Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case comprising a case with a pair of horns fixing the bracelet, and more particularly such a device to interchange the bracelet in a simple way, without tools and without risk of damaging the box and / or bracelet.
- a watch bracelet is usually attached to horns of the watch box by means of bars on which are adapted the strands of the bracelet, the ends of the bars being attached to the horns of the watch box.
- the most used bars are called spring bars and include at their ends two pivots. These pivots are mobile to inside a central tube and are subject to action a spring, also housed inside the tube, and pushing the pivots outwards.
- the horns are provided with corresponding holes in which the pivots bars penetrate. Both horns are parallel and generally spread apart from fifteen to twenty millimeters.
- Such a fastening system of the bracelet on the box shows the disadvantage of requiring in the most cases the intervention of a professional to dismantle the bracelet when it needs to be replaced by another.
- this disassembly operation is carried out with a specialized tool, for example tweezers, which may hurt the watch box.
- This system is therefore not very satisfactory and does not meet the current requirements of the market that requires wrist strap attachments allowing users themselves to easily replace their bracelet by another. For example, we may wish to any time of day adapt the type of his wristwatch according to the circumstances, and therefore easily change oneself bracelet, for example to have a bracelet matching the color of his clothes.
- the main purpose of the invention is thus to remedy disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art in providing a quick fastening device for a bracelet watch, safe and inexpensive, that can be put in easily by the user himself, who adapts to any type of bracelet and that does not harm to the aesthetics of the watch.
- the subject of the invention is a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case having a caseband provided with a pair of horns strap attachment, this device allowing coupling and instantaneous disconnection of a strand from bracelet to middle without tool or knowledge particular or visual control, characterized in that ends of the bracelet is secured to a plate having two pairs of lugs, and cooperating with two pairs of grooves provided in lateral faces of horns.
- the user can easily dismantle or reassemble the bracelet on a box of shows by inserting the pins into the grooves which they are associated and stalling them in the background of these.
- connection points of the bracelet at the watch box are multiplied by two and enable a strong and reliable connection.
- Another advantage of the present device of fixation lies in the fact that it can be indifferently used with soft bracelets, for example in leather or fabric, and with link bracelets metal.
- each pair of grooves includes a straight groove and a angled groove presenting an introductory part rectilinear extended by a party in return.
- the lugs are arranged respectively along the edges longitudinal dimensions of said plate and that the grooves are arranged on the side walls opposite horns.
- FIG 1 is a partial perspective view of a watch case comprising a caseband 2 and a end of a bracelet 1 intended to be attached so articulated on the middle part 2 using the device according to the invention.
- the middle part 2 includes two pairs of horns 2f strap 1, a single pair of these horns 2f being shown in the figure.
- the two pairs of horns 2f are placed in a classical way on the sides opposite of middle 2, at 12 o'clock and at 6 o'clock.
- horns it will be understood in the context of the invention various shaped element for attaching the bracelet 1 to the watch box.
- These 2nd horns can fit the shape general of the middle 2, but not necessarily. We note that fasteners that attach little or no at the middle 2, or reported on the box, are also included in this general definition of horns.
- the holes to the inside of the horns 2f are replaced by two pairs grooves 2a, 2b and 2c, 2d.
- Grooves 2b and 2c are straight / rectilinear and vertical, while the grooves 2a and 2d are bent, thus allowing guiding until the wedging of the bracelet 1.
- the grooves 2a, 2d cubits present an extended rectilinear introduction part by a party in return.
- the grooves 2b, 2c rectilinear are proximal, and the grooves 2a, 2d are distal in relation to the caseband.
- the returns extend to the outside of middle part 2 and that the rectilinear introduction part and the return part preferably form an acute angle between them, typically of the order of 45 °.
- the invention results in a plate 4, preferably rigid and slightly curved, marrying the shape of the wrist and provided with four lugs 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d which will take place in the grooves 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d formed inside the horns 2e, plus precisely on the sidewalls next to these 2nd horns.
- the lugs 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are formed at the free end of the plate 4 and are arranged respectively along the longitudinal edges outside this plate.
- lugs 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d can be made of industrial way in the form of traversing axes, nipples attached by welding, crimping or any other other means, or may be an integral part of the plate 4.
- the plate 4 may be perforated, grooved or dented to facilitate the adaptation of any type of bracelet (leather, metal, plastic, fabric, rubber etc.). Plate 4 being identical for each side of the middle part 2, so it is possible to invert each half-bracelet to meet the needs of right-handed and left-handed people.
- the plates 4 to be preferably rigid, the use any material allowing it is possible.
- a blocking cleat materialized by a ball for example recalled by a spring, a boss or any other mechanical means on caseband 2 or plate 4 can be added.
