Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une lanière sur un boîtier et, plus particulièrement, d'un bracelet sur le boîtier d'une montre.The present invention relates to a device for fixing a strap on a case and, more particularly, of a bracelet on the case of a watch.

Les dispositifs de fixation les plus couramment utilisés dans ce but comprennent deux supports solidaires du boi- tier de la montre et un axe télescopique, dont les extrémités viennent se fixer sur les deux supports et autour duquel est enroulé le bracelet.The most commonly used fastening devices for this purpose include two supports integral with the watch case and a telescopic pin, the ends of which are fixed on the two supports and around which the bracelet is wound.

Un tel dispositif assure le maintien du bracelet de façon sûre et est de plus d'une mise en oeuvre aisée. Il impose cependant des contraintes au niveau de l'esthétique, en raison de la nécessité d'utiliser deux supports disposés de part et d'autre du boîtier.Such a device maintains the bracelet securely and is also easy to use. However, it imposes constraints in terms of aesthetics, due to the need to use two supports arranged on either side of the housing.

Afin de s'affranchir de cette contrainte, la Demanderesse a proposé, dans la demande de brevet FR 79 02 743 du 2 Février 1979, un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur un boîtier de montre, dans lequel, en position d'utilisation, c'est-à-dire lorsque la montre est disposée sur le poignet de l'utilisateur, les supports du bracelet sont dissimulés par Celui-ci. Dans ce genre de réalisation, toutefois, il est difficile de faire appel à un axe télescopique du type précité pour assurer le maintien du bracelet.In order to overcome this constraint, the Applicant has proposed, in patent application FR 79 02 743 of February 2, 1979, a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case, in which, in the position of use , that is to say when the watch is placed on the user's wrist, the bracelet supports are concealed by it. In this kind of embodiment, however, it is difficult to use a telescopic axis of the aforementioned type to maintain the bracelet.

La présente invention vise à proposer un dispositif de fixation, utilisable sur ce genre de montre, qui soit également d'un emploi sûr et d'une mise en oeuvre aisée.The present invention aims to provide a fixing device, usable on this kind of watch, which is also safe to use and easy to implement.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de fixation d'une lanière sur un boîtier, comportant au moins un support latéral, un axe lié audit support et autour duquel est enroulée ladite lanière, et un organe démontable lié audit axe de façon amovible, caractérisé en ce que ledit axe est monté coulissant dans ledit support entre deux positions extrêmes, une première position dans laquelle l'organe démontable est appliqué par des moyens élastiques contre ledit support ou contre un élément intercalaire et une seconde position dans laquelle ledit organe démontable est éloigné dudit support ou dudit élément intercalaire à l'encontre desdits moyens élastiques, ledit organe démontable étant fixé sur l'axe de façon telle que, dans la première position, il soit inaccessible et verrouillé sur l'axe et que, dans la seconde position, il soit dégagé de ladite lanière et devienne accessible en vue d'un démontage éventuel.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for fixing a strap on a housing, comprising at least one lateral support, an axis linked to said support and around which said strap is wound, and a removable member. linked to said axis in a removable manner, characterized in that said axis is slidably mounted in said support between two extreme positions, a first position in which the removable member is applied by elastic means against said support or against an intermediate element and a second position in which said removable member is distant from said support or said intermediate element against said elastic means, said removable member being fixed on the axis so that, in the first position, it is inaccessible and locked on the axis and that, in the second position, it is released from said strap and becomes accessible for possible disassembly.

Avec le dispositif conforme à l'invention, deux actions successives sont donc nécessaires pour réaliser le démontage du bracelet: d'une part, déplacer longitudinalement l'axe, afin de rendre accessible ledit organe démontable solidaire de l'axe, et ce à l'encontre des moyens élastiques, d'autre part, démonter ensuite ledit organe. Ce mode de fixation est ainsi d'une grande sécurité, car les chocs, vibrations et autres sollicitations naturelles auxquels le dispositif est soumis au cours de son utilisation normale ne sauraient mettre en oeuvre les deux opérations nécessaires à son démontage.With the device according to the invention, two successive actions are therefore necessary to dismantle the bracelet: on the one hand, move the axis longitudinally, in order to make said removable member secured to the axis accessible, and this at 'against elastic means, on the other hand, then disassemble said member. This method of attachment is therefore very safe, since the shocks, vibrations and other natural stresses to which the device is subjected during normal use cannot carry out the two operations necessary for dismantling it.

