Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for fixing bracelet strands to a watch case making it possible to mount and disassemble said bracelet strands on the box without tools.
  • the document US2850783 describes a watch bracelet comprising extensible metal strands which are each provided, at one of their ends, with a system comprising a housing extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet strand and provided with a transverse opening.
  • the housing is intended to receive a bracelet fixing bar extending between the interior faces of the lugs of a watch case.
  • the housing is equipped with a flap that can be moved between a locked position in which it closes the transverse opening of the housing and thus ensures that the bar is maintained in the housing and thereby secures the bracelet strand to the box and a position unlocked in which the flap is released from the transverse opening and which allows the wearer of the watch to release the bar from the housing and thus separate the bracelet strand from the case.
  • the shutter is locked using tabs folded at 90° coming from the material with the shutter and which ensure locking by friction on a rigid edge of the housing.
  • the friction forces involved are relatively weak given their small width and the small thickness of the edge against which they bear.
  • these tabs are likely to deform plastically and therefore no longer provide reliable locking or even in the most unfavorable case are likely to break and possibly lead to a fall or loss of the watch.
  • this system comprises three folded sheet metal parts which are quite complex, which makes the system difficult and expensive to produce.
  • the document CH707056 describes an insert for a strand of a watch strap according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for fixing bracelet strands on a watch case making it possible to mount and disassemble said bracelet strands on the box without tools.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a bracelet watch in which the bracelet strands are provided with a device allowing the manual locking and unlocking of the connection between the bars of the watch case and the strands of the watch bracelet , said system being simple and easy to produce, while guaranteeing secure locking.
  • the present invention also aims to provide an insert that can be integrated into a bracelet strand, said insert making it possible to mount and disassemble the bracelet strand on a bar of a watch case without tools.
  • the invention relates to an insert for a strand of a watch strap, the insert being intended to be fixed to the end of the strand.
  • the insert comprises a rigid body provided with a flat portion and a curved portion defining a housing for a bar of the watch case.
  • the housing extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet strand and is provided with a transverse opening.
  • the curved portion is extended by a flat portion.
  • the insert further comprises a lock, preferably made of plastic, which is articulated relative to two arms secured to the flat portion of the rigid element to pivot around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet strand.
  • the lock comprises a closing wall of which at least one portion is formed by the wall of at least one elastic tongue.
  • the lock can pivot between two positions, a first so-called locking position in which the closing wall closes the housing, the edge of the hook-shaped portion penetrating a notch provided in the wall of the tongue. In a second so-called unlocking position, the edge of the hook-shaped portion is released from the notch provided in the wall of the tongue and the lock is free to pivot around its axis and thereby release the transverse opening housing.
  • the insert according to the invention comprises two main components, in particular the rigid element and the lock, the first of which is essentially a rigid plate extended by a curved portion and comprising two arms standing on the flat portion of the plate. Manufacturing this part in metal or other rigid material is simple and inexpensive.
  • the other component (the lock) is easily made from plastic material, also at a limited cost.
  • the locking by interlocking elements ensures that the connection between the watch case and the bracelet made by an insert according to the invention is ensured in all circumstances.
  • the insert shown in figures 1 and 2 firstly comprises a body 2 of rigid material which comprises a flat portion 3 extended by a hook-shaped end portion 4 which defines a housing 5 intended to receive a bar of a watch case (not shown).
  • the housing 5 extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet strand and is provided with a transverse opening 5a.
  • the body 2 is preferably a plate, one end of which is curved so as to form the housing.
  • the plate is made of metal.
  • the flat portion 3 includes notches 6 and an opening 7 which allow the insert 1 to be attached to one of the strands of a watch strap.
  • the notches 6 and the opening 7 are only examples of means for attaching the insert.
  • the precise shape of said means may depend on the shape and material of the strands.
  • the insert can be overmolded with a synthetic material from which the bracelet strand is formed.
  • the insert can be inserted and glued between two layers of material from which the strand is formed.
  • insert 1 of the figure 1 is suitable for being inserted into a leather strand 10.
