Definitions
- the invention relates to a wristwatch with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1. It is known to provide two pairs of mutually parallel extensions on the watch case, between each of which a spring bar is clamped. The extensions are also called impulses. The spring bars can be removed between the extensions to replace a watch strap. When the bracelet is mounted, the spring bar lies in a loop at the end of the watch strap.
- the disadvantage here is that the replacement of a bracelet without a special tool is difficult, so that the owner of the wristwatch generally depends on having the bracelet replaced by a specialist.
- Wristwatches with central lugs are also known.
- two eyelets protrude diametrically from the watch case, into which a pin can be inserted, which lies in a loop of a leather bracelet which has a recess for the eyelet in the central region of the pin.
- the disadvantage here is that the watch strap hangs relatively loosely in the eyelet and the bracelets together with their pins must be adapted to the special design of the middle lug.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a wrist watch on which standard watch straps can be changed very easily.
- a special locking part e.g. by means of a self-locking screw, which is screwed into the housing base, traversing the insertion opening of the receiving device.
- a closing part can - if desired - also be used in combination with a resilient snap.
- the case back is preferably designed such that the two recesses provided in it are open in opposite directions to the edge of the watch case. In this way, the ends of the watch strap can be fed to the recess of the case base without having to overcome a step. The recess in the bottom of the case falls outwards still not because it is filled by the bracelet.
- the second leg of the U-shaped strap only has to be moved out of its receiving device, in particular out of its undercut.
- the easiest way to do this is to use the watch strap to pull the second leg towards the opposite edge of the case base, i.e. towards the first leg. Then the second leg easily comes out of its receiving device and stands up by pivoting in the pivot bearing. Then the bracelet can be easily removed from the second leg.
- attaching a new bracelet proceed in the opposite direction: The bracelet is pushed onto the upright second leg of the bracket and then pressed into the recess, whereby it snaps into the recess. With the wristwatch removed, all of this can easily be done by hand and without the aid of a tool, so that changing the strap is in fact child's play, without the risk of the bracelet accidentally detaching from the watch case when worn.
- the new way of attaching the watch strap is not only particularly simple, it is also inexpensive because the complex spring bars are replaced by simple U-brackets, the length of which cannot be changed.
- the housing base flat and instead provide two lugs on opposite edge sections of the housing and make them so wide that they can accommodate the full length of the U-clips.
- a recess can be formed on the underside of these projections, in exactly the same way as the recess which is alternatively provided in the housing base. The advantage of this is that the housing can be made flatter.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a watch case back 1, which has a recess 2 at two diametrically opposite points; otherwise its underside is essentially flat.
- the two depressions are open towards opposite edge sections of the housing base and are otherwise delimited by three wall sections 3, 4 and 5, which are essentially perpendicular to one another.
- the longer boundary walls 3 run parallel to one another.
- a socket 6 which serves as a pivot bearing for a U-shaped bracket 7, which is inserted with its first leg 8 in the pivot bearing 6 and with its second leg 9 in the recess 2 and with its tip in engages an undercut 10 which is formed in a projection 11 of the short wall 5 at the edge of the housing base.
- the opening of the undercut 10 is directed against the long boundary wall 3 and its distance from it is matched to the dimensions of the bracket 7 such that the tip of the second leg 9 only then into the undercut can reach if the second leg 9 is previously approached against the spring force of the bracket 7 of the first leg 8.
- the tip 11 of the second leg 9 is therefore pressed into the undercut 11 by spring force and held securely therein.
- a watch strap is threaded with its end onto the second leg.
- the pull exerted on the second leg 9 pulls it all the more firmly into the undercut 11.
- Figure 2 shows the bracket 7 once in its locked position, once in its open position.
- a second embodiment of the invention is shown in Figure 3.
- identical or corresponding parts are identified by corresponding reference numbers.
- the second exemplary embodiment differs from the first exemplary embodiment in that the U-shaped bracket 7 does not lie in a recess in the housing base 1. Rather, an extension 15 is provided on the housing edge at two opposite points, which has a recess 2 on its underside, which corresponds to the depression in the housing base in the first embodiment and in which the bracket is arranged in the same way as in the first embodiment.
- the top of the extension 15 completely covers the strap 7, so that the type of fastening a watch strap is not visible from above, that is to say when the watch is worn on the arm.
