Definitions
- the present invention relates to a clasp with a folding clasp and in particular a clasp with a folding clasp for a watch strap.
- a clasp of this type is known from the document EP 1 279 349 and comprises a female component mounted on an upper folding arm and a male component mounted on a lower folding arm articulated to the upper folding arm.
- the clasp further comprises a pusher movable against a return spring about a pivot axis fixed relative to the female component to lock the two male and female components by pivoting said pusher.
- To unlock said clasp it is first necessary to rotate the pusher against the action of the return spring and while maintaining the pusher in its rotated position, it is then necessary to manually disengage the male component of the female component.
- the unlocking operation takes place in two stages and can be difficult to implement for the wearer of a bracelet provided with such a clasp.
- the object of the present invention is the production of a clasp with folding clasp whose unlocking is simplified and easily implemented even for the wearer of the bracelet or any other object comprising the clasp.
- Another object of the present invention is the production of a clasp folding clasp avoiding inadvertent unlocking.
- the present invention also aims to provide a clasp of simple construction comprising a small number of elements.
- the fixed blade 1 has two substantially parallel longitudinal members 10, 11.
- the first movable blade 2 is articulated at the first ends 10a, 11a of the longitudinal members 10, 11 of the fixed blade 1, while the second movable blade 3 is articulated at the second ends 10b, 11b of the longitudinal members 10, 11 of the blade fixed 1.
- the first and second movable blades 2, 3 are articulated to the fixed blade 1 by means for example of fixing bars 41 and fastening rivets 42. It is obvious that any other suitable means of articulation and known to the one skilled in the art could be used to articulate the movable blades 2, 3 to the fixed blade 1.
- the fixed blade 1, in particular the longerons 10, 11 and the first and second movable blades 2, 3 are shaped so that the first and second movable blades 2, 3 can be folded on the fixed blade 1 between the side members 10, 11 of said fixed blade 1 so that once folded, the fixed and movable blades 1, 2, 3 are substantially in the same plane and that their thickness does not exceed that of the fixed blade 1 (see figure 3 ).
- the fixed blade 1 also has a support 12 located between the longitudinal members 10, 11.
- the longitudinal members 10, 11 and the support 12 forming the fixed blade 1 have come from a single piece obtained for example by a plastic deformation process.
- the support 12 could be screwed, welded, or otherwise secured to the rails 10, 11.
- Two pushers 7, 8 are pivotally mounted on the support 12. Each of the two pushers 7, 8 pivots about a respective pivot axis 70, 80 fixed on the support 12 by means of screws 43 for example. In addition, each of the pushers 7, 8 is pivotally mounted on the support 12 of the fixed blade 1 independently against the action of an independent elastic force.
- the independent elastic force is constituted by return springs 71, 81.
- the return springs 71, 81 are bending springs of the "pin" type.
- Each pusher 7, 8 has a flange 72, 82 cooperating respectively with a stop 13, 14 of the support 12 of the fixed blade 1 to limit the rotation of the pushers 7, 8.
- the return springs 71, 81, the flanges 72, 82 pushers 7, 8 and the stops 13, 14 of the support 12 of the fixed blade 1 are shaped so that under the action of said springs 71, 81, the flanges 72, 82 come into contact with the stops 13, 14 respectively. This position of the pushers 7, 8 bearing against the stops 13, 14 is their rest position.
- Each of the first and second movable blades 2, 3 has a free end 20, 30.
- These free ends 20, 30 each comprise fixing means 44 for connecting the first and second movable blades 2, 3 to a bracelet strand, in particular two strands of a watch strap (no illustrated).
- this bracelet can be elastic or not, leather or metal or have any other suitable form.
- the free end 20 of the first movable blade 2 has an opening 21 in which is housed a detent ball 6.
- This detent ball 6 is intended to cooperate with a stud 9 fixed on the support 12 of the fixed blade 1 by means of a screw 45 for example.
- the opening 21, the detent ball 6 and the stud 9 form resilient locking means shaped to maintain the first movable blade 2 in its folded position on the fixed blade 1. This position of the first movable blade 2 in which it is held folded on the fixed blade 1 by the resilient locking means is a first locked position of the first movable blade 2 relative to the fixed blade 1.
