Definitions
- the invention relates to a bar for fixing a bracelet to a watch.
- the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising at least one such bar.
- the spring bar is for example provided at its ends with two pivots, one of which is retractable to allow to separate the bracelet and the watch.
- the spring bar is inserted into a loop of the bracelet, and each pivot is intended to be introduced into a corresponding housing of a respective horn of the watch case, allowing the attachment of the bracelet to the watch.
- Such a bar is for example described in the patent document CH 327838 A .
- the bar comprises a hollow body provided with a longitudinal groove; two pivots arranged in the hollow body; a spring disposed in the hollow body, bearing between the pivots; and a lug.
- the two pivots are able to slide in a respective end of the hollow body.
- the spring pushes the pivots to penetrate their outer ends each in corresponding housings of the horns of the watch case.
- the lug is integral with one of the pivots and extends through the longitudinal groove.
- the lug is able to slide along the longitudinal groove, allowing the pivot to which it is attached to slide in the hollow body.
- the lug is operable via a specific tool, a user introduced into one end of the bracelet to move the lug against the action of the spring and out the pivot of the corresponding housing of the watch case horn.
- a disadvantage of such a spring bar is that it does not allow a user to easily retract the two pivots in one movement, and without tools.
- the use of such a bar is therefore restrictive for a user, and does not allow the latter to easily disconnect the bracelet and the watch.

- the additional groove of the hollow body is a second longitudinal groove; and the hollow inner tube has on the side opposite the second pivot a second helical groove, the lug further extending through the second helical groove and being slidable along the second helical groove, the second helical groove. having a length greater than that of the first helical groove, the helicoid defined by the second helical groove wound on the hollow inner tube in a direction opposite to that of the helicoid defined by the first helical groove.
- the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising at least one fixing bar described above, and which comprises the features mentioned in the dependent claim 11.
- the Figures 1 to 3 represent a bar 1 for fixing a bracelet to a watch according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- the bracelet and the watch are not shown in the figures for the sake of clarity.
- the bracelet is for example made of leather, metal, a ceramic material, or else another material, without this being limiting in the context of the present invention.
- the bar 1 comprises a hollow body 2, a first pivot 4 arranged in the hollow body 2, and an axis 6 arranged in the hollow body 2 and provided with a second pivot 8.
- the bar 1 is intended to be inserted in a loop the bracelet, each of the first and second pivots 4, 8 to be introduced into a corresponding housing of a respective horn of the watch case, allowing the attachment of the bracelet to the watch.

- the spring 10 and the hollow inner tube 14 are arranged in the hollow body 2.
- Each of the first and second pivots 4, 8 is slidable in a respective end 15A, 15B of the hollow body 2.
- the hollow body 2 is provided, on the side of the first pivot 4, with a longitudinal groove 16, the longitudinal direction being taken as the greatest direction in which the hollow body 2 extends.
- the longitudinal groove 16 forms an opening in the surface of the hollow body 2.
- the hollow body 2 further comprises, on the side of the second pivot 8, an additional groove 18.
- the additional groove 18 is a helical groove.
- the helical groove 18 forms an opening in the surface of the hollow body 2.
- the helical groove 18 of the hollow body 2 has a length less than that of the helical groove 22 of the hollow inner tube 14.
- the helicoid defined by the groove helical 18 of the hollow body 2 has an inclination angle, relative to a plane P1 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in which the hollow inner tube 14 extends, less than an inclination angle formed by the helicoid defined by the helical groove 22 of the hollow inner tube 14 relative to the plane P1.
- the helicoid defined by the helical groove 22 is wound on the hollow inner tube 14 in the same direction as the helicoid defined by the helical groove 18 on the hollow body 2.
- the axis 6 further comprises a pin 20 secured to the second pivot 8.
- the post 20 extends from an outer surface of the second pivot 8, substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in which the second pivot 8 extends.
- the second pivot 8 and the spring 10 are inserted into the hollow inner tube 14.
- the spring 10 is held in abutment between the first and second pivots 4, 8. As shown in FIG. figure 1 the spring 10 is for example a coil spring.

- the lug 12 extends through the longitudinal groove 16 and is suitable to slide along this longitudinal groove 16.
- the lug 12 is intended to be handled by a user of the watch, and thus constitutes an actuating member of the bar 1, allowing the retraction of the first and second pivots 4, 8 as will be detailed later.
- the hollow inner tube 14 is configured to cooperate with the first pivot 4 and with the second pivot 8. More specifically, the hollow inner tube 14 comprises, on the side of the second pivot 8, a helical groove 22.
- the helical groove 22 forms an opening in the surface of the hollow inner tube 14.

- the figure 2 represents the bar 1 in the rest position, that is to say with the first and second pivots 4, 8 deployed outside the hollow body 2.
- the spring 10 pushes in fact the first and second pivots 4, 8 in opposite directions, via the hollow inner tube 14 on the one hand and the axis 6 on the other. This allows the first and second pivots 4, 8 to be introduced into corresponding housings of the horns of the watch case, and thus to fix the bracelet to the watch.
- the spring 10 exerts a force tending to push the hollow inner tube 14 and the axis 6, and therefore the first and second pivots 4, 8, in opposite directions. The rest position of the bar 1 is then found.
- a bar 30 for fastening a bracelet to a watch according to a second embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the Figures 4 to 6 .

