Definitions
- the latter relates to a device for fine adjustment of the length of a bracelet, the device being intended to be inserted between two elements of the bracelet and comprising an external part arranged to be attached to the one of the two elements, an internal part arranged to be attached to the other element of the bracelet and to slide in the external part parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet so as to vary the length of the bracelet, and stop means arranged to limit the stroke of the internal part relative to the external part so that the bracelet cannot extend beyond a maximum length, the external part further comprising a wall having at least one immobilization hole on its inner side, and the internal part comprising hooking means and a spring arranged to cause the hooking means to engage in said at least one hole, so as to pe resetting to immobilize the internal part with respect to the external part in at least one relative position giving the bracelet a determined length.
- the present invention relates in particular to such a fine adjustment device intended to be inserted between two elements of a watch strap, and it relates in particular to such a fine adjustment device intended to form part of a bracelet provided with a clasp.
- deploying type comprising at least one opening and closing cover.
- the present invention relates to a bracelet comprising at least one device for fine adjustment of its length.
- Patent CH 699 067 B1 describes a fine adjustment device for a bracelet provided with a deployant-type clasp comprising at least one opening and closing cover comprising an upper face and two lateral faces which are symmetrical with respect to one another to each other and each have two holes.
- the opening and closing cover of the clasp is simultaneously part of the clasp and of the fine adjustment device, and the latter also comprises a base support arranged to be slidably housed inside the opening and closing cover. .
- the base support comprises fixing means arranged to cooperate selectively with one of the two bores that each of the side faces has.
- the fixing means comprise a bar which is used to attach a strand of the bracelet to the base support and the two ends of which are each provided with a ball pawl.
- the bar is mounted in the base support so that the two balls protrude on either side by openings arranged in the sides of the latter.
- the base support is housed in the opening and closing cover so as to slide between the two lateral faces, it will be understood that the balls of the two pawls are constantly pushed by their respective spring towards the interior sides of the two faces side of the cover.
- Patent document EP 2 875 747 A1 proposes to remedy this problem. It describes a device for fine adjustment of the length of a bracelet which conforms to the definition given in the preamble.
- the external part of this device comprises a rack arranged inside its upper face, and the internal part comprises hooking means in the form of a pawl, as well as a spring arranged to return the pawl against the rack. .
- the rack teeth are asymmetrical.
- the internal part is then free to slide in a direction corresponding to a shortening of the bracelet.
- the bracelet wearer exerts a force on the bracelet strand in the direction corresponding to the lengthening of the bracelet, this force has no effect.
- the pawl then ensures the locking between the internal part and the external part by cooperating with the other side of one of the asymmetrical teeth of the rack. It will be understood that the characteristic which has just been described is not always advantageous. Indeed, if the wearer of a bracelet equipped with this fine adjustment device is not precise enough in his manipulations, he risks too shortening the bracelet and then having to open the clasp to loosen it.
- An object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art which have just been explained.
- the present invention achieves this goal as well as others by providing a device for fine adjustment of the length of a bracelet according to claim 1 appended.
- the expression "longitudinal axis" (of the device for fine adjustment of the length of a bracelet) designates an axis of said device, which coincides with the longitudinal axis of the bracelet when the device is inserted. between two elements of it.
- certain parts of the said device can be described as “upper” and “lower” with reference respectively to the external and internal sides of the bracelet.
- the internal part comprises a slide and a lever arranged pivoting in a housing of the slide, the lever forming part of the hooking means and having a first end which is arranged to be returned by the spring in the direction of the wall of the external part, so as to allow the lever to cooperate with said at least one immobilization hole to secure the internal part relative to the external part in at least one position giving the bracelet a determined length less than the maximum length, and in that the internal part comprises a control member arranged to allow manual control of the lever to spread the first end of the immobilization hole in which it is inserted, so as to separate the internal part from the external part.
- the external part comprises at least one immobilization hole, but that it is not equipped with a rack.
- the internal part and the external part are integral with each other as long as the lever cooperates with the immobilization hole.
- To separate the internal part from the external part it is necessary to manually actuate the control member so as to separate the folded end of the lever from the immobilization hole.
- a first advantage of the invention is therefore that an accidental impact or an energetic bending of the wrist does not risk causing an involuntary elongation of the bracelet.