- the free end 30 of the second movable blade 3 has in turn two shoulders 31 arranged laterally on either side of the movable blade 3 (only one shoulder is clearly visible in the figures). These shoulders 31 may for example be obtained by cutting in the second movable blade 3. These shoulders 31 are intended to cooperate respectively with a rounded flank 73, 83 of each of the pushers 7, 8.
- the shoulder 31 and the rounded flanks 73, 83 pushers 7, 8 are shaped so that when the second movable blade 3 is folded over the fixed blade 1, the two shoulders 31 respectively come into contact with the rounded sides 73, 83 of the pushers 7, 8.
- the pushers 7, 8 each further comprise a lug 74, 84 respectively having an inclined plane 75, 85.
- the lugs 74, 84 are intended to cooperate with the free end 20 of the first movable blade 2 to release it from its first locked position relative to the fixed blade 1. In the first locked position of the first movable blade 2 relative to the fixed blade, by pivoting the pushers 7, 8 against the action of their respective return spring 71, 81 said lugs 74, 84 come into contact with inclined planes 22 of the free end 20 of the first fixed blade 2.
- the inclined planes 75, 85 of said lugs 74, 84 and said inclined planes 22 of the free end 20 of the first movable blade 2 respectively cooperate to lift the first movable blade 2 relative to the fixed blade 1 and release said blade 2 from the action of the elastic locking means by disengaging the detent ball 6 of the stud 9.
- the first and second movable blades 2, 3 are unfolded relative to the fixed blade 1.
- the first movable blade 2 is folded over the fixed blade 1 to be brought into its first locked position relative to said fixed blade 1, in which position the elastic locking means keep folded on said fixed blade 1.
- the first movable blade 2 is folded over the fixed blade 1 until the detent ball 6 of the free end 20 of the first movable blade 2 cooperates with the stud 9 fixed on the support 12 of the fixed blade 1, to lock the first movable blade 2 in its first locked position.
- the second movable blade 3 is then folded over the fixed blade 1. As described above, by folding the second movable blade 3 on the fixed blade 1, the shoulder 31 of the free end 30 of the second movable blade 3 come into contact respectively against the rounded flanks 73, 83 of the pushers 7, 8. A force exerted on the second movable blade 3 parallel to the pivot axes 70, 80 of the pushers 7, 8 and directed towards the support 12 rotates said pushers 7, 9 against the action of their respective return spring 71, 81 following the cooperation of the shoulder 31 of the second movable blade 3 and the rounded flanks 73, 83 of the pushers 7, 8. The second movable blade 3 can then be fully folded over the fixed blade 1 and the pushers 7, 8 resume their rest position under the action of their respective return spring 71, 81, rest position in which they now cover the shoulders 31 preventing the deployment of the second movable blade 3.
- the second locking means consist of a covering of a part of the first movable blade 2 by the second movable blade 3.
- the free end 20 of the first movable blade 2 has a projection 23 intended to to become housed in a clearance 32 of the free end of the second movable blade 3.
- the free end 30 of the second movable blade 3 partly covers the free end 20 of the first movable blade 2 when said first movable blade 2 is in its locked position relative to the fixed blade and the second movable blade 3 is folded over the fixed blade 1.
- the second movable blade 3 is held in its folded position by the pushers 7, 8 which cover the shoulders 31 of said second movable blade 3 and the first movable blade 2 is held in its locked position at the both by the resilient locking means and by the covering of the second movable blade 3. Therefore, in the locked position of the clasp, a force exerted on the first movable blade 2 and directed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said blade towards the outside of the clasp fails to unfold said blade, and in particular fails to release the first movable blade resilient locking means.
- the locking of the clasp is particularly safe: indeed, once the clasp is locked, the first and second movable blades 2, 3 can not be deployed by the action of a force exerted on said blades and directed essentially parallel to the pivot axes 70, 80 of the pushers 7, 8 and away from the support 12 nor by the action of a force exerted on said blades and directed substantially parallel to their longitudinal axis.
- the pivoting of the pushers 7, 8 has two simultaneous effects which have been described separately above: first, the lugs 74, 84 of the pushers 7, 8 cooperate with the inclined planes 22 of the free end 20 of the first movable blade 2 to lift it and release the elastic locking means, that is to say disengage the latching ball 6 of the stud 9 carried by the support 12. At the same time, from the pivoting of the pushers 7, 8 against their respective return spring 71, 81, the shoulder 31 of the free end 30 of the second movable blade 3 are no longer covered by said pushers 7, 8 and the second movable blade is free to be unfolded.
