Definitions

the present invention relates to a removable mechanical connection device between a bracelet and a mechanical part, in particular a component of a wristwatch, this component comprising at least one pair of lugs, the bracelet comprising at least one pivot configured to cooperate with the horns of said pair of horns.
the watch case has two horns between which is placed a pivot of the bracelet.
the horns have recesses opening into the lower part of the horn, so as to allow the pivot of the horns to be released. These recesses can be closed or opened by actuating a lock. When the lock is closed, the pivot is held between the horns, in the recesses. When the locks are open, the pivot can be separated from the horns by the opening opening into the lower part of the horn.
the locks are actuated by an actuating mechanism which is movable in a longitudinal direction, that is to say a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bracelet, this actuating mechanism being moreover accessible from the side. of the watch.
the locks move from the closed position to the open position while the user is wearing the watch.
Such opening of the locks can take place, for example, following a displacement of the mechanism for actuating the locks, when this mechanism is hooked in particular by a suit. Opening of the locks can occur when the watch is on the user's wrist. This opening can also occur following improper closing of the lock or for other reasons. In such a case, there is a great risk that the pivot will become detached from the watch and that the latter will fall from the wrist of the user.
the present invention proposes to provide such a mechanical connection device, which allows a user to very simply separate the two mechanical parts, without tools and without complex handling, and which at the same time guarantees that the mechanical parts do not separate from each other. involuntarily or accidental, in particular when the mechanical parts to be linked are part of a wristwatch and when the wristwatch is worn by a user.
the object of the invention is also achieved by a timepiece comprising a mechanical connection device as described above.
the mechanical linkage device makes it possible to link in a simple and efficient manner, various mechanical components and in particular various components of a watch.
the components which can be interconnected are in particular a bracelet with a watch case, a bracelet with a clasp or links of a bracelet.
This mechanical connection device can be opened easily, without tools and without special know-how, so as to separate the mechanical parts from one another. This makes it possible in particular to change the watch strap very easily.
the mechanical linkage device is also safe in that the mechanical parts cannot become detached when the watch is worn by a user, even in the event of sudden movement or friction.
this mechanical connection device is also advantageous owing to the fact that its construction is relatively simple.
the connecting piece of the bracelet is a very simple piece, generally produced in the form of a simple turned axis.
the bracelet can therefore be produced relatively simply, without increasing the cost of manufacture compared to a conventional bracelet.
the moving parts or those which require a more complex manufacture are in principle carried out on the other component to be linked to the bracelet, in particular on the clasp or the case.
the invention can also be used with a conventional bracelet comprising a spring bar.
connection device thus makes it possible to have several bracelets and to choose the bracelet to use at a given time, according to his desire.
the mechanical connection device 10 is intended in particular to link a bracelet 11, in particular a wristwatch bracelet, to a mechanical part 12, in particular a component of a wristwatch.
This component can be for example a watch case, a clasp or another part of the bracelet.
the mechanical part 12 linked to the bracelet 11 is a clasp.
the connecting device 10 is however the same if it is another component.
the bracelet 11 is integral with a pivot 13.
This pivot can form an integral part of the bracelet or be placed, for example, in a loop arranged near the end of this bracelet.
the pivot is generally cylindrical and may include two lugs 14 used for holding the bracelet in the connecting device.
the mechanical connection device 10 essentially comprises at least one pair of horns, arranged to cooperate with the pivot 13 or the pins 14 of the pivot if the latter comprises pins. At least one of the horns 15 of the pair of horns is movable in a transverse direction, this transverse direction being aligned with a longitudinal axis of the pivot of the bracelet.
the other horn of the pair of horns can be a 16 fixed horn.
the invention is described here as having a single pair of horns and among the horns forming this pair of horns, only one is movable, the other being fixed.
the device of the invention could be used for example on a watch case, in which case, it could be advantageous for the case to have two pairs of horns, each pair of horns cooperating with a different pivot of the bracelet.
each pair of horns preferably has at least one movable horn.
the two horns of a pair are movable, which would allow easy handling of the device for people wearing the watch on the left wrist or on the right wrist, as well as for right-handed and left-handed people.
the functions of the device are however accessible if only one of the horns is movable.
the element to which the bracelet is attached is described as being a horn.