- a second advantage is that the watch wearer cannot change the length of the strap when the latter is closed. There is therefore no risk of having to reopen it because it has been tightened too much.
- the wall of the external part has an upper face in which said at least one immobilization hole is formed.
- the lever is arranged to pivot in a plane which is normal to the upper face and which contains the longitudinal axis of the bracelet.
- the internal part comprises an auxiliary stop arranged to cooperate with an edge of the external part so as to limit the stroke of the internal part relative to the external part so that the length of the bracelet cannot be less than the minimum length, and according to an advantageous variant of this latter embodiment, the minimum length is equal to the determined length.
- the auxiliary stop acts in concert with the lever and the immobilization hole to immobilize the internal part relative to the external part in a relative position giving the bracelet a minimum length.
- the slide has two holes arranged on either side and facing one another, and the auxiliary stop comprises at least one fixing arm provided with a through hole which is arranged coaxially between the two holes.
- the auxiliary stopper is fixed to the slide using a pin which is oriented perpendicular to the length of the bracelet and which is inserted through the through hole and the two holes. It will be understood that the auxiliary stop must be able to be separated from the rest of the internal part so as to allow the fine adjustment device to be dismantled.
- the pin preferably also fulfills the function of a pivot axis for the lever.
- An advantage of this latter variant is that it further simplifies the task of assembling or disassembling the fine adjustment device.
- the lever is arranged to pivot around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet.

- FIGS. 10A and 10B are perspective views similar to those of FIGS. 1A and 1B on the outside of a bracelet, the bracelet being of a different model, and the two fine adjustment devices being in accordance with a variant of the first embodiment of the invention.
- FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B are perspective views of a bracelet 1 equipped with a clasp 3 with a butterfly folding clasp.
- the clasp 3 is shown in the closed position in Figures 1A and 1B and in the open position in Figures 2A and 2B. It comprises, conventionally, two symmetrical pivoting blades articulated on a base blade, two opening and closing half-covers (referenced respectively 5 and 7) pivotally mounted on the ends of the two pivoting blades, and a safety lock which can be actuated by means of two pushers (referenced 9).
- the two half-covers 5, 7 are arranged to come to position face-to-face, one against the other, when the bracelet is closed.
- closing edge 19a (or respectively 19b) will be called the edge, of one or other of the half-covers, which faces the closing edge of the other half-cover in FIGS. 1A and 1 B.
- Folding type clasps are well known to those skilled in the art. This is the reason why the clasp 3 of the present example will not be described in more detail.
- An example of a folding clasp safety clasp is described in patent document EP 3 162 241 A1. This document is incorporated by reference into the present description.
- the two half-covers 5 and 7 are also attached respectively to two strands 11, 13 of the bracelet by means of a first and a second fine adjustment device (referenced respectively 15 and 17) which are both in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention.
- the two fine adjustment devices can be identical and, in accordance with what will be described in more detail below, their presence makes it possible to adjust the length of the bracelet 1 between a base length (short) and a comfortable putting length. (longer).
- Figures 1A and 2A show the bracelet with the two fine adjustment devices 15, 17 in the configuration associated with the base length of the bracelet, while Figures 1 B and 2B show it with the two devices in the configuration associated with its comfortable putting length.
- the dimensions of the fine adjustment devices 15 and 17 are substantially the same as those of the links of bracelet 1. This uniformity of dimensions makes it possible to produce bracelets formed of homogeneous elements , and therefore also homogeneous bracelets.
- Figures 3A to 8B are views which show in more detail one of the two fine adjustment devices 15 and 17 of the bracelet 1 of Figures 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B.
- the fine adjustment device comprises an external part and an internal part which is arranged to slide in the external part, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet.
- the two opening and closing half-covers 5, 7 of the clasp 3 each fulfill the function of external part for the fine adjustment device (respectively 15 and 17) with which they are associated.
- the internal part of the fine adjustment device shown comprises a slide 20 comprising a housing 21, and further comprises a lever 23 (shown in FIGS.
- FIG. 3A is a perspective view from below of the external part 5.
- the external part generally has an inverted "U" profile, its cross section being substantially uniform.
- the base of the inverted U is constituted by the upper face 29 of the half-cover and the two uprights are constituted by two opposite lateral faces 31 a and 31 b.
