Definitions
- the invention relates to closures specially used to provide a bracelet clasp closure according to claims.
- Document FR 2,723,824 describes a folding clasp comprising a blade base consisting of two parallel parts whose ends are connected by rods receiving articulated arms located between said parts of the blade based. The two arms cooperate by snap-fastening with pins for the closure of the clasp, pins carried by a transverse and through bolt said parallel parts.
- This latching device has the same disadvantages than that of document EP 0.509.938 and moreover the stability transverse parallel parts forming the base blade is not guaranteed made of their great length and that they are connected only at their ends.
- the document CH 684.151 describes a folding clasp comprising two arms leaflets articulated at the ends of a central stretcher.
- This clasp has mounted on the central stretcher two latches sliding transversely by compared to this central stretcher, controlled by lifters, subject to action a spring tending to separate them from each other.
- the use of spring leads always risks of malfunction and complicates construction.
- a third drawback lies in the reliability and security of the closures. known folding clasp and snap. The locking forces are difficult to adjust, presenting a risk of inadvertent opening of the clasp.
- the objective of the present invention is to provide a solution to these problems creating a folding clasp, for general application, for example for a wristwatch, of a particularly compact and compatible construction with known and proven manufacturing techniques.
- FIGS 1a to 1c and 2a, 2b show a perspective and exploding view of a detail of different preferred embodiments of a folding clasp.
- Said folding clasp comprises at least one folding arm 1,2 articulated in an opening / closing plane OO ' with respect to a base blade 3.
- Said at least one folding arm 1,2 is removable around at least one axis articulation with at least one hinge rod 1.5,2.5.
- the clasp comprises two folding arms 1, 2 are removable around two articulation axes with two hinge pins 1.5, 2.5. It is of course possible, while remaining within the scope of the invention, to produce a clasp with only one folding arm.
- the folding clasp is characterized by a locking means 4 arranged on the base blade 3.
- Figures 2a and 2b distinguish between two preferred embodiments of a folding clasp.
- a first embodiment according to FIG. 2a shows a locking effected essentially by a moving part 4.5 of the locking means 4 with at least one inclined face tip 1.1,2.1 of said at least one folding arm 1.2 folded over the base blade 3 .
- This lock will be described in more detail with the aid of figures 3a and 3b.
- Another embodiment according to FIG. 2b also shows an initial locking effect carried out by a guide piece 4.3 of the locking means 4 with at least one cylindrical rod 1.40, 2.40 of said at least one folding arm 1.2 folded over the blade of base 3. This initial locking will be described in more detail with the aid of FIGS. 5a and 5b.
- These two interlocks are complementary.
- Said locking of the moving part 4.5 with at least one inclined end piece 1.1,2.1 is carried out by moving said moving part 4.5 in a plane TT ' substantially perpendicular to the opening / closing plane OO' of said at least one folding arm 1,2 .
- the plane TT ' is perpendicular (lateral) to the longitudinal direction of the clasp and respectively of a bracelet of a wristwatch.
- said moving part 4.5 slides on at least one lateral axis 4.1, 4.4.2 of the locking means 4. So that said moving part 4.5 is easily accessible, said locking means 4 comprises a button 4.4 securely fixed to said moving part 4.5.
- Said locking means 4 further comprises a guide part 4.3 having an opening 4.31 elongated in the direction of the plane TT ' , so that said button 4.4 being arranged inside said opening 4.31 is guided with play and maintained during the locking of said at least one folding arm 1,2.
- Said initial locking of the guide piece 4.3 of the locking means 4 with at least one cylindrical rod 1.40, 2.40 is carried out by moving said at least one folding arm 1.2 in the opening / closing plane OO '.
- a cylindrical rod 1.40,2.40 is fixed on the side of a fastener 1.4,2.4 of two folding arms 1,2.
- two cylindrical rods 1.40, 2.40 carry out a first initial locking or locking with recesses 4.30 of the guide part 4.3.
- Figures 3a and 3b show in a schematic top view a detail of the opening / closing mechanism of a folding clasp.
- An inclined end face 1.1.2.1 of said at least one folding arm 1.2 and at least one inclined end end corresponding 4.51,4.52 of said movable part 4.5 are V-shaped open or conical.
