Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a quick adjustment device between at least two lengths of a bracelet, including a bracelet with a folding clasp.
  • the person skilled in the field of the manufacture of bracelets knows that the diameter of the human wrist varies according to the ambient temperature and the physical activity of the wearer. During the hot season and / or during a significant physical activity of the wearer, the diameter of the wrist increases while during the cold season and / or lack of physical activity this diameter decreases. We therefore understand the need to be able to adjust the length of the bracelet to adapt to these differences in diameter if we want to avoid, depending on the circumstances, that the bracelet is too loose around the wrist or that it tightens uncomfortable wrist of the wearer.
  • the document EP-A-0737 427 proposed a link adjustable in length independent of a clasp and can be placed anywhere in a bracelet link.
  • the adjustable link comprises a cap in which slides a base and a mechanism of spring loaded pushers to allow the link to be extended in several different lengths.
  • the pushers each have an end that protrudes from the side faces of the link and an opposite end provided with a notch cooperating with the teeth of two racks facing each other and provided in the cap.
  • a similar type system and integrated into a folding clasp is also described by the document US-A-5,749,128 .
  • this link and this adjustable clasp allow a satisfactory adjustment of the length of a bracelet in which it is integrated, the control buttons are visible from the outside and detract from the overall aesthetics of the bracelet in which they are integrated.
  • these adjustment mechanisms respectively comprise a large number of parts, which makes them complex and expensive to implement.
  • the document EP-A-819 391 further described a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet provided with a folding clasp in which the adjustment of the length is effected by means of a control link having two axes of articulation respectively connected to the clasp cap and at an end link of the bracelet.
  • the adjustment link can pivot relative to its axis connected to the cap of the clasp to pass its axis connected to the end link on either side of the axis connected to the cap to define two specific lengths.
  • the end link connected to the adjustment link has a particular shape which allows in the position of the adjustment link corresponding to the short length, to spring elastically on the adjusting link.
  • this device determines the distance between the short length and the long length by the distance between the two axes of articulation of the adjustment link, this difference being equal to twice this distance.
  • the choice of this length adjustment gap is therefore limited in practice by construction constraints of the adjustment link which can not be less than 5 mm.
  • this device has the disadvantage of only allowing to choose between two specific lengths.
  • the document CH-A-667 979 describes and shows a clasp with folding blades in which the adjusting link is articulated on the cap of the clasp via a connecting rod whose secondary axis of articulation is slidably mounted on the adjusting link.
  • the locking device described in this document comprises a relatively complex pusher mechanism and bulky, and which is detrimental to the aesthetics of the bracelet.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the abovementioned prior art by providing a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet, in particular allowing a choice of distance to adjust the length of the bracelet which is independent of the distance. between the axes of articulation of the adjustment link on the base plate.
  • This adjustment device must also be compact to be easily integrated in a bracelet link or in a folding clasp.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet that can be implemented simply by the wearer without the use of tools.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a device for adjusting the length of a simple, safe and inexpensive construction bracelet.
  • the invention proposes a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet, in particular provided with a clasp with folding blades, designed to be inserted generally longitudinally between two end strands of the bracelet, the adjustment device comprising a base plate at a first longitudinal end and a control link at a second longitudinal end, the adjustment link being hinged to the base plate by means of at least one link which is articulated by a first end, on the base plate via a first transverse axis of articulation said main axis and which is articulated, by a second end, on the control link via a second transverse axis of articulation called secondary axis, wherein the control link is arranged so as to slide relative to the base plate in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet, comprising a locking device permitting the attachment link on an anchoring element arranged on the base plate in at least two indexed longitudinal positions respectively defining two lengths of a bracelet, characterized in that the anchoring element is arranged on the main axis.
  • the wearer of the bracelet can pass easily, without skill or particular tool, a first length of bracelet to at least a second length of bracelet.
  • the difference between the different lengths is of the order of a few millimeters and thus makes it possible to compensate in a precise manner the variations of circumference of the wrist caused in particular by the ambient heat and thus to improve the wearing comfort of the wristband in all circumstances.
  • the adjustment link is articulated on the base plate by means of two links which are arranged on either side of its transverse ends, which facilitates the production of an adjustment device. compact and rigid, especially in torsion.
