Description
Domaine de l’inventionField of the invention
L’invention concerne des bracelets constitués de maillons, notamment métalliques, plus particulièrement destinés au domaine de l’horlogerie et de la bijouterie. De tels bracelets peuvent ainsi notamment être associés à une montre ou constituer un bijou.The invention relates to bracelets made up of links, in particular metal links, more particularly intended for the field of watchmaking and jewellery. Such bracelets can thus in particular be associated with a watch or constitute a jewel.
Elle vise plus particulièrement des bracelets à maillons articulés les uns avec les autres.It relates more particularly to bracelets with links articulated with each other.
Etat antérieur de la techniquePrior state of the art
Les bracelets articulés sont largement connus. Ils sont traditionnellement constitués de maillons assemblés à l’aide de goupilles ou de tiges libres.Articulated bracelets are widely known. They are traditionally made of links assembled using pins or free rods.
De tels bracelets métalliques comprennent des maillons articulés qui peuvent être constitués chacun de plusieurs éléments de maillons, respectivement des éléments de maillons centraux et des éléments de maillons latéraux. Typiquement, l’élément de maillon central est articulé à deux éléments de maillons latéraux du maillon immédiatement consécutif.Such metal bracelets comprise articulated links which may each consist of several link elements, respectively central link elements and side link elements. Typically, the central link element is hinged to two side link elements of the immediately consecutive link.
La tige ou goupille précitée traverse l’élément de maillon central, pourvu d’un alésage à cet effet, et est reçue dans des logements ménagés au sein des éléments de maillons latéraux.The aforementioned rod or pin passes through the central link element, provided with a bore for this purpose, and is received in housings provided within the side link elements.
Traditionnellement, les tiges ou goupilles sont insérées au niveau des éléments de maillons latéraux au niveau d’orifices débouchant au niveau de la face latérale externe desdits éléments latéraux. Ce faisant, une fois la goupille insérée, il convient de boucher l’orifice traversant par ajout de matière, puis de polir ladite face latérale afin de conférer à cette dernière un caractère esthétique. En d’autres termes, outre que cette opération de reprise est chronophage, elle ne permet pas de maîtriser correctement la largeur du bracelet. En effet, si de trop nombreuses retouches ou opérations de reprise sont à réaliser, la largeur du bracelet n’est plus correcte et entraîne le rebut. On se heurte donc, avec de telles opérations de reprise, à des problèmes de répétabilité, problèmes encore plus exacerbés lorsque le bracelet est destiné à venir se fixer sur une montre, qui nécessite encore davantage de précision.Traditionally, the rods or pins are inserted at the level of the side link elements at the level of openings at the level of the outer side face of the said side elements. In doing so, once the pin has been inserted, it is necessary to plug the through hole by adding material, then to polish said side face in order to give it an aesthetic character. In other words, apart from the fact that this recovery operation is time-consuming, it does not allow the width of the strap to be correctly controlled. Indeed, if too many alterations or reworking operations are to be carried out, the width of the strap is no longer correct and leads to scrapping. We therefore come up against, with such recovery operations, problems of repeatability, problems that are even more exacerbated when the bracelet is intended to be fixed on a watch, which requires even more precision.
Afin de surmonter cette difficulté et notamment cet aspect esthétique, il a été proposé d’insérer les tiges ou goupilles dans des orifices borgnes ménagés au niveau des éléments de maillons latéraux, de sorte que les axes d’articulation ou tiges ne sont plus visibles sur les surfaces latérales des éléments de maillons latéraux, évitant ce faisant les opérations de reprise précitées. Cependant, ce mode assemblage s’avère d’une solidité mécanique toute relative et en tout cas insuffisante compte tenu des exigences des fabricants et autres concepteurs de tels bracelets.In order to overcome this difficulty and in particular this aesthetic aspect, it has been proposed to insert the rods or pins into blind holes provided at the level of the side link elements, so that the hinge pins or rods are no longer visible on the side surfaces of the side link elements, thereby avoiding the aforementioned recovery operations. However, this assembly method proves to be of relative mechanical strength and in any case insufficient given the requirements of manufacturers and other designers of such bracelets.
