Definitions

the present invention relates to a bracelet clasp, in particular a folding buckle clasp for a watch strap.
the adjustment is done in steps corresponding to a link length. Fine tuning in the case of large links is therefore not possible. Moreover, once the adjustment is made, it is difficult to change, for example to increase the comfort during an effort or when the watch must be worn over a suit or a combination.
CH669501 discloses a detent mechanism integrated with the clasp. This device allows only a step adjustment corresponding to the distance between two notches, and requires opening the clasp to make the adjustment. It would however be desirable to be able to adjust the length of the bracelet with the folded clasp, so as to feel the effect of the change immediately.
AT360258 describes a mechanism for adjusting the length of a bracelet using a wheel whose actuation produces the winding of the strands of the bracelet around the axis of rotation of the wheel. This axis is perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet. This device is only suitable for bracelets whose end is flexible enough to wrap around an axis inside the clasp. The width of the clasp must be important to accommodate the wrapped bracelet.
US2005 / 0237864 describes a device for adjusting the length of a bracelet using a control wheel which causes the sliding of a strand on rails. This adjustment mechanism is not integrated in a clasp. The axis of the wheel is perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet. This solution also requires the winding of a strand around the axis of the wheel.
US4977614 discloses a device for adjusting the length of a notched bracelet with an adjustment wheel near the housing.
the axis of the roulette is parallel to the plane of the bracelet. This solution requires a bracelet whose upper surface is provided with notches.
EP1588642 discloses a folding clasp strap clasp implementing a wheel whose axis is once again perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet. A toothed wheel is mounted on the axis of the wheel to engage two racks under the cover of the clasp. This solution is complex and requires a very wide clasp to accommodate the toothed wheel and the two racks under the lid.
the use of a wheel with an axis perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet is not advantageous; the wheel must indeed project sufficiently protruding above the clasp to be easily handled by its periphery.
the wheel therefore adds a significant thickness to the clasp, which is uncomfortable when the wrist is placed on a table or in a suit sleeve for example.
An object of the present invention is to provide a bracelet clasp for fine adjustment of the length of the bracelet and free of limitations of known clasps.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple manufacturing clasp, reliable, easy to handle, and comfortable to wear.
Another object is to allow a sufficient adjustment range, for example close to half a link length.
a bracelet clasp for assembling a first and a second strand of a bracelet to open or enlarge the bracelet, comprising a threaded rod parallel to the plane of the bracelet.
the threaded rod is connected to a first movable strand of the bracelet.
a wheel whose longitudinal position is fixed relative to the second strand of the bracelet can be rotated so as to screw or unscrew the rod in the wheel or in the first strand, so as to move the first strand relative to the wheel.
the longitudinal direction of the bracelet is defined in the plane of the bracelet as the direction of maximum elongation of the bracelet.
the transverse direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in the plane of the bracelet; it is usually the direction of the pins connecting the links of the bracelet between them.
the underside of the bracelet or clasp is the face facing the wrist when the bracelet is worn; the outer face is opposite to the lower face.
the bracelet clasp shown on the Figures 1 to 4 comprises a metal cover 10 closing over spreading blades 5, 8.
the cover is formed from a metal plate of uniform thickness stamped and folded. Lids machined in the mass are also imaginable.
the folding blades illustrated have a central blade 5 which is housed in the folded position in a space between the two arms of a stretcher 8. The blade 5 and the stretcher 8 occupy a single thickness in the folded position as on the figure 4 .
other Deployant blade constructions, including butterfly clasps, may be used within the scope of the invention.
the clasp can be locked using a push mechanism 12 described in the application WO2006079605 in the name of the plaintiff.
the pushers 12 can be pushed against the action of not shown springs to move stops 14 in the mushroom shape in a transverse direction. In the rest position illustrated on the figure 4 , the abutments 14 are pushed by the springs outwards on each side of the clasp, so as to prevent the deployment of the branches of the stretcher 8 whose edge of the recesses 15 is retained by the head stops 15.
To open the clasp it is necessary to press the pushers 12 in order to move the two stops 14 to the openings 16 on the edge of the central blade 5, whose diameter is sufficient for the passage of the thrust heads and the deployment of the blades.
the central blade 5 is hingedly connected to the lid 10 via an axis 13.
the stretcher 8 is also hingedly connected to a second strand of the bracelet 3 or to a connecting piece with the second strand.
the first strand of the bracelet 2 is linked to the clasp by a mechanism allowing it to slide longitudinally so as to adjust the length of the bracelet.
this mechanism comprises a wheel 18 mounted on a threaded rod 20. It is sufficient that at least a portion of the outer faces of the rod 20 is threaded.
the axis of the wheel and the rod are both parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bracelet.
a portion of the lateral face of the wheel 18 passes through a rectangular window 24 on the upper face 29 of the lid 10, so as to allow manipulation of the wheel without opening the clasp.
the wheel preferably protrudes a few millimeters at most above the face 29. The majority of the volume of the wheel is thus permanently under the surface of the cover.
the side faces the wheel are provided with a grooved profile and / or ribbed 19 to facilitate its grip.
the threaded rod 12 and the wheel 18 are connected to the inner face of the cover in this example by a bow 22 visible in particular on the figure 3 .
the hoop has two transverse flanks on either side of the wheel, which are traversed by the rod 20 with enough clearance to allow it to pivot and / or slide.
the two flanks are connected to each other by arches parallel to the lid and against which the stretcher 8 comes to abut when the clasp is folded. This avoids a pressure of the blades 5, 8 of the clasp against the wheel 18.
Other equivalent stop members may be provided to limit the stroke oflames5,8 against the inner face of the lid.
the threaded rod 20 is engaged in an unillustrated tapped hole inside the wheel 18, so that the rotation of the wheel causes the screw to be screwed or unscrewed in the wheel 18 and an axial displacement of the rod which drives the first strand 2.
the threaded rod 20 is integral with the wheel 18 and rotates with it; the other end of this rod is engaged in a tapped hole in the strand 2, which moves longitudinally when the rod rotates with the wheel. This variant allows easier assembly of the clasp.
the end of the strand 2 is guided during its longitudinal displacement by the inner faces of the cover 10. More specifically, the strand is guided laterally between the lateral faces 27, and in height between the upper face 29 and folded portions 28 defining a lower face primer. Screws or pins 26 pass through the lateral faces 27 of the cover and engage in oblong openings not shown on each of the two lateral faces of the strand 2, so as to limit the stroke of the strand 2 and to avoid, for example, it comes out completely from the lid.
Two extreme longitudinal positions are illustrated on the figures 2 and 3 . The maintained longitudinal position is ensured by a high coefficient of friction of the threaded rod with the tapping corresponding in the wheel or strand.
Additional locking elements including a push button, screw or any suitable member may be provided to prevent accidental adjustment of the set position.
an annular seal not shown on both longitudinal sides of the wheel 18 rubs against the two transverse sides of the arch 22 and possibly against the edge of the lid to increase the torque necessary to operate the wheel.
the blades 5, 8 of the clasp largely conceal the rod and the portion of the wheel under the cover which are thus largely protected from dust, sand and perspiration.
