Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bracelet clasp comprising at least one locking device. It also relates to a bracelet and a wristwatch as such comprising such a clasp.
  • the first solution is simple and consists in providing the ends of each strand with cooperation means, for example in the form of a simple loop and a barb on the one hand cooperating with holes on the other hand.
  • cooperation means for example in the form of a simple loop and a barb on the one hand cooperating with holes on the other hand.
  • Such a solution has the drawback that when the cooperation means are opened, the two strands of the bracelet are immediately separated and entail a risk of the wristwatch falling.
  • Another solution consists in providing an intermediate element of the clasp type, arranged between the two bracelet strands, which always remains integral with the ends of these two strands.
  • a clasp occupies two positions: a closed position, provided for wearing the watch, in which the bracelet and the clasp extend around the circumference of the wrist while presenting a total length allowing the wristwatch to be worn, and a open position which makes it possible to increase the length of the bracelet and of the clasp, by separating the two ends of the two strands of the bracelet, without detaching them from the clasp, to allow the passage of the hand and the removal of the watch.
  • this open configuration of the clasp the two strands of the bracelet are not separated, which minimizes the risk of the watch falling.
  • a clasp generally comprises two or three folding blades, which are at least partly folded back on themselves in the closed position and deployed in the open position of the clasp. Locking and unlocking mechanisms are used to ensure that the closed position is held stable.
  • the document EP1654950 A1 describes such a locking solution.
  • a first object of the invention consists in proposing a solution for locking a reliable and robust bracelet clasp.
  • a second object of the invention consists in proposing a solution for locking a bracelet clasp with minimal bulk.
  • a third object of the invention consists in proposing a solution for locking a bracelet clasp compatible with an aesthetic research of the appearance of the clasp.
  • the invention is based on a locking device for a bracelet clasp, which comprises an actuating lever intended for the actuation of the locking device by a user, a locking element capable of cooperating with a complementary attachment and in that it comprises an intermediate element connected on the one hand to the element locking by a first connecting device and connected on the other hand to the actuating lever by a second connecting device, at least one of these two connecting devices being provided with at least two degrees of freedom.
  • longitudinal direction for the direction along the length of a clasp or a bracelet strand
  • transverse direction for the perpendicular direction, in the plane of a clasp (more precisely the plane of a clasp blade or cover), particularly considering the closed configuration of the clasp.
  • the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the first two directions, oriented perpendicular to the plane of the clasp (more precisely of a blade or of a cover of the clasp).
  • the clasp according to the invention may comprise one or two substantially identical locking devices, arranged for example symmetrically on the clasp.
  • the same references to designate the components of the possible second locking device identical to the components of the first locking device, adding the sign "'" to differentiate these second references from the first.
  • the invention is based on a clasp provided with a locking mechanism using an actuating lever arranged directly in the cover of the clasp, or even on a blade of the clasp, presenting itself in particular as a mobile part of the cover of the clasp.
  • a part can for example take the form of a simple cover cap.
  • THE figures 1 and 2 show a clasp 100 for a bracelet according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • This clasp 100 comprises three blades, including two lateral blades 5, 5', called first blade 5 and third blade 5', arranged symmetrically at the two longitudinal ends of a second central blade 4, via blade axes respectively 51, 51' transverse.
  • Each lateral blade 5, 5' can occupy an open position, as represented by the figures 1 and 2 , and a closed position in which it is folded over the central blade 4 and locked by a locking device 10, 10' which will be described later, to reach a closed position of the clasp.
  • the two side blades 5, 5' are substantially identical and we will therefore describe in detail the characteristics of the first side blade 5 alone.
  • a cover 6 is fixed on this first side blade 5.
  • This cover 6 is pivotally mounted in rotation about a cover axis 61 arranged at one end of the first blade 5, opposite to its end linked to the second central blade 4.
  • the cover 6 has a cross-section in the shape of an inverted U, having an upper face visible to a user, and two side walls, substantially perpendicular to the upper face, intended to laterally cover the entire clasp and its mechanism, in particular the device lock, to conceal it, substantially hide it, and ensure the aesthetic appearance of the solution.
  • the cover 6 further comprises on its end opposite to the cover axis 61 a fixing device for a end of a bracelet strand.
  • this fixing device comprises openings 62 arranged in the side walls of the cover 6 in order to receive a strip for fixing a bracelet end link.
  • the cover 6 In the open position, the cover 6 is therefore capable of deploying relative to the blades 4, 5 of the clasp by rotation around the axis of the clasp 61 and participating in increasing the length of the clasp.
