Exemple : pour avoir les mêmes arguments que mon invention un bijoutier dans sa vitrine doit avoir recourt à un présentoir artificiel.Example: to have the same arguments as my invention, a jeweler in his showcase must have recourse to an artificial display.
Autres avantages : mon bracelet peut être adapté à toutes sortes de boîtes de montres homme, femme, enfant, petit ou grand. La tension du bracelet se fait automatiquement.Other advantages: my bracelet can be adapted to all kinds of watch cases for men, women, children, small or large. The strap is tensioned automatically.
Pour la section articulée, tous les types de bracelet sont adaptables à mon invention soit : bracelet métallique, cuir ou plastique. La section du bracelet peut être rectangulaire, ronde, carrée etc. Pour la section rigide, le design de la partie articulée peut être reproduite.For the articulated section, all types of bracelet are adaptable to my invention either: metallic, leather or plastic bracelet. The section of the bracelet can be rectangular, round, square etc. For the rigid section, the design of the articulated part can be reproduced.
Les organes de liaison bracelet boîte sont traditionnelles soit côté rigide du bracelet style barrette, côté souple fermoir rapide style clic-clac. Descriptif de fonctionnement de mon invention.The bracelet bracelet connecting members are traditional, ie the rigid side of the bar-style bracelet, the flexible side of the quick-release clasp in the click-clack style. Description of operation of my invention.
La partie rigide du bracelet Fig. 2 est un profilé métallique ou plastique rond, carré etc. Ce profilé est adapté aux grandeurs standards des poignets homme, femme et est divisé en trois rayons différents pour s'adapter parfaitement à la morphologie du poignet. Ces profilés sont de section tubulaire pour permettre d'y loger un moyen de rappel automatique soit, pneumatique.The rigid part of the bracelet Fig. 2 is a round or square metal or plastic profile, etc. This profile is adapted to the standard sizes of men's and women's wrists and is divided into three different spokes to adapt perfectly to the morphology of the wrist. These sections are of tubular section to allow the housing of an automatic or pneumatic return means.
La section tubulaire de la partie rigide sert de cylindre no. 1 à l'intérieur duquel se loge un piston muni d'un segment d'étanchéité (style Oring) no. 2. Le système de rappel pneumatique s'obtient par vide d'air (vacum) à l'aide d'une vis de purge à l'extrémité du bracelet no. 3 ainsi que la tension et la vitesse de rappel de la partie souple du bracelet no 4. La partie souple du bracelet vient se fixer à l'embout du piston par une simple goupille no. 5. Ce système résiste aux intempéries, froid, chaud et à l'eau.The tubular section of the rigid part serves as cylinder no. 1 inside which is housed a piston provided with a sealing segment (Oring style) no. 2. The pneumatic return system is obtained by vacuum (vacum) using a bleed screw at the end of bracelet no. 3 as well as the tension and the return speed of the flexible part of bracelet no 4. The flexible part of the bracelet is fixed to the end of the piston by a simple pin no. 5. This system resists bad weather, cold, hot and water.
Avantage de la conception c'est qu'il est simple de réalisation soit en pièce de fabrication, usinage, encombrement du système. Donc, prix de fabrication très intéressant. Advantage of the design is that it is simple to produce either in the part of manufacture, machining, size of the system. So very interesting manufacturing price.
