Abstract

The wrist-watch is provided with a bracelet comprising two ribbon lengths (1, 2) inserted in passages (5) at the dovetail flanks (6) which are drilled in the body (3) of the watch case. The lengths (1, 2) are kept in place by a relatively flat part which provides the closure of the case, for example the glass (4) or the bottom (16).

Description

M O N T R E - B R A C E L E T WRISTWATCH
Dans les montres-bracelets connues , qui correspondent au préam¬ bule de la revendication 1, les deux brins de ruban du bracelet sont généra¬ lement fixés à la carrure de la boîte de montre au moyen de barrettes à res¬ sort, ce qui permet un enlèvement et une mise en place aisés du bracelet quand cela s'avère nécessaire, par exemple aux fins d'une réparation ou d'un changement du bracelet.In known wristwatches, which correspond to the preamble of claim 1, the two strands of strap of the bracelet are generally fixed to the middle of the watch case by means of spring bars, which allows easy removal and fitting of the bracelet when necessary, for example for the purpose of repairing or changing the bracelet.
Cette solution a cependant quelques inconvénients aussi bien en ce qui concerne son fonctionnement qu'au point de vue esthétique. Il convient en effet de remarquer à ce sujet que des montres sont apparues sur le mar- •ché au cours de-ces dernières années, dans lesquelles les brins de ruban du bracelet sont soudés à la boîte de la montre, dans des cavités de celle-ci a- ménagées tout spécialement à cette fin.This solution however has some drawbacks both in terms of its operation and from an aesthetic point of view. It should indeed be noted in this connection that watches have appeared on the market in recent years, in which the strands of strap of the bracelet are welded to the watch case, in cavities of that -these- have been specially designed for this purpose.
Bien que ces bracelets soudés confèrent à la montré un aspect net¬ tement plus favorable que les bracelets fixés à l'aide de barrettes, et que leur fixation soit en outre plus sûre, ils présentent l'inconvénient que le bracelet ne peut être ni remplacé ni réparé sans recourir à des opérations coûteuses, consistant notamment à dessouder et à resouder le bracelet, puis à soumettre l'ensemble à un traitement galvanique qui ne peut évidemment être entrepris que par des maisons disposant d'un laboratoire spécialisé.Although these welded bracelets give the shown a clearly more favorable appearance than the bracelets fixed with bars, and that their fixing is also more secure, they have the drawback that the bracelet cannot be replaced. nor repaired without resorting to costly operations, notably consisting in unsoldering and resoldering the bracelet, then subjecting the assembly to a galvanic treatment which can obviously only be undertaken by houses having a specialized laboratory.
La présente invention vise donc à créer une montre-bracelet qui offre les mêmes particularités esthétiques et de sécurité que celles avec bra¬ celets soudés, mais dans laquelle le bracelet puisse être enlevé aisément, sans devoir recourir à des équipements particuliers.The present invention therefore aims to create a wristwatch which offers the same aesthetic and safety features as those with welded bra¬ celets, but in which the bracelet can be removed easily, without having to use special equipment.
Dans la montre-bracelet définie par la caractéristique de la reven¬ dication 1 , les brins du bracelet peuvent être extraits à la main, sans outil, de leur passage respectif de la carrure de la boîte de montre, simplement après avoir séparé de la carrure la pièce de la boîte qui les maintient en place, cette séparation étant une opération que tout horloger-rhabilleur ef¬ fectue couramment. Le bracelet encastré dans la boîte de la façon ainsi défi¬ nie a manifestement la même apparence qu'un bracelet soudé. En outre, la solidité de sa fixation est en tout point comparable à celle d'un bracelet sou¬ dé.In the wristwatch defined by the characteristic of reven¬ dication 1, the strands of the bracelet can be removed by hand, without tools, from their respective passage from the middle of the watch case, simply after having separated from the middle the part of the box which holds them in place, this separation being an operation that any watchmaker-dresser commonly performs. The bracelet encased in the case in this way clearly has the same appearance as a welded bracelet. In addition, the solidity of its attachment is comparable in all respects to that of a sou¬ die bracelet.
