Abstract

The piece comprises articulated links (10) consisting of two crossed elements (11) made integral with each other by means of two grooves (13) made, respectively, in each of them and engaged mutually in each other. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une pièce d'horlogerie, de bijouterie, ou d'orfevrerie, ou une partie d'une telle pièce.The present invention relates to a timepiece, jewelry, or goldsmith, or a part of such a piece.

L'invention est applicable par exemple à un bracelet, notamment un bracelet de montre, un collier, une parure, etc.The invention is applicable for example to a bracelet, in particular a watch bracelet, a necklace, a set, etc.

Cette pièce ou partie de pièce comprend au moins une rangée de maillons articulés et constitués, pour au moins certains d'entre eux, par au moins deux éléments croisés ou entrecroisés.This part or part of a part comprises at least one row of articulated links and formed, for at least some of them, by at least two crossed or intersecting elements.

Elle est caractérisée par le fait que les deux dits éléments sont rendus solidaires l'un de l'autre, en un lieu de croisement au moins, par l'inter­médiaire d'au moins deux rainures ménagées respectivement dans chacun d'entre eux et engagées mutuellement l'une dans l'autre.It is characterized by the fact that the two said elements are made integral with one another, in at least one crossing point, by means of at least two grooves formed respectively in each of them and engaged each other.

Le dessin ci-annexé représente schématiquement et à titre d'exemple deux maillons d'une forme d'exécution constituant un bracelet de montre.

  • La figure 1 est une vue en plan des deux maillons.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en plan des composants d'un maillon du bracelet, avant leur montage.
  • La figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne III-III de la figure 1.
  • La figure 4 est une vue illustrant le montage de deux éléments d'un maillon.
The attached drawing shows schematically and by way of example two links of an embodiment constituting a watch strap.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the two links.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the components of a bracelet link, before mounting.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III-III of Figure 1.
  • Figure 4 is a view illustrating the mounting of two elements of a link.

Le bracelet représenté fragmentairement au dessin est constitué par des maillons 10 comprenant chacun deux éléments 11 et un axe d'assemblage 12. Les éléments 11 de chaque maillon 10 sont identiques et sont formés chacun d'une partie 11 A et d'une partie 11 B s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe du bracelet, la première au voisinage, la seconde à une certaine distance de cet axe, et par une partie intermédiaire 10 C reliant obliquement les deux parties 10 A et 10 B.The bracelet shown fragmentarily in the drawing consists of links 10 each comprising two elements 11 and an assembly axis 12. The elements 11 of each link 10 are identical and are each formed by a part 11 A and a part 11 B extending parallel to the axis of the bracelet, the first in the vicinity, the second at a certain distance from this axis, and by an intermediate part 10 C obliquely connecting the two parts 10 A and 10 B.

Une rainure transversale 13 est ménagée dans une des faces de la partie intermédiaire 11 C.A transverse groove 13 is formed in one of the faces of the intermediate part 11 C.

Les éléments 11 d'un maillon 10 sont croisés et rendus solidaires par enga­gements réciproques de leurs rainures 13.The elements 11 of a link 10 are crossed and made integral by reciprocal engagements of their grooves 13.

Les maillons adjacents sont articulés entre eux par l'entremise des axes 12 engagés dans des trous qui traversent de part en part les parties 11 A des deux éléments croisés 11 et qui pénètrent dans des trous borgnes que présentent les faces intérieures des parties 11 B des deux éléments croi­sés 11 du maillon adjacent.The adjacent links are articulated with one another by means of the axes 12 engaged in holes which pass right through the parts 11 A of the two crossed elements 11 and which penetrate into blind holes which the interior faces of the parts 11 B of the two crossed elements 11 of the adjacent link.

Le montage des maillons successifs s'effectue en chaîne en introduisant d'abord un axe 12 dans les trous alignés des parties 11 A des deux éléments 11 destinés à former un maillon 10, puis en engageant ensuite les extrémités dépassantes de cet axe 12 dans les trous borgnes des parties 11 B des deux éléments 11 du maillon suivant, ces éléments étant positionnés angulairement comme illustré à la figure 4, et enfin en rabattant ces deux derniers éléments dans le plan des éléments précédent en engageant mutuellement leurs rainures 13, puis en répétant ces opérations pour les maillons suivants.The successive links are assembled in a chain by first introducing an axis 12 into the aligned holes of the parts 11 A of the two elements 11 intended to form a link 10, then then engaging the protruding ends of this axis 12 in the blind holes of the parts 11 B of the two elements 11 of the following link, these elements being positioned angularly as illustrated in FIG. 4, and finally by folding down these last two elements in the plane of the preceding elements by mutually engaging their grooves 13, then by repeating these operations for the following links.

Les maillons successifs sont ainsi auto-verrouillés et indémaillables.The successive links are thus self-locked and cannot be broken.

On remarquera que les éléments 11 de chaque maillon 10 et, en fait les éléments 11 de tous les maillons 10 , sont identiques et alternativement disposés, dans chaque maillon 10, avec la rainure 13 une fois dessus, une fois dessous.It will be noted that the elements 11 of each link 10 and, in fact the elements 11 of all the links 10, are identical and alternately arranged, in each link 10, with the groove 13 once above, once below.

L'invention n'est évidemment pas limitée à la forme d'exécution représentée au dessin.The invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawing.

En particulier, le bracelet pourrait comprendre des éléments intercalés entre les éléments croisés.In particular, the bracelet could include elements inserted between the crossed elements.

On pourrait aussi prévoir des éléments entrecroisés, c'est-à-dire se croisant plusieur fois. Dans ce cas, les éléments 11 pourraient être rendus solidaires au niveau de chaque croisement ou au niveau de certains croisements seulement.One could also provide for intertwined elements, that is to say intersecting several times. In this case, the elements 11 could be made integral at each crossing or only at certain crossings.