- the inner side of the upper face 29 of the half-cover 5 has an extra thickness in which a number of hollow structures have been formed. Among these, we can first see a cell 33a having an elongated shape in the longitudinal direction of the bracelet.
- One of the elongated ends of the cell 33a is a closed end constituting a bottom, while the opposite end is open and opens to the outside through the closing edge 19a. It can also be seen that the cell 33a adjoins the inner side of the side face 31a of the half-cover, and that it even extends over a short distance under the side face so as to form at the base of the latter. a lateral guide groove. According to this example, the half-cover 5 is symmetrical. It will therefore be understood that the inner side of the upper face 29 also has a second cell 33b (visible in particular in FIGS. 4A and 4B) of elongated shape which adjoins the lateral face 31b, so that it is not visible in Figure 3A. FIG.
- FIG. 3A also shows a first blind hole 37 hereinafter called “immobilization hole 37” and a second smaller blind hole 39, hereinafter called “auxiliary hole 39” which are formed in the inner side of the face upper 29, the holes 37 and 39 having an elongated shape transverse to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet. It can also be seen that the upper face of the cover 5 also has a rectangular notch 59 which is arranged in the edge opposite the closing edge 19a.
- FIG. 3B is a perspective view from below of the slide 20 of the internal part of the fine adjustment device. It can be seen that the slider has a main part dimensioned so as to be able to be inserted between the two lateral faces 31 a, 31 b of the external part, and a narrower connecting part (referenced 60). It can also be seen that the slide 20 is symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet, and that a housing 21, which is arranged in the center of the slide, opens on the lower side of this last. Still referring to the same figure, it can be seen that the edge of the main part of the slide 20 also has a central notch 51 which is arranged in the extension of the housing 21.
- the notch 51 is crossed in its middle by the plane of symmetry of the slide 20. As will be seen in more detail below, the notch 51 constitutes an opening intended to allow the passage of the first end 27 of the lever 23. It can also be seen that the main part of the slide comprises two holes 41 a, 41 b arranged coaxially on either side of the housing 21, and that the connecting part 60 has a transverse hole 61 which extends parallel to the axis common to the holes 41 a and 41 b. Finally, the slide 20 also has two lateral pads 35a and 35b arranged respectively to slide inside the cells 33a and 33b of the external part.
- the lateral pads 35a, 35b are introduced by their rounded end into the open ends of the cells 33a, 33b.
- the slide 20 is held laterally and vertically inside the external part by the cells.
- the slider is however free to slide parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet.
- the shape of the rounded ends of the pads 35a and 35b is complementary to the shape of the bottom of the cells 33a, 33b so that the bottom of each cell constitutes a stop intended for stopping the slider 20.
- the stops provided for stopping the slider 20 are not attachments, but rather come from material with the half-cover 5.
- the pads 35a, 35b are not attachments. They indeed come in one piece with the slide 20. It will be understood that these characteristics contribute to increasing the robustness of the device and that they thus make it safer.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B are perspective views of the fine adjustment device of the present example.
- the figures show the device in two configurations associated respectively with the basic lengths and with making the bracelet comfortable. Note that the views of Figures 4A and 4B are cut away. Indeed, in order to facilitate the understanding of the operation of the device, we has not shown the outer side of the upper face 29 of the cover. This omission makes it possible to make visible the structures formed in hollow in the interior side of the upper face.
- Figures 5A, 5B and 5C are three cross-sectional views of one of the two fine adjustment devices of the bracelet of Figures 1 A, 1 B, 2A and 2B, the section being taken along the plane AA of Figures 4A and 4B.
- the first end 27 of the lever 23 is bent and it is arranged to cooperate selectively with the immobilization hole 37 or the auxiliary hole 39 so as to allow to immobilize the internal part of the fine adjustment device, relative to its external part, in one or the other of two relative positions associated respectively with the base length of the bracelet and with its ease of use length .
- the internal part further comprises a control member arranged to allow manual control of the lever 23 to move the first end 27 away from the immobilization hole, so as to separate the internal part of the external part of the fine adjustment device.
- the lever 23 has two ends opposite one another. The first of these ends is the curved end 27, and the second of these ends is a planar end 53.