O Dans les formes spéciales d'exécution définies par les revendica¬ tions 2 à 4, la pièce de la boîte à enlever pour libérer le bracelet est le ver¬ re, la lunette, le fond, un anneau ou un cadre, c'est-à-dire une pièce que l'horloger-rhabilleur est notoirement habitué à séparer de la carrure d'une boîte de montre.O In the special embodiments defined by claims 2 to 4, the part of the box to be removed to release the bracelet is the glass, the bezel, the bottom, a ring or a frame, that is in other words, a piece that the watchmaker-dresser is notoriously used to separating from the middle of a watch case.
Quant à la revendication 5 , elle définit un encastrement des brins de ruban du bracelet qui a l'avantage de ne pas exposer la pièce fixée amo- viblement à la carrure, pour maintenir les brins de ruban du bracelet en place, à être séparée intempestivement de cette carrure, par exemple lorsque le bracelet subit un fort moment de flexion au voisinage de ses points d'en¬ castrement.As for claim 5, it defines an embedding of the ribbon strands of the bracelet which has the advantage of not exposing the part fixed loosely to the middle part, to keep the strands of the bracelet ribbon in place, to be untimely separated of this middle part, for example when the bracelet undergoes a strong bending moment in the vicinity of its points of engagement.
' . , Deux formes d'exécution et une variante de la montre-bracelet se¬ lon l'invention sont représentées schématiquement et à simple titre d'exemple au dessin dans lequel:'. , Two embodiments and a variant of the wristwatch according to the invention are shown schematically and simply by way of example in the drawing in which:

la Fig. 8 en est une vue en perspective explosée; la Fig . 9 en est une vue en bout semblable à celle de la Fig . 3 , etFig. 8 is an exploded perspective view thereof; Fig. 9 is an end view similar to that of FIG. 3, and
la Fig . 10 est une coupe partielle de la variante.Fig. 10 is a partial section of the variant.
Dans la première forme d'exécution de la montre-bracelet selon l'in¬ vention (Fig. 1 à 4) , le bracelet comprend deux brins de ruban 1 , 2 qui sont fixés à la carrure 3 de la boîte de montre par le verre 4. A cet effet, la carrure 3 présente un passage 5 (Fig . 3 et 4) pour chaque brin 1, 2 du bracelet. Les flancs 6 de ces passages 5 ne sont pas parallèles entre eux, mais s'écartent l'un de l'autre vers l'intérieur de la boîte. De plus, ils pré¬ sentent un rebord intérieur 7 s'étendant tout le long de leur bord supérieur, l'espace libre des passages 5 sous ces rebords ayant une hauteur égale à l'é¬ paisseur des brins 1 , 2.In the first embodiment of the wristwatch according to the invention (Fig. 1 to 4), the bracelet comprises two strands of ribbon 1, 2 which are fixed to the middle part 3 of the watch case by the glass 4. To this end, the middle part 3 has a passage 5 (FIGS. 3 and 4) for each strand 1, 2 of the bracelet. The sides 6 of these passages 5 are not parallel to each other, but separate from one another towards the inside of the box. In addition, they present an inner rim 7 extending all along their upper edge, the free space of the passages 5 under these rims having a height equal to the thickness of the strands 1, 2.
De leur côté, les brins 1 , 2 ont une forme adaptée à celle des pas¬ sages 5 de la carrure 3. La partie 8 de ces brins, qui est destinée à être insérée dans les passages 5 va notamment en s'élargissant en direction de l'extrémité des dits brins, la largeur de cette partie 8 des brins 1 , 2 et l'in¬ clinaison des bords 9 (Fig. 4) de cette partie étant égales respectivement à la largeur des passages 5 et à l'inclinaison des flancs 6 de ces passages, de façon que dans la position occupée par les brins 1 , 2 dans la Fig. 1, leurs parties extrêmes 8 soient engagées sous les rebords 7 des flancs 8 des pas¬ sages 5 , les bords latéraux 9 de ces parties extrêmes étant appliqués contre les flancs 6. En raison des inclinaisons décrites des flancs 6 des passages 5 et des bords 9 de la partie extrême 8 des brins du bracelet, il est clair que les brins 1, 2 de la Fig. 1 ne peuvent pas s'écarter de la boîte sous l'effet d'une traction.For their part, the strands 1, 2 have a shape adapted to that of the pas¬ wise 5 of the middle part 3. The part 8 of these strands, which is intended to be inserted in the passages 5 goes in particular widening in the direction from the end of said strands, the width of this part 8 of the strands 1, 2 and the inclination of the edges 9 (FIG. 4) of this part being equal respectively to the width of the passages 5 and to the inclination sides 6 of these passages, so that in the position occupied by the strands 1, 2 in FIG. 1, their end portions 8 are engaged under the edges 7 of the flanks 8 of the passageways 5, the lateral edges 9 of these end portions being applied against the flanks 6. Due to the inclinations described on the flanks 6 of the passages 5 and of the edges 9 of the extreme part 8 of the strands of the bracelet, it is clear that the strands 1, 2 of FIG. 1 cannot move away from the box under the effect of traction.