Other embodiments of the strap fixing element could be used, provided that this fixing element is able to receive the pivot of the bracelet or more generally, that it is able to maintain and release the bracelet. Since the different embodiments have the same functions as the horns, the term using horn in the text should be understood to cover these different embodiments.
the figures 1 to 4 show a clasp 17 comprising a connecting device 10 according to the invention.
This connecting device essentially comprises a stirrup 18 having a fixed horn 16, integral with this stirrup, and a movable horn 15.
the stirrup 18 comprises a chamber 19 in which are disposed the movable horn 15, a guide screw 20 and a compression spring 21.
the movable horn 15 comprises a housing 22 and an end wall 23 provided with a through hole.
Guide screw 20 comprises a screw head 24 having a rear face positioned generally flush with the yoke 18 and an anterior face disposed towards the inside of the housing 22 of the movable horn 15.
the guide screw 20 as a whole is also placed in part. in the housing 22 of the mobile horn, passes through the through hole made in the end wall 23 and is fixed in the bracket 18.
a space is defined between the guide screw 20 and the housing 22 of the movable horn.
the compression spring 21 is arranged in this space, around the guide screw 20 and in the housing 22 of the movable horn. This compression spring 21 bears on the one hand on the end wall 23 of the movable horn and on the other hand on a front face of the head 24 of the guide screw.
the characteristics of the compression spring 21, of the movable horn 15 and of the guide screw 20 are such that, in the absence of force applied by a user on the movable horn 15, the compression spring 21 pushes this movable horn to the interior of the chamber 19 of the caliper.
the lugs 15, 16 are separated by a distance such that the pivot 13 of the bracelet can be placed between the lugs, this pivot being held in position by the lugs 14 of the pivot, these lugs being placed in holes 25 horns. This position of the horns is called the holding position.
this movable horn moves transversely, so as to increase the distance between the two horns 15, 16 of the same pair .
the amplitude of the displacement of the movable horn 15 is such that the pivot 13 can be withdrawn from the horns, which makes it possible to separate the bracelet 11 from the stirrup 18. This position of the horns is called the release position.
both the bracelet and the part on which this bracelet is mounted do not undergo changes in their aesthetic appearance.
the closing of the movable horn 15 is very secure. Indeed, the opening movement is a transverse movement and not a longitudinal movement.
the watch is worn by a user, there is little chance that the movable horn will get caught anywhere and undergo transverse movement.
the bracelet therefore has very little risk of coming loose.
a movable horn, a screw and a spring are enough to achieve the desired goal. The manufacture of these parts is relatively uncomplicated, while ensuring easy and reliable placement and removal of the bracelet.
the devices 5 to 11 illustrate a second embodiment of the removable mechanical connection device 10 according to the invention.
This embodiment is in particular intended to be used on a folding clasp.
the device of the invention comprises a stirrup 118 provided with two horns, namely a fixed horn 116 and a mobile horn 115.
the mobile horn 115 can be placed in a holding position, in wherein the distance between the movable horn 115 and the fixed horn 116 is such that a pivot 13 of the bracelet can be firmly held by the two horns, and a release position in which the pivot 13 of the bracelet can be released from the horns.
the movable horn 115 is placed in the holding position.
the caliper 118 has a through hole in which is housed a rod 131 integral with the movable horn 115.
This through rod 131 comprises a head 124 similar to the screw head 24 of the first embodiment.
This screw head 124 is housed in a housing 122 made in the fixed horn 116.
This housing 122 has a bottom wall 123 into which opens the through hole 130 of the caliper.
a compression spring 121 is disposed around the rod 131, in the housing 122 of the movable horn 115 and bears on the one hand against the screw head 124 and on the other hand against the bottom wall 123 of the housing.
This compression spring 121 has the effect of pressing the screw head 124 in a direction opposite to the movable horn 115.
the screw head 124 being integral with the rod 131 and the movable horn 115, the compression spring 121 has for effect of bringing the movable horn 115 into the holding position.
the rod 131 has an external thread 132 in the part which is linked to the movable horn 115.
Other embodiments could also be used, such as for example an internal thread of a part of the rod.
the movable horn 115 comprises a pin 133 cooperating with a blind hole 134 produced in the caliper 118.
This pin 133 can slide in the blind hole 134, but in principle always remains in this blind hole, whatever the position of the horn.
This pin 133 is provided to guide the movable horn 115 and to prevent it from pivoting around the rod 131.
