Definitions

  • the present invention relates to removable attachment systems of a bracelet to a watch case. It relates more particularly to systems comprising a sliding assembly, formed of two parts provided one of a slide and the other of a slide, and a lock comprising a elastic locking member and a positioning member. Both parts are made integral with each other by engagement of the slide in the slide and held by the lock.
  • One of the parties and one of organs are integral with the box, the others with the bracelet. In this way, the box and the bracelet can be moved opposite each other, the sliding slide in the slide, in a direction called sliding, as long as the latch is not engaged.
  • the integral part of the bracelet is provided with a slide while the other, integral with the box, forms a slide arranged so that it can be backstage.
  • the lock in which the elastic member is made of a spring leaf and the positioning member of a groove whose wall is perpendicular to the sliding direction, prevents the system shutdown. More specifically, the blade is fixed to the box and the throat is made in the bracelet. Everything is arranged so that the parts of the whole can only be separated from each other by lifting the spring with a fingernail or other tool. In others terms, the user must apply a first force, perpendicular to the sliding direction, to lift the spring, before applying a second force in the direction of sliding, to release the slide backstage.
  • the lock is of the elastic engagement type, that is to say of the type in which organs can be moved relative to each other by applying only a force directed in the sliding direction, the two organs remain integral with each other practically without risk of disengagement.
  • the latching member elastic comprises a finger, engaged and slidably mounted in a hole, and a spring cooperating with the finger.
  • the positioning device consists of a hollow. One of the organs is associated with the box, the other with the bracelet.
  • the lock comprises, at least, two fingers aligned according to the sliding direction and integral with one of the parts, and at least two recesses also aligned in this direction and made in the other part, the distance between the recesses being equal to that included between the fingers, so that, in the locked position, the two fingers are each engaged in a hollow and in that in a position intermediary through which the two parts must pass to unlock them, one of the two fingers is engaged in the recess cooperating with the other finger in locked position.
  • a particularly advantageous solution consists in using an interlocking bayonet type, i.e. with a slide formed by two walls parallel defining an axially arranged groove, and integral projections walls and partially covering the throat, on the first two portions of its length and leaving uncovered two second portions and a slide formed of two heads each carried by a tigeron, whose axial dimension of the head is slightly less than the length of the second portions, the tigerons have a length slightly greater than the thickness of protrusions.
  • the heads have a height slightly less than the throat depth and a width slightly less than the width of the groove, but greater than the distance between the projections.
  • the present invention also relates to a wristwatch.
  • the bracelet plays an important aesthetic role. By giving the possibility bearer to replace it with another, he is offered the opportunity to change his appearance watch.
  • the watch according to the invention is provided with a box and a bracelet, linked to each other by means of two systems as defined above.
  • the bracelet is formed of a single strand having two ends, each fitted with part of one of the sliding assemblies and one of organs of the lock and the box carries the parts and the complementary organs, the sliding directions being arranged in the same plane.
  • the bracelet can be used on these two faces.
  • the system according to the invention comprises assemblies and locks which are symmetrical with respect to the plane in which they are inscribed sliding directions.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates different assemblies made using the system according to the invention.
  • the watch shown in Figure 1 has a box 10 and a strap 12 intended to be assembled together. They are provided, for this purpose, with two sliding assemblies each formed by a first part 14 and a second part 16, respectively secured, in pairs of the box 10 and the bracelet 12.
  • the box 10 is of generally rectangular shape. It has, on one side, a time setting rod 18 and, on one of its faces, a crystal 20 at through which it is possible to see needles 22, which provide time display.
  • the parts 14 are arranged on two sides of the box, the part 14a is finding on the side corresponding to noon on the dial and part 14b at 6 o'clock, while the rod 18 is on the side corresponding to 3 hours.
  • Each part 14 comprises two slides 24 and 26 of T-shaped section, with a body bearing the reference a and two arms b and c ( Figure 2).
  • the bodies 24a and 26a are integral with the box 10 and the arms 24b, 24c, 26b and 26c extend parallel to the sides of the box of which they are adjacent.
  • the slides 24 and 26 respectively have two grooves bearing the references d and e , and a groove d , which extend over the width of the two arms b and c .
  • the parts 16 each include a slide 28 of shape complementary to the slides 24 and 26, provided with two parallel walls 30a and 30b defining a groove 32 oriented in the sliding direction, and spaced from each other by a value L slightly greater than the spacing l of the two arms.
  • Projections 34a and 34b, integral with the walls 30a and 30b partially cover the groove 32, leaving uncovered two portions which define engagement openings 36.
  • the distance E between the projections 34a and 34b is slightly greater than the width e of the body of the slides 24 and 26.
  • the bottom of the groove 32 is pierced with three threaded holes, two of which 37a and 37b are visible in Figure 1 and the third 37c in Figure 2, and in each which is fixed, by screwing, an elastic latching member comprising a body 38 of generally cylindrical shape, inside which is housed a ball 40 and a coil spring not shown in the drawing. The whole is arranged so that the ball 40 is held in the body and protrudes from the bottom of throat 32.
  • the holes 37 are arranged so that the balls 40 are each engaged in one of the grooves 24d, 24e and 26d, and pressing against their walls, exerting forces oriented in directions doing, with the direction of sliding, an angle different from 0 and 90 °. It is thus possible to guarantee positioning while enabling disengagement without having to remove a part from the lock.
  • the balls 40 play the role of an elastic finger engaged in one of the grooves, which provides a positioning member function.
  • the groove 32 is closed at each of its ends, so as to form stops, not shown in the drawing, to avoid overloading it.
  • parts 14 and 16 have a plane of symmetry P which passes through the middle of the bodies 24a and 26a, and by the axes of the holes 37.
  • FIG. 3a represents a watch in which the bracelet 12 and the box 10 are assembled, so that the time display is visible.
  • Figure 3c shows a third variant, in which the watch was replaced by a decorative object 42, which has only an aesthetic function.
  • This object includes, like the box, members 14 for attachment to bracelet.
  • the attachment of the bracelet to the box plays the role of clasp.
  • the watch may also be liable to have aspects different, by simple and economical means.
