Definitions
- the present invention concerns bracelets, preferably bracelets for objects such as wristwatches and/or jewellery items and/or costume jewellery items.
- the present invention concerns bracelets in which a certain degree of elasticity is required in order to make them easier to wear and more adaptable compared to traditional bracelets.
- bracelets which make it possible to put the item on, for example on the wrist in the case of a watch, on the ankle in the case of an anklet, on the neck in the case of a necklace etc, is known in the field of manufacture of objects such as wristwatches and/or jewellery items and/or costume jewellery items.
- Elastic bracelets can be adapted to the small variations occurring in the diameter of the wrist, the ankle or the neck over time, with no need to carry out manual adjustments and/or to interpose adjusting links, for example in proximity to the fastener, for which special tools and/or the intervention of specialized personnel is/are required.
- the elastic bracelets of the known type, with or without fastening systems are constituted by elastic metallic assemblies typically comprising a plurality of rigid links placed side by side and connected to one another by means of preferably metallic elastic elements such as, for example, torsion springs.
- the elastic elements allow two adjacent links to be moved away from each other or towards each other, so that the diameter of the bracelet can be automatically adapted to the wrist, the ankle or the neck where it is worn.
- the elastic elements used in the known art are typically made of a resistant metallic material, typically steel.
- a first drawback of the bracelets of the known type lies in that the elastic connection elements may come off and/or break, thus affecting the structure of the bracelet and possibly causing the same to open.
- Another drawback of the bracelets of the known type lies in that it is difficult to manufacture items completely made of a valuable material, for example gold, silver or platinum, due to the presence of the elastic elements in steel.
- Another drawback posed by the bracelets of the known type is constituted by the fact that the elastic elements negatively affect the aesthetic appearance of the bracelet, since the choice of their shape is strongly influenced by the elastic function they must serve and sometimes it is not possible to shape the elements so as to achieve the desired aesthetic result. Furthermore, the undesired aesthetic effect is particularly enhanced in the configuration of the bracelet with separated/stretched links.
- a further drawback posed by the bracelets of the known type is constituted by the risk of the bracelet links pinching the user's skin or hair when he/she is wearing the bracelet.
- Elastic bracelets according to the prior art are known from documents FR 1 093 940 A , DE 25 00 980 A1 , US 2 498 211 A , US 4 627 231 A , US 3 496 719 A , and GB 946 171 A .

- the second turns 42 of the second helical element 40 are wound forming a predetermined second angle with respect to the first direction D2, for example a 70° angle in the first embodiment illustrated in Figure 7 .
- the two angles are preferably supplementary angles. In preferred variant embodiments, however, the value of the two angles can be different.
- the two angles of the turns 32, 43 of the two helical elements 30, 42 are the same, 70° in the solution illustrated in Figure 17 and 110° in the solution illustrated in Figure 18 .
- the elastic element 50 that joins the first helical element 30 and the second helical element 40 is preferably inserted crosswise in the first turns 32 and in the second turns 42 at the level of the mutual penetration area.
- the elastic joining element 50 preferably comprises a body having an elongated shape, preferably a metal strap, more preferably a metal strap in a rectangular or a contoured rectangular shape.
- the elastic element 50 comprises a first end 52 fixed to one turn 32A of the first turns 32 of the first helical element 30 and a second end 54 fixed to one turn 32B of the first turns 32 of the first helical element 30, while the elastic element 50 of the adjacent section comprises a first end 52 fixed to one turn 42A of the second turns 42 of the second helical element 40 and a second end 54 fixed to one turn 42B of the second turns 42 of the second helical element 40, as shown in Figures 6, 7 , 8A and 8B .

- the elastic element 50 can assume a first arched or released position ( Figures 8B and 8D ) and at least one second less arched or stretched position ( Figures 9B and 9D ).
- the elastic element 50 is arranged in the first arched position corresponding to a first operating configuration of the bracelet 10, in which it pushes the first helical element 30 against the second helical element 40 towards a first position of maximum mutual penetration between the first helical element 30 and the second helical element 40 (see Figures from 8A to 8C).
- the elastic element 50 is arranged in the second, less arched position corresponding to a second operating configuration of the bracelet 10, in which there is a reduced mutual penetration between the first helical element 30 and the second helical element 40 (see Figures from 9A to 9C).
- the elastic element 50 In the second operating configuration, the elastic element 50 preferably assumes its stretched/rectilinear configuration.
- the elastic element 50 acts as a leaf spring.