- the first movable blade 2 raised by the lugs 74, 84 of the pushers 7, 8 then drives with it the second movable blade 3 by the cooperation between the projection 23 of the free end 20 of the first blade 2 and the clearance 32 of the free end 30 of the second movable blade 3.
- simultaneous pressing of the two pushers 7, 8 allows to release simultaneously and in one operation the first and second movable blades 2, 3.
- the disengagement of the latching ball of the stud 9 at the moment of unlocking the clasp eject the first movable blade 2 and the second movable blade 3 simultaneously from the fixed blade.
- no other action than the simultaneous pressing of the two pushers 7, 8 is necessary to unlock the clasp and in particular to separate the first and second movable blades 2, 3 of the fixed blade 1.
- the clasp according to the invention may not include elastic locking means for holding the first movable blade 2 in its folded position on the fixed blade 1 when the second movable blade 3 is unfolded.
- locking the clasp is less easy since once the first movable blade 2 folded on the fixed blade 1, nothing maintains said first movable blade 2 in this position until the second movable blade 3 is at his turn folded on the fixed blade.
- the absence of elastic locking means does not influence the unlocking of a clasp according to this variant which is in all respects similar to that described above.
- a clasp according to this variant therefore has the same advantages as the clasp described above as to its unlocking.
- the resilient locking means could comprise two detent balls each located on a lateral side of the first movable blade 2 and cooperating with respective notches present on the inner sides of the longitudinal members 10, 11 of the fixed blade.
- the other components of a clasp according to this variant, its locking and unlocking are in all respects similar to those described above.
- the clasp according to the invention could have only one pusher 7 pivotally mounted on the support 12. Said single pusher would be in this variant completely similar to one of the pushers 7, 8 described in the form of execution above.
- the modifications implied by such a variant for the other components of the clasp, its locking and unlocking will be clear to those skilled in the art.
- the clasp according to the invention has many advantages.
- the clasp being shaped to "eject" simultaneously the two movable blades 2, 3 when the user simultaneously presses the two pushers 7, 8, the unlocking of the clasp is greatly facilitated and is done in one operation for the user: it is indeed not necessary to dislodge manually one of the movable blades 2, 3.
- the clasp according to the invention comprises few parts thus reducing its size and making it suitable for any type of bracelet.
- the parts that compose it are easily achievable by a plastic deformation process for example also facilitating the miniaturization of the clasp.

La présente invention a pour objet un fermoir à boucle déployante et notamment un fermoir à boucle déployante pour bracelet de montre.The present invention relates to a clasp with a folding clasp and in particular a clasp with a folding clasp for a watch strap.
Un fermoir de ce type est connu du document
Le but de la prĂ©sente invention est la rĂ©alisation d'un fermoir Ă boucle dĂ©ployante dont le dĂ©verrouillage est simplifiĂ© et aisĂ©ment mis en oeuvre mĂªme pour le porteur du bracelet ou tout autre objet comprenant le fermoir. Un autre but de la prĂ©sente invention est la rĂ©alisation d'un fermoir Ă boucle dĂ©ployante Ă©vitant tout dĂ©verrouillage intempestif. La prĂ©sente invention a Ă©galement pour but la rĂ©alisation d'un fermoir de construction simple comprenant un petit nombre d'Ă©lĂ©ments.The object of the present invention is the production of a clasp with folding clasp whose unlocking is simplified and easily implemented even for the wearer of the bracelet or any other object comprising the clasp. Another object of the present invention is the production of a clasp folding clasp avoiding inadvertent unlocking. The present invention also aims to provide a clasp of simple construction comprising a small number of elements.
