Abstract (en)

A self-locking expansion device which connects a watchcase (1) to two ends of a strap or bracelet (2), comprises a first and a second deployable elements (3,4), each having one end pivotally connected, to an end of the strap or the bracelet (2), and another end pivotally connected directly or indirectly to the watchcase (1) between a locked position and an unlocked position. Said deployable elements (3,4) are so shaped that in the locked position they are confined under the back of the watchcase (1), or lie either against the circumference of the watchcase (1), or over the front of the watchcase (1). The deployable elements (3,4) are movable between the locked and the unlocked position by turning the watchcase (1) while the ends of the strap or bracelet (2) move together or apart.
