Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wrist band, and more particularly, to a wristwatch, a PHS (Personal Han).
dyphone System) One end band connected to one end of the case body of a portable device such as a wristwatch-type communication device or a wristwatch-type information device represented by a communication terminal, and the other end of the case body facing the one end band. The present invention relates to an arm-attaching band for attaching a portable device to an arm by wrapping it around an arm with a band on the other end to be connected.

[0002]

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 typified by a communication terminal on a wrist, for example, a convex type is known. This convex type wrist band is made of a thin plate member made of a metal material such as stainless steel, and has a bow-shaped cross section in the width direction and a linear cross section in the length direction. )
From the belt-like equilibrium state, the elastic member is elastically deformed into an arc-like equilibrium state in which the cross section in the width direction is bent straight inward and the cross section in the length direction is arcuate.

In this convex type wrist band, a case body of a portable device is placed on one thin plate member, and both ends (hereinafter, "6 o'clock side" and "12 o'clock") of the case body are opposed to each other. "Time side".) To function as a wrist band.
In this specification, a change in shape due to mutual elastic deformation between a band-like equilibrium state and an arc-like equilibrium state will be referred to as transformation.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional convex type wrist band, the band is simply wound around the arm due to the property of one thin plate member connected to the case body of the portable device. In addition, there was a problem that the operability was poor because it could not be attached to or detached from the arm with one touch.

For example, in the above-mentioned conventional convex type wrist band, when detaching from the arm, the distal end of the thin plate member is pulled to elastically deform from an arc-shaped equilibrium state to a band-like equilibrium state, or when attached to the arm, The main body must be placed on the wrist to bend the thin plate member in a belt-like equilibrium state.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a convex type wrist band which can be attached to and detached from an arm with a single touch.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a wrist band according to the present invention has a band-like equilibrium state in which a cross section in a width direction has an arcuate shape and a cross section in a length direction has a linear shape. A thin plate member elastically deformed into an arc-shaped equilibrium state in which the cross section in the width direction is straightened by bending inward from the band-like equilibrium state and the cross section in the length direction is an arc shape, is attached to the case body of the portable device, In the arm mounting band (referred to as a “convex type band”) for attaching the portable device by winding the thin plate member around the arm in the arc-shaped equilibrium state, the thin plate member is tapered to a mounting side to be attached to the case body. The thin plate member is attached to the case body with the rotating shaft and the bearing portion.

Accordingly, when the user presses the tapered portion against the wrist while the thin plate member is in the belt-like equilibrium state and the external force pressing the case body acts on the tapered portion, the tapered portion is connected to the rotating shaft portion. It is elastically deformed by being pushed back from the portion and the contact portion of the case main body, and undergoes a transformation to move to an arc-shaped equilibrium state. Then, the stress due to the transformation generated in the tapered portion is transmitted to other parts, and the entire thin plate member is elastically deformed and undergoes transformation to shift to an arc equilibrium state. In this specification, “transformation” refers to a change in shape due to mutual elastic deformation between a band-like equilibrium state and an arc-like equilibrium state.

Further, the wrist band according to the present invention is a convex type band, wherein an insertion hole for inserting a thin plate member is provided in the case main body, and a top of the thin plate member inserted into the insertion hole is outwardly positioned. Alternatively, a configuration in which a pressing member for pressing down from the inside is provided in the case body. Thus, when the user presses the pressing member in the belt-shaped equilibrium state, the thin plate member is transformed into the arc-shaped equilibrium state.

[0010] The insertion hole needs at least a transformable size of the thin plate member. In other words, it is necessary to have a width equal to the width of the thin plate member in the belt equilibrium state, and only the length of the line segment connecting the midpoint of the line connecting both ends and the arcuate vertex in the arc equilibrium state. Height is required at both ends.

The wrist band according to the present invention is a convex type band, wherein one end side thin plate member extending from one end side of the case main body and the other end side of the case main body opposed to the one end side thin plate member are provided. It is a feature of the present invention that a meshing tooth meshing with each other is provided at each end of the extending thin plate member at the other end. In addition, the meshing teeth may be those having peaks and valleys such as saw teeth.

The wrist band according to the present invention is characterized in that, in a convex type band, a notch is provided on a peripheral edge of the thin plate member. Accordingly, when the thin plate member is transformed from the band-like equilibrium state to the arc-like equilibrium state, when the user starts bending the thin plate member, the portion from the connection portion of the case body to the notch portion bends, and the notch portion is bent. By the way, it stops in a state where it does not bend, and it is wound around the arm by bending again from the notch to the tip.
