【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、装飾部品や健康増進部品などの付加部材を備えた、腕時計、ブレスレット、あるいはネックレスなどの帯状装身具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
装飾部品又は健康増進部品などの付加部材を取付けた帯状装身具はすでに知られている。
たとえば、腕時計の装飾性を高めるための装飾部材としては、ケースの裏蓋に取付けられる銘板が広く知られている。銘板は、ステンレスや黄銅などの金属、あるいは合成樹脂などの材料で作られ、模様や絵柄などが表面に付された板である。そして、銘板は、両面テープなどの接着テープや接着剤などで、裏蓋の外面に接着されてきた。
【０００３】
他方、携帯者の健康を増進させる健康増進部品として、近年、遠赤外線を発生する部品が、腕時計に用いられるようになった。遠赤外線発生部品などの健康増進部品を備えることで、計時機能以外の健康増進器具としての機能が、腕時計に付加されている。
【０００４】
この健康増進部品としては、トルマリンが広く用いられている。トルマリンは、別名電気石とも呼ばれ、わずかな加温や加圧で、人体にとって適度な遠赤外線を発生する。さらに、加温や加圧によって生じたトルマリンの電場の中に、大気中の水分子が通過すると、水分子は水素イオンと水酸イオンに解離する。この水酸イオンが水分子と結合して、マイナスの電荷をもつヒドロキシルイオンとなって大気中に浮遊する。このマイナスイオンを含む空気が健康を増進させる。このように、トルマリンは、遠赤外線とマイナスイオン双方を発生させるため、健康増進部品として多用されている。
【０００５】
市場では、トルマリンを含む部品がケースの裏蓋の外面に接着された腕時計が、すでに市販されている。
加えて、トルマリンを含むマイナスイオン発生部品を、裏蓋のみならず、中留に取付けることも知られている（たとえば、特許文献１参照。）。また、バンドの駒の裏側にマイナスイオン発生部品と磁石とを交互に取付けることも知られている（たとえば、特許文献２参照。）。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、銘板などの装飾部品は、購買者や携帯者に視認できるように、腕時計の外面に露出して接着されなければならない。また、健康増進部品も、この部品から発生する遠赤外線や磁力を、より効果的に携帯者の身体に作用させるために、携帯者の肌に接するように、腕時計の外面に露出して接着されなければならない。
よって、これら装飾部品や健康増進部品には、不用意な外力が負荷されやすく、その結果、これらの部品は傷ついたり、はなはだしくは破損したりした。特に、装飾部品や健康増進部品がセラミックやガラスなどの脆い材質から成る場合には、これらの部品は極めて容易に、かつ頻繁に割れてしまった。
さらに、不用意な外力の負荷によって、装飾部品や健康増進部品が、腕時計から簡単に外れてしまうという問題があった。
【０００８】
また、装飾部品も健康増進部品も、腕時計に直接接着していたので、製造に手間がかかり、製造コストが高くなってしまった。そればかりか、接着剤や接着テープがはみ出すと、装身具としての美観をはなはだ損ねてしまった。
しかしながら、特許文献１も特許文献２も、これらの問題を解決する手段については、なんら開示していない。
これらの課題は、腕時計のみならず、ブレスレットやネックレスなどの他の帯状装身具にも、装飾部品や健康増進部品を取付ける場合に同様に存在する。
【０００９】
そこで本発明の第１の目的は、装飾部品、あるいは健康増進部品などの付加部材が傷ついたり破損したりしない帯状装身具を提供することにある。
また、本発明の第２の目的は、装飾部品、あるいは健康増進部品などの付加部材が強固に取付けられた帯状装身具を提供することにある。
また、本発明の第３の目的は、付加部材が見栄えよく取付けられた帯状装身具を提供することにある。
さらに、本発明の第４の目的は、付加部材が取付けられた帯状装身具を安価に製造することのできる構造を提供するにある。
【００１０】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この目的を達成するため、本発明の請求項１による帯状装身具は、帯状装身具の外面に配置された付加部材と、付加部材の外側に接する透過保持部材と、この透過保持部材が帯状装身具より脱落することを防ぐ脱落防止手段とよりなる。
この構成により、帯状装身具の外面に付加部材を配置し、その外側に透過保持部材を被せれば、脱落防止手段によって透過保持部材は帯状装身具より脱落しないので、付加部材が、透過保持部材と帯状装身具の外面との間に、強固に保持される。
【００１１】
また、付加部材は、透過保持部材によって、意図しない外力の負荷から保護されるので、傷ついたり破損したりしない。
かつ、付加部材が装飾部品である場合は、付加部材は透過保持部材を通して視認される。
また、付加部材が健康増進部品である場合は、健康増進部品が、透過保持部材を通して視認されるばかりか、この部品から発生する遠赤外線や磁力が、透過保持部材を通して携帯者の肌に作用する。
また、付加部材を帯状装身具に接着する必要がないので、接着剤のはみ出しなどで、帯状装身具の美観を損ねることがない。
