Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking or jewelry. It relates more precisely to a device for fixing a bracelet to an object, in particular a watch case.
  • the bracelets in leather or in metal, are attached to the horns of a watch case, by means of a bar formed of a tube, in which are mounted two pistons movable in translation, and an elastic member. arranged between said pistons and tending to drive them out 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 facing each other in the lugs of the case.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks, by providing a device for fixing a bracelet to a watch case, the device comprising on the one hand at least one horn, and on the other hand a bracelet strand, the horn and the bracelet being kept assembled by means of a bar, the horn comprising a rigid blade arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing made in the bracelet strand, said at least one housing having an opening to receive said blade during the setting. position of the bracelet strand so as to form a rigid connection once the bar is in place, and a passage through which said bar passes to hold the bracelet strand on the watch case.
  • the bracelet strand comprises a rigid insert, said insert comprising the housing for receiving said blade.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a watch case 1, to which at least one end of a bracelet strand 2 is intended to be removably connected.
  • connection device which is the subject of the invention is visible to figures 1b, 2a and 2b .
  • the device comprises on the one hand at least one horn 10, and on the other hand a bracelet strand 2, the horn 10 and the bracelet 2 being held together by means of a bar 3.
  • the horn 10 comprises a rigid blade 11 arranged to cooperate by interlocking with at least one housing 20 made in the bracelet strand, the housing 20 having an opening to receive the blade during the positioning of the bracelet strand so as to form a rigid connection once the bar 3 is in place.
  • the horn 10 has a flat surface 12 acting as a stopper, the bracelet strand pressing against this surface when the blade 11 is inserted into the bracelet 2, the surface plane 12 thus defining the hooking position of the strap strand on the watch case.
  • the horn 10 also comprises lateral bearing surfaces 14, adjacent to the horn, and intended to partially cover the edges of the bracelet strand, so no light is visible at the level of the connection with the bar 3.
  • the median horn comprises a passage 13, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the axis of the bar 3 so that the latter can rotate freely in the passage.
  • the bar 3 is formed by a cylindrical rod 30 having a flange 31 at each end of the bar, the bar 3 and the flanges 31 then forming a single element once they are assembled. It can be envisaged to assemble the flange 31 at the end of the bar 4 by means of an insertion point mounted in a hollow part of the bar 3. An internal bulge is then provided at the end of the bar. the bar 3 to cooperate with the insertion point, in order to clip the collar into the bar. Other methods of fixing the flanges 31 can be envisaged, such as for example by gluing, welding, or even by driving. These act as axial retaining elements for the bracelet.
  • the flanges 31 of the bar 3 come to be housed at the level of the lateral bearing surfaces so that the flanges do not protrude once the bar 3 has been mounted.
  • the bracelet strand 2 comprises a rigid insert 21, the insert comprising the housing 20 for receiving the blade 11 of the horn 10, the two elements forming a rigid connection once the bracelet strand has been assembled to the watch. .
  • the blade 11 is inclined downwards at an angle of between 20 ° and 45 ° with respect to the median plane M of the watch case, such an inclination is necessary for the part to be correctly positioned once the watch is on the wrist.
  • the width of the blade is provided less than or equal to the width of the median horn, and comprises a length substantially identical to the depth of the housing 20 of the insert 21 to avoid any play after assembly.
  • the insert 21 and the blade 11 are made of a hard material chosen from metallic materials or metallic alloys, ceramics or composite materials.
  • the bracelet can be bracelet and is made of a flexible plastic material, or of a hard material mentioned above. Those skilled in the art will not have any particular difficulties in machining a housing 20 in a metal link, for example.
  • the end of a strand is introduced at the level of the horn 10 by presenting the opening of the housing 20 facing the blade 11 in order to accommodate the blade 4 in the insert 21 of the bracelet strand.
  • the user pushes the strand 2 until the latter comes into abutment against the flat surface 12 of the horn 10.
  • the user only has to put the bar 3 in place by passing it successively through the strand 2 and the horn 10, until the flanges 31 are positioned in abutment against the edges of the strand 2 and under the staves 14 adjacent to the horn 10.
  • the wearer has a bracelet without any play when assembled and having a good hold when the watch is worn.
  • the insert is placed on a strap made of leather, synthetic fabric, plastic, metal, ceramic or even composite.
  • bar 4 is
