Abstract: The device for fastening a strap strand to a watch middle includes a connecting element (11) for connection to a strap strand (10) or a watch middle (20), at least one pin (1), a receiving element (21), connected to the other of the watch middle (20) or the strap strand (10), and at least one insert element (2). The device is designed to occupy at least two configurations: a first configuration, in which the at least one pin (1) is free to translate within a recess (11a) of the connecting element (11), to be able to occupy a position projecting from the connecting element (11) and a position set back into the recess (11a); and a second configuration, in which the at least one insert element (2) cooperates with the at least one pin (2), to hold it in its position projecting from the connecting element (1).

Abstract: Device for articulation of two timepiece components (10, 20) including first and second timepiece components connected to one another in an articulated manner using at least one articulation pin (1), wherein the two timepiece components each include first and second guide surfaces that cooperate with first and second articulation surfaces (1a, 1e) respectively of at least one articulation portion of the at least one articulation pin (1), the guide surfaces and the respective articulation surfaces being positioned face-to-face to guide by rubbing the movement in rotation of the respective timepiece components (10, 20) relative to the at least one articulation pin (1), the at least one articulation portion of the articulation pin (1) or the at least one articulation pin (1) being made entirely of ceramic, the at least one articulation pin (1) including at least one portion of lower strength positioned out of reach of the guide surfaces of the respective timepiece components, and the at least one articulation po

Abstract: The device for fixing a wristband to a watch middle includes a connecting element (11) for connection to a wristband (10) or a watch middle (20), at least one pin (1) able to occupy two positions, one projecting from the connecting element (11) and another retracted into a housing (11a) of the connecting element (11), and a receiving element (21) for connection to a watch middle (20) or a wristband (10), having at least one bore (21a).

Abstract: A wheel unit for a system for transmitting data from the wheel unit to a receiver of a vehicle. The wheel unit is configured for mounting to a wheel of the vehicle, and the wheel unit includes the following: a memory for storing wheel type data related to the type of the wheel at which the wheel unit is mounted; a processor for processing the wheel type data stored in the memory; a transmitter for RF-transmitting data telegrams to a vehicle-mounted receiver. The processor determines an RF power value based on the stored wheel type data, and the transmitter transmits the data telegrams with an RF power based on the determined RF power value.

Abstract: An elastic assembly joined to at least one side face of one of the members to be assembled is engaged by elastic deformation with a ratchet fastening element fixedly connected to the other member to be assembled. These elastic assemblies are constituted by an elongated element. The assembly side face to which it is joined has an elongated receptacle for the reception thereof, this forming in the assembly side face a opening through which a side portion of its wall projects to lie within the trajectory of the ratchet fastening element so as to allow coupling of this ratchet fastening element, at least one of the faces of the latter being configured to hold the elongated element under elastic strain and being orientated to resolve the force exerted upon it into a component which tends to hold the assembled members in place.
