Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a particular link for a wristwatch.
  • the present invention also relates to a fastening system of a bracelet strand to a clasp comprising such a link.
  • clasps known as folding clasp, which allow easy donning the watch when the buckle is deployed, and then tighten the wrist in the closed position.
  • This type of clasp generally comprises a metal cover closing over unfolding blades, one end of which is attached to the end of one of the strands of the bracelet, while the end of the other strand is attached to a strap. end of the lid.
  • the clasp can be locked with a push mechanism acting in a transverse direction.
  • Such clasps are often used in combination with bracelets whose strands are formed by rows of articulated metal links.
  • the adjustment of the length of the bracelet is effected by removing one or more links at the end of one or more strands before attaching these ends to the clasp.
  • the adjustment of the length is generally done simply by cutting a desired length of bracelet at the attachment end of the strand, before then connecting this end of the strand to the clasp or a connecting part of the clasp.
  • This simple solution requires, however, to adapt the clasp or at least one attachment part of the clasp to the strand to partly hide the visible edge of the strand, and secondly prevent the rotation of the end of this strand by relative to the clasp, to prevent the edge of the strand protrudes from the skin of the user and makes the use of such a bracelet particularly inconvenient.
  • the above length adjustment by simple cutting for a bracelet plastic can not therefore be made without changing the structure of the clasp, which prevents the use of the same clasps for plastic bracelets or leather, or even metal or ceramic, and therefore causes considerable productivity losses.
  • clasp systems suitable for any type of bracelet that is to say, leather, fabric, plastic or metal, such as the clasp described in the document EP0081616 .
  • the ends of the strands 9,13 of the bracelet can be fixed by means of bars 10,14 in different pairs of holes 7,11 of tubular pieces 1,2 in the form of an arc of circle s' engaging one in the other to define a nominal length for the bracelet, while the locking, provided by the cooperation of a rack 6 and an elastic member 23, allows a quick and easy fine adjustment.
  • This type of clasp however, has a complex structure, difficult to machine, and raises reliability problems in the lock compared to conventional clasps folding clasp.
  • Special devices are also known for attaching a strand of a bracelet to a clasp of the folding clasp type, such as for example the system described in the Swiss patent. CH689534 , according to which pins 13,14 are respectively arranged before a loop 19 of the clasp and on one of the blades of the folding clasp to cooperate with the perforations 21-26 of a strand 6 of the bracelet.
  • This type of device is, however, suitable only for perforated strand bracelets and modifies the structure of the folding clasp of the clasp, which considerably limits the possibilities of use.
  • An object of the present invention is in particular to provide a solution for the simple adjustment of the length of any type of bracelet, including rubber bracelets, without requiring significant structural changes at the clasp or fastening system clasp .
  • a device for attaching a clasp to a bracelet strand comprising a fastening piece and such a link disposed between the fastening piece and the end of the strand, characterized in that a first inner surface of the upper wing a first inner surface of the lower wing and a first side wall of the core of the link form a first housing for one end of the strand, a second inner surface of the upper wing, a second inner surface of the lower wing and a second side wall of the web of the link form a second housing for a central part of the attachment part, the upper wing of the link covering the end of the strand and the part central part of the attachment.
  • An advantage conferred by the link according to the invention relates to the improvement of the overall aesthetic of the watch and the wearing comfort of the user of the watch.
  • Another advantage of the proposed solution is to provide a simple, easily machinable and low cost part that can accommodate different types of bracelets and clasps.
  • An additional advantage of the proposed solution is to introduce a very simple intermediate piece between the end of a strand of the bracelet and a fastener of a clasp, instead of acting on one or the other. of these parts to provide benefits in terms of comfort and aesthetics.
  • the figure 1 illustrates an example of a modified attachment piece 2, known from the prior art, clasp folding clasp and intended for use with a rubber strap.
  • the clasp 3 shown conventionally comprises two folding blades which occupy only one thickness in the folded position, here a stretcher 31 formed of two arms between which is housed a central blade (not shown because the clasp is shown in the deployed position) .
  • the stretcher 31 is mounted movably about a connecting axis to a part of the clasp, which itself is hingedly connected to an attachment part of the strand 2.
  • the axis of rotation between the clasp 3 and the workpiece attachment of the strand 2 is embodied by the reference 21 in this figure.
  • the end of a strand 1 of the bracelet is connected to the attachment piece 2 by means of a bar 22.
  • a masking surface 20 is arranged on an upper face of the attachment piece 2.
  • another masking surface is similarly arranged on the underside the attachment piece (not visible in this figure).
  • This modified fastener 2 nevertheless requires a dedicated manufacturing method: it can thus be formed for example from a uniform metal plate stamped and then folded to form respectively the upper masking surface 20 and the lateral faces in which are machined then holes for housing the ends of the bar 22, while a plate forming a lower cover is fixed for example by welding to form the lower masking surface. It is also possible to cut and then fold the fastener piece in one piece and make the lower part to hide the underside of the strand by two folded ends which are welded to their joint. In both cases, the stamping requires complex tools making the production costs very high; moreover, the welding operation which increases the overall cost and the piece slows down the manufacturing process.