  • the insert attachment means can nevertheless easily be adapted to other types and materials (ceramic, rubber, metal, etc.) of strands.
  • the lock 12 is a part made, preferably, of injected plastic and, for example, of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). It is mounted pivoting around an axis 13 provided with two pins 14 inserted in the eyelets of the arms 11 defining a yoke.
  • at least one of the pins 14 is biased towards the outside by a spring arranged inside the axis 13 in the manner of a conventional spring bar, so as to be able to easily assemble and disassemble the axis between arms 11.
  • the lock 12 comprises a rear part 18 pierced with a longitudinal hole 19 to receive the axis 13 and whose length corresponds to the space between the arms 11.
  • the lock does not include a hole to receive an axis 13, but this lock is itself provided with pins or equivalents which allow the rotary mounting of the lock between the arms 11.
  • pins 14 inserted in eyelets other known pivot mechanisms can be used to achieve the articulation of the lock relative to the arms 11.
  • the lock 12 further comprises a closing wall 15 having a curved face and extending along the longitudinal direction of the housing 5, so as to produce a closed housing of substantially circular section when the lock 12 is closed.
  • the lock comprises a locking tab 16 able to deform elastically.
  • the tongue is formed in the middle part of the shutter wall 15 and on a portion thereof.
  • the front wall 21 of the tongue 16 therefore forms in this example a part of said shutter wall 15.
  • the tongue can extend over the entire length of the shutter wall.
  • the tongue 16 is intended to cooperate with the edge 17 of a corresponding central section of the hook-shaped portion 4 of the rigid body 2 via a longitudinal notch 22 provided in the upper part of the tongue.
  • the operation of the lock 12 is illustrated.
  • the bar 20 of a watch case is inserted into the housing formed by the hook-shaped end 4 of the rigid body 2.
  • the lock 12 is tilted towards its closed or locking position ( fig. 4b ).
  • the front wall 21 of the tongue 16 is curved so as to form a circular section housing for the bar 20 when the tongue is closed.
  • a longitudinal notch 22 is provided in the upper part of said wall 21, a longitudinal notch 22 is provided.
  • the dimensions of the lock 12 are such that by tilting the lock, the front wall 21 comes into contact with the edge 17.
  • the tongue 16 Due to the curved shape of the wall 21, the tongue 16 is held towards the rear by the edge 17 Then, when the user pushes the lock 12 towards its locking position, the elasticity of the tongue 16 allows the wall 21 to flex backwards then to return elastically towards the edge 17 so that the latter enters notch 22 ( fig. 4c ) and locks the lock in the locked position.
  • the user will push the tab 16 backwards until the edge 17 is released from the notch 22, and then tilt the lock 12 towards its open position.
  • the upper surface of the tab 16 is textured, for example with grooves 23, to increase friction with the user's finger.
  • the part of the edge 17 of the hook-shaped portion 4 which fits into the notch 22 is preferably pointed, in this way having a shape which corresponds to the internal shape of the notch 22. Other shapes corresponding notches and edges can nevertheless be considered.
  • the insert 1 is integrated into a leather strand 10.
  • the end of the strand 10 is folded around the exterior face of the hook-shaped part 4, and housed against a pair of rails 24 mounted on the parts of the edge which are on either side of the tongue 16 ( fig.2 ).
  • This structure is not limiting and the way in which the strand is attached to the insert can vary depending on the material of the strand for example.
  • the tongue 16 can vary in its longitudinal dimensions (in the longitudinal direction of the housing 5). According to one embodiment, the tongue extends over the complete length of the housing 5. According to another form, several tongues are provided over this length, for example two tongues located on either side of the central vertical plane of the housing 5. 'insert.
  • the clevis arms 11 can be made differently compared to the embodiment shown in the figures. Instead of cutting and folding parts of the flat portion 3, the arms 11 can be parts which are attached, for example welded to the flat portion 3.
  • the body of rigid material 2 is preferably a uniform piece formed of a single material. It is nevertheless also possible to manufacture the body 2 by assembling a flat portion 3 to a curved portion 4, said portions being made of the same material or of different materials.
