Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'attache d'un bracelet à une carrure de montre. Plus précisément, le mécanisme selon l'invention comporte une attache destinée à être solidaire de la carrure, et au moins un organe de liaison présentant une connexion mécanique avec l'attache, et destiné à être solidaire d'une extrémité du bracelet.The present invention relates to a device for attaching a bracelet to a watchband. More specifically, the mechanism according to the invention comprises a fastener intended to be secured to the middle part, and at least one connecting member having a mechanical connection with the fastener, and intended to be secured to one end of the strap.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Des dispositifs de ce type ont déjà été divulgués dans l'art antérieur. A titre d'exemple, le brevet US 5,577,007 présente une montre-bracelet comportant deux organes de liaison montés pivotant sur la carrure et rendus solidaires des extrémités d'un bracelet au moyen d'une tige de fixation. Les organes de liaison sont conformés de manière à recouvrir partiellement la carrure de la montre dans des régions situées à « six heures » et à « douze heures ».Devices of this type have already been disclosed in the prior art. For example, the patent US5,577,007 presents a wristwatch comprising two connecting members pivotally mounted on the middle part and secured to the ends of a bracelet by means of a fixing rod. The connecting members are shaped so as to partially cover the middle part of the watch in regions at "six o'clock" and "twelve o'clock".

Cette conformation permet à l'organe de liaison d'avoir une amplitude de déplacement importante, et de bien épouser la forme du poignet de l'utilisateur.This conformation allows the connecting member to have a large range of displacement, and to marry the shape of the wrist of the user.

Cependant, lorsque la montre est portée par une personne ayant un poignet fin, l'angle entre la carrure et l'organe de liaison est important. La solution décrite dans ce brevet est donc réalisée au détriment de l'apparence esthétique de la montre.However, when the watch is worn by a person with a thin wrist, the angle between the middle and the connecting member is important. The solution described in this patent is therefore carried out at the expense of the aesthetic appearance of the watch.

Divulgation de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

Un but principal de la présente invention est de pallier les inconvénients du dispositif d'attache du brevet US 5,577,007 , en proposant un dispositif d'attache améliorant l'harmonie des lignes de la montre, tout en autorisant une amplitude de déplacement angulaire importante entre la carrure de la montre et le dispositif d'attache.A main object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the patent attachment device US5,577,007 , by providing a fastening device improving the harmony of the lines of the watch, while allowing a large range of angular displacement between the middle part of the watch and the fastening device.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif d'attache tel que décrit plus haut, caractérisé par le fait que la connexion mécanique entre l'attache et l'organe de liaison est agencée de telle manière que l'organe de liaison est susceptible de présenter un mouvement de rotation en référence à la carrure, suivant un axe de rotation orthogonal à la direction longitudinale du bracelet, et est situé à distance de la connexion mécanique.For this purpose, the present invention relates more particularly to a fastening device as described above, characterized in that the mechanical connection between the fastener and the connecting member is arranged in such a way that the connecting member is likely to present a rotational movement with reference to the middle, along an axis of rotation orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet, and is located at a distance from the mechanical connection.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, l'organe de liaison selon l'invention peut se déplacer selon un angle important afin de suivre la forme du poignet de l'utilisateur, sans nuire à l'harmonie des lignes de la montre.Thanks to these characteristics, the connecting member according to the invention can move at a large angle in order to follow the shape of the wrist of the user, without harming the harmony of the lines of the watch.

De manière préférée, la connexion mécanique est réalisée par la coopération d'au moins un organe mâle agencé pour se déplacer dans au moins un organe femelle comprenant une fente présentant sensiblement la forme d'une portion de cercle.Preferably, the mechanical connection is made by the cooperation of at least one male member arranged to move in at least one female member comprising a slot having substantially the shape of a portion of a circle.

