Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch-strap holder plate.
  • Watch-straps are usually shown to the buyer arranged so that their two components are mutually associated one partially on top of the other; accordingly, in order to display them adequately the buyer must pick them up and arrange them for example next to the watch to see if they are suitable.
  • the watch-strap Once the watch-strap has been associated with the semiannular body of the display, it is in fact immediately laid out flat and is accordingly better appreciated, since it can be tried directly on the wrist of a user, exactly as if the strap were already mounted on the watch.
  • a watch-strap supporting display has recently become commercially available which is constituted by a body having a substantially flat structure (and accordingly a configuration which is substantially equivalent to the structure of the case of a watch) and from which two pairs of thin L-shaped tabs protrude from two mutually opposite sides.
  • Each one of said pairs of L-shaped tabs has converging free ends which form, between them, a free space through which it is possible to engage each one of the two components of a watch-strap which can be displayed as it appears during use in this case as well.
  • the exposed face of the body of the display also bears the manufacturer's trademark or a symbol or a caption describing the characteristics of the watch-strap.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a plate with which it is possible to associate the two components of a watch-strap to allow to display it and which at the same time solves all the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional plates.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide a plate which allows easy and repeated operations for the insertion/removal of the two components of a watch-strap without causing breakage or failure of the plate.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a watch-strap holder plate which ensures a good aesthetic result.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide a watch-strap holder plate which has a simple structure and is very practical in operation.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a watch-strap holder plate which does not allow simple disengagement of the two components of the strap without the intervention of the user.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a watch-strap holder plate which can be reused several times thanks to a constructive structure which ensures good durability.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide a watch-strap holder plate which can be adapted for the display of straps having any configuration and of any model and size.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a watch-strap holder plate which can be manufactured easily by means of conventional equipment and with known methods.
  • a watch-strap holder plate characterized in that it comprises a body from which two pins protrude monolithically from mutually opposite positions and are hinged to said body, said pins engaging, by means of their free ends, in complementarily shaped seats which are rigidly coupled to said body, each one of said pins being suitable to enter a seat formed at each end of a watch-strap for display.
  • a watch-strap holder plate is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and comprises a body 11 which is substantially flat and, in this embodiment, has a rectangular contour whose dimensions substantially correspond to the conventional dimensions of the case of a watch.
  • Two rod-like pins 12 protrude from the body 11, starting from mutually opposite positions, and are joined thereto at first ends 13 by means of film hinges 14.
  • Each pin 12 has, in this case, a circular cross-section and has a second free end 15.
  • Two tabs 16 further protrude from the body 11, also starting from mutually opposite positions, and are substantially parallel with respect to the pins 12; each tab has a reduced length, and a seat 17 is formed therein which is shaped complementarily to the dimensions of the second end 15 of each pin 12, so that it can accommodate it appropriately.
  • each one of the seats 17 is allowed by means of a fork-like shape 18 whose dimensions are conveniently smaller than those of each free second end 15, so that the second end 15 is inserted in the seat 17 by elastic deformation of the fork 18, which accordingly provides a subsequent retaining grip in order to prevent the accidental escape of the free end 15.
  • the two pins 12 can be disengaged from the respective seats 17 due to the action of the user, who forces them to exit through the fork-like profile 18.
  • Each pin 12 is suitable to enter the seat formed by means of stitches in each end of a watch-strap, which is shown schematically and designated by the reference numeral 19 in the above figures, so that the plate 10 described with the present invention constitutes an effective display for the strap.
  • an exposed face 20 can be located on the body 11 and there can be a trademark, a design or an identification symbol of the manufacturer of the strap on such face.
  • the watch-strap holder plate 10 is made of plastics by injection molding, for example made of polypropylene or of another material, so long as it has suitable mechanical characteristics.
  • the watch-strap holder plate 10 can also be conveniently subjected to a finishing process by sand-blasting.
  • the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the contingent use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