Description
L'invention concerne une barrette pour la fixation d'un bracelet à une montre.The invention relates to a bar for fixing a bracelet to a watch.
L'invention concerne également une montre-bracelet comportant au moins une telle barrette.The invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising at least one such bar.
Dans le domaine des montres-bracelets, il est connu de fixer le bracelet à la montre au moyen d'au moins une barrette à ressort. La barrette à ressort est par exemple munie à ses extrémités de deux pivots dont l'un est rétractable pour permettre de désolidariser le bracelet et la montre. La barrette à ressort est insérée dans un passant du bracelet, et chaque pivot est destiné à s'introduire dans un logement correspondant d'une corne respective de la boîte de montre, permettant la fixation du bracelet à la montre. Une telle barrette est par exemple décrite dans le document brevet
Toutefois, un inconvénient d'une telle barrette à ressort est qu'elle ne permet pas à un utilisateur de pouvoir rétracter facilement les deux pivots d'un seul mouvement, et sans outil. L'utilisation d'une telle barrette est donc contraignante pour un utilisateur, et ne permet pas à ce dernier de désolidariser facilement le bracelet et la montre.However, a disadvantage of such a spring bar is that it does not allow a user to easily retract the two pivots in one movement, and without tools. The use of such a bar is therefore restrictive for a user, and does not allow the latter to easily disconnect the bracelet and the watch.
L'invention a donc pour but de fournir une barrette pour la fixation d'un bracelet à une montre, permettant à un utilisateur de pouvoir rétracter facilement les deux pivots d'un seul mouvement, de préférence d'un seul doigt, et sans outil.The invention therefore aims to provide a bar for fixing a bracelet to a watch, allowing a user to easily retract the two pivots in a single movement, preferably a single finger, and without tools .

Chacun des premier et second pivots 34, 38 est apte à coulisser dans une extrémité respective 15A, 15B du corps creux 32. Le corps creux 32 est muni, du côté du premier pivot 34, d'une première rainure longitudinale 46, la direction longitudinale étant prise comme la plus grande direction selon laquelle le corps creux 32 s'étend. La première rainure longitudinale 46 forme une ouverture dans la surface du corps creux 32. Le corps creux 32 comporte en outre, du côté du second pivot 38, une rainure additionnelle 48. Dans le mode de réalisation particulier illustré sur les
Le premier axe 33 comprend en outre un ergot 52 solidaire du premier pivot 34. L'ergot 52 s'étend depuis une surface extérieure du premier pivot 34, sensiblement perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale selon laquelle s'étend le premier pivot 34. L'ergot 52 est destiné à être manipulé par un utilisateur de la montre, et constitue ainsi un organe d'actionnement de la barrette 30, permettant la rétractation des premier et second pivots 34, 38 comme cela sera détaillé par la suite.The

Le premier pivot 34, le second pivot 38 et le ressort 40 sont insérés dans le tube interne creux 44. Le ressort 40 est maintenu en appui entre les premier et second pivots 34, 38. Comme illustré sur la
Le tube interne creux 44 est configuré pour coopérer avec le premier pivot 34 et avec le second pivot 38. Plus précisément, le tube interne creux 44 comporte, du côté du premier pivot 34, une première rainure hélicoïdale 56 et, du côté du second pivot 38, une seconde rainure hélicoïdale 58. Les première et seconde rainures hélicoïdales 56, 58 forment des ouvertures respectives dans la surface du tube interne creux 44. La première rainure hélicoïdale 56 présente une longueur supérieure à celle de la seconde rainure hélicoïdale 58. L'hélicoïde définie par la première rainure hélicoïdale 56 s'enroule sur le tube interne creux 44 dans un sens opposé à celui de l'hélicoïde définie par la seconde rainure hélicoïdale 58. De préférence, l'hélicoïde définie par la première rainure hélicoïdale 56 présente un angle d'inclinaison, par rapport à un plan P1 perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale selon laquelle s'étend le tube interne creux 44, dont la valeur absolue est différente de, par exemple supérieure à, la valeur absolue d'un angle d'inclinaison formé par l'hélicoïde définie par la seconde rainure hélicoïdale 58 par rapport au plan P1. L'ergot 52, solidaire du premier pivot 34, s'étend à la fois à travers la première rainure hélicoïdale 56 du tube interne creux 44, et à travers la première rainure longitudinale 46 du corps creux 32, et est apte à coulisser le long de ces deux rainures 46, 56. Le tenon 54, solidaire du second pivot 38, s'étend à la fois à travers la seconde rainure hélicoïdale 58 du tube interne creux 44, et à travers la seconde rainure longitudinale 48 du corps creux 32, et est apte à coulisser le long de ces deux rainures 48, 58.The hollow
