  • Once the length of the bracelet adjusted to the wrist of the user it will not vary, especially if the bracelet is metallic. However, this is not the case of the wrist of the user whose size may vary with changes in temperature, for example. Often, these variations of the wrist are very thin, too thin to justify the addition or removal of a bracelet link, operations that would then make the bracelet really too wide or really too tight.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet and a bracelet clasp comprising such a device for easy and accurate adjustment of the length of the bracelet, without the need to resort to tools or disassemble the bracelet, and affecting the appearance of the bracelet as little as possible.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet, characterized in that it comprises a lid to which a first end of a bracelet is attached and comprising at least two lateral walls extending into the axis of the bracelet and a movable element to which is fixed a second end of a bracelet; in that said cover comprises on the internal faces of said side walls a closed rack having at least two notches in which first pins of the movable member slide, the positions of the movable member relative to the lid being determined by the notches the rack; and in that an elastic member tends to move the movable member towards the bottom of the notches of the rack, thereby blocking the first pins in said notches.
  • the present invention also relates to a clasp for a bracelet comprising a device for adjusting the length of the bracelet according to the invention.
  • the clasp for bracelet 1 unfolder illustrated at the figure 1 and comprising the device for adjusting the length of the bracelet according to the invention comprises a lid 2 formed of a substantially rectangular plate 3 and two lateral walls 4 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet and extending on two opposite sides of said tray 3.
  • a first branch 5 is fixed to the cover 2 by means of a first telescopic bar 6 whose retractable ends 6a fit into first blind holes 7 provided for this purpose on the inner face of the side walls 4 of the cover 2, at a distance of first end 2a thereof.
  • a second branch 8 is movably connected at one of its ends to the first branch 5 by a first attachment rod 9.

  • the first and second branches 5, 8 are shaped so that when folded one on the other, they are essentially in the same plane and the thickness of the branches thus folded is essentially that of the first branch 5 In addition, once folded, said first and second branches 5, 8 fit perfectly under the cover 2.
  • the second branch 8 comprises a locking pin 12 at its end fixed to the last link 10a of the bracelet.
  • Said locking pin 12 is intended to engage and to be retained in a locking box 13 placed under the cover 2 and fixed by means of second and third telescopic bars 14a, 14b inserted into second and third blind holes 15a , 15b provided for this purpose on the inner face of the side walls 4 of the cover 2.
  • Retaining means 16 are housed in the locking box 13 and hold the locking pin 12 in said box and thus the clasp in its closed position.
  • Two push buttons 17 are placed in through openings 18 of the side walls 4 of the cover 2 and are accessible by a user regardless of the position of the clasp. On pressing these push buttons 17 against the action of an elastic force, exerted for example by springs 19, the retaining means 16 release the locking pin 12, which thus allows the user to open the door. clasp and unfold the first and second branches 5, 8.
  • the locking pin 12, the locking box 13, the retaining means 16, the push buttons 17 and the springs 19 constitute a locking device of the clasp in its closed position.
  • This device has been described as example only and could be replaced by any other suitable device for locking the clasp 1 in its closed position.
  • a conventional clasp 1 has been described by way of example.
  • Clasp 1 comprises a device for adjusting the length of the bracelet according to the invention.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a mobile element 20 in the form of a stirrup essentially rectangular and open at one of its ends.
  • a first connecting element 21 is pivotally mounted at the open end 20a of the mobile element 20 by a suitable connecting device, such as for example a fourth telescopic bar 22.
  • the first connecting element 21 is formed of two arms 21a. , 21 b interconnected by a cross member 21 c.
  • the first connecting element 21 is sufficiently narrow to fit into the movable element 20.
  • a second connecting element 23 is movably connected to the first connecting element 21 by a third fixing rod 24a.
  • the second connecting element 23 is sufficiently narrow to fit between the arms 21a, 21b of the first connecting element 21 and comprises a first and a second notch 23a, 23b intended to cooperate respectively with the cross member 21c of the first element of FIG. connection and the fourth telescopic bar 22 connecting said first member to the movable member 20.
  • the second connecting member 23 can be folded over the first connecting member 21.
  • latching balls 25 are provided on the side walls of the second connecting member 23 to ensure a secure locking of the first and second connecting members 21, 23 in their folded position.
  • the folding system comprising the first and second connecting elements 21, 23 forms a "diver" type extension.
  • the last link 10b of a second bracelet strand is fixed by a fourth fastening rod 24b to the second connecting element 23.
  • the first and second connecting element 21, 23 once folded one on the other fits perfectly into the movable element 20.
  • the side walls 4 of the cover 2 comprise a first and a second cutouts 4a, 4b so that the cover 2 is wide enough to cover part of the links 10a, 10b of the bracelet.
  • First pins 26 are driven to the closed end of the movable member 20 and are intended to slide in a closed rack 27 that comprise the side walls 4 of the cover 2.
  • the movable member 20 further comprises second pins 28 which they slide in a rail 29 of the side walls 4 of the cover 2.
  • the rail 29 is open at one of its ends.
  • At least one but preferably two spring stops 30 are fixed on the movable member 20 and can each slide in a guide rail 31 provided for this purpose on the inner face of the plate 3 of the cover 2.
  • Said spring stops 30 comprise a sleeve driven into the movable member 20 and wherein there is a spring terminated by a stop, which may be a ball, for example. It is this stop that slides in the guide rail 31.
  • the rack 27, the rail 29 and each of the guide rails 31 are not through and are therefore invisible when the lid 2 is seen from above as illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the position of the movable member 20 is determined by the different notches 27a of the rack 27 which comprises at least two.
  • the first pins 26 are held in the notches 27a of the rack 27 under the action of the spring stops 30.
  • the user To move the movable member 20 relative to the lid 2, the user must put pressure on the movable member 20 against the action of said spring stops 30 to release the first pins 26 of their current notch 27a and, while maintaining the pressure on the movable member 20, move said element forward or rearward of the rack 27.
  • the displacement of the movable element 20 is further guided by the second pins 28 sliding in the rail 29 and sliding spring stops themselves in their respective guide rail 31.
  • the rack 27 being closed, the movable member 20 can not slide outside the cover 2 and there is no risk of losing the bracelet strand attached to said movable member 20.
  • the rack 27 and the position of the first pins 26 on the movable member 20 are such that at all times, and in all its positions, the movable member 20 is completely concealed under the lid 2.
  • the user By thus moving the movable element 20 in the lid 2, the user varies the length of the bracelet, one strand of which is connected to the movable element 20 via the first and second connecting elements 21, 23.
  • the mobile element 20 has on its face accessible to the user a specially treated area for better handling of said element by the user.
  • the movable member 20 may comprise thin streaks 32 anti-slip.
