L'invention concerne les domaines de l'horlogerie, de la bijouterie et de la joaillerie, et concerne plus particulièrement les structures articulées, telles que bracelets, bracelets de montres, colliers, chaînes, ou similaires. De tels objets comportent souvent des composants coûteux ou/et fragiles : boîtes de montres, joyaux, ou similaires.The invention relates to the fields of watchmaking, jewelery and jewelery, and more particularly relates to articulated structures, such as bracelets, watchbands, necklaces, chains, or the like. Such objects often include expensive and / or fragile components: watch cases, jewels, or the like.
L'invention se propose d'amortir les chocs éventuels entre certains composants, et plus particulièrement entre le composant de plus grande valeur, et les composants auxquels il est rattaché, lesquels sont en général des maillons de bracelet. L'amortissement selon l'invention permet de prévenir des contacts à forte accélération qui sont nuisibles pour des composants fragiles, tels des gemmes, des cristaux, certaines céramiques, par l'interposition d'un élément de compensation dans une zone adéquate. Cet élément de compensation est conçu pour éviter un contact directe entre deux composants adjacents, pour amortir leur mouvement relatif, pour les protéger, et pour limiter le bruit lors de la percussion ou du frottement de l'un sur l'autre.The invention proposes to dampen possible shocks between certain components, and more particularly between the component of greater value, and the components to which it is attached, which are generally bracelet links. The damping according to the invention makes it possible to prevent high acceleration contacts which are harmful for fragile components, such as gems, crystals, certain ceramics, by the interposition of a compensating element in a suitable zone. This compensation element is designed to avoid direct contact between two adjacent components, to dampen their relative movement, to protect them, and to limit the noise during the percussion or friction of one on the other.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un élément de compensation 1, de préférence pour bracelet articulé, cette application décrite ici en détail n'étant pas limitative, l'invention étant applicable à d'autres structures similaires à des bracelets.For this purpose, the invention relates to a
Cet élément de compensation 1 est prévu pour être inséré entre un premier composant 6 et un deuxième composant 9, lesquels sont articulés l'un à l'autre par un troisième composant arbré 8 d'articulation selon un axe de pivotement D. Cette insertion a pour but de prévenir tout contact direct entre ces deux composants 6 et 9 selon une direction radiale au troisième composant arbré d'articulation 8.This
L'élément de compensation 1, selon un mode de réalisation préféré tel que visible sur les figures, à encore pour fonction de limiter la course angulaire relative, l'un par rapport à l'autre, de ce premier composant 6 et de ce deuxième composant 9, par rapport au troisième composant arbré d'articulation 8.The compensating
De préférence, l'élément de compensation 1 est constitué de façon monobloc en matériau résilient, en caoutchouc, élastomère, silicone, ou similaire.Preferably, the

