Domaine de l'invention Field of the invention
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de l'horlogerie ou de la bijouterie. Elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet à un objet, notamment une boîte de montre. 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.
Arrière-plan de l'invention Background of the invention
Généralement, les bracelets, en cuir ou en métal, sont fixés aux cornes d'une boîte de montre, par l'intermédiaire d'une barrette formée d'un tube, dans lequel sont montés deux pistons mobiles en translation, et un organe élastique disposé entre lesdits pistons et tendant à les chasser vers l'extérieur du tube. Ladite barrette est montée dans un logement prévu à cet effet à une extrémité du bracelet, et les pistons sont engagés dans des alésages borgnes réalisés en vis-à-vis dans les cornes de la boîte. La mise en place et l'enlèvement d'un bracelet à l'aide de ce mode de fixation nécessite l'utilisation d'outils pour faire rentrer et maintenir le piston. Une telle opération demande une certaine habileté. En outre, lorsque l'on est arrivé à introduire la barrette entre les cornes, il faut trouver le trou ménagé dans les cornes pour permettre au ressort d'y introduire cette cheville. De tels modes de fixation ne permettent pas une bonne intégration du bracelet à la carrure, des jours ou des défauts pouvant être visibles au niveau de la jonction. Generally, 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. The installation and removal of a bracelet using this method of attachment requires the use of tools to enter and hold the piston. Such an operation requires some skill. In addition, when we arrived to introduce the bar between the horns, we must find the hole in the horns to allow the spring to introduce the ankle. Such attachment methods do not allow a good integration of the bracelet to the middle part, days or defects that can be seen at the junction.
De plus, ces modes de fixation offrent une trop grande liberté de mouvement au bracelet une fois celui-ci attaché à la montre, ce qui peut nuire au bon maintien de la montre sur le poignet du porteur en fonction e sa morphologie. Résumé de l'invention In addition, these modes of attachment provide too much freedom of movement to the bracelet once it attached to the watch, which can affect the good maintenance of the watch on the wrist of the wearer based on its morphology. Summary of the invention
La présente invention permet de pallier ces inconvénients, en proposant un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet à une boîte de montre, le dispositif comprenant d'une part au moins une corne, et d'autre part un brin de bracelet, la corne et le bracelet étant maintenus assemblés au moyen une barrette. 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 at least one horn, and on the other hand a bracelet strand, the horn and the bracelet being held together by means of a bar.

Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférés Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
La figure 1 illustre une boîte de montre 1 , à laquelle au moins une extrémité d'un brin de bracelet 2 est destinée à être reliée de manière amovible. Figure 1 illustrates a watch case 1, to which at least one end of a bracelet strand 2 is intended to be removably connected.
Le dispositif de liaison objet de l'invention est visible aux figures 1 b, 2a et 2b. le dispositif comprend d'une part au moins une corne 10, et d'autre part un brin de bracelet 2, la corne 10 et le bracelet 2 étant maintenus assemblés au moyen une barrette 3. La corne 10 comprend une lame rigide 1 1 agencée pour coopérer par emboîtement avec au moins un logement 20 réalisé dans le brin de bracelet, le logement 20 présentant une ouverture pour recevoir la lame lors de la mise en place du brin de bracelet de manière à former une liaison rigide une fois la barrette 3 mise en place. Pour limiter la course de la lame 1 1 , la corne 10 comporte une surface plane 12 faisant office de butée, le brin de bracelet venant appuyer contre cette surface lorsque la lame 1 1 est insérée dans le bracelet 2, la surface plane 12 définissant ainsi la position d'accrochage du brin de bracelet à la boîte de montre. The link device object of the invention is visible in Figures 1b, 2a and 2b. the device comprises on the one hand at least one horn 10, and secondly a bracelet strand 2, the horn 10 and the bracelet 2 being held together by means of a bar 3. The horn 10 comprises a rigid blade 1 1 arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing 20 made in the bracelet strand, the housing 20 having an opening for receiving the blade during the establishment of the bracelet strand so as to form a rigid connection once the bar 3 put into place in place. To limit the stroke of the blade 1 1, the horn 10 has a flat surface 12 acting as a stop, the bracelet strand pressing against this surface when the blade 1 1 is inserted into the bracelet 2, the surface plane 12 thus defining the hooking position of the bracelet strand to the watch case.
