  • This advantageous combination allows a robust assembly of the tubes at the ends of the blade.
  • the assembly of the tubes at the ends of the blade is preferably performed by welding, the welding being more preferably of the laser type.
  • the assembly by laser welding recommended allows a localized melting of the material and thus to secure the end of the blade and the tube without external material supply, while ensuring excellent mechanical performance and good resistance to corrosion.

  • the element 6 'attaching the strand to the watch case and / or the element 5 'securing the strand to a closure element is made by folding the end of the blade 4'. Indeed, the first end is folded to form a passage 8 or a loop and a portion 20 of the end is folded over the blade 4 '.

  • a mechanical action of traction of 50N, even 100N, even 200N, on the reinforcement does not make it possible to deform the reinforcement and the element of fixation, as it is the case in the prior art .
  • an action mechanical traction on an axis or a bar in the tube 9 or 10 does not release the tube or the other element of the reinforcement, except breaking the reinforcement.
  • the fixing elements of the fasteners are secured to the reinforcement.
  • the reinforcement 2 has the main role of ensuring the mechanical strength of the strand. Given the need to have a flexible bracelet and the criterion of resistance to the various forces, the reinforcement mainly comprises a strip or a metal blade 4. In particular, the use of a superelastic metal alloy also improves the holding at the fold.
  • a superelastic alloy is advantageously used for reinforcement.
  • Superelasticity is manifested in some very particular alloys that show a transition between an austenitic phase and a martensitic phase.
  • Superelasticity is characterized by the complete recovery of the shape of the sample when the applied stress ceases.
  • martensitic transformation can be induced under stress. The stress is exerted first in the field of elastic deformation of the austenite, with a stress proportional to the deformation. Above a critical value, the austenite becomes martensite.
  • Nitinol nickel and Titanium NiTi
  • CuAlBe, CuAlNi or CuZnAl alloys may also be used.
  • NiTi alloy reinforcement in particular that a NiTi alloy blade assembled by laser welding to NiTi alloy tubes, has excellent mechanical strength and corrosion, even in adverse cases (combination of materials favoring the equivalent of a galvanic corrosion and a prestressing of the metal blade), after two months of salt spray test.
  • the blades used may have zero initial curvature and the curvature of the strand may be obtained during the molding of the envelope. It is also conceivable to give the blade an initial curvature (preform) with a suitable manufacturing process.
  • the reinforcement can be dimensioned alone without regard to the envelope. It remains obvious that the addition of an envelope further improves traction.
  • NIHS 92-11 states that a watch strap must be able, as shown in figure 7 , withstand a tensile force F of 200N per strand without breaking (permanent deformation is tolerated). These requirements can be increased, the breakage of the bracelet then being ensured by shear failure of the pins of bars.
  • the reinforcement is then dimensioned according to the maximum tensile force F that must be able to undergo the strand without breaking, estimating the stresses equivalent to the maximum force, which must be less than the elastic limit of the material.
  • F maximum tensile force
  • a thickness of 0.1 mm of the blade makes it possible to obtain a limit force before plastic deformation of 440 N, which is largely above the desired values and well below the elastic limit and the breaking stress of the material.
  • the thickness of the envelope can be chosen so as to optimize the resistance of the strand to folding.
  • the permissible radius of curvature is 0.7 mm (by comparison, a central blade of stainless steel (type 1.4310) only tolerates a minimum bending radius of 5 mm).
  • the thickness of the coating of the bracelet is then chosen so as to ensure a radius of curvature greater than the limit allowed during a fold at 180 ° of the strand.
  • the NiTi alloy loses its superelastic properties below 0 ° C. Nevertheless, the alloy regains all its properties as soon as the temperature rises above this limit.
  • a bent blade with a radius of 2mm at -16 ° C retains this curvature as long as the temperature is below 0 ° C, but becomes perfectly straight as soon as the temperature is higher (recovery of the form in 8s at 20 ° C).
  • the superelastic alloy blade retains all its superelastic properties following a coating (overmolding conditions: typically T> 180 ° C for several minutes). This temperature behavior may vary depending on the superelastic alloy chosen. Thus, some alloys allow use at lower temperatures, but with a decrease in the maximum temperature of use.
  • the blades represented at figures 2 , 3 and 7 to 11 have a complex shape, with a lateral section that varies along the strand. This allows fine adjustment of the rigidity and flexibility of the bracelet along the strand. Indeed, the flexibility of the strand varies significantly if the thickness of the strand and / or its width vary, and / or if an opening 30 is cut in the strand for reasons of aesthetics or comfort. For a strand of complex bracelet as represented in the figure 1 these variations of flexibility can interfere with the wear of the watch and can disturb its tactile appreciation.
  • the approach is to compensate for the variation of the flexural modulus (Young's modulus times inertia around the neutral fiber of the metal core) of the envelope by acting on the inertia of the blade, in particular on its width.
  • the objective is to ensure a predefined flexibility of the strand throughout it, in particular constant, over the entire length of the strand or, failing that, on a part of the strand, particularly near the closure element since it is in this zone that the radius of curvature of the wrist varies the most.
  • the thickness of the blade does not vary along the blade.

  • the figure 10 is a section at the level of the plane BB of the figure 8
  • the figure 11 is a section at the DC plane of the figure 8 .
  • the geometries of the section of the strand are different at these three planes.
  • the geometry of the section of the envelope 3 and / or the geometry of the section of the reinforcement 4 evolves along the strand.
  • the section of the envelope evolves to provide aesthetic functions and the section of the reinforcement evolves to provide a mechanical function, including a mechanical function related to comfort.
  • the figure 9 also shows an opening 30. This architecture makes it possible to have a constant flexibility of the strand, in particular on the part of the strand close to the closure element, and to compensate for the variations in rigidity due to the presence of an opening or, more generally due to section variations of the envelope.
  • the strands with variable reinforcement section are optimized to ensure a constant rigidity throughout the strand, with a nominal value equal to 1 on the ordinate.
  • the variable section of the reinforcement makes it possible to to largely compensate for the effects of sectional changes in the envelope: between points 10 and 28, the variation between the minimum and maximum stiffness values falls by more than 25% for a constant section reinforcement at 4% for a reinforcement with variable section, which is no longer noticeable.

  • the Figures 15 to 17 show the possibilities offered by the controlled variation of the dimensions of the blade in a simpler case, and illustrate the method of dimensioning the blade.
  • the bracelet strand is composed of an elastic modulus reinforcement E r and an envelope made of a module material E e .
  • the flexural rigidity of a monomatiere strand is proportional to the product of the elastic modulus and the inertia of the section.
  • the stiffness of the strand will be proportional, in first approximation, to (E r x I r + E e x I e ), where I r and I e represent the inertia of the cross-section of the reinforcement and the envelope, respectively.
