Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a wristwatch band,
In particular, it relates to a soft band such as a cloth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a band for a wristwatch, a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to a soft band such as synthetic resin, rubber, leather, and cloth.
In some cases, the watch is attached to the wrist by joining the hook-and-loop fastener. The hook-and-loop fastener is composed of one surface having a large number of hook-shaped branches and the other surface having a large number of ring-shaped branches. One surface and the other surface can repeat joining and separation. Such hook-and-loop fasteners can be purchased on the market under trade names such as Velcro. In a band provided with such a hook-and-loop fastener, when the hook-and-loop fastener is removed, the band of the band is enlarged and the watch may fall off from the wrist.

As a device for preventing such a defect, there are those described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-70914 and Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3029496. FIG. 12 is a side view showing a wristwatch described in the Utility Model Publication, in which first and second cloth bands 2 and 3 are attached to a wristwatch case 1 and folded back with a clasp 4 to form a ring.

This tip portion is folded back through the space between the bars 5a and 5b and the tip 8a of the tongue piece 8 is expanded as shown. The expanded portion comes into contact with the folded portion of the first band bar 5b, thereby preventing the band from moving backward, releasing the band loop, and preventing the wristwatch from falling.

[0005]

However, such a band has the following disadvantages when the wristwatch is worn on the wrist. (1) Since the free end 8a of the tongue piece 8 swings in conjunction with the movement of the arm, not only the feeling of wearing is bad but also the appearance of the wristwatch is impaired. (2) Since the free end of the tongue piece is easily caught by the corner of the desk, the hook and loop fastener of the band may be inadvertently disconnected. (3) When the band is hooked on a corner of a desk or the like and the band is pulled, the band is cut or the clasp 4 is damaged. (4) The band does not slide smoothly with respect to the clasp, and it is not easy to attach to the wrist and adjust the length. An object of the present invention is to provide a wristwatch band that has no protruding portion at the tip of the band and can eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages.
