Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for removable connection of a bracelet to a part, in particular a watch case, to which this bracelet must be attached, in particular a watch case, this device comprising two complementary, integral attachment members, respectively, the connecting ends of said bracelet and said part.
  • the invention also relates to a wristwatch comprising such a device.
  • the invention also relates to a watch case comprising a hooking member designed to cooperate with another complementary hooking member.
  • the invention finally relates to a bracelet strand comprising a hooking member designed to cooperate with another complementary hooking member.
  • a spring bar This bar has a fixing pin at each end, one of these pins being secured to a piston mounted sliding in the other tubular part of the bar.
  • a coil spring mounted in the tubular portion serves to cause the pin to project out of the tubular housing.
  • the open end of the tubular wall is slightly deformed inwards after introduction of the piston to prevent it from emerging from the tubular part.
  • Fitting and removing a bracelet using this method of attachment requires the use of tools to bring in and hold the piston in the tubular part. Such an operation requires a certain skill. Furthermore, when we have managed to insert the bar between the horns, we must find the hole in the horns to allow the spring to insert this pin. This is therefore an operation that is not within everyone's reach.
  • the aim of the present invention is to remedy, at least in part, the disadvantages of this method of attachment and to make the operation of replacing a bracelet within everyone's reach.
  • the present invention essentially relates to a device for removable connection of a bracelet to a part or to a member to which this bracelet must be attached, in particular a watch case, as defined by claim 1.
  • the hooking members of this device are directed in a direction Z, for example transverse to the longitudinal direction X of the bracelet; one of the hooking members can be moved laterally, for example in a direction Y, between two limit positions, a first position in which it engages with the other of the hooking members, a second position in which it is dissociated from this other attachment member.
  • Elastic return means tend to maintain the attachment member movable laterally between two limit positions in its first position.
  • the watch case comprises a seat for a removable stop element and means for fixing this stop element on this seat, this removable stop element defining the first limit position of the attachment member movable between two limit positions.
  • the hooking members comprise latching elements to make it possible to cause the movement of the movable hooking member between two limit positions, against the pressure of said elastic return means, from its first to its second limit position, when the two hooking members engage in a direction perpendicular to the transverse direction of the hooking members.
  • the removable stop element prefferably has an opening to allow access to the movable hooking member and to move it against the elastic return means to bring it into the second of its positions boundaries.
  • This device is simple and allows the bracelet to be fitted and removed without any special tools or skills and by each user.
  • THE figures 1 and 2 illustrate a watch case 1, on each side of which one end of a bracelet strand 2a, 2b is intended to be connected in a removable manner.
  • THE figures 1 and 2 show one end of the bracelet strand 2a connected to the left side of the watch case 1 and one end of the bracelet strand 2b separated from the right side of the watch case 1.
  • the connecting device which is the subject of the invention is illustrated by the Figure 4 and the two complementary hooking members 3 and 4 are illustrated separately by the Figures 5A, 5B , respectively 6A, 6B.
  • the hooking member 4 is intended to be inserted into one of the ends of the bracelet strands 2a, 2b, as illustrated by the figures 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 4 .
  • the hooking member 3 comprises a hooking element 3a divided in two by a pusher element comprising a head 3b and a rod 3c.
  • the lower face of this 3c rod has a 3d cylindrical housing ( Figure 5B ) to receive a return spring 5 ( figure 4 ).
  • a socket 6 is intended to be fixed in an opening made in the bottom of a rectangular housing 7 made in the lug of the watch case 1.
  • This rectangular housing is intended to receive the hooking element 3a and to position it, for example in the direction Z, transversely to the longitudinal direction X of the bracelet 2a, 2b.
  • the head 3b of the pusher has two lateral surfaces 3e. These bearing surfaces are intended to press against two opposite edges of a rectangular opening 8a of a stop member 8 ( Figure 4 ) under the pressure of the return spring 5.
  • This stop member 8 is shaped to be housed on a seat 10 located in the lug of the box 1 and is fixed by two screws 9 on this seat of the watch box 1.
  • a hooking member 4 is inserted at one end of each bracelet strand 2a, 2b.
  • This hooking member 4 comprises a hooking element 4a arranged transversely to the bracelet 2, for example in the direction Z and divided into two parts by a passage 4b to receive the rod 3c of the pusher of the hooking member 3 when of the hooking of the hooking element on the hooking element 3.
  • the hooking member comprises a transverse housing 4c ( Figure 6B ).
  • the engagement faces 3f, 4f, of the hooking member 3, respectively of the The hooking member 4 is beveled, thus forming a snap-fit assembly, allowing assembly in one direction and preventing separation in the opposite direction.
  • the head 3b of the pusher is embedded in the thickness of the board of the stop member 8 so that the pusher cannot be activated inadvertently.
  • a simple tip of a ballpoint pen for example makes it possible to actuate the head 3b of the pusher to release the assembly element 3a from the housing 4c and the assembly element 4a from the assembly member 4 .
  • this connecting device Thanks to the design of this connecting device, the user does not have to remove the stop member 8. This is installed at the factory, as is the hooking member 3 and its spring. The only action that the user is required to make is to press pusher 3b when he wants to remove the bracelet. To put the bracelet back on, a simple push in the longitudinal axis of the bracelet towards the watch case 1 is sufficient, since the hooking members are assembled by snap-fastening.
  • the connection device which is the subject of the invention offers security guarantees comparable to conventional fixing by strip.
  • the X, Y and Z axes are perpendicular in pairs. In other embodiments, these axes are not necessarily perpendicular. They can also be substantially perpendicular. In particular, the X and Y axes are not necessarily perpendicular.
  • the watch case comprises the first hooking member 3 intended to cooperate with the second hooking member 4 provided on a bracelet strand, the first hooking member being movable laterally between two limit positions , a first position in which it is engaged with the second hooking member 4, a second position in which it is dissociated from this second hooking member 4, the elastic return means 5 tending to maintain the first member of hooking 3 movable laterally between two limit positions in said first position.
  • the bracelet strand comprises a second hooking member intended to cooperate with the first hooking member provided on the watch case.
  • a bracelet strand comprises the first hooking member intended to cooperate with the second hooking member provided on the watch case, the first hooking member being movable laterally between two limit positions, a first position in which it is engaged with the second hooking member, a second position in which it is dissociated from this second hooking member, the elastic return means tending to maintain the first hooking member movable laterally between two limit positions in said first position.
  • the watch case comprises a second hooking member intended to cooperate with the first hooking member provided on the bracelet strand.