【００１２】
さらに、この取付け作業は容易であるため、安価に付加部材を備える帯状装身具を製造できる。
なお、ここで、透過保持部材とは、透過保持部材を視認できる透明、あるいは半透明な部材であり、たとえば無機ガラス、有機ガラス、合成樹脂、ゴム、セラミックなどから成る。また、これらの素材の中に、顔料などの着色粒子が含有されることにより、透過保持部材を視認できる範囲で透過保持部材が着色されてもよい。
【００１３】
また、請求項２による本発明は、付加部材を装飾部品とすることができる。
装飾部品の素材は、ステンレス、チタン、チタン合金、黄銅などの金属、七宝などのセラミック、天然繊維、合成繊維、皮革、写真や絵などの紙、コイン、あるいは合成樹脂やゴムなどの柔軟体など、帯状装身具の外表面と透過保持部材との間に挟持できるものであれば、何であってもよい。これらの装飾部材の視認される外面には、マーク、模様、あるいは絵柄などが付されてもよい。あるいは、製品番号や部品番号などの識別符号が付されてもよい。
【００１４】
また、本発明は、請求項３によれば、付加部材を、健康増進部品とすることができる。健康増進部品としては、遠赤外線発生部品、あるいは永久磁石などの磁気発生部品などが採用される。
遠赤外線発生部品としては、たとえば、Ｓｉ３Ｎ４、Ｃ、ＴｉＯ２、ＭｇＯ、ＺｒＯ２、Ｆｅ（ＯＨ）２などの無機物を溶剤系のバインダーに練り込んで成形した成形部品を採用してもよい。あるいは、シリコンなどの液化樹脂と、麦飯石、蛇紋岩、角閃石、褐廉石、沸石、蛍石、フェルソング石などの多種類の鉱石を粉砕した微粉末鉱石とを混和させ、加熱処理を施してチップ状に成形した遠赤外線発生部品を採用してもよい。さらに、スギゴケ、ゼニゴケなどのコケ類植物を乾燥させ粉末状とした微粉末植物を加えて成形した部品を用いてもよい。
【００１５】
遠赤外線発生部品としては、たとえば、トルマリン鉱石の原石、トルマリン鉱石の粉末を含むセラミック成形部品、あるいはトルマリン鉱石の粉末を含む合成樹脂成形部品などを採用してもよい。
トルマリン鉱石の粉末を含むセラミック成形部品は、たとえば次のように製造される。セラミック微細中空粒子、およびトルマリン粉末を主構成材料とし、これに融剤となる材料を含むセラミックス組成物と水を加えて混練する。次いで、混練された材料を、所定の型枠に打設して、加圧成形後、焼成すればよい。
融剤としては、たとえば、長石、石灰石、炭酸マグネシウム、リン酸石灰、酸化鉛、硼酸、硼砂、炭酸ソーダ、硝酸ソーダ、酸化亜鉛の群から選択される、いずれか１種または２種以上を添加する。
【００１６】
セラミックス組成物とは、Ｂ２Ｏ３、ＳｉＯ２、ＧｅＯ２、ＺｒＯ２、Ｐ２Ｏ５、Ａｓ２Ｏ５、Ｓｂ２Ｏ３、Ｂｉ２Ｏ３、Ｐ２Ｏ３、Ｓｂ２Ｏ５、ＳＯ３などの酸性酸化物に、Ｎａ２Ｏ、Ｋ２Ｏ、ＣａＯ、ＭｇＯなどの塩基性酸化物や、Ａｌ２Ｏ３、Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、ＺｎＯ、ＰｂＯ、ＴｉＯ２などを添加したものが含まれる。たとえば、ＳｉＯ２−Ｎａ２Ｏ−Ｂｉ２Ｏ３、ＳｉＯ２−Ｎａ２Ｏ−ＣａＯ、ＳｉＯ２−Ｋ２Ｏ−ＣａＯ、Ａｌ２Ｏ３−ＳｉＯ２−Ｎａ２Ｏ−ＣａＯ−Ｂ２Ｏ３、Ａｌ２Ｏ３−ＳｉＯ２−ＴｉＯ２−ＣａＯ−Ｂ２Ｏ３、ＣａＯ−ＳｉＯ２−Ａｌ２Ｏ３−Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、あるいはＳｉＯ２−Ａｌ２Ｏ３−Ｋ２Ｏなどの群Ａから選択される、少なくとも１種を使用する。あるいは、天然素材のカオリン、可塑性粘土（蛙目粘土、木節粘土、ボールクレー等）、セリサイト、陶石、ロウ石、ベントナイト、珪石、シャモット、長石、石灰石、マグネサイト、ドロマイト、珪灰石、滑石、骨灰などの群Ｂから選択される、いずれか１種または２種以上を配合して使用する。群ＡとＢからそれぞれ選択される、少なくとも１種を配合して使用してもよい。
【００１７】
トルマリン鉱石の粉末を含む合成樹脂成形部品としては、たとえば、シリコンなどの液化樹脂と、トルマリン鉱石の粉末とを混和させ、加熱処理を施してシート状に成形した部品を採用してもよい。
【００１８】
また、本発明の請求項４によれば、帯状装身具の外面に、付加部材が収納される凹部が備えられる。よって、付加部材が、帯状装身具の外面に確実に位置決めされる。
そして、本発明の請求項５によれば、凹部内に透過保持部材が固定されても良い。
このとき、本発明の請求項６に記載された通り、透過保持部材の外面が、帯状装身具の外面より突出しないようにすれば、帯状装身具の携帯者の肌に透過保持部材が当たらないので、帯状装身具の装着感が良好になる。かつ、透過保持部材に意図しない外力が負荷されにくくなるので、透過保持部材が外れる危険が削減される。
【００１９】
また、本発明の請求項７によれば、透過保持部材の側面と凹部の内壁との間で圧縮されるパッキンによって、透過保持部材が凹部内に固定される。この取付け作業は容易であるため、安価に付加部材を備える帯状装身具を製造できる。また、凹部内は防水されるため、凹部内に砂や水が侵入しない。よって、付加部材が水分や湿気などによって錆びたり変色したりすることもない。パッキンは合成樹脂やゴムで成形できる。
このとき、本発明の請求項８に記載された通り、透過保持部材が載置される段部が凹部に備えられてもよい。すると、透過保持部材が、凹部内に確実に位置決めされて載置される。
