Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bracelet clasp. More specifically, the present invention relates to a clasp for a watch strap comprising means which allow fine adjustment of the length of the strap.
  • Clasps comprising means for fine adjustment of the length of the strap of a watch are already known from the state of the art.
  • clasp for fine adjustment of the length of a bracelet we mean clasps which allow the length of a bracelet to be adjusted over a short distance in order to allow this length to be adapted as precisely as possible for optimal comfort when wearing the bracelet. show.
  • Such clasps usually include a connecting link through which one of the strands of the bracelet is connected to the cover of the clasp. This end link is able to slide in a longitudinal direction of the clasp between a first retracted position in which it is housed in the cover of the clasp and a second extended position in which it is disengaged from the clasp.
  • the length available for fine adjustment is determined by the travel of the end link between its first and second positions.
  • the terminal link cooperates via a toothed element with a groove.
  • the rack can be integral with the cover of the clasp and the toothed element can be carried by the terminal link.
  • the permutation of the groove and the toothed element is also possible. We know, for example, from the patent EP 2 765 883 a clasp of this type.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above as well as others still by providing a clasp for the fine adjustment of the length of a watch strap allowing on the one hand to maintain the adjustment of the length of the bracelet without the risk of losing it inadvertently, and on the other hand by providing particularly simple and rapid handling and adjustment.
  • the present invention relates to a clasp for a watch bracelet comprising a cover connected on a first side to a first bracelet strand and on a second side to a second bracelet strand, connecting means being interposed between the second bracelet strand and the cover of the clasp, these connecting means comprising a connecting link sliding along a longitudinal direction of the clasp between a first position in which the connecting link is engaged in the cover of the clasp, and a second position in which the link is at least partially disengaged from the lid of the clasp, the clasp comprising at least a first and a second bars mounted in the lid, characterized in that the connecting link comprises a lever provided with at least one hook arranged to pass through a first position in which the at least one hook is engaged with at least one first bar integral with the cover of the clasp, towards at least one second position in which the at least one hook is released from its engagement with said first bar and said link is free to slide so as to engage with at least one hook of said second bar.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch equipped with a clasp according to the invention.
  • the figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the clasp according to the invention while the figure 2 is a perspective view of this same clasp in the assembled state.
  • the clasp 1 according to the invention comprises a cover 2 connected on a first side to a first bracelet strand (not shown) with the interposition of a buckle closure system folding clasp 6 and locking means of the clasp whose structures are known and which will therefore not be described further here.
  • the folding clasp closure system 6 can be omitted and that the cover 2 can be connected to the first wristband strand directly.
  • Cover 2 is connected on a second side to a second strap strand (not shown) with a connecting link 10 to perform fine adjustment of the length of the watch strap.
  • the bracelet strands can be formed by a succession of links or by a strand of leather, textile or even elastomer material.
  • the cover 2 has a generally U-shaped section and is provided with two wings 12 facing each other, these wings 12 each bearing on their inwardly facing face a groove 14. Furthermore, a cavity 16 is made in the bottom of cover 2 and defines two end stops 18 whose role will be described in detail later. Finally, the connecting link 10 comprises lateral guide rails 20 in order to be slidably guided in the lid 2 between the bottom of the lid 2 and the wings 12.
  • the connecting link 10 is able to slide along a longitudinal direction of the clasp 1 between a first position ( picture 3 ) in which the connecting link 10 is engaged in the cover 2 of the clasp 1, and a second position ( figure 4 ) in which the connecting link 10 is at least partially disengaged from the cover 2 of the clasp 1.
  • the length available for adjustment of the bracelet is determined by the travel of the connecting link 10 between its first and second positions.
  • the clasp 1 also comprises at least two strips 21, 22 spaced apart and mounted in the cover 2 in the direction of the width of the clasp, each end of the strips being arranged to rest in a blind hole 13 machined in the wings 12 of the cover. 2, the two strips defining the first and second positions of the link 10.
  • the strips 21, 22 are provided to be removable or fixed and are arranged to cooperate with at least one hook 32, 32' so as to lock the connecting link 10 in the first or the second position. If necessary, the person skilled in the art will have no particular difficulty in adding a third strip and a third hook, for example.
  • the connecting link 10 comprises two ends 15 spaced apart from each other, between which one end of a link or of a strand of the second bracelet strand is nested.
  • the assembly is ensured by a bar 16 freely crossing the ends 15 and the link/strand of the second bracelet strand, the bar being held by two end screws 17 being housed in whole or in part in the connecting link 10.
  • the connecting link 10 also comprises a lever 3 having a first portion 30 provided with at least two hooks 32, 32' each hook 32,32' being formed in the first portion of the lever 3 by machining in the direction of the width of the clasp 1, each hook having dimensions close to, but slightly greater than, those of the strips 21, 22.
  • a single hook is also possible, the length of the latter then corresponding to the distance between the first and the last strip, the disadvantage being that the positioning of the hook on the chosen bar is less precise.
  • the width of the first potion of the lever is provided slightly less than the width of the cover 2.
  • the lever 3 also has a second portion 31, narrower than the first portion 30, acting as a pusher and at the base of which is provided a through hole 33 of circular section defining an axis of rotation to be able to pivot the lever 3 with respect to the connecting link 10.
  • the assembly of the lever 3 to the link link 10 is ensured by a pin 19 crossing the connecting link 10 and the through hole 33.
  • the second portion 31 of the lever 3 is oriented slightly upwards relative to the link so as to form a positive slope and increase the leverage when the holder press in a direction perpendicular to the clasp on this second portion forming the pusher 30.
  • Lever 3 is arranged to pass from a first position in which at least one hook 32, 32' engages with at least one first bar 21, 22 integral with cover 2, to at least a second position in which the hook is released from his engagement with the barrettes.
  • the connecting link 10 comprises a blind housing 11 of substantially parallelepipedal shape, in which is arranged a torsion spring 4, this spring 4 being capped by the end of the second portion 31 of the lever 3.
  • a torsion spring 4 which is mounted compressed forces the lever in the direction of the strips 21, 22, so that the hooks 32,32' are engaged with the strips.
  • the end of the second portion 31 forming the pusher along the arrow A is pressed against the elastic return force of the spring 4
  • the hook(s) 32, 32' are released from their engagement with or the strips of the cover 2 and the link 10 is then free to slide relative to the cover.
  • the torsion spring 4 may be replaced by a leaf spring, this leaf spring having a V-shaped profile. It is fixed at its center by means of a screw in the bottom of the link of link 10 and the lever 3 is resiliently supported on the leaf spring. The degree of deflection of the leaf spring determines the stroke of the lever and therefore of the hooks 32. As a result, the hooks 32 are perfectly notched on the bars 21, 22 so that it is impossible to accidentally lose the setting of the connecting link 10.
  • the user first unfolds the clasp 1 to be able to access the lever. Then, the user presses the portion of the lever forming the pusher so as to disengage the hook(s) 32, 32' from the bar(s) 21, 22, thus the connecting link 10 is free to slide and the wearer can push the latter or pull on it to choose the appropriate strap length. Finally, once the length has been chosen, the wearer releases the pusher which returns to its rest position under the effect of the spring 4, and at least one of the hooks 32, 32' engages at least one bar to lock the position. The wearer only has to close the clasp 1 to wear the watch.
  • the clasp according to the invention can also be used for a clothing belt.
  • a first end of the belt is connected directly to the cover 2 of the clasp, while the second end of the belt is connected to the cover 2 of the clasp with the interposition of the connecting means according to the invention which comprise the connecting link 10.
