Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2742638A1] Device for attaching the extremity of a link (14), particularly a bracelet, to an object, particularly a watch, comprising a case (1, 16, 31) equipped with two pins (3, 18, 33) designed to be inserted in the opposing housings of the object. At least one of the pins is capable of adapting two positions, one in which it protrudes outside the case for insertion in one of the housings of the object's installation slot, the other, in which it remains retracted. A mobile control mechanism (10, 20, 35), rotating or clasping, attached to a cam (10b, 20a, 35b) in contact with the internal extremity (3a, 18b, 34) of one of the pins (3, 18, 33) and held to the cam (10b, 20a, 35b) by an elastic mechanism (4, 19, 32) can be activated to bring the pin (3, 18, 33) into the retracted position against the pressure exerted by the elastic mechanism (4, 19, 32).
