Description

La plupart des montres-bracelets présentent des boítes de montres 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 boíte de montre est une contrainte au niveau de la forme de la boíte de la montre, contrainte jugée souvent inacceptable par les créateurs.Most wristwatches have watch cases with horns for attaching a bracelet using elastic bars or not. The need to provide horns on the watch case is a constraint level of the shape of the watch case, a constraint often considered unacceptable by the creators.

On connaít du document FR-2490082 un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur une boíte de montre qui comporte des perçages pratiqués dans des bossages saillants que comporte la boíte de montre destinés à recevoir les extrémités d'anses servant à fixer le bracelet. Dans cette réalisation les anses étant articulées, elles peuvent épouser la forme du poignet de l'usager. Par contre, la boíte de montre doit comporter des bossages ou plots saillants constituant une contrainte importante pour le designer de boíte de montre que la présente invention tend à supprimer.Document FR-2490082 discloses a device for fixing a bracelet on a watch case which has holes made in bosses protruding parts of the watch case intended to receive the ends handles used to secure the bracelet. In this realization the handles being articulated, they can follow the shape of the user's wrist. However, the watch case must have protruding bosses or studs constituting a significant constraint for the watch case designer that this invention tends to suppress.

Différents dispositifs de fixation de bracelet ont été proposés où la totalité du dispositif est intégré dans la boíte de montre. De tels dispositifs sont complexes et onéreux car ils nécessitent des usinages souvent compliqués de la boíte de montre.Different bracelet fixing devices have been proposed where all of the device is integrated in the watch case. Such devices are complex and expensive because they require often complicated machining of the box shows.

La présente invention a pour but la réalisation d'un dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur une boíte 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 boíte de montre, que ce bracelet soit souple ou rigide. The object of the present invention is to produce a device for fixing a bracelet on a watch case which obviates the aforementioned drawbacks and which more simple, inexpensive and particularly robust to be able to equip sports or diving watches. Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the mounting of a strap on a watch case, whether this strap 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 boíte de montre selon l'invention.The attached drawing illustrates schematically and by way of example two forms of execution of the device for fixing a bracelet on a watch case according to the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue de dessous d'une boíte de montre équipée du dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a bottom view of a watch case equipped with 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.

La boíte de montre illustrée munie du dispositif de fixation du bracelet selon l'invention comporte une boíte 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 boíte 1 pourrait comporter un fond tout métal dans d'autres exécutions.The illustrated watch case provided with the strap fixing device according to the invention comprises a box of form 1, a middle part of the bezel 2 in which is fixed a window 3 and a bottom 4 also comprising a window 5. Of course, the box 1 could include an all-metal background in other versions.

Le dispositif de fixation du bracelet sur cette boíte de montre comporte sur les deux côtés de la boíte 1, ici à 12H et à 6H, deux perçages borgnes 6,7 pratiqués dans la boíte 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 boíte de montre 12H-6H situés à égale distance de ce plan de symétrie.The strap fastening device on this watch case includes on the two sides of the box 1, here at 12 o'clock and at 6 o'clock, two blind holes 6.7 practiced 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 12H-6H watch case 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 boíte 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 by 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 ° approximately.

La boíte de montre est encore munie de filetages 8,9 débouchant sur la face inférieure de la boíte 1 et dont les axes intersectent les cornes des perçages borgnes 6,7.The watch case is still fitted with 8.9 threads leading to the underside of the box 1 and whose axes intersect the horns of the holes blind 6.7.

Dans une première forme d'exécution, le dispositif de fixation d'un bracelet sur une boíte de montre comporte encore des organes d'accrochage du bracelet constitués par des fils ou tiges pliés 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 fixing a bracelet on a watch case also has strap attachment members constituted by wires or rods bent in a general U-shape 10. These organs or handles 10 each have a middle portion 11 intended to receive the bracelet (not shown) and two ends folded at approximately 90 ° 12. Each of these ends or branch 12 has on its underside, near its end, an obviously 13. Between this obviously 13 and the end of the branch 12 this has 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. The middle part 11 of these handles 10 receives the bracelet, it can be folded around this middle part or have a passage at its end receiving this middle part 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.Once the bracelet is threaded or fixed on this middle part of the handle 10 the ends of the branches 12 thereof 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.

Pour terminer l'assemblage, des vis 14 sont vissées dans les taraudages 8,9 de la boíte 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 boíte 1. Les vis 14 sont munies de joints O-ring 14a afin d'éviter qu'elles ne se dévissent sous l'effet de vibrations.To complete the assembly, screws 14 are screwed into the threads 8.9 of the box 1, and their ends are housed in the recesses 13 of branches 12 of the fasteners 10 and fix them firmly in place on the box 1. The screws 14 are provided with O-ring seals 14a in order to prevent them from unscrew under the effect of vibrations.

Ce dispositif de fixation est très simple et très robuste. De plus, il ne nécessite que des usinages simples de la boíte et peut être incorporé à n'importe quelle boíte de montre quelle que soit sa forme.This fixing device is very simple and very robust. In addition, it does not requires simple machining of the box and can be incorporated into any what a watch case whatever 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 different variants illustrated, the handle 10 comprises at the end of its branches 12 circular grooves 15 intended to receive a seal 16 anti vibration.

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 boíte de montre, puis enfiler la partie du bracelet comportant un passage sur la branche 20 munie du tube 21 fixée à la boíte. 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 boíte de la montre. In the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the member for hanging the bracelet or loop 10 is made up of two bent rods or wires L shape 17.18. The short branches 19 of these rods 17,18 have as in the first embodiment, obviously 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 a complete attachment member for the bracelet. Thanks to that realization in two parts of the handle 10, we can first fix a part 17 on the watch case, then put on the part of the bracelet with a passage on the branch 20 provided with the tube 21 fixed to the box. Then branch 20 on the other part 18 is threaded through the passage of the bracelet intended to receive it. This part 18 is fully inserted so that the end of the branch 20 is plugged in in the free end of the tube 21 then the free end of the branch 19 is fixed to the watch case.

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.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 position of service 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 handle 10 can be formed from a stainless steel wire or rod bent and machined 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.
