Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bracelet, in particular a watch, as well as a method of assembling the latter. It relates more particularly to a bracelet composed of a series of substantially rectangular links, articulated with respect to each other, each link, of length equal to the width of the bracelet, consisting of a base provided with two grooves communicating with the exterior by lateral openings made along the long sides, as well as a piece of trim surmounting the base, and connecting members arranged between the links allowing them to pivot, each connecting member being formed of two substantially cylindrical parts , joined by a deformable membrane, the cylindrical parts being placed in the grooves of two adjacent links to make them integral by means of the membrane, this membrane passing from one link to the other through the lateral openings.
- the present invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks by making a bracelet of simple construction having joints which do not take up any play.
- the bracelet according to the invention is particularly remarkable in that the connecting members are made of synthetic material.
- the bracelet according to the invention lends itself to a rapid and economical assembly process which consists in introducing each cylindrical part of a connecting member into a groove of a link, to exert pressure on the ends of the links to permanently deform each groove and firmly pinch the cylindrical part of the connecting member, and to make integral the trim piece of the base of the link to the using fixing means.
- the bracelet according to the invention is composed of a number of links referenced 1, arranged one after the other in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet.
- all the links are identical, the width of a link being measured in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet.
- the length of the links which is equal to the width of the bracelet, can advantageously decrease progressively from its attachment points, for example with the case of a watch, up to the loop.
- Each link is formed of a base 2, having the shape of a thin plate, and of a piece of trim 3, fixed in an opening 4 of the base on the outside, or visible side, of the bracelet.
- the base ensuring the bracelet its solidity, can advantageously be made of steel or brass, while a noble metal, see wood or leather, can be used to make the trim, the role of which is purely decorative.
- the trim piece 3 is made integral with the base 2 using, for example, a layer of glue, screws, rivets or else by crimping.
- a link corresponding to the long sides of the base 2
- the section of the grooves can be, for example, circular or rectangular.
- the grooves 5 and 5 ' open outwards through narrow lateral openings 6 and 6', formed in the longitudinal edges of the base 2, parallel to these grooves.
- This member is formed of two substantially cylindrical parts 10 and 10 ', of the same shape as the grooves 5 and 5', which are connected together by a membrane 11 having a thickness less than the height of the slots 6 and 6 'of the base 2.
- the section of the cylindrical parts is slightly smaller than that of the grooves so that the cylindrical part 10 can be introduced without effort into the groove 5 and the part 10 ′ in the groove 5 ′, the membrane 11 then passing through the lateral openings 6 and 6 '.
- the cylindrical parts having a diameter su lower than the height of the slots, the bracelet resists a tensile force thanks to the membranes 11 which connect one link to the next.
- the lateral fixing of the connecting member 9 in the base 2 is obtained by firmly pinching the cylindrical parts 10, 10 'in the grooves 5, 5'. This is achieved by applying pressure to the ends of each base directed perpendicular to its main face in order to permanently deform the grooves and reduce their section. Of course this deformation can be very local, such as, for example, that left by a pointed tool, or even by screws.
- the connecting members 9 are made of synthetic material in the present invention.
- the bracelet can only follow the shape of the wrist thanks to the elasticity of the membranes 11.
- a space 12 is provided between two consecutive links on the inside of the bracelet, which side comes into contact with the wrist.
- the connecting members 9 can advantageously be made of a synthetic material reinforced with glass fibers or metallic wires.
- the parts in contact are fixed with respect to each other, it has no play and is not subject to any wear by friction while having sufficient flexibility to take the shape of the wrist .
- the connecting members of the bracelet which has just been described are perfectly visible when the bracelet is seen in profile. They can then be considered as decorative elements making it possible to personalize the bracelet, all the better since it is possible to choose the color of the synthetic material used.
- the edge of the bracelet may have a plain appearance.
- trim pieces 3 having lateral flanges.
- Such a part is shown in perspective in fig. 4. It can be seen that it comprises a central body 15 and two lateral flanges 16 and 16 ′ having the shape of the profile of a link. By placing the central body 15 of the trim piece in the opening 4 of the base 2, the flanges 16, 16 ′ then completely cover the sides of the links.
