Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bracelet formed of elements articulated together, in particular links, at least some of which are preferably made at least in part of a low-resilience material.
- the invention also relates to a particular use of such a bracelet for watches, jewelery pieces or even ornaments.
- the latter is usually made of a metal frame that is necessary for it to be able to withstand heavy mechanical stress, accidental type, such as those involved in a fall.
- materials such as those made by hot solidification of a paste or a compressed powder, generally have a low resilience and are therefore particularly sensitive to mechanical shocks. This sensitivity results from the absence of plastic deformations of these materials during impacts. This feature leads the parts that are made of such materials to a so-called fragile break.
- the sintered hard metal any type of ceramic including zirconia, glass and minerals such as sapphire or the ruby.
- Documents EP 586 981 and EP 347 841 describe bracelets with links, in particular for a wristwatch, the visible parts of which are formed of decorative elements made of hard materials, such as ceramic or sintered hard metal.
- the bracelet comprises an armature made by links of machinable material such as steel.
- the ceramic elements are only intended to cover the links of the frame which will bear all the mechanical forces applied to the bracelet. Thus, the mechanical stresses that these decorative elements undergo are severely limited.
- the object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks by producing, in accordance with the terms of claim 1, a bracelet comprising a plurality of elements articulated together, called links and each formed of at least a mesh and having at least one housing for receiving a connecting member associating the stitches and / or the links between them.
- This bracelet has a design that makes the mesh less sensitive to accidental mechanical shocks.
- Certain meshes are preferably at least partly made of a fragile material, such as ceramic, a sintered hard metal, glass or a sapphire or ruby type mineral, for example.
- the articulated elements of this bracelet will preferably be engaged in each other so as to be closely interconnected by the connecting members, namely members or hinge pins and possibly assembly rods.
- these connecting members are housed in the mesh or meshes of the link, each in a housing formed of at least one mesh hole.
- each deflection offers, in the direct vicinity of the edges of the meshes from which the connection members project, a free space or at least one gap which prevents the transmission of concentrated efforts to these meshes. on these bodies at these ends, when the latter are subjected to mechanical stresses.
- this means avoids any breakage of the meshes which, by nature or because of the abnormal temperature conditions in which they could be placed, are or become sensitive to mechanical impacts.
- the freedom or the range of motion thus reserved for the connecting member by the deflection means is obtained by reducing its cross section to the right of opening the hole in the mesh.
- Such a reduction can be achieved by machining on this member of a groove that can have different widths and / or profiles depending on the desired performance.
- Such an organ, also called grooved axis will comprise at least as many grooves as there are open ends among the set of fragile meshes it passes through.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view in partial section of a bracelet portion according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the bracelet along line II - II of FIG.
- Figures 3a to 3d are enlarged views of different groove profiles that can adopt the axes and / or rods linking the links or links of the bracelet.
- Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 but in which the bracelet comprises as a variant that three rows of stitches.
- Figure 5 is a variant of the illustration shown in Figure 4.
- FIG. 1 it illustrates a bracelet portion 1 in a perspective view and in partial section.
- this bracelet is a watch strap made on a five-row design Ri to R 5 with meshes 2, 3, 4 forming a plurality of elements articulated together.
- the so-called edge stitches 2, situated on the rows R 1 and R 5 , as well as the so-called center stitches 3, arranged on the row R 3 are suitably made of resilient materials such as metals (steel, gold, titanium, etc.) or alloys.
- the stitches on the rows R2 and R4, called intermediate stitches 4 are thus protected by the rows of adjacent stitches. For this reason, it is these intermediate meshes that will preferably be chosen to be made at least partly of low or low resilience material.
- the intermediate meshes 4 will be entirely made of ceramic, more particularly in zirconia known as a so-called technical or industrial ceramics. It will of course be understood that other materials could also be used for the execution of these meshes. Among these materials, preference will still be given to sapphire or ruby with sintered hard metal, for example.
