Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bracelet, in particular a watch strap.
  • watch straps which consist of metal such as steel or gold or of a fabric or of leather and of a combination of these substances.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • brackets 1 and 1 ' are divided into individual, articulated members 2 and 2', which alternately consist of gold and steel in the sequence.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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 '.
  • 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.