また、請求項９に記載された通り、パッキンによって透過保持部材が凹部内に固定されるのであれば、透過保持部材は、透明、あるいは半透明の無機ガラスであることが好ましい。
【００２０】
また、本発明の請求項１０によれば、本発明の帯状装身具の透過保持部材は、外面、あるいは内面の少なくともいずれか一方に装飾層が被覆されてもよい。装飾層は、印刷、塗装、あるいは蒸着などの乾式メッキなどの手段によって被覆される。装飾層は、たとえば模様、マーク、絵柄、文字、記号などであることが好ましい。
【００２１】
また、本発明の請求項１１によれば、付加部材と透過保持部材との間に、外方緩衝部材が配置されてもよい。
これにより、透過保持部材に意図しない外力が負荷されても、外力は外方緩衝部材に緩衝されるので、外力から付加部材が保護される。特に、付加部材が脆い素材である場合、たとえば、セラミックやガラスなどからなる装飾部品、あるいはトルマリンを含むセラミック成形部品のような健康増進部品である場合、外部衝撃によって付加部材が傷ついたり破壊されたりしない。
外方緩衝部材は、柔軟な素材から成ることが好ましい。外方緩衝部材の素材には、たとえば合成樹脂やゴムが採用される。
【００２２】
この場合、本発明の請求項１２によれば、外方緩衝部材は、透過保持部材の内面に接する枠体であることが好ましい。すると、枠体の内側の開口を通して、付加部材が視認される。
また、本発明の請求項１３によれば、外方緩衝部材が、付加部材の外側面と、凹部の内壁とに接する側面部を備えてもよい。すると、帯状装身具に衝撃が負荷されようとも、付加部材の側面も衝撃から保護される。よって、衝撃によって付加部材が破壊される危険がさらに削減される。
【００２３】
また、本発明の請求項１４によれば、付加部材と帯状装身具の外面との間に、内方緩衝部材が配置されてもよい。
すると、帯状装身具に衝撃が負荷されようとも、衝撃は内方緩衝部材に緩衝されて、付加部材の内面に伝わらない。よって、衝撃によって付加部材が破壊される危険が削減される。
【００２４】
この場合、本発明の請求項１５によれば、内方緩衝部材は、付加部材が挿入される挿入部を備えることができる。すると、付加部材と内方緩衝部材とが確実に位置決めされる。さらに、帯状装身具に衝撃が負荷されようとも、付加部材が動いて、付加部材が凹部の内壁に衝突することがない。よって、衝撃によって付加部材が傷ついたり破壊されたりする危険が削減される。
さらに、本発明の請求項１６によれば、内方緩衝部材が、付加部材の側面と、凹部の内壁とに接する側面部を備えることもできる。すると、帯状装身具に衝撃が負荷されようとも、衝撃は内方緩衝部材に緩衝されて、付加部材の側面に伝わらない。よって、衝撃によって付加部材が破壊される危険が削減される。
【００２５】
また、本発明の請求項１７によれば、携帯者が帯状装身具を装着した場合に、帯状装身具における携帯者の肌に対向する外面に、付加部材が備えられる。
特に、付加部材が健康増進部品である場合、付加部材が発生する遠赤外線や磁力が、より効果的に携帯者の身体に作用する。たとえば、付加部材は帯状装身具の裏側に配置できる。
しかしながら、付加部材が装飾部品であるならば、帯状装身具の裏側ばかりではなく、表側など、別の箇所に配置してもよい。
【００２６】
また、本発明の請求項１８によれば、帯状装身具は腕時計であってもよい。
この場合、請求項１９に記載した通り、付加部材は、腕時計ケースの裏側の外面に備えられてもよい。たとえば、付加部材は、ケースの裏蓋に備えられてもよい。
【００２７】
また、帯状装身具が腕時計である場合、請求項２０に記載した通り、凹部の底面に、ケースの内側に貫通する貫通孔が形成されることが好ましい。
パッキンを介して透過保持部材を凹部内に水密に組み込むとき、透過保持部材とパッキンによって圧縮される凹部内の空気の反発力を受けて、透過保持部材が凹部内に組み込めない場合がある。このような場合、貫通孔を設ければ、透過保持部材とパッキンによって圧縮される凹部内の空気をケース内部に逃がすことができる。よって、透過保持部材が凹部内に容易に組み込まれる。
また、ケースの内側から付加部材を外方に押圧することにより、付加部材と透過保持部材を裏蓋から容易に外すことができる。この場合、貫通孔を通して付加部材を凹部より取り外し、ケースの内側から透過保持部材を外方に押圧しても、透過保持部材をケース、たとえばケースの裏蓋から容易に外すことができる。
さらに、貫通孔を通して、付加部材を容易に組み込めるばかりか、付加部材を容易に交換できる。
【００２８】
また、この場合、請求項２０に記載したように、貫通孔におけるケースの内側を向く開口部を塞ぐ固定部材を備えることが好ましい。すると、凹部内の付加部材がケース内部に向けて抜脱しないように、固定部材が付加部材を抑止する。
この場合、固定部材はねじなどの固定手段によって、貫通孔の開口部に対して着脱可能であることが好ましい。すると、固定部材を取り外すことにより、貫通孔を通して、付加部材を容易に交換できる。
【００２９】
また、この場合、請求項２２に記載したように、外方緩衝部材の側面部が、貫通孔におけるケースの内側を向く開口部より張り出す延出部を備えることもできる。すると、延出部を把持して外方緩衝部材を貫通孔より抜脱すれば、外方緩衝部材と共に付加部材を裏蓋から取り外すことができる。
