Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wristwatch provided with a particular fastening system for bracelet strand.
  • the document EP0945083 for example describes such a fixing solution of a bracelet using a retaining bar, which is introduced into a central bead opening abutting against an inclined surface of the housing.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an alternative fastening device for a bracelet to a watch case that does not require the machining of through holes in the fastening ends of the strands of the bracelet.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a secure attachment device for a bracelet.
  • a wristwatch having a housing in or on which is arranged a slot, a bracelet provided with an end disposed in this slot, and fastening means for holding the end of the bracelet in this slot .
  • the attachment means comprise a groove opening on the slot and a bar disposed in the groove and occupying part of the slot.
  • the wristwatch is characterized in that it also contains retaining means of the bar comprising a radial retaining element formed by a median horn concealed in the slot as well as axial retaining means.
  • An advantage of the proposed solution is that it allows to retain a fastening element secured to the housing even in case of accidental release of the end of a strand of the bracelet and thus to exclude, thanks to the final joining of the attachment element to the housing, any danger for children who are not likely to swallow.
  • Another advantage of the proposed solution is that it meets the legal requirements of some countries.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a wristwatch and a detailed view of the attachment device of the bracelet 2 to the housing 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, preferably made of plastic.
  • On the bottom 10 of the housing there is a stack door 11 at the end of which is arranged a peripheral rim 13 projecting slightly from the housing 1 and in which there is provided a recess 131 for gripping the battery cover (no represented, with or without a tongue).
  • the attachment device comprises a first open housing here formed by a slot 3 arranged in a side wall of the housing 1, and a second open housing, formed here by a cylindrical groove 32 arranged in one of the faces of the slot 3.
  • This cylindrical groove 32 allows the introduction and the maintenance of an attachment element, which is formed according to this preferred embodiment by a bar 4 whose rod 41 extending along the axis AA is also shaped cylindrical to correspond to the shape of the groove 31.
  • the bar 4 also preferably comprises a flange 43 secured to one end of the rod 41, and a plug 42 of identical shape to the flange 43, to be assembled at the opposite end of the rod 41 via an insertion tip 421 mounted in the hollow portion of the rod 41 central.
  • An internal bulge 411 is arranged at the end of the rod 41 to cooperate with a groove 4211 arranged behind the insertion tip 421, in order to clip the stopper 42 in the rod 41.
  • This internal bulge 411 is obtained here preferably by deformation of material and gives rise therefore to the formation of a groove at the outer surface of the rod.
  • other methods of fixing plugs 42 may be envisaged, such as for example by gluing, welding, or driving, such clipping is very easy to perform and allows considerable time savings during assembly, as well as savings in terms of material consumption.
  • this variant would have the disadvantage of requiring an additional mounting step.
  • a radial retaining element complementary to the groove 32, is provided in the slot 3 in the form of a central horn 5 in which is preferably arranged a channel 51 whose shape and depth are here complementary to that of the groove 32 so that the rod 41 of the bar 4 can never come out of the slot 3 by a movement of the bar 4 in a direction in a plane perpendicular to the axis AA of the bar 4.
  • the groove 51 of the middle horn 5 and the groove 32 are arranged on opposite sides of the slot, and that their respective sizes and depths are configured so that the rod 41 of the bar 4 does not have moreover no degree of freedom between the channel 5 and the groove 32 at the level of the central horn 5 retaining.
  • Such a configuration makes it possible to apply the invention to any type of material for the housing, such as, for example, ceramic, metal, plastic, or even materials having variable flows over time.
  • the slot 3 is delimited laterally by first vertical side walls 31 opposite which are provided lateral recesses 12 in the middle of the housing 1 to accommodate the plugs 42.
  • the plugs 42 here taking a preferably cylindrical shape, the side clearances 12 have a corresponding shape of cylindrical excavation in the housing 1.
  • a third housing is provided to cooperate with the bar 4.
  • This third housing here takes the form of two additional semi-grooves 23 disposed on either side of a clearance central 22 whose shape corresponds to that of the central horn 5.
  • these semi-grooves 23 are provided to accommodate a portion of the rod 41 of the bar 4, and as will be seen later on the figure 3 , this size and this depth are preferably identical to those of the groove of the middle horn 5 to facilitate the introduction of the rod 41 of the bar 4 along the axis AA during assembly of the bracelet 2.