La présente invention a pour objet un fermoir déployant comprenant une lame fixe, une première lame dépliante articulée à une première extrémité de la lame fixe et une seconde lame dépliante articulée à une seconde extrémité de la lame fixe, et au moins un poussoir monté pivotant autour d'un axe de pivotement sur la lame fixe contre l'action d'une force élastique de rappel, le fermoir présentant les caractéristiques suivantes :
- les première et seconde lames dépliantes sont agencées pour qu'une fois repliées sur la lame fixe, la seconde lame dépliante recouvre en partie la première lame dépliante, de manière à ce que, à partir de leur position repliée sur la lame fixe, tout déploiement de la première lame dépliante entraîne un déploiement de la seconde lame dépliante ;
- le poussoir et la seconde lame dĂ©pliante sont agencĂ©s pour que lorsque la seconde lame dĂ©pliante est repliĂ©e sur la lame fixe, ladite seconde lame dĂ©pliante vienne en butĂ©e contre le poussoir et pour qu'une force exercĂ©e sur ladite lame dĂ©pliante essentiellement parallèlement Ă l'axe de pivotement du poussoir et dirigĂ©e vers la lame fixe entraĂ®ne le pivotement du poussoir d'une première amplitude amenant ledit poussoir dans une première position oĂ¹ la seconde lame dĂ©pliante n'est plus en butĂ©e contre ledit poussoir et peut Ăªtre rabattue complètement sur la lame fixe et pour que le poussoir rappelĂ© depuis ladite première position dans sa position initiale de repos par la force Ă©lastique de rappel empĂªche tout mouvement de la seconde lame dĂ©pliante par rapport Ă la lame fixe ;
- le poussoir prĂ©sente encore des moyens de dĂ©verrouillage agencĂ©s pour que, lorsque les première et seconde lames dĂ©pliantes sont repliĂ©es sur la lame fixe, la seconde lame dĂ©pliante recouvrant une partie de la première et Ă©tant verrouillĂ©e par le poussoir, un pivotement du poussoir contre l'action de la force Ă©lastique d'une seconde amplitude, plus grande que la première amplitude amène ledit poussoir dans une seconde position dans laquelle le poussoir n'empĂªche plus le dĂ©ploiement de la seconde lame dĂ©pliante et dans laquelle lesdits moyens de dĂ©verrouillage coopèrent avec la première lame dĂ©pliante pour la soulever et l'Ă©carter de la lame fixe entraĂ®nant avec elle la seconde lame dĂ©pliante.
- the first and second folding blades are arranged so that when folded on the fixed blade, the second folding blade partially covers the first folding blade, so that, from their folded position on the fixed blade, any deployment the first folding blade causes a deployment of the second folding blade;
- the pusher and the second folding blade are arranged so that when the second folding blade is folded over the fixed blade, said second folding blade comes into abutment against the pusher and for a force exerted on said folding blade substantially parallel to the axis pivoting the pusher and directed towards the fixed blade causes the pivoting of the pusher of a first amplitude bringing said pusher in a first position where the second folding leaf is no longer in abutment against said pusher and can be folded completely on the fixed blade and for the pusher recalled from said first position to its initial rest position by the elastic return force prevents any movement of the second folding blade relative to the fixed blade;
- the pusher still has unlocking means arranged so that, when the first and second folding blades are folded over the fixed blade, the second folding blade covering a portion of the first and being locked by the pusher, a pivoting of the pusher against the action of the elastic force of a second amplitude, greater than the first amplitude brings said pusher in a second position in which the pusher no longer prevents the deployment of the second folding blade and wherein said unlocking means cooperate with the first folding blade to lift it and away from the fixed blade taking with it the second folding blade.