【００３０】
また、本発明の請求項２３から２６によれば、たとえば、付加部材は、腕時計ケースのバンド連結部に備えられてもよい。
また、本発明は、付加部材を、中留、バンドの駒、腕時計ケースとバンドとの間に配置される中間連結部材、あるいはバンドとバンドとの間に連結される中間連結部材、さらにあるいはバンドと中留との間に連結される中間連結部材に備えることができる。
【００３１】
また、本発明の請求項２７によれば、健康増進部品が、遠赤外線発生部品、あるいは磁気発生部品の群から選ばれる１つである。
この場合、請求項２８に記載したように、健康増進部品が、トルマリン鉱石の粉末を含むセラミック成形部品である。
【００３２】
【発明の実施の形態】
（第１実施形態）
図１は本発明の第１実施形態による腕時計を裏側から見た分解斜視図、図２は腕時計の断面図である。
図１、および図２に示すように、本発明が適用された腕時計は、ケース１、風防２、文字板３、ムーブメント４、文字板３、およびムーブメント４をケースの段部５に押圧保持する金属製裏蓋６を有する。裏蓋６は、押圧部７の突起８がケース１の凹部１０に圧入することによりケースに固定される。
【００３３】
本実施形態は、健康増進部品又は装飾部品（以下総括して付加部材と称する）を裏蓋６に取付けるようにした実施形態を示す。
付加部材１１は、円板状を成す。そして、裏蓋の外面、詳しくは裏側の中央部に、付加部材１１と相似した円形の凹部１２が形成される。
図２に示すように、凹部１２は、段部１２ｃを備える段付きの凹部として形成される。すなわち、凹部１２の内側には、付加部材を収納するための有底の収納内凹部１２ａが形成される。収納内凹部１２ａの外側に連続して、収納内凹部１２ａより大径の外凹部１２ｂが形成される。よって、収納内凹部１２ａと外凹部１２ｂとの間に段部１２ｃが形成される。たとえば、収納内凹部１２ａと外凹部１２ｂとは、同心の円形を成す。収納内凹部１２ａは、付加部材１１の径より少し大きい径を有する。
【００３４】
付加部材１１を凹部１２内に取付けるには、まず付加部材１１が、凹部１２の収納内凹部１２ａに納められる。次いで、枠状、たとえばリング状のパッキン１５が、外凹部１２ｂの内周面に沿うように、かつ段部１２ｃに接するように挿入される。パッキン１５は、たとえば柔軟な合成樹脂よりなる。
そして、透過保持部材１４が、外凹部１２ｂ内に挿入される。透過保持部材１４は、たとえば透明な無機ガラス製の円板として形成される。
パッキン１５が、外凹部１２ｂの内周面と保持部材１４の外周面との間で圧縮されるように、透過保持部材１４は、パッキン１５の内側に圧入される。透過保持部材１４は、段部１２ｃに接するまで圧入される。よって、保持部材１４が、圧縮されたパッキン１５の弾発力により、外凹部１２ｂ内に保持される。
このように、パッキン１５を介在させた脱落防止手段によって、透過保持部材１４が凹部１２内に保持される。
結果、脱落防止手段によって保持された透過保持部材１４の内側、詳しくは収納内凹部１２ａ内に付加部材１１が保持される。
【００３５】
ここで、内側とは図面の上側、外側とは図面の下側を示す。内側とは、帯状装身具、たとえば腕時計を手首の巻回した状態において、腕時計における手首に接する側となる。外面、あるいは内面という表現も、これに準ずる。
【００３６】
透過保持部材１４は、光を透過させる透過性であるので、付加部材１１が装飾部品である場合は、付加部材１１は保持部材１４を通して視認される。
また、付加部材１１が健康増進部品である場合も、健康増進部品が、透過保持部材１４を通して視認されるので、購買者に健康増進部品の存在を知らしめて、購買者の購買意欲が促される。さらに、付加部材１１から発生する遠赤外線や磁力が、透過保持部材１４を通して携帯者の肌に作用する。
【００３７】
ここで、付加部材１１が装飾部品の時、その素材は、ステンレス、チタン、チタン合金、黄銅などの金属、七宝などのセラミック、天然繊維、合成繊維、皮革、写真や絵などの紙、コイン、あるいは合成樹脂やゴムなどの柔軟体などである。
健康増進部品としては、遠赤外線発生部品、あるいは永久磁石などの磁気発生部品などが採用される。
【００３８】
遠赤外線発生部品としては、たとえば、Ｓｉ３Ｎ４、Ｃ、ＴｉＯ２、ＭｇＯ、ＺｒＯ２、Ｆｅ（ＯＨ）２などの無機物を溶剤系のバインダーに練り込んで成形した成形部品を採用してもよい。あるいは、シリコンなどの液化樹脂と、麦飯石、蛇紋岩、角閃石、褐廉石、沸石、蛍石、フェルソング石などの多種類の鉱石を粉砕した微粉末鉱石とを混和させ、加熱処理を施してチップ状に成形した遠赤外線発生部品を採用してもよい。さらに、スギゴケ、ゼニゴケなどのコケ類植物を乾燥させ粉末状とした微粉末植物を加えて成形した部品を用いてもよい。
【００３９】
遠赤外線発生部品としては、たとえば、トルマリン鉱石の原石、トルマリン鉱石の粉末を含むセラミック成形部品、あるいはトルマリン鉱石の粉末を含む合成樹脂成形部品などを採用してもよい。
【００４０】
トルマリン鉱石の粉末を含むセラミック成形部品は、たとえば次のように製造される。セラミック微細中空粒子、およびトルマリン粉末を主構成材料とし、これに融剤となる材料を含むセラミックス組成物と水を加えて混練する。