Le fait d'utiliser une fente et pas un trou permet d'éloigner la position de l'axe de rotation de l'organe de liaison par rapport à l'organe d'attache, de manière à ce que l'organe de liaison puisse tourner selon une plage angulaire importante, tout en préservant l'aspect esthétique de la montre.The fact of using a slot and not a hole makes it possible to move the position of the axis of rotation of the connecting member relative to the attachment member so that the connecting member can rotate in a large angular range, while preserving the aesthetic appearance of the watch.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'attache comprend deux parois latérales dans chacune desquelles est ménagée une fente présentant sensiblement la forme d'une portion de cercle, l'organe de liaison portant au moins deux organes mâles agencés pour coopérer chacun avec l'une des fentes, ou au moins un organe mâle agencé pour coopérer simultanément avec les fentes.According to a preferred embodiment, the fastener comprises two side walls in each of which is formed a slot having substantially the shape of a portion of a circle, the connecting member carrying at least two male members arranged to cooperate each with the one of the slots, or at least one male member arranged to cooperate simultaneously with the slots.

Avantageusement, l'organe de liaison présente des première et seconde paires de cornes susceptibles de permettre l'attache de l'organe de liaison, respectivement, à la carrure et au bracelet. La première paire de cornes comprend préférablement une première paire de trous permettant d'assurer la fixation d'une première tige par ses extrémités, la tige étant engagée dans les fentes de l'attache, pour remplir le rôle de l'organe mâle.Advantageously, the connecting member has first and second pairs of horns capable of allowing the attachment of the connecting member, respectively, to the middle part and the bracelet. The first pair of horns preferably comprises a first pair of holes for securing a first rod by its ends, the rod being engaged in the slots of the fastener, to fulfill the role of the male member.

Par ailleurs, de manière préférée, la première paire de cornes comprend une seconde paire de trous permettant d'assurer la fixation d'une seconde tige par ses extrémités, la tige étant sensiblement parallèle à la première tige et engagée dans les fentes de l'attache, pour remplir le rôle d'un organe mâle supplémentaire.Furthermore, preferably, the first pair of horns comprises a second pair of holes for securing a second rod by its ends, the rod being substantially parallel to the first rod and engaged in the slots of the attachment, to fulfill the role of an additional male organ.

La présente invention a également trait aux boîtes de montre comportant une carrure de part et d'autre de laquelle sont agencés des premier et second dispositifs d'attaches, selon les caractéristiques précédentes et, destinés à permettre l'attache d'un bracelet, chacun desdits dispositifs d'attache comprenant une attache solidaire de la carrure.The present invention also relates to watch cases having a middle on either side of which are arranged first and second fasteners, according to the preceding features and, intended to allow the attachment of a bracelet, each said fastening devices comprising a fastener secured to the middle part.

L'invention concerne aussi les boîtes de montre du type qui vient d'être décrit, et dont l'attache est formée d'une pièce avec la carrure.The invention also relates to watch cases of the type which has just been described, and whose attachment is formed integrally with the middle part.

Enfin, l'invention se rapporte aux montres-bracelets comportant une boîte telle que présentée, ainsi qu'un bracelet relié à la boîte.Finally, the invention relates to wristwatches comprising a box as shown, and a bracelet connected to the box.

Mode(s) de réalisation de l'inventionMode (s) of realization of the invention

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, présenté aux figures 1 et 2, la boîte de montre 1 comprend un dispositif d'attache 2, un fond 3, une carrure 4 et une lunette 5.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, presented to figures 1 and 2 , the watch case 1 comprises a fastening device 2, a bottom 3, a middle part 4 and a bezel 5.

Plus précisément, le fond 3 comporte un cadre 6 ayant une forme sensiblement rectangulaire et incurvée de manière à suivre la forme du poignet de la personne qui porte la montre. La surface de la base 7 du cadre 6 est plus petite que celle de la partie supérieure 8.More specifically, the bottom 3 comprises a frame 6 having a substantially rectangular shape and curved so as to follow the shape of the wrist of the person wearing the watch. The surface of the base 7 of the frame 6 is smaller than that of the upper part 8.

