Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking or jewelery. It relates more specifically to a device for attaching a bracelet to an object, in particular a watch case.
- the bracelets leather or metal, are attached to the horns of a watch case, through a bar formed of a tube, in which are mounted two pistons movable in translation, and an elastic member disposed between said pistons and tending to drive outwardly of the tube.
- Said bar is mounted in a housing provided for this purpose at one end of the bracelet, and the pistons are engaged in blind bores made vis-à-vis in the horns of the box.
- Such devices usually comprise a bar, of the type described above, on which is mounted, passing through the tube, an actuating member of the pistons.
- Said actuating member is, for example, a radial finger integral with a pistons, as described in the patent CH 327 838 .
- the finger is slidably mounted through an axial slot in the tube, and its movement along the slot makes it possible to push one of the pistons inside the tube.
- the patent CH 614 589 describes a watch case with a device for attaching a bracelet to the box, the central horn has a cylindrical passage split longitudinally along the length of the horn, allowing the introduction of a bar for attaching a bracelet .
- the bar is in the form of a cylinder with a flat along its entire length so as to let the bar during its introduction into the passage and hold it in place when it occupies a specific angular position.
- the fastening devices thus described are generally used for interchangeable straps, they can replace at the option of the wearer. However, they are not free of drawbacks. It will be noted, in particular, that they require major structural modifications at the bar, such as, for example, the realization of an opening at the tube, or the transformation of the pistons. These changes result in significant manufacturing costs.
- These fixing devices comprise, moreover, a prominent element, namely the actuating member, which can catch or injure the wearer of the watch.
- the present invention overcomes these disadvantages, by providing a device for attaching a bracelet to a watch case without a bar, and which is easy to handle.
- the device comprising, on the one hand, at least one integral horn of the watch case, and, on the other hand, an insert secured to the end of a bracelet strand, the horn and the insert being complementary to cooperate by interlocking with each other. one in the other in constituting removable assembly means adapted to make the bracelet interchangeable.
- the insert comprises at least one tenon subjected to the action of resilient return means, said at least one pin being arranged to cooperate with at least one housing in the horn, the horn comprising a control member making protruding radially from the horn, so as to pass the post from an extended position in which the pin holds the strand on the horn, to a retracted position in which the strand is released from the horn.
- the Figures 1 to 4 illustrate a wristwatch and detailed views of the attachment device of a bracelet to a watch case 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- the fixing device comprises on the one hand at least one horn 10 secured to the watch case 1, and on the other hand an insert 6 integral with the end of a bracelet strand 2, the horn 10 and the insert 6 being complementary to cooperate by interlocking one into the other by constituting removable assembly means adapted to make the bracelet interchangeable.
- the insert 6 comprises at least one pin 9 subjected to the action of elastic return means, said at least one pin being arranged to cooperate with at least one housing in the horn 10, the horn comprising a control member 5 projecting radially relative to the horn 10, so as to pass the post from an extended position in which the tenon holds the strand on the horn, to a retracted position in which the strand is released from the horn.
- the watch case 1 comprises a middle horn 10 comprising at least one housing 100 arranged to receive all or part of the insert of the bracelet strand.
- the middle horn 10 is formed with the watch case 1 and comprises at each of its ends a ring 3 receiving a control member, such as a pusher 5 for example, which is arranged to move axially in the ring 3.
- the Pusher 5 is limited in stroke and rotation by a pin 4 which is driven into the ring 3 which is integral with the middle horn. Such an arrangement makes it possible to make the push-buttons 5 easily and quickly accessible during a bracelet change.
- the pusher 5 is slidably mounted in the ring 3 and is arranged to open into the housing when the user bears on the latter.
- Each ring 3 is mounted at one end of the horn, the rings here taking a preferably cylindrical form, and the horn 10 including a corresponding cylindrical excavation shape in the watch case 1 to partially accommodate each ring 3.
- the watch case comprises means for centering and / or guiding the insert on the watch case.
- these centering means are in the form of a pair of ball pawls 11, each ball pawl 11 being arranged to cooperate with a pair of holes 12 formed on the edge of the insert 6.
- the size and the depth respective holes 12 and ball pawls 11 are configured such that the insert no longer has any degree of freedom when the ball pawls 11 are engaged in the holes 12 of the insert 6.
- the ball pawls 11 are oriented downwards at an angle of 45 ° so as to give a good orientation to the bracelet once it is assembled to the watch case1.
- the central horn 1 has at least one substantially rectangular opening 101 opening into a housing 100 to receive the insert 6, the height and the length of the opening corresponding to the height and the length of the insert .
- the insert 6 comprises two projecting portions 60 arranged to rest in two housings of the middle horn. The skilled person could also consider a single housing receiving the insert.
- the insert 6 comprises at least one circular cavity in which successively rests elastic return means 7 and a pin 9 having a cylindrical section, the elastic return means 7 being in the form of a spiral spring for example.
- the insert 6 also comprises a pin 8 driven into the latter, the pin 8 protruding into the cavity and being arranged to cooperate with a groove 90 formed on the post to limit its travel and to block it in rotation within the cavity.
- the pin 9 comprises an inclined plane 91 at its projecting portion so as to facilitate the insertion of the insert 6 in the housing 100 of the horn 10.
- the carrier pushes the insert 6 into the horn 10, presenting the projecting portions 60 at the openings 101 while respecting the guide / centering of the insert by means of the ball pawls 11.
- the inclined plane 91 of the tenons 9 allows the latter to enter the housing 100 through the contact of the ring, the springs 7 being at this time compressed.
- the stud 9 resumes its rest position, which will have the effect of relaxing the spring 7 and exert a force that will push the pusher 5 of the ring 3.
- the bracelet strand 2 can no longer be detached from the horn, the tenons 9 being held in the housings 100 and the ball pawls 11 resting in the holes 12 of the insert 6.
- the wearer To separate the bracelet strand 2 from the horn 1, the wearer must simultaneously press the pushers 5, each push then acting on a pin 9 and compressing the springs 7, and then pull on the bracelet strand 2 to dislodge the insert housing 100 horn 10.
- the insert is disposed on a bracelet made of leather, synthetic fabric, plastic, metal, ceramic or composite.
- the bar 4 is preferably metal but could also be plastic, ceramic or composite.
- the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example and is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
- the skilled person would, for example, have no difficulty in reversing the position of the pins 9 and pushers 5.
- the bracelet receives the pushers 5 at the side edges, near the insert 6, the pusher 5 being slidably mounted in the ring 3 integral with the insert.
- Each ring 3 is mounted at one end of the insert, the rings here taking a preferably cylindrical form.
- the horn in turn, comprises a circular cavity at each of its lateral ends, each cavity successively receiving elastic return means 7 and a pin 9 protruding so as to cooperate with the pushers 5.
- the user then has press the pushers and push or pull the bracelet strand to respectively assemble or disassemble.