次いで、混練された材料を、所定の型枠に打設して、加圧成形後、焼成すればよい。
【００４１】
融剤としては、たとえば、長石、石灰石、炭酸マグネシウム、リン酸石灰、酸化鉛、硼酸、硼砂、炭酸ソーダ、硝酸ソーダ、酸化亜鉛の群から選択される、いずれか１種または２種以上を添加する。
【００４２】
セラミックス組成物とは、Ｂ２Ｏ３、ＳｉＯ２、ＧｅＯ２、ＺｒＯ２、Ｐ２Ｏ５、Ａｓ２Ｏ５、Ｓｂ２Ｏ３、Ｂｉ２Ｏ３、Ｐ２Ｏ３、Ｓｂ２Ｏ５、ＳＯ３などの酸性酸化物に、Ｎａ２Ｏ、Ｋ２Ｏ、ＣａＯ、ＭｇＯなどの塩基性酸化物や、Ａｌ２Ｏ３、Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、ＺｎＯ、ＰｂＯ、ＴｉＯ２などを添加したものが含まれる。たとえば、ＳｉＯ２−Ｎａ２Ｏ−Ｂｉ２Ｏ３、ＳｉＯ２−Ｎａ２Ｏ−ＣａＯ、ＳｉＯ２−Ｋ２Ｏ−ＣａＯ、Ａｌ２Ｏ３−ＳｉＯ２−Ｎａ２Ｏ−ＣａＯ−Ｂ２Ｏ３、Ａｌ２Ｏ３−ＳｉＯ２−ＴｉＯ２−ＣａＯ−Ｂ２Ｏ３、ＣａＯ−ＳｉＯ２−Ａｌ２Ｏ３−Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、あるいはＳｉＯ２−Ａｌ２Ｏ３−Ｋ２Ｏなどの群Ａから選択される、少なくとも１種を使用する。あるいは、天然素材のカオリン、可塑性粘土（蛙目粘土、木節粘土、ボールクレー等）、セリサイト、陶石、ロウ石、ベントナイト、珪石、シャモット、長石、石灰石、マグネサイト、ドロマイト、珪灰石、滑石、骨灰などの群Ｂから選択される、いずれか１種または２種以上を配合して使用する。群ＡとＢからそれぞれ選択される、少なくとも１種を配合して使用してもよい。
【００４３】
トルマリン鉱石の粉末を含む合成樹脂成形部品としては、たとえば、シリコンなどの液化樹脂と、トルマリン鉱石の粉末とを混和させ、加熱処理を施してシート状に成形した部品を採用してもよい。
【００４４】
さて、保持状態においては、付加部材１１は完全に保持部材１４によって封止されているので外力により傷つくことはない。また、保持部材１４の下面は裏蓋６の下面と略同一面となり、保持部材の下面は裏蓋下面より突出することはないようになっている。これにより外力により保持部材が外れることなく、また腕時計の装着時に局部的圧接感がなく装着感を悪くすることはない。そして、パッキン１５による脱落防止手段により保持部材１４は確実に裏蓋の外凹部１２ｂ内に嵌合し、付加部材１１の保持が確保される。
【００４５】
（第２実施形態）
図３は、本発明の第２実施形態を示す断面図である。以下の説明において第１実施形態と同じ部材については、それと同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する場合がある。
この実施形態では、凹部１２の底面、すなわち内凹部１２ａにおける外方を向く外面に、ケースの内部に連通する貫通孔１７が裏蓋６に形成される。そこに段部１９が形成され、ここに付加部材１１が支持される。また、透過保持部材１４の外面と内面に、記号、マーク、絵柄、模様などよりなる装飾層１８が被覆されている。装飾層１８は、透過保持部材１４の外面と内面のうち、いずれか一方に形成されてもよい。
装飾層１８は、たとえば、印刷、塗装、あるいは蒸着などの乾式メッキなどの手段によって、透過保持部材１４の表面に被覆される。
あるいは、装飾層１８に換えて、装飾層１８と同様の形状を成す、記号、マーク、絵柄、模様などを表わす凹部が、エッチングやレーザーなどの手段で、透過保持部材１４の表面に刻印されてもよい。あるいはまた、装飾層１８と同様の形状を成す凹部が、プレスや射出成形などの手段で形成されてもよい。
【００４６】
本実施形態によれば、透過保持部材１４がパッキン１５を介して凹部１２内部に組み込まれるとき、透過保持部材１４によって凹部１２内で圧縮される空気をケース１内部に逃すことができる。これにより、組み込み作業が容易になるばかりか、かつ確実になる。
さらに、裏蓋６を外し、貫通孔１７より工具をいれて、付加部材１１及び保持部材１４を外方に押すことにより、付加部材１１及び保持部材１４を裏蓋６からから外すことができる。すると、付加部材１１を別の付加部材と交換することができる。
【００４７】
（第３実施形態）
図４は第３実施形態の一部を示す分解断面図、図５はその全体を示す断面図である。
本実施形態は、外部からの衝撃に対して、付加部材を保護しようとする形態である。
すなわち、図５に示すように、付加部材１１の外周を囲む環状の外方緩衝部材２０が設けられている。この外方緩衝部材２０は、合成樹脂又はゴム等の軟質な材料で作られた枠体を成す。外方緩衝部材２０には、表裏方向、すなわち図面の上下方向に貫通する開口部２０ｃが形成される。
詳しくは、外方緩衝部材２０は、付加部材１１の外周部に当接する外周部２０ａと、外周部２０ａより、開口部２０ｃの中心に向かって延出する、フランジ状の周縁部２０ｂとよりなる。周縁部２０ｂは、付加部材１１の外面の周縁部に被さって当接する。
【００４８】
図５に示すように、第１、および２実施形態と同じく、凹部１２ｂにパッキンを介して保持部材１４が取付けられる。よって、付加部材１１が凹部１２ａ内に保持される。
この状態において、外方緩衝部材２０の外周部２０ａは、凹部１２ａの内周面と、付加部材１１の外周面の間に位置して、両者に接する。また、外方緩衝部材２０の周縁部２０ｂは、付加部材１１の外面と、保持部材１４の内面の間に位置して、両者に接する。
