Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gliederband, insbesondere Uhrarmband, mit Gliederreihen aus in Bandquerrichtung nebeneinanderliegenden Bandgliedern, wobei die aneinander angrenzenden Bandglieder einer Gliederreihe Lücken und Vorsprünge bildend jeweils um ihre halbe Länge in Bandlängsrichtung übereinander versetzt angeordnet sind, und die Vorsprünge der einen Gliederreihe in die Lücken der benachbarten Gliederreihe hineinragen, mit Gelenkstiften, die in Bandquerrichtung sich erstreckende Ausnehmungen in den beiden in Bandlängsrichtung gerichteten Enden der Bandglieder durchragen und gegen axiales Verschieben gesichert sind.The invention relates to a link bracelet, in particular a watch strap, with link rows made of band links lying next to one another in the cross-band direction, the adjoining band links of a link row forming gaps and projections, each offset by half their length in the longitudinal direction of the tape, and the projections of one link row into the Gaps protrude from the adjacent row of links, with hinge pins which protrude through recesses extending in the transverse direction of the tape in the two ends of the tape links directed in the longitudinal direction of the tape and are secured against axial displacement.
Bei derartigen Gliederbändern ist es bekannt, daß die äußeren Bandglieder kraftschlüssig mit den Gelenkstiften verbunden sind. Durch axiale Kraftbeaufschlagung sind damit die Gelenkstifte entfernbar, so daß ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen eines Gelenkstiftes leicht möglich ist.In such link bands it is known that the outer band links are non-positively connected to the hinge pins. The hinge pins can thus be removed by axial application of force, so that unintentional loosening of a hinge pin is easily possible.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Gliederband nach dem Oberbegriff zu schaffen, das gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Gliederbandteile voneinander gesichert ist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a link belt according to the preamble, which is secured against unintentional detachment of the link belt parts from one another.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß zumindest ein Ende der Gelenkstifte an seinem in die Ausnehmung des äußeren Bandgliedes ragenden Bereich wenigstens einen radial federnden Rastarm mit einem radial hervorstehenden Rastnocken besitzt, der in eine entsprechende Rastausnehmung in der Wand der Ausnehmung einrastbar und in der Einrastposition blockierbar ist. Diese Ausbildung ermöglicht einen einfachen Zusammenbau, indem die Bandglieder auf die Gelenkstifte aufgeschoben werden, bis der Rastnocken des Rastarms in die Rastausnehmung des äußeren Bandgliedes einrastbar ist. Die anschließende Blockierung des Rastnockens in diese Einrastposition verhindert ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen. Eine derartige Verbindung kann entweder nur an einem äußeren Bandglied einer Gliederreihe oder aber auch an beiden äußeren Bandgliedern einer Gliederreihe angeordnet sein.This object is achieved in that at least one end of the hinge pins on its area projecting into the recess of the outer band member has at least one radially resilient latching arm with a radially projecting latching cam which can be latched into a corresponding latching recess in the wall of the recess and in the latching position can be blocked. This design enables simple assembly, in that the band links are pushed onto the hinge pins until the latching cam of the latch arm can be latched into the latching recess of the outer band link. The subsequent blocking of the locking cam in this locking position prevents unintentional loosening. Such a connection can either be arranged only on one outer band link of a row of links or else on both outer band links of a row of links.
Eine einfache und leicht sowie kostengünstig herstellbare Ausbildung besteht darin, daß das Ende des Gelenkstifts mit einer Koaxialbohrung versehen, rohrförmig ausgebildet ist und ein oder mehrere Radialschlitze aufweist, wobei ein Blockierzapfen gleichen Außendurchmessers wie der Innendurchmesser der Koaxialbohrung in die Koaxialbohrung einsetzbar ist.A simple and easy and inexpensive to manufacture is that the end of the hinge pin is provided with a coaxial bore, is tubular and has one or more radial slots, wherein a locking pin of the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of the coaxial bore can be used in the coaxial bore.
Ist der Rastnocken ein an der zylindrischen Mantelfläche des Endes des Zapfens radial umlaufender Ansatz, so kann er ebenfalls auf einfache Weise hergestellt werden. Vor zugweise ist dabei die Rastausnehmung eine Ringnut in der Wand der Ausnehmung.If the latching cam is a projection that runs radially around the cylindrical lateral surface of the end of the pin, it can also be produced in a simple manner. In front the latching recess is preferably an annular groove in the wall of the recess.
Die Ausnehmung des äußeren Bandgliedes ist durch einen einfachen Bohrvorgang herstellbar, wenn sie eine Stufenbohrung ist, deren zur freien Seite des Bandgliedes gerichtete große Stufe die Rastausnehmung bildet.The recess of the outer band member can be produced by a simple drilling process if it is a stepped bore, the large step of which is directed towards the free side of the band member and forms the latching recess.
