Abstract

In order to make the actual strap of a bracelet, in particular of a watch strap, exchangeable for the user, the bracelet has on its front and rear side fasteners (1, 1') which are of U-shaped construction in cross-section and are connected to one another by webs (6). The strap (7), which is preferably constructed as a leather strap, extends with its edge portions in these fasteners, supporting itself with its underside on the webs (6). In this case, the fasteners (1, 1') can be divided into links (2, 2') which are connected to one another in an articulated manner. Additionally, the limbs (4) of the U-shaped fasteners (1, 1'), lying on the outside, can be connected by bearers (32) which bear gems (33). The fasteners (1, 2) are aligned so as to converge towards their ends and thus facilitate the insertion of a strap and its withdrawal when being exchanged for another strap. <IMAGE>

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung bildet ein Armband, insbeson­dere ein Uhrenarmband.The invention relates to a bracelet, in particular a watch strap.

Zum Tragen einer Uhr sind Uhrarmbänder bekannt, die aus Metall wie Stahl oder Gold bestehen oder aus einem Gewebe oder aus Leder sowie aus einer Kombination die­ser Stoffe. In der Regel sind diese Uhrarmbänder so gestaltet, daß ihre äußere Beschaffenheit nicht verän­derbar ist und sich damit nicht wechselnden geschmack­lichen Richtungen nach Bedarf anpassen lassen.To wear a watch, watch straps are known which consist of metal such as steel or gold or of a fabric or of leather and of a combination of these substances. As a rule, these watch straps are designed in such a way that their external properties cannot be changed and thus they cannot be adapted to changing tastes.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Armband, insbeson­dere ein Uhrenarmband zu schaffen, das sich durch die Austauschbarkeit eines wesentlichen, dem äußeren Bild ein kennzeichnendes Gepräge gebenden Bestandteiles un­terschiedlichen Geschmacksrichtungen in Form und Farbe anpassen läßt.The object of the invention is to provide a bracelet, in particular a watch strap, which can be adapted to different tastes in shape and color by the interchangeability of an essential component which gives the external image a characteristic embossing.

Gemäß der Erdindung ist dafür vorgesehen, daß das Arm­band aus an seiner Vorder - und Rückseite im Quer­schnitt U-förmigen und durch Stege miteinander verbun­denen Halterungen für ein auswechselbar angeordnetes Lederband besteht, das sich mit seinen Randabschnitten in die U-förmigen Halterungen erstreckt und sich mit seiner Unterseite auf den Stegen abstützt.According to the earth connection, it is provided that the bracelet consists of on its front and back in cross-section U-shaped and interconnected brackets for an interchangeably arranged leather strap, which extends with its edge portions in the U-shaped brackets and extends with supports its underside on the webs.

Eine derartige Ausbildung eines Armbandes erlaubt es auch einem technisch oder handwerklich nicht besonders erfahrenen Träger des Armbandes ein ursprünglich vor­handenes Lederband gegen ein anderes, äußerlich sich in der Farbe, Form oder im Material unterscheidendes Band auszutauschen, um veränderten Moderichtungen nachkommen zu können oder sich in der Art der Darstel­lung besonderen Ereignissen, Vorkommnissen oder ge­sellschaftlichen Veranstaltungen anpassen zu können. Dieses bietet sich durch die Möglichkeit, ein Leder­band einer vorgegebenen Farbe gegen das einer anderen Farbe auszutauschen wie auch ein Band beispielsweise aus Nappaleder beispielsweise gegen eines aus Kroko­dilleder oder einer anderen Oberflächenstruktur auszu­tauschen, darüber hinaus aber auch gegen ein anderes Band beispielslweise aus silber oder Gold bzw. ein Band aus einem anderen Material als Leder. Dabei kann das Armband auch in der Art eines festen Armreifens ausge­bildet sein, der offen ist oder zu öffnen ist, um das auszutauschende Band von einem Ende her einzuschieben.Such a design of a bracelet also allows a technically or technically not very experienced wearer of the bracelet to exchange an originally existing leather strap for another strap that differs in color, shape or material, in order to be able to comply with changed fashion trends or in the To be able to adapt the type of presentation to special events, occurrences or social events. This is possible due to the possibility of exchanging a leather strap of a given color for that of another color, as well as exchanging a strap made of nappa leather for example against one made of crocodile leather or another surface structure, but also for another strap made of silver or gold or a band made of a material other than leather. The bracelet can also be designed in the manner of a solid bangle that is open or can be opened in order to insert the band to be replaced from one end.

Handelt es sich um ein Uhrenarmband, so ist es zweck­mäßig, wenn dieses in Glieder unterteilt ist, damit es durch seine Flexibilität rund um das Handgelenk he­rum fest anliegen kann. Dafür sieht die Erfindung vor, daß die vorgenannten Halterungen in Glieder unterteilt sind, die gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Gelenke vorzugsweise aus Laschen bestehen, die auf der Innenseite der Mittelstege zweier benachbarter Glieder mit ihren beiden Enden angenietet sind.If it is a watch strap, it is advisable to divide it into links so that its flexibility allows it to fit tightly around the wrist. For this purpose, the invention provides that the above-mentioned holders are divided into links which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, wherein the joints preferably consist of tabs which are riveted to the inside of the central webs of two adjacent links with their two ends.