- the latter is arranged to serve as a manually operable control member, so that a user can pivot the lever 23 by pressing on the flat end 53 so as to constrain the spring 25 (FIG. 7) and to release the curved end 27 from the immobilization hole 37 or from the auxiliary hole 39.
- the spring 25 suddenly folds the end 27 of the lever 23 in the immobilization hole 37, so that there is an audible "click” capable of warning the user that the lever has returned to the initial position as illustrated in FIG. 5A.
- the wall of the auxiliary hole 39 is inclined so as to allow the end 27 of the lever 23 to be retained inside the auxiliary hole 39 when a possible force acting on the bracelet strand which is integral with the internal part would be able to push the latter deeper into the external part, so that the bracelet would be shortened.
- the shape of the auxiliary hole according to this variant makes it possible to avoid any risk of involuntary shortening.
- Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view along the plane BB of Figure 4B.
- the axis around which the lever 23 is arranged to pivot is formed by the assembly of a pin 45 and of a notched reduction tube 47.
- the reduction tube is driven into the bore 41 b of the slide 20, and the notched pin 45 is arranged so as to pass through the slide right through. It thus extends transversely through the bore 41 a, the housing 21 and the reduction tube 47 which is driven into the bore 41 b.
- the head of the notched pin 45 is housed in the bore 41 a, and on the other side, the opposite end of the pin is retained inside the notched tube 47.
- the pin 45 successively passes through a first of two helical portions of the spring 25, then a bore 43 through the lever 23, and then again the other helical portion of the spring 25.
- the curved end 27 of the lever 23 is arranged to selectively cooperate with the immobilization hole 37 or the auxiliary hole 39 so as to allow the internal part to be immobilized relative to the external part in one or the other of two relative positions associated respectively with the base length of the bracelet and with its comfortable length.
- Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view along the plane DD of Figure 6. Figures 6 and 7 show in particular the spring 25 of the fine adjustment device.
- the lever 23 and the spring 25 are arranged in the housing of the slide 20.
- the lever 23 is mounted on an axis constituted by the notched pin 45 and that 'It also has two lateral supports 49a, 49b which are arranged in parallel on either side of the lever itself.
- the spring 25 has two helical portions spaced from each other by a distance which corresponds substantially to the width of the central part of the lever 23, and which are also crossed by the notched pin 45. The two helical portions of the spring 25 are connected to each other by a bent intermediate portion (not visible) which draws a "U" shape.
- the spring 25 also comprises two straight end portions which extend parallel to one another and transversely to the axis of the helical portions. Still referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, it can be understood that the spring 25 is mounted so as to overlap the lever 23, its two end portions being respectively wedged on the two lateral supports 49a, 49b. It will also be understood that, when the spring 25 is mounted on the lever 23, its intermediate portion in the shape of a "U" is arranged to come into abutment against the interior side of a wall portion constituting the upper face of the slide 20.
- Figures 8A and 8B are two cross-sectional views along the plane EE of Figure 6, and which show the fine adjustment device in two configurations associated respectively with the base length and the length of putting the bracelet in comfort .
- Figures 8A and 8B also show the end link 63 of the bracelet strand 1 1 (FIGS. 1A, 1 B, 2A and 2B), and it can also be seen that the slide 20 of the fine adjustment device and the end link 63 are articulated l 'one over the other.
- the slide 20 has a main part arranged to be inserted between the two lateral faces 31 a, 31 b of the external part (FIG. 6), and a narrower connecting part (referenced 60).
- the articulation between the end link 63 and the slide 20 is produced in a conventional manner by means of a pin 65 and a tube (not shown) which are inserted in a transverse bore 61 which has the connecting part 60 of the slide
- the internal part still has an auxiliary stop.
- the auxiliary stop is essentially formed by a rectangular plate 55 whose thickness is close to that of the upper face 29 of the external part, and by two fixing arms 57a, 57b (FIG. 6) arranged perpendicular to the plate and each having a through hole.
- the rectangular plate 55 is placed on the upper face of the slide 20 and the two fixing arms 57a, 57b enter the housing 21 through an opening in the upper face of the slide 20. It can be seen in FIG.
- the ends of the fixing arms are each housed in a space existing between one of the helical portions of the spring 25 and one of the two side walls of the housing 21.