De prĂ©fĂ©rence, la lame fixe 1 prĂ©sente deux longerons 10, 11 essentiellement parallèles. La première lame mobile 2 est articulĂ©e Ă des premières extrĂ©mitĂ©s 10a, 11a des longerons 10, 11 de la lame fixe 1, tandis que la seconde lame mobile 3 est articulĂ©e Ă des secondes extrĂ©mitĂ©s 10b, 11 b des longerons 10, 11 de la lame fixe 1. Les première et seconde lames mobiles 2, 3 sont articulĂ©es Ă la lame fixe 1 au moyen par exemple de barrettes de fixation 41 et de rivets de fixation 42. Il est Ă©vident que tout autre moyen d'articulation appropriĂ© et connu de l'homme du mĂ©tier pourrait Ăªtre utilisĂ© pour articuler les lames mobiles 2, 3 Ă la lame fixe 1.Preferably, the
De prĂ©fĂ©rence, la lame fixe 1, en particulier les longerons 10, 11 et les première et seconde lames mobiles 2, 3 sont conformĂ©s de sorte que les première et seconde lames mobiles 2, 3 puissent Ăªtre rabattues sur la lame fixe 1 entre les longerons 10, 11 de ladite lame fixe 1 de manière Ă ce qu'une fois repliĂ©es, les lames fixe et mobiles 1, 2, 3 soient essentiellement dans le mĂªme plan et que leur Ă©paisseur ne dĂ©passe pas celle de la lame fixe 1 (voir
La lame fixe 1 prĂ©sente encore un support 12 situĂ© entre les longerons 10, 11. De prĂ©fĂ©rence et dans la forme d'exĂ©cution illustrĂ©e, les longerons 10, 11 et le support 12 formant la lame fixe 1 sont venus d'une seule pièce obtenue par exemple par un procĂ©dĂ© de dĂ©formation plastique. En variante, le support 12 pourrait Ăªtre vissĂ©, soudĂ© ou fixĂ© de toute autre manière appropriĂ©e aux longerons 10, 11.The
Deux poussoirs 7, 8 sont montés pivotants sur le support 12. Chacun des deux poussoirs 7, 8 pivote autour d'un axe de pivotement respectif 70, 80 fixé sur le support 12 au moyen de vis 43 par exemple. De plus, chacun des poussoirs 7, 8 est monté pivotant sur le support 12 de la lame fixe 1 de manière indépendante contre l'action d'une force élastique indépendante. Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, la force élastique indépendante est constituée par des ressorts de rappel 71, 81. De préférence, les ressorts de rappel 71, 81 sont des ressorts à flexion du type « épingle ».Two
Chaque poussoir 7, 8 présente un rebord 72, 82 coopérant respectivement avec une butée 13, 14 du support 12 de la lame fixe 1 pour limiter la rotation des poussoirs 7, 8. Les ressorts de rappel 71, 81, les rebords 72, 82 des poussoirs 7, 8 et les butées 13, 14 du support 12 de la lame fixe 1 sont conformés de sorte que sous l'action desdits ressorts 71, 81, les rebords 72, 82 viennent en contact avec les butées 13, 14 respectivement. Cette position des poussoirs 7, 8 en appui contre les butées 13, 14 constitue leur position de repos. Ainsi, en position de repos des poussoirs 7, 8, une pression sur chacun desdits poussoirs 7, 8 exercée par un utilisateur perpendiculairement à leur axe de pivotement 70, 80 en direction de l'intérieur des longerons 10, 11 de la lame fixe 1 fait pivoter chaque poussoir 7, 8 dans une direction unique contre l'action de leur ressort de rappel 71, 81.Each
Chacune des première et seconde lames mobiles 2, 3 prĂ©sente une extrĂ©mitĂ© libre 20, 30. Ces extrĂ©mitĂ©s libres 20, 30 comprennent chacune des moyens de fixation 44 permettant de relier les première et seconde lames mobiles 2, 3 Ă un brin de bracelet, notamment aux deux brins d'un bracelet de montre (non illustrĂ©). De manière Ă©vidente pour l'homme du mĂ©tier, ce bracelet peut Ăªtre Ă©lastique ou non, en cuir ou en mĂ©tal ou avoir toute autre forme appropriĂ©e.Each of the first and second
