Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking, more particularly to devices for attaching a bracelet to a watch.
- a watch strap is an ornament generally surrounding the wrist. It can be of several types such as extendable, with cover or even awning and consists for example of two parts connected by a loop.
- the two ends of the bracelet are attached by rings or other means to the studs, hinges or handles of the watch case.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a flexible device for attaching a bracelet to a watch, in particular avoiding the use of bars.
- a watch comprising a housing, at least one attachment such as a bracelet and a device connecting the housing-attachment assembly, characterized in that the attachment is connected to the housing by means of at least one element.
- long flexible hose arranged to maintain the attachment against the housing, the long flexible element in particular delimiting a space in which the housing can be inserted and maintained by contact with the flexible element around its periphery.
- the fastener usually consists of a bracelet, the two ends of which attach to the opposite parts of the case or can consist of a body, for example a clip, which bears against the case and is connected to it. the latter by the flexible element forming a loop around it.
- An embodiment, which applies to all types of watches, of a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch consists of a flexible fixing element, two guides, two case supports and '' a watch case, in which:
- the flexible element is a long object of small section, in particular a wire of deformable plastic, which can be joined by welding, gluing, etc., or cut according to the embodiment.
- the guides are tubes made of essentially non-deformable material protecting the bracelet and guiding the flexible element.
- the supports are the intermediate elements between the bracelet and the watch case whose shape matches the shapes of the latter and are made of a material which does not degrade the surface of the case.
- these supports are integral with the ends of the bracelet.
- the flexible element is fixed either to a fastener or at least to a housing support.
- the guides are introduced into the rings of the bracelet.
- one end of the flexible element is passed through a guide and then into the other.
- the two ends of the flexible element are then secured by means adapted to the material. component of the flexible element (welding, bonding, etc.).
- the connector is inserted in one of the guides and set in the corresponding ring of the bracelet, this in order to guarantee the solidity of the assembly.
- the ends of the bracelet are thus joined by the two arms of the flexible element which constitute not only the connection between said ends but also the space in which the watch case is introduced.
- the rings of the bracelet, counting the guides through which the flexible element passes, are introduced into the supports by simple pressure.
- the watch case is of traditional shape or not and is not limited as to the choice of the material to be used during its manufacture. It compirend a ledge on opposite parts of its periphery to receive a flexible element. This groove or rim can extend over the entire periphery of the housing.
- the latter advantageously comprises a first lower rim and a second upper rim arranged in particular symmetrically around a median axis allowing the reversibility of the housing.
- the upper and lower flanges allow the housing to be snapped into the supports.
- the flexible element By spreading the flexible element, the latter is inserted against the lower or upper rim of the housing, which maintains the housing.
- the device which is the subject of the present invention makes it possible to move or CD to hanger the watch without altering the surface of the case because the flexible element, which fixes the watch to the strap or other fastener, is in particular of synthetic material which is not very extensible such as nylon or metal.
- FIG. 1 represents, by way of example, a perspective view of a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch.
- FIG. 2 represents a schematic section of this device for attaching a bracelet to a watch.
- Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a watch holder.
- Figure 4 shows a side view of a reversible watch case.
- FIG. 5 represents a perspective view of a guide of a flexible element.
- a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch comprises:
- a flexible fixing element (5 - Fig. 1 + 2), to join two ends (40a, 40b - Fig.1) of a bracelet or other fastener (7 - Fig. 1 + 2) by entering into the rings (6a, 6b - Fig. 2) of the bracelet (7).
- the bracelet or other fastener (7) is integral with a profiled internal part which receives and which supports the case (1).
- the flexible element (5) of circular section, is in particular a nylon thread and its length is variable depending on the pressure which it is desired to exert on the housing (1).
- the flexible element (5) has two ends (not shown) which are unified at the time of assembly.
- the guides (4a, 4b) which prevent the shearing of the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7) as seen previously, are machined so that the internal diameter (31 - Fig. 5) is larger than the outside diameter of the flexible element (5) and the outside diameter (33 - Fig. 5) is smaller than or equal to the inside diameter of the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7).
- the guides (4a, 4b) are only essential if the material of the bracelet (7) presents a risk of shearing.
- the housing supports (2a, 2b - Fig. + 2) which secure the housing (1) against lateral and vertical displacement, have an outer part (12 - Fig.3) semicircular in cross section, allowing the insertion of the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7) and of an interior part (11 - Fig. 3) composed of a base (14 - Fig. 3) on which the case (1) rests, d 'a groove (13 - Fig. 3) for fixing the housing (1) against the base (14) and a bearing surface (15 - Fig. 3) serving as a guide for the introduction of the housing (1) in the supports (2a, 2b).
- the flexible element (5) holds the strap (7) against the external parts (12) of the supports (2a, 2b) and prevents longitudinal movements of the case (1).
- the watch case (1) has a rim (8 - Fig. 4) on its lower periphery which is inserted in the groove (13) of the support (2) in order to ensure its fixing against the base (14 ) of the support (12) and allows the accommodation of the flexible element (5) in order to avoid any untimely displacement, as seen previously.
- the housing (1) advantageously comprises a first lower rim (8) and a second upper rim (9) arranged symmetrically around a median axis (20) allowing the reversibility of the housing.
- the housing has only one rim, in particular central.
- the guides (4a, 4b) are introduced into the rings (6a, 6b).
- the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7), containing the guides (4a, 4b) through which the flexible element (5) passes, are introduced into the external part (12) of the supports (2a, 2b) by one touch.
- the housing (1) which advantageously comprises a lower rim (8) and an upper rim (9), is fixed by snap-fastening in the supports (2a, 2b). By moving aside the flexible element (5), the latter is inserted against the lower rim (8) or the upper rim (9) of the case (1) according to the side of the watch that the user chooses, which ensures that said element is maintained. housing (1).
- the device for attaching a bracelet to a watch described is suitable for all types of bracelet and watch form. It comprises at least one flexible element (5) which forms a complete loop.
- the object of the present invention is a watch comprising a case (1), a bracelet (7) or other fastener and a device connecting the assembly.
- one end of the flexible element (5) is passed through one of the guides (* 4a, 4b) and then into the other.
- the two ends of the flexible element (5) are then joined together by means adapted to the material making up the flexible element (5> (welding, bonding, etc.).
- the connector is then introduced into one of the guides (2a, 2b ) and crimped in the corresponding ring of the bracelet (7), this in order to guarantee the solidity of the assembly.
- the ends of the bracelet (7) are thus joined by the two sides of the flexible element (5) which constitute not only the connection between said ends but also determine the space (41) for introducing the case (1) of the watch.
- the rings (6a, 6b) of the bracelet (7), containing the guides (4a, 4b) through which the flexible element (5) passes, are introduced into the grooves (13) of the supports (2a, 2b) by simple pressure.
- the housing (1) is snapped into the supports (2a, 2b) and, by moving the two sides of the flexible element (5) apart and inserting them into the lower groove (8) of the housing (1), we ensures the positioning of the latter.
- a fastener consisting of a body, which bears against only one side of the watch case, and a flexible element (5), which forms an arranged loop, to connect said watch case (1 ) to the clip.
- This body would, for example, be a clip allowing the watch to be attached to clothing or the like.
- It can advantageously include a profiled internal part which serves as a support for the housing (1), or can cooperate with a support which is inserted between the housing (1) and the fastener (7), such as the supports (2a, 2b) described.
