Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clasp for a wristwatch, and a bracelet and a wristwatch as such comprising such a clasp.
  • the first solution is simple and consists in providing the ends of each strand with cooperation means, in the form for example of a simple loop and a barb on the one hand cooperating with holes on the other hand.
  • cooperation means in the form for example of a simple loop and a barb on the one hand cooperating with holes on the other hand.
  • Such a solution has the disadvantage that when opening the cooperation means, the two strands of the bracelet are immediately disengaged and lead to a risk of falling of the wristwatch.
  • an intermediate clasp type element disposed between the two bracelet strands, which always remains integral with the ends of these two strands.
  • Such a clasp occupies two configurations: a closed configuration, provided for the wearing of the watch, in which the bracelet and the clasp extend around the wrist circumference, having a total length allowing the wristwatch to be held, and a open or deployed configuration which increases the length of the clasp and therefore the bracelet, by separating the two ends of the two strands of the bracelet, without detaching the clasp, to allow the passage of the hand and the removal of the watch.
  • this open configuration of the clasp the two strands of the bracelet are not disconnected, which minimizes the risk of falling of the watch.
  • a first objective is the search for optimum comfort when wearing the bracelet. For this, it is advantageous that the clasp marries at best the contour of a wrist, even a small wrist, when the clasp is in closed configuration.
  • a second objective is to achieve a large opening surface of the bracelet in the deployed configuration of the clasp, to facilitate the passage of a hand, adapted for the passage of a large hand.
  • the two objectives mentioned above may appear contradictory, because small clasp blades favor the achievement of the first objective to the detriment of the second objective, which would rather require blades of larger size.
  • a difficulty in producing a clasp thus consists in defining the compromise between marrying adequately and comfortably the wrist of a wearer of a wristwatch and providing an opening sufficiently large for the wristwatch. passage of the wearer's hand, regardless of the size of the wearer's hand and wrist.
  • the document EP1654950 describes for example a clasp of the state of the art.
  • a clasp is illustrated by the Figures 1 to 3 . It comprises two blades 1, 2 hinged together about an axis A1 at their first ends. Each of these two blades 1, 2 comprises a connection with respectively a bracelet strand 101, 102 via a respective axis A2, A3 positioned at their second end.
  • the first blade 1, commonly called the center blade is more specifically connected to a first strand 101 of the bracelet 100 via a lid 3.
  • the figure 1 illustrates the expanded configuration of the clasp, wherein the two blades 1, 2 are deployed, ie they form an obtuse angle, and extend substantially continuously about their hinge axis A1 to maximize the overall length of the clasp.
  • the figure 2 illustrates an intermediate configuration, in which the first blade 1 is brought closer to the second blade 2 by rotation about the hinge axis A1, so as to form an acute angle.
  • the figure 3 illustrates the closed configuration of the clasp, wherein the blades 1, 2 are folded over one another, namely that they form a substantially zero angle, and retained in this configuration by a locking device, which comprises a hook 6 arranged at the end of the first blade and cooperating with a locking pin 5 carried by the second blade 2.
  • a lever 4 carried by the cover 3 is adapted to actuate the locking device to allow its opening and return to the deployed configuration.
  • Such a solution of the state of the art meets the comfort requirements by the two blades 1, 2 which have a curvature r1, r2 substantially identical to be superimposed in closed configuration while marrying the best shape of a wrist.
  • the first blade is a movable blade 1, which rotates substantially 180 degrees about its hinge axis A1 between the two closed and deployed configurations of the clasp.
  • the length of the two blades 1, 2 is studied so that they can also take the shape of a small wrist.
  • the limited length of the clasp blades has the effect of limiting the opening surface offered by the clasp in deployed configuration, which can impede the passage of a hand, particularly in the case of a large hand.
  • Increasing the length of the blades would not be a satisfactory solution because it could affect the comfort of wearing, especially in the case of a small wrist.
  • the invention seeks to define a clasp solution to achieve an optimal compromise between wearing comfort and a satisfactory opening for the passage of a hand.
  • the invention seeks to define a clasp of small size, user-friendly handling and / or attractive aesthetics.
  • the movable blade 1 having rotated substantially 180 degrees about its hinge axis from the closed configuration of the clasp, it is in an inverted position vis-à-vis the wrist with respect to its positioning in closed configuration, in which its curvature r1 is inverted, so that it has a substantially convex shape seen from the wrist.
  • This convexity of the blade 1 may cause discomfort when passing the wristwatch to the wrist of a wearer, especially a wearer with a large hand.
  • the blade 1 has a shape that can form an obstacle, likely to abut against the hand of the wearer during the passage of the watch.
  • the invention provides in particular an improvement to such a clasp of the state of the art by allowing at least one movable blade to present a second predefined shape, which promotes the passage of a hand.
  • a movable blade in its second predefined shape defines a favorable overall shape of the clasp in its deployed configuration, without necessarily increasing the length of the clasp blades. This length is advantageously between 20 and 60 mm.
