Abstract
This metal bracelet is comprised of elements which are hinged to each other and which may look as in the left hand side or in the right hand side of the drawing. Each of those elements comprises a body (1) carrying the hinge pins (2, 3) of its articulation hinges to adjacent elements. A thin piece (4, 9) is welded or glued on top of the body (1). It has the double advantage to hide the hinges cooperating with those of the adjacent elements and to be cut out so as to allow the insertion of a decorative piece (6, 10).
Description
B R A C E L E T M E T A L L I Q U E B R A C E L E T M E T A L L I Q U E
Dans les bracelets connus du type défini par le préambule de la revendication 1 , l'articulation des éléments entre eux est réalisée habi¬ tuellement par des charnières. Pour que se justifie le coût de ces brace¬ lets, qui est un multiple de celui des bracelets en cuir, il ne suffit pas de les rendre durables; il faut en outre en soigner l'aspect. Pour cela, il importe avant tout de camoufler les articulations, c'est-à-dire de les rendre invisibles quand le bracelet est porté.In the known bracelets of the type defined by the preamble of claim 1, the articulation of the elements between them is usually carried out by hinges. To justify the cost of these braces, which is a multiple of that of leather bracelets, it is not enough to make them durable; it is also necessary to look after its appearance. For this, it is above all important to camouflage the joints, that is to say to make them invisible when the bracelet is worn.
Il existe plusieurs solutions qui remplissent parfaitement cette condition. Les solutions connues ont cependant toutes l'inconvénient que les éléments composant le bracelet n'ont pas des formes simples. Il en résulte un usinage laborieux de ces éléments, qui doit être effectué avec soin pour que le fonctionnement soit garanti et l'esthétique satisfaisante.There are several solutions that perfectly meet this condition. The known solutions, however, all have the drawback that the elements making up the bracelet do not have simple shapes. This results in laborious machining of these elements, which must be carried out with care so that operation is guaranteed and the aesthetics satisfactory.
Le bracelet défini par la caractéristique de la revendication 1 évite l'inconvénient susmentionné. Les articulations sont camouflées par des pièces ornementales minces, qui peuvent donc être formées par sim¬ ple découpage et qu'il est aisé de fixer aux corps des éléments du bra¬ celet, qui peuvent eux-mêmes être fabriqués sans complication, en raison de leur forme géométrique simple.The bracelet defined by the characteristic of claim 1 avoids the aforementioned drawback. The joints are camouflaged by thin ornamental pieces, which can therefore be formed by simple cutting and which it is easy to fix to the bodies elements of the brael, which can themselves be manufactured without complication, due to their simple geometric shape.
Dans les formes spéciales d'exécution définies par la revendica¬ tion 2, il suffit de soumettre la face exposée des dites pièces minces à des opérations de terminaison particulières pour conférer au bracelet l'aspect voulu, puisque ces pièces recouvrent entièrement le corps des éléments du bracelet et sont donc seules visibles au porter.
Conformément aux particularités définies par la revendication 3 , ces pièces minces peuvent même jouer le rôle de bouclier protecteur des éléments du bracelet, en rendant son aspect pratiquement inaliéna¬ ble.In the special embodiments defined by the CLAIMS 2, it suffices to subject the exposed face of said thin parts to specific termination operations to give the bracelet the desired appearance, since these parts completely cover the body of the elements. of the bracelet and are therefore only visible when worn. In accordance with the features defined by claim 3, these thin parts can even play the role of protective shield for the elements of the bracelet, making its appearance practically inaliéna¬ ble.
Les formes d'exécution définies par la revendication 4 profitent de la possibilité offerte par des plaquettes minces, de découper dans cel¬ les-ci une ouverture centrale, qui permet de monter une (pièce décorati¬ ve, par exemple un corindon, sur les éléments du bracelet.The embodiments defined by claim 4 take advantage of the possibility offered by thin plates, to cut into the latter a central opening, which makes it possible to mount a ( decorative piece, for example a corundum, on the bracelet elements.
Quant au cadre défini par la revendication 5, il a l'avantage de protéger des égrisures les bords d'une pièce en métal dur fritte, montée sur l'élément du bracelet, à l'intérieur de ce cadre.As for the frame defined by claim 5, it has the advantage of protecting from edges the edges of a piece of sintered hard metal, mounted on the element of the bracelet, inside this frame.
Deux formes d'exécution du bracelet selon l'invention sont re¬ présentées schématiquement et à simple titre d'exemple au dessin dans lequel:Two embodiments of the bracelet according to the invention are shown schematically and simply by way of example in the drawing in which:
la Fig. 1 représente, dans sa partie de gauche, un élément du bracelet selon la première forme d'exécution en perspective explosée, et, dans sa partie de droite, un élément du bracelet selon la seconde forme d'exécution, etFig. 1 represents, in its left part, an element of the bracelet according to the first embodiment in exploded perspective, and, in its right part, an element of the bracelet according to the second embodiment, and
la Fig. 2 est une coupe transversale de deux éléments adja- cents du bracelet selon cette seconde forme d'exécution.Fig. 2 is a cross section of two adjacent elements of the bracelet according to this second embodiment.
L'élément du bracelet selon la première forme d'exécution, re¬ présenté à la Fig. 1, comprend un corps rectangulaire plat 1, sur les bords longitudinaux duquel sont soudés les gonds de charnière 2, 3. Au lieu d'appliquer ces gonds contre des bords concaves, comme représenté au dessin, on pourrait tout aussi bien les souder contre des bords plats.The element of the bracelet according to the first embodiment, shown in FIG. 1, comprises a flat rectangular body 1, on the longitudinal edges of which the hinge hinges 2, 3 are welded. Instead of applying these hinges against concave edges, as shown in the drawing, they could just as well be welded against flat edges.