In einer anderen Ausbildung kann die Ausnehmung des äußeren Bandgliedes eine Stufenbohrung sein, in deren zum benachbarten Bandglied gerichteten großen Stufe eine Hülse einsetzbar ist, deren Bohrungswandung eine radial umlaufende Ringnut aufweist.In another embodiment, the recess of the outer band member can be a stepped bore, in whose large step facing the adjacent band member a sleeve can be used, the bore wall of which has a radially circumferential annular groove.
Eine andere erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung eines Gegenstandes nach dem Oberbegriff besteht darin, daß zumindest ein Ende der Gelenkstifte eine nach außen mündende axiale Ausnehmung aufweist, in die ein Rastelement einsetzbar ist, das radial federnde Rastarme mit einem radial hervorstehenden Rastnocken besitzt, der in eine entsprechende Rastausnehmung in der Wand der Ausnehmung einrastbar und in der Einrastposition blockierbar ist. Auch diese Ausbildung ermöglicht einen einfachen Zusammebau, indem die Bandglieder auf die Gelenkstifte aufgeschoben werden, bis die Rastnocken der im äußeren Bandglied angeordneten Rastelemente in die Rastausnehmungen der Gelenkstifte einrasten. Die anschließende Blockierung der Rastnocken verhindert ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen.Another inventive design of an object according to the preamble is that at least one end of the hinge pins has an outwardly opening axial recess into which a latching element can be inserted, which has radially resilient latching arms with a radially projecting latching cam which fits into a corresponding latching recess in the wall of the recess can be locked and locked in the locked position. This design also enables simple assembly, in that the band links are pushed onto the hinge pins until the latching cams of the latching elements arranged in the outer band link snap into the latching recesses of the hinge pins. The subsequent blocking of the locking cams prevents unintentional loosening.
Eine einfache und leicht sowie kostengünstig herstellbare Ausbildung besteht darin, daß das Rastelement mit einer Koaxialbohrung versehen, rohrförmig ausgebildet ist und an seinem in den Gelenkstift ragenden Ende ein oder mehrere radiale Schlitze aufweist, wobei ein Blockierzapfen gleichen Außendurchmessers wie der Innendurchmesser der Koaxialbohrung, in die Koaxialbohrung einsetzbar ist.A simple and easy and inexpensive to manufacture is that the locking element is provided with a coaxial bore, is tubular and a or at its end projecting into the hinge pin has a plurality of radial slots, wherein a locking pin of the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of the coaxial bore can be inserted into the coaxial bore.
Ist der Rastnocken ein an der zylindrischen Mantelfläche des in den Gelenkstift ragenden Endes des Rastelementes radial umlaufender Ansatz, so kann er ebenfalls auf einfache Weise hergestellt werden. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Rastausnehmung eine Ringnut in der Wand der axialen Ausnehmung des Gelenkstifts.If the locking cam is a radially circumferential extension on the cylindrical outer surface of the end of the locking element which projects into the hinge pin, it can also be produced in a simple manner. The latching recess is preferably an annular groove in the wall of the axial recess of the hinge pin.
Entspricht der Außendurchmesser des Gelenkstifts dem Innendurchmesser der Ausnehmungen der Bandglieder, so besitzen die einzelnen Bandglieder eine einwandfreie Führung und können nicht quer zur Längserstreckung des Bandgliedes kippen, sondern nur um die Gelenkstifte verschwenken. Dies vermeidet auch einen vorzeitigen Verschleiß der Gelenkstifte.If the outside diameter of the hinge pin corresponds to the inside diameter of the recesses in the band links, the individual band links have a perfect guide and cannot tilt transversely to the longitudinal extent of the band link, but can only pivot about the hinge pins. This also prevents premature wear of the hinge pins.
Ist der Innendurchmesser der Ausnehmungen der äußeren Bandglieder geringer als der Innendurchmesser der Ausnehmungen der inneren Bandglieder, so wird an dem entsprechend ausgebildeten Gelenkstift eine Ringschulter gebildet, an der das äußere Bandglied sicher geführt in Anlage ist, und zwischen den inneren Bandgliedern das für eine leichte Verschwenkbarkeit erforderliche Spiel sicherstellt.If the inner diameter of the recesses of the outer band links is smaller than the inner diameter of the recesses of the inner band links, an annular shoulder is formed on the correspondingly designed hinge pin, on which the outer band link is securely guided, and between the inner band links for easy pivoting ensures required game.
