Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking or jewelery. It relates more specifically to a device for attaching a bracelet to an object, in particular a watch case.
  • the bracelets leather or metal, are attached to the horns of a watch case, through a bar formed of a tube, in which are mounted two pistons movable in translation, and an elastic member disposed between said pistons and tending to drive outwardly of the tube.
  • Said bar is mounted in a housing provided for this purpose at one end of the bracelet, and the pistons are engaged in blind bores made vis-à-vis in the horns of the box.
  • Such devices usually comprise a bar, of the type described above, on which is mounted, passing through the tube, an actuating member of the pistons.
  • Said actuating member is, for example, a radial finger integral with a pistons, as described in the patent CH 327 838 .
  • the finger is slidably mounted through an axial slot in the tube, and its movement along the slot makes it possible to push one of the pistons inside the tube.
  • the patent CH 614 589 describes a watch case with a device for attaching a bracelet to the box, the central horn has a cylindrical passage split longitudinally along the length of the horn, allowing the introduction of a bar for attaching a bracelet .
  • the bar is in the form of a cylinder with a flat along its entire length so as to let the bar during its introduction into the passage and hold it in place when it occupies a specific angular position.
  • the fastening devices thus described are generally used for interchangeable straps, they can replace at the option of the wearer. However, they are not free of drawbacks. It will be noted, in particular, that they require major structural modifications at the bar, such as, for example, the realization of an opening at the tube, or the transformation of the pistons. These changes result in significant manufacturing costs.
  • These fixing devices comprise, moreover, a prominent element, namely the actuating member, which can catch or injure the wearer of the watch.
  • the present invention makes it possible to overcome these disadvantages, by proposing a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case, the device comprising on the one hand a strip secured to the watch case by means of at least one horn, and on the other hand an integral insert of the end of the bracelet, the bar and the insert being complementary to cooperate by interlocking one into the other by constituting removable assembly means adapted to make the bracelet interchangeable.
  • the bar is formed by a cylindrical axis having at least one flat, said flat being arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one blind housing made in said insert, said blind housing having a substantially rectangular opening for receiving said at less a flat part of the bar, the bar comprising at least one control member so as to rotate it from a first position A in which the flat part of the bar is able to receive the insert, to a second position B in which said insert is locked on the bar.
  • the Figures 1a to 1d illustrate a wristwatch and detailed views of the fastening device of the bracelet 2 to the watch case 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the fastening device of the bracelet 2 to the watch case 1 comprises on the one hand a bar 4 secured to the watch case by means of at least one integral horn of the box, and on the other hand an integral insert of the end of the bracelet 2, the bar 4 and the insert 20 being complementary to cooperate by interlocking one in the other constituting removable assembly means adapted to make the bracelet interchangeable.
  • the watch case comprises a middle horn comprising a passage whose diameter corresponds to the diameter of the axis of the bar 4 so that it can rotate freely in the housing.
  • the middle horn 10 is formed of two parts, a first part 11 formed with the watch case and comprising a groove 110 arranged to receive the bar 4, and a second part formed by a removable cap 12 held on the first part, and implicitly on the watch case 1, by means of screws 13.
  • Such an arrangement allows to assemble and disassemble the bar 4 easily and quickly without the risk of damaging or bending.
  • the watch case 1 comprises means for maintaining the position of the bar 4.
  • these holding means are in the form of a pair of ball pawls 14, each ball pawl 14 being arranged to cooperate with a first pair of cavities 42 and a second pair of cavities 42 'formed on the rod 40 of 4.
  • the ball ratchet such as a jumper or a spring in support on the flat, for example.
  • the bar 4 is formed by a cylindrical rod 40 having at least one flat part 41, the flat part 41 being arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing 21 made in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand 2 or 'a link.
  • the housing 21 has a substantially rectangular opening 210 for receiving the flat portion 41 of the bar 4, the height and the length of the opening 210 corresponding to the height and the length of the flats 41 of the bar 4.
  • the bar 4 comprises two flats 41 disposed near the each end of the bar 4, so that there is a flat portion 41 on either side of the central horn, each of the flats 41 cooperating with an insert 20.
  • the bar 4 comprises at least one control member so as to rotate it from a first position A in which the flat portion 41 of the bar 4 is adapted to receive the insert, to a second position B in which said insert is locked on the bar 4.
  • the bar 4 can be brought from the position B to the position A by resilient return means such as a jumper spring eccentric or torsion spring on the bar.
  • control member comprises a collar 43 integral with each of the ends of the bar 4, the bar 4 and the flanges 43 then forming a single element. It may also be envisaged to assemble the flange 43 at the end of the bar 4 by means of an insertion tip mounted in a hollow portion of the bar 4. An internal bulge is then arranged at the end. of the bar 4 to cooperate with the insertion tip, in order to clipper the flange 43 in the bar 4. Other methods of fixing the flanges 43 may be envisaged, such as by gluing, welding, or by driving. These serve as axial retaining elements for the bar 4 and the insert 21.
  • the bar 4 can be composed in three parts, as it can form only one, with the flanges 43 pre-molded at the ends of the rod 40, the flats 41 and the cavities 42, 42 'being then milled directly on the rod 40. Furthermore, the sections of both the rod 40 of the bar 4 and the flanges 43 have been chosen preferably cylindrical to facilitate a degree of freedom in rotation about its axis AA.
  • the central horn 10 serves as a radial retaining element, complementary to the groove 110 whose shape and depth are complementary to that of the rod 40 so that the bar 4 can not emerge from the groove 110 during its introduction.
  • the central horn 10 comprises two housings receiving the ball pawls 14, the latter being arranged to cooperate with the cavities 42, 42 'of the bar 4, their respective sizes and their respective depths are configured so that the bar 4 has no longer any degree of freedom in the groove 110 when the pawls 14 are engaged in the cavities 42 or 42 'of the bar 4.
  • the attachment device comprises a housing 21 made in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand.
  • the housing 21 is in the form of an open housing formed by a cylindrical groove 210 arranged in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand.
  • This cylindrical groove 211 comprises a rectangular opening 210 for introducing and maintaining the bar 4 of cylindrical shape which has two flats 41 to correspond to the shape of the housing. It can thus be observed on sectional views of figures 2b and 3b the groove 211 has a C-shaped section.
  • the watch case 1 comprises first vertical side walls 100 facing which are provided lateral recesses 101 in the middle of the box to accommodate the flanges 43.
  • the flanges 43 here taking a preferably cylindrical shape, the side clearances 101 have a corresponding shape of cylindrical excavation in the watch case 1.
  • a mark 44 is provided on at least one of the flanges 43 to indicate the first position A of the bar 4 to set up the insert 20.
  • the ball pawls 14 cooperate with the first cavities 42 of the rod 40, once the mark 44 visible to the user, so as to lock the rod 40 in position A.
  • the user rotates the bar about the axis AA through the flanges to the position B until the flats 41 are angularly offset at least 45 ° around the axis AA, and more preferably 90 °, so the bracelet strand can no longer be dislodged as can be observed at the figure 4b .
  • the ball pawls 14 then cooperate with the second pair of cavities 42 'angularly offset by the same value about the axis AA.
  • At least one of the flanges 43 comprises a slot 45 arranged on its outer face, namely the face visible by the wearer of the watch, to cooperate with a tool or the wearer's finger to facilitate handling. of the flange 43 and the locking and / or unlocking of the insert 20 on the bar 4.
  • the insert 20 matches the shape of the central horn 10 so as to limit play during assembly and provide a good quality assembly.
