Description

Dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur une boîte de montre Device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case
La plupart des montres-bracelets présentent des boîtes de montre munies de cornes pour la fixation d'un bracelet à l'aide de barrettes élastiques ou non. La nécessité de prévoir des cornes sur la boîte de montre est une contrainte au niveau de la forme de la boîte de la montre, contrainte jugée souvent inacceptable par les créateurs.Most wristwatches have watch cases fitted with horns for attaching a strap using elastic bars or not. The need to provide horns on the watch case is a constraint in terms of the shape of the watch case, a constraint often considered unacceptable by the creators.
Différents dispositifs de fixation de bracelet ont été proposés où la totalité du dispositif est intégré dans la boîte de montre. De tels dispositifs sont complexes et onéreux car ils nécessitent des usinages souvent compliqués de la boîte de montre.Different strap fixing devices have been proposed where the entire device is integrated into the watch case. Such devices are complex and expensive because they require often complicated machining of the watch case.
La présente invention a pour but la réalisation d'un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur une boîte de montre qui obvie aux inconvénients précités et qui de plus soit simple, peu onéreux et particulièrement robuste pour pouvoir équiper des montres de sport ou de plongée. Un autre but de la présente invention est de faciliter le montage d'un bracelet sur une boîte de montre, que ce bracelet soit souple ou rigide.The object of the present invention is to provide a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case which obviates the aforementioned drawbacks and which moreover is simple, inexpensive and particularly robust in order to be able to equip sports or diving watches. . Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the mounting of a bracelet on a watch case, whether this bracelet is flexible or rigid.
Le dessin annexé illustre schématiquement et à titre d'exemple deux formes d'exécution du dispositif pour la fixation d'un bracelet sur une boîte de montre selon l'invention.The accompanying drawing illustrates schematically and by way of example two embodiments of the device for fixing a bracelet to a watch case according to the invention.
La figure 1 est une vue de dessous d'une boîte de montre équipée du dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a bottom view of a watch case equipped with the device according to the invention.
La figure 2 est une coupe partielle, à plus grande échelle, de la figure 1 suivant la ligne A-A.Figure 2 is a partial section, on a larger scale, of Figure 1 along line A-A.
La figure 3 illustre en plan une première forme d'exécution d'une anse-fil formant partie du dispositif.Figure 3 illustrates in plan a first embodiment of a wire loop forming part of the device.
La figure 4 illustre en plan une seconde forme d'exécution d'une anse-fil formant partie du dispositif.Figure 4 illustrates in plan a second embodiment of a wire loop forming part of the device.
COPIE DE C0MFIRMATI0N La boîte de montre illustrée munie du dispositif de fixation du bracelet selon l'invention comporte une boîte de forme 1 , une carrure lunette 2 dans laquelle est fixée une glace 3 et un fond 4 comportant également une glace 5. Bien entendu, la boîte 1 pourrait comporter un fond tout métal dans d'autres exécutions. Le dispositif de fixation du bracelet sur cette boîte de montre comporte sur les deux côtés de la boîte 1 , ici à 12H et à 6H, deux perçages borgnes 6,7 pratiqués dans la boîte de montre et débouchant sur sa surface périphérique. Ces perçages 6,7 sont parallèles entre eux et situés dans des plans parallèles au plan de symétrie de la boîte de montre 12H-6H situés à égale distance de ce plan de symétrie.COPY OF C0MFIRMATI0N The illustrated watch case provided with the strap fixing device according to the invention comprises a shape box 1, a middle part of the bezel 2 in which a lens 3 is fixed and a base 4 also comprising a lens 5. Of course, the box 1 may have an all-metal backing in other designs. The strap fastening device on this watch case comprises on the two sides of the case 1, here at 12 noon and at 6 o'clock, two blind holes 6,7 made in the watch case and opening onto its peripheral surface. These holes 6,7 are parallel to each other and located in planes parallel to the plane of symmetry of the watch case 12H-6H located at equal distance from this plane of symmetry.
Dans l'exemple illustré, l'axe des perçages borgnes 6,7 est incliné par rapport aux faces supérieures et inférieures de la boîte 1 , l'angle d'inclinaison de ces perçages peut varier à volonté entre + 60° et - 60° environ.In the example illustrated, the axis of the blind holes 6,7 is inclined relative to the upper and lower faces of the box 1, the angle of inclination of these holes can vary at will between + 60 ° and - 60 ° about.
La boîte de montre est encore munie de filetages 8,9 débouchant sur la face inférieure de la boîte 1 et dont les axes intersectent les cornes des perçages borgnes 6,7.The watch case is also provided with threads 8.9 opening onto the underside of the case 1 and the axes of which intersect the horns of the blind holes 6.7.
Dans une première forme d'exécution, le dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur une boîte de montre comporte encore des organes d'accrochage du bracelet constitués par des fils ou tiges plies en forme générale de U 10. Ces organes ou anses 10 comportent chacune une partie médiane 11 destinée à recevoir le bracelet (non illustré) et deux extrémités repliées à 90° environ 12. Chacune de ces extrémités ou branche 12 comporte sur sa face inférieure, à proximité de son extrémité, un évidemment 13. Entre cet évidemment 13 et l'extrémité de la branche 12 celle-ci comporte une gorge 15 recevant un joint O-ring pour garantir la stabilité de l'assemblage aux vibrations.In a first embodiment, the device for attaching a strap to a watch case also comprises strap hooking members constituted by wires or rods bent in the general shape of U 10. These members or handles 10 comprise each a middle part 11 intended to receive the bracelet (not shown) and two ends folded at 90 ° approximately 12. Each of these ends or branch 12 has on its lower face, near its end, a recess 13. Between this recess 13 and the end of the branch 12 this comprises a groove 15 receiving an O-ring seal to guarantee the stability of the assembly to vibrations.
