Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clasp for a bracelet with a comfortable setting, and in particular for watch straps.
  • a folding clasp comprising two curved arms, one lower, the other upper, each provided with a concave face and a convex face, the concave face of the upper arm being adjacent to the convex face of the lower arm in closed position of the clasp, the upper arm being elastically deformable in bending, locking means, comprising two parts, each associated with one of the arms, the first part comprising at least two cutouts and the second part a head arranged so as to engage in a notch in one or the other cutout, by elastic deformation of the upper arm, the connecting means connecting the arms to one another in a hinged manner at one of their ends, around an axis substantially parallel to the faces of the arms, and allowing the upper arm to occupy at least two positions in which the head can be engaged in one or the other of the cutouts, and means for fixing the strands of a bracelet arranged to each other from extremi arms tees.
  • the handling of such a mechanism is not easy for a user because the axis is movable with the arm which means that the axis can be found in overhang depending on the play and block the arm in a unwanted position.
  • the locking of the position is not completely reliable, there is a risk that in the short position the clasp when it is opened goes into the long position against the will of the user.
  • the document EP 1 716 776 A2 discloses a folding clasp with means for adjusting the useful length of the bracelet, the adjusting means comprising a cover and a member for fixing a bracelet strand. The fastener is released from the clasp cover by exerting pressure on the cover in a direction perpendicular to the clasp in order to make it slide.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to overcome the various drawbacks of these known techniques.
  • an objective of the invention is to provide a clasp allowing simple and rapid adjustment of the length of a bracelet strand.
  • the fixing member slides in a longitudinal direction of the clasp between a first position in which the fixing member is at least partially engaged in the cover of the clasp, towards at least a second position in which the member fixing is released from the cover of the clasp by exerting pressure on the cover in a direction perpendicular to the clasp to make it slide.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising a bracelet provided with a clasp according to the invention.
  • the object of the present invention by its various functional and structural aspects described above, makes it possible to obtain a clasp for which the adjustment of the length of a strand is particularly easy and rapid.
  • a clasp for an adjustable strand bracelet according to a first exemplary embodiment will now be described in the following with reference jointly to figures 1, 2 , 3, 4a , 4b , 5, 6a, 6b and 6c .
  • the invention relates to a clasp 1 for a bracelet, of the folding clasp type, comprising at least first and second blades, the second blade 3 being articulated to the first blade 2 by a first end, between a closed position, called the carrying position, in which the second blade 3 is folded against the first blade 2, and an open position in which the second blade 3 is clear of the first blade 2.
  • the second blade 3 carries at a second end a fixing member 30 of a first bracelet strand, a second bracelet strand being connected at least indirectly to the first blade 2 by means of an attachment link 5 for example, the first blade 2 comprising locking means capable of maintaining the second blade 3 in its closed position.
  • the means for fixing the first bracelet strand or the first link can be in the form of a third blade 4 as illustrated in the figures, or one could also imagine that the strand or the link is directly fixed to the first blade 2 , or indirectly fixed to the first blade 2 via an articulated intermediate element.
  • the strands can be made from materials such as leather, fabric, canvas, or any other material known to those skilled in the art for making bracelets or belts.
  • Bracelet links can also be attached to it, whether they are made of metal, ceramic, composite material or any other material known to those skilled in the art for the manufacture of links.
  • the first blade 2 may, for example, have an orifice passing through its center, called the central orifice 10, the central orifice being configured to receive a stud 11 so that the stud cooperates with pushers or any other locking means of the clasp.
  • the central orifice 10 may, for example, have an orifice passing through its center, called the central orifice 10, the central orifice being configured to receive a stud 11 so that the stud cooperates with pushers or any other locking means of the clasp.
  • Fixed hooks configured to cooperate with other hooks arranged on pushers for example could also be placed on the first blade 2.
  • the clasp comprises means for adjusting the useful length of the bracelet, the adjusting means comprising a cover 6 articulated in translation to the base plate 7 by its lateral edges, the plate base 7 being secured to the second end of the second blade 3 via an intermediate articulation element 70, the fixing member of the first strap strand being slidably mounted between the cover 6 and the base plate 7.
  • the fixing member 30 is movable and slides in a longitudinal direction of the clasp 1 between at least a first position in which the fixing member 30 is at least partially engaged in the cover 6 of the clasp, towards at least a second position wherein the fixing member 30 is released from the cover 6 of the clasp by exerting pressure on the cover 6 in a direction perpendicular to the clasp in order to make it slide.
  • the fixing member 30 comprises at least a first notch 31 and a second notch 32, the fastening member 30 being arranged to move from a first position in which the first notch 31 is engaged with a pin 71 integral with the base plate, in a second position in which the second notch 32 engages with the pin 71.
  • the first and second notches 31 and 32 are machined directly in the fixing member 30.
  • the fixing member can present several adjustment steps according to the wearer's needs and morphology.
  • the cover 6 comprises a first machining 60, in the length direction, in which the fixing member 30 is housed and slid, the member having a shape complementary to that of the machining in order to limit the play after assembly.
  • the fixing member 30 comprises stop means 33 which define the stroke length of the latter and which also allow it to avoid dislodging from the machining 60.
  • the fixing member 30 has a clearance 34 in the immediate vicinity of the stop means 33, so as to allow the stud 11 to pass through.
  • the cover 6 also comprises a second machining 61, of rectangular shape in the direction of the width to receive at least one pusher, or two push buttons as shown in the figures, the push button (s) being mounted between the base plate 7 and the cover 6.
  • the first machining 60 and the second machining 61 intersect and form a zone defining the stroke length of the stop means, the latter moving in said formed zone.
  • the fixing member 30 has three distinct levels, a first level comprising the stop means 33, a second level with a thickness greater than the first level and comprising the notches 31, 32, and a third level with a greater thickness at the second level and comprising means for attaching a bracelet strand or a link.
  • the base plate 7 comprises a guide groove 72 for the push button (s) 8, the guide groove being of a shape complementary to the push buttons, namely rectangular.
  • the base plate 7 also comprises a through hole 73, at the level of the groove 72, through which passes the stud 11 integral with the first blade 2.
  • the two pushers 8 are arranged to be moved in a direction perpendicular to the clasp 1, in response to pressure from the user, between a first rest position in which the cover 6, member 30 and base plate 7 assembly is locked in the closed position on the first blade 2, and a second pushed position in which the assembly is released from the first blade 2.
  • the pushers 8 are formed by a body, of length greater than the width of the cover 6 and of the base plate 7, so as to protrude on either side of the cover.
  • the pushers 8 are slidably mounted and cooperate supported by a spring to keep them apart.
  • each pusher has a passage and a hook for allowing the stud 11 to pass through and to hold it when the pushers are constrained by the spring.
  • the user can press the pusher 8 and the cover 6 in a direction perpendicular to the clasp to facilitate handling.
  • the user first unfolds the second blade 3 of the first blade 2. Then, the user presses on the cover 6, and possibly the pusher 8 just below, so as to shift the cover 6 from its rest position to one of the adjustment positions as in the figures 6a to 6c , thus the pins which were offset with respect to the notches find themselves placed opposite the passages formed in the notches 31 and 32 and the wearer can then move the fixing member 30 to the desired position. Finally, once the fixing member is positioned in the desired notch, the wearer releases the pressure exerted on the cover 6 which returns to its rest position under the effect of a spring cooperating with a pin, both being visible to the eyes. figure 4b and 5 .
  • the pin being integral with the base plate 7 and defining the stroke length of the cover 6. The wearer only has to close the clasp 1 to wear the watch.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising a bracelet provided with a clasp as described above.
