Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wristwatch case, more specifically to the construction for installing band components and a back cover component onto a case frame body. Furthermore, the invention relates to a decorative construction for enhancing a decorated property of an external case frame body.
  • wristwatch case construction generally consisted of a pair of right and left legs in positions relative to a case frame body, and separate watchbands are attached between the aforementioned legs.
  • a case frame body In the past, wristwatch case construction generally consisted of a pair of right and left legs in positions relative to a case frame body, and separate watchbands are attached between the aforementioned legs. (See patent references 1 and 2.)
  • an inner wall surface of each leg in the 12 and 6 o'clock sides is provided with a retaining hole for bridging and engaging a spring rod.
  • a case frame body 60 is made of hard materials that are difficult to machine, such as cemented carbide or ceramics.
  • the case frame body 60 made of cemented carbide is directly provided with retaining holes 60f for protruding pins 50a located at the tips of spring rods 50 by subjecting an inner wall surface 60h of each leg 60e to electro-discharge machining.
  • a hard wristwatch case had problems that difficulty in designing a thin-walled case frame body provides limitations to dimensional specifications for the design because it is difficult to make the hard wristwatch case thinner, resulting in the difficulty to obtain sufficient design strength. In particular, damage caused by insufficient strength of the legs for the case frame body to which watchbands are attached was a major problem.
  • Patent reference 3 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-198183
  • patent reference 3 is an innovative and excellent construction for attaching the watchband with no visual difference in comparison with a construction of a usual hard wristwatch case.
  • a construction of a hard wristwatch case as an ornament, it was a construction lacking visual decoration with difficulty in realizing a more innovative design.
  • the purpose of this invention is to realize a construction where the decorated properties and the rigidity of a hard wristwatch case are enhanced by changing the configuration simply, and no cracking or chipping is generated in the legs of a case frame body when attaching and detaching spring rods for the watchbands, and further to provide a hard wristwatch case where the construction for installing a back cover is simultaneously improved so that the need for brazing threaded bushes is eliminated.
  • a wristwatch case comprising a case frame body made of hard materials provided with a pair of right and left legs or legs having a shape equivalent to such legs in the relative positions, a cover glass to be installed to a front face side of the case frame body, a back cover to be installed to a back face side of the case frame body, and band attachment spaces for supporting separate watchbands between the aforementioned legs, decorated members made of a shock-resistant metal provided with retaining hole members for spring rods at both ends are fit into grooves provided on the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock side surfaces of the aforementioned case frame body, the retaining hole members are embedded in the through-holes provided in the legs of the case frame body so that the members for installing the aforementioned spring rods are exposed on the inner wall surfaces of the band attachment spaces of the aforementioned legs, and the watchbands are attached by bridging the spring rods between the retaining holes of the decorated members installed as already stated.