  • fastener comprising the upper and lower masking surfaces and the side faces directly in the mass, but such a production method would be even more expensive because of the loss of material caused.
  • machining any piece of open traditional fastener, that is to say without upper and lower masking surfaces, are required to prevent any locking of the last links or the winding of the leather at the axis of attachment, that is to say say the bar 22 in the illustrated example.
  • This link according to the invention is preferably interposed between the end of the strand 1 and the attachment piece 2, so that it is no longer necessary to modify this attachment 2.
  • the figure 2 shows an example of a preferred variant of such an intermediate link 4 interposed between the end of the strand 11 of a rubber strap and the attachment part 2 to the clasp 3.
  • This link comprises a central core 41, which connects a lower wing 42 and an upper wing 43 whose functions are respectively identical to those of the masking surfaces of the modified attachment piece of the figure 1 : the upper wing 43 masks the wafer 111 of the end of the strand, since only the upper surface 431 of this wing is visible to the eyes of the user, while the lower wing 42 prevents the rotation of the strand around the bar 22 in the direction tending to bring the edge 11 of the end of the strand 1 into contact with the skin of the user.
  • the wings can be understood by those skilled in the art as pieces whose two dimensions are much greater than the third, as is the case here in view of the ratio between their length, width and thickness. Most of these different parameters determining the shape of the link 4 according to the invention will be described in more detail using the Figure 4B .
  • the intermediate link 4 does not include a clean fixing element around an axis, unlike a traditional bracelet link forming part of an articulated chain, but it is maintained, thanks to its particular shape having an H-shaped section. truncated, between the bar 22 for fixing the strand 1 of the bracelet and a central portion 23 of the attachment piece 2, whose lateral surface 232 and upper 231 are visible.
  • the assembly of the link 4 is performed by inserting the first flanks 413 of the central core 41 between the side faces 24, whose inner surfaces 241 act as guide surfaces.
  • the link 4 is thus caused to slide, along the parallel side faces 24 of the attachment piece 2, to the lateral surface 232 of the attachment piece 2, against which the right side wall 412 of the soul 41 of the link comes to a stop.
  • the wafer 111 of the end of the strand 1 is brought into abutment against the side wall left 411 of the soul 41 of the link.
  • the bar 22 is then inserted into the last of the through holes 116 arranged in the strand 1 to the wafer 111 of the end 11 of the strand 1 of the bracelet, whose length has for example been determined by cutting, and the bar is finally inserted into the pair of holes 221 of the attachment piece 2.
  • This insertion of the bar 22 allows one hand to fix the strand 1 of the bracelet to the room d 2, and therefore indirectly to the clasp 3, and secondly parallel to close the space in which the link 4 has been inserted. The latter is therefore maintained between the central portion 23 of the attachment piece 2 and the end of the strand 11, fixed around the bar 22, without requiring any additional fastening element.
  • the second flanks 423 of the lower flange 42 and the third flanks 433 of the upper flange 43 have been arranged in the same plane as that of the first flanks 413 of the link core. 41.
  • the clasp 3 used in the context of the invention may be a clasp with a conventional folding clasp, as shown in FIG. figure 2 and which comprises an elongated cover 30 masking the folding blades, articulated about a common connecting pin 35, in the locked position.
  • Pushers 34 are arranged on the lateral faces 33 of the cover for unlocking and holes 36 are also arranged on the lateral faces 33 of the clasp to insert fastening strips to a 2nd wristband strand whose length is not necessarily adjustable.
  • the folding blades respectively consist of a stretcher 31 comprising two arms and a central blade 32 which is housed inside the two arms of the stretcher 31 in the folded position.
  • the attachment piece 2 is here connected to the stretcher 31 via the attachment pin 21 to the clasp, while the central blade 32 is connected to the lid 30 of the clasp 3 via an axis.
  • the central blade 32 and the stretcher 31 could also be reversed by connecting the central blade 32 to the fastening axis 21 of the clasp and the stretcher to the lid 30 via the connecting pin 37.
  • the lid 30 of the clasp 3 has a protruding portion 301 extending to the left, that is to say towards the attachment piece 2.
  • the upper wing 43 of the link 4 comprises a notch 434 of corresponding shape, so that there is no overlap between the link 4 and the clasp 3.
  • the correspondence of the shapes of the notch 434 of the upper wing 43 of the link and that of the protruding portion is particularly visible on the figure 3 , which shows a top view of a strand of bracelet 1, the intermediate link of the invention 4, the attachment part 2 and the clasp 3 in the assembled and locked position.
  • the visible space between the attachment part 2 and the clasp 3 is always at least partially masked, which has an aesthetic advantage.