  • the middle horn 5 disposed here in the center of the slot 3 for reasons of symmetry and therefore equitable distribution of stresses on the end of the bracelet, is thus completely hidden once the bracelet 2 assembled to the housing 1.
  • the middle horn 5 is provided with second side walls 52, preferably vertical also, and whose shape and inclination preferably correspond to that of the central clearance 22 of the bracelet 2, to form abutment surfaces preventing lateral displacement of the end 21 of the bracelet along the axis AA of the bar 4, and this independently of the plugs 42 disposed on either side of this axis AA and which are also capable of fulfilling this function of abutment with respect to the lateral ends of the bracelet 2.
  • these second side walls 52 of the central horn 5 could for example be inclined in the form of "V” or “V” inverted to minimize the volume of material required to form the middle horn 5, to provide savings of d scale in the context of mass production.
  • the figure 2 illustrates the same elements as those illustrated on the figure 1 , ie the casing 1, the bracelet 2 and the bar 4, but nevertheless with a bar 4 integrally mounted with the plug 42 assembled at the right end of the central rod 41, and a bracelet 2 whose end 21 is no longer housed in the slot 3. All the references are thus identical to those of the figure 1 , except that the groove 32 and the channel 51 are no longer visible, since they are occupied by the rod 41 of the bar 2 along the axis AA.
  • the figure 2 thus shows a case in which the end 21 of the bracelet 2 could be released from the slot 3 in which it was housed, without however taking with it the bar 4.
  • the radial retaining element formed by the middle horn 5 has prevented any tearing of the rod 41 out of the slot 3; however, when the frictional forces are not sufficient to prevent lateral movement of the rod 41 along the axis AA of the bar, it is also necessary to provide axial retaining elements to prevent it from sliding out .
  • the first side walls 31 defining the slot 3 serve as axial stops for the plugs 42, so that once the bracelet 2 assembled using the bar, no movement is possible for the bar 4 along its axis AA, close to the machining tolerances of the length of the rod 41 relative to the width of the slot 3 and the box tolerances to allow the mounting of the plug 42 without crushing the first side wall 31.
  • the figure 3 shows different views of the wristwatch according to the preferred embodiment of the preceding figures.
  • a top view showing the other side of the housing 1 conventionally covered by an ice 14, and left and right side views of each side of the middle part, in the plane of the axes AA introduction for the rods 41 of the bar (not shown).
  • On the left there is a standard setting rod 6 located at 9 o'clock on the housing 1 closed by the ice 14 and on the bottom of which there is the peripheral rim 13 of the battery door on the opposite side.
  • the right figure shows the opposite side of the wristwatch at three o'clock.
  • two slots 3 are preferably located on either side of the housing 1, here at six o'clock and at noon, disposed symmetrically and parallel to the axis of the rod to preferably receive the ends of two strands.
  • the groove 32 is extended by the groove 51 of the middle horn 5 to form a complete virtual cylinder, the diameter of which will preferably be slightly greater than that of the rod 41 of the bar 4 to facilitate its introduction along the axis AA, illustrated in the preceding figures 1 and 2, and in which extends this virtual cylinder.
  • These figures also show the first and second lateral walls, respectively referenced 31 and 52 for the slot 3 and the middle horn 5, which form the axial abutment surfaces for the end 21 of the bracelet 2 and the plugs 42 of the bar 4.
  • the bracelet is preferably made of synthetic fabric, but could also be plastic, leather, metal, ceramic or composite.
  • the bar 4 is preferably made of metal but could also be plastic, ceramic or composite.
  • This bar 4, composed here in three parts, could however only include two, with one of the plugs 42 pre-molded at one end of the rod 41, or even a single piece, for example molded, to which case the housing of the rod could consist of walls reported outside the middle, and secured to the housing by screwing or welding.
  • the sections of both the rod 41 and the plugs 42 of the bar 4 have been chosen preferably cylindrical to facilitate a degree of freedom in rotation about its axis AA but could take another form, for example oval, square or triangular depending on production constraints, and to reduce manufacturing costs.
