Definitions

  • the present invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, to the field of watches and parts of watches.
  • the present invention relates to a fastening system making it possible to removably attach a bracelet to a watch.
  • the present invention is not limited to the field of watches and can be applied in other fields, for example for attaching a strap to a bag, etc.
  • Such systems are known, for example, from documents US 2,807,855A And US 4,217,681A .
  • watch straps are attached thereto by means of bars which comprise a tubular body containing a spring and two pins placed at each end of said tubular body, said pins being pushed outwards by the spring.
  • bars which comprise a tubular body containing a spring and two pins placed at each end of said tubular body, said pins being pushed outwards by the spring.
  • each pin fits into a hole formed in the lugs of the watch case.
  • the uncoupling of the two pins of the bar does not is not easy and preferably requires a special tool.
  • posting EP 1 772 072 from Hirsch Armb software GmbH shows a first system of pins actuated by pivoting means which are meshed one inside the other. The pivoting movement of one causes the pivoting of the other and by this pivoting of the means the pins are driven into the retracted position or into the deployed position for fixing the bracelet to the watch case.
  • This system is nevertheless rigid and the two pins are driven together in a dependent manner. Consequently, if one of the pins is not opposite the corresponding hole in the horn, the known system is blocked and does not allow one of the pins to be fixed independently of the other.
  • the publication FR 2 445 120 from Timex Corporation describes another removable attachment system for wristwatches.
  • This solution comprises two pivoting elements on which are directly mounted pins intended to fit into the holes of the horns of the case of the watch. Due to the mounting of the pins on the pivoting elements, any traction on the bracelet will tend to move the elements into their disengaged or disengaged position, which will release the bracelet, an effect which is obviously not desired. Consequently, it is necessary to provide in addition a lock which will block the pivoting elements in the deployed position, this lock being complex to implement since it is necessary to provide for its voluntary unlocking (when it is desired).
  • the publication FR 2 988 271 from Interstrap SAS describes another system for locking an interchangeable removable part (for example a bracelet) to a fixed part (for example a watch case) using pins whose movement is controlled by elastically deformable and guided connecting arms, converging symmetrically to a central body which is actuated by an external control device.
  • This solution is complicated because it includes many small parts and includes a big weak point in the use of deformable link arms.
  • An object of the invention is to improve the known solutions of the state of the art.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a system for fixing a removable and interchangeable element (for example a watch strap) to a fixed element (for example a watch case).
  • a removable and interchangeable element for example a watch strap
  • a fixed element for example a watch case
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a solution which is simple, effective and easy to implement and which allows an easy exchange of a bracelet on a watch.
  • the invention relates to a system for attaching a variable element, such as a bracelet, to a fixed object, such as a watch case.
  • the system comprises for example at least two retractable pins, two movable levers independent of each other, the movement of the levers moving, for example linearly, the pins in a deployed position allowing the attachment of the variable element to the fixed object, or in a retracted position allowing the separation of the variable element from the fixed element.
  • the movement of the levers is preferably caused by the movement of a slider.
  • the levers have a rotational movement, in another variant a translational movement or a combination of the two movements, to move the pins.
  • the displacement of pins can be linear or other (curve for example).
  • the system further includes a locking mechanism to maintain the levers in a position corresponding to a retracted position of the pins.
  • each lever may comprise a head connected to a pin and controlling the movement of said pin, and a foot actuated by the slider to control the rotation of the lever.
  • Other equivalent means cams, gears, etc. can be used if the levers have a translation or combined rotation-translation movement.
  • an elastic means is placed between the pins to hold them in the deployed position.
  • this elastic means is a spring.
  • Other equivalent elastic means are of course possible.
  • the locking mechanism comprises at least two locks each having a hook intended to cooperate with a tooth on each lever or on each pin in order to maintain the system in the retracted position of the pins.
  • the locks are preferably connected by an elastic means, such as for example a spring.
  • the slider makes it possible to unlock the locking mechanism and release the levers, for example by sliding said slider.
  • the locking mechanism is unlocked by an insert which is moved (for example by sliding) when the system is inserted between the lugs of the watch case.