L'extrémité libre 20 de la première lame mobile 2 présente une ouverture 21 dans laquelle est logée une bille d'encliquetage 6. Cette bille d'encliquetage 6 est destinée à coopérer avec un plot 9 fixé sur le support 12 de la lame fixe 1 au moyen d'une vis 45 par exemple. L'ouverture 21, la bille d'encliquetage 6 et le plot 9 forment des moyens de verrouillage élastiques conformés pour maintenir la première lame mobile 2 dans sa position repliée sur la lame fixe 1. Cette position de la première lame mobile 2 dans laquelle elle est maintenue repliée sur la lame fixe 1 par les moyens de verrouillage élastiques constitue une première position verrouillée de la première lame mobile 2 par rapport à la lame fixe 1. Pour déployer à nouveau la première lame mobile 2 depuis sa première position verrouillée, il faut appliquer à ladite lame mobile 2 une force dirigée essentiellement perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de ladite lame vers l'extérieur du fermoir (en s'éloignant de la lame fixe 1) pour désencliqueter la bille d'encliquetage 6 du plot 9.The
L'extrĂ©mitĂ© libre 30 de la seconde lame mobile 3 prĂ©sente quant Ă elle deux Ă©paulements 31 disposĂ©s latĂ©ralement de part et d'autre de la lame mobile 3 (un seul Ă©paulement est clairement visible sur les figures). Ces Ă©paulements 31 peuvent par exemple Ăªtre obtenus par dĂ©coupe dans la seconde lame mobile 3. Ces Ă©paulements 31 sont destinĂ©s Ă coopĂ©rer respectivement avec un flanc arrondi 73, 83 de chacun des poussoirs 7, 8. Les Ă©paulement 31 et les flancs arrondis 73, 83 des poussoirs 7, 8 sont conformĂ©s de sorte que lorsque la seconde lame mobile 3 est repliĂ©e sur la lame fixe 1, les deux Ă©paulements 31 viennent respectivement en contact avec les flancs arrondis 73, 83 des poussoirs 7, 8. Lorsqu'une pression est exercĂ©e sur la seconde lame mobile 3 selon une direction essentiellement parallèle aux axes de pivotement 70, 80 respectifs des poussoirs 7, 8, lesdits Ă©paulements 31 de la seconde lame mobile 3 coopèrent chacun avec un flanc arrondi 73, 83 des poussoirs 7, 8 pour faire pivoter lesdits poussoirs 7, 8 contre l'action de leur ressort de rappel respectif 71, 81. Lors de ce pivotement des poussoirs 7, 8, les Ă©paulements 31 ne sont alors plus en butĂ©e contre les flancs arrondis 73, 83 desdits poussoirs 7, 8 et la seconde lame mobile 3 peut Ăªtre entièrement repliĂ©e sur la lame fixe 1. Les poussoirs 7, 8, qui ne sont plus bloquĂ©s par la seconde lame mobile 3 et ses Ă©paulement 31 pivotent alors sous l'action de leur ressort de rappel 71, 81 respectif pour retrouver leur position de repos. En pivotant pour reprendre leur position de repos, les poussoirs 7, 8 viennent recouvrir lesdits Ă©paulement 31 empĂªchant tout mouvement de la seconde lame mobile 3 par rapport Ă la lame fixe 1 et en particulier son dĂ©ploiement.The
Les poussoirs 7, 8 comprennent encore chacun un ergot 74, 84 présentant respectivement un plan incliné 75, 85. Les ergots 74, 84 sont destinés à coopérer avec l'extrémité libre 20 de la première lame mobile 2 pour libérer celle-ci de sa première position verrouillée par rapport à la lame fixe 1. Dans la première position verrouillée de la première lame mobile 2 par rapport à la lame fixe, en faisant pivoter les poussoirs 7, 8 contre l'action de leur ressort de rappel 71, 81 respectif, lesdits ergots 74, 84 viennent en contact avec des plans inclinés 22 de l'extrémité libre 20 de la première lame fixe 2. Les plans inclinés 75, 85 desdits ergots 74, 84 et lesdits plans inclinés 22 de l'extrémité libre 20 de la première lame mobile 2 coopèrent respectivement pour soulever la première lame mobile 2 par rapport à la lame fixe 1 et libérer ladite lame 2 de l'action des moyens de verrouillage élastiques en désencliquetant la bille d'encliquetage 6 du plot 9.The
Le verrouillage du fermoir selon l'invention va maintenant Ăªtre dĂ©crit en rĂ©fĂ©rence aux

Comme dĂ©crit plus haut, en repliant la seconde lame mobile 3 sur la lame fixe 1, les Ă©paulement 31 de l'extrĂ©mitĂ© libre 30 de la seconde lame mobile 3 viennent en contact contre respectivement les flancs arrondis 73, 83 des poussoirs 7, 8. Une force exercĂ©e sur la seconde lame mobile 3 parallèlement aux axes de pivotement 70, 80 des poussoirs 7, 8 et dirigĂ©e vers le support 12 fait pivoter lesdits poussoirs 7, 9 contre l'action de leur ressort de rappel respectif 71, 81 suite Ă la coopĂ©ration des Ă©paulement 31 de la seconde lame mobile 3 et des flancs arrondis 73, 83 des poussoirs 7, 8. La seconde lame mobile 3 peut alors Ăªtre entièrement repliĂ©e sur la lame fixe 1 et les poussoirs 7, 8 reprennent leur position de repos sous l'action de leur ressort de rappel 71, 81 respectif, position de repos dans laquelle ils recouvrent dĂ©sormais les Ă©paulements 31 empĂªchant le dĂ©ploiement de la seconde lame mobile 3.The second