- the pin 45 passes through the two through holes, so that the auxiliary stop 55 is held in place on the slide thanks to the pin and the two fixing arms 57a, 57b.
- the width of the notch 59 on the upper face 29 of the external part is adapted to allow the rectangular plate 55 constituting the auxiliary stop to be received .
- the external part of the fine adjustment device is articulated on one of the pivoting blades of the clasp, while the internal part of the device is, for its part, attached by its connecting part 60 to a strand of the bracelet.
- the length of the bracelet 1 decreases when the internal part is slid in the external part in the direction of the closing edge 19a, and that conversely, the length of the bracelet increases when the internal part of the fine adjustment device is slid in the other direction.
- the travel of the internal part inside the external part is limited in both directions. As shown in FIG.
- the position occupied by the internal part relative to the external part when the rounded ends of the two pads 35a and 35b abut against the bottom of the cells 33a, 33b corresponds to the configuration of the fine adjustment device for which the length of bracelet 1 is maximum.
- the position occupied by the internal part relative to the external part when the edge of the rectangular plate 55 abuts against the bottom of the notch 59 corresponds to the configuration of the fine adjustment device in which the length of the bracelet is minimum.
- the rectangular plate 55 is in abutment against the bottom of the notch 59 when the curved end 27 of the lever 23 is engaged in the immobilization hole 37. It will also be understood, by referring simultaneously in FIGS. 4B and 5C, that the two pads 35a and 35b are in abutment against the bottom of the cells 33a, 33b when the curved end 27 of the lever 23 is engaged in the auxiliary hole 39. It can therefore be understood that, in accordance with the first exemplary embodiment of the invention, the base length of the bracelet corresponds to its minimum length, and that the comfortable length corresponds to the maximum length of the bracelet. According to this example, the adjustment device therefore has only two stable configurations associated respectively with two different lengths of bracelet.
- Figures 9A, 9B and 9C are three cross-sectional views of a fine adjustment device according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- This second embodiment has many features in common with the first embodiment described above in connection with FIGS. 1A to 8B.
- the elements of the fine adjustment device of FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C which are identical or analogous to elements of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference number increased by 100.
- the fine adjustment device of the present example has three blind holes (instead of two). It can therefore be understood that, as will be seen in more detail below, the fine adjustment device of the present example has three stable configurations associated respectively with three different strap lengths. Still referring to FIGS. 9A, 9B and 9C, one can see two first blind holes which have substantially the same depth and which will be called hereinafter "first immobilization hole 137a" and "second immobilization hole 137b".
- auxiliary hole 139 a third blind hole which is shallower and which will be called hereinafter "auxiliary hole 139".
- the first end 127 of the lever 123 is arranged to selectively cooperate with one of the two immobilization holes 137a and 137b, or with the auxiliary hole 139, so as to allow the internal part to be immobilized of the fine adjustment device, with respect to its external part, in one or another of three relative positions associated respectively with a short length, with an average length, and with a long length of the bracelet.
- the rectangular plate 155 is in abutment against the bottom of the notch 159 when the end bent 127 of lever 123 is engaged in the first immobilization hole 137a. It will also be understood that when the curved end 127 of the lever 123 is engaged in the auxiliary hole 139 (FIG. 9C), these are the two pads 135a, 135b which are in abutment against the bottom of the cells 133a, 133b.
- the configuration of the fine adjustment device in which the lever 123 cooperates with the auxiliary hole 139 is associated with the maximum length of the bracelet, and the configuration in which the lever cooperates with the first hole immobilization 137a is associated with the minimum length of the bracelet.
- the configuration of the fine adjustment device in which the lever cooperates with the second immobilization hole 137b is associated with an intermediate length of the bracelet.
- FIGS. 10A and 10B are perspective views similar to those of FIGS. 1A and 1B from the outside of a bracelet, the bracelet not being of the same model as in FIGS. 1A and 1B, while the two fine adjustment devices also conform to the first embodiment of the invention.
- FIGS. 10A and 10B illustrate how the fine adjustment device of the invention can be adapted to another model of bracelet, requiring a minimum of modifications. It will further be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to a person skilled in the art can be made to the embodiment which is the subject of the present description without departing from the scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims.
