Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Verschlusses, welcher ein Basisteil 10, einen Schwenkarm 20 und einen Verschlusskopf 30 umfasst. Ein Armband, von welchem in Fig. 2 ein Teil gestrichelt dargestellt ist, ist am Basisteil 10 sowie am Verschlusskopf 30 befestigbar. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a closure, which comprises a base part 10, a pivot arm 20 and a closure head 30. A bracelet from which in Fig. 2 a part is shown in dashed lines, can be fastened to the base part 10 and the closure head 30.

Das Basisteil 10 weist zwei Schenkel 11a, 11b auf, die beabstandet zueinander vom Gelenkende 10b zum Verschlussende 10a reichen. Die Schenkel 11a, 11b sind starr miteinander verbunden mittels eines Quersteges 12 und einer Querplatte 13. Diese ist endseitig des Verschlussendes 10a und beabstandet zum Quersteg 12 angeordnet. Dadurch ergibt sich ein Zwischenraum 14, durch welchen hindurch ein Teil eines Armbandes 1 hindurchführbar ist, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt.The base part 10 has two legs 11a, 11b, which at a distance from each other extend from the joint end 10b to the closure end 10a. The legs 11a, 11b are rigidly interconnected by means of a transverse web 12 and a transverse plate 13. This is the end of the closure end 10a and spaced from the transverse web 12 is arranged. This results in a gap 14, through which a part of a bracelet 1 can be passed, as in Fig. 2 shown.

Auf der Querplatte 13 ist ein im Verschlusskopf 30 verriegelbarer Stift 15 angeordnet, welcher bei montiertem Armband 1 durch dieses hindurch verläuft. Das Armband 1 ist somit mittels des Stifts 15 am Verschlussende 10a fixierbar.On the transverse plate 13 a lockable in the lock head 30 pin 15 is arranged, which runs through the bracelet 1 mounted therethrough. The bracelet 1 is thus fixed by means of the pin 15 at the closure end 10a.

Das Verschlussende 10a weist zwei Längswandungen mit Vorsprüngen 16a, 16b auf, die beabstandet zur Querplatte 13 angeordnet sind und sich nach innen hin erstrecken. Ist im Zwischenraum 14 das Armband 1 eingeführt, so liegen an dessen Oberseite die Vorsprünge 16a, 16b und an der Unterseite des Armbandes 1 die Querplatte 13 an. Diese Umgreifung mittels der Vorsprünge 16a, 16b verleiht dem Armband 1 zusätzlichen Halt im Verschlussende 10a.The closure end 10a has two longitudinal walls with projections 16a, 16b which are spaced from the transverse plate 13 and extend inwardly. If the bracelet 1 is inserted in the intermediate space 14, the projections 16a, 16b are located on the upper side thereof and the transverse plate 13 on the underside of the bracelet 1. This encompassing by means of the projections 16a, 16b gives the bracelet 1 additional support in the closure end 10a.

Die Form des Stiftes 15 ist in Fig. 3 genauer ersichtlich. Der Stift 15 umfasst ein Verankerungsende 15a, welches aus einem Grundkörper 15b herausragt und zur festen Verankerung des Stiftes 15 in der Querplatte 13 dient. Der Grundkörper 15b weist eine im Wesentlichen kreiszylindrische Form auf und ist über einen sich verjüngenden Abschnitt 15c mit einem pilzförmigen Kopf 15d, 15f verbunden. Dieser weist einen Abstandskörper 15d auf, welchem sich ein Hut 15f anschliesst. Der Abstandskörper 15d hat eine im Wesentlichen kreiszylindrische Form. Der Hut 15f weist eine sich verjüngende Form auf. Der Übergang des Abstandskörpers 15d zum Hut 15f dient als Anschlag 15e zum Arretieren des Stiftes 15 im Verschlusskopf 30.The shape of the pin 15 is in Fig. 3 more precisely. The pin 15 comprises an anchoring end 15 a, which protrudes from a main body 15 b and serves for the firm anchoring of the pin 15 in the transverse plate 13. The main body 15b has a substantially circular cylindrical shape and is connected to a mushroom-shaped head 15d, 15f via a tapered portion 15c. This has a spacer body 15d, which is followed by a hat 15f. The spacer body 15d has a substantially circular cylindrical shape. The hat 15f has a tapered shape. The transition of the spacer body 15d to the hat 15f serves as a stop 15e for locking the pin 15 in the closure head 30th