- Said inclined end faces 1.1,2.1,4.51,4.52 in the form of a V-shaped open or conical shape are arranged at a constant inclination angle relative to the plane TT ′, so that their wide conical side L corresponds to an unlocking position of the clasp (see Figure 3a) and that their narrow conical side F corresponds to a locking position of the clasp (see Figure 3b).
- the inclined end faces 1.1,2.1,4.51,4.52 are planar.
- the locking is done under the effect of a pinching of the moving part 4.5 against the at least one inclined face tip 1.1,2.1 of said at least one folding arm 1,2 in the locking position on the narrow conical side F.
- the moving part 4.5 is like a small mobile carriage which slides on at least one axis 4.1,4.2.
- the locking means 4 is either in the unlocked position on the wide conical side L (see FIGS. 3a and 4a), or in the locked position of the narrow conical side F (see Figures 3b and 4b).
- the movable part 4.5 is slightly pinched under the guide part 4.3 allowing the maintenance in the unlocked position. This can be done thanks to an additional thickness under the guide piece 4.3.
- Figures 5a and 5b show a schematic view of another detail of the opening / closing mechanism of a folding clasp.
- a cylindrical rod 1.40, 2.40 of said at least one folding arm 1.2 and at least one corresponding recess 4.30 of the guide piece 4.3 are arranged so that during movement of said at least one folding arm 1.2 in a plane opening / closing OO ' an initial locking is done by snapping each of said cylindrical rods 1.40,2.40 into a recess 4.30.
- the clasp comprises two folding arms 1,2 and each folding arm 1,2 is provided with a cylindrical rod 1,40,2.40.
- a guide part 4.3 is provided, having two recesses 4.30 on the side of the folding arms 1,2.
- the recesses 4.30 are adapted to the geometric shape of the cylindrical rods 1.40,2.40. It is entirely possible, without going beyond the scope of the invention, to provide different geometric shapes, for example rods and / or oval or even square recesses.
- the cylindrical rods 1.40, 2.40 may be in the form of thin-walled tubes. Solid rods or hollow rods forming elastic tubes can be split, for example in their longitudinal direction (see for example the cylindrical rod 2.40 according to Figures 5a and 5b). The application of slots is optional, it is possible to provide rods or elastic tubes which are not split (see for example the cylindrical rod 1.40 according to FIGS. 5a and 5b). These examples are shown by way of example.
- cylindrical rods or elastic tubes allow a variation in the elasticity of the cylindrical rods or elastic tubes.
- shape of such slots is not limited to linear slots in the longitudinal direction (helix, spiral or bias shapes are possible) and that the slots should not extend over the entire length.
- Such elastic tubes are preferably metallic and their thin wall is preferably 0.15 millimeter thick. For a smaller thickness, the maximum bending stress becomes too large (the deformation force is too high and the snap-fastening becomes difficult), for a larger thickness, the elastic constant of an elastic tube becomes too large (the wall thin deforms beyond the reversible elastic limit and the snap is not well accentuated).
- an elastic tube made with a metallic material for example an elastic tube made of stainless steel
- a thickness of 0.15 millimeters represents an ideal choice, allowing both a well defined closing or latching force (which smells good, without being too strong or too weak) while ensuring easy machining of the locking means.
- a split rod and / or a split tube gives an additional degree of freedom to the initial locking.
- the quality of a clasp is not only defined by its purely technical characteristics but also by its impression it makes on the user. Unlike known clasps, which do not use such an initial locking with cylindrical rods or elastic tubes and with a couple of different materials, it is possible to individually adjust the forces and in particular to adjust the characteristics of latching of the folding clasp.
- the cylindrical rods 1.40,2.40 are arranged near the fasteners 1.4,2.4.
- the rods 1.40,2.40 are added welded to the clips 1.4,2.4.
- Other fixing means are of course possible without going beyond the scope of the invention.
- This position at the end of the folding arms 1,2 allows in any circumstance a first snap-in or initial locking of the cylindrical rods 1.40, 2.40 of the folding arms 1.2 with the guide piece 4.3 of the locking means 4 before the locking of the faces inclined end piece 1.1,2.1 of the folding arms 1,2 with the movable part 4.5 of the locking means 4.