Il a de fait été proposé dans le document FR 2 755 630 d’introduire au fond des trous borgnes un matériau de soudure, la soudure proprement dite étant réalisée après introduction de la tige ou de la goupille dans ledit trou borgne. Si ce procédé d’assemblage permet d’optimiser l’intégrité du bracelet ainsi constitué, il nécessite donc l’introduction préalable au fond des trous borgnes de matériau de soudure, générant dès lors une opération supplémentaire et donc également chronophage.It has in fact been proposed in document FR 2 755 630 to introduce a welding material at the bottom of the blind holes, the actual welding being carried out after introduction of the rod or pin into said blind hole. Although this assembly process makes it possible to optimize the integrity of the bracelet thus formed, it therefore requires the prior introduction at the bottom of the blind holes of welding material, therefore generating an additional operation and therefore also time-consuming.
L’objectif de l’invention est donc de surmonter ces différents inconvénients.The object of the invention is therefore to overcome these various drawbacks.
L’invention vise ainsi un bracelet souple, notamment pour articles de bijouterie ou d’horlogerie, constitué de maillons notamment métalliques juxtaposés, articulés entre eux au moyen d’axes transversaux, notamment tiges ou goupilles, reçus au sein desdits maillons.The invention thus relates to a flexible bracelet, in particular for jewelry or watchmaking articles, consisting of juxtaposed metal links in particular, articulated to one another by means of transverse axes, in particular rods or pins, received within said links.
Selon invention :
– lesdits axes sont reçus au sein de logements borgnes ménagés au sein des parties latérales desdits maillons ;
– les extrémités desdits axes sont clipsées au sein desdits logements borgnes, ces derniers étant munis d’un épaulement apte à réaliser cet enclipsage.According to invention:
- Said axes are received within blind housings provided within the side portions of said links;
- the ends of said axes are clipped within said blind housings, the latter being provided with a shoulder capable of carrying out this clipping.
En d’autres termes, l’invention consiste :
– d’une part, à réaliser l’assemblage des différents maillons au moyen de tiges ou goupilles reçues dans des orifices borgnes, c’est-à-dire non débouchant au niveau des faces latérales des éléments latéraux des maillons, garantissant ainsi l’aspect esthétique du bracelet et le respect strict des cotes notamment en termes de largeur dudit bracelet ;
– d’autre part, à conférer la résistance mécanique à l’assemblage ainsi réalisé, de par le clipsage desdites tiges ou goupilles au sein des éléments latéraux dédits maillons.In other words, the invention consists of:
– on the one hand, to carry out the assembly of the various links by means of rods or pins received in blind holes, that is to say not emerging at the level of the side faces of the side elements of the links, thus guaranteeing the aesthetic appearance of the bracelet and strict compliance with the dimensions, in particular in terms of width of said bracelet;
– on the other hand, to confer mechanical resistance on the assembly thus produced, by clipping said rods or pins within the side elements forfeited links.
A cette fin, les deux extrémités de chaque tige ou goupille sont fendues, et on joue sur l’élasticité du matériau qui les constitue, typiquement en métal, pour forcer leur insertion au niveau des trous borgnes et induire ensuite leur coopération avec les épaulements ménagés au sein de ces derniers. Ces tiges ou goupilles étant de dimensions standardisées, on conforte le respect strict des cotes latérales des bracelets résultant de ces assemblages.To this end, the two ends of each rod or pin are split, and the elasticity of the material which constitutes them, typically metal, is played on to force their insertion at the level of the blind holes and then induce their cooperation with the shoulders provided. within these. These rods or pins being of standardized dimensions, it reinforces the strict respect of the side dimensions of the bracelets resulting from these assemblies.
En outre, lorsque l’on souhaite diminuer le « flex », c’est-à-dire la courbure du bracelet, il est également envisageable d’introduire, au fond des trous borgnes, un matériau de brasure en pâte ou en paillon, et l’on soumet alors le bracelet après assemblage à une élévation de température en vue d’induire le brasage desdites extrémités desdites tiges ou goupilles au niveau des trous borgnes. La quantité de matériau de brasure est standardisée, de sorte que l’on ne risque pas de quelconque débordement dudit matériau de brasure en dehors du trou borgne lors de l’élévation de température.In addition, when it is desired to reduce the "flex", that is to say the curvature of the bracelet, it is also possible to introduce, at the bottom of the blind holes, a solder material in paste or paillon, and the bracelet is then subjected after assembly to a temperature rise in order to induce the brazing of said ends of said rods or pins at the level of the blind holes. The amount of solder material is standardized, so that there is no risk of any overflow of said solder material outside the blind hole during the temperature rise.