- the elastic elements 50 of the bracelet 10 are assembled in such a way that they all have their arched part on the same side, as shown in Figure 8D . Thanks to the action of the elastic element 50, or of the elastic elements 50 if more than one are provided, the bracelet 10 can thus assume a first operating configuration ( Figure 8B ), in which it has the minimum size/diameter, and a second operating configuration, in which it has the maximum size/diameter ( Figure 9B ), thus obtaining the desired flexibility.
- a first operating configuration Figure 8B
- a second operating configuration in which it has the maximum size/diameter
- the action of the elastic elements 50 of the various elastic sections 20 forming the bracelet 10 makes it easier to put on and wear the wristwatch O and allows the bracelet 10 to be adapted to wrists having different diameters or to variations in the diameter of the same wrist.
- the simple construction structure of the bracelet makes the latter sturdier than the bracelets of the known type, thus making it almost impossible to lose the bracelet.
- the bracelet does not require the use of elastic steel elements, which instead are used in the known art, so that it can preferably be made with valuable metals, in particular it can be completely made of gold.
- a further advantage offered by the bracelet of the present invention is constituted by the fact that the elastic element 50 is completely surrounded by the turns of the helical elements, thus remaining concealed. In this way, the aesthetic appearance of the bracelet is not affected by the elastic element, independently of the operating configuration assumed by the same.
- the special construction of the bracelet with helical elements positioned side by side defines a sufficiently compact and smooth structure, which prevents the bracelet from pinching the skin or hair of the user who is wearing it.
- the bracelet 110 according to said embodiment differs from the previous embodiment described with reference to Figures from 1 to 9 due to the different position of the elastic elements 50.
- the elastic elements 50 of the bracelet 10 are assembled in such a way that the arched part of an elastic element 50 is contrary to the arched part of an adjacent elastic element 50, as shown in Figure 10D .
- the elastic elements 50 assume the arched position corresponding to a first operating configuration of the bracelet 10 (minimum size/diameter, Figures from 10A to 10C).
- the elastic elements 50 then assume a second, less arched position, preferably rectilinear, corresponding to a second operating configuration of the bracelet 10 (maximum size/diameter, Figures from 11A to 11C).
- the bracelet 210 according to said embodiment differs from the embodiment previously described with reference to Figures 10 and 11 8 due to the fact that the elastic elements 250 are made in a different way.
- the elastic elements of the bracelet are not constituted by separate elements fixed with their ends to the helical elements but belong to a single elastic element 250 conveniently shaped to define corresponding arched sections, each of which serves the same functions previously described.
- each arched section is joined to respective ends of adjacent sections in connection areas 252, preferably in semicircular connection areas.
- connection areas 252 are defined on the lateral edges 210A and 210B of the bracelet.
- a covering element 260 is used to conceal the connection areas 252 and improve the aesthetic effect at the level of the lateral edges 210A, 210B of the bracelet 210.
- the covering element preferably comprises a hemi spherical portion 262 inside which there is a pin 264 surrounded by the connection area 252 of the elastic element 250.
- Figures from 14 to 16 show possible variant embodiments related to the shape of the turns which make up the helical elements of the bracelet.
- Figure 14 shows a possible embodiment in which only turns 332, 342 with an ovoid shape are used
- Figures 15 and 16 show a possible embodiment in which turns with a circular shape 32 alternate with turns with an ovoid shape 332.
- Figures 17 and 18 show possible variant embodiments related to the inclination of the turns of adjacent helical elements 30, 40 of the bracelet.
- Figures 17 and 18 show possible variant embodiments related to the inclination of the turns of adjacent helical elements 30, 40 of the bracelet.
- the turns 32, 42 of the two helical elements 30, 40 have the same inclination, preferably a 70° angle with respect to the directions D1, D2 as previously defined, and in Figure 18 the turns 32, 43 of the two helical elements 30, 42 have the same inclination, preferably a 110° angle with respect to the directions D1, D2.
- the bracelet 410 differs from the embodiments described above in that the elastic element 450 is constituted by one pair of elastic elements 450A, 450B. Each of the two elements is shaped so that it can assume the arched position corresponding to a first operating configuration of the bracelet 410 (minimum size/diameter, Figures from 19A to 19C) and a second, less arched position, not shown and preferably rectilinear analogously to what has been described above, corresponding to a second operating configuration of the bracelet 410 (maximum size/diameter).
- the bracelet 510 according to said embodiment differs from the embodiments previously described in that only some sections 20 of the bracelet 510 are elastic, having respective elastic elements 50, while other sections 580 are not elastic.
- the present invention makes it possible to overcome the problems related to the bracelets known in the art.
- the bracelet according to the present invention is sturdier than the elastic bracelets of the known type.