- This position of the cylindrical rods 1.40,2.40 half concealed by the fasteners 1.4,2.4 is particularly aesthetic and refined, which is desired by the user.
- Figure 5a shows this initial locking before the latching of the cylindrical rods 1.40,2.40 in the recesses 4.30
- Figure 5b shows the cylindrical rods 1.40,2.40 after the latching in the recesses 4.30
- the guide piece 4.3 is firmly fixed on the base blade 3.
- the folding arms 1,2 can be elastic to allow the more or less elastic cylindrical rods 1.40,2.40 to exceed the protruding edge of the recesses 4.30.
- Figures 4a and 4b show a detail view of a locking security of a folding clasp.
- a first folding arm 1 comprises a cover 10 articulated with respect to said first folding arm 1.
- Said cover 10 is removable around a hinge pin with a hinge rod 10.2. Said cover 10 folded over the locking means 4 provides security for locking said at least one folding arm 1,2.
- This locking security is complementary. In particular, this locking security is optional and it is possible, while remaining within the scope of the invention, to make a clasp with or without locking security.
- Said cover 10 includes an asymmetrical bottom 10.1.
- Said asymmetrical bottom 10.1 is provided with a boss 10.12 on the wide conical side L of said inclined end faces 1.1,2.1,4.51,4.52 (see FIGS. 1a to 3b) corresponding to an unlocking position of the clasp (see FIG. 4a) and said asymmetrical bottom 10.1 is hollowed out on the narrow conical side F of said inclined faces tip 1.1,2.1,4.51,4.52 corresponding to a locking position of the clasp (see FIG. 4b), so that said asymmetrical bottom 10.1 of a cover 10 folded down maintains the button 4.4 on the narrow conical side F of said inclined faces end piece 1.1,2.1,4.51,4.52 corresponding to a locking position of the clasp.
- This locking mechanism is characterized by dual-function security.
- the cover 10 with asymmetrical bottom 10.1 guarantees at the same time that the cover 10 cannot be folded down on a locking means 4 in the unlocked position on the wide conical side L (see FIGS. 3a and 4a), because the button 4.4 would act obstacle to the boss 10.12 of the cover 10 and the cover 10 reinforces the locking of the locking means 4 in the locked position on the narrow conical side F (see FIGS. 3b and 4b) avoiding inadvertent opening of the clasp.
- Said folded cover 10 is retained by snap-fastening with at least one fixing means arranged on a second folding arm 2 (see FIGS. 2a and 2b) or on the base blade 3.
- a fixing means 11.1, 11.2 are provided. and each fastening means 11.1,11.2 comprises a housing containing a ball 11.3 arranged at one end of a straight spring 11.4 . The other end of the spring 11.4 is fixed to the bottom of the housing.
- Such a fixing means 11.1, 11.2 is arranged inside a guide sleeve of a second folding arm 2 (see FIGS. 2a and 2b ) or of the base blade 3, so that the balls 11.3 protrude the guide sleeve and exert a fixing force on the folded cover 10 .
- the folded cover 10 is fixed by the spring force of the straight springs 11.4 . It is of course possible to use other embodiments of known fixing means that go beyond the scope of the invention.
- the folding clasp is made with a minimum number of elements that can easily be replaced or adjusted.
- the locking / unlocking force can be easily adjusted by changing (increasing / decreasing) the angle of inclination of the inclined faces 1.1.1.2,4.51,4.52 of V-shaped open or conical (see Figures 3a and 3b).
- the folding clasp is characterized by a particularly easy and safe opening / closing mechanism.
- the displacement of the locking means 4 in the plane TT ′ does not cause wear of said notching device.
- the folding clasp is preferably metallic.
- the folding clasp can be attached to the ends of a flexible link bracelet of a wristwatch.
- Such links 9,9 ′, 11,11 ′ of two bracelet strands are shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b.
- knurled axes 9.11 driven keep the links 9,9 ', 11,11' together.
- screws 9,1,9.2 are provided for fixing the bracelets strand to attachments 1.4,2.4 of the folding arms 1,2.
