Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wrist watch strap.
  • straps in particular for wrist watches, are substantially of two types; those made of metal and those made of leather or the like.
  • straps made of other materials, such as plastic materials or the like.
  • Metal straps are stronger and have a substantially unlimited durability, but due to a matter of fashion, in recent times there has been an increase in the use of leather straps, which are less durable.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a wrist watch strap which has the strength qualities of a metal strap combined with the aesthetic qualities of a leather strap.
  • a consequent primary object of the invention is to provide a strap whose leather decoration can be easily removed and replaced.
  • Another important object of the invention is to provide a product which is alternative with respect to those currently commercially available.
  • Not least object of the invention is to provide a low-cost strap with conventional equipment and facilities.
  • a wrist watch strap which is characterized in that it comprises a set of metallic links arranged in side-by-side mutually associated rows, on which an at least partial covering element is removably coupled by means of anchoring elements.
  • a wrist watch with a strap is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and comprises a watch case 11, to which two portions 12 and 13 of the strap are fixed.
  • Each strap portion 12,13 is composed of a set 14 of metallic links, arranged in side-by-side mutually associated rows, on which a covering element 15 is removably coupled.
  • the coupling element 15 is advantageously made of a decorative material such as leather.
  • the set of links 14 is composed of links arranged in three rows, two thicker lateral rows 16 and 17 and a thinner central row 18.
  • the central row 18 forms, together with the lateral rows 16,17, a longitudinal recess for accommodating the covering element 15.
  • the rows of links are joined together in a known manner by means of a plurality of transverse pins 19.
  • a plurality of seats 20 is thus defined at the axis of symmetry of the thinner central row 18, and each seat expediently has a rectangular configuration with upper edges which protrude inward.
  • Each seat 20 accommodates a substantially cylindrical-shaped tubular head 21 of a clip 22, which is manufactured, e.g., by deforming a metallic lamina.
  • the head 21 is located substantially at the center of said clip 22.
  • the clip 22 also has two lateral wings 23 which protrude outwardly from said head 21 and are embedded in the covering element 15.
  • An end clip 22a has an extended wing 23a which protrudes longitudinally outward from beneath the end of the covering element 15 and has a hole or missing portion 23b formed therein.
  • the covering element 15 is formed by a plurality of layers, which are joined by glueing and/or by stitches, and by an inner layer 24 provided with holes for the passage of the heads 21.
  • the lateral wings 23 are embedded between said layers.
  • Said inner layer 24 has the same width as the overlying layers and is accommodated in the seat defined between the lateral rows 16 and 17, on top of the thinner central row 18.
  • the cylindrical-shaped tubular heads 21 have rounded corners and enter the seats 20 by elastic deformation.
  • the free ends of the element 15 are fixed at one end to the strap portion 12,13 by means of a metallic plate 25 and a screw 26.
  • the plate in fact has a tab 25a to be inserted into the hole 23b and in a corresponding hole 27 of the set of links 14, and the tab 25a has a threaded hole for the screw 26 (see figure 2).
  • the other remaining terminal portion may be automatically fixed to the case 11 of the watch during strap assembly, for example, by conventional releasable fixing means which are disengageable in order to permit replacement of the covering element 15.
  • the free end of the element 15 may be fixed to the row 18 by a clip 22, located adjacent the case 11, as described heretofore.
  • a strap having been provided whose structure is composed of a metallic part and of a decorative part, made of leather or the like, which can be conveniently replaced simply and rapidly.
  • the assembly is advantageous from an aesthetic point of view and, from the technical point of view, it combines the strength characteristics of metal straps with the aesthetic characteristics of leather straps.
  • the materials employed may be any according to the requirements.
