Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a fastening device for interchangeable bracelets of jewelery, jewelery, leather goods or watches. It relates more specifically to a watch device comprising a middle part and a strap attached to the middle part with a removable pivoting attachment piece.
- pieces of removable fasteners for bracelet formed of two parts mounted in a through hole of the middle to form horns receiving straps for fixing a bracelet. Pressing a pusher releases the removable fasteners.
- the horns are pivoting and we are then with a double articulation with a first pivot axis which is that of the horns and a second pivot axis which is that of the fastening strip of the end of the bracelet.
- a problem of the fastening device proposed is that it is possible, on the one hand, to mount the bracelet on the fastener once it has been mounted to the middle part; on the other hand, it is necessary to arrange abutment surfaces on the axis of the parts forming the pivoting horn to prevent axial movement on their part tending to bring out the through hole in which they were introduced.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne de manière générale un dispositif d'attache pour bracelets interchangeables d'articles de joaillerie, bijouterie, maroquinerie ou horlogerie. Elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif pour montre comprenant une carrure et un bracelet fixé à la carrure à l'aide d'une pièce d'attache amovible pivotante.The present invention relates generally to a fastening device for interchangeable bracelets of jewelery, jewelery, leather goods or watches. It relates more specifically to a watch device comprising a middle part and a strap attached to the middle part with a removable pivoting attachment piece.
Dans le domaine de l'horlogerie, et plus particulièrement des montres bracelets, il est connu de fixer les extrémités d'un bracelet à la carrure à l'aide de moyens d'articulation. Pour les bracelets en cuir ou en caoutchouc formés de deux brins distincts, ces moyens d'articulation se présentent en général sous la forme d'une paire de cornes ou d'attaches sur lesquelles est fixée une barrette autour de laquelle est enroulée l'extrémité du brin du bracelet, qui peut ainsi pivoter par rapport à la carrure. Pour des bracelets en acier du type à boucle déployante, le boîtier de montre est typiquement doté d'une embase, de part et d'autre de laquelle viennent se monter des maillons de façon pivotante autour d'un axe.In the field of watchmaking, and more particularly wristwatches, it is known to fix the ends of a bracelet to the middle part by means of articulation means. For leather or rubber bracelets formed of two distinct strands, these hinge means are generally in the form of a pair of horns or fasteners on which is fixed a bar around which is wound the end the strand of the bracelet, which can rotate in relation to the middle part. For steel wristbands of the folding clasp type, the watch case is typically provided with a base, on either side of which are mounted links pivotally about an axis.
On connaît par ailleurs, par exemple du document
Néanmoins, un problème du dispositif d'attache proposé est qu'il n'est possible, d'une part, de monter le bracelet sur la pièce d'attache qu'une fois que cette dernière a été montée à la carrure; d'autre part, il est nécessaire d'aménager des surfaces de butées sur l'axe des pièces formant la corne pivotante afin d'éviter tout mouvement axial de leur part tendant à les faire ressortir du trou traversant dans lequel elles ont été introduites.Nevertheless, a problem of the fastening device proposed is that it is possible, on the one hand, to mount the bracelet on the fastener once it has been mounted to the middle part; on the other hand, it is necessary to arrange abutment surfaces on the axis of the parts forming the pivoting horn to prevent axial movement on their part tending to bring out the through hole in which they were introduced.
Il existe par conséquent un besoin pour un dispositif d'attache pour bracelet exempt de ces limitations connues.There is therefore a need for a strap attachment device free of these known limitations.
Un but de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif de fixation alternatif pour bracelet, de construction simplifiée et d'encombrement réduit tout en permettant toujours un remplacement très facile du bracelet sans requérir d'outils particuliers.An object of the present invention is to provide an alternative fixing device for bracelet, simplified construction and reduced size while still allowing a very easy replacement of the bracelet without requiring special tools.
Ces buts sont atteints notamment grâce à un dispositif de fixation comprenant les caractéristiques de la revendication principale, en particulier une pièce d'attache amovible reliée à un boîtier de façon pivotante comprenant une charnière pour l'assemblage audit boîtier.These objects are attained in particular by means of a fastening device comprising the features of the main claim, in particular a detachable attachment piece pivotally connected to a housing comprising a hinge for assembly to said housing.
Des modes de réalisation avantageux de cette montre font l'objet des revendications dépendantes.Advantageous embodiments of this watch are the subject of the dependent claims.
Un avantage de la solution proposée est qu'elle permet en particulier un montage modulaire du bracelet sur la pièce d'attache indépendamment du montage de cette dernière sur la carrure d'une montre ou tout autre type de boîtier.An advantage of the proposed solution is that it allows in particular a modular mounting of the bracelet on the attachment part regardless of the mounting of the latter on the middle of a watch or any other type of housing.