Afin de garantir un bon verrouillage du fermoir et en particulier de la première lame mobile 2 des seconds moyens de verrouillage de la première lame mobile 2 sont prévus en plus des moyens de verrouillage élastiques. Ces seconds moyens de verrouillage consistent en un recouvrement d'une partie de la première lame mobile 2 par la seconde lame mobile 3. Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, l'extrémité libre 20 de la première lame mobile 2 présente une saillie 23 destinée à venir se loger dans un dégagement 32 de l'extrémité libre de la seconde lame mobile 3. Ainsi, l'extrémité libre 30 de la seconde lame mobile 3 recouvre en partie l'extrémité libre 20 de la première lame mobile 2 lorsque ladite première lame mobile 2 est dans sa position verrouillée par rapport à la lame fixe et que la seconde lame mobile 3 est repliée sur la lame fixe 1.In order to ensure a good locking of the clasp and in particular of the first
Ainsi, une fois le fermoir verrouillé, la seconde lame mobile 3 est maintenue dans sa position repliée par les poussoirs 7, 8 qui recouvrent les épaulements 31 de ladite seconde lame mobile 3 et la première lame mobile 2 est maintenue dans sa position verrouillée à la fois par les moyens de verrouillage élastiques et par le recouvrement de la seconde lame mobile 3. Par conséquent, dans la position verrouillée du fermoir, une force exercée sur la première lame mobile 2 et dirigée essentiellement perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de ladite lame vers l'extérieur du fermoir ne parvient pas à déplier ladite lame, et en particulier ne parvient pas à libérer la première lame mobile des moyens de verrouillage élastiques.Thus, once the clasp is locked, the second
Pour assurer un bon fonctionnement du fermoir, il est nĂ©cessaire que la rotation des poussoirs 7, 8 engendrĂ©e par la pression des Ă©paulement 31 de la seconde lame mobile 3 contre les flancs arrondis 73, 83 des poussoirs 7, 8 ne soit pas suffisante pour amener les ergots 74, 84 en contact avec les flancs inclinĂ©s 22 de la première lame mobile. Dans le cas contraire, le verrouillage de la seconde lame mobile 3 entraĂ®nerait alors simultanĂ©ment le dĂ©verrouillage de la première lame mobile 2 et le fermoir ne pourrait jamais Ăªtre verrouillĂ©.To ensure proper operation of the clasp, it is necessary that the rotation of the
De par sa construction, le verrouillage du fermoir est particulièrement sĂ»r : en effet, une fois le fermoir verrouillĂ©, les première et seconde lames mobiles 2, 3 ne peuvent Ăªtre dĂ©ployĂ©es ni par l'action d'une force exercĂ©e sur lesdites lames et dirigĂ©e essentiellement parallèlement aux axes de pivotement 70, 80 des poussoirs 7, 8 et s'Ă©loignant du support 12 ni par l'action d'une force exercĂ©e sur lesdites lames et dirigĂ©e essentiellement parallèlement Ă leur axe longitudinal.By its construction, the locking of the clasp is particularly safe: indeed, once the clasp is locked, the first and second
Le dĂ©verrouillage du fermoir selon l'invention va maintenant Ăªtre dĂ©crit en dĂ©tail en rĂ©fĂ©rence aux
A partir de la position verrouillée du fermoir illustrée à la
Le pivotement des poussoirs 7, 8 a deux effets simultanĂ©s qui ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©crits sĂ©parĂ©ment ci-dessus : d'abord, les ergots 74, 84 des poussoirs 7, 8 viennent coopĂ©rer avec les plans inclinĂ©s 22 de l'extrĂ©mitĂ© libre 20 de la première lame mobile 2 pour soulever celle-ci et la libĂ©rer des moyens de verrouillage Ă©lastiques, c'est-Ă -dire dĂ©sencliqueter la bille d'encliquetage 6 du plot 9 portĂ© par le support 12. Dans le mĂªme temps, de part le pivotement des poussoirs 7, 8 contre leur ressort de rappel respectif 71, 81, les Ă©paulement 31 de l'extrĂ©mitĂ© libre 30 de la seconde lame mobile 3 ne sont plus recouverts par lesdits poussoirs 7, 8 et la seconde lame mobile est donc libre d'Ăªtre dĂ©pliĂ©e.The pivoting of the