Le maintien en butée dudit organe, en position d'utilisation, peut être assuré par le support du bracelet ou par des éléments internes au bracelet. Cependant, dans une réalisation particulièrement intéressante de l'invention, il est assuré par le bracelet lui-même.Maintaining the abutment of said member, in the position of use, can be ensured by the support of the bracelet or by elements internal to the bracelet. However, in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided by the bracelet itself.

Sur les figures 1 à 4, le dispositif suivant l'invention est utilisé pour fixer un bracelet 1 sur un bottier de montre 3.In FIGS. 1 to 4, the device according to the invention is used to attach a strap 1 to a watch case 3.

Dans ce but, celui-ci est muni, sur deux de ses faces latérales opposées, dont une seulement est représentée sur les dessins, d'un support 5.For this purpose, the latter is provided, on two of its opposite lateral faces, only one of which is shown. in the drawings, a support 5.

Le bracelet est enroulé autour de ce support. Dans ce but, il comporte une fente 7 destinée au passage du support.The bracelet is wrapped around this support. For this purpose, it comprises a slot 7 intended for the passage of the support.

Le maintien du bracelet sur le support est assuré par un axe 9 traversant ces deux éléments. Cet axe comporte, à l'une de ses extrémités, un bossage 11 et, à son autre extrémité, une gorge circulaire 13, destinée à recevoir une butée constituée par une rondelle fendue 15, qui est représentée sur la figure 4.The bracelet is held on the support by a pin 9 passing through these two elements. This axis comprises, at one of its ends, a boss 11 and, at its other end, a circular groove 13, intended to receive a stop constituted by a split washer 15, which is shown in FIG. 4.

Un ressort de compression 17 et un manchon 18 sont enfilés sur l'axe, respectivement entre le support 5 et le bossage 11, d'une part, et entre la rondelle fendue 15 et le support 5, d'autre part.A compression spring 17 and a sleeve 18 are threaded on the axis, respectively between the support 5 and the boss 11, on the one hand, and between the split washer 15 and the support 5, on the other hand.

La mise en place du dispositif se fait de la façon suivante: le bracelet 1 étant positionné sur le support 5, on introduit l'axe 9 pourvu du ressort 17 à travers ces deux éléments. Puis on exerce une pression sur l'axe 9 dans le sens de la flèche F, à l'encontre du ressort 17, de façon à dégager du bracelet, vers l'extérieur, la gorge annulaire 13. On peut, dès lors, mettre en place la rondelle fendue 15 dans la gorge. On libère ensuite l'axe 9 et, sous l'action du ressort 17, la rondelle fendue 15 vient en butée sur le manchon 18. Le dispositif se trouve ainsi dans sa position d'utilisation, position dans laquelle la rondelle fendue 15 est maintenue de tous côtés par le bracelet et est donc indémontable. Le bracelet réalise ainsi un véritable verrouillage du dispositif (figure 2).The device is put in place as follows: the bracelet 1 being positioned on the support 5, the pin 9 provided with the spring 17 is introduced through these two elements. Then a pressure is exerted on the axis 9 in the direction of the arrow F, against the spring 17, so as to release the bracelet, outwards, the annular groove 13. It is therefore possible to put in place the split washer 15 in the groove. The axis 9 is then released and, under the action of the spring 17, the split washer 15 abuts on the sleeve 18. The device is thus in its position of use, position in which the split washer 15 is held on all sides by the bracelet and is therefore removable. The bracelet thus realizes a real locking of the device (figure 2).

Pour procéder au démontage du bracelet, il est nécessaire d'exercer une pression sur l'axe 9, afin de dégager la gorge 13 et la rondelle 15 du bracelet 1. On conçoit qu'un tel dispositif de fixation soit particulièrement sûr, car ni de légers chocs, ni les mouvements naturels du bracelet au cours d'utilisation ne sont susceptibles de réaliser un déplacement suffisant de l'axe. Bien entendu, il est possible de remplacer la butée constituée par la rondelle 15 par tout autre dispositif équivalent, tel que, par exemple, une clavette 10 engagée dans une lumière transversale de l'axe 9 (figure 5) ou une vis 12 traversant radialement l'extrémité de l'axe 9 (figure 6).To disassemble the bracelet, it is necessary to exert pressure on the pin 9, in order to release the groove 13 and the washer 15 from the bracelet 1. It will be appreciated that such a fixing device is particularly safe, because neither slight shocks, nor the natural movements of the bracelet during use are likely to achieve sufficient displacement of the axis. Of course, it is possible to replace the stop constituted by the washer 15 by any other equivalent device, such as, for example, a key 10 engaged in a transverse lumen of the axis 9 (Figure 5) or a screw 12 passing radially the end of axis 9 (Figure 6).

