Description

D ISPOSITI F DE FIXATION D’U N BRACELET  OF ISPOSITI F FOR FIXING A N STRAP
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 jewelry. It relates more precisely 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.  Generally, the straps, in leather or metal, are fixed to the horns of a watch case, by means of 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 them out 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 opposite in the horns of the box.
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.  The installation and removal of a bracelet using this method of attachment requires the use of tools to fit and maintain the piston. Such an operation requires a certain skill. In addition, when we have arrived to introduce the bar between the horns, we must find the hole in the horns to allow the spring to introduce this pin.
On connaît par exemple du document WO2016148800 un bracelet de montre comprenant un brin et un mécanisme de fixation intégré à une extrémité du brin. Le mécanisme de fermoir comprend un élément concave définissant un canal à l'extrémité du brin, et une plaque de fermeture configurée pour se déplacer entre une première position dans laquelle la plaque couvre le canal, et une seconde position dans laquelle la plaque est rétractée pour laisser au moins une partie du canal découverte par la plaque. Un tel dispositif de fixation comprend un trop grand nombre de pièces, ce qui peut nuire au bon fonctionnement du dispositif et implique un remplacement du bracelet lorsqu’une pièce vient à se casser. For example, document WO2016148800 discloses a watch strap comprising a strand and a fixing mechanism integrated at one end of the strand. The clasp mechanism includes a concave member defining a channel at the end of the strand, and a closure plate configured to move between a first position in which the plate covers the channel, and a second position in which the plate is retracted for leave at least part of the channel uncovered by the plate. Such a fixing device includes too many parts, which can affect the proper functioning of the device and involves replacing the bracelet when a part breaks.
De plus, un tel mode de fixation ne permet pas une bonne intégration du bracelet à la carrure, des jours ou des défauts pouvant être visibles au niveau de la jonction boîtier/bracelet.  In addition, such a method of attachment does not allow good integration of the bracelet in the middle, days or defects which may be visible at the junction case / bracelet.
Résumé de l’invention  Summary of the invention
La présente invention permet de pallier ces inconvénients, en proposant un dispositif de fixation d’un brin de bracelet à une boîte de montre, le dispositif étant agencé pour être fixé à une barrette, le brin de bracelet étant attaché sur la barrette par le biais de moyens de fixation.  The present invention overcomes these drawbacks, by proposing a device for fixing a strand of a bracelet to a watch case, the device being arranged to be fixed to a bar, the strand of bracelet being attached to the bar through fixing means.
Selon l’invention, les moyens de fixations sont formés par un support solidaire du brin de bracelet, une tirette agencée pour coopérer avec ledit support de manière à fermer le support, le support comprenant un canal apte à recevoir la barrette, et en ce qu’ils comprennent une paire d’aimants disposée sur le support et la tirette de manière à maintenir la tirette contre le support et permettre à la tirette de passer d’une position fermée dans laquelle la barrette est maintenue dans le canal vers une position ouverte dans laquelle la barrette est libre.  According to the invention, the fixing means are formed by a support integral with the bracelet strand, a pull rod arranged to cooperate with said support so as to close the support, the support comprising a channel capable of receiving the bar, and in that '' they include a pair of magnets arranged on the support and the pull tab so as to hold the pull tab against the support and allow the pull tab to pass from a closed position in which the bar is held in the channel towards an open position in which the bar is free.

Description détaillée des modes de réalisation préférés Detailed description of preferred embodiments
Les figures 1 à 3 illustrent une montre bracelet ainsi que des vues détaillée du dispositif d’attache du bracelet à la boîte de montre 1 selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l’invention. Le dispositif de fixation du bracelet à la boîte de montre 1 comprend le brin de bracelet 2 et des moyens de fixation 3. Le brin de bracelet 2 peut être fabriqué en matière textile, en caoutchouc, en cuir, ou encore en matière plastique.  Figures 1 to 3 illustrate a wristwatch as well as detailed views of the device for attaching the bracelet to the watch case 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The device for fixing the bracelet to the watch case 1 comprises the bracelet strand 2 and fixing means 3. The bracelet strand 2 can be made of textile material, rubber, leather, or even plastic.
