Definitions

the present invention relates to a leather watch strap provided with a folding clasp so as to form a closed loop in the open position of the clasp.
Such watch straps are very common. They are fitted with a folding clasp in two or three elements often called a wallet clasp or a folding clasp.
the leather strap is generally attached to the watch by means of a strap.
these bracelets When worn on the wrist, these bracelets form a more or less marked and unsightly angle with the watch. In addition, it can sometimes be uneasy introduce your hand into the watch strap to fix it on your wrist because the loop formed by the watch strap when the clasp is open sometimes tends to close unexpectedly.
the object of the invention is to obviate these drawbacks.
the wristwatch according to the invention is characterized in that the leather surrounds a frame made up of two flexible blades, one end of which is rigidly secured to the watch and the other end of which is articulated on the clasp.
This flexible frame rigidly secured to the box simultaneously ensures the tensile strength of the bracelet, the maintenance in the open position of the loop formed by the watch strap when the clasp is open and a harmonious curvature of the leather without elbow at the start of the box.
the frame is preferably chosen to be very thin and very flexible so as to offer only a very slight resistance when the clasp is closed. Given this very small thickness, the blade does not, as one might believe, have the effect of increasing the thickness of the bracelet, but on the contrary its resistance allows the use of very thin leather so that the the final thickness of the bracelet is less than that of a bracelet made of conventional leather. It is therefore possible to make a resistant watch bracelet with a light and thin appearance.
the soul of the bracelet consists of two blades 1 and 2 in beryllium bronze with a thickness of 0.15 mm. At one of their ends, the blades are embedded and welded in a metal ring 3, for example in brass, forming part of the watch case (fig. 3). The other end of the blades 1 and 2 is folded back on itself so as to form a fastener 4 of tubular shape for the articulated fixing of the bracelet on the clasp 5.
the elastic blades 1 and 2 are surrounded by the leather of the bracelet. The leather is glued to the blades.
the clasp 5 is of the folding clasp or double wallet type and has a central part 7 at the ends of which are articulated two arms 8 and 9 which fold back and lock on the central part 7.
the strap attachments to the clasp are hidden by a cover plate 10.
the bracelet in the open position tends to remain or return to the deployed position shown in Figure 1.
the blades 1 and 2 can have a more or less marked initial curvature, so that the elastic force is just sufficient to maintain the bracelet in the deployed position as shown in FIG. 1, without however exerting too strong a pull on the clasp, nor enduring too much stress strong at the level of the installation.
This natural deployment of the bracelet facilitates the positioning of the wristwatch on the wrist, as well as its removal.
the elastic core also ensures a support and a harmonious curvature of the leather strap.
the metal blades could be made of another metal, for example steel, and they could be rigidly fixed in another way to the case, in particular to the middle part, for example by means of screws. Fasteners 4 could be added.
the flexible blades can also be made of a non-metallic material, for example synthetic material such as nylon (registered trademark).
a plastic blade has the advantage of being able to be produced by molding and of allowing better adhesion, by gluing, of the leather on the blade.