This pin 133 can for example be screwed into the movable horn, be driven therein or be made of a single piece with movable horn.
the rod 131 is shown as having a circular section. Therefore, it is useful to provide a pin 133 to prevent the rotation of the mobile horn 115 around the rod. It is also possible to provide a rod having a non-circular cross section at least over a part of the length of the rod. In such a case, the movable horn cannot in principle rotate around the rod and the pin is then no longer essential.
This embodiment has the same advantages as the previous embodiment, namely that, due to the transverse movement of the movable horn, the holding of the bracelet is very secure and the risk of the bracelet inadvertently coming off is very low.
the number of parts is very limited and these parts are relatively simple to produce.
the aesthetic appearance of the watch is not changed and the strap change is greatly simplified.
the figures 12 to 23 illustrate a third embodiment of the invention similar to the second embodiment illustrated by the figures 5 to 11 .
an additional locking mechanism 200 is provided.
the device 10 of the invention also comprises a fixed horn 116 and a mobile horn 115.
the mobile horn 115 is integral with a rod 231, arranged in a through hole 230 of the caliper 218, this rod 231 terminating in a screw 220 having a screw head 224 arranged in a housing 222 of the fixed horn 116.
a compression spring 221 bears on the one hand on the screw head 224 of the rod and on the other hand, on a bottom wall 223 of the housing of the fixed horn.
the rod 231 comprises a profiled zone 240, having a non-circular cross section.
the function of this profiled zone is the same as the function of the pin 133 of the second embodiment, namely to prevent the movable horn 115 from pivoting around the rod 231.
the profiled zone 240 is able to slide in a recess 241 of the caliper, this recess having a cross section complementary to the cross section of the profiled zone 240 of the rod and a length or a depth such that at least part of the profiled zone 240 always remains in the recess 241 of the stirrup regardless of the position of the movable horn 115.
the rod 231 also comprises a locking zone 242, produced in the embodiment described, in the form of a zone of reduced diameter. This locking zone 242 cooperates with the locking mechanism 200 to prevent movement of the movable horn, as explained in detail below.
the locking mechanism 200 comprises a latch 243 mounted in a slide of the yoke 218.
This latch 243 comprises a push button 244 intended to allow the actuation of the latch, a return spring 245 intended to return the latch to a position. locking, and a groove 246 intended to block the movement of the rod 231.
the latch 243 In the locked position, the latch 243 is positioned such that the locking zone 242 of the rod 231 is placed in the groove 246 of the latch.
the dimension of this groove 246 is such that the locking zone 242 can be placed in the groove, with a relatively small lateral play, and in such a way that the groove 246 does not allow the passage of the rod 231 outside the zone.
the latch 243 is mounted in the yoke 218, in the slide, so as to be forced by the return spring 245 in a locked position, that is to say in a position in which the zone of lock 242 of the rod is placed in the groove 246 of the lock. In this position, due to the respective dimensions of the groove 246 of the lock and the diameters of the rod 231, the displacement of the movable horn 115 is not possible.
Other embodiments of the locking zone and of the lock are of course possible.
the movable horn 115 can be moved away from the fixed horn 116; the lug 14 of the bracelet 11 can be removed from the corresponding horns and the bracelet can be removed. A new bracelet can be put back in place.
the compression spring 221 acting on the rod 231 of the movable horn pushes the movable horn 115 into the holding position. This has the effect of positioning the locking zone 242 opposite the groove 246 of the lock.
the return spring 245 of the locking mechanism 200 presses the latch 243 such that the groove 246 of this latch engages around the locking zone of the rod, the locking mechanism 200 thus preventing the unexpected displacement of the horn. mobile 115.
the movement of the movable horn is similar to that of the second embodiment. It also has all the advantages mentioned earlier.
This embodiment also has a locking mechanism which on the one hand is simple to produce and on the other hand, which prevents any involuntary opening of the mobile horn and any involuntary detachment of the bracelet.
This locking mechanism can be produced so as to remain very discreet and therefore not to change the appearance of the watch. It can of course also be produced in the form of a decorative element bringing a new aesthetic to the watch.
the component linked to the bracelet by means of the device of the invention can in particular be a watch case, a clasp or a bracelet element.
a bracelet link which can be removed or added easily, so as to adapt the length of the bracelet to the needs of the wearer of the watch. It is also possible to combine the various embodiments described.