Si les brins 1 , 2 du bracelet sont entièrement métalliques (milanais ou éléments massifs articulés) , l'inclinaison décrite des bords 9 des parties extrêmes 8 de ces brins doit se poursuivre dans la partie des dits brins qui s'éloigne de la boîte de montre, au moins sur une certaine distance, afin que ces brins aient une partie suffisamment étroite pour pouvoir passer entre les rebords 7 des flancs 6 des passages 5. C'est donc une telle partie des brins du bracelet qui sera d'abord insérée dans les passages 5. Les brins 1, 2 seront ensuite tirés vers l'extérieur de la boîte, en veillant qu'ils s'engagent bien sous les rebords 7 des flancs 6 des passages 5 dans lesquels ils sont respectivement engagés. Ils parviendront ainsi dans la position représentée à la Fig. 1. /^UR£ _ OMPI ~~ Lorsque les deux brins du bracelet ont ainsi été mis en place, le verre 4 est fixé à la carrure 3. Les extrémités 10 des brins du bracelet bu¬ tent alors contre les bords du verre 4, qui les emprisonne ainsi dans les passages 5 de la carrure 3 de la boîte.If the strands 1, 2 of the bracelet are entirely metallic (Milanese or massive articulated elements), the described inclination of the edges 9 of the end parts 8 of these strands must continue in the part of said strands which moves away from the box. shows, at least over a certain distance, so that these strands have a sufficiently narrow part to be able to pass between the edges 7 of the sides 6 of the passages 5. It is therefore such a part of the strands of the bracelet which will first be inserted the passages 5. The strands 1, 2 will then be pulled towards the outside of the box, making sure that they engage well under the edges 7 of the sides 6 of the passages 5 in which they are respectively engaged. They will thus arrive in the position shown in FIG. 1. / ^ UR £ _ WIPO ~~ When the two strands of the bracelet have thus been put in place, the glass 4 is fixed to the middle part 3. The ends 10 of the strands of the bracelet then bu¬ tent against the edges of the glass 4, which thus traps them in the passages 5 of the middle 3 of the case.
L'encastrement produit par les rebords internes 7 des flancs 6 des passages 5 (au lieu de le réaliser à l'aide du verre) a l'avantage d'éviter que le verre 4 soit écarté de la carrure 3 , par exemple à la suite d'un fort mo¬ ment de flexion de l'un des brins du bracelet, qui serait engendré au voisi¬ nage du point d'encastrement. Par rapport aux bracelets soudés à la carrure de la boîte de montre, la fixation décrite a encore l'avantage, en particulier dans le cas des bracelets milanais, que la partie du bracelet qui quitte la boîte conserve toute sa souplesse, tandis que la soudure coulant souvent 'dans cette partie la rigidifie au point d'exposer certains des fils tressés du bracelet au risque d'une rupture.The embedding produced by the internal edges 7 of the sides 6 of the passages 5 (instead of making it using the glass) has the advantage of preventing the glass 4 from being moved away from the middle part 3, for example at the following a strong bending moment of one of the strands of the bracelet, which would be generated in the vicinity of the embedding point. Compared to the straps welded to the middle of the watch case, the attachment described still has the advantage, in particular in the case of Milanese straps, that the part of the strap that leaves the box retains all its flexibility, while the soldering often flowing 'in this part stiffens it to the point of exposing some of the braided threads of the bracelet to the risk of rupture.
Dans la variante de la Fig. 10 , les brins 1, 2 du bracelet sont bloqués longitudinalement dans les passages 5 de la carrure 3 par une frette 11 entourant le verre 4, et le fixant à la carrure 3.In the variant of FIG. 10, the strands 1, 2 of the bracelet are blocked longitudinally in the passages 5 of the middle part 3 by a hoop 11 surrounding the glass 4, and fixing it to the middle part 3.
