Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux attaches de bracelet, qui permettent de relier ce dernier de manière amovible à une boîte de montre ou à un fermoir.The present invention relates to bracelet fasteners, which connect the latter detachably to a watch case or a clasp.

Une des solutions les plus fréquemment utilisées consiste à pratiquer dans le bracelet, selon une orientation latérale, un logement dans lequel est disposée une barrette à ressort. Cette dernière est munie, à ses deux extrémités, d'ergots qui s'engagent dans des trous borgnes que comporte la boîte dans ses cornes. Une telle solution est sûre et peu coûteuse. Elle nécessite toutefois des outils et une certaine habileté, rendant même difficile le remplacement d'un bracelet dans certains magasins.One of the most frequently used solutions is to practice in the bracelet, in a lateral orientation, a housing in which is arranged a spring bar. The latter is provided at both ends with lugs which engage in blind holes that the box contains in its horns. Such a solution is safe and inexpensive. However, it requires tools and a certain skill, even making it difficult to replace a bracelet in some stores.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient, le document US 6 176 612 propose de doter l'extrémité du bracelet d'une plaquette munie de deux paires d'ergots disposés dans des rainures pratiquées dans les cornes de la boîte. Si l'enlèvement et la mise en place du bracelet peuvent se faire rapidement, cette solution présente des contraintes techniques qui limitent considérablement les formes de la boîte.To overcome this drawback, US 6 176 612 proposes to provide the end of the bracelet with a plate provided with two pairs of lugs arranged in grooves made in the horns of the box. If the removal and setting up of the bracelet can be done quickly, this solution has technical constraints that significantly limit the shapes of the box.

On connaît par ailleurs des systèmes d'attache dans lesquels l'extrémité du bracelet est munie d'une plaquette percée de trous, la fixation se faisant au moyen de vis. Une telle solution est considérée comme sûre et esthétiquement satisfaisante, mais le vissage et le dévissage nécessitent aussi une certaine habileté manuelle.Fastening systems are also known in which the end of the bracelet is provided with a plate pierced with holes, the fixing being done by means of screws. Such a solution is considered safe and aesthetically pleasing, but screwing and unscrewing also requires some manual skill.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une attache de bracelet destinée à relier un bracelet à une pièce d'habillage de la montre pouvant être une boîte ou un fermoir, qui soit de manipulation facile, garantissant une bonne sécurité de fixation et permettant des réalisations esthétiques.The object of the present invention is to propose a bracelet attachment intended to connect a bracelet to a piece of clothing of the watch which can be a box or a clasp, which is easy to handle, guaranteeing a good security of fixation and allowing aesthetic achievements.

Selon l'invention, l'attache comporte des première et deuxième parties, l'une solidaire d'un brin de bracelet, l'autre de la pièce d'habillage. L'ensemble formé de la boîte et du bracelet définit une dimension longitudinale correspondant à une courbe entourant le poignet du porteur, et une dimension latérale tangente au poignet, formant ensemble une surface de référence.According to the invention, the fastener comprises first and second parts, one secured to one strand of the bracelet, the other of the dressing part. The set formed by the box and the bracelet defines a longitudinal dimension corresponding to a curve surrounding the wrist of the wearer, and a lateral dimension tangent to the wrist, together forming a reference surface.

Cette attache est caractérisée en ce que la première de ces parties est munie d'au moins une découpe perpendiculaire à la surface de référence, et la deuxième partie comporte un organe déformable élastiquement selon une direction perpendiculaire à la surface de référence et agencé de manière à pouvoir être engagé à cran dans la découpe de la première partie.This fastener is characterized in that the first of these parts is provided with at least one cut perpendicular to the reference surface, and the second part comprises an elastically deformable member in a direction perpendicular to the reference surface and arranged so as to can be engaged in notch in the cut of the first part.

