Description

  The present invention relates to a watch band generally used for a wrist watch, and more particularly to a high-grade leather watch band.

  Conventionally, the structure of a leather watch band that is generally used is a synthetic resin formed in the shape of a band between leather pieces to overlap natural leather pieces or synthetic leather pieces. A band substrate, which is a core member, has been inserted (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 52-160367 (5th page, FIG. 3) As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the watch band disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a watch mounting end 10 having a thickness, and others. A central core member 12 made of a synthetic resin that is thinly formed as it goes to the end 11 is formed, and a crocodile is formed so that an opening is formed at the center of the back surface (the surface that contacts the arm when carried) of the central core member 12. Covered with a surface member 13 made of natural leather such as lizard. And the back surface member 14 which consists of synthetic leather etc. is stuck on a back surface so that the opening part of the back surface of the said core member 12 may be plugged up. Although natural leather may be used for the back member 14, there is a problem of allergies. Therefore, when natural leather is used, it is better to apply some treatment to the surface, such as applying a film. This watch band structure is generally referred to as tailoring and is used in many leather band structures. The structure in which the face material is turned over from the front surface to the back surface has a high quality and excellent appearance even when viewed from the side.

  Further, in the conventional example shown in FIG. 6, the back surface member 14 is turned back from the back surface of the core member 12 to the surface to form an opening, and the opening is covered with the surface member 13 and joined. The watch band is configured by This watch band structure is generally called French tailoring and has been used as a high-quality watch band since ancient times. If natural leather is used only for the surface member 13, the area for using natural leather can be reduced, which saves resources (ecology) of natural leather such as crocodiles and lizards and helps to reduce costs. Further, by using a material having a soft feeling for the core member 12, a soft feeling can be sufficiently obtained.

  Furthermore, in the conventional example shown in FIG. 7, the edge processing is performed on the edge surface (side surface). In general, the edge treatment is a treatment for suppressing fluffing on the edge surface (side surface), and an edge treatment agent that makes the edge surface on which the core member 12 is exposed hardly breaks and has a beautiful gloss is used. The color tone of the edge-treated surface 15 is preferably aligned with the color tone of the surface member 13. The structure of this watch band is generally called tail processing, and it was a low-priced version in the old days, but in recent years it is a structure often seen as a high-end watch band. Even if a surface member made of natural leather such as crocodile or lizard is used only on the surface, a high-class feeling is possible due to the specifications of the edge treatment technology and edge treatment agent, and a material having a soft feeling is used for the core member 12 In this way, a better soft feeling can be realized. By making the color tone of the surface member 13 substantially the same as the color tone of the edge processing surface 15, the color tone is harmonized and there is no sense of incongruity.

The watch band shown in FIG. 5 has a structure in which natural leather such as a crocodile, lizard or the like is used as the surface member 13 so that the natural leather as the surface member 13 is turned over. ) Has a difficulty, and a gap is generated between the arm and the case (back cover) when the watch is worn without fitting the arm. Moreover, since the area where the surface member 13 is used is large, the cost is increased, and at the same time, resource saving (ecology) is not realized. Furthermore, there is a fatal problem that the natural leather portion located at the turn-back portion is cracked and easily broken.

  In addition, the conventional example shown in FIG. 6 is originally intended to be a band using leather (natural, synthetic) having functions such as flexibility (softness), waterproofing, and antiperspirant treatment on the back member 14. For example, when using leather raised to make it supple, fluffing becomes noticeable at the turn-back portion 14a (side surface), and there is a problem of material restriction that it cannot be used for the back member 14.

  Furthermore, the conventional example shown in FIG. 7 can make the color tone of the surface of the surface member 13 and the color tone of the edge-treated surface 15 subjected to the edge treatment substantially the same, but the surface member 13, the core member 12, Since the back member 14 is exposed, in order to align the shape as a band, the front member 13 and the back member 14 are bonded to the core member 12 and the edge processing is performed after the shape is adjusted by cutting or the like. Therefore, the processing liquid often protrudes from the front surface member 13 and the back surface member 14, and post-processing is indispensable.

  The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its purpose is to use natural leather on the surface to give a high-class feeling and to use a soft material for the core member to give a soft feeling. . Furthermore, the back surface member has a two-layer structure, and provides a watch band made of high-quality leather that has excellent appearance quality and is free from cracks and has excellent familiarity.

  In order to achieve the above object, the timepiece band according to the present invention is a timepiece band in which a front surface member and a back surface member are joined to a core member, the back surface member has a two-layer structure, and the first back surface member is the core member. An opening is formed by turning back from the back surface to the surface, the opening is closed with the surface member, and the second back member is attached to the bottom surface of the first back member.

  Further, the color tone of the first back surface member is matched with the color tone of the front surface member.

    Further, the color tone of the first back surface member is adjusted to the color tone of the front surface member, and the second back surface member is made of leather having a function.

  Further, the first back member is subjected to edge processing.

  Moreover, the color tone of the edge processing part which performed the edge process to the said 1st back surface member was match | combined with the color tone of the said surface member.

  Further, the color tone of the edge processing portion applied to the first back surface member is adjusted to the color tone of the front surface member, and the second back surface member is made of leather having a function.