  • Such a solution is therefore based on at least one movable blade of a clasp which has a first predefined shape adapted to the closed configuration of the clasp, and which may have a second predefined shape different in an expanded configuration of the clasp to promote the passage of a hand.
  • Such a solution thus preserves the optimal comfort of the clasp in its closed configuration, while optimizing the passage area of a wrist in deployed configuration.
  • the clasp has a structure generally very close to the solution of the state of the art described with reference to the Figures 1 to 3 , whose identical or similar elements bear the same references and will not be described again in detail.
  • the mode of embodiment of the invention differs mainly from the state of the art by its movable blade 1.
  • the movable blade 1 comprises two parts 11, 12 of substantially the same length, articulated together by means of a hinge pin A11. This articulation is defined angularly by stops 11a, 11b of the first part 11, cooperating with corresponding stops 12a, 12b of the second part 12. These stops uniquely define the first and second shapes of the movable blade 1, in which the two parts 11, 12 occupy respective different positions.
  • the movable blade 1 can indeed occupy a first form C1 adapted to the closed configuration of the clasp.
  • This first shape is thus close to the shape of the second blade 2 on which the movable blade 1 rests in the closed configuration of the clasp, particularly illustrated by the figure 8 .
  • the figure 4 represents the clasp in deployed configuration, in which the movable blade 1 has retained its first form C1: in such a form, the deployed clasp is similar to that of the state of the art represented by FIG. figure 1 .
  • the movable blade 1 By its rotation about the hinge axis A1, the movable blade 1 has reversed its position vis-à-vis the wrist, and its curved shape, concave view of the wrist P in closed configuration, intended to marry the shape of a wrist P, becomes convex view of the wrist P once the angle between the two blades become obtuse.
  • the movable blade 1 may, however, have a second predefined shape C2, illustrated by the figure 5 in which the two parts 11, 12 have been rotated about their hinge axis A11. This rotation has the effect of moving apart the hinge axis A11, as well as the two parts 11, 12 of the movable blade 1, the wrist P.
  • the two parts 11, 12 of the movable blade 1, which were on the wrist side P relative to the segment S connecting the two axes A1, A2 positioned at the two ends of the movable blade 1 in its first form C1 illustrated on the figure 4 are transferred beyond this segment S into the second form C2 of the moving blade, illustrated by the figure 5 .
  • the movable blade 1 In its second form, the movable blade 1 thus protrudes beyond the segment S, according to a view from the wrist P. In this second predefined shape of the movable blade, its convexity is thus suppressed. It even has at least one concave portion.
  • the movable blade 1 In its second form C2, the movable blade 1 has no shape likely to form an obstacle or hindrance to the passage of a hand.
  • the deployed clasp thus defines a passage area of a hand increased relative to this passage surface of a hand in the configuration of the clasp of the figure 4 .
  • the distance to the segment S of the hinge axis A11 is substantially identical in the two forms C1, C2 predefined of the movable blade, but the latter is positioned on either side of this segment S in these two forms. Note that this feature allows the movable blade 1 in its second form C2 to extend the blade 2 with substantially the same curvature when the clasp occupies its configuration of the figure 5 .
  • the amplitude of the respective rotation of the two parts 11, 12 of the movable blade, as well as their two extreme positions, are perfectly predefined by the stops provided on the parts 11, 12.
  • the second stops 11b, 12b respectively of the parts 11, 12 are supported on one another, as illustrated by the figure 6 .
  • their first abutments 11a, 12a bear against each other.
  • the range of travel of the parts 11, 12 of the movable blade 1 between their two predefined positions, corresponding to each of the predefined forms of the clasp is preferably of the order of 60 °. This amplitude is advantageously between 20 ° and 80 ° inclusive.
  • This controlled amplitude or deflection of the rotation of the two parts 11, 12 of the movable blade not only allows the movable blade 1 to have a second advantageous shape, but also to facilitate handling of the clasp.
  • this deflection makes it possible to achieve the main objective of optimizing the passage of a hand of a wearer. Too little travel will have little effect on the moving blade, which would retain the disadvantages of the state of the art. Too much travel would have the effect of reducing the opening area of the clasp deployed, which would have an effect contrary to that sought.
  • closing the clasp comprises rotating the movable blade 1 about the hinge axis A1 to an intermediate configuration, an example of which is illustrated by the figure 7 , in which the first portion 11 of the movable blade has reached its final position bearing against the second movable blade 2, while its second portion 12 remains spaced apart because the movable blade 1 has remained in its second form C2.
  • the continuation of the same movement causes the rotation of this second portion 12 around the hinge axis A11, until the movable blade 1 returns to its first form C1, which corresponds at the same time to the final position of the moving blade 1, superimposed on the second blade 2, in the closed position of the clasp.