La partie médiane 11 de ces anses 10 reçoit le bracelet, celui-ci peut être replié autour de cette partie médiane ou comporter à son extrémité un passage recevant cette partie médiane 11. Une fois le bracelet enfilé ou fixé sur cette partie médiane de l'anse 10 les extrémités des branches 12 de celle-ci sont enfilées chacune dans un des perçages borgnes 6,7 jusqu'à une position où l'évidemment 13 se situe dans le prolongement des filetages 8,9. Pour terminer l'assemblage, des vis 14 sont vissées dans les taraudagesThe middle part 11 of these handles 10 receives the bracelet, the latter can be folded around this middle part or comprise at its end a passage receiving this middle part 11. Once the bracelet is threaded or fixed on this middle part of the handle 10, the ends of the branches 12 of the latter are each threaded in one of the blind holes 6,7 to a position where the recess 13 is located in the thread extension 8.9. To complete the assembly, screws 14 are screwed into the threads
8,9 de la boîte 1 , et leurs extrémités viennent se loger dans les évidements 13 des branches 12 des organes d'attachement 10 et fixent ceux-ci fermement en place sur la boîte 1. Les vis 14 sont munies de joints O-ring 14a afin d'éviter qu'elles ne se dévissent sous l'effet de vibrations. Ce dispositif de fixation est très simple et très robuste. De plus, il ne nécessite que des usinages simples de la boîte et peut être incorporé à n'importe quelle boîte de montre quelle que soit sa forme.8.9 of the box 1, and their ends are received in the recesses 13 of the branches 12 of the attachment members 10 and fix these firmly in place on the box 1. The screws 14 are provided with O-ring seals 14a in order to prevent them from unscrewing under the effect of vibrations. This fixing device is very simple and very robust. In addition, it requires only simple machining of the case and can be incorporated into any watch case regardless of its shape.
Dans les différentes variantes illustrées, l'anse 10 comporte à l'extrémité de ses branches 12 des rainures circulaires 15 destinées à recevoir un joint 16 anti vibrations.In the various variants illustrated, the handle 10 comprises at the end of its branches 12 circular grooves 15 intended to receive an anti-vibration seal 16.
Dans la seconde forme d'exécution illustrée à la figure 4, l'organe d'accrochage du bracelet ou anse 10 est constitué de deux tiges ou fils coudés en forme de L 17,18. Les branches courtes 19 de ces tiges 17,18 comportent comme dans la première forme d'exécution un évidemment 13 et une rainure 15. Un tube 21 permet de réunir les extrémités libres des longues branches 20 de ces tiges 17, 18 pour créer un organe d'accrochage complet du bracelet. Grâce à cette réalisation en deux partie de l'anse 10, on peut en fixer d'abord une partie 17 sur la boîte de montre, puis enfiler la partie du bracelet comportant un passage sur la branche 20 munie du tube 21 fixée à la boîte. Ensuite, la branche 20 de l'autre partie 18 est enfilée dans le passage du bracelet destinée à la recevoir. Cette partie 18 est introduite à fond pour que l'extrémité de la branche 20 soit enfichée dans l'extrémité libre du tube 21 puis l'extrémité libre de la branche 19 est fixée à la boîte de la montre. Le tube 21 présente un rétrécissement au milieu de sa longueur pour assurer qu'il entoure bien les extrémités des deux branches 20 en position de service et qu'il ne puisse pas glisser trop profondément sur l'une de ces branches 20.In the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the fastening member of the bracelet or handle 10 consists of two rods or bent L-shaped wires 17,18. The short branches 19 of these rods 17, 18 include, as in the first embodiment, a recess 13 and a groove 15. A tube 21 makes it possible to join the free ends of the long branches 20 of these rods 17, 18 to create an organ for hanging the bracelet. Thanks to this two-part embodiment of the handle 10, one can first fix a part 17 thereof on the watch case, then thread the part of the bracelet having a passage on the branch 20 provided with the tube 21 fixed to the case . Then, the branch 20 of the other part 18 is threaded into the passage of the bracelet intended to receive it. This part 18 is introduced as far as possible so that the end of the branch 20 is inserted into the free end of the tube 21 and then the free end of the branch 19 is fixed to the watch case. The tube 21 has a narrowing in the middle of its length to ensure that it properly surrounds the ends of the two branches 20 in the service position and that it cannot slide too deeply on one of these branches 20.
Chaque anse 10 peut être formée à partir d'un fil ou tige d'acier inoxidable plié et usiné d'un diamètre de 1 à 2 mm par exemple. On conçoit dès lors que les attaches du bracelet sur la montre sont très solides. Leur fixation mécanique est simple et robuste. Elle est en outre facilement démontable. Each loop 10 can be formed from a folded and machined stainless steel wire or rod with a diameter of 1 to 2 mm for example. It is therefore understandable that the strap attachments on the watch are very solid. Their mechanical fixing is simple and robust. It is also easily removable.
