Definitions

  • the object of the invention is to prevent the mutual displacement in the longitudinal direction of the articulated groove in a bracelet, in particular a watch strap of this type, and consequently the removal of the hinged band links with means that are simple in terms of construction, easy to manufacture and cost-effective to produce.
  • this object is achieved in that, in order to prevent the mutual displacement of two band links which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, at least one locking ball is introduced into an approximately perpendicular to the bracelet surface in which a band link is provided in the area of the articulated groove and overlaps this receiving bore with frictional engagement and in engages an associated incision provided in the joint approach of the other band link.
  • a simple locking ball is used to prevent the mutual displacement of the wrist-linked bracelet links in the longitudinal direction of the joint groove, which is cheaply available in any, even very small dimensions and from any material as a commercially available product.
  • this ball is only necessary in each band link in the area of the articulated groove to have an overlapping hole that is perpendicular to the area of the bracelet and aligned with this hole in Joint approach to create a simple incision, which can be achieved easily and quickly with relatively little effort and cost.
  • the locking ball is easy to handle when inserted into the associated mounting hole and does not require any special tools or working methods.
  • the mounting hole for the locking ball can overlap the joint groove of the bracelet link by any proportion of the hole diameter or the joint groove depth.
  • the receiving bore for the locking ball is preferably designed as a blind bore. This prevents dirt from entering this hole, since its only open mouth is closed by the inserted locking ball.
  • the blind holes for receiving the locking balls are only visible on one side of the band links, so that it is possible to select them on the outer visible side of the bracelet, e.g. to be arranged as decorative elements or on the inner side of the band, which is invisible when the bracelet is worn.
  • the frictional connection between the locking ball and the wall of the receiving bore can be achieved in that the diameter of the receiving bore by a small amount, corresponding to the material of the band links and the locking balls, e.g. is about 0.05 mm smaller than the diameter of the locking ball. So e.g. In the case of metallic bracelet links and locking balls, the diameter of the locking balls can be approximately 1.0 mm and the diameter of the locating holes can be approximately 0.95 mm.
  • an incision is particularly advantageous which, in plan view, has an approximately rectangular shape with side walls approximately parallel to one another, because such an incision is particularly easy to produce and, at the same time, prevents the mutually articulated bracelet links from being displaced with the greatest possible security.
  • the band links can be detached from one another simply and quickly only by a stronger mutual displacement across the bracelet without special tools. It is therefore possible to link individual band links e.g. to shorten the bracelet without difficulty.
  • the bracelet shown is intended in particular for use as a watch strap and consists of adjacently arranged, articulated links 1.
  • each band link On its side opposite the joint set 2, each band link has a joint groove 3, which likewise preferably extends over the entire corresponding side of the band link 1 and has a circular segment-shaped cross section adapted to the joint extension 2.
  • Two band links 1 lying next to each other are connected to one another in a form-fitting, articulated manner in that the joint extension 2 of one band link is pushed in its longitudinal direction into the joint groove 3 of the other band link.
  • each band link 1 is preferably made of metal and each band link has a slightly bevelled surface 4 on at least one side of its joint attachment 2 on the head side, which means that the two hinged bands are pivoted to a limited extent links 1 in the direction of the restriction 4, as shown in dash-dotted lines in Fig. 6.
  • each band link 1 can also have such a bevel 4 on both sides of its joint attachment 2.
  • Each band link 1 has in one of its wide areas in the center in the region of its articulated groove 3 a blind bore 5 directed perpendicularly to the plane of the band link, which bores the articulated groove 3 e.g. about half of the bore diameter and / or the joint groove depth.
  • an incision 6 is provided in the joint attachment 2 of each band link 1, which has an approximately rectangular shape in plan view with parallel side walls.
  • the blind bores 5 are designed as receiving bores for one metallic locking ball 7 each, which has a larger diameter than the diameter of the bore 5 such that it can be inserted into this bore 5 with frictional engagement and held therein.
  • the locking ball 7 can e.g. have a diameter of about 1.0 mm.
  • the diameter of the receiving bore can then be approximately 0.95 mm.
  • the locking ball 7 is inserted into the receiving bore 5 of one band link and pressed so deep into this bore 5 that it is in the associated, in the joint approach 2 of the other, articulated bracelet link 1 provided incision 6 engages, as shown in particular in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the blocking ball 7 prevents the mutual displacement and, consequently, the unintentional separation of the two band bands 1 which are articulated to one another.
  • the receiving bore 5 for the locking ball 7 has such a depth that the locking ball 7 can optionally occupy two different positions therein.
  • the links 1 of the bracelet or watch band are each arranged with a single, central one in the region of the articulated groove 3 Receiving hole 5 for a locking ball 7 and each with an aligned cut 6 in the joint approach 2.
  • each band link 1 two or more receiving holes 5 distributed in the longitudinal direction of the articulated groove 3, each of which overlaps one locking ball 7 and two or more incisions 6 in the articulated attachment 2, each with one receiving hole 5.
