Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wristwatch, a PHS
The present invention relates to an arm mounting device (arm belt) of a portable communication device such as a portable communication device, and a portable device such as a portable acoustic player.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an arm mounting device for a portable device such as a wristwatch, a pair of substantially C-shaped, arc-shaped band members and a bridge made of an elastic material for connecting one ends of the pair of band members to each other are provided. A mounting portion for a portable device is provided at the one end of each of the pair of band components, and the pair of band components is configured to urge the pair of band components toward the closed side by elasticity of the bridging member. A conventional method has been proposed (JP-A-10-215922).

[0003]

The wrist mounting device for a portable device having the above-mentioned configuration achieves the intended purpose as an wrist device for mounting a portable device such as a wristwatch on an arm.
Since the bridge member made of an elastic material constantly urges the pair of band members toward the closing side, when the band member is released from a state in which the bridge members are elastically deformed and the band members are opened, The band component cannot maintain the open state and always returns to the closed state. For this reason, when attaching the portable device to the arm, it is necessary to open the band component by elastically deforming the bridging member. Even if the operation of removing the portable device from the arm can be performed with one touch, the portable device is attached to the arm. You can't do it with one touch.

[0004] This is not so inconvenient for a portable device such as a wristwatch that is not frequently removed and attached, but for a portable communication device such as a PHS, the portable device is disconnected every time a call is made. In addition, since the attachment is performed, the operability is poor, and an accident such as dropping the portable communication device on the floor or the ground by mistake when re-attaching to the arm is likely to occur.
