Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanical connection device between a bracelet and a mechanical part, in particular a mechanical part in the field of jewelery or watchmaking and more particularly between a watch bracelet and a component such as a watch case. , clasp or other part of the watch band.
  • watch straps are often fixed to the horns of the case by means of a spring bar. Changing the strap involves detaching the strap from the watch case and therefore acting on the spring bar, which requires special tools that watch users generally do not have.
  • a change of strap therefore presents constraints and costs. This also prevents having a watch associated with several bracelets and changing the bracelet according to the desire of the moment.
  • the watch case comprises two horns between which is placed a pivot of the bracelet.
  • the horns have hollows 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 operating a bolt.
  • the lock When the lock is closed, the pivot is held between the lugs, in the recesses.
  • the lock When the lock is open, the pivot can be separated from the horns by the opening emerging in the lower part of the horn.
  • the locks are actuated by an actuating mechanism which is accessible from the side of the watch. It is not excluded that the locks move from the closed position to the open position while the user is wearing the watch.
  • Such opening of the locks can be done for example following a displacement of the mechanism for actuating the locks, when this mechanism is hooked in particular by a garment.
  • the opening of the locks can occur when the watch is on the user's wrist. This opening can also occur following a bad closure of the lock or for other reasons. In such a case, there is a great risk that the pivot will detach from the watch and that the latter will fall from the user's wrist.
  • EP 2 449 756 A1 discloses a removable watch strap comprising a latch, a pusher and a spring, these elements forming a kind of pawl to retain a watch bar.
  • the bracelet not to be able to separate involuntarily from the watch when the watch is handled without being worn on the wrist of a user.
  • the wristband cannot be incorrectly positioned when it is changed, which would present the risk that the user thinks he has fixed his wristband correctly when in reality it is incorrectly placed.
  • This embodiment has the drawback that the case of the watch must imperatively comprise a bar forming the support zone. This strongly limits the aesthetic aspects that it is possible to give to the watch. Furthermore, when the watch is handled without being worn on the wrist, there is a risk that one of the ends of the bar, or even both ends, come out of the horn involuntarily and that the bracelet is in an undesired position. . In addition, the end of the wristband opposite that comprising the bar must be introduced into the housing defined by the lugs and the support zone. This implies that the width of the elements of the bracelet at this end should be less than the width between the lugs. This makes this system unusable with a bracelet having a conventional buckle or a folding clasp type closure. Indeed, these elements almost always have a width greater than the maximum width of the bracelet.
  • the document WO 2018/127779 describes a device for connecting a bracelet to a clasp in a removable manner, that is to say in such a way that the bracelet can be separated from the clasp in order to change the clasp.
  • the bracelet is fixed in a conventional manner, by means of a spring bar, to a connecting piece arranged between the conventional clasp and the conventional bracelet.
  • This intermediate piece comprises a pin having a flat surface, cooperating with a groove of the clasp.
  • the connecting piece In a first position of the connecting piece relative to the clasp and to the bracelet, the pin cannot be removed from the connecting piece and the bracelet is secured to the clasp.
  • This first position corresponds to the position taken by the various components when the watch is worn by a user.
  • the connecting piece is pivoted relative to the clasp and the bracelet is pivoted relative to the connecting piece. In this second position, the pin can be moved in the connecting part and the bracelet can be removed from the clasp.
  • This mechanism is not suitable for connecting a bracelet to a watch case. It is only intended to be used with a clasp. Due to the presence of an intermediate connecting piece, it could not be placed on a watch case. Thus, this mechanism does not make it possible to replace a watch strap, but only to change the clasp. Furthermore, if the watch is handled without being placed on the wrist of a user, the involuntary separation of the bracelet and the clasp is prevented by an element of this clasp, only when the clasp is closed. In the open position of the clasp, there is a risk of involuntary separation of the bracelet and the clasp.
  • the document FR 2 758 951 describes a watch in which a bracelet can be removed from a watch case without special tools.
  • a bracelet is described comprising a plate fitted with four lugs.
  • the case of the watch has lugs with two hollows each.
  • two lugs are introduced into two L-shaped recesses made in two opposite lugs of the watch case.
  • the other two lugs are introduced into the other two recesses and act as a lock.
