Definitions

  • Watches are known in the prior art which are held on the user's wrist by means of a bracelet.
  • This bracelet can be made of leather, fabric, rubber, plastic, ceramic or even metal and is connected to the pairs of horns of the watch case via bars fixed between the horns for example.
  • the traditional bar includes several small sliding parts forming the ends and a cylinder with a spring in the center forming the body and maintaining the whole, which means that the bar is not rigid by its construction and presents a play for allow the parts to slide between them (ends folded in the cylindrical body).
  • the connecting link located between the box and the other links of the bracelet must have lateral clearances in order to be able to mount and / or dismantle the bracelet, which further decreases the quality of the retention of the bar.
  • the invention particularly aims to overcome the various drawbacks of these known techniques.
  • an objective of the invention is to remove the play visible at the interface between the connecting link and the housing.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide an assembly (housing-bar-connecting link) making it possible to have wider machining tolerances for the different parts which constitute it, and simplifying the assembly (It 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 co-axiality as in the case of current standard figures, to reduce the clearance by eliminating the addition of mobile 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 comprising a middle part, at least one pair of horns and a bottom (5), the connecting link comprising a passage receiving means for fixing to the watch case, the fixing means being integrated into the connecting link.
  • the fixing means comprise elastic return means comprising a cover (30) provided with elastic arms (32) in the link (10), the elastic arms (32) separating two pivots mounted movable inside passage, along the longitudinal axis of the passage and capable of changing each between a compressed position and a rest position in which the pivots are arranged to rest in a hole formed in each horn of the watch case.
  • the invention also relates in particular to 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 back, the connecting link comprising a passage receiving means for fixing to the watch case.
  • the fixing means are integrated into the connecting link and comprise a bar formed by elastic return means separating two pivots mounted mobile 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 case.
  • 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 in shape but can 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 making it possible to replace the elastic return means.
  • a cover 30 is placed in the link 10 and is crossed at its center and over its height by a bore 34 for the passage of a screw 35 or any other fixing means.
  • the cover 30 comprises two elastically deformable arms 32 positioned against the pivots 11, 12, and playing the role of springs.
  • the cover 30 has a clearance 31 facilitating the deformation of the elastic arms 32 and of the stops 33 to limit the movement of the elastic arms and avoid excessive deformation of the latter.
  • the cover 30 can be made of any material allowing elastic deformation such as certain plastics, certain composites or even certain metals or alloys.
  • the fixing means are integrated into the connecting link 10 and comprise a bar formed by elastic return means 13 separating two pivots 11, 12 mounted movably 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 pivots are arranged to rest in a housing formed in each horn of the case.
  • 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 fixing means and are projecting at the side walls of the link link 10, in order to be able to cooperate with the holes 101, 102 formed in the horns 2, 3 when the link link 10 is fixed on the watch case. 1.
  • the pivots 11, 12 are mounted movable 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 guiding in translation in the housing formed inside the connecting link 10, as can be seen in 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 that by exerting pressure simultaneously on each pivots the latter are found in the compressed position and are no longer projecting.
  • the other end of each of the pivots, called the head has a frustoconical or cylindrical shape, arranged to be housed in the holes of the horns 2,3 of the watch case 1.
  • the heads of the pivots allow, depending on the geometry of the holes , a “tensioner” operation, that is to say, to exert a restoring force to force the connecting link against the box firmly and without play.
  • the body can for example have a greater length so that it is better guided in the housing.
  • a person skilled in the art can also imagine a hollow part in the body of the pivots 11,12 to receive one end of the spring 13. It can also be provided with abutment means in the housing to limit the stroke of the pivots 11,12 in the housing.
  • the pivots 11, 12 can be made of plastic, ceramic, 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 else a frustoconical section, as can be seen in figure 2 .
  • the holes can be machined perpendicular in the horns as illustrated in the figures or have any inclination facilitating the machining of the holes in the horns.
