2. Description of the Related Art In general, watches, PHS (Personal Han
As a wristband for wearing a portable device such as a wristwatch-type communication device or a wristwatch-type information device on a wrist, which is represented by a dyphone system, for example, opposing ends of a case body of the portable device (hereinafter, referred to as “band”). The two 6 o'clock bands connected to the "6 o'clock side" and "12:00 o'clock side" and 1
2. Description of the Related Art There is a known 2:00 band which is locked by a buckle and connected to be attached to an arm. Here, such a band is referred to as a buckle-type band. This buckle type band is known to be made of leather or fiber with a buckle, or of a metal chain with a binding.

In addition to a buckle type band, a bangle type band formed in a predetermined shape capable of surrounding an arm with a 6 o'clock side band and a 12 o'clock side band is known. In this bangle type band, the 6 o'clock side band and the 12 o'clock side band are fixed together in a state where they are fitted so as to sandwich the arm without being connected to each other, and are attached to the arm. The bangle-type band is also called a bracelet-type band, and tends to be adopted as a band that attaches importance to a design rather than a function of fitting to an arm.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional buckle-type wrist band, 6 buckles are provided by the buckle.
Since the hour band and the 12 o'clock band are connected and locked so that they do not come off immediately, and are firmly fitted to the arm, there is a problem that the operability at the time of attachment and detachment is poor.

[0005] In addition, a bangle type wristband, also called a bracelet type, has a problem in that it is difficult to design and manufacture it with versatility so as to fit firmly into the wrist.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above, and has a highly versatile bangle-type arm mounting which can be firmly fitted to the arm according to the thickness of the arm and can be easily attached and detached. It is intended to provide a band for use.

In the first embodiment, the case where the 12 o'clock side band 30 is shorter than the 6 o'clock side band 40 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the 12:00 side band 30 is shorter than the 6 o'clock side band 40. Even if it is long, both may be the same length. Further, in the case of the same length, they may have the same shape.

In the first embodiment, the case has been described where the angle of the 6 o'clock side band 40 is changed to finely adjust the ring diameter formed by the PHS communication terminal main body and the wrist band. Even when the angle of the hour band 30 is changed to finely adjust the ring diameter formed by the PHS communication terminal main body and the wrist band, the 12 o'clock band 30 and the 6 o'clock band 40 By changing both angles, the diameter of the ring formed by the PHS communication terminal main body and the wrist band may be finely adjusted.

Also, in the first embodiment, the wristband used for the PHS communication terminal of the wristwatch-type communication device has been described as an example. However, other wristwatch-type communication devices, watches, wristwatch-type information devices, etc. The wristband can be similarly configured and operated in the portable device.

[0039]

As described above, in the present invention, the opening angle of at least one of the one end band and the other end band is continuously changed, and the one end band and the other end band are wound around the arm. Since the ring diameter when attaching a portable device to the arm can be finely adjusted, the user can easily use it according to the thickness of the arm, and the effect is obtained. The effect that a band can be provided at low cost is acquired. In particular, in the case of a wrist-mounted portable device such as a PHS communication terminal that needs to be fitted to the arm to ensure operability, it is possible to improve the operability of attaching and detaching when operating quickly by removing from the arm. it can.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a specific mechanism for finely adjusting the ring diameter when the portable device is attached to the arm by being wound around the arm with the one end band and the other end band.

Further, in the present invention, the one end side band or the other end side band is provided with a rotating member for moving the moving member, and the rotational force of the rotating member is transmitted to the moving member to thereby cause the pushing. By moving the rotary member in the direction in which the rotary member abuts, the user can perform fine adjustment by rotating the rotary member, thereby further improving operability.

According to the present invention, when the moving member is removed from the abutment member and opened, at least one of the one end band and the other end band is opened by the urging force. Operability when removing is improved.

Further, according to the present invention, by pressing the pressing portion, the striking member is moved in the direction of removing the moving member from the striking member and is released, so that the user can press the pressing portion with one touch. In addition, the wristwatch-type portable terminal can be removed from the wrist, and the operability is further improved.