Selon l’invention, les moyens de fixations sont formés par un support 30 solidaire du brin de bracelet 2, une tirette 31 agencée pour coopérer avec le support 30 de manière à fermer le support 30, le support 30 comprenant un canal 32 apte à recevoir la barrette 4, et en ce qu’ils comprennent une paire d’aimants 300,310 disposés sur le support 30 et la tirette 31 de manière à maintenir la tirette 31 contre le support 30 et permettre à la tirette 31 de passer d’une position fermée dans laquelle la barrette 4 est maintenue dans le canal 32 vers une position ouverte dans laquelle la barrette 4 est libre. According to the invention, the fixing means are formed by a support 30 integral with the bracelet strand 2, a pull tab 31 arranged to cooperate with the support 30 so as to close the support 30, the support 30 comprising a channel 32 adapted to receive the bar 4, and in that they comprise a pair of magnets 300, 310 arranged on the support 30 and the pull tab 31 so as to hold the pull tab 31 against the support 30 and allow the pull tab 31 to pass from a closed position in which the bar 4 is held in the channel 32 to an open position in which the bar 4 is free.
L’extrémité du brin de bracelet 2 recouvre les moyens de fixation 3 de manière que ces derniers ne soient visibles que par le dessous et soient donc invisibles lorsque la montre est portée. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le brin de bracelet 2 est surmoulé sur les moyens de fixation 3. Bien évidemment, l’homme du métier peut aussi envisager de coller le brin sur les moyens de fixation.  The end of the bracelet strand 2 covers the fastening means 3 so that the latter are visible only from below and are therefore invisible when the watch is worn. In a particular embodiment, the bracelet strand 2 is molded onto the fixing means 3. Obviously, a person skilled in the art can also consider sticking the strand to the fixing means.
De même, le bracelet présente à son extrémité une portion 20 de forme complémentaire à la forme du canal 32 pour cacher ce dernier. L’homme du métier pourrait également envisager de laisser le canal 32 visible.  Similarly, the bracelet has at its end a portion 20 of shape complementary to the shape of the channel 32 to hide the latter. Those skilled in the art could also consider leaving channel 32 visible.
Les moyens de fixation 3 comprennent un support 30, qui est de préférence réalisé en acier inoxydable, le support 30 comportant un canal 32 agencé pour recevoir la barrette 4, et maintenir le brin de bracelet sur cette dernière.  The fixing means 3 comprise a support 30, which is preferably made of stainless steel, the support 30 comprising a channel 32 arranged to receive the bar 4, and maintain the bracelet strand on the latter.
Avantageusement, la largeur du support 30 est légèrement inférieure à la largeur du brin de bracelet 2, le support 30 étant de ce fait invisible lorsque la montre est portée.  Advantageously, the width of the support 30 is slightly less than the width of the bracelet strand 2, the support 30 being therefore invisible when the watch is worn.
Une tirette 31 est prévue pour fermer le support 30, cette tirette de fermeture est également réalisée en acier inoxydable.  A pull tab 31 is provided to close the support 30, this closing pull tab is also made of stainless steel.
La tirette 31 est montée contre le support 30 au moyen de rails de guidage 33 disposés sur chaque bord latéral du support 30, de telle manière que la tirette 31 soit affleurante avec le support 30 et qu’elle puisse se déplacer sur ce dernier, les rails de guidage 33 débutant à l’extrémité recouverte par le brin de bracelet 2 et s’arrêtant à la rainure formée par le canal 32. The pull tab 31 is mounted against the support 30 by means of guide rails 33 arranged on each lateral edge of the support 30, in such a way that the pull tab 31 is flush with the support 30 and that it can move on the latter, the guide rails 33 starting at the end covered by the bracelet strand 2 and stopping at the groove formed by the channel 32.
Avantageusement, le support 30 et la tirette 31 comprennent chacun une paire d’aimants 300,310 pour définir une position fermée lorsque la tirette recouvre le canal 32 et une position ouverte lorsque la tirette 31 est rétractée et libère le canal 32.  Advantageously, the support 30 and the pull tab 31 each comprise a pair of magnets 300, 310 to define a closed position when the pull tab covers the channel 32 and an open position when the pull tab 31 is retracted and releases the channel 32.
