Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking or jewelry. It relates more precisely to a device for attaching a bracelet to an object, in particular a watch case.
  • the straps in leather or in metal, are fixed to the horns of a watch case, by means of a bar formed of a tube, in which are mounted two pistons movable in translation, and an elastic member. disposed between said pistons and tending to drive them out of the tube.
  • Said bar is mounted in a housing provided for this purpose at one end of the bracelet, and the pistons are engaged in blind bores made opposite in the horns of the box.
  • Such devices usually include a bar, of the type described above, on which is mounted, passing through the tube, a piston actuating member.
  • Said actuating member is, for example, a radial finger integral with a pistons, as described in the patent CH 327 838 .
  • the finger is slidably mounted through an axial slot made in the tube, and its movement along the slot makes it possible to push one of the pistons inside the tube.
  • the patent CH 614 589 describes a watch case with a device for attaching a bracelet to the box, the central horn has a cylindrical passage split longitudinally over the entire length of the horn, allowing the introduction of a bar for fixing a bracelet .
  • the bar is in the form of a cylinder with a flat over its entire length so as to let the bar pass during its introduction into the passage and hold it in place when it occupies a determined angular position.
  • the fastening devices thus described are generally used for interchangeable straps, which they can replace at the option of the wearer. However, they are not without drawbacks. It will be noted, in particular, that they require major structural modifications at the level of the bar, such as, for example, the creation of an opening at the level of the tube, or the transformation of the pistons. These changes result in significant additional manufacturing costs.
  • These fixing devices also include a prominent element, namely the actuating member, which can catch on or injure the wearer of the watch.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks, by proposing a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case, the device comprising on the one hand a bar formed by at least one telescopic cylindrical rod secured to the watch case by means of at least one horn, and on the other hand an insert secured to the end of a bracelet, the bar and the insert being complementary to cooperate by fitting one into the other by constituting means removable assembly capable of making the bracelet interchangeable.
  • the bar has at least one flat, said flat being arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing produced in said at least one insert, said at least one housing having a substantially rectangular opening for receiving said at least one flat, said rod being telescopic so as to pass from a first position A in which the rod is deployed and the insert is capable of being positioned on the rod of the rod, towards a second position B in which the bar is retracted and said insert is locked on the rod of the bar.
  • the figures 1 to 4 illustrate a wristwatch as well as detailed views of the device for attaching the strap 2 to the watch case 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the device for fixing the strap 2 to the watch case 1 comprises on the one hand a bar 4 secured to the watch case by means of at least one horn secured to the case, and on the other hand an insert secured to the end of the strap 2, the bar 4 and the insert 20 being complementary in order to cooperate by fitting one into the other by constituting removable assembly means capable of making the bracelet interchangeable.
  • the watch case comprises a central horn comprising a passage 30 whose diameter corresponds to the diameter of the axis of the bar 4 so that the latter can rotate freely in the housing.
  • the central horn 10 is formed in one piece and can be provided removable and be maintained on the watch case 1, by means of screws for example. Such an arrangement makes it possible to assemble and disassemble the horn easily and quickly.
  • the horn is formed with the watch case.
  • the bar 4 is formed by at least one cylindrical rod 40 having at least one flat 41, the flat 41 being arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing 200 produced in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand 2 or a link.
  • the bar 4 is formed by two rods 40, each comprising two parallel and symmetrical flats 41, and the two rods 40 being separated by a spring 5 pushing them back from each other, the rods 40 extending to be returned to the deployed position by the spring 5 disposed in the housing 30 of the horn 3 as long as the rods are not locked.
  • the rod 40 is provided telescopically so as to pass from a first position A in which the rod is deployed and the insert 20 is able to be positioned on the rod 40, towards a second position B in which the rod is retracted and the insert is locked on the rod 40 of the bar.
  • the rod 40 comprises at least one guide track 42 having an L-shaped, or bayonet-shaped, and extending over a part of its length, the track 42 comprising at least one notch 43, on the base of the L , so as to define the retracted position of the rod 40.
  • the rod 40 comprises at least one manipulation member at its free end so as to rotate it from the first position A in which the flat portion 41 of the rod is capable of receiving the insert, towards the second position B in which the insert 2 is locked on the bar 4.
  • the handling member comprises a collar 44 secured to each of the ends of the rod 40, the rod 40 and the collar 44 then forming a single element. It can also be envisaged to assemble the collar 44 at the end of the rod 40 by means of an insertion point mounted in a hollow part of the rod 40. An internal bulge is then arranged at the end of the rod 40 to cooperate with the insertion point, in order to clip the flange 44 into the rod 40. Other methods of fixing the flanges 44 can be envisaged, such as for example by gluing, welding, or even by driving. These act as axial retaining elements for the bar 4 and the insert 21.
  • the horn 3 comprises guide and locking means arranged to slide in the track 42 and guide the rod 40 during a change of position.
  • These guide means in particular visible on the Figures 2a and 2b , comprise at least one needle 31 constrained by means of a spring 32 so as to limit the clearances and ensure good contact of the needle in the track 42 of the rod 40.
  • the needle 31 also makes it possible to lock the rod in the retracted position, the latter cooperating with the notch 43, on the base of the L, so as to maintain the rod 40 in the retracted position.
  • the insert 2 comprises a housing 200 having a substantially rectangular opening 210 for receiving the flat 41 of the rod 40, the height and the length of the opening 210 corresponding to the height and the length of the flat 41 of the bar 4
  • the housing 200 is produced in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand.
  • the housing 200 is in the form of an open housing formed by a cylindrical groove machined in the insert 20 of the bracelet strand.
  • This cylindrical groove comprises a rectangular opening 210 allowing the introduction and the maintenance of the rod 40 of cylindrical shape which comprises at least one flat 41 to correspond to the shape of the housing.
  • the groove 211 has a C-shaped section.
  • the horn 3 comprises first vertical side walls 10 in which a cylindrical excavation 11 is provided to partially accommodate the flanges 44.
  • the flanges 44 here taking a preferably cylindrical shape to accommodate in the excavations 11.
  • the user performs the reverse operations, that is to say exerting pressure on the rod or rods until the needle 31 abuts on the wall of the guide groove 42, then rotates the rod around the axis AA by means of the flanges towards position B, and releases the pressure exerted so that the needle comes to lodge in the locking notch 43 under the effect of the spring 5.
  • the bracelet strand can no longer be dislodged as can be observed on the figure 2b .
  • At least one of the flanges 44 comprises a slot arranged on its external face, namely the face visible by the wearer of the watch, for cooperating with a tool or the wearer's finger in order to facilitate the handling of the flange 44 and the locking and / or unlocking of the insert 20 on the bar 4.
  • the insert 20 follows the shape of the central horn 10 so as to limit the play during assembly and provide a good quality assembly.
  • the insert is placed on a bracelet made of leather, synthetic fabric, plastic, metal, ceramic or even composite.
  • the bar 4 is preferably made of metal but could also be made of plastic, ceramic or even composite.
