Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding clasp for a bracelet, particularly for a watch strap, which may comprise one or two folding clasps, and comprising a small number of parts to be assembled, while offering great ease of handling, in particular to unlock the clasp and allow the user to remove the watch from his wrist, and conversely prevent accidental opening.
  • an unfolding clasp comprises a base in contact with the wrist, one or two articulated loops in the base and locking / unlocking means to keep the clasp in the closed position or on the contrary to open.
  • locking / unlocking means many constructions have already been proposed, among which we can retain the following documents.
  • the document EP 0 115 740 discloses a clasp having two folding loops hinged in a base having a closed contour, but whose longitudinal members have a certain elasticity to allow snapping loops by pressure on the base.
  • the device does not have pushers, and to open the clasp, it is necessary to pull the two bracelet strands attached to the ends of the loops. It is obvious that repeated opening / closing maneuvers may cause some fatigue of the longerons no longer giving the necessary guarantees of closure, or may cause accidental opening.
  • the present invention therefore relates to an unfolding clasp, not having the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art, in particular thanks to a robust construction comprising only rigid parts, in small numbers and easy to assemble, without causing an increase thick.
  • the clasp is characterized in that the two longitudinal members are two rigid independent parts, that is to say designed to have no flexibility in the transverse direction. These two longitudinal members slide on the connecting means being held close together or spaced apart by elastic means to keep the latching members locked, said latching means being able to be unlocked by exerting pressure on the longitudinal members. compressing the elastic means.
  • the device according to the invention can therefore act, either in action or in reaction according to the embodiment, and according to the type of locking / unlocking mechanism adopted.
  • the clasp according to the invention can in fact be designed with one or two loops having arms positioned outside the longitudinal members, or on the contrary inside the longitudinal members.
  • the locking / unlocking mechanism may be of the "double action” type, that is to say, it will allow both locking and unlocking, or of the “simple action” type, that is to say allowing locking but require a push button system for disengaging the male hooking member from the female member.
  • the arms of the loops are positioned outside the longitudinal members being kept spaced from said longitudinal members by the elastic means, the pushing device disposed in the middle part of the base, consisting of by two pushers coming from material with the longitudinal members and acting in compression on a spring disposed between said longitudinal members.
  • the arms of the loops are positioned inside the longitudinal members being held close to said longitudinal members by the elastic means, the pushing device disposed in the middle part of the base being constituted by two pushers passing through each spar, each push for securing a rod coming off the opposite spar when the pushers are pressed to release the shackles.
  • the clasp has only one loop, with a locking / unlocking mechanism according to one of the preceding embodiments, and with a mode of attachment of the bracelet strands adapted to this mode of production.
  • the clasp with one or two folding clasps, may have no pusher when the male coupling member is formed by a boss having two inclined planes.
  • FIG. 1 A first embodiment will now be described with reference to the Figures 1 to 7 .
  • the clasp is formed by a rigid base 3 consisting of two separate longitudinal members 5 and two rigid identical loops 7, mounted at each end of the longitudinal members 5 and having between them mechanical connection means 17.
  • the means of mechanical connection are constituted by a hinge axis 17 driven into the ends 15 of the arms 9 of the loops 7 and freely traversing the ends of each spar 5.
  • the arms 9 of the loops 7 are connected by a rigid crosspiece 11 supporting the attachment means 13 of the bracelet strands (not shown) coming to cover each loop 7 in the closed position ( Fig. 1 ) and that they have at their ends through passages 10 for the hinge pins 17.
  • the fastening means 13 are constituted by a small tube 14 provided in the middle part of the crossbar 11. From Equivalently these fastening means may be constituted by two small tubes arranged on the edges of the crosspieces 11, or by any means known to those skilled in the art to attach bracelet strands to a watch clasp.
