Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement of a wrist-watch strap, bracelet or similar band provided with an adjustable bucket and a slideably attached, ring-shaped holder intended to keep the free end portion of the band in position alongside the band- Arrangements of this kind usually are marred by the drawback that the ring-shaped holder has a tendency to slide off the free end portion of the band such that said free end portion becomes free to stick out from the band in an inconvenient way and with the consequence that the buckle might get unbuckled. Even if the movable holder initially is dimensioned to slide in a stiff way, experience has shown that this quality is lost after some time of use, and the holder becomes smooth-sliding.
- the Swedish patent specification 462 074 discloses a device for preventing the the movable holder from sliding off the free end portion of the band.
- the top side of the free band portion and the interior of the upper part of the movable holder are provided with magnetically attracting members. Therefore, the movable holder will adhere to the free end portion of the band irrespective of the length of the free end portion of the band. If the band is a belt, and the belt is hung up by the buckle the movable holder normally will slide down along the belt, but will not be lost, because the holder will get stuck to the free end portion of the belt.
- This known device accordingly, has many valuable qualities, but the magnetic members proved to be subject to hard mechanical wear at the use of the band or belt, which resulted in a tendency of the magnetic members to come loose.
- the Swedish patent 501 256 discloses different embodiments of the magnetically attracting members in devices according to the above mentioned patent for improving the attachment of the magnetically attracting members to the band and the holder.
- the attachment according to the patent can be made secure, but it will no doubt be too complicated for a general use.
- the VELCRO fastening means of the holder Only when the free end of the band at putting on the band will become positioned at a new place, the VELCRO fastening means of the holder must be loosened and the holder displaced a distance where it is stuck again. Because the VELCRO fastening means are shaped like strips of fabric there are no problems in connection with the attachment to the band, whether it consists of fabric, leather or plastic. Glueing is possible with at least the ends of the VELCRO fastening means sewed to the band.
- the device according to the invention has the advantage of the VELCRO fastening means not being visible when the band is used. Moreover, the advantage mentioned above of the movable holder being prevented from sliding off from a band in the shape of a belt is still valid here, because the holder cannot slide uncontrolled on the belt.
- the VELCRO fastening means attached to the movable holder is, according to claim 2, suitably a male type member, i.e.the member of the VELCRO fastening means that is provided with small hooks in contrast to a female member that is provided with small loops.
- a male type member i.e.the member of the VELCRO fastening means that is provided with small hooks in contrast to a female member that is provided with small loops.
- Figure 1 is a plan view of a wrist-watch strap made of leather and provided with a buckle
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the strap shown in Figure 1 along the line II in Figure 1.
- the drawing shows the strap 2 provided with a buckle 1.
- the free end portion of the strap extends through the buckle 1 and through a movable ring-shaped holder 3, that keeps the free end portion 4 of the strap in place alongside the top side of the strap 2.
- the back of the strap 2 is provided with the female member 5 of a VELCRO fastening means that extends from a place on the strap 2 close to the buckle 1 to a place where the free end portion 4 normally can be positioned when positioned as far from the buckle as possible.
- the male member 6 of the VELCRO fastening means is attached to the interior of the bottom part of the holder 3.
- the holder 3 is moved to the free end portion 4 of the strap where the male member of the holder has stuck to the female member 5 of the strap 2 by the pressure of the strap 2 against the bottom part of the holder, which part bears on the wrist.
- the free end portion 4 is pulled out from the holder 3 and disconnected from the buckle 1 by letting it slide out from the buckle.
- the free end portion 4 is pushed through the buckle 1 and locked by the buckle, after which the free end portion 4 is moved into the holder 3, which already has the correct position after the previous adjustment.
- the VELCRO fastening means is disconnected by applying pressure downwards in a suitable way to the bottom part of the holder, whereafter the holder is moved to a new position where the male member 6 is permitted to get stuck to the the female member 5.
- VELCRO fastening means are usually made of polyamide plastic with very fine qualities and dimensions and are very durable.
- the female member of the VELCRO member has very small loops and a structure similar to velvet, such that the female member can bear on the wrist without causing irritations of any kind.
- the male member has hooks with a somewhat rougher structure and therefore are suitably used in the interior of the holder 3, where it cannot get in contact with the skin or get dirty.
- the two members 5,6 of the VELCRO fastening means can be glued to the band and holder, respectively, but to ensure a safe attachment the glue joint may be completed by sewing on at least the ends of the members.
- a wrist-watch strap is usually made by sewing together two strips of leather, one alongside the other.
- the female member 5 of the VELCRO fastening means is sewed on the bottom strip of the leather strips such that the seams - are -not visible on the top side of the strap.
- the female member of the VELCRO fastening means can for example, especially on belts, comprise a line of separate parts with suitable interspaces for forming a long member with a moderate consumption of material.
