Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a bracelet clasp with a folding clasp comprising a central part at the ends of which are articulated two arms at the other ends of which the strands of the bracelet are attached, these arms coming to fold down and to be fixed on the central part in position.
  • closed clasp in which the central part consists of two parts capable of being displaced longitudinally one inside the other, fixing means being provided for fixing the two parts together in the desired relative position.
  • a clasp with a folding clasp, with two articulated arms is described in patent CH-A-596,793.
  • the two articulated arms are fixed to the notch by their ends to a part provided in the center of the central part.
  • Another similar embodiment is described in patent CH-A-471,556.
  • the clasps of this type have the advantage of being well centered on the bracelet giving the bracelet, in particular to watch straps, a harmonious and balanced appearance.
  • these clasps have the drawback of not being adjustable, since the ends of the two articulated arms must meet in the middle of the central part, on the one hand for their attachment and on the other hand for aesthetic reasons, in particular for hide the central part of the clasp.
  • a folding clasp with a single articulated arm in which the lower part consists of two parts capable of being moved and fixed longitudinally, one relative to the 'other to change the length of the bracelet.
  • the articulated arm carries at its end a plate intended to mask the connection of the ends of the bracelet to the clasp in all the closed positions of the clasp. This plate is not centered on the clasp and its position varies according to the length of the clasp. It also has no means of attachment to the lower part of the clasp,
  • Document DE-U-7,117,128 finally describes a folding clasp provided with two articulated arms, in which these arms are articulated on plates sliding on the central part, so as to allow an elongation of the clasp in the open position.
  • the length of this clasp in the closed position is however not adjustable, the two arms coming to be fixed in a single and precise position between two cheeks of the central part.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a clasp of the aforementioned type, with two articulated, symmetrical arms, presenting possibilities for adjusting its length for its adaptation to the wrist of the wearer.
  • the bracelet clasp according to the invention is characterized in that at least one of the articulated arms has lateral cheeks by which this arm is fixed to the notches on the sides of the widest part of the central part in the closed position, a cover plate being provided at the end attached to the bracelet of one of the articulated arms to cover the ends of the arms attached to the bracelet and, if necessary, the space separating these ends, in closed position.
  • the lateral fixing of the articulated arms on the central part makes it possible to fix them at any point in the widest part of the central part.
  • the use of a cover plate solves the problem of the space forming between the ends of the articulated arms.
  • This cover plate can also carry various decorations, for example that of a loop, which makes it possible to give the most diverse aspects to the clasp.
  • the clasp shown comprises an arcuate central part 1 at each of the ends 2 and 3 of which are articulated two arms 4 and 5 which are folded over the central part 1.
  • the ends 6 and 7 of the arms 4 and 5 are fixed respectively the ends of the strands 8 and 8a of a bracelet, for example a leather bracelet.
  • the central part 1 consists of a plate 9 having a U-shaped profile between the wings 9a and 9b from which is engaged a plate 10 having the same curvature as the plate 9 and provided with three rows 11, 12 and 19 of tapped holes in which are screwed three screws 14,15, and 16 embedded in the plate 9 and retained by this their head in this plate.
  • Three screws are provided to ensure good rigidity of the fixing, but in principle a single screw would suffice. It is thus possible to adapt the length of the bracelet to the wrist of the wearer by screwing the screws 14, 15 and 16 into the appropriate holes of the rows 11, 12 and 13, this without breaking the symmetry of the bracelet, that is to say tell the centered position of the clasp on the bracelet.
  • the two arms 4 and 5 are fixed to the central part 1 in the closed position by clipping, by two pairs of cheeks 17 and 18, respectively 19 and 20 which elastically pinch the wings 9a and 9b of the part 9.
  • the ends of these arms are at a variable distance depending on the relative position of the parts 9 and 10.
  • the problem posed by this variable distance has been resolved at by means of a cover plate 21 provided with two cheeks 22 and 23 which are fixed to the notch, by a slight notching, following the ends of the axis 7 of the fixing of the bracelet strand 8 to the clasp, thus ensuring a retention additional and good application of the cover plate 21 on the bracelet.
  • the plate 21 is particularly suitable for receiving a decoration, in particular an element having the same appearance as the bracelet and giving the plate 21 the appearance of a light loop.
  • the bracelet can be fixed to the clasp by any known means such as a screw pin, a spring bar, etc.
  • the two joints of the clasp are hinged.
  • the relative positioning of the parts 9 and 10 of the clasp is not achieved by means of screws, but by means of notches on the one hand inside the wings 9a and 9b and on the other hand on the sides of the plate 10.
  • the displacement from one notch to the other is done by force, an additional elasticity can be given to the part 10 by a longitudinal elasticity slot.
  • Another solution would be to provide notches only in the wings 9a and 9b and to mount a small rotary eccentric in the part 10, this eccentric being provided with teeth which come to engage in the notches of the paitie 9.
  • This part 9 could be of tubular or split tubular shape, the wings 9a and 9b having a perpendicular bend directed towards the interior of the clasp.
  • a second embodiment is shown in Figures 4 to 6.
  • the elements taken up without modification of the first embodiment are designated by the same references.
  • the central part consists of a first part 24 having two parallel rectangular arms 25 and 26, slightly curved according to the curvature of the bracelet, and whose inner sides, facing one another, are shaped into slides 27 to 28, the bottom of these slides being provided with teeth or notches of triangular profile.
  • the other part 29 has a single central bias 30 provided on each side with a toothing 31, respectively 92, with teeth of triangular profile.
  • This part 90 is engaged in the slides 27 and 28, so that the teeth of the teeth 31 and 32 are engaged in the teeth or notches of these slides.
  • the teeth of the teeth 91 and 92 can however pass over the teeth of the slides 27 and 28 by elastically spreading the arms 25 and 26, when a sufficient traction or thrust is exerted on the part 29, by retaining the part 24.
  • bias 5 fitted with its cheeks 19 and 20, is articulated in part 24, while an arm 39 is articulated on the one hand in part 29 and on the other side pays to the cover plate 21.
  • This bias 99 has two longitudinal central ribs 94 and 35, the ends of which have a small heel, directed outwards.
  • the part 29 has a longitudinal central cutout 36 whose width is slightly less than the maximum total width of the assembly of the two ribs 34 and 35.
  • the arm 5 When the clasp is closed, the arm 5 is first folded down on the part 24.
  • the cheeks 19 and 20 then have not only the function of fixing the arm 5 on the notch on the part 24, but of preventing the separation arms 25 and 26, that is to say to prevent movement of the arm 90 relative to the arms 25 and 26.
  • the arm 99 is then folded back over the part 29.
  • the ribs 94 and 95 are forcibly engaged, by bending slightly, in the cutout 36 to fix it to the notch.
  • the cover plate 21 As for the cover plate 21 it is again fixed by its cheeks 22 and 23 on the hinge pin 7.
