Elle concerne plus précisément une bande métallique souple formée d'une pluralité d'éléments identiques, de section hexagonale, arrangés côte à côte et reliés entre eux par des dispositifs de liaison. US-A-4 914 930 divulgue une telle bande.It relates more precisely to a flexible metal strip formed of a plurality of identical elements, of hexagonal section, arranged side by side and interconnected by connecting devices. US-A-4,914,930 discloses such a tape.
Chaque élément peut comporter sur sa face supérieure un chaton dans lequel s'enchâsse une gemme, mais l'invention ne se limite pas à une bande métallique de ce type.Each element can have on its upper face a kitten in which a gem is set, but the invention is not not limit to a metal strip of this type.
Selon l'invention la bande est caractérisée par le fait que chaque élément est constitué d'une pièce inférieure, et d'une pièce supérieure disposée au-dessus de la pièce inférieure et liée à cette dernière par sertissage, la pièce supérieure étant annulaire et entourant un manchon qui s'étend axialement à partir de la face supérieure de la pièce inférieure et qui sert au sertissage de la pièce supérieure et par le fait que chaque dispositif de liaison est constitué par un anneau de forme triangulaire qui lie entre eux trois éléments adjacents, ledit anneau logeant dans des rainures ménagées dans les faces supérieures des pièces inférieures desdits trois éléments.According to the invention, the strip is characterized in that each element consists of a lower part, and an upper part arranged above the lower part and linked to the latter by crimping, the upper part being annular and surrounding a sleeve which extends axially from the upper face of the lower part and which is used for crimping the upper part and by the fact that each connecting device is constituted by a ring of triangular shape which links together three adjacent elements, said ring housed in grooves in the upper faces lower parts of said three elements.
Avantageusement, la pièce inférieure est annulaire et présente un trou traversant dans l'axe du manchon ; les rainures s'étendent radialement à partir dudit trou traversant et le manchon comporte des fentes axiales au droit des rainures. La pièce inférieure comporte six rainures perpendiculaires respectivement aux six faces latérales de la pièce inférieure.Advantageously, the lower part is annular and has a through hole in the axis of the sleeve; the grooves extend radially from said through hole and the sleeve has axial slots in line with the grooves. The bottom room has six grooves perpendicular respectively to the six lateral faces of the lower part.
La pièce supérieure peut comporter sur sa face supérieure des moyens de fixation d'une gemme. Lesdits moyens de fixation sont constitués avantageusement par des griffes formées aux extrémités de trois lamelles qui s'étendent axialement à partir de la pièce supérieure. The upper part may have on its upper face means for fixing a gem. Said fixing means are advantageously constituted by claws formed at the ends of three strips which extend axially from the upper part.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront
à la lecture de la description suivante faite à titre d'exemple et non
limitatif et en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
Le dessin montre une bande métallique souple 1 qui est équipée
sur sa face supérieure 2 d'une pluralité de gemmes 3, à section
hexagonale, arrangées côte à côte et dont les bords 4 se touchent deux
par deux. La culasse 5 de chaque gemme 3 présente des rainures
horizontales 6 dans lesquelles pénètrent des griffes 7 solidaires de la
bande métallique 1.The drawing shows a flexible metal strip 1 which is fitted
on its
La bande métallique souple 1 est réalisée par une pluralité
d'éléments de bande 10, de section hexagonale, reliés entre eux par
des dispositifs de fixation 11. The flexible metal strip 1 is produced by a
Chaque élément de bande 10 a une section hexagonale
légèrement inférieure 10 à la section hexagonale d'une gemme 3, et
est disposé sous une gemme 3, ce qui assure une souplesse à la bande
1.Each
Chaque élément de bande 10 est constitué d'une pièce
inférieure 12 représentée sur les figures 3 à 5 et d'une pièce supérieure
14 représentée sur les figures 6 à 8, toutes deux de section
hexagonale. La pièce supérieure 14 est disposée au-dessus de la pièce
inférieure 12, sa face supérieure 15 étant au contact de la face
supérieure 16 de la pièce inférieure 12. La pièce supérieure 14 est
annulaire et elle entoure un manchon 17 qui s'étend axialement à
partir de la face supérieure 16 de la pièce inférieure 12. La hauteur du
manchon 17 est supérieure à l'épaisseur de la pièce supérieure 14, afin
de permettre la fixation de la pièce supérieure 14 sur la pièce
inférieure 12 par sertissage, en déformant plastiquement l'extrémité
18 du manchon 17 vers l'extérieur, ainsi que cela est représenté sur la
figure 2.Each
Ainsi que cela est montré sur les figures 3 à 5, la pièce
inférieure 12 est également annulaire et elle présente un trou
traversant 20 qui prolonge la cavité interne du manchon 17. Six
rainures axiales 21 perpendiculaires aux six faces latérales 22 de la
pièce inférieure 12 sont ménagées dans la face supérieure 16 de la
pièce inférieure 12. Ces rainures 21 s'étendent entre le trou traversant
20 et les faces latérales 22. Le manchon 17 comporte 6 fentes 23 au
droit des rainures 21.As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the part
lower 12 is also annular and has a hole

Les dispositifs de fixation 11 sont constitués par des anneaux
fermés, de forme globalement triangulaire avec des sommets 25
arrondis, qui logent dans des rainures 21 de trois pièces inférieures 12
adjacentes. La longueur de chaque côté de cet anneau 11 est adaptée
de telle manière que les sommets arrondis 25 logent dans les trous
traversants 20 des pièces inférieures 12 adjacentes.The fastening
Le montage de la bande 1 se fait de la manière suivante : on
arrange des pièces inférieures 12 côte à côte sur un plan de travail,
ainsi que cela est montré sur la figure 9 ; puis on dispose les anneaux
11 dans les rainures 21 en les faisant passer par les fentes 23 des
manchons 17 ; ensuite on dispose les pièces supérieures 14 sur les
pièces inférieures 12 et on déforme les extrémités 18 des manchons
17 par sertissage.The mounting of the strip 1 is done as follows:
arranges
Avantageusement la pièce supérieure 14 présente sur sa face
supérieure 26 trois lamelles 27 qui s'étendent axialement à partir de
trois bords alternés 28 et qui comportent à leurs extrémités
supérieures les griffes 7 destinées à pénétrer dans les rainures 6
formées dans la culasse 5 d'une gemme 3.Advantageously the
Ainsi qu'on le voit sur la figure 10, les pièces supérieures 14
sont disposées au montage sur les pièces inférieures 12, de telle
manière qu'une lamelle quelconque 27 d'une pièce supérieure 14 est
disposée entre des lamelles des pièces supérieures adjacentes.As seen in Figure 10, the
La bande métallique 1 est ainsi réalisée à partir de trois pièces
différentes. Toutes les pièces inférieures 12 sont identiques. Il en est
de même des pièces supérieures 14 et et des anneaux de liaison (11).
Les pièces supérieures 14 et les pièces inférieures 12 sont réalisées de
manière connue à l'aide de machines-outils à commande numérique
qui permettent d'obtenir les précisions d'usinage souhaitées.The metal strip 1 is thus produced from three pieces
different. All the
