Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sheath for a bracelet with a closure loop of a wristwatch, the sheath being intended to at least partially cover the visible surface of the bracelet when the wristwatch is worn on the wrist by an individual.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide, with respect to that of a closure loop bracelet, a means of changing the appearance of any wristwatch with such ease that any individual able to use its hands can take advantage of this possibility and can do so as often as they wish, having the possibility at any time of increasing the variety of aspects at their disposal (even even a personalized aspect) and even of using these possibilities for several wristwatches.
  • the sheath is mainly made of fabric, preferably LYCRA®.
  • the same sheath can be adapted to bracelets of different widths and it may be sufficient, for example, to manufacture, on the one hand, sheaths of a size for women's wristwatches and, on the other hand, sheaths of another dimension for men's wristwatches.
  • the wall of at least one sleeve associated with the visible surface of the wristwatch is covered, on its visible face, with at least a stiffening and / or decorative effect reinforcing material.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective a first embodiment of the sheath of the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows in perspective a second embodiment of the sheath of the invention.
  • Figure 3 shows in perspective a third embodiment of the sheath of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal section made through the sheath of the embodiment of FIG. 3, after having added end reinforcement, stiffness reinforcement and decoration elements to it.
  • the sheath 1 (FIG. 1) is intended to be slid around a bracelet 2 with a closing loop 3 of a wristwatch 4 (shown in phantom in the drawings) so as to at least partially cover the visible surface 5 bracelet 2 located on the same side as dial 6 of the watch itself 6A.
  • the material or materials used for the manufacture of the sheath 1 can be various.
  • a preferred material for the sleeves 7, 10 and possibly for the connecting element 13 is an elastic material which advantageously slides easily over the materials of the bracelets 5 and which is chosen so that the sleeves 7, 10 can adapt to different strap widths 5 and so that the connecting element 13 can act to bring the two sleeves 7, 10 on either side of the watch 6A closer to each other.
  • the dimension of the connecting element 13 in the direction of the length of the wristwatch 4 can be chosen so as to be common to different dimensions of the watch case 6A taken in the aforementioned direction.
  • LYCRA® fabric whose elasticity is particularly suitable for sheath 1.
  • the connecting element 13 can be detachable from one or two sleeves 7, 10, for example in the manner of the VELCRO® system, or be permanently fixed to these.
  • the sheath 1 (FIG. 2) comprises a ribbon 20 which is intended to be positioned along the dorsal side of the wristwatch 4 (in phantom).
  • Each sleeve 7, 10 comprises as a first wall the ribbon 20 and as a second wall a portion of ribbon 21 of length corresponding to that of the strap part 9, 12 associated with covering, each portion of ribbon 21 being fixed to the ribbon 20 along of their longitudinal edges 21A.
  • This fixing can be carried out so as to be located outside the sleeve 7, 10 (as shown) or inside the latter when the sheath 1 is placed on the wristwatch 4.
  • the element of connection 13 is then constituted by an intermediate section of the ribbon 20, comprised between the first and second sleeves 7, 10.
  • the sheath 1 (FIG. 3) has a cross section in the form of a flattened tube 30 then comprising two superimposed walls 31, 32 and having a length corresponding to that to be covered with the wristwatch 4.
  • the wall 31 intended to form the visible wall of the sheath 1, on the side of the dial 6, comprises over its entire width, until it is connected with the other wall 32, a first transverse notch 33, located at a distance from the first end 8 of the flattened tube 30, corresponding to the length to be covered with the strap part 9 without buckle.
  • the wall 31 also includes a second transverse notch 34 located at a distance from the other end 11, of the flattened tube 30, corresponding to the length of the bracelet part 10 with closure loop 3, the notches 33 and 34 may be similar .
  • the distance between the two notches 33 and 34 corresponds to that of the bottom of the watch 6A.
  • the connecting element 13 is constituted by the section of the wall 32 situated opposite the portion 35, of the wall 31, between the two notches 33, 34.