  • the two covers 6, 6' respectively of the two lateral blades 5, 5' are positioned one against the other in a continuous manner, thus forming the appearance of a single cover 60 of the clasp, as represented in picture 3 .
  • the locking device 10 of the first side blade 5 will now be described. It first comprises a locking element 1 mounted in rotation around a first axis 11.
  • This locking element 1 comprises a shape at a lower end designed to cooperate with a complementary attachment element 4a arranged at the level of the part center of the second central blade 4.
  • this shape is of the hook type.
  • any other shape allowing mechanical locking between the locking element 1 and a complementary attachment element 4a is possible.
  • one or more return springs 8a, 8b are provided to act on the locking element 1 to tend to position it in a position capable of coming into engagement with the attachment element 4a of the second blade 4 central, so as to lock the bracelet clasp.
  • two springs 8a, 8b are arranged around the first axis of rotation 11, symmetrically distributed around the longitudinal median plane II, as shown in the figure 5 And 6 , at the level of sections II-II and III-III respectively, according to the plans shown on the picture 3 .
  • the locking device 10 further comprises an actuating lever 2 arranged within the lid 6. More specifically, this actuating lever 2 is presented as a part of the upper surface of the lid 6. It extends over the entire length of the cover 6, and is articulated in rotation about a second transverse axis 21 at the level of the longitudinal end of the cover 6 intended to receive a bracelet end link, opposite to its end intended to be positioned in the center of the clasp in the closed position.
  • the locking device 10 comprises an intermediate element 3, connected on the one hand to the locking element 1 by a first connecting device and connected on the other hand to the actuating lever 2 by a second connecting device.
  • the locking element 1 and the intermediate element 3 of the locking device are connected in relative rotation around a first intermediate axis 31.
  • the first connecting device is therefore an axis of rotation.
  • the actuating lever 2 and the intermediate element 3 of the locking device are linked by a second connecting device comprising a groove 22, arranged on the actuating lever 2, within which moves a second intermediate axis 32 connecting the actuating lever 2 and the intermediate element 3 and around which the actuating lever 2 and the intermediate element 3 are able to pivot with respect to each other.
  • a second connecting device thus makes it possible to confer two degrees of freedom between the actuating lever 2 and the intermediate element 3.
  • first intermediate axis 31 and the second intermediate axis 32 are respectively arranged at the level of the two longitudinal ends of the intermediate element 3. They are also positioned on either side of the first axis 11, in the closed configuration of the clasp, as can be seen on the figures 4 and 5 .
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described. It can extend to any other solution in which at least one of said two connecting devices of the locking device is designed to confer two degrees of freedom on the two elements that it connects.
  • This connecting device can for example confer a first degree of freedom in rotation, and a second degree of freedom by displacement of the translation type guided within a groove.
  • This groove may extend in the longitudinal direction. Alternatively, it could also have an orientation in another direction, for example vertical.
  • the notion of “groove” is to be considered in the broad sense of the term, it is not necessarily straight, and its trajectory can of course be adapted to the kinematics of the various components of the locking device.
  • the other connecting device confers a single degree of freedom. As a variant, it could also confer at least two degrees of freedom, similarly to the at least one connecting device described above.
  • the first connecting device could therefore confer two degrees of freedom and the second connecting device a single degree of freedom.
  • these degrees of freedom could be based on movements other than the rotations and translations described.
  • first axis 11, the first intermediate axis 31, the second intermediate axis 32, and the second axis 21 are distinct and parallel. They all have a transverse orientation.
  • the clasp according to the embodiment further comprises an element 7, particularly represented on the figures 4 to 6 , integral with the lid 6, and fixed on the one hand to the axis of the lid 61 and to a parallel transverse axis 71 joining the two side walls of the lid.
  • the first axis 11 of rotation of the locking element 1 of the locking device 10 is rotatably mounted on this element 7 integral with the cover 6.
  • This element 7 also comprises shaped housings to receive the return springs 8a, 8b around the first axis 11, at the level of the vertical longitudinal planes II-II and III-III of the figure 5 And 6 which are particularly visible on the picture 3 .
  • the embodiment relies on arranging or bonding the locking device in part to a clasp cover.
  • the invention can still be implemented on a clasp without a cover, or in which the cover and the blade are merged into one and the same element.
  • the actuating lever 2 would be directly mounted on a movable blade replacing a cover, for example as a movable part of said movable blade.
  • the actuating lever 2 can have any other shape, any other part of a clasp cover.