Avantageusement, la partie solidaire de la pièce de l'habillage est munie d'une fente, dont la profondeur a une orientation longitudinale et la largeur une orientation latérale et dont l'épaisseur est sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur du brin du bracelet, dans laquelle est engagée la partie de l'attache solidaire du bracelet.Advantageously, the integral part of the part of the casing is provided with a slot, whose depth has a longitudinal orientation and the width a lateral orientation and whose thickness is substantially equal to the thickness of the strap strand, in which is engaged the part of the fastener secured to the bracelet.

Afin de faciliter la mise en place des brins du bracelet, la fente que comporte la pièce d'habillage est évasée vers l'extérieur.To facilitate the establishment of strands of the bracelet, the slot that includes the dressing part is flared outwardly.

La rigidité et la fiabilité de l'attache sont particulièrement bonnes lorsqu'elle comprend une plaquette, réalisée en un matériau élastique rigide tel que l'acier inoxydable ou une matière plastique composite, logée dans l'extrémité du brin du bracelet. Cette plaquette comporte une languette formant l'organe déformable élastiquement.The rigidity and reliability of the fastener are particularly good when it comprises a plate, made of a rigid elastic material such as stainless steel or a composite plastic material, housed in the end of the strap strand. This plate comprises a tongue forming the elastically deformable member.

La présente invention se rapporte également à une montre munie d'un bracelet, d'une boîte et d'une attache, la boîte étant solidaire de la première partie et le bracelet de la deuxième partie de l'attache.The present invention also relates to a watch provided with a bracelet, a box and a fastener, the box being integral with the first part and the bracelet of the second part of the fastener.

L'invention concerne aussi un bracelet, destiné à équiper une montre telle que définie ci-dessus, muni d'une deuxième partie qui comprend une plaquette en matériau élastique, destinée à être logée dans l'extrémité du bracelet, et comportant une languette formant l'organe déformable élastiquement, cette deuxième partie étant logée dans un brin de bracelet formé d'un matériau élastiquement déformable et moulé, à l'instar d'un caoutchouc.The invention also relates to a bracelet, intended to equip a watch as defined above, provided with a second part which comprises a plate of elastic material, intended to be housed in the end of the bracelet, and having a tongue forming the elastically deformable member, this second part being housed in a bracelet strand formed of an elastically deformable material and molded, like a rubber.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence au dessin dans lequel:

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en coupe d'une boîte de montre et d'un bracelet fixés l'un à l'autre au moyen d'une attache selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 illustre la montre de la figure 1 vue de dessous, agrandie en 2a, et
  • les figures 3 et 4 montrent respectivement en plan et en coupe un bracelet muni d'une plaquette, partie de l'attache selon l'invention.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and with reference to the drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a watch case and a bracelet fixed to each other by means of a fastener according to the invention;
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the watch of FIG. 1 seen from below, enlarged at 2a, and
  • Figures 3 and 4 show respectively in plan and in section a bracelet provided with a plate, part of the fastener according to the invention.

La montre partiellement représentée sur les figures 1 et 2 comporte, de manière classique, une boîte 10 destinée à recevoir un mouvement, un bracelet 12 et une attache 13. La boîte 10 et le bracelet 12 définissent une dimension longitudinale correspondant à une courbe entourant le poignet du porteur, et une dimension latérale tangente au poignet, formant ensemble une surface de référence.The watch partially shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises, in a conventional manner, a box 10 for receiving a movement, a bracelet 12 and a fastener 13. The box 10 and the bracelet 12 define a longitudinal dimension corresponding to a curve surrounding the wrist of the wearer, and a lateral dimension tangent to the wrist, together forming a reference surface.