Le cadre 6 comprend une partie centrale 9 qui peut être avantageusement transparente, comme une glace en saphir pour que l'utilisateur puisse visualiser le mouvement. De manière alternative, la partie 9 peut aussi être opaque.The frame 6 comprises a central portion 9 which may be advantageously transparent, such as a sapphire crystal so that the user can visualize the movement. Alternatively, the portion 9 may also be opaque.

La partie supérieure 8 du cadre 6 porte une saillie 10, de forme sensiblement plus arrondie que celle du cadre 6. Cette saillie 10 comporte un sillon 12 sur sa crête permettant de loger un joint d'étanchéité (non représenté ici).The upper part 8 of the frame 6 carries a projection 10, of substantially more rounded shape than the frame 6. This projection 10 has a groove 12 on its ridge for housing a seal (not shown here).

Par ailleurs, à chacun des quatre coins du cadre 6 se trouve un trou traversant 14 destiné à loger une vis d'assemblage (non représentée) du fond 3 sur la carrure 4.Furthermore, at each of the four corners of the frame 6 is a through hole 14 for housing an assembly screw (not shown) of the bottom 3 on the middle part 4.

Les parois externes du cadre 6, situées à « six heures » et « douze heures » comprennent chacune une patte 15 destinée à dissimuler des tiges, comme on le verra dans la suite de la description.The outer walls of the frame 6, located at "six o'clock" and "twelve o'clock" each comprise a tab 15 for concealing stems, as will be seen in the following description.

Par ailleurs, sur une autre paroi externe du cadre 6, située en regard de la position « trois heures », une creusure 16 ayant la forme d'une portion de disque est prévue pour loger la couronne de remontoir (non visible ici).Furthermore, on another outer wall of the frame 6, located opposite the "three o'clock" position, a recess 16 having the shape of a disc portion is provided to house the winding crown (not visible here).

Cette portion de disque 16 est complétée par une seconde portion de disque 18, située sur la carrure 4, de manière à ce que les deux portions 16 et 18 forment un disque entier lorsque la boîte 1 est assemblée. La seconde portion de disque 18 comporte par ailleurs un trou central 20 à travers lequel passe la tige de remontoir (non représentée).This disk portion 16 is completed by a second disk portion 18, located on the middle part 4, so that the two portions 16 and 18 form an entire disk when the box 1 is assembled. The second disk portion 18 further includes a central hole 20 through which the winding stem (not shown) passes.

La carrure 4 a quant à elle une forme analogue à celle du fond 3, c'est-à-dire qu'elle est sensiblement rectangulaire, et présente ici la même courbure que le fond 3 à titre illustratif non limitatif.The middle part 4 has a shape similar to that of the bottom 3, that is to say it is substantially rectangular, and here has the same curvature as the bottom 3 for illustrative non-limiting.

Quatre trous borgnes 25, situés sur la base 24 de la carrure 4, en regard des trous 14, servent à loger les vis d'assemblage du fond sur la carrure.Four blind holes 25, located on the base 24 of the middle 4, facing the holes 14, are used to accommodate the assembly screws of the bottom on the middle part.

Sur la partie supérieure 22 de la carrure 4, quatre trous borgnes 26 permettent de loger des pieds d'assemblage situés sur la lunette 5, comme nous le verrons plus loin.On the upper part 22 of the middle part 4, four blind holes 26 can accommodate assembly feet located on the bezel 5, as we will see later.

La paroi interne de la carrure 4 présente un premier épaulement 28, plan, sur toute la circonférence de la carrure, et ayant une forme identique à celle de la saillie 10, de manière à ce que l'assemblage du fond 3 et de la carrure 4 soit étanche, en interposant une garniture d'étanchéité non visible.The inner wall of the middle part 4 has a first shoulder 28, plane, all around the circumference of the middle part, and having a shape identical to that of the projection 10, so that the assembly of the bottom 3 and the middle part 4 be waterproof, by interposing a non-visible seal.