  • in the closed position it forms a substantially continuous surface with the rest of the clasp cover.
  • a gripping element 2a is arranged on the actuating lever 2, to facilitate its actuation by a user. It is more precisely arranged at the level of the central end of the actuating lever, opposite the second axis 21.
  • each side slat 5, 5' can be locked and unlocked from the central slat 4 by a respective locking device 10, 10'.
  • These two locking devices 10, 10' are substantially identical, symmetrically distributed relative to a vertical transverse median plane P of the clasp, represented on the figures 3 and 4 .
  • they differ in their gripping elements 2a, 2a' which have complementary shapes to interlock in the closed position of the clasp, these shapes thus being chosen for both aesthetic and ergonomic reasons.
  • the gripping elements 2a, 2a' are shaped so that there is no imposed order in the opening and closing sequencing of each side blade 5, 5' of the clasp 100, in particular in the actuation sequences of their two respective locking devices 10, 10'. It would of course be possible to conform the gripping elements 2a, 2a' so that they are identical.
  • the various axes 11, 11', 21, 21', 31, 31', 32, 32', 51, 51', 61, 61', 71, 71' mentioned above of the clasp are all parallel, oriented transversely.
  • the notion of “axis” relates both to the notion of geometric axis and to the notion of physical axis.
  • the first axis 11 is an axis of rotation of the locking element 1, which may or may not be secured to the locking element 1.
  • the other axes of the embodiment in particular the second axis 21 and the two intermediate axes 31, 32.
  • first axis 11 and the two intermediate axes 31, 32 could be perpendicular to the second axis 21.
  • all these axes could remain parallel, but arranged differently.
  • the axes of the locking device are pivot axes.
  • at least one of these axes could be an axis defining a translation trajectory.
  • the actuating lever 2 could in particular take the form of a component that can move in translation relative to the cover 6, in a direction corresponding substantially to the longitudinal direction of the cover 6.
  • the clasp could as a variant be a clasp with only two unfolding blades, and comprising a locking device between the two blades, as described above.
  • the aforementioned cover 6 can then correspond to the entire cover 60 of the clasp.
  • the invention also relates to a bracelet, characterized in that it comprises a locking device as described above or a clasp as described above.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising such a bracelet.
  • FIG 7 illustrates a sectional view of the clasp along a plane II while the locking device 10 is actuated so as to open the clasp 100, more specifically to open the first blade 5 relative to the second central blade 4.
  • a user actuates the gripping element 2a to initiate a rotation of the actuating lever 2 around the second axis 21, clockwise.
  • This actuation of the actuation lever 2 causes a rotation of the locking element 1 around the first axis 11 in the same clockwise direction, against the springs 8a, 8b.
  • This rotation is made possible by the intermediate element 3, which allows the retraction of the locking element 1 of the attachment element 4a of the second central blade 4, while transmitting the rotational movement to it.
  • the second intermediate pin 32 is positioned at a first longitudinal end of the groove 22, on the side of the center of the clasp.
  • FIG 8 illustrates the same sectional view of the clasp along a plane II in an opposite phase of closing the first blade 5 on the second central blade 4.
  • the actuating lever 2 is pivoted around the second axis 21 in an anti-clockwise direction, which brings the locking element 1 into engagement with the hooking element 4a of the second blade 4.
  • the two degrees of freedom of the intermediate element 3 relative to the actuating lever 2 are particularly advantageous because they allow movement of the locking element 1 relative to the complementary attachment element 4a, allowing it to cross the end of this hooking element 4a, so that the latter can be positioned under the hooking element 4a, to reach the final closed position represented by the figure 4 .
  • the movement of the second intermediate pin 32 within the groove 22 in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the actuating lever 2 promotes this correct positioning of the locking element 1.
  • the second intermediate pin 32 is first positioned at a second longitudinal end of the groove 22, on the side of the end of the clasp, before moving towards the opposite first longitudinal end.
  • the arrangement of the intermediate element allows temporary actuation of the locking element 1 in clockwise pivoting while the actuating lever 2 pivots in the anti-clockwise direction along the second axis 21, allowing it to cross the end of the attachment element 4a and allowing it to be able to take position under this attachment element.
  • the intermediate element 3 thus finally confers on the locking element 1 a certain autonomy relative to the actuating lever 2, sufficient to guarantee its correct positioning in all the actuations of the actuating lever 2. Thanks to the intermediate element 3, the actuating lever 2 is in particular stationary during the closing phase of the clasp.