Une pièce mince 4, également plate, est fixée par dessus le corps 1, auquel elle est solidarisée par adhérence. Selon les matériaux du corps 1 et de la pièce 4, cette adhernce peut être réalisée par exem¬ ple par soudage ou collage des surfaces en contact ou par des points de soudure électrique.A thin piece 4, also flat, is fixed over the body 1, to which it is secured by adhesion. Depending on the materials of the body 1 and of the part 4, this bonding can be carried out for example by welding or bonding the surfaces in contact or by electric welding spots.
La pièce 4 a la même longueur que le corps 1, mais elle est
plus large, de façon à s'étendre au moins approximativement jusqu'au- dessus de l'axe des gonds 2 , 3. Sa face supérieure, visible, est soumise à des opérations de terminaison destinées à lui conférer un aspect soi¬ gné, tenant lieu d'ornement du bracelet. Une ouverture 5 est découpée dans la partie centrale de la pièce 4. De ce fait, ses angles peuvent être vifs; mais n'importe quelle forme avec parties arrondies peut évidemment lui être donnée. Une pièce décorative 6 prend place dans l'ouverture 5. Le bord inférieur 7 de cette pièce 6 est prismatique. Sa fauteur est éga¬ le à l'épaisseur de la pièce 4. Dans sa partie supérieure, la pièce 6 pré- sente des biseaux 8, assez inclinés pour n'offrir aucune prise à des corps étrangers avec lesquels le bracelet peut entrer en contact acciden¬ tellement .Part 4 has the same length as body 1, but is wider, so as to extend at least approximately up to above the axis of the hinges 2, 3. Its visible upper surface is subjected to termination operations intended to give it a distinct appearance, replacing the bracelet. An opening 5 is cut in the central part of the part 4. As a result, its angles can be sharp; but any shape with rounded parts can obviously be given to it. A decorative piece 6 takes place in the opening 5. The lower edge 7 of this piece 6 is prismatic. Its maker is equal to the thickness of the part 4. In its upper part, the part 6 has bevels 8, inclined enough to offer no grip to foreign bodies with which the bracelet can come into contact. so accidental.
De préférence, la pièce 6 sera faite en un matériau dur, par exemple en corindon. Elle peut toutefois* aussi être faite en métal pré¬ cieux. Quant à la pièce ornementale 4, tous les métaux qui se prêtent au découpage sont utilisables; on en choisira cependant un qui soit assez dur pour que sa face visible ne s'altère pas trop rapidement au porter. Le corps 1, de son côté, peut être fait par exemple en acier inoxydable ou en laiton chromé ou plaqué. Des métaux précieux peuvent aussi être utilisés pour le corps 1 et la pièce ornementale 4.Preferably, the part 6 will be made of a hard material, for example corundum. It can however * also be made of precious metal. As for the ornamental piece 4, all the metals which lend themselves to cutting are usable; however, choose one that is hard enough so that its visible face does not change too quickly when worn. The body 1, for its part, can be made for example of stainless steel or of chromed or plated brass. Precious metals can also be used for the body 1 and the ornamental piece 4.
En variante, la pièce ornementale 4 peut aussi être pleine et recouvrir toute la face supérieure du corps 1. Dans ce cas, sa face su- périeure peut ne pas être plane. Elle peut par exemple avoir des angles biseautés ou être galbée. Dans cette variante, la pièce 4 peut être faite en métal dur.As a variant, the ornamental piece 4 can also be full and cover the entire upper face of the body 1. In this case, its upper face may not be planar. It can for example have beveled angles or be curved. In this variant, the part 4 can be made of hard metal.
La partie de droite de la Fig. 1 représente la seconde forme • d'exécution, qui ne diffère de la première que par les éléments ornemen¬ taux. Dans cette seconde forme d'exécution, la pièce ornementale fixée par adhérence au corps 1 , au-dessus de sa face externe, est constituée par un cadre 9 , relativement étroit, dont le contour extérieur est le mê¬ me que celui de la pièce 4 de la première forme d'exécution. Une pièce décorative 10 en métal dur est insérée dans le cadre 9. Les bords 11 de sa partie située au-dessus du cadre 9 sont biseautés, pour éviter les égrisures .The right part of FIG. 1 shows the second form • of execution, which differs from the first only by the ornamental elements. In this second embodiment, the ornamental piece fixed by adhesion to the body 1, above its outer face, is constituted by a frame 9, relatively narrow, whose outer contour is the same as that of the piece 4 of the first embodiment. A decorative piece 10 made of hard metal is inserted into the frame 9. The edges 11 of its part located above the frame 9 are bevelled, to avoid scratches.
La Fig. 2 représente deux éléments articulés l'un à l'autre du
bracelet selon la seconde forme d'exécution . Ils sont reliés l'un à l'autre par une goupille 12, engagée dans les gonds 2, 3 des dits éléments. On voit dans cette figure que quand le bracelet est à plat, les bords exter¬ nes des cadres 9 se touchent. Lorsque le bracelet est porté, ces bords s'éloignent quelque peu l'un de l'autre, mais pas suffisamment pour que les charnières deviennent visibles.
Fig. 2 represents two elements articulated to each other of the bracelet according to the second embodiment. They are connected to each other by a pin 12, engaged in the hinges 2, 3 of said elements. We see in this figure that when the bracelet is flat, the outer edges of the frames 9 touch. When the bracelet is worn, these edges move away from each other somewhat, but not enough for the hinges to become visible.
