Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clasp with a folding clasp for a bracelet and which is interchangeable between various bracelets.
  • Such clasps of the unfolding type with two or three blades are known, such as that described in the document EP0775455 , or any other type of clasps to bring and secure two strands of a bracelet in a closed position and to separate these two strands of the bracelet in an open position.
  • the document EP1188389 discloses a clasp comprising two interchangeable connecting pieces that can be fixed and articulated on the free end of the clasp blades by means of a locking device.
  • the connecting pieces are shaped so as to each receive a strand of a flexible bracelet or a chain bracelet. Fixing the connecting pieces on the end of the clasp blades is carried out using a hinge pin traversing transversely said connecting pieces and the free end of the blades serving as connecting pin and hinge.
  • This axis comprises an annular groove in which is housed a lock secured to a pusher subjected to the action of a spring.
  • the user must push on the pusher with the tip of a pen and slide the axis.
  • each pair of connecting pieces must be specially shaped to receive a flexible bracelet or a rigid link bracelet articulated to each other.
  • the document FR2819695 discloses a clasp comprising a base box and a blade for cooperating with the base housing.
  • the blade includes a pivoting pusher between an unlocked position and a locked position.
  • the document DE267495 describes a security lock system for jewelry including a security system and the document DE19746476 describes such a system for a chain allowing a harmonious chain path, even at different positions in the neckline area.
  • the document US7788774 discloses a clasp for removably connecting the free ends of chains, wires or cables, and more particularly a torsion locking clasp for jewelry such as necklaces, neck chains, bracelets and other chains.
  • the present invention relates to a clasp with a folding clasp for a wristlet to be worn, comprising a first blade fixed in a foldable and foldable manner around a hinge on a second blade; the clasp comprising a hooking element provided with a pin and intended to be fixed in a first strand of the bracelet, and a blind or through cavity defining a counter form, formed in the first blade and configured to cooperate with said pin; the cons shape being configured so that the hooking member can pivot freely in a plane of the first blade, in a first position to mount the hook member on the first blade removably, and in a second position for mounting the fastening element on the first blade (2) in a fixed manner.
  • the proposed solution provides an interchangeable clasp that adapts to various bracelets, regardless of the material of the bracelet.
  • the folding clasp of the invention can be easily removed from a bracelet for use with another bracelet, without the aid of tools.
  • the figure 1 illustrates an overview of a three-blade folding clasp according to one embodiment.
  • the folding clasp comprises a central branch 1 articulated at each of its ends, on one end of a first blade 2 and a second blade 3, each of the blades 2, 3 being foldable around joints 4.
  • These blades 2, 3 comprise at their ends not connected to the central branch 1 fastening means (not shown) for holding the blades 2, 3 in the closed position of the clasp folded on the central branch 1.
  • These fixing means may be for example any type mechanical clipping means or resilient fixing means for locking the blades 2, 3 in the closed position.
  • the clasp 10 comprises a fastening element 7 intended to be fixed in a short strand 8 of the bracelet.
  • a detail view of the hooking element 7 is shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the attachment element 7 comprises a stud 9 provided with an oblong-shaped head 11.
  • pin 9 is illustrated as a separate part of the attachment element 7 in which the pin 9 is assembled by means of a peg pin 9 fitting into a groove of the element of hanging 7.
  • the figures 4 and 5 are a detailed view of the first blade 2 showing a form against 13.
  • the attachment element 7 also comprises a hinge pin 12 transversely passing through the fastening element.
  • the end of the short strand 8 can be wound around the hinge axis 12 so as to fix the fastening element 7 on the short strand 8 in an articulated manner.
  • the first blade 2 is provided with the counter-form 13 intended to receive the stud 9 with the oblong-shaped head 11.
  • the counterform 13 is a blind or through-shaped cavity made in the first blade 2.
  • the cavity defining the counter form 13 comprises a first portion 14 and a third portion 22, each of lateral dimension greater than the lateral dimension of the elongated head 11.
  • the cavity defining the counter form 13 also comprises a second portion 15 conforming with the shape of the oblong-shaped head 11 of the pin 9.
  • the short strand 8 can be mounted on the first blade 2 of the buckle 1 by introducing the stud 9 into the first portion 14 of the counter form 13.
  • the short strand 8 (and the fastening element 7) is then pivoted relative to an axis 23 of the counter form 13 (see FIG. figure 2 ), in a first position in which the oblong-shaped head 11 is aligned with the second conforming portion.
  • the oblong-shaped head 11 can be pivoted in all pivotal orientations with respect to the axis 23.
  • the head 11 can pass through the second portion 15 into the third portion 22.
  • the short strand 8 can be pivoted again relative to the axis 23 so as to lock the head 11 in the against form 13. In this latter position, the attachment element 7 is mounted on the first blade 2.
  • the first position of the attachment element 7 corresponds to a position of the short strand 8 being rotated about 180 ° relative to the position of the short strand 8 when the bracelet is worn.
  • the second position of the fastening element 7 corresponds to a position of the short strand 8 being rotated about 180 ° with respect to the first position.
  • the attachment element 7 also comprises latching means, such as a ball pawl 16 cooperating with a recess 17 formed by the first blade 2.
  • the latching means are configured so as to immobilize and maintain the hooking element 7 in the second position, when mounted in the first blade 2.
  • the free end of the second blade 3 carries a device 18 for adjusting the useful length of the long strand of the bracelet (not shown) intended to be associated with the clasp 10.
  • the adjusting device 18 is shown comprising a cover 19 and carrying side walls 20.
  • the adjustment device 18 accommodates one end of the long strand of the bracelet in a conventional manner.
  • the long strand thus received in the adjusting device 18 can extend, according to the adjustment of its length, in guide loops 21, above the short strand 8.
  • the first blade 2 prevents the pivoting of the attachment element 7 and the short strand 8 around the counter form 13.
  • the clasp can not open as long as the long strand is mounted on the clasp 10 .
  • the hooking element 7 can pivot relative to the counter form 13. As long as the bracelet is worn, the hooking element 7 will not be detached from the first blade 2 , since the hooking element 7 can not pivot to the first position of the short strand 8 and the attachment element 7 where a stall is possible.
  • the fastening element 7 is made of titanium or titanium alloy so as to obtain good mechanical strength.
  • a fastening element 7 made of titanium or titanium alloy may be used in combination with other elements of the clasp made of a material other than titanium.
  • the body of the fastening element 7 may be made of a material other than titanium or titanium alloy, such as an alloy of a precious metal, and a titanium or alloy insert. of titanium comprising counter form 13 may be provided in the fastening element 7.
  • clasp 10 of the invention An advantage of the clasp 10 of the invention is that the clasp can be removed from the wristband simply and without tools.
  • the clasp 10 is interchangeable, that is to say that it can be used on other bracelets, provided that the fastening element 7 is previously attached to the short strand of the other bracelets.
  • a single clasp can therefore be used with several different bracelets that do not need to be dedicated to the clasp 10 but which may be existing bracelets on which the clasp 10 is adapted.
  • the clasp 10 of the invention is based on a simple and robust mechanical locking. It does not require a pusher or elastic elements.
  • the clasp 10 is also discrete since its components such as the fastening element 7 are invisible to the wearer when the bracelet is worn.
  • the pin 9 and the attachment element 7 are formed as a single piece.
  • the fastening element 7 of the invention can be used with another clasp system, for example a clasp with two blades or any other type of folding clasp.
  • the clasp of the invention can be applied to a clasp of a bracelet associated with a wristwatch.
  • the clasp of the invention can be associated with any other bracelet for any object to be fixed on a wrist or any other part. This object can also be a jewelery component.
