Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking or jewelery. It relates more precisely a bracelet whose length is continuously adjustable.
  • the length of a bracelet is generally adjustable discontinuously.
  • a leather watch strap for example, only a few predetermined fixing positions are possible.
  • a metal bracelet with articulated links or not whether it is a watch or ornament bracelet, the length varies in steps corresponding to the width of a link. Fine adjustment of the length of a bracelet is, therefore, rarely possible.
  • the bracelet can be integrally or partially, only, formed of the link.
  • the adjustment system may, for example, consist of a stopper of the type used in sports articles such as sleeping bags, wallets or weatherproof clothing. Such a stopper is described, among others, in the JP-A-10042917 .
  • a solution of this type can be extremely practical and resolutely modern.
  • the stopper excludes a portion of the loop-shaped link between its two ends.
  • the effective length of the link is equal to the sum of the lengths of the portions taken, respectively, between the ends and the stopper.
  • the stoppers exclude two link portions between the ends and the nearest stopper.
  • the useful length of the link is equal to the length of the portion taken between the two stoppers.
  • the present invention makes it possible to overcome this disadvantage by proposing a continuously adjustable watch or jewelery bracelet, comprising a link and a stopper defining a useful length of the variable link, without excluding any portion of the link.
  • the useful length of the link can vary continuously, substantially by a factor of one to a half.
  • the invention also relates to a stopper comprising a body provided with a hole BB axis able to let a link, and releasable locking means of the link inside the hole, characterized in that it comprises, in in addition, fastening means for the end of a link.
  • the wristwatch represented in Figure 2a and 2b typically comprises a box 10 and a bracelet 12 for wearing the wrist watch.
  • the bracelet 12 is formed of a strand 14 of fixed length, a length 16 adjustable in length and a clasp 18.
  • Each strand 14, 16 is fixed at one end to the box 10 and the other end 18 Clasp 18.
  • the clasp 18 is deploying type, but, in another variant, it could be conventionally formed of two separate parts.
  • the strand 14 is formed of a link 20, for example a wire rope, a rope, or a leather strap, folded in two so as to form substantially a U, whose ends are fixed to the clasp 18 and the curved portion, to the box 10.
  • a connecting piece 22, comprising a curved tubular portion 24, is articulated on the box 10 by means of a hinge 26, and the link 20 is threaded to its portion approximately median in the tubular portion 24.
  • the clasp 18 comprises two substantially cylindrical housings 28 and 30 in which are mounted tight the ends of the link 20.
  • An element 32 having two through holes is mounted on the link 20 about halfway through. length, in order to maintain the two branches of the U formed by the link 20, close and substantially parallel.
  • the useful length of the link 20 is equal to its half length.
  • the strand 16 includes a stopper 34 for its adjustment in length and two links 36 and 38 integral with each other so that a relative sliding movement is possible.
  • the stopper 34 conventionally comprises a through hole 40 for the passage of a link and disengageable locking means 42 of this link. It further comprises fastening means 44 for a link end.
  • the stopper 34 will be described in more detail with regard to figures 7 and 8 .
  • the link 36 is folded in two so as to form a U and its ends are fixed to the clasp 18 in the manner of the link 20.
  • the useful length of the link 36 is fixed and equal to its half-length.
  • the link 38 is also folded in two so as to form a U, one branch is longer than the other.
  • the longest leg is engaged in the hole 40 of the stopper 34 to a locking point 46 defined as the location on the link 38 where the locking means 42 act. Its end is fixed to the box 10 and forms a fixed first attachment point 48 of the link 38.
  • the box 10 comprises a fixing element 50 provided with a cylindrical housing 52 in which this end is mounted tight.
  • the end of the shortest leg is attached to the stopper 34 by the fastening means 44, and forms a second fixed fixing point 54 of the link 38.
  • the link 36 and the link portion 38 between the blocking point 46 and the second fixed fixing point 54 are interwoven so as to form a very loose flat node constituting a variable attachment point 56 of the link 38.
  • the links 36 and 38 are thus integral while remaining free to slide relative to each other.
  • the useful length of the link 38 is equal to the length of the longest branch of the U, that is to say the length taken between the first point of fixed fastening 48 of the link 38 and the fixing point 56 variable. This length is variable thanks to the presence of the stopper 34. In practice, it can vary substantially from the length of the link 38 to its half-length, without any portion of link is excluded.
  • the watch formed of the bracelet 12 and the box 10 is classically threaded to the wrist through the opening and closing of the clasp 18. Its length adjustment is done through the stopper 34 associated with the link 38.
  • the stopper 34 associated with the link 38.
  • the length of the bracelet 12 is fixed and determined by the useful length of the link 38.
  • the locking means 42 of the stopper 34 are disengaged, the link 38 can slide inside the hole 40 of The link 38 slides relative to the link 36 at the variable attachment point 56, and the useful length of the link 38 varies continuously.
  • the length of the bracelet according to the invention can thus be finely adjusted in an extremely simple manner.
  • the link 36 is absent, and the link 38 forms, with the stopper 34, the strand 16.
  • the link 38 is fixed by one of its ends forming a first fixing point 48 fixed to the box 10
  • the clasp 18 is fixed, by its variable fixing point 56, to the clasp 18.
  • the clasp 18 comprises a tubular portion 58 in which is threaded the link 38, so as to slide freely.
  • a second variant of the wristwatch represented in figure 4 differs from the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2a, 2b , in that the link 20 and the clasp 18 are absent from the bracelet 12.
  • the link 36 is folded in two so as to form a U and fixed by its ends to the box 10.
  • the box 10 is provided with two cylindrical housings 60 and 62 within which the ends of the link 36 are mounted tightly.
