommodate the toothed wheel and two racks under the cover.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a bracelet clasp for fine adjustment of the length of the bracelet and free of the mitat ions known clasps.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a simple manufacturing clasp, reliable, easy to handle, and comfortable to wear.
  • Another object is to allow a sufficient adjustment range, for example close to half a link length.
  • a bracelet clasp for assembling a first and a second strand of a bracelet to open or enlarge the bracelet, comprising a threaded rod parallel to the plane of the bracelet.
  • the threaded rod is connected to a first movable strand of the bracelet.
  • a wheel whose longitudinal position is fixed relative to the second strand of the bracelet can be rotated so as to screw or unscrew the rod in the wheel or in the first strand, so as to move the first strand relative to the wheel.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a folded clasp according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of an open clasp according to the invention, seen from below, the wheel being at a first end of the adjustment range.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of an open clasp according to the invention, seen from below, the wheel being at a second end of the adjustment range.
  • Figure 4 is a bottom view of a folded clasp according to the invention.
  • the longitudinal direction of the bracelet is defined in the plane of the bracelet as the direction of maximum elongation of the bracelet.
  • the transverse direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in the plane of the bracelet; it is usually the direction of the pins linking the links of the bracelet between them.
  • the underside of the bracelet or clasp is the face facing the wrist when the bracelet is worn; the outer face is opposite to the lower face.
  • the bracelet clasp illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a metal cover 10 closing over the operating blades 5, 8.
  • the cover is formed from a metal plate of uniform thickness stamped and folded.
  • Machined machined covers are also conceivable.
  • the exploding blades illustrated have a central blade 5 which is housed in the folded position in a space between the two arms of a stretcher 8.
  • the blade 5 and the stretcher 8 occupy a single thickness in the folded position as on Figure 4.
  • Others Deployant blade constructions, including butterfly type clamps, may be used within the scope of the invention.
  • the clasp can be locked using a push mechanism 12 described in the application WO2006079605 in the name of the applicant.
  • the pushers 12 can be pushed against the action of not shown springs to move stops 14 in the mushroom shape in a transverse direction.
  • the abutments 14 are pushed by the springs towards the outside of each side of the clasp, so as to prevent the deployment of the branches of the stretcher 8 whose edge of the recesses 15 is retained.
  • To open the clasp it is necessary to press the pushers 12 to move the two stops 14 to the openings 16 on the edge of the central blade 5, whose diameter is sufficient for the passage thrust heads and blade deployment.
  • the central blade 5 is hingedly connected to the lid 10 via an axis 13.
  • the stretcher 8 is also hingedly connected to a second strand of the bracelet 3 or to a connecting piece with the second strand.
  • the first strand of the bracelet 2 is linked to the clasp by a mechanism allowing it to slide longitudinally so as to adjust the length of the bracelet.
  • this mechanism comprises a wheel 18 mounted on a fobed rod 20. It is sufficient that at least a portion of the outer faces of the rod 20 is f iletée.
  • the axis of the wheel and the rod are both parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet.
  • a portion of the lateral face of the wheel 18 passes through a rectangular window 24 on the upper face 29 of the lid 10, so as to allow manipulation of the wheel without opening the clasp.
  • the wheel preferably protrudes a few millimeters at most above the face 29. The majority of the volume of the wheel is thus permanently under the surface of the cover.
  • the side faces the wheel are provided with a groove profile and / or rib 19 to facilitate its grip.
  • the threaded rod 12 and the knob 18 are connected to the inner face of the cover in this example by a bow 22 visible in particular in FIG. 3.
  • the bow comprises two thrust parts on either side of the wheel, which are traversed by the rod 20 with enough clearance to allow it to rotate and / or slide.
  • the two f lancs are I to each other by arches parallel to the lid and against which the stretcher 8 comes to abut when the clasp is folded. This avoids a pressure of the blades 8, 8 of the clasp against the wheel 18.
  • Other equivalent stop members may be provided to limit the stroke of the blades 5.8 against the inner face of the lid.
  • the threaded rod 20 is engaged in an unillustrated tapped hole inside the wheel 18, so that the rotation of the wheel causes the screwing or unscrewing of the rod in the wheel 18 and an axial displacement of the rod which drives the first strand 2.
  • the fetted rod 20 is integral with the wheel 18 and rotates with it; the other end of this rod is engaged in a tapped hole in the strand 2, which moves longitudinally when the rod rotates with the wheel. This variant allows easier assembly of the clasp.
  • the end of the strand 2 is guided during its longitudinal displacement by the inner faces of the cover 10. More specifically, the strand is guided laterally between the lateral faces 27, and in height between the upper face 29 and folded portions 28 defining a lower face primer. Screws or pins 26 pass through the lateral faces 27 of the cover and engage in oblong openings not shown on each of the two lateral faces of the strand 2, so as to limit the stroke of the strand 2 and to avoid, for example, completely out of the lid. Two extreme longitudinal positions are illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. The maintained longitudinal position is ensured by a high coefficient of friction of the threaded rod with the tapping. Corresponding in the wheel or the strand.
  • Additional locking elements including a push button, a screw or any suitable member may be provided to prevent accidental adjustment of the set position.
  • an annular seal not shown on both longitudinal sides of the wheel 18 f rotten against two transverse sides of the arch 22 and optionally against the edge of the cover to increase the torque required to operate the wheel.
  • the blades 8, 8 of the clasp largely conceal the rod and the portion of the wheel under the cover which are thus largely protected from dust, sand and perspiration.
  • Clasp First strand of the bracelet Second strand of the bracelet Deployant blades central blade Deploying blade: stretcher Cover Push-button Pin for securing the strand 5 to the cover Movable stop Opening in the stretcher Opening in the central strand Knurl Groove profile of the knob Cranked rod Roll bar Window through the cover Guide rod of the first strand Side faces of the lid Guide portions under the lid Upper side of the lid