- the different meshes 2, 3, 4 are connected to each other by at least one connecting member 10 in particular by three connecting members 10, 11, 12 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the articulated elements of the bracelet each comprise at least two connecting members, in particular two axes of articulation 10.
- Each of these connecting members is common to several meshes, in particular to all the meshes of the same line as well as to certain meshes of the adjacent lines upstream and downstream.
- the lines thus defined correspond to a succession of adjacent meshes forming a line transverse to the rows R 1 to R 5 .
- the adjectives upstream and downstream refer to the distance of the element in relation to the fixing 5 or the intermediate fixing meshes 6 which are particular meshes intended to connect the bracelet 1 to the middle part of the watch (no illustrated). Thus, with respect to a given point, the meshes located upstream will be closer to fixing than the meshes located downstream.
- the links 7 constitute the articulated elements of the bracelet. They each have at least one mesh. The meshes of the same link are held together rigidly, that is to say without articulation between them, by at least one rod called assembly rod 11, preferably by two connecting rods 11 and 12.
- links 7 are all similar to each other and given the positions offset downstream of the intermediate meshes 4, the links 7 can interlock with each other, that is to say engage some in the others to be closely related, and to be assembled from upstream to downstream in an articulated linkage through the axes 10. These are defined as being precisely axes of articulation which give two adjacent links a cylindrical articulation of simple type , comparable to a hinge.
- the articulated elements 7 each comprise at least one housing formed of at least one hole 15, better visible in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, for receiving a connecting member 10, 11, 12.
- these organs are hidden in the links they connect. They are not apparent on the outer faces of the edge meshes 2, nor even visible between the meshes 2, 3, 4 because of the very low interstitial clearance between these meshes.
- the latter are therefore advantageously provided with blind holes 15 ', while the holes 15 of the center stitches 3 or the intermediate stitches 4 are of the through type to allow the passage of the connecting members 10, 11, 12. , the holes 15 and 15 'of the same line form a housing for a connecting member.
- this represents the bracelet with five rows of the preceding figure, in a vertical sectional view along the line II-II of FIG. 1.
- the section cuts on the Hinge pin 10.
- a clearance 20 of the assembly member which passes through these open ends or mouths of the holes 15.
- the term mouthpiece, used here, as synonymous with the open end 16 of the hole 15 designates the zone located in the immediate vicinity of the inlet or outlet of this mesh hole.
- the means offered by the deflection 20 of the connecting member in question prevents it from coming into contact with the mesh at a location near the opening of the hole of the mesh.
- this axis or connecting member is subjected to an elastic deformation stress which induces locally, at the interface of two meshes or mesh portions arranged side by side, a bending of the corresponding section of this member, any contact between this stump and mesh can be advantageously avoided. Therefore, the first point of support between the mesh and the connecting member is moved towards the central portion of the mesh. By pushing this support towards the inside of the mesh, it avoids so-called edge effects that generate on the mesh concentrations of significant stress openings and would cause fatigue or premature rupture of the mesh when the link of the bracelet is subject to a mechanical shock.
- the deflection 20 results from an interval or clearance located between the connecting member and the corresponding mesh.
- This distance or separation distance is obtained by reducing the cross section of the connecting member to the right of the open end 16, by the accommodation on the connecting member of a groove 21 whose profile may be the same.
- Figures 3c and 3d show combinations where the groove 21 is on one chamfered side and the other has a rounded edge, respectively a progressive curvature edge.
- a groove which has a progressive curvature on its side oriented towards the inside of the mesh allows, when the portion of the connecting member which passes through it is subjected to a mechanical stress, to gradually distribute the stress of the mesh on a beach extending from its central portion to the edges of this mesh. With this gradual distribution, any concentration of efforts in the edges of the mesh can be avoided, at least limited, very convincingly.
- Such a progressive curve could be that adopted by the shape of a barrel portion.
