Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bracelet clasp, and in particular to watch bracelets.
  • a folding clasp comprising a rigid base provided with two longitudinal members, a clevis arranged to be attached to a strand of the bracelet, and at least one folding arm having a rear end attached to one end of the base by a first joint and having a front end attached to the yoke by a second joint.
  • the folding arm comprises two juxtaposed branches provided with pushers, and whose front ends are spaced apart by an elastic element.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by providing a clasp to meet the safety constraints and prevent the clasp opens easily.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a clasp to hold the yoke in place when the clasp is in the closed position, and prevent the stall strand attached to the yoke.
  • the invention also aims to provide a clasp design simple and economical to manufacture.
  • such a bracelet clasp provides increased security against theft attempts, the safety device preventing the lateral displacement of the yoke leading to unlocking the clasp when simultaneous pressures are exerted on both a pusher and on a flap of the yoke opposite said pusher.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising a bracelet provided with a clasp according to the invention.
  • a bracelet clasp according to a first embodiment will now be described in the following referring jointly to figures 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5 .
  • This first embodiment is known and is described as state of the art useful for understanding the invention.
  • the figures 1 and 5 are perspective views of the bracelet clasp which comprises a first rigid blade 1 having two longitudinal members 1a and 1b interconnected by a bridge. A first end 10 of this blade is hinged to a first end 20 of a second leaflet 2 by means of a folding blade 12. This second blade 2 is configured to receive a first strand of the bracelet at its second end 21 by means of a tree 23.
  • the other end 11 of the first blade 1 is articulated to a first end 30 of a third folding blade 3, the third blade 3 partially covering the second end 21 of the second blade 2 when the clasp is in the closed position.
  • the first blade 1 can be provided solid and have a receptacle comprising locking means configured to receive the branches 32 and 33.
  • the clasp also comprises a yoke 4, articulated to the branches 32 and 33, provided with first and second flaps 40 and 41 extending perpendicular to the yoke 4.
  • the flaps 40 and 41 have holes 42 and 43 configured to receive the ends of a shaft 44 to achieve the articulation between the branches 32 and 33 and the yoke 4.
  • the yoke 4 may have means for holding a second strand of the bracelet, such as a pin 45 as illustrated in the figures, so as to define a starting point for the second strand of the bracelet.
  • the figures 3 and 5 show first and second pushers 320 and 330 which are integral with the first and second branches 32 and 33. According to the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 5 , the pushers 320 and 330 are not placed in alignment with the shaft 44 passing through the branches 32 and 33, but before this alignment. According to another embodiment, the pushers 320 and 330 may be in alignment with the shaft 44.
  • a locking mechanism is arranged to keep the third blade 3 hooked on the first blade 1 when no pressure is exerted simultaneously on the pushers 320 and 330.
  • the longitudinal members 1a and 1b of the first blade 1 respectively have fixed hooks 14 and 15 configured to cooperate respectively with hooks 34 and 35 disposed on the branches 32 and 33. This hooking can be observed at the figure 3 .
  • the clasp comprises a safety device preventing the lateral displacement of the yoke 4 leading to an untimely unlocking of the clasp when simultaneous pressures are exerted on both a pusher 320 or 330 and a flap 40 or 41 of the yoke 4 opposite said pusher.
  • the safety device itself is in the form of a spacer 23 disposed at the second end 21 of the second blade 2, the spacer 23 being housed between the flaps 40 and 41 of the yoke 4 when the clasp is in the closed position.
  • the pushers 320 and 330 are not actuated and we can observe the locking of the clasp, the hooks 14 and 15 of the longitudinal members 1a and 1b respectively cooperate the hooks 34 and 35 of the branches 32 and 33.
  • each end of the spacer 23 comes into abutment respectively against each of the flaps 40 and 41 of the yoke 4 when pressure is exerted on one of the flaps 40 or 41 of the yoke 4, which prevents any deformation of the flaps 40 and 41.
  • a bracelet clasp according to a second embodiment will now be described in the following referring jointly to Figures 6a, 6b, 6c and 7 .
  • the figure 6a is a perspective view of the bracelet clasp according to the second embodiment, which comprises a first rigid blade 1 having two longitudinal members 1a and 1b interconnected by a bridge. A first end 10 of this blade is articulated at a first end 20 of a second leaflet 2 folding through a shaft 12. This second blade 2 is configured to receive a first strand of the bracelet at its second end 21 to medium of a tree 23.
  • the other end 11 of the first blade 1 is articulated to a first end 30 of a third folding blade 3, the third blade 3 partially covering the second end 21 of the second blade 2 when the clasp is in the closed position.
  • the clasp also comprises a yoke 4, articulated to the branches 32 and 33, provided with first and second flaps 40 and 41 extending perpendicular to the yoke 4.
  • the flaps 40 and 41 have holes 42 and 43 configured to receive the ends of a shaft 44 to achieve the articulation between the branches 32 and 33 and the yoke 4.
  • the yoke 4 comprises stops formed in the flaps 40 and 41 and are configured to cooperate with the spacer 23 of the safety device so as to prevent the rotation of the yoke 4 around the shaft 44 in the counterclockwise direction when the clasp is in closed position.
  • the abutment means are formed by recesses 46 and 47 comprising an opening 460 and 470 directed downwards, that is to say toward the blades of the clasp, so that the ends of the spacer 23 can be introduced into the recesses 46 and 47.
  • the end of the spacer 23 is housed in the recess 46 and thus blocks the opening of the yoke 4. In fact, the latter can no longer rotate counterclockwise around the shaft 44, and not can also not rotate clockwise, the pushers 320 and 330 blocking the yoke 4 when the clasp is in the closed position.
  • the recesses 46 and 47 allow one hand to block in rotation the yoke 4 when the clasp is closed, the spacer 23 abutting against the bottom 461, 471 of the recesses 46 and 47 when someone wishes to lift the clevis 4 while the clasp is in the closed position, and secondly each end of the spacer 23 abuts respectively against each of the walls of the recesses 46 and 47 formed in the flaps 40 and 41 of the yoke, which avoids any deformation of the flaps 40 and 41 of the yoke 4 when pressure is exerted on one of the flaps 40 or 41.
  • the recesses 46 and 47 are provided in such a way that the spacer 23 passes through each of the flaps 40 and 41 of the yoke 4.
  • the spacer 23 may comprise at each of its ends a ball pawl, each ball pawl being configured to cooperate with recesses 46 and 47 of hemispherical shape.
  • each ball pawl being configured to cooperate with recesses 46 and 47 of hemispherical shape.
