La zone d'assemblage d'un bracelet de montre ou de bijou sur une boîte ou un composant massif est toujours une zone où se concentrent les contraintes appliquées par l'utilisateur au bracelet du fait de ses mouvements. La concentration d'efforts, ou encore la sollicitation en fatigue, peut entraîner une détérioration voire un bris de certains composants, notamment de cornes de boîte, voire de la boîte de montre elle-même, notamment quand elle est réalisée dans une matière plastique ou dans un matériau fragile. Le coût de la réparation ou du remplacement est élevé, et altère l'image du fabricant.The assembly area of a watch bracelet or jewel on a box or a massive component is always an area where the constraints applied by the user to the bracelet due to its movements are concentrated. The concentration of forces, or the stress in fatigue, can cause deterioration or even breakage of some components, including box horns or even the watch case itself, especially when it is made of a plastic or in a fragile material. The cost of repair or replacement is high, and distorts the image of the manufacturer.
L'invention se propose de pallier les problèmes de l'art antérieur en permettant un désassemblage d'un ensemble montre-bracelet avant la casse de la boîte ou/et du bracelet. L'invention propose l'interposition d'un composant sacrificiel, de faible coût, jouant le rôle de fusible et permettant de préserver les constituants principaux et les plus coûteux.The invention proposes to overcome the problems of the prior art by allowing a disassembly of a wristwatch assembly before the case of the box and / or bracelet.

L'invention concerne les domaines de l'horlogerie, et de la bijouterie, et plus précisément le domaine d'ensembles assemblés, tels que montres-bracelet, comportant plusieurs composants assemblés ensemble par une liaison articulée.The invention relates to the fields of watchmaking, and jewelery, and more specifically the field of assembled assemblies, such as wristwatches, comprising several components assembled together by an articulated connection.
L'invention est décrite ici avec une application préférée et non limitative relative à la fixation, notamment articulée ,de brins de bracelet à une boîte de montre ; elle pourrait aussi concerner la fixation, notamment articulée, d'un brin de bracelet à un fermoir, ou encore de deux composants d'un bracelet fixés ou/et articulés entre eux.The invention is described here with a preferred and nonlimiting application relating to the fixing, in particular articulated, of bracelet strands to a watch case; it could also concern the fixing, in particular articulated, of a strap strand to a clasp, or two components of a bracelet fixed and / or articulated between them.
L'invention concerne un dispositif 100 d'attache d'un brin de bracelet 3 à une boîte 2 de montre 4.The invention relates to a
Selon l'invention, ce dispositif 100 comporte au moins une attache 101 permettant une désolidarisation de ce brin de bracelet 3 par rapport à la boîte 2, quand cette attache 1 est soumise à un effort pré-déterminé, et en particulier à un effort de traction inférieur à 330 N. De préférence, l'attache 101 est prévue pour casser quand elle est soumise à un effort compris entre 300 N et 330 N.According to the invention, this

L'invention concerne encore une montre-bracelet 4 comportant une boîte 2 et au moins un brin de bracelet 3 fixés l'un à l'autre. Selon l'invention, la liaison entre le brin de bracelet 3 et la boîte 2 comporte un tel dispositif d'attache 100.The invention also relates to a
Dans une réalisation avantageuse illustrée par les
La goupille 1 solidarise le brin de bracelet 3 à la boîte 2, et préserve la boîte 2 en cas de sollicitation extrême ou de manipulation inadaptée du bracelet.The
Dans une réalisation particulière, tel qu'illustré par les figures, la goupille 1 comporte une pluralité de telles zones 11 de faible résistance.In a particular embodiment, as illustrated by the figures, the
On comprend que, du fait des sollicitations importantes imprimées par l'utilisateur au bracelet, des efforts importants sont appliqués au niveau de l'articulation, et que l'invention permet de pré-sélectionner l'élément sacrifié, en l'occurrence le moins coûteux et le plus facile à échanger. La rupture de la goupille 1 intervient en cas de contraintes trop élevées, notamment en cisaillement.It is understood that, due to the significant demands made by the user on the bracelet, significant forces are applied at the joint, and that the invention makes it possible to pre-select the sacrificed element, in this case the least expensive and the easiest to trade. The break of the
L'utilisateur constate visuellement la rupture de la goupille 1 selon l'invention, cette rupture n'entraîne toutefois pas nécessairement la désolidarisation immédiate entre la boîte 2 et le brin de bracelet 3, quand la goupille 1 est tenue en plusieurs points.The user visually observes the break of the

On comprend bien que la barrette selon l'invention doit être adaptée à la boîte et au brin de bracelet qu'elle relie, de façon à rompre en cas de surcharge. On peut généraliser l'emploi de la barrette la plus faible pour toutes les applications.It is understood that the bar according to the invention must be adapted to the box and the bracelet strand it connects, so as to break in case of overload. We can generalize the use of the weakest bar for all applications.
En tout état de cause, la goupille 1 doit rompre pour un effort appliqué selon n'importe quelle direction, très inférieur à 300N.In any case, the
Dans une réalisation préférée, au moins une zone 11 de faible résistance de la goupille 1 est située, en position assemblée et articulée du brin de bracelet 3 sur la boîte 2 par l'intermédiaire de la goupille 1, au droit d'une zone d'interface 40, là où la contrainte en cisaillement est la plus élevée.In a preferred embodiment, at least one

L'invention est particulièrement bien adaptée à la protection de boîtes de montre réalisées en matériaux légers ou fragiles tels que matières plastiques, alliages légers, verre, en particulier quand elles sont réalisées, au niveau des attaches du bracelet, creuses ou/et avec une faible épaisseur de paroi. L'invention offre l'avantage de protéger à la fois la boîte et le brin de bracelet associé.The invention is particularly well suited to the protection of watch cases made of light or fragile materials such as plastics, light alloys, glass, in particular when they are made, at the strap fasteners, hollow or / and with a low wall thickness. The invention offers the advantage of protecting both the box and the associated bracelet strand.
L'invention permet d'améliorer une montre par le simple remplacement, en montage initial ou en après-vente, de goupilles ou barrettes existantes par une goupille sacrificielle selon l'invention, laquelle est peu coûteuse et n'entraîne aucune modification du processus d'assemblage.The invention makes it possible to improve a watch by simply replacing, in initial assembly or after-sales, existing pins or barrettes with a sacrificial pin according to the invention, which is inexpensive and causes no change in the assembly process.
