Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0819391A1] The length adjuster consists of a reversible link and a connector (8a-8c) inside the bracelet's fastening clasp. The reversible link has two pivots (5,7) and can be rotated about one of them (5) to occupy two different positions, one to shorten and the other to lengthen the bracelet. The other pivot (7) carries the connector, which is joined to the next link in the bracelet. In the short position the reversible link is turned so that its second pivot (7) lies furthest from the main bracelet link, and its first pivot (5) fits inside a recess (8c) in the connector. In the long position the two pivots and connector lie in an extended line.
