JP S4838013 décrit un ensemble d’une boucle pour ceinture comportant une barrette transversale solidaire avec une pièce en T, la barrette transversale comportant à chaque extrémité un pivot agencé pour pénétrer dans un trou de la boucle, Chaque pivot est soumis à l’action d’un ressort permettant de le faire rétracter/ressortir pour le montage/démontage de la boucle. JP S4838013 discloses a set of a belt loop having a transverse bar integral with a T-piece, the transverse bar having at each end a pivot arranged to penetrate into a hole of the loop, each pivot is subjected to the action of a spring for retracting / retracting the assembly / disassembly of the buckle.

Les réalisations citées comportent un certain nombre de désavantages notamment en présentant des dispositifs de fixation qui se montent et démontent facilement sans outils mais qui présentent l'inconvénient de se défaire trop facilement de manière inopinée. The embodiments cited have a number of disadvantages including having fasteners that mount and dismount easily without tools but have the disadvantage of getting rid too easily unexpectedly.

Le but de la présente invention est d'apporter une solution à cet assemblage/ désassemblage d’une boucle et d’une sangle sans outils d’une part et sans pour autant impacter l’aspect esthétique de la boucle d’autre part. Par ailleurs, la présente invention présente l’avantage de supprimer totalement le risque de décrochage de la boucle et de la sangle de manière involontaire. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution to this assembly / disassembly of a loop and a strap without tools on the one hand and without affecting the aesthetic appearance of the other loop. Moreover, the present invention has the advantage of completely eliminating the risk of stalling the buckle and the strap involuntarily.

La présente invention concerne un ensemble d’une boucle pour ceinture, pièce de bijouterie ou d’horlogerie et d’un élément d’attache flexible allongé. La boucle est destinée à coupler de façon détachable une première extrémité de l’élément d’attache allongé à une seconde extrémité de l’élément d’attache. L’élément d’attache comporte à sa première extrémité une ouverture d’attache transversale et vers sa deuxième extrémité au moins un trou d’attache centrale. La boucle est destinée à être rendue solidaire de la première extrémité de l’élément d’attache flexible allongé et définissant un passage pour la seconde extrémité de l’élément d’attache. La boucle comporte en outre un ardillon destiné à coopérer avec la seconde extrémité de l’élément d’attache pour assurer son verrouillage suivant la direction longitudinale de l’élément d’attache flexible allongé. La boucle comporte une barrette transversale comportant à chacune de ses extrémités un pivot agencé pour pénétrer dans un trou de la boucle. La barrette transversale comporte une pièce coulissante soumise à l'action d'un ressort intérieur de la barrette, pour rappeler au moins un pivot vers une position externe dans laquelle il pourra pénétrer dans le trou de la boucle. L’ardillon est agencé pour être déplaçable selon une translation dans une direction parallèle à ladite barrette pour rétracter le pivot de la position externe pour permettre de désolidariser la boucle de la barrette. Dans une forme d’exécution, l’ardillon est agencé dans la première extrémité d’un élément d’attache flexible allongé comportant un trou central dans lequel pénètre l’ardillon permettant un débattement de celui-ci dans une direction parallèle à la barrette. The present invention relates to an assembly of a buckle for a belt, a piece of jewelery or timepiece and an elongated flexible fastening element. The buckle is for detachably coupling a first end of the elongated fastener member to a second end of the fastener member. The attachment member has at its one end a transverse attachment opening and to its second end at least one central attachment hole. The loop is intended to be secured to the first end of the elongate flexible fastener and defining a passage for the second end of the fastener. The buckle further comprises a barb designed to cooperate with the second end of the attachment member for locking in the longitudinal direction of the elongate flexible fastening member. The loop comprises a transverse bar having at each of its ends a pivot arranged to penetrate into a hole of the loop. The transverse bar comprises a sliding member subjected to the action of an inner spring of the bar, to return at least one pivot to an external position in which it can enter the hole of the loop. The barb is arranged to be movable in a translation in a direction parallel to said bar to retract the pivot of the outer position to allow to separate the loop of the bar. In one embodiment, the barb is arranged in the first end of an elongate flexible fastening element having a central hole into which the tongue penetrates allowing a deflection thereof in a direction parallel to the bar.