La première lame mobile 2 soulevĂ©e par les ergots 74, 84 des poussoirs 7, 8 entraĂ®ne alors avec elle la seconde lame mobile 3 de par la coopĂ©ration entre la saillie 23 de l'extrĂ©mitĂ© libre 20 de la première lame 2 et le dĂ©gagement 32 de l'extrĂ©mitĂ© libre 30 de la seconde lame mobile 3. Ainsi, une pression simultanĂ©e des deux poussoirs 7, 8 permet de libĂ©rer en mĂªme temps et en une opĂ©ration les premières et secondes lames mobiles 2, 3. De plus, dans la prĂ©sente forme d'exĂ©cution, le dĂ©sencliquetage de la bille d'encliquetage du plot 9 au moment du dĂ©verrouillage du fermoir Ă©jectent la première lame mobile 2 et la seconde lame mobile 3 simultanĂ©ment de la lame fixe. Ainsi, aucune autre action que la pression simultanĂ©e des deux poussoirs 7, 8 n'est nĂ©cessaire pour dĂ©verrouiller le fermoir et en particulier dĂ©solidariser les première et seconde lames mobiles 2, 3 de la lame fixe 1.The first
La prĂ©sente forme d'exĂ©cution a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©crite Ă tire d'exemple uniquement. En variante, le fermoir selon l'invention pourrait ne pas comprendre de moyens Ă©lastiques de verrouillage permettant de maintenir la première lame mobile 2 dans sa position repliĂ©e sur la lame fixe 1 lorsque la seconde lame mobile 3 est dĂ©pliĂ©e. Dans ce cas, le verrouillage du fermoir est moins aisĂ© puisqu'une fois la première lame mobile 2 repliĂ©e sur la lame fixe 1, rien ne maintient ladite première lame mobile 2 dans cette position jusqu'Ă ce que la seconde lame mobile 3 soit Ă son tour rabattue sur la lame fixe. Cependant, l'absence de moyens de verrouillage Ă©lastiques n'influence pas le dĂ©verrouillage d'un fermoir selon cette variante qui est en tout point similaire Ă celui dĂ©crit plus haut. Un fermoir selon cette variante prĂ©sente donc les mĂªmes avantages que le fermoir dĂ©crit plus haut quant Ă son dĂ©verrouillage.The present embodiment has been described by way of example only. Alternatively, the clasp according to the invention may not include elastic locking means for holding the first
En variante également, les moyens de verrouillage élastiques pourraient comprendre deux billes d'encliquetage situées chacune sur un flanc latéral de la première lame mobile 2 et coopérant avec des encoches respectives présentes sur les flancs intérieurs des longerons 10, 11 de la lame fixe. Les autres composants d'un fermoir selon cette variante, son verrouillage et son déverrouillage sont en tout point similaire à ceux décrits ci-dessus.Alternatively also, the resilient locking means could comprise two detent balls each located on a lateral side of the first
En variante encore, le fermoir selon l'invention pourrait ne présenter qu'un seul poussoir 7 monté pivotant sur le support 12. Ledit poussoir unique serait dans cette variante en tout point similaire à un des poussoirs 7, 8 décrit dans la forme d'exécution ci-dessus. Les modifications qu'implique une telle variante pour les autres composants du fermoir, son verrouillage et son déverrouillage apparaîtront clairement à l'homme du métier.In another variant, the clasp according to the invention could have only one
Le fermoir selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages. Le fermoir étant conformé pour « éjecter » simultanément les deux lames mobiles 2, 3 lorsque l'utilisateur presse simultanément les deux poussoirs 7, 8, le déverrouillage du fermoir s'en trouve grandement facilité et ne se fait qu'en une seule opération pour l'utilisateur : il n'est en effet pas nécessaire de déloger manuellement une des lames mobiles 2, 3. Enfin, le fermoir selon l'invention comprend peu de pièces réduisant ainsi son encombrement et le rendant adapté pour tout type de bracelet. De plus, les pièces qui le composent sont facilement réalisables par un procédé de déformation plastique par exemple facilitant également la miniaturisation du fermoir.The clasp according to the invention has many advantages. The clasp being shaped to "eject" simultaneously the two