Un autre avantage de la solution proposée est qu'elle ne nécessite pas de trou traversant pour le montage de la pièce d'attache pivotante, ce qui minimise les déchets de matière et permet donc de réduire les coûts de fabrication. Par ailleurs, le dispositif d'attache est rendu plus compact, ce qui permet de le cacher totalement par exemple sous le boîtier et améliore ainsi l'esthétique globale de l'article porté dans la mesure où aucune altération du boîtier ne sera visible par l'utilisateur.Another advantage of the proposed solution is that it does not require a through hole for mounting the pivoting attachment piece, which minimizes material waste and thus reduces manufacturing costs. Moreover, the fastening device is made more compact, which allows it to be totally hidden for example under the case and thus improves the overall aesthetics of the article worn insofar as no alteration of the case will be visible to the case. 'user.
Un avantage additionnel de la solution proposée est que la rotation de la pièce d'attache par rapport au boîtier ne sera limitée que par le contact mutuel direct entre ces pièces; le débattement sera donc beaucoup plus important que dans le cas où des surfaces de butées sont aménagées directement au niveau de l'axe de rotation comme dans l'art antérieur. Ainsi le confort au porter sera encore amélioré pour l'utilisateur grâce au système de double articulation fourni, dont chacun des angles respectifs pourra être optimisé pour épouser au mieux la forme du poignet de l'utilisateur sans former d'angulation trop saillante.An additional advantage of the proposed solution is that rotation of the fastener relative to the housing will be limited only by direct mutual contact between these parts; the clearance will be much greater than in the case where abutment surfaces are arranged directly at the axis of rotation as in the prior art. Thus the wearing comfort will be further improved for the user through the double joint provided system, each of the respective angles can be optimized to marry the best shape of the wrist of the user without forming angulation too prominent.
Les buts, avantages et caractéristiques de la montre selon la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description détaillée suivante d'au moins une forme de réalisation de l'invention donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif et illustrée par les dessins annexés sur lesquels:
- la

figure 2 représente une vue en coupe du dispositif d'attache selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré à lafigure 1 , selon l'axe A-A.
- the
figure 1 schematically shows a watch provided with fastening devices according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device being shown on the one hand in exploded position and on the other hand in the assembled position to the middle part; - the
figure 2 represents a sectional view of the fastening device according to the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG.figure 1 along the AA axis.
Dans ce qui suit, on fera référence aux
Sur la
Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré, les pièces d'attache 1 amovibles sont formées par une paire de cornes 11 formées d'un seul tenant, et adaptées pour recevoir une barrette de fixation pour un bracelet, comme des cornes traditionnelles usinées directement sur la carrure. A cet effet, des trous de fixation 12 sont prévus à l'intérieur des cornes. Cet agencement permet d'une part un usinage simplifié des cornes 11 tout en leur conférant un degré de liberté en rotation par rapport à la carrure 3.According to the preferred embodiment illustrated, the removable attachment pieces 1 are formed by a pair of horns 11 formed in one piece, and adapted to receive a fastening bar for a bracelet, such as traditional horns machined directly on the build. For this purpose, fixing holes 12 are provided inside the horns. This arrangement allows on the one hand a simplified machining horns 11 while giving them a degree of freedom in rotation relative to the middle part 3.
Les cornes 11 sont reliées à la carrure 3 à l'aide d'une charnière 5, également formée de préférence de façon monobloc avec le reste de la pièce d'attache 1. La charnière 5 constitue un organe de liaison entre la pièce d'attache 1 et la carrure 3, permettant leur pivotement mutuel autour un axe commun. La charnière 5 est formée, selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré par les
L'avantage du mode de réalisation préférentiel avec une tige 4 amovible et modulaire par rapport à la charnière 5, elle-même solidaire de la pièce d'attache 1, est qu'il permet de choisir un matériau ayant des propriétés mécaniques et électrochimiques particulières, indépendamment des matériaux choisis pour le boîtier 2 et la pièce d'attache 1 du bracelet. On pourra ainsi de préférence choisir des tiges 4 en titane, ayant de meilleures propriétés de résistance et d'élasticité que les matériaux usuels tels que l'acier ou des métaux nobles comme les différents types d'or (blanc, jaune, rose) habituellement utilisés dans la bijouterie ou l'horlogerie.The advantage of the preferred embodiment with a rod 4 removable and modular relative to the hinge 5, itself secured to the fastener 1, is that it allows to choose a material having special mechanical and electrochemical properties , regardless of the materials chosen for the housing 2 and the attachment part 1 of the bracelet. It will thus be possible to choose rods 4 made of titanium, having better strength and elasticity properties than usual materials such as steel or noble metals such as the various types of gold (white, yellow, pink) usually used in jewelery or watchmaking.