【００４９】
そして、表裏方向に沿って外方から負荷される衝撃は、周縁部２０ｂによって緩衝される。また、半径方向の衝撃、すなわち図面の左右方向に沿って外方から負荷される衝撃は、外周部２０ａが受ける。
なお、外方緩衝部材には開口部２０ｃが形成されているが、この開口部２０ｃより付加部材１１が視認される。付加部材が装飾部品である場合は、装飾部品が視認されなければ、帯状装身具が装飾されないので、この開口部２０ｃは必須である。付加部材が健康増進部品である場合は、開口部２０ｃは無くともよい。
【００５０】
（第４実施形態）
図６は第４実施形態の一部を示す分解断面図、図７はその全体を示す断面図である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a band-shaped accessory such as a wristwatch, a bracelet, or a necklace, provided with an additional member such as a decorative component or a health promotion component.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART Band-shaped accessories to which additional members such as decorative parts or health promotion parts are attached are already known.
For example, as a decorative member for enhancing the decorativeness of a wristwatch, a nameplate attached to a case back is widely known. The nameplate is a plate made of a metal such as stainless steel or brass, or a material such as a synthetic resin, and having a pattern, a picture, or the like on the surface. The nameplate has been adhered to the outer surface of the back cover with an adhesive tape such as a double-sided tape or an adhesive.
[0003]
On the other hand, in recent years, components that generate far-infrared rays have been used as wristwatches as health-promoting components for improving the health of a wearer. By providing a health-promoting component such as a far-infrared ray generating component, a function as a health-promoting device other than the timing function is added to the wristwatch.
[0004]
Tourmaline is widely used as this health promotion part. Tourmaline, also known as tourmaline, generates moderate far-infrared rays for the human body with slight heating or pressurization. Furthermore, when water molecules in the atmosphere pass into the electric field of tourmaline generated by heating or pressurization, the water molecules are dissociated into hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions. This hydroxyl ion combines with a water molecule to become a negatively charged hydroxyl ion and floats in the atmosphere. Air containing this negative ion promotes health. As described above, tourmaline generates both far-infrared rays and negative ions, and thus is widely used as a health promotion component.