Ces bossages 3 et 4 sont prévus pour être coincés, à distance l'un de l'autre et préférentiellement parallèlement l'un à l'autre, dans des creux que comportent certains composants, ou que délimitent ensemble, dans leur zone de jonction et d'articulation, de tels composants adjacents. Ces bossages 3 et 4 font fonction d'amortisseurs de choc, en même temps que limiteurs de course angulaire au niveau de l'articulation. Ils sont prévus pour maintenir en traction la nappe 2 entre le premier composant 6 et le deuxième composant 9. Ainsi la nappe 2, en complément avec ces bossages 3 et 4, prévient-elle tout contact direct entre ces deux composants.These
De préférence, chaque au moins un premier bossage 3 et chaque au moins un deuxième bossage 4 est un tronçon d'un prisme développé avec des génératrices parallèles à une même direction transversale T.Preferably, each at least one
Tel que visible sur les
Dans une réalisation particulière, en projection sur un plan de projection parallèle à la direction de nappe N, chaque au moins un premier bossage 3 alterne avec chaque au moins un deuxième bossage 4, leurs projections sur le plan de projection étant, ou bien partiellement superposées comme dans les figures, ou bien séparées par un plan perpendiculaire à la direction de nappe N dans une autre variante non illustrée par les figures.In a particular embodiment, in projection on a plane of projection parallel to the web direction N, each at least one
Avantageusement, l'élément de compensation 1 comporte, à au moins une de ses extrémités, une pluralité de premiers bossages 3 ou/et respectivement une pluralité de deuxièmes bossages 4. Les
Cette conception avec deux bossages 4, au lieu d'un long bossage unique, permet, comme on le verra plus loin, d'éviter de trop affaiblir localement les composants récepteurs de l'élément de compensation 1 selon l'invention.This design with two
Avantageusement, ces deux deuxièmes bossages 4 sont reliés entre eux par une lèvre 5, qui est de préférence également un tronçon d'un prisme développé avec des génératrices parallèles à une même direction de nappe N, et dont le saillant par rapport à la nappe 2 est inférieur à celui du ou des premiers bossages 3, ainsi qu'à celui des deuxièmes bossages 4. Cette lèvré 5 apporte une certaine rigidité à l'élément 1 selon la direction N, et facilite le maintien en alignement, lors du montage de l'élément 1, entre les deux bossages 4.Advantageously, these two
De préférence, tel que visible sur la
La zone de liaison entre la nappe 2 et les deuxièmes bossages 4, en périphérie de la nappe 2, est avantageusement pourvue de rayons R2 pour prévenir toute déchirure, qui sont dimensionnés environ au double ou au triple de l'épaisseur e de la nappe 2.The zone of connection between the
En effet, pour une insertion facile et discrète dans une telle structure articulée, en particulier dans une structure articulée pré-existante, l'élément d'insertion 1 est de dimensions les plus réduites possibles, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'épaisseur e de la nappe 2, qui est de préférence inférieure à 0,20 mm, tandis que les bossages 3 et 4 sont saillants de valeurs pouvant atteindre 1,0 mm.Indeed, for an easy and discrete insertion in such an articulated structure, in particular in a pre-existing articulated structure, the
L'invention concerne encore un bracelet articulé 100, comportant au moins un premier composant 6 articulé avec au moins un deuxième composant 9 par un troisième composant arbré d'articulation 8 selon un axe de pivotement D. Selon l'invention, ce bracelet articulé 100 comporte, au voisinage de cet axe d'articulation 8, un espace intermédiaire 30 formant chambre de section sensiblement constante parallèle à l'axe D, et, de part et d'autre de cet axe d'articulation 8 et de cet espace intermédiaire 30, un premier espace évasé 18 et un deuxième espace évasé 19 divergents. De préférence, quand le premier composant 6 est articulé, de deux côtés, avec à chaque fois un deuxième composant 9 par un troisième composant arbré d'articulation 8, il existe un tel espace intermédiaire de chaque côté du premier composant 6, encadré à chaque fois par de tels espaces évasés.The invention also relates to an articulated
L'invention concerne encore un bracelet articulé 100 qui comporte, monté prisonnier entre le premier composant 6 et le deuxième composant 9, un tel élément de compensation 1, pour prévenir tout contact direct entre le premier composant 6 et le deuxième composant 9 selon une direction radiale à l'axe de pivotement D, et pour limiter la course angulaire, autour de cet axe de pivotement D du premier composant 6 par rapport au deuxième composant 9. L'élément de compensation 1 est monté de façon à ce que sa direction de nappe N soit parallèle à l'axe de pivotement D. on appellera encore ci-après direction transversale T cette direction commune, tandis que la direction perpendiculaire à celle-ci, et selon laquelle se développent en général des séries de maillons articulés, sera dénommée direction longitudinale L.The invention also relates to an articulated
Si, comme déjà évoqué ci-dessus, on peut équiper un bracelet existant d'un élément de compensation 1 selon l'invention, les interférences dynamiques rendent difficile un fort dimensionnement des bossages 3 et 4. Et un positionnement uniquement dans des creux formés par des zones d'articulation n'est souvent pas suffisant pour assurer un bon maintien d'un élément de compensation 1, qui ressemble alors à un joint plat, mal maintenu en traction.If, as already mentioned above, it is possible to equip an existing wristband with a compensating
A cet effet, le bracelet articulé 100 comporte au moins le premier composant 6 ou le deuxième composant 9 agencé spécifiquement pour recevoir l'un ou l'autre des bossages 3 et 4, ou bien l'un et l'autre de ces bossages 3 et 4, et de préférence à la fois le premier composant 6 et le deuxième composant 9 ont une géométrie conçue pour un maintien parfait de l'élément de compensation 1 selon l'invention, quelle que soit la position angulaire entre ces deux composants 6 et 9.For this purpose, the hinged

De façon préférée le bracelet articulé 100 comporte un élément de compensation 1 de géométrie adapté à celle de l'espace intermédiaire 30 et des espaces évasés 18 et 19, pour que l'élément de compensation 1 puisse être monté, tendu au niveau de sa nappe 2, entre les bossages 3 et 4 arrêtés par les espaces évasés 18 et 19, et monté prisonnier entre le premier composant 6 et le deuxième composant 9.Preferably, the hinged
Il est ainsi possible d'enfermer complètement l'élément de compensation 1 entre le premier composant 6 et le deuxième composant 9, arrêté par les différents bossages en coopération avec le profil de ces composants, ce qui permet, dans certains cas, de fixer cet élément de compensation 1 sans collage, quand son matériau constitutif ne le permet pas. Quand le matériau de l'élément 1 le permet, un collage sur un des composants antagonistes facilite sa mise en place , tel que visible par exemple sur la
Dans une réalisation préférée, non limitative, de l'invention, ce bracelet articulé 100 comporte au moins un premier composant 6 qui comporte lui-même, autour de l'axe de pivotement D, un profil concave 7 sensiblement homothétique à un profil convexe 12 que comporte le deuxième composant 9 en regard du profil concave 7, de façon à délimiter avec lui un espace intermédiaire 30 pour le logement de la nappe 2. Cet espace intermédiaire 30 est bordé de part et d'autre, autour de l'axe de pivotement D, par un premier espace évasé 18 pour le logement du premier bossage 3, et par un deuxième espace évasé 19 pour le logement du deuxième bossage 4.In a preferred embodiment, not limiting, of the invention, this articulated

En particulier, le deuxième composant 9 comporte, d'un côté du profil convexe 12 un rayon d'appui 14 suivi, en s'éloignant de l'espace intermédiaire 30, par une rampe 13 rayonnée, et, de l'autre côté du profil convexe 12, un rayon d'appui 16 suivi, en s'éloignant de l'espace intermédiaire 30, par une gorge 15 délimitée par un rayon de butée 17. Et ce premier composant 6 comporte, face à la rampe rayonnée 13, une première rampe rayonnée 14 restant à distance de la rampe rayonnée 13 dans toute position de compression ou de traction de l'élément de compensation 1, et, comporte, face à la gorge 15, une deuxième rampe rayonnée 32 délimitée par un bec 20 faisant face au rayon de butée 17 et restant à distance du rayon de butée 17 dans toute position de compression ou de traction de l'élément de compensation 1.