Grâce à ces propriétés mécaniques avantageuses, il sera possible de réduire les dimensions de la tige 4, et notamment son diamètre, afin d'améliorer encore la compacité du système. Le diamètre de la tige 4 en titane est compris de préférence entre 0.75 et 0.9 millimètres pour conférer un bon compromis entre la compacité et la résistance au dispositif de fixation pour des carrures 3 de dimensions usuelles, c'est-à-dire dont le diamètre est typiquement compris entre 25 et 55 millimètres. Selon la variante préférentielle décrite, ce diamètre est égal à 0.8 millimètres pour une longueur de 7.4 millimètres lorsque la carrure a un diamètre de 30 millimètres.Thanks to these advantageous mechanical properties, it will be possible to reduce the dimensions of the rod 4, and in particular its diameter, in order to further improve the compactness of the system. The diameter of the titanium rod 4 is preferably between 0.75 and 0.9 millimeters in order to confer a good compromise between the compactness and the resistance to the fastening device for 3 normal-sized squares, that is to say the diameter of which is typically between 25 and 55 millimeters. According to the preferred variant described, this diameter is equal to 0.8 millimeters for a length of 7.4 millimeters when the middle part has a diameter of 30 millimeters.
Le titane présente par ailleurs également une excellente résistance à la corrosion et a une faible masse volumique, ce qui augmente le confort au porter grâce à réduction de poids conférée.Titanium also has excellent corrosion resistance and a low density, which increases wearing comfort through weight reduction.
Selon ce mode de réalisation préférentiel, l'axe de la barrette 8 est parallèle à celui de la tige 4 de telle sorte que la double articulation formée par l'axe de la barrette 8 et celui de la tige 4 et de la charnière 5 permettent un confort optimal au porter pour l'utilisateur, avec des angles d'orientation mutuelle réduits respectivement entre le bracelet et la pièce d'attache 1, et entre la pièce d'attache 1 et la carrure 3.According to this preferred embodiment, the axis of the bar 8 is parallel to that of the rod 4 so that the double articulation formed by the axis of the bar 8 and that of the rod 4 and the hinge 5 allow an optimal wearing comfort for the user, with reduced mutual orientation angles respectively between the bracelet and the attachment piece 1, and between the attachment piece 1 and the middle part 3.
On peut constater que la pièce d'attache 1 peut ainsi être fixée au bracelet sans nécessiter un assemblage simultané à la carrure, ce qui permet un assemblage modulaire sur bracelet sur la pièce d'attache 1, l'assemblage final sur la carrure 3 pouvant être effectué plus tard, voire même dans un autre lieu de production. Similairement il est toutefois également envisageable dans le cadre de l'invention de monter la pièce d'attache 1 de façon modulaire à la carrure 3 avant d'y fixer ultérieurement les bracelets à l'aide de barrettes, comme pourra le constater à la lecture de ce qui suit.It can be seen that the attachment piece 1 can thus be fixed to the bracelet without requiring a simultaneous assembly to the middle part, which allows a modular assembly on a strap on the attachment part 1, the final assembly on the middle part 3 can be performed later, or even in another place of production. Similarly, however, it is also conceivable in the context of the invention to mount the attachment part 1 in a modular way to the middle part 3 before attaching the bracelets later with the aid of bars, as will be seen on reading from the following.
Pour assembler la pièce d'attache 1 à la carrure 3, les extrémités 41 de la tige 4, qui débordent de la charnière 5, sont introduites dans des trous d'insertion 60 de chevilles 6 destinées à être assemblées au boîtier 2, et ici à la carrure selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré. Comme on peut le voir sur la
Pour les mêmes raisons que celles invoquées pour le choix du matériau pour la tige 4, les chevilles 6 seront de préférence également choisies en titane afin de conférer la meilleure résistance possible au dispositif de fixation, tout en réduisant légèrement le poids global. Les paires de tiges 4 - chevilles 6 en titane pourront ainsi être utilisées pour tout type de boîtier 2, qu'ils soient en acier ou en or par exemple, et également tout type de bracelet, en cuir ou en métal.For the same reasons as those invoked for the choice of the material for the rod 4, the pegs 6 will preferably also be chosen in titanium in order to confer the best possible resistance to the fixing device, while slightly reducing the overall weight. The pairs of rods 4 - 6 dowels titanium can be used for any type of housing 2, whether steel or gold, for example, and also any type of bracelet, leather or metal.