  • Each sleeve 7, 10 is formed by the corresponding portion of the flattened tube 30 situated respectively between the end 8 and the notch 33 or the end 11 and the notch 34.
  • each strap part 9, 12 is introduced into the corresponding sleeve, respectively 7 or 10, from the respective notch 33 or 34, so that the bottom of the watch 6A is positioned on the portion 35 which is then pressed on the wall 32 when the wristwatch 4 is worn on the wrist.
  • the flattened tube 30 can be a LYCRA® tube woven continuously and without longitudinal seam, produced on a circular loom, possibly with patterns in the weaving.
  • the flattened tube 30 can be obtained (FIG. 3) from a strip 36 of material folded at 37 parallel to its two longitudinal edges 38, these being fixed to each other by welding, gluing, puncturing, etc., preferably in the middle of the wall 32 not cut.
  • the first sleeve 7 intended for the strap part 9 without buckle can be closed at the corresponding free end 8 of the sheath 1, for example by means of a metal reinforcement element 39 set on this end 8. Then the length the inner part of this sleeve 7 must be adapted to entirely accommodate this part of bracelet 5.
  • Each sleeve 7, 10 may have, for example for decoration purposes, discontinuities, openings 40 (FIG. 2), etc. in the upper wall and / or, for example for the barb 41 (Figures 1 and 2) of the loop 3, through holes 42 ( Figure 3) in the two walls 31 and 32.
  • These through holes 42 can be avoided in the case of fabrics such as LYCRA® because in this case, the barb 41 can be pushed without damage through this fabric between threads of LYCRA® which are easily separated.
  • a metal U-shaped reinforcement element 43 in cross section can be crimped at each open end of the sleeves 7, 10 and in particular at the ends, of the wall 31 of these, including at each end resulting from the notches 33, 34.
  • FIG. 4 also represents a case of decoration of the sheath 1, the material of the walls 31 and 32 of which is a LYCRA® fabric having at the start a strip shape.
  • a piece of double-sided adhesive fabric 50 can be laid on the flat LYCRA® strip, so that this piece 50 extends from the notch 34 towards the end 11 of the sleeve 10
  • a piece of cardboard (not shown) can be placed around the piece 50 and the piece of silk, on the LYCRA® fabric, in order to protect it from heat.
  • a heated iron (not shown) is then pressed on the piece of silk 51 resting on the piece 50, applied to the LYCRA® fabric pressed in this way on an appropriate support (not shown). The heat of the iron activates the bonding between silk, part 50 and LYCRA®. It then suffices to crimp the reinforcing element 43 of this end of the sleeve 10 onto all of the layers of silk of piece 51, of piece 50, of LYCRA® fabric (wall 31) and of silk of tab 52 In addition, a finishing seam can be made on the periphery of the piece of silk 51, through the piece 50 and the wall 31.
  • a similar decoration can be placed symmetrically on the other sleeve 7.
  • any material can be envisaged, whether it be natural or synthetic fiber fabrics, natural or synthetic film materials, various leathers, precious or non-precious metals, natural stones or synthetics, etc.
  • the sheath 1 can also serve as an advertising medium, advertising inscriptions which can be printed, by any known means, on standard sheaths produced for men's watches and for women's watches.
  • the reinforcing elements 39, 43 can be made of natural or synthetic material, and be crimped, glued, welded, etc.
  • the sheath 1 can be completed (FIG. 4) by a tongue 55 (bearing for example a trade mark) which extends along one or two notches 33, 34 and which is folded as shown in the figure 4.
  • this tongue 55 can be fixed to the end of the corresponding sleeve 7, 10, using the reinforcing element 43 of this end.
  • This tongue 55 can be fixed either inside the sleeve 7, 10, and then pass through the notch 33, 34 (see the notch 34 in FIG. 4), or outside the sleeve 7, 10 (see notch 33).
  • This tongue 55 can be made of a different material (leather, plastics, etc.) from that of the other elements of the sheath 1.
