Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bar for attaching 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 the bracelet and the watch to be separated.
  • the spring bar is inserted in 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 bracelet to be attached 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 arranged in the hollow body, resting between the pivots; and a lug.
  • the two pivots are able to slide in a respective end of the hollow body.
  • the spring pushes back the pivots to make their outer ends penetrate each into corresponding housings of the lugs 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 secured to slide in the hollow body.
  • the lug can be actuated via a specific tool, which a user introduces into one end of the bracelet to move the lug against the action of the spring and make the pivot come out of the corresponding housing of the watch case horn.
  • Other fixing bars provided with lugs which can slide in a groove are disclosed in the documents. US2014 / 250637A1 , DE202010013569U1 , EP0089166A1 and the patent US9314071 B2 .
  • a drawback of such a spring bar is that it does not allow a user to be able to easily retract the two pivots in a single movement, and without tools.
  • the use of such a bar is therefore restrictive for a user, and does not allow the latter to easily separate the bracelet and the watch.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a bar for fixing a bracelet to a watch, allowing a user to be able to easily retract the two pivots in a single movement, preferably with a single finger, and without tools. .
  • the invention relates to a bar for attaching a bracelet to a watch, which comprises the features mentioned in independent claim 1.
  • An advantage of the bar according to the invention lies in the fact that it comprises a hollow internal tube arranged in the hollow body and configured to cooperate with the first pivot and the second pivot.
