Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rapid attachment device for an interchangeable wristwatch for wristwatches, the device comprising a body serving as a pushbutton and being able to be slidably housed in a watchcase, the carrying body a retaining rod arranged parallel to the plane of the watch case and in the sliding direction of said body, so that the body is movable parallel to a longitudinal axis of said retaining rod.

  • this system is based on the principle of two external buttons operated by pressure and therefore suffers from the same major disadvantage, namely a high risk of losing the bracelet by accidental actuation of the pushers.
  • this system does not overcome the other disadvantages mentioned above and, in particular, does not improve the aesthetics because adding an additional piece of considerable size in the form of the clasp.

It is obvious that the aforementioned variants of the parts 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 forming the quick coupler 1 can be combined according to and according to the specific constraints present in a concrete case of a watch case 2 and an interchangeable bracelet 3.

  • the manufacturer can thus choose the additional level of security against any inadvertent removal of the bracelet 3 by correspondingly adapting the angle of orientation between the interchangeable strap 3 and the watch case 2 which allows the removal and attachment 3.
  • This measure reinforces the provisions mentioned previously taken at the level of the force of the prestressing spring 1.3 as well as the integration of the body 1.1 serving as a push button in the middle part 2.1 by aligning the outer surfaces 1.1.2, 2.1.

In other, less preferred embodiments of the device, comprising, for example, a cylindrical rotating rod 1.2 with two different diameters, it is not necessary to orient the bracelet specifically to remove it, or even the to attach.
  • the quick coupling device according to the present invention can be declined in many variants. Due to the complexity of the device as well as the small volume occupied compared to similar devices of the prior art, the device is quite easy to produce industrially to reduce the production costs of such a fastening device fast, respectively of the watch equipped with this device. Moreover, the device allows simple, safe and reliable use.
  • a quick coupling device having the characteristics mentioned above is simply actuated by pressure, optionally by orienting the interchangeable strap in a specific direction, in order to allow removal or attachment of the bracelet, while an inadvertent actuation of the push button, respectively unintentional or accidental removal of the interchangeable strap can almost be excluded. Guiding the movement in translation by the body forming the push button and the two rods attached thereto and the absence of a complex kinematics make the operation of the device reliable.
  • the device has the important advantage that it is easier to integrate into existing timepieces than in systems of the prior art, without requiring too many adjustments or a major revision of the design of these parts.
  • the quick coupling device according to the present invention allows the user to change according to his tastes and / or given the conditions of use of his watch, the interchangeable strap attached to the watch case, intuitively and without having to have a particular tool or skill.
