Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a watch band, and more particularly to a watch band the effective length of which can be elongated more than an ordinary length.
- Generally, a band the effective length of which is adjustable is widely used. The adjustable length of the band is about 1.2 times as large as the length enough for an ordinary person.
- Usually, the watch is directly worn on the wrist of the user. When skiing, it is convenient for a skier if the watch can be worn on a ski glove, enabling him to know the time without folding back the edge of the glove and the sleeve of the ski wear. However, the ski glove is bulky so that the surrounding length of the glove at the wrist is more than 1.3 times as large as that of the wrist.
- If such a long band is attached to the watch, it is possible to wear the watch on the ski glove. However, in ordinary use, it is hard to wear such a long band because there remains a long spare part of the band. Further, the watch is covered with a part of the band, causing difficulty in knowing the time.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a watch band the length of which can be elongated, thereby enabling to wear the watch on an extremely thick portion such as a ski glove and a sleeve of a coat.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a watch band which is easily connected to and removed from the watch.
- To this end, the present invention is characterized by a watch band comprising the band being flexible, fixing means fixing an end of the band folded back at a spring loaded pin attached to a case of a watch at one side thereof, a connecting link having a slit through which the band is put and folded back, and connected to the watch case at the other side, an adjusting link secured to the other end of the band and having a grasping portion to be fixed to a middle portion of the band, the effective length of the band being adjusted at the slit of the connecting link and the end of the band being fixed to the middle portion by the grasping portion.

- Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, a
watch band 1 is made of synthetic fiber knitted in a belt. Referring to Fig. 3, an end portion la of theband 1 is looped to form ahole 2 and adhered to the main part of the band at anend 1b. A spring loadedpin 4 mounted on an end of awatch case 3 is inserted into thehole 2 so that the end of theband 1 is connected to thewatch case 3. As shown in Fig. 2, a middle portion in the length of theband 1 is folded back at a connecting pin 6 (Fig. 6) of a connectinglink 5 and the other end of theband 1 is secured to an adjustinglink 7 which is detachably attached to theband 1. - Each part of the band will be described hereinafter in detail.
- Referring to Figs. 6 and 7, the connecting
link 5 made of plastics comprises a pair ofside plates 10, and the connectingpin 6 and alateral pin 8 which are integrated with theside plates 10. A slit 11 is formed between thepins band 1 through it. On an inner end of eachside plate 10, anengaging lug 10a is provided to be inwardly projected from the side plates. Thewatch case 3 has a connecting projection 3a having oppositeengaging grooves 3b formed on the outer end thereof corresponding to theengaging lugs 10a of the connectinglink 5. As shown in Figs. 5 and 7, theengaging lug 10a has an elliptic shape in section such that the length of the lug in the major axis direction is larger than the width W of theengaging groove 3b and the length in the minor axis direction is smaller than the width W. - As shown in Fig. 7, each
engaging grooves 3b of the connecting projection 3a has a keyhole shape as viewed from the side, and hence has a shallowupper groove 3b1 and a deepcircular groove 3b2. - Referring to Figs. 3 and 4, the adjusting
link 7 comprises a band receiving portion 7a for receiving the other end lh of theband 1 and a clip portion 7b having a space to be engaged with the middle portion of theband 1. A pair ofscrews 12 are screwed in an upper plate of thelink 7 to fix the end lh of theband 1 to the receiving portion 7a. A U-shapedspring 13 is provided in the space of the clip portion 7b for grasping theband 1 so that the middle portion of theband 1 is fixed to the clip portion 7b. - Method of wearing the watch on the wrist will be described hereinafter.
- The
band 1 is put through the slit 11 of the connectinglink 5. The end lh of theband 1 is secured to the adjustinglink 7 withscrews 12. As shown by a chain line of Fig. 2, at first the adjustinglink 7 is not fixed to the middle portion of theband 1, and hence a loop of theband 1 can be expanded. Thus, expanding the loop, theband 1 is put onwrist 14 and the watch is mounted on the wrist. The adjustinglink 7 secured to theband 1 is pulled to surround thewrist 14 so that an inner band portion lc is wound around thewrist 14. A residual outer band portion ld is wound on the outside of the inner band portion lc. The adjustinglink 7 is slid on theband 1 in the lateral direction thereof and the clip portion 7b is engaged with theband 1 such as a tie pin. Thus, the watch is worn the wrist, while the loop of the band is maintained. - At that time, the
band 1 is grasped in thelink 7 by thespring 13. In order to adjust the diameter of the loop formed by the band, the adjustinglink 7 is removed from the band. The adjustinglink 7 is engaged with theband 1 at a proper position on the band corresponding to the thickness of the wrist. Thus, the effective length of theband 1 can be easily adjusted. - From the foregoing, it will be understood that it is possible to elongate the effective length of the band to be wound on the wrist twice as large as the minimum effective length of the band.