La partie supérieure 30 de l'épaulement 28 présente quatre creusures 32 centrées respectivement sur les positions « 3 heures », « 6 heures », « 9 heures » et « 12 heures ». Entre chaque creusure 32 se trouve une arête 34, de hauteur sensiblement égale à la moitié de la hauteur des creusures 32. Les creusures 32 et les arêtes 34 sont destinées à soutenir le mouvement de la montre (non représenté).The upper portion 30 of the shoulder 28 has four recesses 32 centered respectively on the "3 o'clock", "6 o'clock", "9 o'clock" and "12 o'clock" positions. Between each hollow 32 is an edge 34, of height substantially equal to half the height of the recesses 32. The recesses 32 and the edges 34 are intended to support the movement of the watch (not shown).

La paroi interne de la carrure 4 comprend également quatre surfaces d'appui 36, planes, situées sensiblement à chaque coin de la carrure, et contre lesquelles repose la lunette 5.The inner wall of the middle part 4 also comprises four planar bearing surfaces 36 located substantially at each corner of the middle part and against which the seat 5 rests.

Par ailleurs, la lunette 5 comporte un contour 38 de forme analogue à celle du fond 3 et de la carrure 4, la base 40 du contour 38 étant de dimensions égales à celles de la partie supérieure 22 de la carrure 4, et la partie supérieure 42 de la lunette 5 occupant une surface moindre que la base 40.Moreover, the bezel 5 has a contour 38 of shape similar to that of the bottom 3 and the middle 4, the base 40 of the contour 38 being of equal dimensions to those of the upper part 22 of the middle part 4, and the upper part 42 of the bezel 5 occupying a smaller area than the base 40.

On notera que les parois externes 44 de la lunette 5 sont avantageusement biseautées, de façon à ce que l'apparence de la montre soit particulièrement harmonieuse.Note that the outer walls 44 of the bezel 5 are advantageously bevelled, so that the appearance of the watch is particularly harmonious.

La base 40 de la lunette 5 comprend une saillie 46 sensiblement rectangulaire, qui porte un sillon 48 sur sa crête afin de loger un joint d'étanchéité (non représenté ici). Cette saillie 46 repose sur les surfaces d'appui 36 de la carrure 4 lorsque la boîte 1 est assemblée.The base 40 of the bezel 5 comprises a substantially rectangular projection 46, which carries a groove 48 on its ridge to accommodate a seal (not shown here). This projection 46 rests on the bearing surfaces 36 of the caseband 4 when the box 1 is assembled.

La base 40 porte aussi quatre pieds 50 situés en regard des trous 26. Ces pieds 50 sont destinés à assurer le montage de la lunette 5 sur la carrure 4.The base 40 also carries four feet 50 located opposite the holes 26. These feet 50 are intended to mount the bezel 5 on the middle part 4.

La lunette 5 porte par ailleurs une glace 52, de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, qui peut par exemple être en saphir ou en verre. Celle-ci est par exemple collée dans l'ouverture de la lunette 5.The bezel 5 also carries an ice 52, of substantially rectangular shape, which may for example be sapphire or glass. This one is for example glued in the opening of the telescope 5.

La boîte 1 comporte également deux dispositifs d'attache de bracelet de montre 2, comprenant chacun une attache 54 solidaire de la carrure 4, et placée en regard des positions « six heures » et « douze heures », et un organe de liaison 56 qui est monté sur l'attache 54, comme on le verra plus loin.The box 1 also comprises two watch strap attachment devices 2, each comprising a fastener 54 integral with the middle part 4, and placed opposite the "six o'clock" and "twelve o'clock" positions, and a connecting member 56 which is mounted on the fastener 54, as will be seen later.

