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 58 9 discloses 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 fixing 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 secondly an integral insert of the end of a bracelet, the bar and the insert being complementary to cooperate by interlocking one into the other by constituting removable assembly means able to make the bracelet interchangeable .
  • the bar is formed by two cylindrical rods having at least one flat, said flat being arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing made in said at least one insert, said at least one housing having a substantially rectangular opening to receive said at least one flat, each rod being telescopic so as to pass from a first position A in which the rod is deployed and the insert is adapted to be positioned on the stem of the rod, to a second position B in which the bar is retracted and said insert is locked on the rod of the bar.
  • the Figures 1 to 4 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 fixing 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 insert secured to the end of the bracelet 2, the bar 4 and the insert 20 being complementary to cooperate by interlocking one into the other by constituting removable assembly means adapted to make the bracelet interchangeable.
  • the watch case comprises a central horn comprising a passage 30 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 in one piece and can be removably provided and held on the watch case 1, by means of screws for example. Such an arrangement allows to assemble and disassemble the horn easily and quickly.
  • the horn is formed with the watch case.
  • the bar 4 is formed by at least one 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 200 made in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand 2 or a link.
  • the bar 4 is formed by two rods 40, each comprising two flats 41 parallel and symmetrical, and the two rods 40 being separated by a spring 5 pushing one from the other, the rods 40 tending to be returned to the deployed position by the spring 5 disposed in the housing 30 of the horn 3 until the rods are not locked.
  • the rod 40 is provided telescopically so as to pass from a first position A in which the rod is deployed and the insert 20 is able to be positioned on the rod 40, towards a second position B in which the rod is retracted and the insert is locked on the rod 40 of the bar.
  • the rod 40 comprises at least one guide track 42 having an L-shape, or bayonet-shaped, and extending over a part of its length, the track 42 comprising at least one notch 43, on the basis of the L , so as to define the retracted position of the rod 40.
  • the rod 40 comprises at least one handling member at its free end so as to rotate it from the first position A in which the flat portion 41 of the rod is adapted to receive the insert, to the second position B in which the insert 2 is locked on the bar 4.
  • the manipulation member comprises a collar 44 integral with each of the ends of the rod 40, the rod 40 and the collar 44 then forming a single element. It may also be envisaged to assemble the flange 44 at the end of the rod 40 by means of an insertion tip mounted in a hollow portion of the rod 40. An internal bulge is then arranged at the end. the rod 40 to cooperate with the insertion tip, in order to clipper the flange 44 in the rod 40. Other methods of fixing the flanges 44 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 horn 3 comprises guiding and locking means arranged to slide in the track 42 and guide the rod 40 during a change of position.
  • These guiding means in particular visible on the Figures 2a and 2b , comprise at least one needle 31 constrained by means of a spring 32 so as to limit play and ensure good contact of the needle in the track 42 of the rod 40.
  • the needle 31 also makes it possible to lock the rod in the retracted position, the latter cooperates with the notch 43, on the base of the L, so as to maintain the rod 40 in the retracted position.
  • the insert 2 comprises a housing 200 having a substantially rectangular opening 210 for receiving the flat portion 41 of the rod 40, 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 housing 200 is made in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand.
  • the housing 200 is in the form of an open housing formed by a cylindrical groove machined in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand.
  • This cylindrical groove comprises a rectangular opening 210 for introducing and maintaining the rod 40 of cylindrical shape which comprises at least one flat 41 to correspond to the shape of the housing.
  • the groove 211 has a C-shaped section.
  • the horn 3 comprises first vertical side walls 10 in which is provided a cylindrical excavation 11 to partially accommodate the flanges 44.
  • the flanges 44 here taking a preferably cylindrical form for housing in the excavations 11.
  • the insert 21, corresponding for example at the end of a strand, is then introduced at the level of the bar 4 by presenting the opening 210 of the housing 200 facing the flats 41 of the or the rods 40 in order to house the bar 4 in the dwelling 200.
  • the user performs the reverse operations, that is to say exert pressure on the rod or rods until the needle 31 abut on the wall of the guide groove 42, then rotates the rod about the axis AA through the flanges to the position B, and releases the pressure exerted so that the needle comes to be housed in the locking notch 43 under the effect of the spring 5.
  • the bracelet strand can no longer be dislodged as can be seen in the figure 2b .
  • At least one of the flanges 44 comprises a slot 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 44 and locking and / or unlocking 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.
  • the insert is disposed on a bracelet made of leather, synthetic fabric, plastic, metal, ceramic or composite.
  • the bar 4 is preferably metal but could also be plastic, ceramic or composite.
