Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a watch band with excellent appearance, where one end is thick, the other end is thin and convenient and also a step is not formed on an outer surface by respectively covering the outer surface and the end surface of core materials with a front material, forming front and rear both-side belt shape pieces, stripping inner surfaces where the core materials are exposed and adhering the both inner surfaces. SOLUTION: The outer and end surfaces of a plurality of core materials 3 and 4 are covered by the respective front materials 5 and 6 and, then, the front side belt shape piece 1 and the rear side belt shape piece 2 are formed. The inner surface of the piece 1, that is, the surface where the core material 3 which is not covered by the material 5 is exposed is obliquely stripped, the end part at a side to be connected to a watch is made to be thick and also the opposite side end part is made to be thin. Besides, the piece 1 is superimposed on the piece 2 to adhere their inner surfaces and the both pieces are integrally joined. Moreover, a pin holding member 7 is fixed on one end inner surface at the side to be connected to the watch in the piece 2. By this, a hole is formed by properly pulling out the pin 8 and a connection pin of the watch is inserted to the hole.

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 more particularly to a method of manufacturing a non-metal wristband.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art One end of a wristband in the longitudinal direction is connected to a wristwatch, so that the wristband must have strength and a certain thickness. On the other hand, since the other end is connected to another wristwatch band via the connecting fitting, it is necessary that the other end has flexibility so that it can be easily attached to and detached from the connecting fitting. That is, it is easier to use the wristwatch band by changing the thickness so that one end is thickened and the other end is thinned. Therefore, conventionally, a center was inserted near one end of the wristband connected to the wristwatch to increase the wall thickness. However, when the core is inserted, there is a problem that a step is formed on the outer surface and the appearance is deteriorated.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a manufacturing method capable of obtaining a wristwatch band which is easy to use because one end is thick and the other end is thin, and has a good appearance without a step on the outer surface. Providing is an issue.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method of manufacturing a wristwatch band according to the present invention comprises the steps of:
A front-side strip 1 and a back-side strip 2 are formed on the outer surface and the end face of the base material by covering the front-surface materials 5 and 6, respectively, and the core material of one or both of the front-side strip 1 and the back-side strip 2 is exposed. The method is characterized in that the inner surface is peeled off obliquely in the longitudinal direction, and then both inner surfaces are brought into close contact with each other to join the front-side strip 1 and the back-side strip 2 in an overlapping state.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the outer surfaces and the end surfaces of the core members 3 and 4 are covered with surface materials 5 and 6 to form the front band 1 and the back band 2. The materials of the core materials 3 and 4 and the surface materials 5 and 6 are free as long as they have flexibility. For example, the core materials 3 and 4 include leather pieces or plastic pieces,
Leather materials, plastic sheets, fabrics, and the like can be used for the surface materials 5 and 6. The surface materials 5 and 6 are bonded to the core materials 3 and 4 using an adhesive, or are joined by welding using a welder, a hot press, or the like.

[0006] Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner surface of the front-side strip 1, that is, the surface where the core material 3 not covered with the surface material 5 is exposed, is obliquely peeled off and connected to a wristwatch. Is made thicker and the opposite end is made thinner. In this embodiment, the inner surface of the front band 1 is peeled off, but an embodiment in which the inner surface of the back band 2 is peeled or an embodiment in which both the front band 1 and the back band 2 are peeled are also possible. is there.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the front-side strip 1 and the back-side strip 2 are overlapped so that their inner surfaces are in close contact with each other, and both are integrally joined by a method such as adhesion or welding. . A pin holding member 7 is fixed to the inner surface of one end of the back-side strip 2 on the side to which the wristwatch is connected. This is for removing the pin 8 therefrom to form a hole into which the connecting pin of the watch is inserted.

Finally, a wristwatch band 10 as shown in FIG. 1 is completed by providing a stop hole 9 or the like for the connection fitting.

[0009]

As described above, the method for manufacturing a wristwatch band according to the present invention comprises a front band 1 and a back band 2 formed by covering the outer surfaces and the end surfaces of the core members 3 and 4 with the surface materials 5 and 6, respectively. Is formed, and the inner surface where one or both of the core material of the front-side strip 1 and the back-side strip 2 is exposed is obliquely stripped in the longitudinal direction, and both inner surfaces are brought into close contact with each other to form the front-side strip 1 Since the back-side strips 2 are joined in an overlapped state, it is easy to use a wristwatch band having one end thick and the other end thin and easy to use, and a wristwatch band that has no external steps and has a good appearance. it can.