Zurückkommend auf die Figuren 1 und 2, ist zu sehen, dass am Gelenkende 10b des Basisteils 10 die Schenkel 11a, 11b Durchgangsöffnungen 17a, 17b aufweisen. Diese fluchten mit einer Durchgangsöffnung 22 im Schwenkarm 20, so dass durch Hindurchführen einer Achse 21 ein Gelenk gebildet ist zum Schwenken des Schwenkarms 20 in Bezug auf das Basisteil 10.Coming back to the FIGS. 1 and 2 It can be seen that at the hinge end 10b of the base part 10, the legs 11a, 11b have through openings 17a, 17b. These are aligned with a through opening 22 in the pivot arm 20, so that by passing an axis 21, a joint is formed for pivoting the pivot arm 20 with respect to the base part 10th

Der Schwenkarm 20 ist im Wesentlichen in Form einer Platte ausgebildet. Die Breite ist so gewählt, dass in der geschlossenen Stellung des Verschlusses gemäss Fig. 6 der Schwenkarm 20 zwischen den Schenkeln 11a, 11b zu liegen kommt. Eine Aussparung 23 im Schwenkarm 20 dient zur Aufnahme des Quersteges 12. Wie aus den Figuren 5 und 6 ersichtlich, sind demnach Basisteil 10 und Schwenkarm 20 in ihrer Form so aneinander angepasst, dass sich in der geschlossenen Stellung keine Absätze zwischen den Schenkeln 11a, 11b und dem Schwenkarm 20 ergeben. Wie ebenfalls aus der Fig. 6 ersichtlich, weisen die Teile 10 und 20 in Längsrichtung gesehen eine Krümmung auf. Dadurch schmiegt sich der Verschluss besser an das Handgelenk an.The pivot arm 20 is formed substantially in the form of a plate. The width is chosen so that in the closed position of the closure according to Fig. 6 the swing arm 20 comes to lie between the legs 11a, 11b. A recess 23 in the pivot arm 20 serves to receive the cross bar 12. As from the Figures 5 and 6 As can be seen, accordingly, the base part 10 and the pivoting arm 20 are adapted to one another in their shape such that, in the closed position, there are no shoulders between the legs 11a, 11b and the pivoting arm 20. As also from the Fig. 6 can be seen, the parts 10 and 20 seen in the longitudinal direction to a curvature. As a result, the closure clings better to the wrist.

Zurückkommend auf die Figuren 1 und 2, ist erkennbar, dass der Schwenkarm 20 endseitig am Verschlusskopf 30 befestigt ist. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Verbindung starr ausgebildet. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Schwenkarm 20 eine weitere Durchgangsöffnung 24 auf zur Aufnahme eines mit dem Verschlusskopf 30 verbundenen Stifts 29.Coming back to the FIGS. 1 and 2 , It can be seen that the pivot arm 20 is attached to the end of the closure head 30.

Das Verschlussgehäuse 31 weist zwei Fortsätze 32a, 32b auf, zwischen welchen das Ende des Schwenkarms 20 angeordnet ist und welche mit Durchgangsöffnungen 32a, 32b versehen sind. Der Stift 29 ist durch diese sowie die Durchgangsöffnung 24 hindurchgeführt und verankert so den Schwenkarm 20 am Verschlusskopf 30.The closure housing 31 has two extensions 32a, 32b, between which the end of the pivot arm 20 is arranged and which are provided with passage openings 32a, 32b. The pin 29 is passed through this and the passage opening 24 and anchored so the pivot arm 20 on the closure head 30th

Das Verschlussgehäuse 31 ist mit einer durchgehenden Ausnehmung 33 versehen zur Aufnahme der Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b, welche mittels Federn 35a, 35b vorgespannt sind. Die Ausnehmung 33 erstreckt sich in einer Richtung, welche im Wesentlichen parallel zur Achse ist, um welche der Schwenkarm 20 schwenkbar ist. Die Ober- und Unterseite des Verschlussgehäuses 31 ist mit einer Öffnung 34 versehen, so dass der Stift 15 durch das Verschlussgehäuse 31 hindurchragen kann. Zum Halten der Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b dienen Halteelemente 36a, 36b. Diese sind hier in Form von kopflosen Schrauben ausgebildet, welche im Verschlussgehäuse 31 verschraubt sind und sich durch die Ausnehmung 33 hindurch erstrecken.The closure housing 31 is provided with a through recess 33 for receiving the pressure actuators 40a, 40b, which are biased by means of springs 35a, 35b. The recess 33 extends in a direction which is substantially parallel to the axis about which the pivot arm 20 is pivotable. The top and bottom of the closure housing 31 is provided with an opening 34, so that the pin 15 can protrude through the closure housing 31. To hold the pressure actuators 40a, 40b serve holding elements 36a, 36b. These are designed here in the form of headless screws which are screwed in the closure housing 31 and extend through the recess 33 therethrough.

