Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0797132A1] A bar (1) which receives the end of a watch bracelet is fixed to a watch case horn at one end through an intermediate member (14) which pivots about an axis (3) such as a screw. The other end of the bar (1) has an internal housing which contains a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism consists of a helical spring which is in contact with two solidly connected cylinders (15,5). The smaller cylinder (5) normally external to the bar is retracted by a sloping surface (7) before again advancing to enter a hole (4) in the watch case horn and lock the bracelet. Release is effected by a button (9,10).
