Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of dressing for the watch industry. It relates to a watchband link defining a longitudinal axis in the direction of the length of the bracelet, and an upper face and a lower face, respectively with reference to the outer and inner sides of said bracelet.
  • the fine adjustment of the length of the bracelet is an important parameter which determines the comfort of use.
  • leather or fabric bracelets which can be pierced with holes that can receive the barb of a buckle, or an attachment pin of a folding clasp.
  • the setting to the length often requires the disassembly of links.
  • bracelet links comprising elastically deformable elements, either inside the links or between the links.
  • the deformation of these elastic elements allows an adjustment of the length of the bracelet and a setting to length.
  • these elastic elements cause the exercise of elastic stress on the wrist of the wearer, which may not be pleasant.
  • Another adjustment system is known from CH-594,380 .
  • the present invention aims to provide a link bracelet whose length can be adjusted, free of the disadvantages above.
  • the invention also relates to a bracelet comprising a first portion provided at one of its ends with a link as defined above, and a second portion provided with a bar at one of its ends.
  • the second part is dimensioned so that its bar passes through the oblong openings of the link.
  • the bar may occupy a first position in which it is located between the hook and a first end of the oblong openings, and a second position in which it is located between the hook and the second end of the oblong openings.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a watchband link 10 according to the invention. According to the proposed example, it is of parallelepipedal general shape, but other forms are conceivable.
  • An upper face 12 and a lower face 14 are also defined, the upper face 12 being that which is intended to be visible when the bracelet comprising this link is worn, the lower face 14 being that which is intended to be in contact with the arm of the carrier.
  • the link defines two flanks 16 parallel to said longitudinal axis. Each of these flanks is traversed by an oblong opening 18 oriented substantially along the longitudinal axis A-A. These oblong openings 18 are located facing one another so as to allow, as will be seen later, the translation of a bar or a pin passing through these openings, from one end to the other. other of the opening.
  • the lower face 14 of the link receives a housing 20 sized to receive a latching lever 22.
  • the latter comprises, at one of its ends, a hook 24 serving as hooking member.
  • the latch 22 is pivotally mounted in the housing in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, that is to say parallel to the bars connecting the links to each other.
  • the rocker 22 can be moved between a first position in which the hook is located opposite the oblong openings, and a second position in which the hook leaves free space between the oblong openings. It will also be noted that the oblong openings 18 open into the housing 20.
  • the link 10 further comprises a spring member 26 mounted in the bottom of the housing 20 and arranged to exert on the rocker 22 a force tending to maintain it in its first position.
  • a spring member 26 mounted in the bottom of the housing 20 and arranged to exert on the rocker 22 a force tending to maintain it in its first position.
  • the latch 22 is brought to its second position, by constraining the spring member, by an action on the end of the rocker 22 opposite to the latching member with reference to its pivot axis.
  • the person skilled in the art could possibly provide a push-type control member to act on the rocker 22. It is also possible to provide on the actuating zone of the rocker, a relief structure improving the ergonomics and making it possible to visualize the link 10 when it is among the other links of a bracelet.
  • the housing 20 is advantageously dimensioned so that the rocker 22 is fully housed when it is in its first position, which allows the device to integrate perfectly in a bracelet without disturbing the wearer.
  • the rocker 22 is arranged so that the end of the rocker 22 having the hook 24 protrudes outside the housing 20 when the rocker 22 is in its second position. Note that a different arrangement of the locking hook 24 would be possible with another kinematic, but the solution described is the most suitable in terms of ergonomics and congestion system.
  • this link 10 is intended to be the last link of a first part of a bracelet.
  • the latter also comprises a second portion provided with a pin 28 with tenons at one of its ends. It may be noted in the drawings that the oblong openings are intended to receive this pin 28.
  • the links forming the end of the second part are not shown but are arranged to allow the positioning of the link 10 and the establishment of the pin 28 in the oblong openings 18, thanks to the pins of the pin.
  • the hook 24 is substantially positioned so as to separate the space defined between the oblong openings 18, in two substantially equal parts, in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, a first portion of the side of the first end of the openings. oblong 18 and a second portion on the side of the second end of the oblong openings 18.
  • the hook 24 is dimensioned so that the pin 28 is positioned without play in its first and second positions.
  • the base of the hook 24 forms, with the wall of the oblong openings 18, a receptacle whose shape is substantially adapted to that of the pin 28.
  • the hook 24 and the pin 28 may further be arranged to form a hook engagement of the hook 24 in the pin 28 when the latch 22 is in its first position.
  • the pin 28 comprises a recess, not visible in the drawing, in which can take place the hook 24.
  • the pin 28 being free in rotation, a pressure on the rocker 22 can simply clear the notch, but an involuntary release is almost impossible. This arrangement also makes it possible to maintain a controlled orientation of all the links with respect to each other.
  • the notched engagement is done by cooperation between the hook 24 and a corresponding recess 30, formed in the bottom of the housing 20, facing the hook 22.
  • the hook engages notch in the recess 30 when the latch 22 is in his first position.
  • the locking obtained is thus more rigid than in the embodiment above and independent of the relative orientation of the Links and pin 28.
  • locking occurs as soon as the rocker is in its first position, regardless of the length of the bracelet.
  • a bracelet comprising a link according to the invention may have a first length, called short, when the pin 28 is in its first position, visible on the figure 1 .
  • the spring member 26 and the notch engagement of the hook 24 ensure the maintenance of this position safely.
  • Pressing on the latching lever 22 brings the latch into its second position, disengaging the notch by rotation of the pin 28.
  • the first and second parts of the wrist strap are pulled. away from each other, which brings the pin 28 in its second position, visible on the figure 2 .
  • the bracelet then has a second length, called long. It is then possible to release the pressure on the rocker 22, which brings it back to its first position and makes it possible to guarantee the maintenance of this position.
  • the reduction of the length can quite be done in the opposite direction.
  • a link and a link bracelet provided with such a link, capable of occupying at least two different and determined lengths.
  • the skilled person could provide several hooks on the scale thus providing more adjustment positions.
  • the adjustment system is completely invisible when the bracelet is worn.
  • the bracelet is identical to a bracelet of the state of the art when it is in its short position.
  • the bracelet provided with such a link does not elastically compress the wearer's arm and offers excellent reliability in maintaining positions that can not vary accidentally, as with an elastic strap.
  • the link according to the invention can be inserted into existing link bracelets, thus providing a fine adjustment of the length.
