Are provided on the upper portions of the inner surfaces of the first both side portions 6b of the first connecting portion 6 with a gap inserted along the first connecting portion 6.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the pair of stopper portions 13 is in a state where the pair of guide protrusions 12 of the second connecting portion 7 is inserted into the pair of guide grooves 11 of the first connecting portion 6. When the pair of guide projections 12 move in the direction in which the first and second bands 1 and 2 overlap and are positioned at the upper ends of the pair of guide grooves 11, the pair of guide projections 12 become the pair of stoppers 13. It is comprised so that the upper limit position of the 2nd connection part 7 with respect to the 1st connection part 6 may be controlled by contact | abutting to the lower surface of this.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the second connecting portion 7 has the second projecting portion 8 b of the variable connecting portion 8 from the side in the longitudinal direction of the first and second bands 1 and 2. The pair of guide projections 12 provided between the lower surfaces of the pair of stopper portions 13 and the upper ends of the pair of guide grooves 11 are provided on the inserted second projection 8b. By being inserted into the pair of guide grooves 11 corresponding to the upper ends of the pair of guide grooves 11, the first and second bands 1 and 2 are attached to the first connecting portion 6 so as to be movable in the overlapping direction. It is configured as follows.

Next, the operation of such a watch band will be described.
First, the band pressing member 4 is attached to the end 1 a side of the first band 1, and the buckle 3 is attached to the end 1 a of the first band 1. At this time, before attaching the buckle 3, the band pressing member 4 is assembled in advance and attached to the end 1 a side of the first band 1.

  That is, when assembling the band pressing member 4, the spring members 9 are respectively disposed in the pair of guide grooves 11 of the guide portion 10 provided on the first both side portions of the first connecting portion 6. In this state, the pair of guide protrusions 12 provided on the second protrusions 8b of the second connecting part 7 is connected to the first connecting part 6 from the side in the longitudinal direction of the first and second bands 1 and 2. Are inserted between the lower surfaces of the pair of stopper portions 13 and the upper ends of the pair of guide grooves 11.

  The pair of guide protrusions 12 of the inserted second protrusion 8 b is inserted into the pair of guide grooves 11 so as to correspond to the upper ends of the pair of guide grooves 11 of the first connecting portion 6. As a result, the pair of guide protrusions 12 are arranged in elastic contact with the spring members 9 in the pair of guide grooves 11. In this state, the second connecting portion 7 is attached to the first connecting portion 6 so as to be movable in the direction in which the first and second bands 1 and 2 overlap, and the band pressing member 4 is assembled.

  When attaching the band pressing member 4 to the first band 1, the end 1 a of the first band 1 is inserted between the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 of the band pressing member 4. At this time, the first protrusions 8a of the first connecting portion 6 and the second protrusions 8b of the second connecting portion 7 are pushed away from each other by the spring forces of the pair of spring members 9 in the band pressing member 4. Yes.

  For this reason, the distance between the first connecting body 6a and the second connecting body 7a in the thickness direction of the first and second bands 1 and 2 is narrower than the overlapping thickness of the first and second bands 1 and 2. ing. In this case, since the distance between the first connection body 6 a and the second connection body 7 a is sufficiently wider than the thickness of the first band 1, the first band is between the first connection part 6 and the second connection part 7. 1 is inserted in a loose state with play. Thereby, the band pressing member 4 is attached to the first band 1.

  Thereafter, the buckle 3 is attached to the end 1 a of the first band 1. At this time, a pair of sticks 3c are arranged in the middle of the end 1a of the first band 1, and the mounting pin 3a is attached to the end 1a of the first band 1 in this state. As a result, the pair of sticks 3c are attached to the end 1a of the first band 1 by the attachment pins 3a. Then, the buckle body 3b is rotatably attached to both ends of the mounting pin 3a. As a result, the buckle 3 is attached to the end 1 a of the first band 1.

  As described above, the first band 1 to which the band pressing member 4 and the buckle 3 are attached and the second band 2 in which a plurality of stick holes 2b are provided in two rows along the longitudinal direction are connected to the wristwatch case (FIG. (Not shown). In this case, the end portion opposite to the end portion 1a of the first band is attached to the side portion on the 12 o'clock side of the watch case (both not shown). Similarly, an end portion opposite to the end portion 2a of the second band 2 is attached to a side portion on the 6 o'clock side of a watch case (none of which is shown). Thereby, a watch band is formed.