On notera que la largeur du dispositif d'attache 2 est proche de celle de la carrure 4, de façon à ce que les lignes de la montre soient les plus esthétiques possibles. En conséquence l'organe de liaison 56 a une largeur similaire à celle de la carrure 4, tandis que l'attache 54 est plus étroite, et a une largeur sensiblement égale à celle de la patte 15.Note that the width of the fastening device 2 is close to that of the middle part 4, so that the lines of the watch are as aesthetic as possible. As a result, the connecting member 56 has a width similar to that of the middle part 4, while the fastener 54 is narrower, and has a width substantially equal to that of the tab 15.

Par ailleurs, la courbure du dispositif d'attache 2 a également été travaillée de manière à éviter toute discontinuité des lignes de la montre lorsqu'un utilisateur la porte. La courbure est donc similaire à celle de la carrure 4 à proximité de cette dernière, et s'accroît en direction du bracelet (non représenté).Moreover, the curvature of the fastening device 2 has also been worked in such a manner as to avoid any discontinuity of the lines of the watch when a user wears it. The curvature is similar to that of the middle 4 near the latter, and increases towards the bracelet (not shown).

Du point de vue structurel, l'attache 54 présente une partie supérieure 58 sensiblement rectangulaire, et deux parois latérales 60 dont chacune est pourvue d'une fente 62 ayant sensiblement la forme d'un arc de cercle.From the structural point of view, the fastener 54 has a substantially rectangular upper portion 58, and two side walls 60 each of which is provided with a slot 62 having substantially the shape of a circular arc.

L'attache porte aussi une première barre 64 située sensiblement contre la carrure 4 et destinée à renforcer la résistance du dispositif, ainsi qu'une barre transversale 66, de hauteur réduite par rapport aux parois latérales et disposée à l'extrémité de la partie supérieure 58, pour dissimuler l'intérieur du dispositif d'attache 2 lorsque l'organe de liaison 56 présente un déplacement angulaire important, c'est-à-dire lorsque la personne qui porte la montre a un poignet fin.The clip also carries a first bar 64 situated substantially against the middle part 4 and intended to reinforce the resistance of the device, as well as a transverse bar 66, of reduced height relative to the side walls and disposed at the end of the upper part. 58, to conceal the inside of the attachment device 2 when the connecting member 56 has a large angular displacement, that is to say when the person wearing the watch has a thin wrist.

L'organe de liaison 56 comporte quant à lui deux parois latérales 68 ayant une forme sensiblement triangulaire, de façon à ce que les côtés 70 des parois latérales 58 en contact avec la carrure 4 aient une épaisseur similaire à celle de cette dernière. On notera que les côtés 70 ont une courbure sensiblement complémentaire à celle des côtés de la carrure 4, de manière à épouser la forme de cette dernière lorsque l'organe de liaison 56 tourne.The connecting member 56 comprises meanwhile two side walls 68 having a substantially triangular shape, so that the sides 70 of the side walls 58 in contact with the middle part 4 have a thickness similar to that of the latter. Note that the sides 70 have a curvature substantially complementary to that of the sides of the middle part 4, so as to match the shape of the latter when the connecting member 56 rotates.

Les parois latérales 68 sont reliées par un pont central 72, de sorte que l'organe de liaison 56 ait une forme de H, de manière préférée mais non limitative. Ainsi, l'organe de liaison 56 est séparé en deux zones, la première comprenant des cornes 74 d'attache à la carrure, tandis que la seconde comprend des cornes 76 d'attache au bracelet.The side walls 68 are connected by a central bridge 72, so that the connecting member 56 has a shape of H, preferably but not limited to. Thus, the connecting member 56 is separated into two areas, the first comprising horns 74 attachment to the middle part, while the second comprises horns 76 for attachment to the bracelet.