  • the cooperation of nonlinear shapes of the upper wing of the link 43 and cover 30 around the attachment axis 21 has the advantage, compared to the linear form for example of the left part of the upper wing 43 of the link 4, to be more difficult to pinch external elements, such as wear fabric worn by the user of the watch, because of the curved joint area between the gripping surfaces which tends to print a rotational movement and thus to reliberate what has been grasped.
  • the notch 434 also creates an asymmetry between the left part and the right part of the upper wing 43 which allows to correctly orient the link for assembly and thus simplify the assembly operations, especially when they are done manually .
  • the link 4 is preferably made of injected or molded plastic material, which allows to produce it easily and at low cost, because of the simplicity of the tooling required and the material used, and also makes it easy to associate its color to that of the bracelet if necessary. Furthermore, its elastic properties of flexibility are advantageous for the insertion of the end of the strand 1 on the attachment part 2, as will be seen later with the help of Figures 4A and 4B and therefore the mounting of the link which does not require a press fit with a high intensity, difficult to achieve without tools, such as for metal parts.
  • the plastic material may be replaced by an elastomer, still more flexible, and allowing a better nipping of the wings on the end of the strand 1.
  • the axis AA represented in this figure shows the sectional plane of the following figure 4A, as well as that of the Figure 4B which consists of an enlargement of the view of the link 4 illustrated on the Figure 4A .
  • the link 4 is arranged between the attachment piece 2 and the end 11 of the strand 1, on which are arranged different holes 116 and different pre-cutting slugs 115 of the strand 1 during the adjustment of its length.
  • the cutting is done at these openings 115 to ensure that the portion of the end of the strand 11 located beyond the hole in which will be inserted the bar 22 (visible on the figure 2 ) is not too long and frees enough space for the insertion of the link 4 between the wafer 111 of the end of the strand and the attachment piece 2, or more exactly the core 41 of the link 4, of thickness A.
  • a second inner surface of the upper wing 4322, a second inner surface of the lower flange 4222 and the right side wall 412 of the core 41 of the link 4 release a space forming a second housing for the central portion 23 of the attachment piece 2.
  • the right side wall 412 of the core is preferably brought to abut against the lateral surface 232 of the central portion 23 of the attachment piece 2 to ensure the better possible hold of the link 4 by preventing the formation of any degree of freedom in translation.
  • the upper wing 43 of the link 4 completely covers the end of the strand 11 of the bracelet, and also the central portion of the attachment piece 23, respectively by its left and right parts.
  • the lower wing 42 of the link 4 is in its contact with the skin of the user and the nip of the end of the strand 11 by the left parts respectively of the lower wings 42 and upper 43 prevents the wafer 111 of the end of the strand 11 is never brought into contact with it.
  • the comfort of the user is therefore improved because only a flat surface will always be in contact with the skin of the user, but never any edge, even at the fastener of the clasp at the end of the bracelet strand.
  • the proposed arrangement of the intermediate link 4 between the end 11 of the strand 1 of the bracelet and the attachment piece 2 thus makes it possible to obtain the same advantages as those which were previously achieved by a modified fastener, namely the masking the end of the strand 1 and the prevention of any contact of the wafer wafer with the skin of the user, without having to change any of the components of a traditional wristband-clasp assembly.
  • a modified fastener namely the masking the end of the strand 1 and the prevention of any contact of the wafer wafer with the skin of the user, without having to change any of the components of a traditional wristband-clasp assembly.
  • To the right of the Figure 4A we find the axis of attachment to the clasp 21, the connecting axis 37 of the clasp 3 to the central blade 32, visible on the figure 2 , and the cover 30, visible on the figure 3 .
  • this link prevents any contact of the wafer 111 of the end of the strand 11 with the user's skin, this link is sometimes referred to as an "anti-rotation link” because it very strongly limits the rotation of this link. end around its axis of rotation, that is to say the bar 22, visible on the figure 2 . Indeed, any rotation in one direction or the other is prevented by the left parts of the upper wing 43 and the lower wing 42.
  • the link 4 preferably comprises an upper flange 43, whose length L is equal to the sum of the length of its left part L1, the length of its straight part L2 and the thickness of the core A, and a wing 42, whose length I is similarly equal to the sum of the length of its left part I1, the length of its straight part I2 and the thickness of the core A, having different lengths, referenced respectively L and I for the upper wing 43 and the lower wing 42.

  • the lengths of the straight portions of the lower flanges I2 and upper flange L2 may also be different, with the same asymmetrical advantages evoked, but with a smaller gap in length, as in the preferred embodiment illustrated, or even identical lengths when it is not necessary to condition the rotation of the fastener 2 relative to the clasp in the direction of winding around the wrist.
  • the upper surfaces 231 and 233 of the central part 23 of the fastener part 2 serve as guiding surface for respectively the second inner surface of the upper wing 4322 of the link 4 and the second surface. internal of the lower wing 4222 of the link during the fitting of the link 4 on the central portion 23 of the fastener 2.