- Furthermore, the connecting
link 5 is easily attached to or removed from the watch case, whereby the watch can be easily worn on or taken off the wrist while the determined loop of the band is maintained. - Attaching and detaching operations of the connecting
link 5 will be described hereinafter with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. - The engaging
lugs 10a provided on the side plates of the connectinglink 5 are engaged with the engaginggrooves 3b of thewatch case 3. Since the width W of thegroove 3b is smaller than the width of the major axis of thelug 10a, when the connectinglink 5 is at a position A of Fig. 5, the connecting link is prevented from removing from thewatch case 3. - When the connecting
link 5 is rotated in the clockwise direction and at a position B, thelateral pin 8 abuts on a wall 3c of thewatch case 3 so that the rotation of the connectinglink 5 is stopped. In an ordinary state, therefore, the connecting link can be freely rotated between the positions A and B. - Describing the removing operation of the connecting
link 5 from thewatch case 3, when the connectinglink 5 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction and located at an upright position C as shown by dot-dash lines in Fig. 5, the minor axis of the engaginglug 10a corresponds to theupper groove 3b1 of the engaginggroove 3b. Since the width of the engaginglug 10a is smaller than the width of theupper groove 3b1, thelug 10a is in the state to be easily removed from the engaginggroove 3b. However, in order to prevent the engaginglugs 10a from easily removing from the engaginggrooves 3b at the upright position C, thecircular groove 3b2 has a lateral deep bottom as shown in Fig. 6 and the engaginglug 10a engages with thedeep groove 3b2. - At the position C, the
link 5 is forcibly pulled in the upper direction. Thus, theside plates 10 are slightly expanded in the opposite directions as shown by a chain line of Fig. 6, so that the watch case is separated from the connectinglink 5. In order to connect the connectinglink 5 to thecase 3, thelink 5 is located at a position corresponding the position C and forcibly pushed so that the engaginglugs 10a are inserted into the engaginggrooves 3b. Then, the link is rotated in the clockwise direction of Fig. 5 to the position A. - Fig. 8 shows another example of the
engaging grooves 3b in which each engaginggroove 3b has a flat base. - Figs. 9 to 12 show the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 10, a connecting
link 20 has alateral pin 21 having an arc portion formed in the front side of the pin corresponding to a watch case. Each engaginglug 22 has a circular shape in section. Awatch case 30 has twoprojections lateral pin 21. Theprojection 31 is formed to have a height such that thelateral pin 21 of the connectinglink 20 can not be moved over the projection. Theprojection 32 has a height such that thelateral pin 21 can pass over the projection if thelink 20 is forcibly rotated. In an ordinary state, the connectinglink 20 can be freely rotated between theprojections lugs 22. Each engaginggroove 33 to be engaged with the engaginglug 22 has a flat base with the same width. - Referring to Fig. 12, an adjusting
link 25 has agrasping arm 26 formed on the underside portion thereof to have elasticity. Thus, theband 1 is grasped in the adjustinglink 25 and secured thereto only by the grasping arm 27. - In order to remove the connecting
link 20 from thewatch case 30, when the connectinglink 20 is forcibly rotated in the counterclockwise direction as shown in Fig. 10 by dot-dash lines, thelateral pin 21 reaches the upright position C passing over theprojection 32. Then, the connectinglink 20 is pulled in the upward direction, so that the connecting link is separated from the watch case. In order to connect the connectinglink 20 to thecase 30, an inverse operation is performed. - Referring to Figs. 13 to 17 showing the third embodiment, the same parts as the first embodiment are identified with the same reference numerals as Figs. 1 to 7. Referring to Fig. 15, the
band 1 is put through aslit 7d of the adjustinglink 7 and folded back to double the band. The double band portion is sewed together with a thread le. The main part of the band is put throughslits 35c and 35b of abuckle 35. As shown in Figs. 14 and 17, theband 1 is folded back at the spring loadedpin 4 of thewatch case 3 and put through theslits 35b and 35c of thebuckle 35. An end If of the band is folded back by 5 mm to double the band which is sewed with a thread lg. Referring to Figs. 13 and 17, thebuckle 35 comprises a cross bar 35a provided in the center thereof, and a pair ofbridges slits 35b and 35c. Eachslit 35b and 35c is formed to have a lateral width which enables the double bands to put through it and disables triple bands to put through. Thus, the double end If can not pass the slit 35c. As shown in Figs. 15 and 16, the band engaging portion of the adjustinglink 7 comprises an engaginggroove 7e engaged with a middle portion of the band, and agrasping arm 7f. Thelink 7 is made of plastic having elasticity so that thegrasping arm 7f is adapted to firmly grasp theband 1 when engaged. Other structures and the attachment operation of the watch band of the third embodiment are the same as that of the first embodiment. Since the band of this embodiment is provided with a buckle, the length of the band can be elongated more than the previous embodiments. Furthermore, the diameter of the loop formed by the band is adjustable by sliding the buckle on the band. - Figs. 18 and 19 show a modification of the adjusting link of the third embodiment which is approximately the same in construction as the adjusting
link 7 of Fig. 15. Thegrasping arm 7f of the adjustinglink 7 has an inner projection 7g and aslant guide portion 7h formed on the inside thereof. Consequently, the engaginggroove 7e is formed to have a narrow opening and a wide inner space so that a step portion is formed in the groove. When the adjusting link is engaged with theband 1, the elasticity of thegrasping arm 7f effectively acts on the band at the inner projection 7g. Even if the band is laterally slid in the groove toward the outside of the link, the same grasping force of the projecting portion 7g acts on the band so that the band is not removed from the link. Furthermore, since theslant guide portion 7h is formed adjacent the inner projection 7g, the band can be easily inserted in the engaging groove. In addition, a projecting portion 7i is formed adjacent the inner projection 7g on thegrasping arm 7f projected from the plate in the longitudinal direction of the band for easily engaging the adjusting link with the band. Namely, the lateral opposite sides of thelink 7 are held with a thumb and a middle finger of the user and the projection 7i is pushed up with a forefinger to open the groove for inserting the band thereto. - In accordance with the present invention, the effective length of the band can be elongated to wear the watch on the ski glove. Furthermore, the length of the band is easily adjusted by engaging the adjusting link with the band to a proper position thereof.
