Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding clasp for a bracelet interchangeable watch strap and more particularly for a watch strap flexible in leather, synthetic material, textile or other.
  • the object of the present invention is to give the user the possibility of disassemble itself, without tools, the folding clasp with a flexible bracelet interchangeable to install it on another flexible bracelet, for example different color or texture. So only one folding clasp is needed whatever the number of interchangeable straps that the user has.
  • the interchangeable strap may for example be of the type described in European patent No (European patent application No 00103952.8 dated February 25, 2000 in the name of the licensee). It is clear, however, that this invention also applies to any other type of interchangeable bracelet can be removably attached, or even without tools, on the watch case.
  • the folding clasp for interchangeable watch strap according to the invention is distinguished by the features listed in claim 1.
  • the attached drawing illustrates schematically and by way of example a shape particular execution of the folding clasp for watch strap interchangeable according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a partial plan view of a watch strap provided with a folding clasp according to the invention, the clasp being in the closed state.
  • Figure 2 is a section along line A-A of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the folding clasp mounted on a bracelet, the clasp being in the closed state.
  • Figure 4 is a top plan view of the clasp deploying alone in open position.
  • Figure 5 is a bottom plan view of the clasp deploying alone in open position, some parts being seen in section.
  • the folding clasp according to the invention is designed so that it can be assembled to the strands of an interchangeable watch strap.
  • This assembly is designed so that the user can assemble and disassemble the clasp strands of the bracelet without tools, quickly and very easily. So the same clasp can be used for several interchangeable straps, which is very advantageous especially when the clasp is made of precious metal. In addition, this assembly ensures the possibility of setting the length of the bracelet very easy. Finally, as we will see further on, the assembly and disassembly of the bracelet strands on the clasp only require manipulation of the ends of the bracelet strands, but no mechanical intervention on the clasp itself.
  • each strand of the bracelet has a passage or hole its end to be coupled to the clasp.
  • a screw passes through this hole and is screwed in one end of the clasp.
  • the screw may no longer keep it screwed or locked with enough force to prevent it from unscrews under the effect of the oscillating movement of the bracelet strands.
  • the bracelet can therefore untimely detaching from the clasp, which can cause loss of the wristwatch.
  • This drawback is not found in the folding clasp according to the invention.
  • the illustrated folding clasp has two articulated arms, one on the other by one of their ends.
  • the folding clasp according to the invention could include three parts articulated to each other.
  • the folding clasp illustrated has a first arm 1, one end of which ends with a finger 2 and a second arm 3, one end of which ends with a fork 4. These arms 1,3 are assembled by a pin 5 passing through the two ends of the fork 4 and the end of the finger 2 located between the ends of said fork. The two arms 1, 3 are thus articulated one on the other by one of their ends.
  • the free end of the arm 3 comprises on the one hand an opening 6 intended for cooperate with a lug 7 that has the other end of the arm 2 of the clasp.
  • This lug 7 and this opening 6 allow the two arms to be held in place by clipping in folded, closed position of the clasp.
  • the free end of the arm 1 comprises a device for fixing a strand of bracelet composed of a guide 8 having in section the general shape of a U, a axis 9 formed by a screw or a pin connecting the opposite wings of the guide 8 and holding members formed by folded legs 10 integral with the wings of the guide and extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the clasp.
  • the user can thus introduce the end of a bracelet strand 11 between the axis 9 and the folded tabs 10 of the guide 8, it then returns the end of this strand 11 180 ° and threads it between the axis 9 and the dorsal part of the U-shaped guide 8.
  • length of the bracelet can be adjusted by defining the length of the turnaround of the strand 11.
  • the strand 11 of the bracelet is thus maintained in its coupled position to the clasp by the axis 3, the dorsal part of the guide 8 and the folded tabs 10.
  • the free end of the other arm 3 is articulated by means of screws 12 on the side parts 13 of the cover 14 of the clasp.
  • An axis 15 connects the two parts side 13 of the cover 14.
  • the upper part of the cover 14 has retainers 16 of the bracelet extending towards the strand 17 of the bracelet.
  • the ends of the strands 11 and 17 of the bracelet are thinned so that when folded in half they have a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the bracelet itself.
  • the bracelet of course has at its two ends to be connected to the watch case quick fixing systems and without tools, by example of the type described in European patent application No. 00103952.8.
  • the user can freely change the strap, the coupling interchangeable on the watch case being guaranteed by said fixing system quick and without tools, and can thus adapt the new leather strap to a clasp such as that described in the present application.
  • the user can keep his watch and its clasp which can for example be made of precious metals, and change itself, tool-free, easily and quickly bracelet.
  • This clasp also has the advantage that the two strands of the bracelet can be identical, which simplifies and streamlines the manufacture of bracelets.
  • the user can always adjust the bracelet so that that the clasp is centered on his wrist, always located opposite the watch.