  • each spar 5 is provided with a pusher 19 integral with said spar, perpendicular to it and extending slightly beyond the arms 9 of the loops 7, so as to mark their location so that the two pushers 19 can be pressed between two fingers to allow simultaneous unlocking of the two loops 7.
  • This unlocking takes place by bringing the two longitudinal members 5 together, as indicated by the small arrows of the figure 2 according to a relatively simple mechanism that will be better understood by referring now to Figures 3 to 7 .
  • the figure 3 corresponds to the figure 1 in top view, with representation of the dotted hidden parts.
  • the middle portion between the pushers is arranged to allow the establishment of the elastic means 25 to keep spaced the side members 5 when the clasp is in the closed position.
  • these elastic means are constituted by a tubular bar 35, of the type that can be found for fixing the bracelet strands between the horns of a watch case. As we see it on the enlarged section of the figure 6 , the tubular bar 35 can accommodate a spring 36, in compression on two pivots 37.
  • the pivots 37 are positioned in two blind holes 38 formed in an excess thickness 6 of the longitudinal members 5 in their middle part.
  • other elastic means and other locations can be envisaged.
  • the figure 7 represents a guide tube 40 traversed by each hinge pin 17 and having in its middle part an enlargement 42. This guide tube 40 allows both to hide the hinge pin 17 for aesthetic purposes and to limit the deflection (?) of the longitudinal members 5 while abutting in a bowl 18a of the passage 18 located at the ends of each spar 5.
  • Each spar 5 comprises on either side of the pusher 19 a projecting element 20 having an inclined plane 20a on the loop 7 side and a flat 20b on the base 3 side, as can be seen better on the section of the Figure 2A .
  • Each arm 9 of each loop 7 comprises a recess 21 whose shape is complementary to that of the projecting element 20.
  • the locking of the loops is effected by pressing them against the base 3, and unlocking by acting on the pushers 19 to bring the longitudinal members 5 closer and disengage the male members 20 from the female members 21. No accidental unlocking is possible.
  • This embodiment is remarkable in that it comprises a very small number of parts that can be assembled without any screwing.
  • This second embodiment is based on the same principle as the previous one, but differs in that the loops 7 are positioned inside the longitudinal members 5 of the base 3. This has the effect of reversing in a way the mechanism of locking / unlocking, as explained below.
  • the loop 7 has a completely closed contour constituted by two arms 9 connected by a crosspiece 11 supporting the attachment means 13 of the bracelet strands and by a second crosspiece 12 rigidly joining the ends of the arms 9.
  • the second crosspiece 12 has a through passage 10 for the hinge means 17 of each loop 7 with the two longitudinal members 5 located outside.
  • the middle part of each spar 5 is provided with a through pusher 29, and a spacer 39 arranged at the same level to contain and hide the locking / unlocking mechanism which will be explained later.
  • the figure 10 corresponds to the figure 8 in top view with dashed representation of the hidden parts including the locking / unlocking mechanism. We will not repeat the description of the visible parts already described.
  • the middle portion of the clasp has on each outer side longitudinal members 5, a pusher 29, shown isolated at figure 13A , which can be maneuvered in a corresponding recess 22 of each spar 5.
  • a rod 31, shown isolated at figure 14A and a spring 28 are associated with each pusher 29 to form two sets whose travel and mechanical connection are provided by a spacer 39 shown isolated at Figures 15 and 16 .
  • the references of the two rods 31, arranged upside down, and the parts that compose them will thereafter be supplemented by the indices "a" and "b", if necessary.
  • the rod 31 comprises a head 32 which engages in a recess 30a of corresponding shape formed in the end of the pusher 29 facing inwards.
  • the rod 31 also has a portion of its length over a portion of its length 33 and at its end a narrowing 53 of diameter forming a shoulder 54.
  • the figure 13A shows that the pusher also comprises a well or a slot 30b for housing one end of the spring 28, the other end bearing in a circular recess 23 formed at the bottom of the recess 22 and of larger diameter than the through passage 41 provided for positioning the end of a rod 31.