  • the second blade 2 advantageously has a hollow surface forming a housing 2a for receiving the central articulation A11 of the movable blade 1, visible on the figure 8 , which promotes the rotation of the second portion 12 relative to the hinge axis A11 while the first portion 11 is already in place against the blade 2, in the intermediate configuration, and that the rotation of the two blades 1, 2 between them around their articulation axis A1 is finalized.
  • This housing 2a can be formed by a slight milling 2a made in the body of the second blade 2.
  • the clasp according to the embodiment of the invention is equipped with a locking device which keeps the two blades 1, 2 fixed together in the closed configuration of the clasp, as represented by the figure 8 .
  • the invention does not specifically relate to the device for locking and / or unlocking the blades, but it is advantageously compatible with a user-friendly and secure locking device which is particularly efficient, which is similar to the locking device described in the document EP1654950 .
  • the two forms C1, C2 of the movable blade are predefined shapes in that they are uniquely achieved by a deliberate movement of the wearer of the watch to reach a stop.
  • One or both predefined shapes can be stable shapes or not.
  • a stable form can be obtained by combining a certain resistance voluntarily imposed at the joint between the two parts 11, 12 around the hinge axis A11 and abutments.
  • the two parts 11, 12 of the movable blade have been chosen substantially of the same length, their hinge axis A11 being positioned substantially in the middle of the movable blade 1. Alternatively, these parts could have a different length.
  • the movable blade 1 may comprise more than two articulated parts.
  • Figures 9 to 12 illustrate a second embodiment in which the movable blade 1 comprises four parts 11, 12, 13, 14 which are articulated in pairs by respective hinge pins A11, A12, and A13.
  • Each of these joints is similar to the articulation A11 described above, with a limited movement by stops, defining two predefined positions, as is illustrated for example with the two positions of the articulation A13 by the Figures 11 and 12 , with the aid of the first stops 13a, 14a and the second abutments 13b, 14b respectively of the two parts 13, 14.
  • the angular displacement of the parts 12, 13, 14 relatively respectively to the parts 11, 12, 13 is here of the order of 30 °.
  • the angular movement of the different parts depends in particular on the number of joints.
  • the range of movement of the various movable blade portions 1 advantageously remains between 20 ° and 80 °.
  • the movable blade 1 may also have two predefined shapes, depending on whether each articulation A11, A12, A13 is in a position defined by first stops or by second stops.
  • the figure 9 illustrates the first predefined shape C1 of the movable blade, intended to be used in closed configuration of the clasp.
  • This first form is convex, seen from the wrist, in deployed configuration, similar to the shape of the figures 1 and 4 .
  • the figure 10 illustrates the second form C2 predefined, useful for optimizing the opening of the clasp for the passage of a hand deployed configuration of the clasp.
  • the second form is predefined so as to substantially follow the segment S, which maximizes the length of the movable blade.
  • the hinge pins A13, A14, A15 protrude beyond the segment S. The convex shape is thus removed.
  • the movable blade 1 even has a slightly concave portion, seen from the wrist of the wearer of the wristwatch.
  • the absolute value of the radius of curvature of the movable blade 1 or of a movable blade portion 1 can vary, or even significantly vary, when the movable blade 1 passes from its first form C1 to its second form C2 .
  • the absolute value of the radius of curvature of a movable blade portion 1 in its second form C2 is greater, or even significantly larger, than the absolute value of the radius of curvature of the movable blade 1 in its first form C1, by example 1.5 times to 5 times larger. This can make it possible to marry at best the parts of a hand having the strongest curvatures, such as the outline of the thumb, during the passage of the watch.
  • FIGS 13 to 16 illustrate a second embodiment, in which the movable blade 1 is always divided into four parts 11, 12, 13, 14, by way of example. Of course, any other number of parties greater than two would be possible.
  • This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment by the links A11, A12, A13 between the different parts, which are formed by areas of lesser thickness of the movable blade 1.
  • the areas of less thickness are obtained by removal of material, symmetrically from the two opposite surfaces of the movable blade 1: this removal of material takes the form of hollow portions in the form of semicircles of radius r, which leave only a small minimum thickness of material, positioned centrally in the thickness of the movable blade 1.
  • the movable blade 1 can be formed of a superelastic alloy, such as a nickel-titanium alloy such as Nitinol, in order to maximize the thickness e and thus optimize the tensile strength and torsion of the moving blade 1 for a given maximum angular deflection of the different blade portions.
  • a superelastic alloy such as a nickel-titanium alloy such as Nitinol
  • such articulation is defined angularly by stops, so as to define uniquely the first and second predefined shapes of the movable blade 1, by the relative positioning of the different parts 11, 12, 13, 14 of the movable blade 1.
  • stops are formed by side walls of each portion of the blade at each of the necks.
  • the necks advantageously do not cover the entire cross section of the movable blade 1, which maintains side walls of unchanged thickness, but cut to allow pivoting and forming stops.
  • the stops could be removed and the Angular deflection could be limited by the stiffness of the collars.
  • the zones of lesser thickness could have another shape, inducing a deformation of the blade that can move away from a pure pivot movement.
