Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bracelet, in particular for a watch, consisting of a chain of elongated flat elements, provided on their lateral faces with a groove of circular section, two adjacent flat elements being interconnected by a connecting element provided laterally of two parallel cylindrical ribs, intended to engage, by sliding, in the circular grooves of two adjacent flat elements.
- Such bracelets are already known, for example, from Swiss Patent No.602 034.
- the connecting elements are shorter than the flat links and the means of fixing between the flat links and the connecting elements are constituted by plugs placed at the ends of the circular grooves after the connection elements have been fitted.
- connection means are known between the links of a bracelet by steel balls.
- An example of this type of bracelet is described in patent CH No. 614 360 in which the elements of the bracelet are profiled so as to interpenetrate longitudinally with a lateral clearance allowing the insertion of the steel balls between the lateral faces in look. Compression of the links in the transverse axis of the bracelet makes it possible to trap the balls between said opposite faces thanks to the deformation of the elements.
- the present invention aims to produce an improved bracelet, of the type described above, and in which the connecting means between the various elements are mounted quickly and easily and also make it possible to provide removable elements for adjusting the length of the bracelet.
- the bracelet according to the invention is characterized in that the fixing between the flat elements and the connecting elements is ensured by a spherical connecting member surmounted by a flat cylindrical head, said connecting member being introduced in a cylindrical orifice perpendicular to the plane of the elements and which intersects the circular groove of the flat element and the cylindrical rib of the element liaison ment.
- the invention further relates to the method of mounting such a bracelet, characterized in that a chain of flat elements is assembled by sliding connecting elements between two adjacent flat elements, which are drilled at minus two cylindrical orifices in each flat element, perpendicular to its plane, so that each orifice intersects both the circular groove of the flat element and the cylindrical rib of the connecting element, which the organ is introduced of connection in said orifice and that a desired number of elements of the chain are separated to form a bracelet.
- this bracelet is greatly facilitated since it is both the flat elements and the pre-assembled connecting elements which are drilled simultaneously in a single operation to form the orifice into which will then be introduced either by hunting, or by screwing, the connecting member. It is thus certain that the elements are well arranged relatively to each other and the introduction of the connecting member can be carried out without difficulty.
- the bracelet consists of a chain of flat elements 1 (fig. 1), cut from a profile, these flat elements 1 being elongated, solid, and provided on their lateral faces with a groove 2 of circular section. which opens onto the lateral face by a slot 3 with a width f less than the diameter d of the groove.
- the lower edge 4 of the slot 3 is slightly set back from the upper edge 5 and is further rounded, so as to form a clearance allowing the articulation to be able to operate towards the interior of the bracelet.
- Two adjacent flat elements 1 are interconnected by a connecting element 6 (fig.2) laterally provided with two parallel cylindrical ribs 7, the diameter of which is approximately equal to, or slightly less than the diameter of the groove 2.
- These cylindrical ribs 7 are connected to the body of the element 6 by a rectangular rib 8 whose thickness f 'is approximately equal to or slightly less than the width f of the slot 3.
- the flat elements 1 are therefore assembled by sliding connecting elements between two adjacent elements 6.
- the cylindrical ribs 7 slide into the circular grooves 2 of two adjacent flat elements while the rectangular ribs 8 s' engage in slots 3; the upper edges 5 of the slot 3 are applied against the rectangular rib 8 while the rounded lower edges 4 leave a clearance which allows the joint to function.
- the flat elements and the connecting elements are drilled simultaneously to form orifices 9, perpendicular to the plane of the elements and which intersect the circular groove 2 of the flat element 1 and therefore the cylindrical rib 7 of the connecting element 6.
- orifices 9 are provided per element, preferably located on the center line, but two pairs of orifices could also be provided equidistant from this center line.
- connecting members 10, 11 comprising a spherical part 12 surmounted by a flat cylindrical head 13, 15 are introduced into the orifices thus formed.
- a connecting element 10 (fig. 7) is used, the cylindrical head 13 of which has the knurled edge 14, while in the event of a possible dismantling of the elements with a view to adjusting the length of the bracelet, a connecting element 11 (fig.8) is used, the head 15 of which is provided with a thread 16 and a slot 17 for the passage of a screwdriver.
- the non-removable connecting members 10 are introduced into the cylindrical orifices 9 by force removal while the removable connecting elements 11 are simply screwed into orifices 9 previously tapped.
- the dimensions of the connecting member 9 or 10 are such that the diameter of the spherical part 12 is approximately equal to the diameter of the cylindrical rib 7 and the depth of the orifice 9 is such that the spherical part 12 reaches approximately the same level than the bottom of the cylindrical groove 2.
- this connecting member 10,11 does not cause any discomfort during operation of the joint, the spherical part 12 of the connecting member 10,11 does not interfere with the rotation of the cylindrical rib 7 in the groove 2 of the same profile.
- the height of the connecting member 10, 11 is further such that the flat cylindrical head is flush with the surface of the flat element 1.
- a long chain of flat elements 1 and of connection 2 is assembled together, their drilling is carried out and the connecting members 10 are driven into the orifices 9 before proceeding with the separation of a desired number of elements of the chain to constitute a strand of bracelet.
- certain unassembled elements are reserved to allow this separation, as well as the introduction of removable connecting members 11.
- the flat elements 1 and of connection 6 are of the same length.
- the flat elements 1 and of connection have their milled ends so that a connection element has the same length as two flat elements 1 which are adjacent to it.
- the end faces of the connecting elements 6 are flush with the end faces of the two adjacent flat elements.
- the members the link 10, 11 are provided to be mounted. on the underside of the bracelet. It is obvious that they could also be mounted from the upper face, and made of a material of a color different from that of the flat elements so as to create an additional aesthetic effect.
