  • the housing is intended to receive a strap fixing bar extending between the inner faces of the lugs of a watch case.
  • the housing is equipped with a flap that can be moved between a locked position in which it closes the transverse opening of the housing and thus ensures that the bar is held in the housing and thereby fastens the bracelet strand to the box and a position unlocked in which the flap is released from the transverse opening and which allows the wearer of the watch to release the bar from the housing and thus separate the strap strand from the box.
  • the shutter is locked using tabs bent at 90 ° integral with the shutter and which ensure the locking by friction on a rigid edge of the housing.
  • the frictional forces involved are relatively low taking into account their small width and the small thickness of the edge against which they bear.
  • these tabs are liable to deform plastically and therefore no longer ensure reliable locking or even in the most unfavorable case. likely to break and possibly lead to a fall or loss of the watch.
  • this system has three folded sheet metal parts which are quite complex, which makes the system difficult and expensive to produce.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a device for fixing bracelet strands on a watch case making it possible to mount and remove said bracelet strands on the case without tools.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a wristwatch in which the bracelet strands are provided with a device allowing the manual locking and unlocking of the connection between the bars of the watch case and the strands of the watch bracelet. , said system being simple and easy to produce, while ensuring a secure locking.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an insert which can be integrated into a bracelet strand, said insert making it possible to mount and remove the bracelet strand on a bar of a watch case without tools.
  • the invention relates to an insert for a part of a watch strap, the insert being intended to be fixed to the end of the strand.
  • the insert comprises a rigid body provided with a planar portion and a curved portion defining a housing for a bar of the watch case.
  • the housing extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet strand and is provided with a transverse opening.
  • the curved portion is extended by a flat portion.
  • the insert further comprises a lock, preferably plastic, which is articulated with respect to two arms integral with the flat portion of the rigid element to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet strand.
  • the lock comprises a closure wall, at least one portion of which is formed by the wall of at least one elastic tongue.
  • the latch can pivot between two positions, a first so-called locking position in which the closure wall closes the housing, the edge of the hook-shaped portion entering a notch provided in the wall of the tongue. In a second so-called unlocking position, the edge of the hook-shaped portion is released from the notch provided in the wall of the tongue and the lock is free to pivot about its axis and thereby release the transverse opening. housing.
  • the insert according to the invention comprises two main components, in particular the rigid element and the lock, the first of which is essentially a rigid plate extended by a curved portion and comprising two arms rising up on the flat portion of the plate.
  • the manufacture of this part of metal or other rigid material is simple and inexpensive.
  • the other component (the lock) is easily produced from plastic material, also at a limited cost.
  • the locking by interlocking elements ensures that the connection between the watch case and the bracelet made by an insert according to the invention is ensured in all circumstances.
  • the insert shown in figures 1 and 2 firstly comprises a body 2 made of rigid material which comprises a flat portion 3 extended by an end portion in the form of a hook 4 which defines a housing 5 intended to receive a bar of a watch case (not shown).
  • the housing 5 extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet strand and is provided with a transverse opening 5a.
  • the body 2 is preferably a plate, one end of which is curved so as to form the housing.
  • the plate is made of metal.
  • the flat portion 3 comprises notches 6 and an opening 7 which allow the insert 1 to be attached to one of the strands of a watch strap.
  • the notches 6 and the opening 7 are only examples of means for attaching the insert.
  • the precise shape of said means may depend on the shape and material of the strands.
  • the insert can be overmolded by a synthetic material from which the bracelet strand is formed.
  • the insert can be inserted and glued between two layers of a material from which the strand is formed.
  • insert 1 of the figure 1 is suitable for being inserted into a leather strand 10.
  • the means for attaching the insert can nevertheless easily be adapted to other types and materials (ceramic, rubber, metal, etc.) of strands.
  • the latch 12 is a part made, preferably, of injected plastic and, for example, of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). It is mounted pivoting about an axis 13 provided with two journals 14 inserted in the eyelets of the arms 11 defining a yoke. Preferably, at least one of the journals 14 is biased towards the outside by a spring arranged inside the axle 13 in the manner of a conventional spring bar, so as to be able to easily mount and remove the axle. between the arms 11.
  • ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
  • the lock 12 comprises a rear part 18 pierced with a longitudinal hole 19 to receive the pin 13 and the length of which corresponds to the space between the arms 11.
  • the lock does not include a hole to receive a pin 13, but this latch is itself provided with journals or the like which allow the latch to be rotatably mounted between the arms 11.
  • journals 14 inserted in eyelets other known pivot mechanisms can be used to produce the articulation of the latch. relative to the arms 11.
  • the lock 12 further comprises a closure wall 15 having a curved face and extending along the longitudinal direction of the housing 5, so as to produce a closed housing of substantially circular section when the lock 12 is closed.
  • the lock comprises a locking tab 16 capable of being elastically deformed.
  • the tongue is formed in the middle part of the closure wall 15 and on a portion of the latter.
  • the front wall 21 of the tongue 16 therefore forms in this example part of said closure wall 15.
  • the tongue may extend over the entire length of the closure wall.
  • the tongue 16 is intended to cooperate with the edge 17 of a corresponding central section of the hook-shaped portion 4 of the rigid body 2 by means of a longitudinal notch 22 provided in the upper part of the tongue.
  • the operation of the lock 12 is illustrated.
  • the bar 20 of a watch case is inserted into the housing formed by the hook-shaped end 4 of the rigid body 2.
  • the latch 12 is tilted towards its closed or locking position ( fig. 4b ).
  • the front wall 21 of the tongue 16 is curved so as to form a circular section housing for the bar 20 when the tab is closed.
  • a longitudinal notch 22 is provided in the upper part of said wall 21, a longitudinal notch 22 is provided.
  • the dimensions of the latch 12 are such that by tilting the latch, the front wall 21 comes into contact with the edge 17. Due to the curved shape of the wall 21, the tongue 16 is held rearward by the edge 17.
  • the elasticity of the tab 16 allows the wall 21 to flex rearward and then to return elastically towards the edge 17 so that the latter enters notch 22 ( fig. 4c ) and locks the lock in the locked position.
  • the user will push the tab 16 back until the edge 17 is released from the notch 22, and then swing the latch 12 to its open position.
  • the upper surface of the tongue 16 is textured, for example with grooves 23, to increase friction with the user's finger.
  • the part of the edge 17 of the hook-shaped portion 4 which fits into the notch 22 is preferably pointed, thereby having a shape which corresponds to the internal shape of the notch 22. Other shapes notches and corresponding edges can nevertheless be envisaged.