La corne 10 comprend également des portées latérales 14, adjacentes à la corne, et destinées à venir recouvrir partiellement les bords du brin de bracelet, ainsi aucun jour n'est visible au niveau de la liaison avec la barrette 3. The horn 10 also includes lateral surfaces 14, adjacent to the horn, and intended to partially cover the edges of the wristband, so no day is visible at the connection with the bar 3.
Comme on peut l'observer à la figure 1 , la corne médiane comprend un passage 13 dont le diamètre correspond au diamètre de l'axe de la barrette 3 de manière que celle-ci puisse tourner librement dans le passage. La barrette 3 est formée par une tige cylindrique 30 présentant une collerette 31 à chacune des extrémités de la barrette, la barrette 3 et les collerettes 31 formant alors un élément unique une fois ceux-ci assemblés. Il peut être envisagé d'assembler la collerette 31 à l'extrémité de la barrette 4 par l'intermédiaire d'une pointe d'insertion montée dans une partie creuse de la barrette 3. Un renflement interne est alors aménagé à l'extrémité de la barrette 3 pour coopérer avec la pointe d'insertion, afin de clipper la collerette dans la barrette. D'autres modes de fixation des collerettes 31 peuvent être envisagés, comme par exemple par collage, soudage, ou encore par chassage. Ces dernières font office d'éléments de retenue axiaux pour le bracelet. As can be seen in Figure 1, the middle horn comprises a passage 13 whose diameter corresponds to the diameter of the axis of the bar 3 so that it can rotate freely in the passage. The bar 3 is formed by a cylindrical rod 30 having a flange 31 at each end of the bar, the bar 3 and the flanges 31 then forming a single element once they are assembled. It may be envisaged to assemble the flange 31 at the end of the bar 4 by means of an insertion tip mounted in a hollow part of the bar 3. An internal bulge is then arranged at the end of the bar the bar 3 to cooperate with the insertion tip, in order to clip the collar in the bar. Other methods of fixing the flanges 31 may be envisaged, for example by gluing, welding, or by driving. The latter act as axial retention elements for the bracelet.
Avantageusement, les collerettes 31 de la barrette 3 viennent se loger au niveau des portées latérales de manière que les collerettes ne soient pas saillantes une fois la barrette 3 montée. Advantageously, the flanges 31 of the bar 3 are housed at the lateral surfaces so that the flanges are not protruding once the bar 3 mounted.
Selon l'invention, le brin de bracelet 2 comprend un insert rigide 21 , l'insert comprenant le logement 20 pour recevoir la lame 1 1 de la corne 10, les deux éléments formant une liaison rigide une fois le brin de bracelet assemblé à la montre. According to the invention, the bracelet strand 2 comprises a rigid insert 21, the insert comprising the housing 20 for receiving the blade 1 1 of the horn 10, the two elements forming a rigid connection once the bracelet strand assembled to the shows.
Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2a et 2b, la lame 1 1 est inclinée vers le bas selon un angle compris entre 20 °et 45 ° par rapport au plan médian M de la boite de montre, une telle inclinaison est nécessaire pour que le brin soit correctement positionné une fois la montre au poignet. As can be seen in Figures 2a and 2b, the blade 1 1 is inclined downwards at an angle of between 20 ° and 45 ° relative to the median plane M of the watch case, such inclination is necessary so that the strand is properly positioned once the watch on the wrist.