Die auf der Außenseite liegenden Schenkel der U-förmi­gen Halterungen können dabei Ansätze tragen, die als zusätzliche Halterungen für das auswechselbare Leder­band bzw. Abstützungen desselben wirksam sind und zu einer vorteilhaften dekorativen Wirkung beitragen.The legs of the U-shaped brackets lying on the outside can carry lugs which are effective as additional brackets for the exchangeable leather strap or supports thereof and which contribute to an advantageous decorative effect.

Stattdessen oder zusätzlich können die auf der Außen­seite liegenden Schenkel der U-förmigen Halterungen durch Träger miteinander verbunden sein, die im Ab­stand zueinander stehen und geeignet sind, neben einer Führung des Lederbandes als Träger einer oder mehrerer Schmucksteine zu wirken, durch welche die gesamte Aufmachung des Armbandes gesteigert wird.Instead or in addition, the legs of the U-shaped brackets lying on the outside can be connected to one another by carriers which are at a distance from one another and are suitable to act as a carrier of one or more gemstones in addition to guiding the leather strap, through which the entire presentation of the Bracelet is increased.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung bilden Gegenstand der Unteransprüche und sind nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf eine Zeichnung an Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

  • Figur 2: einen Querschnitt durch das Band der Figur 1;
  • Figur 3: eine Seitanansicht von zwei benachbarten Gliedern;
  • Figur 4: Einzelteile des Endabschnittes eines Armban­des;
  • Figur 5: die Teildraufsicht auf ein Uhrenarmband und
  • Figur 6: ein Armreif in perspektivischer Darstellung.
Further features of the invention form the subject matter of the subclaims and are explained below with reference to a drawing of exemplary embodiments. The drawing shows:
  • Figure 1: the partial section of an articulated watch strap in a perspective view;
  • Figure 2 shows a cross section through the tape of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a side view of two adjacent links;
  • Figure 4: Individual parts of the end portion of a bracelet;
  • Figure 5: the partial top view of a watch band and
  • Figure 6: a bangle in perspective.

Das in den Figuren 1 bis 5 wiedergegebene Uhrenarmband besteht aus zwei Halterungen 1 und 1′, von denen die vornliegende Halterung 1 an der Randseite liegt, die der Hand des Trägers zugewandt ist, während die hin­tere Halterung 1′ auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite liegt.The shown in Figures 1 to 5 watch band consists of two brackets 1 and 1 ', of which the front bracket 1 is on the edge side, which faces the hand of the wearer, while the rear bracket 1' is on the opposite side.

Die Halterungen 1 und 1′ sind in einzelne, gelenkig miteinander verbundene Glieder 2 und 2′ unterteilt, die in der Aufeinanderfolge abwechselnd aus Gold und Stahl bestehen.The brackets 1 and 1 'are divided into individual, articulated members 2 and 2', which alternately consist of gold and steel in the sequence.

Die einzelnen Glieder 2 und 2′ sind im Querschnitt U-­förmig gestaltet, wobei der beim Tragen des Armbandes außenliegende Schenkel 4 jedes Gliedes über den Mit­telsteg 3 mit dem innen am Arm anliegenden Innenschen­kel 5 unter Freilassung eines Abstandes für die Auf­nahme eines Lederbandes 7 verbunden ist.The individual links 2 and 2 'are U-shaped in cross-section, the outer leg 4 when wearing the bracelet of each link is connected via the central web 3 with the inner leg 5 lying against the inside of the arm, leaving a clearance for the inclusion of a leather strap 7 .

Für die Einhaltung eines vorgegebenen Abstandes zwi­schen den Halterungen 1 und 1′ sind Stege 6 vorgese­hen, welche im Abstand zueinander stehend, die Innen­schenkel 5 einzelner Glieder 2 und 2′ miteinander verbinden. Diese Stege 6 sind von unterschiedlicher Länge insoweit, als dadurch ein konvergenter Verlauf der Halterungen 1 und 1′ in Richtung auf den Verschluß 11 des Armbandes gegeben ist, der den Einschub eines Lederbandes 7 von der dem Verschluß 11 abgewandten Seite her erleichtert.To maintain a predetermined distance between the brackets 1 and 1 'webs 6 are provided, which are at a distance from each other, the inner legs 5 of individual links 2 and 2' interconnect. These webs 6 are of different lengths insofar as there is a convergent course of the brackets 1 and 1 'towards the closure 11 of the bracelet, which facilitates the insertion of a leather strap 7 from the side facing away from the closure 11.

