Bracelet such as a watch strap, and process to assemble it

Abstract

Abstract The bracelet consists of flat elongated elements (1) and of linking elements (6), the flat elements (1) being equipped on their lateral faces with a groove (2) of circular section provided in order to receive, by sliding, a rib (7) of complementary profile provided on the lateral faces of the linking elements (6). The flat elements (1) and the linking elements (6) are fastened together by means of linking members, which may be non-removable (10) or removable (11), inserted in the holes (9) pierced in the assembled elements. These linking elements (10, 11) comprise a spherical portion (12) with a diameter which is approximately equal to that of the cylindrical rib (7), this spherical portion supporting a cylindrical head (13, 15) which is either knurled or threaded. The non-removable linking members (10) are force-fitted into the cylindrical holes (9) whereas the removable linking members (11) are screwed into the previously tapped holes (9). <IMAGE>
