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 link link provided with a bar, both provided for connecting a bracelet to a case of a watch.
  • This bracelet can be leather, fabric, rubber, plastic, ceramic or metal and is connected to the pairs of horns of the watch case via bars fixed between the horns for example.
  • the traditional bar comprises several small sliding parts forming the ends and a cylinder with a spring in the center forming the body and now the whole, so that the bar is not rigid in its construction and has a game for allow the parts to slide between them (folded ends in the cylindrical body).
  • the connecting link between the box and the other links of the bracelet must have lateral clearances to be able to mount and / or disassemble the bracelet, which further reduces the quality of the maintenance of the bar.
  • the invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
  • an object of the invention is to eliminate the game visible at the interface between the link link and the box.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an assembly (casing-bar-link link) allowing to have wider machining tolerances for the different parts that constitute it, and simplifying the assembly (II is not not necessary according to the invention to have a precise initial positioning between the bar of the connecting link and the housing). It is also easier to guarantee perfect coaxiality as in the current standard cases of figures, to reduce the game by eliminating the addition of moving elements, and to limit the constituent elements of the bar.
  • a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case by means of a connecting link the watch case comprising a middle part, at least one pair of horns and a bottom (5), the connecting link comprising a passage receiving fastening means to the watch case.
  • the fixing means are integrated in the connecting link and comprise elastic return means separating two pivots movably mounted inside the passage, along the longitudinal axis of the passage and capable of changing each between a position. compressed and a rest position in which the pins are arranged to rest in a hole formed in each horn of the watch case.
  • the invention also relates and in particular any timepiece comprising at least one connecting link and its bar according to the invention.
  • the invention relates to a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case by means of a connecting link, the watch case comprising a middle part, at least one pair of horns and a bottom, the connecting link comprising a passage receiving fastening means to the watch case.
  • the fastening means are integrated in the connecting link and comprise a bar formed by elastic return means separating two pivots movably mounted inside the passage, along the longitudinal axis of the passage and likely to evolve. each between a compressed position and a rest position in which the pins are arranged to rest in a housing formed in each horn of the housing.
  • Link link 10 is parallelepipedal general shape and is intended to be housed without clearance between the horns 2, 3 of the watch case 1.
  • the connecting link 10 has two opposite side faces intended to be placed against the horns 2 and 3 of the housing 1. The two other opposite side faces are respectively one placed against the housing 1, and the other is intended to be on the side of the bracelet.
  • the latter comprises attachment means arranged to receive a bar for connecting the connecting link 10 with a bracelet strand.
  • the lateral face resting against the watch case 1 is shaped so as to match the shape of the case 1 and thus limit the clearance between the case 1 and the connecting link 10.
  • an opening is formed on the back of the connecting link 10 so as to be able to access the fastening means housed in a passage formed in the connecting link 10.
  • the opening 20 is located in the center of the connecting link 10, on the underside, so that it is not visible to the wearer.
  • the opening 20 is oblong but not very well take other forms. It is possible to conceal this opening 20 by means of a rubber cover for example, in this way no foreign body can be housed in the housing 100 via the opening 20.
  • the connecting link 10 comprises a cover 30 provided with elastic arms 32 for replacing the elastic return means.
  • a cover 30 is placed in the link 10 and is crossed at its center and on its height by a bore 34 for the passage of a screw 35 or any other fastening means.
  • the cover 30 comprises two elastically deformable arms 32 positioned against the pivots 11, 12, and acting as springs.
  • the cover 30 has a clearance 31 facilitating the deformation of the elastic arms 32 and stops 33 for limit the travel of the elastic arms and avoid excessive deformation of the latter.
  • the lid 30 may be made of any material that allows elastic deformation such as certain plastics, certain composites or even certain metals or alloys.
  • the fastening means are integrated with the connecting link 10 and comprise a bar formed by resilient return means 13 separating two pivots 11, 12 movably mounted inside the passage, along the longitudinal axis of the passage. and capable of evolving each between a compressed position and a rest position in which the pivots are arranged to rest in a housing formed in each horn of the housing.
  • the link 10 comprises two pivots mounted movable in translation in a housing, preferably of straight cylindrical section, formed in the link. These pivots form the fastening means and protrude at the side walls of the connecting link 10, to cooperate with the holes 101, 102 formed in the horns 2, 3 when the connecting link 10 is fixed on the watch case 1.
  • the pivots 11, 12 are movably mounted between a rest position in which they each cooperate with one of the holes 101, 102 of the horns 2, 3 to hold the link 10 against the housing 1, and a compressed position in which the link link 10 is free and the pivots 11,12 are retracted inside the link 10.
  • Each pivot 11, 12 comprises a cylindrical body ensuring the translational guidance in the housing formed inside the connecting link 10, as can be seen on the figure 2 .
  • a spring 13 is placed between the pivots, so as to exert a force tending to maintain the pivots in their rest position.
  • Each pivot 11, 12 also comprises, at one of its ends, a gripping notch 110,120, configured to cooperate with a tool, visible and accessible through the opening 20 so as to by exerting a pressure simultaneously on each of the pivots these are found in compressed position and are no longer protruding.
  • the other end of each of the pivots, called the head has a frustoconical or cylindrical shape, arranged to fit in the holes of the horns 2.3 of the watch case 1.
  • the heads of the pivots allow, according to the geometry of the holes , a “tensioning" operation, that is to say, to exert a restoring force to force the link link against the box firmly and without play.
  • the dimensions and shape of the pivots 11,12 may vary, the body may for example have a longer length so that it is better guided in the housing.
  • the skilled person can also imagine a hollow portion in the body of the pivots 11,12 to receive an end of the spring 13. It can also be provided abutment means in the housing to limit the stroke of the pivots 11,12 in the housing.
  • the pivots 11, 12 may be made of plastics, ceramics, composite materials or even metal or metal alloy, including amorphous or partially amorphous metal alloys.
  • the holes 100, 101 machined in the horns 2, 3 may have a straight cylindrical section or a frustoconical section, as can be seen in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the holes may be machined perpendicularly in the horns as shown in the figures or have any inclination facilitating the machining holes in the horns.
  • the axis A of the holes 100, 101 of the horns 2, 3 and the axis B of the bar are slightly offset, the axes A and B being parallel to each other and in the median plane of the link connecting, so as to offset the axis of the holes relative to the axis of the housing formed in the link 10, which allows to constrain the link link 10 against the watch case by the linear displacement of the pivots in the median plane of the connecting link, in a direction perpendicular to the housing receiving the pivots, and automatically eliminate the clearance between the connecting link 10 and the housing 1.