[0005]
Wristwatches are already available on the market, where tourmaline-containing components are glued to the outside of the case back.
In addition, it is known that a negative ion generating component including tourmaline is attached not only to the back cover but also to the clasp (see, for example, Patent Document 1). It is also known that a negative ion generating component and a magnet are alternately mounted on the back side of a band piece (for example, see Patent Document 2).
[0006]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 10-14624 (page 2, FIG. 1)
[Patent Document 2]
Registered Utility Model No. 3023559 (Page 2, FIG. 1)
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, decorative parts such as nameplates must be exposed and adhered to the outer surface of the wristwatch so that they can be seen by a purchaser or a wearer. Also, the health promotion parts are exposed and bonded to the outer surface of the wristwatch so that the far-infrared rays and magnetic force generated from these parts can be applied to the body of the wearer more effectively so as to contact the wearer's skin. There must be.
Therefore, careless external force is likely to be applied to these decorative parts and health-promoting parts, and as a result, these parts are damaged or extremely damaged. In particular, when the decorative parts and the health promotion parts are made of brittle materials such as ceramics and glass, these parts break very easily and frequently.
Further, there is a problem that the decorative part and the health promotion part are easily detached from the wristwatch due to careless load of external force.
[0008]
In addition, since both the decorative parts and the health promotion parts were directly adhered to the wristwatch, the production was troublesome and the production cost was increased. In addition, when the adhesive or the adhesive tape protruded, the beauty of the jewelry was greatly impaired.
However, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 do not disclose any means for solving these problems.
These problems also exist when attaching decorative parts and health-promoting parts to not only watches but also other belt-like accessories such as bracelets and necklaces.
[0009]
Therefore, a first object of the present invention is to provide a band-shaped ornament which does not damage or break an additional member such as a decorative part or a health promotion part.
A second object of the present invention is to provide a belt-shaped accessory to which an additional member such as a decorative component or a health promotion component is firmly attached.
A third object of the present invention is to provide a belt-shaped accessory to which an additional member is attached with a good appearance.
Further, a fourth object of the present invention is to provide a structure capable of inexpensively manufacturing a band-shaped accessory to which an additional member is attached.

In order to achieve this object, the band-shaped accessory according to claim 1 of the present invention includes an additional member disposed on the outer surface of the band-shaped accessory, a transparent holding member in contact with the outside of the additional member, and the transparent holding member falling off the band-shaped accessory. And means for preventing falling off.
According to this configuration, if the additional member is arranged on the outer surface of the belt-shaped accessory and the transparent holding member is put on the outside thereof, the transparent holding member does not fall off from the belt-shaped accessory by the drop-off prevention means. It is firmly held between the outer surface of the jewelry.
[0011]
Further, the additional member is protected from an unintended external force load by the transmission holding member, so that the additional member is not damaged or damaged.
When the additional member is a decorative component, the additional member is visually recognized through the transparent holding member.
When the additional member is a health-enhancing component, the health-enhancing component is not only visually recognized through the transparent holding member, but also the far-infrared rays and magnetic force generated from this component act on the skin of the wearer through the transparent holding member. .
Further, since it is not necessary to bond the additional member to the belt-shaped accessory, the beauty of the belt-shaped accessory is not impaired by the protrusion of the adhesive.
[0012]
Further, since this attaching operation is easy, a belt-shaped accessory having an additional member can be manufactured at low cost.
Here, the transparent holding member is a transparent or translucent member that allows the transparent holding member to be visually recognized, and is made of, for example, inorganic glass, organic glass, synthetic resin, rubber, ceramic, or the like.

Alternatively, a liquefied resin such as silicon is mixed with fine powder ore obtained by pulverizing various types of ores such as barley stone, serpentine, amphibolite, brown stone, zeolite, fluorite, and felsong stone. Alternatively, a far-infrared ray generating component formed into a chip shape by applying it may be adopted. Further, a part obtained by drying a moss plant such as Sugigoke or Zenigoke and adding a finely powdered plant formed into a powder form may be used.
[0015]
As the far-infrared ray generating component, for example, a tourmaline ore rough, a ceramic molded component containing tourmaline ore powder, or a synthetic resin molded component containing tourmaline ore powder may be used.
A ceramic molded part containing tourmaline ore powder is produced, for example, as follows. Ceramic fine hollow particles and tourmaline powder are used as main constituent materials, and a ceramic composition containing a material serving as a flux and water are added and kneaded. Next, the kneaded material may be cast into a predetermined mold, press-formed, and then fired.
As the flux, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of feldspar, limestone, magnesium carbonate, phosphate lime, lead oxide, boric acid, borax, sodium carbonate, sodium nitrate, and zinc oxide are added. I do.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
(1st Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a wristwatch according to a first embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the back, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the wristwatch.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in a wristwatch to which the present invention is applied, a case 1, a windshield 2, a dial 3, a movement 4, a dial 3, and a movement 4 are pressed and held on a step 5 of the case. It has a metal back cover 6. The back cover 6 is fixed to the case by pressing the projection 8 of the pressing portion 7 into the recess 10 of the case 1.
[0033]
This embodiment shows an embodiment in which a health promotion component or a decorative component (hereinafter, collectively referred to as an additional member) is attached to the back cover 6.
