The present invention relates to an adjustable link (10) for a bracelet, comprising a first and a second link element (20, 50). The first and second link element are interconnected by a telescopic adjustment mechanism so as to be able to move in translation with respect to one another and to take up at least two separate indexed positions. The mechanism comprises an actuator (28) that is accessible from the outside of the adjustable link (10), a lock (30) rigidly attached to the actuator and arranged in a cavity (26) of one of the first and second link elements (20, 50), and an indexing member (58) that is arranged to cooperate with the lock (30) and that is rigidly attached to the other of the first and second link elements (20, 50) while extending in the direction of the translational movement of the first link element (20) with respect to the second link element (50). The first and second link elements (20, 50) are also configured to conceal the indexing member (58) independently of whether they are in one or other of said at least two indexed positions.
Adjustable link for a bracelet, comprising a first and a second link element interconnected by a telescopic adjustment mechanism so as to be able to move in translation with respect to one another in to take up at least two separate indexed positions, the mechanism comprising an actuator accessible from the outside of the adjustable link, a lock that is rigidly attached to the actuator and arranged in a cavity of one of the first and second link elements, and an indexing member arranged to cooperate with the lock and that is rigidly attached to the other of the first and second link elements while extending in the direction of translation movement of the first link element with respect to the second link element, wherein said first and second link elements are further configured to conceal the indexing member independently of whether they are in one or the other of said at least two indexed positions.
Adjustable link according to claim_1, wherein the lock is traversed from one side to the other by the indexing member when the link is in a retracted or partially retracted configuration.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