Les chevilles 6 sont ensuite disposées dans des logements 32 pratiqués dans la carrure 3. Comme on peut le voir sur les
Une fois les chevilles 6 insérées dans leurs logements 32 respectifs, il faut encore fixer le dernier degré de liberté restant par rapport à la carrure 3, ici en translation selon leur axe d'insertion perpendiculaire au plan de la carrure 3. Selon une variante non illustrée, on pourrait pour ce faire envisager chasser les chevilles 6 dans leurs logements 32 respectifs, en agençant toutefois des éléments de préhension pour pouvoir les retirer lorsqu'on souhaite changer de bracelet. Cette variante présente toutefois l'inconvénient de n'utiliser que des forces de friction pour le maintien des chevilles 6 dans la carrure 3, qui peuvent se détériorer au fil du temps et par conséquent porter atteinte à la fiabilité de l'articulation proposée pour la pièce d'attache 1. On pourrait également utiliser des bouchons, également chassés dans des trous agencés dans la carrure, et qui présenteraient par conséquent des inconvénients similaires en termes de fiabilité d'assemblage sur le long terme, mais présenteraient l'avantage de recouvrir intégralement les chevilles, ce qui permettrait d'une part d'empêcher toute intrusion de matière (poussière etc.) et conférerait une meilleure esthétique grâce à la dissimulation du dispositif d'assemblage.Once the pegs 6 inserted into their respective housings 32, it is necessary to fix the last remaining degree of freedom with respect to the middle part 3, here in translation along their axis of insertion perpendicular to the plane of the caseband 3. According to a variant not illustrated, one could for this purpose consider chasing the pins 6 in their respective slots 32, however arranging gripping elements to be removed when you want to change the bracelet. This variant, however, has the disadvantage of using only friction forces for holding the pins 6 in the middle part 3, which can deteriorate over time and therefore affect the reliability of the proposed joint for the Attachment 1. It could also be used plugs, also hunted in holes arranged in the middle part, and which would therefore have similar disadvantages in terms of reliability of assembly in the long term, but have the advantage of covering integrally the dowels, which would on the one hand to prevent any intrusion of material (dust etc.) and confer a better aesthetic through the concealment of the assembly device.
Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré aux
Afin d'améliorer la compacité de l'articulation proposée pour les cornes 11 par rapport à la carrure, des épaulements 61 sont prévus au niveau de la surface supérieure des chevilles 6 afin de permettre la préhension de la surface inférieure 711 des têtes de vis 71 sur une surface d'appui 611 située d'une part plus vers le fond de l'évidement et 31 et plus vers le centre de la carrure 3. Les vis 7 sont introduites dans un filetage 33 dont l'axe 9 est également perpendiculaire au plan de la carrure et donc parallèle à celui des logements 32 des chevilles 6; la surface d'appui 611 s'étend de préférence au minimum sur une largeur de quelques dixièmes millimètres pour assurer la fiabilité du maintien des chevilles 6 dans leur logement 32. Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel décrit, la surface d'appui 611 s'étend de préférence sur au moins 5 dixièmes de millimètres.In order to improve the compactness of the proposed articulation for the horns 11 with respect to the caseband, shoulders 61 are provided at the upper surface of the pins 6 in order to allow gripping of the lower surface 711 of the screw heads 71. on a bearing surface 611 located on the one hand more toward the bottom of the recess and 31 and more towards the center of the middle part 3. The screws 7 are introduced into a thread 33 whose axis 9 is also perpendicular to the plane of the middle and therefore parallel to that of the housing 32 of the pins 6; the bearing surface 611 preferably extends at least over a width of a few tenths millimeters to ensure the reliability of holding the pins 6 in their housing 32. According to the preferred embodiment described, the bearing surface 611 is preferably extends over at least 5 tenths of a millimeter.
Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré notamment sur la
On pourra remarquer que, contrairement aux solutions de l'art antérieur, aucun trou traversant n'est désormais nécessaire dans le cadre de l'invention pour le montage de la pièce d'attache pivotante 1, mais seulement un évidement 31 de taille restreinte dans un boîtier 2 ou une carrure 3. La compacité du dispositif n'étant déterminée principalement que par la longueur de la tige 4 et de la charnière 5, on pourra choisir ces dernières de préférence les plus petites possible afin de les masquer le mieux possible aux yeux de l'utilisateur, notamment lorsqu'il porte l'article à son poignet.