La largeur de la lame est prévue inférieure ou égale à la largeur de la corne médiane, et comprend une longueur sensiblement identique à la profondeur du logement 20 de l'insert 21 pour éviter tout jeu après assemblage. The width of the blade is provided less than or equal to the width of the central horn, and comprises a length substantially identical to the depth of the housing 20 of the insert 21 to prevent play after assembly.
Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré à la figure 1 , l'insert 21 et la lame 1 1 sont réalisés en un matériau dur choisi parmi les matériaux métalliques ou les alliages métalliques, les céramiques, ou les matériaux composites. Le bracelet peut être bracelet est réalisé dans une matière plastique souple, ou en un matériau dur cité précédemment. L'homme du métier n'aura pas de difficultés particulières à usiner un logement 20 dans un maillon métallique par exemple. According to the preferred embodiment illustrated in Figure 1, the insert 21 and the blade 1 1 are made of a hard material selected from metal materials or metal alloys, ceramics, or composite materials. The bracelet can be bracelet is made of a flexible plastic material, or a hard material mentioned above. Those skilled in the art will have no particular difficulties in machining a housing 20 in a metal link, for example.
Pour fixer le bracelet 2 au boîtier 1 comme illustré à la figure 2b, on introduit l'extrémité d'un brin, au niveau de la corne 10 en présentant l'ouverture du logement 20 face à la lame 1 1 afin de loger la lame 4 dans l'insert 21 du brin de bracelet. To fix the bracelet 2 to the casing 1 as illustrated in FIG. 2b, the end of a strand is introduced at the level of the horn 10 by presenting the opening of the housing 20 facing the blade 1 1 in order to house the blade 4 in the insert 21 of the bracelet strand.
Une fois la lame 1 1 positionnée partiellement dans l'insert 21 , l'utilisateur pousse le brin 2 jusqu'à ce que ce dernier vienne en butée contre la surface plane 12 de la corne 10. Once the blade 1 1 partially positioned in the insert 21, the user pushes the strand 2 until the latter comes into abutment against the flat surface 12 of the horn 10.
L'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à mettre en place la barrette 3 en la faisant passer successivement au travers du brin 2 et de la corne 10, jusqu'à ce que les collerettes 31 soient positionnées en butée contre les bords du brin 2 et sous les portées 14 adjacentes à la corne 10. De cette manière, le porteur dispose d'un bracelet sans aucun jeu lors une fois assemblé et ayant une bonne tenu lorsque la montre est portée. The user only has to set up the bar 3 by passing successively through the strand 2 and the horn 10, until the flanges 31 are positioned in abutment against the edges of the strand 2 and under the bearing surfaces 14 adjacent to the horn 10. In this manner, the wearer has a bracelet without any play when once assembled and having a good hold when the watch is worn.
Dans le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, l'insert est disposé sur un bracelet constitué en cuir, en tissu synthétique, en plastique, en métal, en céramique ou encore en composite. De même la barrette 4 est de préférence en métal mais pourrait également être en plastique, céramique ou encore composite. In the embodiment described above, the insert is disposed on a bracelet made of leather, synthetic fabric, plastic, metal, ceramic or composite. Similarly, the bar 4 is metal preference but could also be plastic, ceramic or composite.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la lame rigide 1 1 et le logement 20 sont intervertis. Le brin de bracelet 2 comprend une lame rigide 1 1 agencée pour coopérer par emboîtement avec au moins un logement 20 réalisé dans la corne 10, ledit au moins un logement 20 présentant une ouverture pour recevoir ladite lame 1 1 lors de la mise en place du brin de bracelet de manière à former une liaison rigide une fois les moyens de fixation mis en place. Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple illustré et est susceptible de diverses variantes et modifications qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art. According to another embodiment, the rigid blade 1 1 and the housing 20 are interchanged. The bracelet strand 2 comprises a rigid blade 1 1 arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing 20 made in the horn 10, said at least one housing 20 having an opening for receiving said blade 1 1 during the introduction of the strap strand so as to form a rigid connection once the fastening means set up. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example and is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