Next, a case where a wristwatch (not shown) is attached to an arm using such a watchband will be described.
In this case, first, a wristwatch case is arranged on the arm, and the first band 1 and the second band 2 are wound, and in this state, the end 2a side of the second band 2 and the end 1a side of the first band 1 Are attached with a buckle 3.

  At this time, the end 2a of the second band 2 is inserted into the buckle body 3b of the buckle 3 attached to the end 1a of the first band 1 and overlapped on the end 1a of the first band 1, The pair of sticks 3c are selectively inserted into any of a plurality of stick holes 2b provided in the second band 2. In this state, by pulling the first band 1 and the second band 2 along the longitudinal direction, the pair of sticks 3c abut against the buckle body 3b, and the first band 1 and the second band 2 are connected.

  In this state, the end 2a of the second band 2 is inserted into the band pressing member 4 while being superimposed on the upper side of the end 1a of the first band 1. At this time, since the retaining projection 5 is provided on the end 2 a side of the second band 2, the retaining projection 5 comes into pressure contact with the inner surface of the first connecting portion 6 of the band pressing member 4. That is, the band overlapping portion where the end portion 1a side of the first band 1 and the end portion 2a side of the second band 2 overlap is thickened by the protrusion length from which the retaining protrusion 5 protrudes. Yes.

  Further, the band pressing member 4 is configured such that the first projecting portion 8 a of the first connecting portion 6 and the second projecting portion 8 b of the second connecting portion 7 are pushed away from each other by the spring force of the spring member 9. The distance between the first connecting body 6a and the second connecting body 7a in the thickness direction of the first and second bands 1 and 2 is narrower than the overlapping thickness of the first and second bands 1 and 2.

  For this reason, when the retaining projection 5 of the second band 2 is inserted into the band presser member 4, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c), the retaining projection 5 makes the first projection. The connecting body 6a and the second connecting body 7a are pushed and spread against the spring force of the spring member 9. That is, when the retaining projection 5 is inserted into the band pressing member 4, the first projection 8a and the second projection 8b of the variable connecting portion 8 compress the spring member 9 and approach each other. The first connection body 6a and the second connection body 7a are pushed and spread against the spring force of the spring member 9.

  As a result, the band pressing member 4 elastically climbs over the retaining protrusion 5 and moves to the buckle 3 side, and is arranged at the band overlapping portion where the first and second bands 1 and 2 overlap. Then, the first projecting portion 8 a of the first connecting portion 6 and the second projecting portion 8 b of the second connecting portion 7 are pushed away from each other by the spring force of the spring member 9. For this reason, the first connecting body 6a of the first connecting part 6 and the second connecting body 7a of the second connecting part 7 approach each other, and the first and second bands 1 and 2 overlap each other. Pinch.

  Thereby, the end 1a side of the first band 1 and the end 2a side of the second band 2 are elastically pressed by the band pressing member 4 in a state where they overlap each other. Thereby, the watch band is attached to the arm. In this state, the band pressing member 4 does not inadvertently get over the retaining protrusion 5 and leave the band overlapping portion. For this reason, the watch band does not inadvertently come off from the arm and falls off, so that the watch band can be worn and used satisfactorily.

  Thus, according to this watch band, the ends 1a and 2a of the first and second bands 1 and 2 are attached to the overlapping portions of the bands, and the ends of the first and second bands 1 and 2 are attached. The band pressing member 4 that holds the portions 1a and 2a together is disposed on the end 2a side of the upper second band 2 in the band overlapping portion, and the lower first band 1 in the band overlapping portion. A second connecting portion 7 disposed on the end 1a side, and a variable connecting portion 8 that connects the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 2 so as to be displaceable in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion. As a result, it is possible to provide a product that is excellent in design and wearability and is easy to use.

  That is, in this watch band, the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 arranged at the band overlapping portion where the end portions 1a and 2a of the first and second bands 1 and 2 overlap each other are connected to the variable connecting portion. 8, the band holding member 4 can be formed of a hard material such as a metal, and even if formed of a hard material such as a metal, The presser member 4 can be reliably and satisfactorily attached to the band overlapping portion, thereby providing a design that is excellent in design and wearability and easy to use.

  In this case, of the first and second bands 1 and 2, the band end 2a of the second band is provided with a retaining protrusion 5 that increases the thickness of the second band 2. When the band overlapping portions of the end portions 1a and 2a of the first and second bands 1 and 2 are inserted into the band pressing member 4 and the retaining projection 5 has passed through the band pressing member 4, Since the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 can be displaced by the variable connecting portion 8 and the band overlapping portion can be sandwiched between the band pressing members 4, the band pressing member 4 is not prepared by the retaining protrusion 5. It is possible to prevent the band from being separated from the overlapping portion.