  • the operation of the connecting device does not impose a particular aesthetic on the case of the watch, so that this mechanism can be used on watches having aspects chosen by the designer of the watch and not imposed by constraints related to this device.
  • the present invention proposes to produce such a mechanical connecting device, which allows a user to very simply separate the two mechanical parts, without tools and without complex manipulation, and which guarantees at the same time that the mechanical parts do not separate from each other. unintentional or accidental way, in particular when the mechanical parts to be linked are part of a wristwatch and when the wristwatch is worn by a user, but also in the case where the watch is manipulated by a user without the latter wears it on his wrist.
  • a mechanical connection device between a bracelet and a mechanical part, in particular a component of a wristwatch, this bracelet comprising a pivot and a stop, the said mechanical part comprising a retaining member of the said pivot, this member retainer being arranged to hold said pivot on the mechanical part in a first configuration and to release this pivot from the mechanical part in a second configuration;
  • this mechanical connection device being characterized in that it further comprises a bolt movable between a closed position in which it holds said pivot on said mechanical part and an open position in which the pivot can be released from said mechanical part;
  • the lock comprises an elastic constraint element arranged to constrain said lock in its closed position; in that this lock comprises at least one inclined zone arranged so that the application of a force on this inclined zone in one direction generates a displacement of the lock in its open position, in another direction; in that this lock comprises at least one support zone arranged so that the application of a force on this support zone generates a displacement of the lock in its open position; and in that the mechanical part includes a stop
  • the aims of the invention are also achieved by a timepiece comprising a mechanical connection device as described above.
  • the mechanical linking device makes it possible to link, in a simple and effective manner, different mechanical components and in particular different components of a watch.
  • the components which can be linked together 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 each other.
  • this device makes it possible in particular to change the watch strap very easily.
  • the bracelet can also be linked to a clasp which makes it possible to change the clasp or to keep the same clasp while changing the bracelet.
  • the bracelet can of course be linked by one of its ends to a clasp and by its other end to the case of the watch. This can be particularly interesting since the clasp is generally a part having an aesthetic appearance adapted to the aesthetic appearance of the case and can have a significant value. It is then possible to easily change the bracelet while keeping the same clasp.
  • the mechanical connection device is also particularly simple to use and particularly reliable. Indeed, a simple pressure on the bracelet in a determined direction makes it possible to link this bracelet to the mechanical part. No other part should be handled when fitting a new bracelet. Furthermore, the wristband cannot be placed in an intermediate position between a release position and a closed position. Thus, if a user has placed the bracelet incorrectly and the latter is not correctly fixed to the mechanical part, it will not be fixed at all to this mechanical part and the user will notice this immediately. If the bracelet is fixed to the mechanical part, it will necessarily be fixed correctly and securely.
  • the mechanical link device is also particularly safe in the sense that the mechanical parts cannot come apart when the watch is worn by a user, even in the event of sudden movement, friction or poor closure of the system.
  • this mechanical connection device is also interesting because its construction is simple and does not involve a large number of complex parts to be machined or assembled.
  • An advantage of the invention comes in particular from the fact that the bracelet does not include any moving part. It can therefore be made relatively simply, without increasing the manufacturing cost compared to a conventional bracelet.
  • the moving parts or parts which require more complex manufacturing are in principle made on the other component to be linked to the bracelet, in particular on the clasp and/or the case.
  • connection device thus makes it possible to have several bracelets and to choose the bracelet to be used at a given moment, according to one's desire.
  • the mechanical connecting device 10 is intended in particular to connect a strap 11, in particular a wristwatch strap, to a mechanical part 12, in particular a component of a wristwatch.

  • this bracelet is linked at least to the case of the watch by means of the device of the invention.
  • This bracelet can for example be closed in the conventional manner by a pin buckle.
  • the bracelet can also be connected to a clasp, for example of the butterfly type.

  • This shoulder 16 cooperates with a stop member 17 made here in the form of lugs 18 so as to prevent the movement of the bracelet 11 in the direction of the center of the component which is connected to this bracelet.
  • the shoulder 16 bears against the stop member 17, for example the lugs 18, and prevents a greater movement of the bracelet.
  • the stop member 17 could have a shape other than that of horns. It could be formed for example by a shoulder of the case and of the clasp or by a part specially designed for this function of stopping the movement of the bracelet.