Selon cette forme d’exécution, le trou a une largeur comprise entre 1 ,2 fois et 2 fois la largeur de l’ardillon. According to this embodiment, the hole has a width of between 1, 2 times and 2 times the width of the barb.

Dans une autre forme d’exécution et pour s’adapter notamment à des utilisateurs gauchers ou droitiers, la barrette transversale comporte deux pièces coulissantes, une de chaque côté de l’ardillon agissant chacune sur un pivot mobile. In another embodiment and to adapt in particular to left-handed or right-handed users, the transverse bar has two sliding parts, one on each side of the barb each acting on a movable pivot.

De préférence, l’élément d’attache comporte à sa première extrémité une partie repliée formant l’ouverture d’attache transversale. Preferably, the attachment member has at its one end a folded portion forming the transverse attachment opening.

La présente invention peut être utilisée pour une pièce d’horlogerie, une pièce de bijouterie ou de maroquinerie voire une ceinture. The present invention can be used for a timepiece, a piece of jewelery or leather goods or even a belt.

La présente invention concerne également un procédé de liaison et de verrouillage d’une boucle et d’un élément d’attache allongé, le procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes: The present invention also relates to a method of connecting and locking a loop and an elongate fastener, the method comprising the steps of:

- on introduit un pivot de la barrette dans une ouverture de la boucle ; a pivot of the bar is introduced into an opening of the loop;

- on translate l’ardillon dans une direction parallèle à la barrette jusqu’à ce que l’autre pivot de la barrette vers lequel l’ardillon se dirige se rétracte en intégralité dans la barrette ; on positionne le pivot rétracté face au second trou de la boucle ; et the tongue is translated in a direction parallel to the bar until the other pivot of the bar towards which the pin is pointing retracts completely into the bar; positioning the retracted pivot facing the second hole of the loop; and

- on relâche l’ardillon de manière à ce que le pivot rétracté se libère et s’enfile dans le trou de la barrette devant lequel il est agencé. - Release the pin so that the retracted pivot is released and inserted into the hole of the bar in which it is arranged.

Les caractéristiques de l’invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description d’une forme d’exécution donnée uniquement à titre d’exemple, nullement limitative en se référant aux figures schématiques, dans lesquelles : The characteristics of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the description of an embodiment given solely by way of example, in no way limiting with reference to the schematic figures, in which:

- La figure 1 représente une vue partielle d’un bracelet de montre et d’une boucle détachée du bracelet ; - La figure 2 représente la boucle de la figure 1 , la boucle étant assemblée au bracelet ; - Figure 1 shows a partial view of a watch strap and a detached buckle of the bracelet; - Figure 2 shows the loop of Figure 1, the loop being assembled to the bracelet;

- La figure 3 représente une vue de face en transparence de partielle de la boucle de la figure 1 et de son bracelet ; et FIG. 3 represents a partially transparent front view of the loop of FIG. 1 and of its bracelet; and

- La figure 4 représente une vue de profil d’un bracelet de montre. Comme illustré à a figure 1 , une pièce d’horlogerie comporte un ensemble d’une boucle 1 et d’un bracelet de montre 4A, 4B. La boucle 1 est destinée à coupler de façon détachable une première extrémité 10 du bracelet de montre 4A, 4B à une seconde extrémité 11 du bracelet de montre 4A, 4B. Le bracelet de montre 4A, 4B comporte à sa première extrémité 10 une ouverture d’attache transversale 13 (figure 4) et vers sa deuxième extrémité 11 plusieurs trous d’attache centrale 12. La boucle- Figure 4 shows a side view of a watch strap. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a timepiece comprises a set of a buckle 1 and a watchband 4A, 4B. The loop 1 is intended to detachably couple a first end 10 of the watch strap 4A, 4B to a second end 11 of the watch strap 4A, 4B. The watch strap 4A, 4B has at its first end 10 a transverse attachment opening 13 (Figure 4) and to its second end 11 several central fastening holes 12. The loop