Die einzelnen Glieder 2 und 2′ sind jeweils durch zwei Glieder verbindende Laschen 8 miteinander gelenkig verbunden, welche durch Nieten 9 und 9′ (Figur 3) auf der Innenseite der Mittelstege 3 an ihren Enden dreh­beweglich gehalten sind.The individual links 2 and 2 'are each articulated by two links connecting tabs 8, which are rotatably held at their ends by rivets 9 and 9' (Figure 3) on the inside of the central webs 3.

Die an den als eine sogenannte Doppelfaltschließe aus­gebildeten Verschluß 11 angrenzenden Glieder 2 bzw. 2′ sind jeweils mit einer von außen her zugänglichen Schraube 10 bzw. 10′ versehen, um diese Glieder vom Armband ablösen zu können und dadurch das Armband zu verkürzen, wenn derartiges durch die spezielle Größe des Handgelenkes vom Träger als Anpassung zweckmäßig erscheint.The adjacent to the formed as a so-called double folding clasp 11 links 2 and 2 'are each provided with an externally accessible screw 10 and 10' to detach these links from the bracelet and thereby the bracelet shorten if such appears appropriate due to the special size of the wrist of the wearer as an adjustment.

Der Verschluß 11 besteht aus drei Bügeln 12, 13 und 14, die jeweils durch Drehgelenke 15 miteinander sowie den beiden Enden der zwei Armbandhälften in bekannter Art und Weise verbunden sind.The closure 11 consists of three brackets 12, 13 and 14, each of which is connected in a known manner by means of rotary joints 15 to one another and to the two ends of the two bracelet halves.

Die anderenends angeordneten Glieder 2 und 2′ der Hal­terungen sind mit Durchstecköffnungen 20 und 20′ ver­sehen für einen Federstift 18, der sich durch eine am Ende des Lederbandes 7 angeordnete Schlaufe 17 er­streckt und mit seinen freistehenden Endzapfen 19 an den Armen 31 einer Uhr 30 lösbar zu befestigen ist.The other ends arranged links 2 and 2 'of the brackets are provided with push-through openings 20 and 20' for a spring pin 18 which extends through a loop 17 arranged at the end of the leather band 7 and with its free-standing end pins 19 on the arms 31 of a clock 30 releasable to be fastened.

Für die Herstellung dieser Verbindung wird entspre­chend Figur 4 das Lederband 7 soweit zwischen die bei­den Halterungen 2 und 2′ in der Richtung des Pfeiles 22 eingeschoben, bis die Schlaufe 17 zwischen den Durchstecköffnungen 20 und 20′ liegt. Danach kann der Federstift 18 durch die Öffnungen 20, die Schlaufe 17 und die Öffnung 21 durchfgesteckt werden, um anschlie­ßend mit seinen frei vorstehenden und unter dem Druck von einer nicht dargestellten Feder stehenden Zapfen 19 in Sacklöchern der Arme 31 der Uhr 30 verankert zu werden.To produce this connection, the leather strap 7 is inserted as far as between the two brackets 2 and 2 'in the direction of arrow 22 until the loop 17 lies between the through openings 20 and 20'. The spring pin 18 can then be pushed through the openings 20, the loop 17 and the opening 21, in order to then be anchored in blind holes in the arms 31 of the watch 30 with its freely projecting pins 19 which are under pressure from a spring (not shown).

Das Band 7, das im Austausch angeordnet beispielsweise auch aus einem Goldgewebe bestehen kann oder einem an­deren Material als Leder, wird auf seiner Innenseite abgestützt durch die Stege 6 und kann auf seiner Au­ßenseite durch zusätzlich vorgesehene Träger 32 gehal­ten werden oder nur durch vorstehende Ansätze 28, die geeignet sind für die Aufnahme von Schmucksteinen 33 wie beispielsweise Edelsteinen oder Diamanten als wei­tere geschmackvolle Ausgestaltung des Armbandes, wobei nicht ausgeschlossen ist, daß derartige Edelsteine auch unmittelbar auf den Gliedern 2 bzw. 2′ angeordnet sein können.The tape 7, which is arranged in exchange for example can also consist of a gold mesh or a material other than leather, is supported on its inside by the webs 6 and can be held on its outside by additionally provided supports 32 or only by protruding projections 28 which are suitable for receiving gemstones 33 such as gemstones or diamonds as a further tasteful design of the bracelet, although it is not excluded that such gemstones can also be arranged directly on the links 2 or 2 '.

In Abweichung der vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsform zeigt die Figur 6 nicht ein Uhrenarmband, sondern ei­nen offenen Armreif 35, dessen Haslterungen nicht in Einzelglieder unterteilt sind, jedoch ebenfalls von im Querschnitt U-förmigem Profil sind und durch Träger 32 und Stege 6 miteinander verbunden sind für die Hal­terung und Führung eines auswechselbar angeordneten Bandes 7.In a departure from the above-described embodiment, FIG. 6 does not show a watch strap, but an open bangle 35, the bracelets of which are not divided into individual links, but are also of U-shaped profile in cross section and are connected to one another by brackets 32 and webs 6 for the holder and guiding an interchangeably arranged band 7.
