Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting a bracelet to a watch case comprising dressing elements made of a hard material such as metal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a connecting link provided for connecting a bracelet to a watch case.
  • This bracelet can be leather, fabric, rubber, ceramic or metal and is connected to the pairs of horns of the watch via bars fixed between the horns for example.
  • the case of the watch may be visible at the entrecorne. Indeed, if the user wants to change his metal bracelet that is usually inserted in the entrecorne, by a rubber strap, leather or fabric, the case becomes visible.
  • a disadvantage is that the metal link or ceramic link between the case and the bracelet can rotate around the bar now the link in the entrecorne, which can damage the case and night the aesthetics of the watch when a change of bracelet other than a similar bracelet.
  • Current fastening modes are therefore not satisfactory, once made visible, from an aesthetic point of view, this in addition to giving the impression of poor integration, or realization of bad bill.
  • the invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
  • an object of the invention is to block, or at least to contain the movement of the connecting link between the case and the bracelet so, in particular to preserve the case from any wear or degradation.
  • a connecting link for a watch strap arranged to connect the bracelet to a watch case between horns, a first end of the connecting link being attached to a bracelet strand and the second end of the connecting link being fixed to the housing by means for example of a bar, the link being between the horns and against the housing, or to all the less as close as possible to the case.
  • the invention is defined according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates and in particular any timepiece comprising at least one link link according to the invention.
  • the invention relates to a connecting link for a watch strap arranged to connect the bracelet to a watch case between horns, a first end of the connecting link being attached to a strap strand and the second end of the link link being fixed. to the box by means a bar for example, the link being between the two horns and against the housing,
  • the connecting link comprises pivotally locking means so as to firmly hold the connecting link between the horns.
  • FIG. 1 a wristwatch 1 comprising a bracelet portion 2 link connected to a watch case 3.
  • the watch case 3 comprises a middle 4 extended in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet by horns 5 pierced with a hole 50.
  • the box watch 3 is classically bounded downwards by a bottom 6, and upwards by a bezel 7 and an ice-cream 8.
  • the connecting link 10 is in the form of a one-piece body having a front face said first end 101, a rear face said second end 100, two side faces 102, an upper face and a lower face.
  • the connecting link 10 comprises a first hollow element, such as a bore 11, arranged to receive a bar 12 so as to be able to fix the connecting link 10 between the two horns 5.
  • This connecting link 10 is intended to connect a strand bracelet at the middle 4 of the watch case 3.
  • the bar 12 fixes the bracelet strand to the connecting link 10, and the link link 10 to the horns 5.
  • a first bar can fix the connecting link 10 to the horns 5, and a second bar can come connect the bracelet strand to the connecting link 10.
  • the connecting link 10 comprises means of locking pivotally about the axis formed by the bar 12, so as to firmly hold the connecting link 10 between the horns 5 and against the middle part 4.
  • the pivotally locking means comprise at least one first locking element 13 projecting from the rear face 100 of the connecting link 10, the at least one locking element 13 being in contact with the middle part 4 when the link 10 is disposed between the horns 5 and eliminating any play between the link 10 and the housing 3 after assembly.
  • the pivotally locking means also comprise at least one second locking element 14 projecting at the side faces 102 of the connecting link 10, the second locking element 14 being in contact with the horns 5 when the link 10 is arranged between the horns 5 and eliminating any play between the link 10 and the housing 3 after assembly.
  • the first and second locking elements 13 and 14 may be in the form of an insert of an elastically deformable material such as an elastomeric material such as rubber.
  • the inserts can be made directly with the link, or overmolded on the latter. Negative machining can also be provided in the link to receive the inserts, the latter then being inserted into force in the machining or negative machining.
  • the link may have one or more inserts of generally rectangular shape and arranged along the length or the depth of the link 10, the length of the insert or inserts being slightly less than the length and / or depth of the link.
  • length of the link it is understood that this is the length of the rear face 100, and by the depth of the link, it is understood that it is the length of the side face 102.
  • the locking elements can be made of a single holding with the connecting link 10 and in the same material.
  • locking elements are in the form of a letter or a logo, for example a "T” or " ⁇ ".
  • the latter may comprise a clearance through which the bar passes, the recess being able to receive a bracelet strand or a link.
  • the bracelet may be composed of bracelet strands made, for example, in a flexible material such as rubber or silicone, or leather, but also metal, ceramic or composite.
  • a connecting link 10 allows, on the one hand a better maintenance between the horns 5, and on the other hand a better implementation of the bracelet strand without having to modify its maintenance in the case 3. It also allows an aesthetic very pure between the strap attachment and the box, without unsightly play and variable from one room to another according to the tolerances of machining and assembly.
  • the watch comprises a locking element 15 in the form " ⁇ ", the locking element can be machined at the same time as the middle or attached to the middle part later in the case of an insert.
  • Such an embodiment thus makes it possible, when changing the type of bracelet, for example a metal bracelet changed by traditional leather strap, to have the vision of the middle band and therefore the vision of the locking means.
  • This is particularly advantageous when the locking means are in the form of a decorative element such as a logo.