- this shape makes it possible to further stress the center of the mesh rather than its edges when an elastic deformation occurs in the portion of the assembly member passing through this mesh.
- this form best promotes the distribution of mechanical stresses along the portion of this organ.
- the barrel geometry more solves the connecting members than the meshes.
- all the connecting members 10, 11, 12 will be of circular section and have an outer diameter of between 1.0 and 2.0 mm, more particularly between 1.4 and 1.6 mm.
- the diameter at the bottom of the grooves 21 of the grooved pins will be reduced by a value of between 5% and 25%, more particularly between 11% and 15%, of the outer diameter of the axis.
- the latter can also vary along the axis, especially when the diameter of the holes of the center stitches differs somewhat from that of the holes of the mesh of edge.
- the values equivalent to an outside diameter of 1.5 mm for a groove with a minimum diameter of 1.3 mm will be preferred because they correspond to the best compromise between the resistance of the axis and the importance of the clearance resulting from the groove.
- the deflection 20 of the axis could consist of a free space or clearance obtained by the arrangement, in the mesh, of an inlet cone open towards the outside of this axis. mesh and located at the opening of the hole reserved for the passage of the assembly member.
- Such an entry cone would consist of a pronounced widening or widening of the orifice of the opening of the mesh hole and would also reduce, although less effectively, the edge effects on this mesh while having a connecting member devoid of throat to the right of the open ends.
- this clearance could be defined as being a flare 22 of the open end 16. It will be further specified that a simple chamfer, such as that visible on the meshes 2 or 3 of FIG.
- the deflection could be obtained by a toric or cylindrical member such as a sleeve, made of a very resilient material and which would act as a damper. Such a material would therefore be able to absorb the mechanical stresses occurring in the connecting member in order to avoid transmitting them to the mesh or at least generating a concentration of forces in its edges.
- this sleeve could be arranged around the connecting member, hidden in the edges of the mesh, in the vicinity of the open ends of the hole reserved for this body.
- this sleeve could also fill the gap between the bottom of the groove of the wall or inner surface of the hole of the mesh at its open end.
- the deflection 20 of the assembly member in question aims to distribute any bias transmitted to the mesh, as a result of forces induced in the connecting member, over a range extending from the central portion from this stitch to the edges of the latter.
- the term "clearance” here defines the amplitude of the possible movement of the connecting member, in particular portions of this member located opposite the open ends 16, around its position relative to its position. equilibrium materialized by the axis of the dwelling in which it rests.
- the assembly rods 11, 12 may have smooth surfaces or be provided with knurled bearings to improve their strength within the mesh they connect.
- such knurled lands will preferably be located at the ends of the assembly rods intended to be housed in the holes 15 'of the edge mesh 2.
- the assembly rods 11, 12 devoid of grooves 16 will be maintained hunted within the mesh, unlike the grooved pins which, to prevent buckling, will preferably be adjusted with a slight tightening in the holes 15 during assembly.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a variant of the design of the meshes of the bracelet 1, according to a view similar to FIG. 2, but in which the arrangement of the meshes comprises only three rows Ri ', R2' / R3 '.
- the edge meshes 2 remain unchanged, the center stitches and the intermediate stitches of the same line are here replaced by a single intermediate stitch 4 ', preferably made of a material of low resilience.
- the object of the present invention is in no way dependent on the arrangement of the stitches within the various links of the bracelet, nor of the number of these, nor of the material in which they are realized. Thanks to the solution provided by the invention, it has been found, in tests carried out on a bracelet according to that shown in FIG.
- the object of the invention was developed first to solve the problem of breaking ceramic mesh during accidental impacts on the bracelet.
- the proposed solution would apply equally well to bracelets whose meshes are not particularly sensitive to mechanical shocks.
- the solution provided by the present invention would also help to avoid the edge effects in the mesh and to relieve and the open ends of the holes of the connecting members, a fatigue resulting from an undesirable concentration of effort.