  • the link 36 and the link portion 38 between the blocking point 46 and the second determined fixing point 54 are intertwined so as to form a very loose flat knot constituting the variable attachment point 56 of the link 38.
  • the links 36 and 38 are thus integral while remaining free to slide relative to each other.
  • the maximum length of the bracelet 12 must allow the passage of the hand to put the watch. Conversely, the bracelet 12 must be able to grip the wrist of the user.
  • the link 36 and the link 38, adjustable in length, must therefore be dimensioned accordingly.
  • the bracelet 12 consists solely of the adjustable link 38.
  • the link 38 is fixed by one of its ends forming a first fixing point 48 fixed to the box 10.
  • it is fixed its variable fixing point 56, to the box 10 via the connecting piece 22.
  • the link 38 must be sized to allow the passage of the hand of the user, and tightening the wristband 12 to the wrist.
  • FIG 6 there is shown an ornamental bracelet formed solely of the link 38 closing on itself.
  • the first fixed attachment point 48 of the link 38 is provided with a ring 64 in which is threaded the portion between the blocking point 46 and the second fixing point 54 fixed.
  • the ring 64 may consist of a clasp for opening and closing the bracelet.
  • the link 38 associated with the stopper 34, comprises three attachment points. Two of these attachment points 48 and 54 are fixed and correspond to both ends of the link 38.
  • the third point 56 does not occupy a position defined on the link 38 but is variable depending on the useful length thereof. It is substantially midway between the locking point 46 and the end attached to the stopper 34.
  • the stopper employed must comprise fixing means for a link end. Two examples of stoppers are described with regard to figures 7 and 8 .
  • the stopper represented in Figure 7a, b, c and d conventionally comprises a body 66, formed of two shells 68a and 68b assembled together with two screws 70a and 70b, and a piston 72 provided with a shoulder 74.
  • the shells 68a and 68b have two recesses 76a and 76b, respectively. , which together define a housing 78 of longitudinal axis AA.
  • the piston 72 is mounted to move in translation in the housing 78, the shoulder 74 being housed in the groove 80. Its stroke is limited, on the one hand , by the bottom of the housing 78, and secondly by the stop 82 against which the shoulder 74 bears.
  • a first hole 84 of axis of symmetry BB perpendicular to AA passes through the body 66 at the height of the housing 78.
  • a second hole 86 of axis of symmetry CC parallel to BB passes through the piston 72, so that the holes 84 and 86 are coaxial at a point of the stroke of the piston 72.
  • the piston 72 forms with the housing 78 and the spring 90a and 90b, the releasable locking means 42 mentioned before.
  • the springs 90a and 90b exert a force on the piston 72 tending to expel the housing 78.
  • the piston is in abutment against the stop 82, and the holes 84 and 86 are then off-center.
  • Pressure exerted on the piston 72 serves to compress the springs 90a and 90b and to align the holes 84 and 86. It is then possible to freely engage, in the holes 84 and 86, a link of diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the holes. holes 84 and 86.
  • the pressure is released, the force exerted by the springs 90a and 90b is no longer compensated, and the piston is pushed again out of the housing 78.
  • the holes 84 and 86 tend to be off-center. , so that the piston 72 and the body 66 exert a shearing force on the link. Under the effect of this shearing force, the link is blocked inside the hole 84.
  • the shells 68a and 68b further comprise two recesses 92a and 92b in the form of half-cylinders, together defining a cylindrical hole 94 of axis DD parallel to the axes BB and CC.

  • a tip 98 intended to equip the end of a link is housed in the hole 94.
  • the tip 98 is formed of a cylindrical piece provided with a shoulder 99 positioned axially and radially in the groove 96.
  • the tip 98 forms with the hole 94, the fixing means 44 described previously.
  • FIG. 8a, b, c and d An alternative stopper according to the invention is represented in figure 8a, b, c and d .
  • This stopper is distinguished from the preceding by its locking means 42 formed of a housing 100, a piston 102 movable inside the housing 100 and a spring 104.
  • the housing 100 comprises a first portion 106 substantially cylindrical of axis EE perpendicular to the axis BB of the hole 84 located in the shell 68a.
  • a second portion 110 extends in the shell 68b, perpendicular to the axis EE and the axis BB, between the portion 106 and the hole 84.
  • the piston is formed of a substantially cylindrical element 112 housed in the portion of housing 106, and a substantially parallelepipedic element 114 housed in the housing portion 110.
  • the elements 112 and 114 are secured and fixed with a screw 116.
  • the element 114 comprises a recess 118 forming a portion of cylinder axis FF off center relative to the axis BB when the element 114 bears against the shell 68a.
  • the element 114 thus slightly closes the hole 84 at the housing 100 when it bears on the shell 68a.
  • the spring 104 is mounted substantially compressed on the cylindrical element 112.
  • the housing portion 106 and the cylindrical element 112 comprise each a shoulder respectively 120 and 122 forming two abutments located opposite one another, between which the spring 104 is mounted in compression.
  • the spring 104 When no pressure is exerted on the piston 102, the spring 104, substantially compressed, exerts a thrust on the piston 102 tending to expel its housing 100.
  • the parallelepipedic element 114 is then pressed against the shell 68a and the hole 84 is slightly closed. Pressure on the piston 102 further compresses the spring 104, and allows to separate the element 114 from the shell 68a.
  • the hole 84 is clear and a link of diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the hole 84 can be engaged.
  • the spring again plates the element 114 against the shell 68a.
  • the element 114 then exerts a compressive force on the link, thus blocking it in the hole 84.
  • this variant of the stopper comprises fastening means 44 for a link end.
  • These fixing means 44 may, for example, be of the type already described, but any other fixing means may be envisaged by the skilled person.