La boîte 10 comprend une carrure 14 portant un fond 16 et une glace 18, et des pièces 20 de fixation du bracelet 12 à la boîte 10, fixées à la carrure 14 par des moyens, amovibles ou non, qui n'ont pas été représentés car ne faisant pas partie de l'invention. Des boîtes de ce type sont par exemple commercialisées sous la marque Hublot. Les pièces 20 sont disposées en face l'une de l'autre, à midi et à six heures, dans la position habituellement occupée par les cornes. On relèvera ici qu'elles pourraient aussi être usinées directement dans la carrure 14.The box 10 comprises a middle part 14 carrying a bottom 16 and an ice-cream 18, and parts 20 for attaching the bracelet 12 to the box 10, fixed to the middle part 14 by means, removable or otherwise, which have not been represented. because not forming part of the invention. Boxes of this type are for example marketed under the trademark Hublot. The pieces 20 are arranged opposite each other, at noon and six o'clock, in the position usually occupied by the horns. We note here that they could also be machined directly in the middle part 14.

Le bracelet 12 comporte deux brins 21, réalisés en matériau souple tel que du caoutchouc, reliés l'un à l'autre par un fermoir non visible au dessin. L'un seulement de ces brins apparaît sur la figure 1. Chaque brin 21 est muni, à son extrémité attenante à la pièce 20, d'une âme 22 noyée dans le caoutchouc.The bracelet 12 comprises two strands 21, made of flexible material such as rubber, connected to each other by a clasp not visible in the drawing. Only one of these strands appears in Figure 1. Each strand 21 is provided at its end adjacent to the part 20, a core 22 embedded in the rubber.

La pièce 20 et l'âme 22 forment ensemble l'attache 13.The part 20 and the core 22 together form the fastener 13.

Chacune des pièces 20 présente une fente 20a s'étendant sur la plus grande part de sa largeur, et destinée à recevoir l'un des brins 21 du bracelet 12. Elle comprend, en outre, une découpe 20b reliant la fente 20a à l'arrière de la boîte 10.Each of the pieces 20 has a slot 20a extending over most of its width, and intended to receive one of the strands 21 of the bracelet 12. It further comprises a cutout 20b connecting the slot 20a to the back of the box 10.

La fente 20a s'évase vers l'extérieur, laissant un espace 24 de forme triangulaire entre le bracelet 12 et la pièce 20.The slot 20a flares outward, leaving a space 24 of triangular shape between the bracelet 12 and the piece 20.

L'âme 22 est formée d'une plaquette, mieux visible sur les figures 3 et 4, avantageusement en acier inoxydable, de quelques dixièmes de millimètres d'épaisseur. Elle est de forme générale rectangulaire, avec deux fentes 22a s'étendant longitudinalement au tiers de la largeur du bracelet 12, et définissant une languette 22b formant un organe élastique. Cette dernière est repliée à son extrémité, pour former un doigt 22c. Elle est percée de trous 22d la traversant de part en part dans son épaisseur, dans lesquels pénètre le caoutchouc constitutif du brin 21, rendant ainsi ce dernier et l'âme 22 fortement solidaires l'un de l'autre.The core 22 is formed of a plate, better visible in Figures 3 and 4, preferably stainless steel, a few tenths of millimeters thick. It is of generally rectangular shape, with two slots 22a extending longitudinally to the third of the width of the bracelet 12, and defining a tongue 22b forming an elastic member. The latter is folded at its end to form a finger 22c. It is pierced with holes 22d passing right through its thickness, into which the constituent rubber strand 21 penetrates, thus making the latter and the core 22 strongly integral with each other.

Afin d'améliorer l'adhérence de la matière formant le brin du bracelet sur l'âme 22, la surface de cette dernière peut être travaillée pour augmenter la surface d'adhérence.In order to improve the adhesion of the material forming the strand of the bracelet on the core 22, the surface of the latter 22 can be worked to increase the adhesion surface.

Le brin 21 est muni d'un dégagement 21a dans lequel débouche l'âme 22, et plus particulièrement la languette 22b et son doigt 22c.The strand 21 is provided with a clearance 21a into which the core 22 opens, and more particularly the tongue 22b and its finger 22c.

