Description

La présente invention a pour objet une barrette pour montre-bracelet, soit pour la fixation du bracelet à la boîte, soit pour la liaison de deux éléments du bracelet entre eux, comprenant un corps cylindrique aux extrémités duquel sont montés deux éléments cylindriques déplaçables axialement dans le corps cylindrique et destinés à s'engager dans des trous de cornes ou entre les joues d'un maillon de bracelet.The subject of the present invention is a bar for a wristwatch, either for fixing the bracelet to the box, or for connecting two elements of the bracelet to each other, comprising a cylindrical body at the ends of which are mounted two cylindrical elements axially displaceable in the cylindrical body and intended to engage in horn holes or between the cheeks of a bracelet link.

On connaît depuis longtemps des barrettes aux extrémités télescopiques, dites barrettes à ressort, constituées d'un corps cylindrique tubulaire contenant un ressort travaillant en compression et maintenant écartés deux pivots cylindriques logés dans des trous cylindriques des cornes des boites de montre. Ces barrettes ont l'avantage de pouvoir être introduites entrer les cornes en repoussant les pivots dans le corps tubulaire, ces pivots venant automatiquement se loger dans les trous cylindriques des cornes lorsqu'ils arrivent en face de ceux-ci. De telles barrettes ne sont pas verrouillées axialement.Bars with telescopic ends, known as spring bars, have been known for a long time, constituted by a tubular cylindrical body containing a spring working in compression and now separated by two cylindrical pivots housed in cylindrical holes in the horns of watch cases. These bars have the advantage of being able to be introduced to enter the horns by pushing the pivots into the tubular body, these pivots coming automatically to be housed in the cylindrical holes of the horns when arrive in front of these. Such bars are not locked axially.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser une barrette verrouilable axialement, de telle sorte qu'une fois mise en place, elle ne peut pas être démontée par une compression axiale, le ressort de compression pouvant par conséquent être supprimé.The object of the present invention is to produce an axially lockable bar, so that once it has been put in place, it cannot be removed by axial compression, the compression spring therefore being able to be eliminated.

La barrette selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que lesdits éléments cylindriques présentent une partie filetée destinée à assurer le verrouillage axial de la barrette par rotation des éléments cylindriques relativement audit corps, leurs extrémités extérieures étant conformées pour pouvoir être entraînées en rotation par un tourne-vis.The bar according to the invention is characterized in that said cylindrical elements have a threaded part intended to ensure the axial locking of the bar by rotation of the cylindrical elements relative to said body, their outer ends being shaped so that they can be driven in rotation by a screwdriver.

Les partie filetées peuvent être situées soit à l'extérieur, soit à l'intérieur du corps cylindrique de la barrette.The threaded parts can be located either outside or inside the cylindrical body of the bar.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, quatres formes d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, four embodiments of the invention.

  • La figure 1 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'une première forme d'exécution.Figure 1 is a partially sectional view of a first embodiment.
  • La figure 2 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'une deuxième forme d'exécution.Figure 2 is a partially sectional view of a second embodiment.
  • La figure 3 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'une troisième forme d'exécution.Figure 3 is a partially sectional view of a third embodiment.
  • La figure 4 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'une quatrième forme d'exécution.Figure 4 is a partially sectional view of a fourth embodiment.
  • La figure 5 est une vue axiale selon la direction A de cette quatrième forme d'exécution.Figure 5 is an axial view in direction A of this fourth embodiment.

La barrette représentée à la figure 1 comprend un tube cylindrique 1 contenant un ressort hélicoïdal 2 travaillant en compression et maintenant écartés l'un de l'autre deux éléments cylindriques 3 et 4 retenus en butée contre les extrémités du tube 1 par un sertissage 5. Le guidage des éléments cylindriques 3 et 4 à l'intérieur du tube 1 est assuré par un prolongement tubulaire cylindrique 6 de ces éléments. Les éléments cylindriques 3 et 4 présentent une première partie cylindrique lisse 7, respectivement 8 et une partie filetée 9, respectivement 10, de diamètre inférieur aux parties 7 et 8. Les extrémités de ces parties filetées 9 et 10 sont munies d'une fente de vis 11, respectivement 12. Pour son montage entre par exemple les deux cornes 13 et 14 d'une boite de montre munie de trous taraudés, les éléments cylindriques 3 et 4 sont tout d'abord repoussés à l'intérieur du tube 1, comme pour une barrette à ressort usuelle, pour pouvoir introduire la barrette entre les cornes 13 et 14. Une fois en face des trous de cornes, les éléments 3 et 4 sont vissés dans les trous de cornes au moyen d'un tourne-vis. Les parties cylindriques 7 et 8 peuvent soit être engagées dans une partie lisse des trous de barrette, soit venir en butée contre la face extérieure d'une corne plus étroite que représentée.The bar shown in FIG. 1 comprises a cylindrical tube 1 containing a helical spring 2 working in compression and now separated from each other two cylindrical elements 3 and 4 retained in abutment against the ends of the tube 1 by a crimping 5. The guiding of the cylindrical elements 3 and 4 inside the tube 1 is ensured by a cylindrical tubular extension 6 of these elements. The cylindrical elements 3 and 4 have a first smooth cylindrical part 7, respectively 8 and a threaded part 9, respectively 10, of diameter smaller than the parts 7 and 8. The ends of these threaded parts 9 and 10 are provided with a slot screws 11, respectively 12. For its mounting between for example the two horns 13 and 14 of a watch case provided with threaded holes, the cylindrical elements 3 and 4 are first pushed inside the tube 1, as for a usual spring bar, to be able to insert the bar between the horns 13 and 14. Once opposite the horn holes, the elements 3 and 4 are screwed into the horn holes by means of a screwdriver. The cylindrical parts 7 and 8 can either be engaged in a smooth part of the bar holes, or come into abutment against the outer face of a narrower horn than shown.