  Since the watch band of the present invention uses natural leather on the surface, it maintains a high-class feeling. Further, since the leather (natural or synthetic) having a function such as flexibility is disposed on the turning surface, it has no cracks and has flexibility (familiarity). In addition, it is possible to provide a high-quality leather watch band that does not have a sense of incongruity in the color tone of each member forming the band and has excellent appearance quality.

  The watch band of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 relate to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a partial cross section of one watch band, and FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of FIG. 1 and 2, the watch band is obtained by laminating and attaching a back member to the French tailoring described in the conventional example. That is, a core member includes a surface member 1 made of natural leather such as a crocodile and a lizard, and a back member 2 made of leather (natural, synthetic) having functions such as flexibility, raising, waterproofing and antiperspirant treatment. 5 is constructed.
The back member 2 has a two-layer structure of a first back member 3 and a second back member 4. Finally, sewing is performed so that the back surface member 2 is inserted from the front surface member 1 and stitches (not shown) are inserted, or the bonded portion is bonded with a known adhesive or the like to complete the band.

  The first back surface member 3 uses leather having a function having flexibility, and forms an opening by turning back from the back surface of the core member 5 to the surface. It arrange | positions so that it may block with the member 1. FIG. Therefore, the surface member 1 made of natural leather or the like is used on the surface of the band, and the surface member 1 is not located on the side surface. If the first back surface member 3 has substantially the same color as the color tone of the surface of the front surface member 1, the color tone of the turn-back portion 3a and the surface member 1 can be harmonized. Further, the second back member 4 is attached to the bottom surface of the first back member 3. The second back member 4 is made of leather having a function such as raising to improve the wearing feeling.

  In other words, the first back surface member 3 has both color tone and functionality by using leather with priority on color tone and flexibility, and the second back surface member 4 with leather with priority on function. It becomes possible to make a band.

In the watch band having the above-described configuration, the surface member 1 satisfies a high-grade feeling with natural leather such as a crocodile and a lizard, and at the same time, the surface member 1 is not positioned on the side surface, so that cracks and the like are unlikely to occur. Since the first back surface member 3 that gives priority to color tone and has flexibility is turned back to the surface, the color tone of the visually recognizing portion 3 a is in harmony with the color tone of the surface member 1. Furthermore, since the first back surface member 3 is flexible, it fits to the arm, that is, there is no gap between the arm and the case (back cover) when the watch is worn. Further, the back surface of the second back surface member 4 (the surface that comes into contact with the arm when being carried) is made of leather having a function, for example, to provide a fit. If the leather which gave raising etc. is used for the 2nd back surface member 4, since the turnover part 3a is the 1st back surface member 3 and is not the 2nd back surface member 4, that is, it is not raising, Thus, fuzz does not become conspicuous. Furthermore, by using the core member 5 having a soft feeling, the soft feeling can be more fully exhibited.
That is, it is possible to provide a high-quality leather band that has a high-class feeling and flexibility, does not crack, and fits (fits) with the arm when carried.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a watch band according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the watch band is obtained by attaching a back member to the French tailoring described in the conventional example and further performing edge processing. That is, the difference from Example 1 described above is that the edge processing is performed on the first back surface member 3, and the color tone of the edge processing portion 6 is made substantially the same as the color tone of the surface of the surface member 1.

In the watch band having the above-described configuration, the surface member 1 used on the surface is made of natural leather or the like, as in the first embodiment, and the side surface of the first back member 3 is a cover of the same color as the surface member 1. Since the processing is performed, the color tone is further harmonized with that of the first embodiment.
In addition, in this structure, since it is not necessary to arrange | equalize the shape of a side surface like the prior art example, the edge process can be previously performed to the 1st back surface member 3 before joining of each member. That is, the edge processing can be performed wider than the portion located on the side surface. This means that even if the edge treatment agent spreads (protrudes) on the front surface or the back surface, it is hidden by the front surface member 1 or the second back surface member 4 and therefore does not protrude. In addition, the use of the core member 5 made of a soft material increases the flexibility of the leather band and fits the arm when it is carried. Therefore, similarly to Example 1, it is possible to provide a high-quality leather band excellent in appearance quality free from cracks at low cost.
Needless to say, there is no problem even if leather having functions such as raising, waterproofing, and sweatproofing is used for the surface member.
Moreover, there is no problem even if a material having the same function is used for the front member and the back member without using leather.

  As described above, the watch band of the present invention is a leather band having a structure in which the back member has a two-layer structure, and is excellent in appearance, flexibility (familiarity), cracks, price, technical difficulty, and resource. It is possible to provide high quality leather bands to the market.

It is a perspective view which shows the partial cross section of one timepiece band which concerns on Example 1 of this invention. FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of FIG. 1. It is a fragmentary perspective view which shows the partial cross section of the timepiece band which concerns on Example 2 of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the partial cross section of one conventional timepiece band. FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of FIG. 4. It is a fragmentary perspective view which shows the partial cross section of another conventional timepiece band. Furthermore, it is a fragmentary perspective view which shows the partial cross section of the conventional timepiece band.