Der Verschlussdeckel 50 weist Seitenelemente 51a, 51b auf, die über ein Mittelteil 52 fest miteinander verbunden sind und die mit Schlitzen 53a, 53b versehen sind. Die Enden der Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b ragen durch diese hindurch, wodurch sie einerseits zugänglich sind für die Betätigung und andererseits den Verschlussdeckel 50 am Verschlussgehäuse 31 festhalten.The closure lid 50 has side elements 51a, 51b, which are fixedly connected to one another via a central part 52 and which are provided with slots 53a, 53b. The ends of the pressure actuators 40 a, 40 b protrude therethrough, whereby they are accessible on the one hand for the actuation and on the other hand, the closure cover 50 on the closure housing 31 hold.

Der Verschlussdeckel 50 umfasst weiter Mittel zur Befestigung eines Endes des Armbandes 1. Zu diesem Zweck weist hier das jeweilige Seitenelement 51a, 51b innenseitig eine Bohrung 55a, 55b auf. In diese Bohrungen 55a, 55b können die Enden eines Stiftes greifen, an welchem das Armband 1 gehalten ist.The closure lid 50 further comprises means for attaching one end of the bracelet 1. For this purpose, the respective side member 51a, 51b has a bore 55a, 55b on the inside. In these bores 55a, 55b, the ends of a pin can grip, on which the bracelet 1 is held.

Fig. 4 zeigt genauer den Verriegelungsmechanismus des Verschlusses. Die Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b sind im Wesentlichen gleich ausgebildet und um 180 Grad gedreht zueinander angeordnet. Der jeweilige Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b ist in Form einer Platte ausgebildet, welche folgende Elemente aufweist:

  • ein Loch 41a, 41b, durch welches das Halteelement 36a, 36b hindurchragt und eine Grösse aufweist, die es erlaubt, die Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b mit dem gewünschten Hub zu verschieben,
  • eine erste Stufe 42a, 42b, welche einen Anschlag für das eine Ende der Feder 35a, 35b bildet, und
  • einen Arm 43a, 43b mit einem seitlichen Endfortsatz. An deren Vorderseite ist eine zweite Stufe 44a, 44b gebildet, welche als Anschlag für das Ende der anderen Feder 35b bzw. 35a dient. Die Rückseite des Endfortsatzes bildet eine Verriegelungswand 45a, 45b, welche zum Verriegeln des Stiftes 15 dient.
Fig. 4 more specifically shows the locking mechanism of the closure. The pressure actuators 40a, 40b are formed substantially the same and arranged rotated by 180 degrees to each other. The respective pressure actuator 40a, 40b is in the form of a plate, which has the following elements:
  • a hole 41a, 41b, through which the holding element 36a, 36b protrudes and has a size which allows the pressure actuators 40a, 40b to be displaced with the desired stroke,
  • a first step 42a, 42b which forms a stop for the one end of the spring 35a, 35b, and
  • an arm 43a, 43b with a lateral end extension. At the front side of a second stage 44a, 44b is formed, which serves as a stop for the end of the other spring 35b and 35a. The rear side of the end extension forms a locking wall 45a, 45b, which serves to lock the pin 15.

Zwischen den Verriegelungswänden 45a und 45b befindet sich ein Zwischenraum 47, durch welchen hindurch der Kopf 15d, 15f des Stifts 15 hindurchführbar ist. Dies wird hier erleichtert, indem die jeweilige Verriegelungswand 45a, 45b in Einschieberichtung des Stiftes 15 mit einer abgeschrägten Fläche 46a, 46b versehen ist.Between the locking walls 45a and 45b there is a gap 47, through which the head 15d, 15f of the pin 15 can be passed. This is facilitated here by the respective locking wall 45a, 45b is provided in the insertion direction of the pin 15 with a tapered surface 46a, 46b.

