Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge device for pivotably attaching one after the other at least two links of a bracelet, this device comprising a bar passing through holes formed in these links, said bar comprising at least one of its ends a hole provided with a tapping, this device further comprising a screw having a thread engaged in said tapping and a head arranged to limit the axial frust of said bar.
  • a bar is often used which is held in the holes it passes through by retaining means using screws whose thread is engaged in a tapping made in the bar.
  • the screw head has an overhang abutting against a shoulder that presents the piercing of the link.
  • the bracelet is formed of a series of links articulated around pivot bars passing through holes in the links.
  • Each bar is terminated at one end by a slotted head and has at the other end a hole provided with a thread followed by a throat decreasing at this point the section of the hole.
  • a screw with a head and a thread followed by a groove can be introduced into the hole of the bar and then screwed by force until the throttle penetrates into the groove of the screw. In this position, the screw is locked thanks to the radial elasticity of the bar while being able to be extracted from the hole if necessary.
  • Hinge devices are also known from the documents US 2,780,830 and EP 0 229 908 .
  • the present invention relates to a hinge device according to claim 1 of the patent.
  • a hinge device 1 pivotally attaches a central link 2 and two side links 3 and 30 of a bracelet 4. It will be noted from the outset that there could be only two links pivotally attached to each other. following each other as shown in the figure 1 of the document CH-A-661 185 cited above.
  • the hinge device 1 comprises a bar 5 which passes through holes 6, 7 and 31 formed in these links 2, 3 and 30.
  • the bar 5 comprises at least one of its ends 8 a hole 9 provided with a tapping 10 (see figure 5 ).
  • the hinge device 1 further comprises a screw 11 having a thread 12 (see figure 4 ) engaged in the tapping10 and a head 13 arranged to limit the axial fretting of the bar 5.
  • the head 13 is provided with an overhang 32, capable of abutting against a shoulder 33 formed in the link 3 which thus limits the axial fretting of the bar 5.
  • the present invention is characterized in that the bar 5 and the screw 11 are provided with means 14, 15, 16 and 17 allowing a radial support of an end portion 18 of the bar 5 on a portion 19 of the head of screw 13 to ensure the tightening of said screw in said bar.
  • the axial clamping force usually exerted by the thread of the screw on the tapping of the bar is removed and transformed into a radial force exerted by an end portion of the bar on a portion of the screw head. There is therefore no risk of damage to the respective threads and tapping.
  • the screw head 13 has an annular recess 14 on its rear part.
  • the end portion 18 of the bar 6 comprises a skirt 15 capable of penetrating into the annular recess 14.
  • a first frustoconical section 16 is arranged to cooperate with a second frustoconical section 17 disposed between the tapping 10 of the hole 9 of the bar 5 and its skirt 15.
  • the first and second frustoconical sections 16 and 17 are arranged to slide on one another as soon as the skirt 15 penetrates into the annular hollow 14.
  • the illustrations also show that the bar 5 is a solid rod, the first end 8 is machined to receive the screw 11 and the second end 21 has a head 22 made in one piece with the solid rod.
  • This head 22 is arranged to limit the axial fretting of the bar 5.
  • the figure 1 shows that the head 22 comprises an overhang 37 capable of abutting against a shoulder 38 formed in the link 30.
  • the bar 5 could comprise at each of its ends a screw 11.
  • the bar 5 may not be full and have the shape of a machined tube at each of its ends to receive a screw.

Claims (3)

  1. Gelenkvorrichtung (1) zum schwenkbaren Befestigen von wenigstens zwei Gliedern (2, 3) eines Armbandes (4) aneinander, wobei diese Vorrichtung einen Steg (5) umfasst, der in Bohrungen (6, 7) verläuft, die in diesen Gliedern ausgebildet sind, wobei der Steg (5) an wenigstens einem seiner Enden (8) ein mit einem Innengewinde (10) versehenes Loch (9) aufweist, wobei diese Vorrichtung außerdem eine Schraube (11) umfasst, die ein mit dem Innengewinde (10) in Eingriff befindliches Außengewinde (12) und einen Kopf (13), der ausgebildet ist, um das axiale Spiel des Stegs zu begrenzen, aufweist, wobei der Steg (5) und die Schraube (11) mit Mitteln (14, 15, 16, 17) versehen sind, die eine radiale Abstützung eines Endabschnitts (18) des Stegs (5) an einem Abschnitt (19) des Schraubenkopfes (13) ermöglichen, um das Festklemmen der Schraube in dem Steg sicherzustellen, wobei die Vorrichtung dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass der Schraubenkopf (13) in seinem unteren Teil eine ringförmige Kehle (14) aufweist, dass der Endabschnitt (18) des Stegs (5) eine Übergangsstruktur (15) aufweist, die in die ringförmige Kehle (14) eindringen kann, und dass zwischen dem Außengewindeabschnitt (12), den die Schraube (11) aufweist, und ihrem Kopf (13) ein erster kegelstumpfförmiger Abschnitt (16) angeordnet ist, der ausgelegt ist, um mit einem zweiten kegelstumpfförmigen Abschnitt (17) zusammenzuwirken, der zwischen dem Innengewinde (10) des Lochs (9) des Stegs (5) und seiner Übergangsstruktur (15) angeordnet ist, wobei der erste und der zweite kegelstumpfförmige Abschnitt ausgelegt sind, um ab dem Zeitpunkt, zu dem die Übergangsstruktur (15) in die ringförmige Kehle (14) eindringt, aneinander zu gleiten, um die Übergangsstruktur zu beabstanden, wenn die Schraube (11) rotatorisch angetrieben wird, wobei die Beabstandung der Übergangsstruktur die radiale Festklemmung ihres Umfangsbereichs (18) gegen die Außenwand (19), die die ringförmige Kehle (14) aufweist, bewirkt.
  2. Gelenkvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Übergangsstruktur (15) wenigstens einen longitudinalen Schlitz (20) aufweist.
  3. Gelenkvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Steg (5) ein Vollstift ist, dessen erstes Ende (8) bearbeitet ist, um die Schraube (11) aufzunehmen, und dessen zweites Ende (21) einen Kopf (22) aufweist, der einteilig mit dem Vollstift ausgebildet ist, wobei der Kopf (22) ausgelegt ist, um das axiale Spiel des Stegs (5) zu begrenzen.