  • the spacer 39 is constituted by a rectangular plate whose one side has the same width as the loops 7 and whose other sides are pierced with through passages 41a, 41b to allow the free passage of the rods 31a, 31b.
  • a hole threaded blind 47 is drilled in the center of the spacer in its lower face, with a diameter provided to form the slots 45 in the through passages 41a, 41b.
  • each connecting means 17 is constituted by two screws 17a with a slotted cylindrical head, each screw 17a passing freely through a through passage 18 from one end of a spar 5 to be screwed to one end of an intermediate sleeve 17b itself freely passing through the passage 10 of the rigid cross member 12 of a loop 7.
  • the bowl 18b for housing the head of the screw 17a has a depth greater than the height of the head so as to allow sufficient clearance 5 longitudinal members to move away from each other when pressing the pushers 29 to unlock the clasp by releasing from one another the latching members 20 and 21. Indeed when pressing the pushers 29, the springs 28 are compressed and the shoulder 54a, 54b of the rods 31a, 31b come to exert pressure on the edges of the through passages 16a, 16b of the longitudinal members 5 by separating them from one another.
  • FIG. 18 there is shown a variant which differs from the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. figure 10 by the location of the elastic means 25 and by the securing mode of the rods 31a, 31b.
  • the elastic means 25 are carried at the level of the connecting means 17, being constituted by a spring 28 interposed between the head of the screw 17a and the bottom of the bowl 18b of the through passage 18. It will also be observed that the screws 17a are directly screwed into the rigid cross member 12 of each loop 7.
  • rods 31a, 31b are modified in that the head 32 is replaced by a thread 34, the other end 53 having a slot 53a for directly screwing the rods 31a, 31b in threaded holes 30c of the pushers 29.
  • a third embodiment is described below which differs from the two previous embodiments in that the clasp comprises a single folding clasp, said embodiment being illustrated by a system of pushers operating on the same principle as that of the second mode. of realization.
  • the user presses, as indicated by the arrows, two pushers 29 positioned near one end of the rigid base 3, which causes the spacing of the longitudinal members 5 indicated by the small arrows to release the organs d hooking 20, 21.
  • the figure 21 corresponds to the figure 19 in top view with dashed representation of the hidden parts including the locking / unlocking mechanism.
  • a spacer 49 shown separately at Figures 22 and 23 allows to house a locking / unlocking mechanism, actuated by the pushers 29, in all respects identical to that already described for the variant of the second embodiment, and will therefore not be described further.
  • the spacer 49 also includes a portion 49a extending to the end of the longitudinal members 5.
  • the portion 49a is pierced with a through passage 44 to allow the passage of a connecting means 17 between the two longitudinal members 5, identical to that already described for the first embodiment.
  • the portion 49a is itself extended by an extension 51 constituting the attachment means 13 of a bracelet strand.
  • the connecting means 17 between the longitudinal members 5 and the loop 7 also comprise elastic means 25 identical to those already described in the variant of the second embodiment.
  • a fourth embodiment is described below, which comprises, like the preceding one, a single folding clasp 7, but without pushers and whose construction is made simpler thanks to a different profile of the male fastening member 50, maintained engaged in the female member 21 in the locked position.
  • the male member 50 is constituted by a boss having two inclined planes 50 allowing, against the action of elastic means to separate the longitudinal members 5, either to lock the clasp, or on the contrary to unlock it.
  • these elastic means are composed of two rods 31a, 31b, each rod passing from the outside a bowl of a spar 5 in which is placed a helical compression spring 28, then a through passage 41a, 41b of a spacer 49 for finally be screwed into the opposite spar.
  • the figure 27 represents a fifth embodiment which is, so to speak, a duplication of the previous embodiment by having two folding loops.
  • the elastic means are then arranged in the middle part of the longitudinal members 5. The operation is the same as above, and will therefore not be described further.