On peut également, comme montré à la figure 7, utiliser un manchon 20 en tant que butée. Pour cela, il suffit de le rendre solidaire de l'axe 9, par exemple à l'aide d'une vis 30, disposée en bout de celui-ci.It is also possible, as shown in FIG. 7, to use a sleeve 20 as a stop. For this, it is sufficient to make it integral with the axis 9, for example using a screw 30, disposed at the end thereof.

Par ailleurs, la butée peut être rendue inaccessible, c'est-à-dire verrouillée, en position d'utilisation par un élément autre que le bracelet.Furthermore, the stop can be made inaccessible, that is to say locked, in the position of use by an element other than the bracelet.

Ainsi, dans la forme de réalisation des figures 8 à 10, le manchon 32 est creusé d'un alésage 34, destiné à recevoir un bossage semi-circulaire 36 correspondant, prévu sur la rondelle fendue 38. De cette façon, après mise en place de la rondelle 38 dans une gorge 33 de l'axe 9 et sous l'action du ressort 17, le bossage 36 vient prendre place dans l'alésage 34, lequel, en position d'utilisation, maintient la rondelle 38 et prévient son démontage.Thus, in the embodiment of FIGS. 8 to 10, the sleeve 32 is hollowed out with a bore 34, intended to receive a corresponding semi-circular boss 36, provided on the split washer 38. In this way, after installation of the washer 38 in a groove 33 of the axis 9 and under the action of the spring 17, the boss 36 comes to take place in the bore 34, which, in the position of use, maintains the washer 38 and prevents its dismantling .

Le présent dispositif peut être utilisé pour fixer tout type de lanière sur un boîtier.The present device can be used to fix any type of strap on a housing.

Ainsi, la figure 11 illustre l'application du dispositif conforme à l'invention à la fixation d'une lanière 50 sur une boucle 52 de ceinture.Thus, FIG. 11 illustrates the application of the device according to the invention to the fixing of a strap 50 on a belt loop 52.

Dans ce but, la boucle 52 est pourvue de deux supports latéraux 54 et 56 percés de deux chambres 58 et 60 et d'un alésage 62, destinés à recevoir un axe 64.For this purpose, the loop 52 is provided with two lateral supports 54 and 56 pierced with two chambers 58 and 60 and with a bore 62, intended to receive an axis 64.

La lanière 50 est engagée entre ces deux supports et maintenue en cette position par l'axe 64, autour duquel elle est enroulée. L'a'xe 64 est pourvu à l'une de ses extrémités d'un bossage 66 et, à son autre extrémité, d'un trou radial destiné à recevoir une clavette 68. Un manchon de mousse élastique 69 est disposé entre le bossage 66 et le fond du chambrage 58.The strap 50 is engaged between these two supports and held in this position by the axis 64, around which it is wound. The a 'xe 64 is provided at one of its ends with a boss 66 and at its other end with a radial hole for receiving a pin 68. A sleeve of elastic foam 69 is disposed between the boss 66 and the bottom of the recess 58.

Ce manchon assure la mise en place de l'axe 64 et son maintien dans la position d'utilisation en appliquant la clavette 68 contre le fond du chambrage 60. Dans cette position, le maintien de la clavette et, par conséquent, le verrouillage de l'ensemble, est assuré par le support.This sleeve ensures the establishment of the axis 64 and its maintenance in the position of use by applying the key 68 against the bottom of the recess 60. In this position, the maintenance of the key and, consequently, the locking of all, is provided by the support.

Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 12 l'organe démontable est constitué d'une rondelle fendue 40 venant prendre place dans une gorge 41 d'un axe 43. Elle prend appui contre un manchon 42. Cette rondelle est solidaire d'un disque 44 jouant le rôle de masque de façon à dissimuler aux regards l'extrémité 45 de l'axe 43.In the embodiment of Figure 12 the removable member consists of a split washer 40 coming to take place in a groove 41 of an axis 43. It bears against a sleeve 42. This washer is integral with a disc 44 playing the role of mask so as to conceal from view the end 45 of the axis 43.

En variante, la butée peut aussi, comme montré aux figures 13 et 14, être constituée par un "circlip" 70 venant s'encliqueter dans une rainure circulaire 72 de l'axe 74. L'extrémité 76 de cet axe peut être de forme conique, afin de permettre la mise en place du "circlip", sans qu'il soit besoin de positionner la rainure circulaire hors de la lanière.As a variant, the stop can also, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, be constituted by a "circlip" 70 which snaps into a circular groove 72 of the axis 74. The end 76 of this axis can be of shape conical, to allow the installation of the "circlip", without the need to position the circular groove outside the strap.