Zum Verriegeln des Verschlusses wird der Schwenkarm 20 geschwenkt, so dass der Hut 15f des Stiftes 15 an den abgeschrägten Flächen 46a, 46b anliegt. Der Benutzer betätigt dann die Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b oder drückt einfacher Weise auf den Verschlussdeckel 50, wodurch die Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b auseinandergeschoben werden und der Hut 15f des Stiftes 15 durch den vergrösserten Zwischenraum 47 hindurchgeschoben wird. Sobald der Abstandskörper 15d des Stiftes 15 im Zwischenraum 47 zu liegen kommt, werden die Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b aufgrund der Kraft der Federn 35a, 35b in ihre Ausgangsstellung zurückverschoben. Der Anschlag 15e des Stifts 15 liegt nun auf den Verriegelungswänden 45a, 45b.For locking the shutter, the swing arm 20 is pivoted so that the hat 15f of the pin 15 abuts against the chamfered surfaces 46a, 46b. The user then actuates the pressure actuators 40a, 40b or simply pushes on the closure lid 50, whereby the pressure actuators 40a, 40b are pushed apart and the hat 15f of the pin 15 is pushed through the enlarged gap 47. As soon as the spacer body 15d of the pin 15 comes to lie in the intermediate space 47, the pressure actuators 40a, 40b are shifted back into their initial position due to the force of the springs 35a, 35b. The stop 15e of the pin 15 is now on the locking walls 45a, 45b.

Zum Öffnen des Verschlusses werden die Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b betätigt, wodurch diese den Hut 15f freigeben und der Stift 15 herausgezogen werden kann.To open the shutter, the pressure actuators 40a, 40b are actuated, whereby they release the hat 15f and the pin 15 can be pulled out.

Der verriegelte Zustand des Verschlusses ist in den Figuren 5 bis 7 dargestellt. Wie insbesondere in Fig. 5 ersichtlich, ragt der Kopf 15d, 15f des Stiftes 15 durch die Druckbetätiger 40a, 40b hindurch. Der Verschlussdeckel 50 weist hier eine Vertiefung 56 auf, in welche der Hut 15e teilweise greift.The locked state of the closure is in the FIGS. 5 to 7 shown. As in particular in Fig. 5 as can be seen, the head 15d, 15f of the pin 15 projects through the pressure actuators 40a, 40b. The closure lid 50 here has a recess 56 into which the hat 15e partially engages.

In Fig. 5 ist ebenfalls ein Armband 1 angedeutet. Der Grundkörper 15b des Stifts 15 ragt durch ein Loch 2 im Armband 1 hindurch. Damit dieses gut gehalten ist, ist das Armband 1 so gefertigt, dass das Loch 2 zu Beginn kleiner als der Grundkörper 15b des Stifts 15 ist. Bei der Montage des Verschlusses wird der Grundkörper 15b durch das Loch 2 hindurchgepresst, wodurch das um dieses herum angeordnete Material des Armbandes 1 etwas weggedrückt wird und so den Grundkörper 15b eng umschliesst.In Fig. 5 is also a bracelet 1 indicated. The main body 15b of the pin 15 protrudes through a hole 2 in the bracelet 1 therethrough. So that this is kept well, the bracelet 1 is made so that the hole 2 at the beginning is smaller than the main body 15 b of the pin 15. During assembly of the closure of the main body 15 b through the hole. 2 pressed through which the arranged around this material of the bracelet 1 is slightly pushed away and so closely surrounds the body 15 b.

Hat das Armband 1 eine Reihe von Löchern 2 (vgl. Fig. 2), so ist sein Weite einstellbar, indem die Länge des freien Endes des Armbandes 1, welches durch den Zwischenraum 14 am Verschlussende 10a hindurchragt, festgelegt und der Stift durch das entsprechende Loch 2 hindurchgeführt wird.Has the bracelet 1 a series of holes 2 (see. Fig. 2 ), so its width is adjustable by the length of the free end of the bracelet 1, which protrudes through the gap 14 at the closure end 10 a fixed, and the pin is passed through the corresponding hole 2.

Der Verschluss ist für verschiedene Armbänder verwendbar, die ein oder mehrere Löcher aufweisen, insbesondere für solche Armbänder aus Leder, Textil, Plastik, etc. wie sie für die Befestigung von Uhren am Handgelenk verwendet werden. Das Armband kann aus einem einzelnen länglichen Teil bestehen, so es durch Befestigungselemente an der Uhr hindurchgeschlauft und endseitig am Verschlussende 10a bzw. am Verschlusskopf 30 befestigt wird. Es kann auch aus mindestens zwei Teilen bestehen, die endseitig an der Uhr sowie am Verschluss befestigt werden.The closure is useful for various bracelets having one or more holes, particularly for such leather, textile, plastic, etc. bracelets as are used for attaching watches to the wrist. The bracelet may consist of a single elongated part, so it is looped through fasteners on the clock and the end of the closure end 10a and the closure head 30 is attached. It can also consist of at least two parts, which are attached to the end of the clock and the closure.