Les cornes 74 comprennent deux paires de trous borgnes 78 et 80, destinés à loger les extrémités de deux tiges 82 et 84 engagées dans les fentes 62 des parois latérales 60 de l'attache 54, pour permettre à l'organe de liaison 56 de se déplacer par rapport à l'attache 54 selon un axe de rotation virtuel éloigné de l'axe des tiges 82 et 84, puisqu'il se trouve dans la carrure 4.The horns 74 comprise two pairs of blind holes 78 and 80, intended to house the ends of two rods 82 and 84 engaged in the slots 62 of the side walls 60 of the clip 54, to allow the connecting member 56 to move relative to the fastener 54 along an axis of virtual rotation remote from the axis of the rods 82 and 84, since it is in the middle part 4.

II apparaît en détail sur la figure 3 que, de manière conventionnelle, les tiges 82 et 84 comportent chacune un corps central cylindrique 86, des extrémités 88 de diamètre plus fin, écartées l'une de l'autre par un ressort non visible, et pourvues de deux nervures 90.It appears in detail on the figure 3 that, in conventional manner, the rods 82 and 84 each comprise a cylindrical central body 86, ends 88 of finer diameter, spaced apart from each other by a nonvisible spring, and provided with two ribs 90.

Par ailleurs, les cornes 76 présentent une paire de trous borgnes 92, destinés à loger les extrémités d'une troisième tige 94 servant à attacher le bracelet de la montre sur la boîte 1.Moreover, the horns 76 have a pair of blind holes 92, intended to house the ends of a third rod 94 serving to attach the watch strap to the box 1.

Lors de l'assemblage de la boîte 1 et du dispositif d'attache 2, les tiges 82 et 84 sont insérées dans la fente 62 puis dans les deux paires de trous 78 et 80. La lunette 5 est assemblée de façon étanche sur la carrure 4. Le fond 3 est enfin fixé sur la carrure 4, également de manière étanche.When assembling the box 1 and the attachment device 2, the rods 82 and 84 are inserted into the slot 62 and into the two pairs of holes 78 and 80. The bezel 5 is sealingly assembled on the middle part 4. The bottom 3 is finally attached to the middle part 4, also sealingly.

Une fois l'intégralité des pièces assemblées, les tiges 82 et 84 sont complètement dissimulées par la partie supérieure 58 de l'attache 54, et par la patte 15 du fond 3. La montre a une apparence épurée, et ses courbes sont sensiblement continues, de la boîte jusqu'au bracelet.Once the entirety of the parts assembled, the rods 82 and 84 are completely concealed by the upper part 58 of the fastener 54, and by the tab 15 of the bottom 3. The watch has a streamlined appearance, and its curves are substantially continuous , from the box to the bracelet.

En définitive, quelle que soit la taille du poignet de l'utilisateur, la présente invention permet d'améliorer notablement les qualités esthétiques de la montre.Ultimately, regardless of the size of the wrist of the user, the present invention can significantly improve the aesthetic qualities of the watch.

La description qui précède s'attache à décrire un mode de réalisation particulier à titre d'illustration non limitative, et l'invention n'est pas limitée à certaines caractéristiques particulières qui viennent d'être décrites, notamment les formes particulières illustrées et décrites pour la carrure, le fond, la lunette et les cornes. De nombreux autres modes de réalisation pourraient être envisagés sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The foregoing description attempts to describe a particular embodiment by way of non-limiting illustration, and the invention is not limited to certain particular characteristics which have just been described, in particular the particular forms illustrated and described for the middle part, the bottom, the telescope and the horns. Many other embodiments could be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.

Une seule tige pourrait par exemple être employée pour assembler l'organe de liaison et l'attache, en association avec une fente de taille plus petite sur l'attache, de manière à obtenir une amplitude de mouvement identique.A single rod could for example be used to assemble the connecting member and the fastener, in association with a slot of larger size. small on the clip, so as to obtain the same amplitude of movement.
