It is known that bracelets, and more particularly watch straps, with an open-out buckle-type clasp have great aesthetic advantages but are difficult to adapt to the size of the wearers wrist.
The problem of the present invention is to eliminate this shortcoming. The invention relates to a clasp of the open-out buckle type which permits the regulation of the length of the buckle formed by the bracelet which it closes.
The present invention therefore has for its object a clasp for a bracelet, notably a watch strap comprising two legs articulated relative to one another at one of their ends and each provided at their other end with means for receiving a bracelet member, notably of leather, having a first means for locking the two legs of the clasp relative to one another, said clasp being characterised in that one of the two legs is telescopic and formed by two portions able to slide relative to one another and that said clasp has a second locking means different from said first means for ensuring the relative positioning of the two portions of the telescopic leg, said first means ensuring the locking of the two legs of the clasp for each of the lengths of the telescopic leg determined by the second locking means.
Advantageously the two legs are flat and curvedso that they can substantially follow the shape of the wrist.
Preferably, for making regulation easier, the telescopic leg is in contact with the wearers wrist.
According to an embodiment of the invention one of the two portions of the telescopic leg is slidingly mounted relative to the other via a dovetail slot, the variation of the length of the telescopic leg being determined by a lug carried by one of the portions of said leg and inserted in an oblong hole in the other. Advantageously the locking means according to the relative marked positions of one of the portions of the telescopic leg relative to the other comprises an elastic foil fixed to one of said portions and spaced openings in the sliding direction and a projection which can be inserted in said holes and fixed to the other portion of the telescopic leg.
According to another embodiment one of the portions of the telescopic leg forms a sleeve for the other. In this case the locking means according to the relative marked positions of one of the portions of the telescopic leg relative to the other comprises an elastic portion of the part introduced into the sleeve for at least one projection and a plurality of openings in said sleeve, whereby said projections can be inserted into each of said openings.
Preferably the end of the portion inserted in the sleeve is shaped like a fork with three flat prongs, whereof the central rigid prong opposes the two outer elastic prongs carrying the lateral projections.
As a variant the means for locking the legs on one another can comprise a spring clip fixed to one of the legs and spaced openings in the other leg and whose spacing corresponds to that of the openings in the locking means of the two portions of the telescopic leg relative to one another. In this case advantageously the spring clip is fixed to the telescopic leg, whereby the spaced openings are provided in the other leg.
According to another embodiment of the invention both legs of the clasp can be telescopic.
The attached drawings give a better understanding of the invention. 7
FIG. I shows in perspective in the open position a clasp according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section in the closed position of the clasp of FIG. I; I
FIG. 3 isya cross-section along the line III-Ill of FIG. 2;
FIG. .4 shows one of the portions of the telescopic leg of the clasp of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 shows in perspective in the open position a variant of the clasp of the invention;
FIG. 6 is a longitudinal section in the closed position of the clasp of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a cross-section along the line VlI-VII of FIG. 5;
FIGS. 8 and 9 are respectively cross-sections along the lines VIII-VIII and IXIX of FIG. 6;
FIG. 10 shows one of the portions of the telescopic leg of the clasp of FIG. 5.
The clasp shown in FIG. 1 has two curved, flat legs 1 and 2 each pivoted at 3 at one end so that they are either spaced from one another (FIG. I) or superposed (FIG. 2).
To the free ends 4 and 5 of legs 1 and 2 are fixed the ends of a bracelet 6, e.g., a watch strap. A platelet 7 having raised edges and fixed to leg 1 masks from the outside the connection of the ends of the bracelet.
Leg 1 is a single member and has at its end 4 a central spring clasp 8.
Thus the clasp of FIGS. 1 to 4 permits, through the regulation of the length of branch 2, the adjustment of the length of bracelet 6.
The embodiment of the clasp according to the invention shown in FIG. 5 has two flat, curved legs 17 and I8, pivoted at 19 at one end so that they can be spaced relative to one another (FIG. 5) or superposed (FIG. 6).
To the free ends 20, 21 of legs 17, 18 are fixed the ends of a bracelet 22, e.g., a watch strap. As in the previous embodiment a platelet 23 with raised edges and fixed to leg 17 permits the masking from the outside of the connection of the two ends of the bracelet 22. Leg 17 is a single member and has a plurality of spaced openings 24.
I claim:
1. Clasp for a bracelet comprising two legs, each having one end pivotally connected to one end of the other locking the two portions of the telescopic leg in any of several relative positions corresponding to different lengths of the telescopic leg and defined by spaced openings in one of said relatively slidable portions, said first locking means comprising a spring clip fixed to one of the legs and spaced openings in the other leg spaced by the same distance as the openings in said one slidable portion, said first locking means being adapted to lock the legs of the clasp together with the two portions of said telescopic leg in any of said several positions.
2. Clasp as claimed in claim 1 wherein said spring clip is fixed to the telescopic leg, and the spaced openings are formed in the other leg.
3. Clasp as claimed in claim 1 wherein one of said portions of the telescopic leg is mounted to slide relative to the other by means of a dovetail slot.
4. Clasp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the means for locking one of the portions of the telescopic leg relative to the other comprises an elastic strip fixed to one of said portions and provided with longitudinally spaced holes and a projection on the other portion of the telescopic le'g positioned to be inserted in said holes.