1 est destinée à être rendue solidaire de la première extrémité 10 du bracelet de montre 4A et définit un passage 2 pour la seconde extrémité 11 du bracelet de montre 4B. La boucle comporte en outre un ardillon 3 destiné à coopérer avec la seconde extrémité 11 du bracelet de montre 4B pour assurer son verrouillage suivant la direction longitudinale du bracelet de montre 4A, 4B. 1 is intended to be secured to the first end 10 of the watch band 4A and defines a passage 2 for the second end 11 of the watch band 4B. The loop further comprises a pin 3 for cooperating with the second end 11 of the watch strap 4B to ensure its locking in the longitudinal direction of the watch band 4A, 4B.

La boucle 1 comporte une barrette transversale 5 comportant à chacune de ses extrémités un pivot 6A, 6B agencé pour pénétrer dans un trou 7 de la boucle. La barrette transversale 5 comporte une pièce coulissante 8 (figure 3) soumise à l'action d'un ressort intérieur de ladite barrette 5, pour rappeler un pivot vers une position externe dans laquelle il pourra pénétrer dans le trou de la boucle. L’ardillon 3 est agencé pour être déplaçable selon une translation dans une direction parallèle à ladite barrette 5 pour rétracter le pivot de la position externe pour permettre de désolidariser la boucle 1 de la barrette 5. The loop 1 comprises a transverse bar 5 having at each of its ends a pivot 6A, 6B arranged to enter a hole 7 of the loop. The transverse bar 5 comprises a sliding piece 8 (FIG. 3) subjected to the action an inner spring of said bar 5, to recall a pivot to an external position in which it can enter the hole of the loop. The pin 3 is arranged to be movable in a translation in a direction parallel to said bar 5 to retract the pivot of the external position to allow to separate the loop 1 of the bar 5.

Comme illustré notamment à la figure 3, l’ardillon 3 est agencé dans la première extrémité 10 d’un bracelet de montre 4A comportant un trou central 9 dans lequel pénètre l’ardillon 3 permettant un débattement de celui-ci dans une direction parallèle à la barrette 5. Dans l’exemple illustré, le trou 9 a une largeur de 1 ,5 fois la largeur de l’ardillon 3. As illustrated in particular in Figure 3, the pin 3 is arranged in the first end 10 of a watch strap 4A having a central hole 9 into which penetrates the pin 3 allowing a movement thereof in a direction parallel to In the example illustrated, the hole 9 has a width of 1.5 times the width of the barb 3.

Comme illustré à la figure 3, il faut translater l’ardillon 3 dans une direction parallèle à la barrette 5 jusqu’à ce que l’autre pivot de la barrette vers lequel l’ardillon se dirige se rétracte en intégralité dans la barrette 5 pour assemble ou désassembler le bracelet de montre de sa boucle. Le fait que le détachement de la boucle de son bracelet se fasse par une translation de l’ardillon rend une ouverture accidentelle impossible. En effet, certaines réalisations de l’état de la technique présentaient l’inconvénient de positionner le dispositif de libération de la boucle à une extrémité de la boucle ce qui augmente le risque de décrochage accidentel. Grâce à la présente invention, l’aspect d’un article peut être grandement modifié par le simple changement d’une boucle sans outils et sans prendre le risque que la boucle se décroche seule. As illustrated in FIG. 3, it is necessary to translate the barb 3 in a direction parallel to the bar 5 until the other pivot of the bar towards which the barb is pointing retracts completely in the bar 5 to assemble or disassemble the watch band from its buckle. The fact that the detachment of the buckle of his bracelet is done by a translation of the barb makes an accidental opening impossible. Indeed, some achievements of the state of the art had the disadvantage of positioning the release device of the loop at one end of the loop which increases the risk of accidental stall. With the present invention, the appearance of an article can be greatly modified by the simple change of a loop without tools and without taking the risk that the loop is unhooked alone.
