Bracelet closure system

Abstract

The present invention relates to a bracelet. The bracelet includes two strands (1, 2) provided with a fastening system which includes at least one longitudinal groove (4) on one of the two strands andat least one longitudinal protuberance (5) on the other strand. The material and the shape of the groove and of the protuberance are configured such that these two elements interlock under pressure exerted by the bracelet user, over two overlapping portions of the bracelet strands (1, 2). The connection between the strands (1, 2) can easily be separated, preferably by peeling the upper strand (2)away from the lower strand (1). The bracelet is continuously adjustable in length, without requiring heavy or complex elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chain fastening system, in particular for flexible chains made of synthetic material, for example for watch straps or jewelry chains. Background technique [0002] Watch straps or chains provided with buckles or deployment clasps have long been known. These systems are very prone to wear, especially those made of synthetic materials, which are relatively thick and therefore uncomfortable, and have the additional disadvantage that the chain lengths are distributed in discrete ways, i.e. at discrete positions adjustable, which means that its length cannot be adjusted properly to the diameter of the wearer's wrist. Alternatives have been proposed, such as chains with magnetic or snap-on fasteners, which allow for more flexible adjustment, but are often heavy and difficult to use, and / or require complex and expensive manufacturing methods. Furthermore, the buckles and deployable clasps have a considerable thickness, which in so...

These systems are very prone to wear, especially those made of synthetic materials, which are relatively thick and therefore uncomfortable, and have the additional disadvantage that the chain lengths are distributed in discrete ways, i.e. at discrete positions adjustable, meaning that its length cannot be adjusted properly to the diameter of the wearer's wrist

Alternatives have been proposed, such as chains with magnetic or snap-on fasteners, which allow for more flexible adjustments, but are often heavy and difficult to work with, and / or require complex and expensive manufacturing methods

Furthermore, the buckles and deployable clasps have a considerable thickness, which in some cases may be greater than the thickness of the watch they are mounted on, detracting from the aesthetic appearance and possibly comfort of the watch