The additional member 11 has a disk shape. In addition, a circular concave portion 12 similar to the additional member 11 is formed on the outer surface of the back cover, specifically, in the central portion on the back side.
As shown in FIG. 2, the concave portion 12 is formed as a stepped concave portion having a step portion 12c. That is, inside the recess 12, a bottomed storage recess 12 a for storing the additional member is formed. An outer concave portion 12b having a larger diameter than the inner concave portion 12a is formed continuously outside the inner concave portion 12a. Therefore, a step 12c is formed between the inner recess 12a and the outer recess 12b. For example, the storage inner concave portion 12a and the outer concave portion 12b form a concentric circular shape. The storage recess 12 a has a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the additional member 11.
[0034]
In order to mount the additional member 11 in the recess 12, the additional member 11 is first placed in the recess 12 a in the housing of the recess 12. Next, a frame-shaped, for example, ring-shaped packing 15 is inserted along the inner peripheral surface of the outer concave portion 12b and in contact with the step portion 12c. The packing 15 is made of, for example, a flexible synthetic resin.
Then, the transmission holding member 14 is inserted into the outer concave portion 12b. The transmission holding member 14 is formed, for example, as a transparent inorganic glass disk.
The transmission holding member 14 is pressed into the packing 15 so that the packing 15 is compressed between the inner peripheral surface of the outer concave portion 12b and the outer peripheral surface of the holding member 14. The transmission holding member 14 is press-fitted until it comes into contact with the step portion 12c. Therefore, the holding member 14 is held in the outer recess 12b by the elastic force of the compressed packing 15.
In this manner, the transmission holding member 14 is held in the recess 12 by the drop-off prevention means with the packing 15 interposed.
As a result, the additional member 11 is held inside the transmission holding member 14 held by the drop-off preventing means, specifically, in the recess 12a inside the storage.
[0035]
Here, the inside indicates the upper side of the drawing, and the outside indicates the lower side of the drawing. The inside is the side in contact with the wrist of the wristwatch when the band-shaped accessory, for example, the wristwatch is wound around the wrist. The expression “outer surface” or “inner surface” follows this.
[0036]
Since the transparent holding member 14 is transparent to transmit light, when the additional member 11 is a decorative component, the additional member 11 is visually recognized through the holding member 14.
Also, when the additional member 11 is a health-promoting component, the health-promoting component is visually recognized through the transparent holding member 14, so that the purchaser is notified of the existence of the health-promoting component, and the purchaser is encouraged to purchase. Further, far infrared rays and magnetic force generated from the additional member 11 act on the skin of the wearer through the transmission holding member 14.
[0037]
Here, when the additional member 11 is a decorative part, the material is metal such as stainless steel, titanium, titanium alloy, brass, ceramics such as cloisonne, natural fibers, synthetic fibers, leather, paper such as photographs and pictures, coins, Alternatively, it is a flexible body such as synthetic resin or rubber.
As the health promotion component, a far-infrared ray generating component or a magnetic generating component such as a permanent magnet is used.
[0038]

[0040]
A ceramic molded part containing tourmaline ore powder is produced, for example, as follows. Ceramic fine hollow particles and tourmaline powder are used as main constituent materials, and a ceramic composition containing a material serving as a flux and water are added and kneaded.
Next, the kneaded material may be cast into a predetermined mold, press-formed, and then fired.
[0041]
As the flux, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of feldspar, limestone, magnesium carbonate, phosphate lime, lead oxide, boric acid, borax, sodium carbonate, sodium nitrate, and zinc oxide are added. I do.
[0042]
The ceramic composition is B 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , GeO 2 , ZrO 2 , P 2 O 5 , As 2 O 5 , Sb 2 O 3 , Bi 2 O 3 , P 2 O 3 , Sb 2 O 5 , SO 3 Acid oxides such as Na 2 O, K 2 Basic oxides such as O, CaO, and MgO, and Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , ZnO, PbO, TiO 2 And the like are included. For example, SiO 2 -Na 2 O-Bi 2 O 3 , SiO 2 -Na 2 O-CaO, SiO 2 -K 2 O-CaO, Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -Na 2 O-CaO-B 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -TiO 2 -CaO-B 2 O 3 , CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -Fe 2 O 3 Or SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -K 2 At least one selected from the group A such as O is used.

At least one selected from groups A and B may be blended and used.
[0043]
As a synthetic resin molded part containing tourmaline ore powder, for example, a part formed by mixing a liquefied resin such as silicon and tourmaline ore powder and subjecting to heat treatment to form a sheet shape may be used.
[0044]
Now, in the holding state, since the additional member 11 is completely sealed by the holding member 14, there is no damage by external force. In addition, the lower surface of the holding member 14 is substantially flush with the lower surface of the back cover 6, so that the lower surface of the holding member does not protrude from the lower surface of the back cover. Thereby, the holding member does not come off due to an external force, and there is no local pressure contact feeling when the wristwatch is worn, so that the wearing feeling is not deteriorated. Then, the holding member 14 is securely fitted into the outer concave portion 12b of the back cover by the falling-off prevention means by the packing 15, and the holding of the additional member 11 is ensured.
[0045]
