Description

La présente invention concerne des bandes métalliques souples utilisées dans la bijouterie ou la joaillerie pour réaliser des bracelets ou des colliers, par exemple des bracelets ou des colliers qui présentent sur leur face visible une pluralité de gemmes de section hexagonale arrangées côte à côte, et enchâssées dans les chatons par des sertis invisibles.The present invention relates to flexible metal bands used in jewelry to make bracelets or necklaces, for example bracelets or necklaces which have a plurality of section gems on their visible face hexagonal arranged side by side, and embedded in the kittens by invisible seams.

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.

    • 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 upper face 2 of a plurality of gems 3, in section hexagonal, arranged side by side and whose edges 4 touch two by two. The cylinder head 5 of each gem 3 has grooves horizontal 6 into which claws 7 integral with the metal strip 1.

    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 plurality strip elements 10, of hexagonal section, interconnected by fixing devices 11.

    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 strip element 10 has a hexagonal section slightly less than 10 the hexagonal section of a gem 3, and is placed under a gem 3, which provides flexibility to the band 1.

    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 strip element 10 consists of a piece lower 12 shown in Figures 3 to 5 and an upper part 14 shown in Figures 6 to 8, both of section hexagonal. The upper part 14 is arranged above the part lower 12, its upper face 15 being in contact with the face upper 16 of the lower part 12. The upper part 14 is annular and it surrounds a sleeve 17 which extends axially to from the upper face 16 of the lower part 12. The height of the sleeve 17 is greater than the thickness of the upper part 14, so to allow the attachment of the upper part 14 on the part lower 12 by crimping, by plastically deforming the end 18 of the sleeve 17 outward, as shown in the figure 2.

    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 through 20 which extends the internal cavity of the sleeve 17. Six axial grooves 21 perpendicular to the six lateral faces 22 of the lower part 12 are formed in the upper face 16 of the lower part 12. These grooves 21 extend between the through hole 20 and the side faces 22. The sleeve 17 has 6 slots 23 at the right of the grooves 21.

    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 devices 11 consist of rings closed, generally triangular in shape with vertices 25 rounded, which are housed in grooves 21 of three lower parts 12 adjacent. The length of each side of this ring 11 is adapted so that the rounded tops 25 fit into the holes through 20 of the lower parts 12 adjacent.

    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 lower parts 12 side by side on a work surface, as shown in Figure 9; then we put the rings 11 in the grooves 21 by passing them through the slots 23 of the sleeves 17; then we place the upper pieces 14 on the lower parts 12 and the ends 18 of the sleeves are deformed 17 by crimping.

    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 upper part 14 present on its face upper 26 three strips 27 which extend axially from three alternating edges 28 which have at their ends the claws 7 intended to penetrate the grooves 6 formed in the cylinder head 5 of a gem 3.

    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 upper parts 14 are arranged for mounting on the lower parts 12, such so that any lamella 27 of an upper part 14 is disposed between lamellae of adjacent upper pieces.

    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 lower parts 12 are identical. It is likewise upper parts 14 and and connecting rings (11). The upper parts 14 and the lower parts 12 are made of known manner using numerically controlled machine tools which allow to obtain the desired machining precision.
