Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of fastening devices, and more specifically fastening devices for timepieces for attaching a strand to a box or a one-strand clasp.
  • the invention also relates to an attachment device for a leather bracelet or jewelery.
  • the device for attaching a bracelet to a box or a clasp is in the form of a bar or a pin.
  • the pin must be assembled and disassembled by means of a tool to be able to remove the wristband of the watch for example, or to be able to change the clasp.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by providing a fastening device allowing rapid assembly and / or disassembly, in particular without requiring the use of a tool.
  • the invention also aims, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a fastening device that is simple to implement and inexpensive.
  • the invention relates to a device for attaching two elements of a watch strap to allow the hooking or unhitching of said two elements, the first element comprising at least one bar at one of its ends.
  • the second element comprises two fixed gutters each comprising a longitudinal opening respectively opposite to one another, one of the two elements being able to pass from an unhooked position in which one of the elements is oriented according to a predetermined angular position relative to the other element, to a hooked position in which the two elements are coplanar after a rotation of a predetermined angle of one of the two elements relative to each other so that each gutter is articulated on the bar and hold the two elements together.
  • such a fastening device allows to assemble or disassemble easily and quickly a clasp on a bracelet strand for example.
  • the attachment device comprises two elements 1 and 2 of a watch strap to allow the hooking or unhitching of the two elements 1, 2.
  • the first element 1 comprises at least one bar 10 at one of its ends.
  • the two elements 1,2 may consist of a bracelet strand for the first element, and a clasp for the second element for example.
  • the second element 2 comprises two fixed gutters 20, 21 each comprising a longitudinal opening 210, 220 respectively opposite to each other.
  • the second element 2 is made of a single block.
  • one of the two elements can pass from an unhooked position in which one of the two elements is oriented according to a predetermined angular position with respect to the other element, towards a hooked position in which the two elements 1, 2 are coplanar after a rotation of a predetermined angle of one of the two elements relative to each other so that each channel is articulated on the bar 10 and keep hooked together the two elements 1 , 2.
  • one of the two elements is positioned perpendicular to the other, one of the elements being in the transverse plane and the other in the sagittal plane.
  • the rotation of one of the two elements is between 0 ° and 90 °, and more preferably between 45 ° and 90 °.
  • the rotation can be carried out clockwise or counterclockwise according to the orientation of the gutters 20, 21.
  • the respective longitudinal openings 210, 220 of the gutters 20, 21 have dimensions slightly smaller than the bar 10 so as to prevent any inadvertent stall, the opening having a width slightly less than the diameter of the bar 10.
  • the user when the installation of the gutters 20, 21 on the bar 10, the user must force slightly to insert the bar 10 and hear a "click" signifying the proper placement of the gutters 20, 21 on the bar 10.
  • gutters 20 and 21 each comprise a straight cylindrical housing into which the longitudinal openings 210, 220 open, the diameter of the housing being provided slightly greater than the diameter of the bar 10 to limit friction and facilitate rotation when pivoting. one element in relation to the other.
  • the diameter of the housing should not be too great to avoid a game too big and unpleasant for the wearer.
  • the first element comprises a central element 11 surrounding the bar 10
  • the second element 2 comprises a free space 22, arranged between the two channels 20, 21 and arranged to receive the central element 11 of the first element 1.
  • the two gutters 20, 21 are spaced from each other and define a space 22 between them which is arranged to receive the central element 11 at the time of setting place the first element with the second element.
  • such a fastening device can also be used for a flexible type bracelet made of leather, textile or a plastic material, for attaching the bracelet to a case or clasp, as for attaching a bracelet to link to a clasp.
  • first element 1 and the second element 2 are arranged perpendicularly relative to each other as illustrated in FIG. figure 2a .
  • the two elements 1 and 2 are then placed against each other perpendicularly so that the central element 10 rests in the space 22 as illustrated in FIG. figure 2b .
  • first element without central element 11 surrounding the bar 10 is conceivable, the central element 11 facilitating the establishment of the second element 2 and serving as a reference for the rotation.
