Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wristwatch band and a calendar device, and more particularly to a wristwatch band having a calendar function and a calendar device attachable to the band.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years,
The multi-functionalization of this type of wristwatch has progressed, and for example, many wristwatches equipped with various functions such as date and temperature display are on the market. It just worked to be worn on the wrist.

In this case, if the band is provided with other functions, the same effect as if the wristwatch itself is provided with other functions can be obtained by replacing the band, and it can be applied to various wristwatches. It is convenient.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a point, and provides a wristwatch band having a calendar function for use by the user and a calendar device attachable to the band. Is an issue.

[0005]

That is, according to the present invention, the band main body 1 is provided with a display section 4 capable of electrically displaying a monthly calendar 7 collectively and the current date displayed on the display section 4. It is a wristwatch band including identification means capable of identifying

[0006]

Therefore, the wristwatch band having the above-mentioned structure is used by being attached to the wristwatch. When the display unit 4 of the band body 1 is viewed, it is specified by the calendar 7 of the month and the specifying means. You can check the current date.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a wristwatch band according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a plurality of plate pieces 2 and pins 3
Shows a band main body rotatably connected by means of a wristwatch (not shown) connected to the plate pieces 2 at both ends thereof via pins. Reference numeral 4 denotes a display unit provided on the surface of one plate piece 2a of the plate pieces 2. The current year 5, month 6 and monthly calendar 7 are displayed on the liquid crystal display, and in the calendar 7, Below the date to identify the current date, the-symbol 8
Is configured to be capable of liquid crystal display. The display of the month 6 and the calendar 7 is set to be updated every month, and the display of the year 5 is also updated every year.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a display control circuit 9 and a microprocessor 10 connected to the display unit 4 are built in the plate piece 2a, respectively.
Is a clock that oscillates a reference frequency based on outputs of a ROM 11 that fixedly stores processing instructions, a memory RAM 12 that stores various registers and a calendar 7, an arithmetic and logic operation circuit 13, an accumulator 14, a buffer 15, and a crystal oscillator 16. A generator (17) and a battery (not shown) that is also detachably attached to the plate piece 2a are used as a power source.

The present embodiment is constructed as described above, and an example of its use will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, when the battery is attached to the plate piece 2a, the current year 5 and month 6 and the monthly calendar 7 are displayed on the display portion 4.
And are displayed on the liquid crystal, and a symbol 8 is displayed on the lower side of the date in the liquid crystal in order to specify the current date in the calendar 7.

That is, by replacing the wristwatch with such a band and attaching it to the wristwatch, the same result as when the wristwatch itself is provided with a calendar function can be obtained.

Further, such a band has a practical advantage that it can be widely applied to various wrist watches.

Furthermore, since the band according to this embodiment has a very simple structure, it can be manufactured easily and at low cost.

In the above embodiment, the means for identifying the current date is constituted by the-symbol 8 displayed below the date. However, the date may be surrounded by a circle symbol.
The point is that the symbol 8 can be used to specify the date, and the present date can be replaced by flashing the current date, or the color can be changed to specify the date.

Further, instead of providing the plate piece 2a itself constituting the band body 1 with the calendar function as in the above embodiment, a separate calendar device 18 having a calendar function is attached to the band 19 as shown in FIG. It may be configured to do so. That is, the display unit 4, the control circuit, the battery, and the like similar to those in the above-described embodiment are built in the device body 20 and fixed to the band 19 for use. In this case, the battery is built in the plate piece 2a of the band body 1, and the device body 20 is connected to the band 19a.
It may be configured such that it is electrically connected via a contact (not shown) when it is mounted on, and such a configuration has an advantage that the device body 20 of the calendar device 18 can be made compact.

Although the calendar 7 and the like are displayed on the display unit 4 in the liquid crystal display in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the calendar 7 and the like may be electrically displayed. Any display unit 4 capable of displaying may be used.

In addition, the design of the shape of the band body 1 and the specific configuration of the control circuit and the like can be arbitrarily changed within the scope intended by the present invention.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, a wristwatch band is provided with a calendar function. Therefore, by replacing the wristband with such a band, the same result as when the wristwatch itself is provided with a calendar function is obtained. The present invention has the particular effect of being obtained and being widely applicable to various wrist watches.

Also, since the band according to the present invention has a very simple overall structure, it is possible to obtain the practical effect that the band can be manufactured easily and at low cost.