Pour démonter le bracelet, il faut d'abord enlever le verre 4 (ou la frette 11) , puis repousser les brins 1 , 2 du bracelet vers l'intérieur de la boîte, jusqu'à ce qu'une partie assez étroite de ces brins puisse passer entre les rebords internes 7 des flancs 6 des passages 5.To disassemble the bracelet, first remove the glass 4 (or the hoop 11), then push the strands 1, 2 of the bracelet towards the inside of the box, until a fairly narrow part of these strands can pass between the internal edges 7 of the sides 6 of the passages 5.
La seconde forme d'exécution (Fig . 5 à 9) diffère de la première par le fait que les brins de ruban 12 , 13 du bracelet sont encastrés dans des passages 14 (Fig. 9) de la carrure 15 formés non plus dans sa face su¬ périeure, mais dans sa face inférieure et par le fait que c'est le fond 16 de la boîte qui verrouille ces brins dans les passages en question, de la même façon que le faisait le verre 4 (ou la frette 11) dans la première forme d'e¬ xécution et la variante.The second embodiment (Fig. 5 to 9) differs from the first in that the strands of ribbon 12, 13 of the bracelet are embedded in passages 14 (Fig. 9) of the middle part no longer formed in its upper face, but in its lower face and by the fact that it is the bottom 16 of the box which locks these strands in the passages in question, in the same way as the glass 4 (or the hoop 11) did in the first form of execution and the variant.
Si le fond de la boîte est vissé dans la carrure, les rebords inter¬ nes 17 (Fig. 9) des flancs des passages 14 de la carrure 15 sont superflus. En lieu et place de ces rebords, c'est une battue du fond qui pourrait re¬ couvrir les passages 14 de la carrure 15 contenant les parties extrêmes des brins 12, 13 du bracelet.If the bottom of the case is screwed into the middle, the internal edges 17 (Fig. 9) of the sides of the passages 14 of the middle 15 are superfluous. In place of these edges, it is a battered bottom which could re¬ cover the passages 14 of the middle part 15 containing the end portions of the strands 12, 13 of the bracelet.
_ OMFI Dans d'autres variantes (non représentées) , les brins du bracelet pourraient aussi être bloqués dans des passages correspondants de la carru¬ re par un anneau indépendant ou, dans le cas des boîtes de forme, par un cadre, fixé pour soi à la carrure et servant éventuellement à retenir, voire à fixer le fond._ OMFI In other variants (not shown), the strands of the bracelet could also be blocked in corresponding passages of the square by an independent ring or, in the case of shaped boxes, by a frame, fixed for itself to the middle and possibly serving to retain, even to fix the bottom.
Dans les exécutions décrites , le bracelet apparaît solidement fixé à la boîte, cela sans recourir nécessairement à un élément de liaison supplé¬ mentaire . L'aspect esthétique de ces montres-bracelets est tout à fait compa¬ rable à celui des montres auxquelles les bracelets sont soudés , mais le bra¬ celet selon l'invention est facilement démontable, ce qui permet de le réparer ou de le remplacer, opérations qui s'avèrent extrêmement difficiles dans le cas des bracelets soudés à la boîte.In the embodiments described, the bracelet appears firmly attached to the case, without necessarily having to use an additional connecting element. The aesthetic appearance of these wristwatches is completely comparable to that of the watches to which the straps are welded, but the bra¬ celet according to the invention is easily removable, which makes it possible to repair or replace it, operations which prove extremely difficult in the case of bracelets welded to the case.
L'invention n'est pas limitée à l'utilisation de bracelets métalliques . Pour garantir la solidité de l'ancrage des brins du bracelet à la carrure, il suffit que la partie de ces brins qui est encastrée dans la carrure, soit suf¬ fisamment rigide pour, ne pas sortir des passages 5 , 14 à la suite d'une trac¬ tion exercée sur ces brins . On pourrait ainsi fort bien utiliser des bracelets en matière synthétique , en cuir et même en tissu , dont les extrémités se¬ raient fixées à des embouts métalliques de forme trapézoïdale.The invention is not limited to the use of metal bracelets. To guarantee the solidity of the anchoring of the strands of the bracelet to the middle part, it suffices that the part of these strands which is embedded in the middle part is sufficiently rigid so as not to leave the passages 5, 14 following d 'a traction exerted on these strands. One could thus very well use bracelets made of synthetic material, leather and even fabric, the ends of which are fixed to metal end caps of trapezoidal shape.