  • This embodiment allows automatic unlocking of the pins when the system is introduced between the lugs of a watch case, more precisely when the insert presses against the case of the watch.
  • the movement of the slider and the insert can be a sliding, a translation or a rotation or a combination of these movements.
  • the system mounts on a watch strap. In other embodiments, it is mounted on other similar objects (strap/shoulder strap for a bag, for example) for which it is desired to allow easy and rapid exchange of one part with respect to the other.
  • the system according to the invention allows a quick exchange of strap, for example to mount a strap in leather, or in fabric or in metal depending on the activity of the wearer of the watch: for example, he can decide to use a leather strap for an "elegant" effect with a dressy outfit, a metal or fabric strap for more sporting activities, while keeping the same watch (i.e. The box).
  • the fastening system 1 according to the invention has been illustrated in a deployed state of the pins (for example when the bracelet is mounted on a watch). More specifically, the system according to the invention comprises a frame 2 (for example a base plate) fixed to the bracelet (not shown in this figure).
  • This frame 2 comprises two channels 3, 3' which each guide a pin 4, 4' which are used for attachment to the case of the watch 30 (like the pins of the systems known and described above, see the figure 6 ).
  • a spring 5 is provided between the pins 4, 4', said spring 5 pushing the pins into their deployed position illustrated in figure 1 .
  • the frame 2 supports a first and a second return lever 6, 6', the rotation of which allows the deployment or withdrawal of the pins 4, 4' as explained below.
  • Each lever 6, 6' comprises at one end a lever head 7, 7' which is linked to each pin 4, 4', for example by a chamber 8, 8', which allows by the rotation of the levers 6, 6 'and their heads 7, 7' to move the pins from a deployed position (as in the figure 1 ) to a retracted position by compressing the spring 5 (as in the figure 2 ).
  • Each lever 6, 6' also comprises a foot 9, 9' which is in contact with a "T"-shaped slider 10, the linear movement of which (for example by sliding) in a slot allows the rotation of the levers 6, 6' around axes of rotation 11, 11' of the levers 6, 6'.
  • the downward movement of the slider 10 of the figures will drive the feet 9, 9' of the levers 6, 6' downwards, which will have the effect of rotating said levers 6, 6' on their axes 11, 11' .
  • This rotation results in the rotation of the heads 7, 7' which will drive the pins 4, 4' and bring them closer together against the force of the spring 5.
  • figure 2 thus illustrates the retracted position of the pins 4, 4'.
  • These locking means comprise in particular two bolts 12, 12' mounted on pins 13, 13' and interconnected by a spring 14, said bolts 12, 12' maintaining the levers in the position of the figure 2 when hooked to said levers 6, 6'.
  • the slider 10 by its movement therefore makes it possible on the one hand to bring the pins 6, 6' into their retracted position (from the figure 1 to the figure 2 ) and also to unlock the system to allow the pins to leave their retracted position and reach their extended position (from the figure 4 to the figure 1 ).
  • the system according to the invention is therefore simple to implement, is controlled only with a slider, allows independent activation of each pin (does not impose the simultaneous deployment of the two) and is very stable once the pins are in deployed position.
  • This automatic unlocking includes for example an insert 21 whose function replaces that of the cursor for unlocking as illustrated in the figure 4 .
  • This insert 21 moves (for example by sliding in a linear manner) when it comes into contact with the case of the watch 30 and when it is close to its fixing position.
  • FIG 6 illustrates the system of the invention mounted on the lugs 31, 31' of a watch 30. It can be used on the two attachments of the bracelet to the watch (only one is illustrated in the figure 6 ).
  • the translation movement of the pins 4, 4' is not perpendicular to the translation of the slider 10, in particular in a configuration where the bracelet has a curved handle with a curved bar.
  • the pins will present an angle of translation relative to that of the slider or of rotation, but the principles of the present invention such set out in this application remain applicable to this mode of execution.
  • blocking/locking means can comprise a pin, tightening means (screw or other) or any other means blocking the movement of the pin or of the insert.