Pour rendre solidaire le bracelet 12 de la boîte 10, il suffit d'introduire l'un après l'autre les brins 21 dans les fentes 20a. Le doigt 22c prend appui contre la partie évasée de la fente 20a. En appliquant une force dans le sens longitudinal, le doigt 22c est contraint et se rétracte dans l'épaisseur du bracelet, jusqu'à pénétrer dans la découpe 20b. Il se détend alors et y reste accroché.To make the bracelet 12 of the box 10 integral, it is sufficient to introduce one after the other the strands 21 in the slots 20a. The finger 22c bears against the flared portion of the slot 20a. By applying a force in the longitudinal direction, the finger 22c is constrained and retracts into the thickness of the bracelet until it enters the cutout 20b. He relaxes then and stays hooked.

Pour libérer le bracelet 12 de la boîte 10, il suffit de presser au moyen d'un outil quelconque, par exemple une cheville de bois, sur le doigt 22c et tirer sur le brin 21, de manière à ce que le doigt 22c sorte de la découpe 20b et glisse sur la paroi de la fente 20a définissant l'espace 24, et quitte ainsi la boîte.To release the bracelet 12 from the box 10, it is sufficient to press by means of any tool, for example a wooden dowel, on the finger 22c and pull on the strand 21, so that the finger 22c sort of the cut 20b and slides on the wall of the slot 20a defining the space 24, and thus leaves the box.

La mise en place et le retrait des brins du bracelet se fait donc de manière très simple, sans nécessiter de moyens particuliers, et sans risque d'abîmer la boîte.The establishment and removal of strands of the bracelet is therefore very simple, without requiring special means, and without risk of damaging the box.

On relèvera que le fait d'avoir des brins de bracelet en caoutchouc permet d'avoir une âme parfaitement rigide, tout en disposant d'un doigt 22c élastiquement déformable avec facilité, à cause des caractéristiques du caoutchouc. Certaines matières plastiques ou composites pourraient engendrer le même effet.It will be noted that the fact of having rubber bracelet strands makes it possible to have a perfectly rigid core, while having a finger 22c elastically deformable with ease, because of the characteristics of the rubber. Some plastics or composites could have the same effect.

Dans la variante décrite ci-dessus, l'organe élastique que forme la languette 22b est associé au bracelet. Il serait tout aussi facile de réaliser une découpe dans l'âme 22 et de disposer l'organe élastique sur la pièce 20.In the variant described above, the elastic member that forms the tongue 22b is associated with the bracelet. It would be just as easy to make a cut in the core 22 and to have the elastic member on the part 20.

Dans une autre variante, les brins du bracelet peuvent être réalisés en un autre matériau que du caoutchouc. Il pourrait tout aussi bien s'agir d'un bracelet métallique, formé d'une succession de maillons, le dernier assurant la fonction de l'âme 22, soit avec une découpe comme expliqué plus haut, ou muni d'un organe élastique similaire à celui décrit en référence au dessin.In another variant, the strands of the bracelet may be made of a material other than rubber. It could equally well be a metal bracelet, formed of a succession of links, the latter ensuring the function of the core 22, or with a cut as explained above, or provided with a similar elastic member to that described with reference to the drawing.

Comme déjà mentionné, la partie de l'attache 13 associée à la boîte peut être réalisée par usinage de la carrure 14. D'autres variantes sont encore envisageables. Il est ainsi possible de réaliser le fente 20a et la découpe 20b en rapportant une pièce, par exemple une barrette à ressort, entre les cornes d'une boîte dont la partie entre cornes serait couverte.As already mentioned, the part of the fastener 13 associated with the box can be made by machining the caseband 14. Other variants are still conceivable. It is thus possible to make the slot 20a and the cut 20b by bringing a piece, for example a spring bar, between the horns of a box whose part between horns would be covered.

Le mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus se rapporte à une boîte et à un bracelet. Il est évident que la fixation d'un fermoir au bracelet peut se faire de manière identique, avec le même type d'attache.The embodiment described above relates to a box and a bracelet. It is obvious that the attachment of a clasp to the bracelet can be done identically, with the same type of fastener.