Die Koaxialbohrung des Gelenkstifts kann entweder eine Sackbohrung oder eine durchgehend ausgebildete Bohrung sein. Ist sie durchgehend ausgebildet, so können Blockierzapfen und Gelenkstift etwa gleiche Länge besitzen. Damit ist die Koaxialbohrung an ihren Mündungen sauber verschlossen.The coaxial bore of the hinge pin can either be a blind bore or a continuous bore. If it is continuous, the locking pin and the hinge pin can have approximately the same length. In order to the coaxial bore is neatly closed at its mouths.
Eine einfache Halterung des Blockierzapfens in seiner Einbauposition besteht darin, daß der Blockierzapfen mittels Preßpassung in die Koaxialbohrung einsetzbar ist.A simple mounting of the locking pin in its installation position consists in that the locking pin can be inserted into the coaxial bore by means of an interference fit.
Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, daß die Koaxialbohrung des Gelenkstifts eine Gewindebohrung ist, in die der mit einem entsprechenden Gewinde versehene Blockierzapfen einschraubbar ist. Beide Ausführungen ermöglichen auch eine einfache Demontage.Another possibility is that the coaxial bore of the hinge pin is a threaded bore into which the locking pin provided with a corresponding thread can be screwed. Both versions also allow easy disassembly.
Vorzugsweise ist bei einem mit Gewinde versehenen Blockierzapfen die Koaxialbohrung eine Stufenbohrung, deren im Bereich des äußeren Bandgliedes ausgebildete große Stufe nach außen mündet und deren kleine Stufe als Gewindebohrung ausgebildet ist.Preferably, in the case of a threaded locking pin, the coaxial bore is a stepped bore, the large step formed in the region of the outer band member opens out and the small step is designed as a threaded hole.
Der Blockierzapfen kann an seinem zum Randbereich des Gliederbandes gerichteten Ende einen Kopf aufweisen, durch den vorzugsweise die nach außen mündende Öffnung der Ausnehmung des äußeren Bandglieds verschließbar ist, so daß nach außen hin ein sowohl optisch sauberer als auch ein Eindringen von Schmutz verhindernder Abschluß vorhanden ist.The locking pin can have a head at its end directed towards the edge region of the link belt, through which the preferably opening outward opening of the recess of the outer belt link can be closed, so that there is a closure that is both optically clean and prevents the ingress of dirt .
Eine weitere erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung eines Gegenstandes nach dem Oberbegriff besteht darin, daß zumindest ein Ende der Gelenkstifte mit einer Koaxialbohrung versehen rohrförmig ausgebildet ist, und an seinem in die Ausnehmung des äußeren Bandgliedes ragenden Bereich einen radial hervorstehenden, in eine entsprechende Rastausnehmung in der Wand der Ausnehmung eingreifenden Rastnocken bildend plastisch verformbar ist, wobei der Rastnocken in der in die Rastausnehmung eingreifenden Position blockierbar ist. Auf einfachste Weise ist damit sowohl eine Montage als auch eine Sicherung gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen erreicht.A further inventive design of an object according to the preamble consists in that at least one end of the hinge pins is provided with a coaxial bore and is tubular and has a portion protruding into the recess of the outer band member radially protruding locking cams engaging in a corresponding locking recess in the wall of the recess can be plastically deformed, the locking cam being lockable in the position engaging in the locking recess. In the simplest way, both assembly and securing against unintentional loosening are achieved.
Besonders einfach wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß zumindest ein Ende der Gelenkstifte eine nach außen mündende axiale Ausnehmung aufweist, in die ein mit einer Axialbohrung ausgebildetes Rastelement einrastbar ist, das an seinem in die Ausnehmung des Gelenkstifts ragenden Bereich einen radial hervorstehenden in eine entsprechende Rastausnehmung in der Wand der Ausnehmung des Gelenkstifts eingreifenden Rastnocken bildend plastisch verformbar ist, wobei der Rastnocken in der in die Rastausnehmung eingreifenden Position blockierbar ist. Dabei kann der Gelenkstift bzw. das Rastele ment durch einen in die Koaxialbohrung bzw. die Axialbohrung einsetzbaren Blockierzapfen zumindest teilweise größeren Durchmessers als dem Innendurchmesser der unverformten Koaxialbohrung bzw. Axialbohrung plastisch verformbar sein.This is achieved in a particularly simple manner in that at least one end of the hinge pins has an outward-opening axial recess into which a latching element formed with an axial bore can be latched, which in its area protruding into the recess of the hinge pin has a radially projecting into a corresponding latching recess in the wall of the recess of the hinge pin engaging latching cams is plastically deformable, the latching cam being lockable in the position engaging in the latching recess. The hinge pin or the Rastele element can be plastically deformable by a blocking pin that can be inserted into the coaxial bore or the axial bore, at least partially larger than the inside diameter of the undeformed coaxial bore or axial bore.