La figure 2 représente une variante d'exécution de la figure 1 dans laquelle les éléments cylindriques sont filetés sur toute leur longueur dépassant le tube 1. La figure 3 représente une barrette constituée d'un tube 15 taraudé dans lequel sont vissé deux éléments cylindriques 16 et 17 par une partie filetée 18. La partie dépassante 19, respectivement 20, des éléments cylindriques 16 et 17 est lisse et de diamètre inférieur à la partie filetée 18. Cette barrette sans ressort peut être montée à la place d'une barrette à ressort usuelle entre deux cornes usuelles 21 et 22. A cet effet, on escamote tout d'abord les éléments cylindriques 16 et 17 en les vissant à l'intérieur du tube 15, puis on dispose la barrette entre les cornes 21 et 22 et on dévisse les éléments 16 et 17 au moyen d'un tourne-vis de manière à faire pénétrer leur partie cylindrique lisse 19, respectivement 20 dans les trous de corne.FIG. 2 represents an alternative embodiment of FIG. 1 in which the cylindrical elements are threaded over their entire length exceeding the tube 1. FIG. 3 represents a bar made up of a threaded tube 15 into which two cylindrical elements 16 and 17 are screwed by a threaded part 18. The protruding part 19, respectively 20, of the cylindrical elements 16 and 17 is smooth and of diameter less than the threaded part 18. This springless bar can be mounted in place of a usual spring bar between two usual horns 21 and 22. For this purpose, the cylindrical elements 16 and 17 are first retracted by screwing them in. inside the tube 15, then the bar is placed between the horns 21 and 22 and the elements 16 and 17 are unscrewed by means of a screwdriver so as to penetrate their smooth cylindrical part 19, respectively 20 into the holes horn.

Dans les trois exécutions décrites ci-dessus, il est possible de dimensionner les éléments cylindriques de la barrette de telle sorte que la fente de vis puisse être située entièrement en dehors des cornes de telle sorte que l'on peut enlever l'extrémité dépassante et avec elle les fentes de vis, par exemple par émerisage, de manière à condamner la barrette en faisant simultanément disparaître la fente de vis et en polissant l'extrémité des barrettes.In the three embodiments described above, it is possible to size the cylindrical elements of the bar so that the screw slot can be located entirely outside the horns so that the protruding end can be removed and with it the screw slots, for example by emery coating, so as to condemn the bar by simultaneously making the screw slot disappear and by polishing the end of the bars.

Les figures 4 et 5 représentent une quatrième forme d'exécution qui peut être considérée comme une variante de la première forme d'exécution. On retrouve une tube 1 abritant un ressort 2 qui maintient écarté deux éléments cylindriques 23 et 24 munis chacun d'une extrémité intérieure en forme de piston 25 capable de coulisser dans le tube 1. Les éléments cylindriques sont munis chacun d'une tête cylindrique filetée 26, respectivement 27, reliée au piston intérieur 25 par une partie cylindrique lisse 28, respectivement 29, de diamètre sensiblement inférieur au diamètre des têtes 26 et 27, par exemple égal à la moitié du diamètre de ces têtes, et d'une longueur telle qu'à l'état libre, la distance entre chacune des têtes et l'extrémité correspondante du tube 1 est supérieure à l'épaisseur des cornes 30 et 31 destinée à recevoir cette barrette. Chacune de ces cornes présente un trou taraudé 32 communiquant radialement avec une fente radiale 33 de largeur juste suffisante pour laisser librement passage à la partie cylindrique 28, respectivement 29 de la barrette.Figures 4 and 5 show a fourth embodiment which can be considered as a variant of the first embodiment. There is a tube 1 housing a spring 2 which keeps apart two cylindrical elements 23 and 24 each provided with an inner end in the shape of a piston 25 capable of sliding in the tube 1. The cylindrical elements are each provided with a threaded cylindrical head 26, respectively 27, connected to the internal piston 25 by a smooth cylindrical part 28, respectively 29, of diameter substantially less than the diameter of the heads 26 and 27, for example equal to half the diameter of these heads, and of a length such that in the free state, the distance between each of the heads and the corresponding end of the tube 1 is greater than the thickness of the horns 30 and 31 intended to receive this bar. Each of these horns has a tapped hole 32 communicating radially with a radial slot 33 of width just sufficient to allow free passage to the cylindrical part 28, respectively 29 of the bar.

Pour fixer cette barrette aux cornes 30 et 31, on introduit tout d'abord cette barrette dans les fentes 33, par les parties cylindriques 28 et 29, c'est-à-dire sans comprimer le ressort 2. Cette position est représentée dans la partie gauche de la figure 4. Il suffit ensuite de visser les têtes 26 et 27 dans les trous 32 pour fixer et verrouiller axialement la barrette. Cette position finale est représentée dans la partie droite de la figure 4.To fix this bar to the horns 30 and 31, this bar is first introduced into the slots 33, by the cylindrical parts 28 and 29, that is to say without compressing the spring 2. This position is shown in the left part of FIG. 4. It then suffices to screw the heads 26 and 27 into the holes 32 to fix and axially lock the bar. This final position is shown on the right side of Figure 4.

Dans la description ci-dessus, il a toujours été question de cornes, mais il est clair qu'il pourrait s'agir d'autres éléments de la montre bracelet, tels que des maillons de bracelet ou d'un fermoir.In the description above, it has always been a question of horns, but it is clear that it could be other elements of the wristwatch, such as bracelet links or a clasp.