Des évidements sont respectivement formés dans la tirette 31 et dans le support 30 de manière à recevoir les aimants. Les aimants 310 de la tirette 31 et les aimants 300 du support 30 sont respectivement de pôles opposés et sont positionnés face à face lorsque la tirette 31 est en position fermée. Les aimants 300,310 forment ainsi un verrou et permettent également à la tirette 31 de coulisser de la position fermée vers la position ouverte lorsque le porteur manipule la tirette 31 , puis de revenir en position fermée lorsque le porteur relâche la tirette.  Recesses are respectively formed in the pull tab 31 and in the support 30 so as to receive the magnets. The magnets 310 of the pull tab 31 and the magnets 300 of the support 30 are respectively of opposite poles and are positioned face to face when the pull tab 31 is in the closed position. The magnets 300,310 thus form a lock and also allow the pull tab 31 to slide from the closed position to the open position when the wearer manipulates the pull pull 31, then to return to the closed position when the wearer releases the pull pull.
De manière à avoir un fonctionnement normal du dispositif, la tirette In order to have normal operation of the device, the zipper
31 et le support 30 sont réalisés en un matériau insensible au magnétisme pour éviter toutes interactions avec les aimants. 31 and the support 30 are made of a material insensitive to magnetism to avoid any interactions with the magnets.
Afin de dégager le brin de bracelet 2 de la barrette 4, l’utilisateur manipule la tirette 31 au moyen d’un bouton de manipulation 34 et déplacer la tirette 31 en position ouverte.  In order to release the bracelet strand 2 from the bar 4, the user manipulates the zipper 31 by means of a manipulation button 34 and moves the zipper 31 to the open position.
Les aimants remplacent ainsi avantageusement les ressorts classiquement utilisés dans les dispositifs de l’art antérieur, ce qui permet de réduire le nombre de composants utilisés et d’éliminer le risque de casse d’un composant.  The magnets thus advantageously replace the springs conventionally used in devices of the prior art, which makes it possible to reduce the number of components used and to eliminate the risk of breakage of a component.
Le bouton de manipulation 34 est agencé pour être actionné par le porteur et ouvrir le dispositif. Le bouton de manipulation 34 est en contact avec la peau du porteur lorsque la montre est portée. Avantageusement, le bouton 34 est réalisé dans un matériau identique à celui de la tirette 31 , tel que de l’acier inoxydable par exemple, et forme un élément d’un seul tenant avec cette dernière. Le bouton de manipulation 34 présente des arrêtes polies pour améliorer le confort lorsque la montre est portée. The manipulation button 34 is arranged to be actuated by the wearer and to open the device. The manipulation button 34 is in contact with the wearer's skin when the watch is worn. Advantageously, the button 34 is made of a material identical to that of the pull tab 31, such as stainless steel for example, and forms an element in one piece. with the latter. The manipulation button 34 has polished edges to improve comfort when the watch is worn.
Le brin comprend 2, sur sa face en contact avec le porteur, un évidement 21 de forme complémentaire à celle du bouton et qui est agencé pour recevoir le bouton de manipulation lorsque la tirette est en position ouverte, ledit évidement faisant office de butée lorsque la tirette est en position ouverte et définissant ainsi la course possible de la tirette pour le passage en position ouverte.  The strand comprises 2, on its face in contact with the carrier, a recess 21 of shape complementary to that of the button and which is arranged to receive the manipulation button when the pull tab is in the open position, said recess acting as a stop when the zipper is in the open position and thus defining the possible stroke of the zipper for passage to the open position.
Pour monter le brin 2 sur la montre 1 , le porteur manipule la tirette 31 via le bouton 34 et tire ou pousse sur ce dernier pour faire coulisser la tirette 31 et rendre le canal 32 accessible. Le porteur positionne ensuite la barrette 4 dans le canal 32 et relâche le bouton 34 pour que la tirette 31 revienne dans sa position fermée grâce aux aimants 300,310.  To mount the strand 2 on the watch 1, the wearer manipulates the pull tab 31 via the button 34 and pulls or pushes on the latter to slide the pull tab 31 and make the channel 32 accessible. The wearer then positions the bar 4 in the channel 32 and releases the button 34 so that the zipper 31 returns to its closed position thanks to the magnets 300, 310.
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.  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example and is susceptible to various variants and modifications which will appear to those skilled in the art.
