Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking, more particularly to devices for attaching a bracelet to a watch.
  • a watch strap is an ornament generally surrounding the wrist. he can be of several types such as extendable, with cover or even canopy and consists for example of two parts connected by a loop.
  • the two ends of the bracelet are attached by rings or other means to the studs, hinges or handles of the watch case.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a flexible attachment device a bracelet on a watch, in particular avoiding the use of bars.
  • a watch comprising a case, at least one attachment such as a bracelet and a device connecting the housing-fastener assembly, characterized in that the clip is connected to the housing by means of at least one element flexible long arranged to maintain the attachment against the housing, the flexible element long delimiting in particular a space into which the case can be inserted and maintained by contact of the flexible element on its periphery.
  • the fastener usually consists of a bracelet, the two ends of which come to be fixed on the opposite parts of the case or can be constituted a body, for example a clip, which comes to rest against the housing and is connected to the latter by the flexible element forming a loop around it.
  • the guides are introduced into the rings of the bracelet.
  • the two ends of the flexible element are then secured by means suitable for the material component of the flexible element (welding, bonding, etc.).
  • the fitting is introduced in one of the guides and set in the corresponding ring of the bracelet, this in order to guarantee the solidity of the assembly.
  • the ends of the bracelet are thus secured by the two arms of the flexible element which constitute a non only the connection between said ends but also the space in which we introduce the watch case.
  • the rings of the bracelet, containing the guides through which the flexible element passes are introduced into the supports at the touch of a button.
  • the watch case is traditional or not and is not limited as for the choice of the material to be used during its manufacture. It includes a ledge on opposite parts of its periphery to receive an element flexible. This groove or rim can extend over the entire periphery of the housing.
  • the latter advantageously comprises a first lower rim and a second upper rim arranged in particular symmetrically around a median axis allowing the reversibility of the case.
  • the upper edges and lower allow the case to be fixed by snap-fastening in the supports.
  • the device object of the present invention, allows to move or change the watch without altering the surface of the case because the flexible element, which fixes the watch with bracelet or other fastener, is in particular of little synthetic material stretchy such as nylon or metal.
  • the bracelet or other fastener (7) is integral with an internal part profile which receives and supports the housing (1).
  • the flexible element (5) of circular section, is in particular a nylon thread and its length is variable depending on the pressure you want to exert on the housing (1).
  • the flexible element (5) has two ends (not shown) which are unified at the time of assembly.
  • the guides (4a, 4b) which prevent the shearing of the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7) as seen previously, are machined so that the inside diameter (31 - Fig. 5) is larger than the outside diameter of the flexible element (5) and that the outside diameter (33 - Fig. 5) is smaller or equal to the inside diameter of the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7).
  • the guides (4a, 4b) are only essential if the material of the bracelet (7) presents a risk of shearing.
  • the housing supports (2a, 2b - Fig. 1 + 2) which secure the housing (1) against lateral and vertical displacements, have an external part (12 - Fig. 3) semicircular in cross section, allowing the insertion of rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7) and of an interior part (11 - Fig. 3) composed of a base (14 - Fig. 3) on which the housing (1) rests, a groove (13 - Fig. 3) to fix the housing (1) against the base (14) and a surface support (15 - Fig. 3) serving as a guide for the introduction of the housing (1) in the supports (2a, 2b).
  • the flexible element (5) holds the bracelet (7) against the external parts (12) supports (2a, 2b) and avoids longitudinal movements of the housing (1).
  • the watch case (1) has a rim (8 - Fig. 4) around its periphery lower which is inserted in the groove (13) of the support (2) in order to ensure its fixing against the base (14) of the support (12) and allows the accommodation of the flexible element (5) in order to avoid any untimely movement, as seen previously.
  • the housing (1) advantageously comprises a first flange lower (8) and a second upper flange (9) arranged symmetrically around a median axis (20) allowing the reversibility of the housing.
  • the housing has only one rim, particularly central.
  • the guides (4a, 4b) are introduced into the rings (6a, 6b).
  • the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7), containing the guides (4a, 4b) through which pass the flexible element (5), are introduced into the external part (12) supports (2a, 2b) by simple pressure.
  • the housing (1) which advantageously comprises a lower flange (8) and a upper edge (9), is fixed by snap-fastening in the supports (2a, 2b). In spreading the flexible element (5) we insert the latter against the lower edge (8) or the upper edge (9) of the case (1) depending on the side of the watch that chooses the user, which ensures the maintenance of said housing (1).
  • the device for attaching a bracelet to a watch described is suitable for all types of bracelet and watch shapes. It includes at least one flexible element (5) which forms a complete loop.
  • the object of the present invention is a watch comprising a case (1), a bracelet (7) or other fastener and a device connecting the assembly.
  • the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7), containing the guides (4a, 4b) through which pass the flexible element (5), are introduced into the grooves (13) of the supports (2a, 2b) by simple pressure.
  • the housing (1) is fixed by snap-fastening in the supports (2a, 2b) and, by spreading both sides of the flexible element (5) and inserting them into the groove lower (8) of the housing (1), it ensures the positioning of the latter.
  • a fastener consisting of a body, which comes lean against only one side of the watch case, and one element flexible (5), which forms an arranged loop, for connecting said watch case (1) to the fastener.
  • This body would be, for example, a clip to fix the watch on clothing or whatever. It can advantageously include a part internal profile which serves as support for the housing (1), or can cooperate with a support which is inserted between the case (1) and the fastener (7), like the supports (2a, 2b) described.