  The variable connecting portions 8 are provided on the first both side portions 6 b located on both sides of the first connecting portion 6 and protrude toward the outer surfaces of the second both side portions 7 b located on both sides of the second connecting portion 2. A first projecting portion 8a, a second projecting portion 8b provided on the second both side portions 7b of the second connecting portion 7 and projecting toward the inner surfaces of the first both side portions 6b of the first connecting portion 6, Even if the band pressing member 4 is made of a hard material such as metal, the first connecting portion 8a and the second protruding portion 8b are displaced in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion. 6 and the second connecting portion 7 can be reliably and favorably varied in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion.

  Further, in this watch band, the variable connecting portion 8 includes a spring member 9 that is a biasing member that biases the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 in the approaching direction. The first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 can be elastically pulled by the spring force of the member 9, thereby bringing the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 closer to each other and the first and second connecting portions 7. It is possible to elastically sandwich the overlapping band overlapping portion of the two bands 1 and 2.

  That is, the spring member 9 is disposed between the first protrusions 8a located on both sides of the first connecting part 6 and the second protrusions 8b located on both sides of the second connecting part 2, and the first The projection 8a and the second projection 8b are configured to be biased in a direction in which the projection 8a and the second projection 8b are pushed away from each other, whereby the first projection 8a and the second connection of the first connection unit 6 are caused by the spring force of the spring member 9. The second projecting portion 8b of the portion 7 can be pushed away, whereby the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 can be brought close to each other, so the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 Thus, the band overlapping portion where the first and second bands 1 and 2 overlap can be elastically sandwiched.

  Further, in this watch band, the variable connecting portion 8 includes the guide portion 10 that guides the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 along the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion, thereby providing the first connecting portion. When the portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 are displaced along the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion, the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 are in the longitudinal direction of the first and second bands 1 and 2. The first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 can be smoothly and satisfactorily displaced in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion by the guide portion 10 of the variable connecting portion 8.

  That is, the guide portion 10 includes a pair of guide grooves 11 provided along the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion in a state of being opposed to the first both side portions 6 b of the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7. 2 having a pair of guide protrusions 12 provided on both side portions 7b and inserted into the pair of guide grooves 11 and guided in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion, thereby the first connecting portion 6 The pair of guide protrusions 12 can be moved in the pair of guide grooves 11 when the second connecting portion 7 is displaced along the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion.

  For this reason, in the band pressing member 4, when the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 are displaced along the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion, the pair of guide protrusions 12 are disposed in the pair of guide grooves 11. By moving the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7, the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 7 are not displaced in the longitudinal direction of the first and second bands 1 and 2. Can be displaced smoothly and satisfactorily in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion.

  Further, in the band presser member 4, a pair of stopper portions 13 that regulate the upper limit position of the second connecting portion 7 are provided on the upper surface of each inner surface of the first both side portions 6 b of the first connecting portion 6. By bringing the pair of guide protrusions 12 into contact with the lower surfaces of the pair of stopper portions 13, the upper limit position of the second connection portion 7 with respect to the first connection portion 6 can be reliably and satisfactorily regulated. The guide protrusions 12 are separated from the pair of guide grooves 11, and the first connecting part 6 and the second connecting part 7 are displaced in the longitudinal direction of the first and second bands 1 and 2 and do not unnecessarily leave.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a watch band will be described with reference to FIGS. Also in this case, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the watch band has a configuration in which the band pressing member 30 is different from that of the first embodiment, and the configuration other than this is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the band pressing member 30 is a second member positioned on the upper side in the band overlapping portion where the ends 1 a and 2 a of the first band 1 and the second band 2 overlap each other. A first connecting portion 31 disposed on the end 2a side of the band 2, a second connecting portion 32 disposed on the end 1a side of the first band 1 located on the lower side in the band overlapping portion, and a first connection The variable connection part 33 which connects the part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 so that a displacement in the thickness direction of a band overlap part is included.

  In this case, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the first connecting portion 31 is formed in a flat plate shape disposed on the upper surface of the second band 32. The first connecting portion 31 is formed such that the length in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the second band 2 is slightly longer than the length in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal directions of the first and second bands 1 and 2. ing. Similarly to the first connecting portion 31, the second connecting portion 32 is also formed in a flat plate shape that is disposed on the lower surface of the first band 1. The second connecting portion 32 is formed to have the same length as that of the first connecting portion 31 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the first band 1.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the variable connecting portion 33 connects both side portions of the first connecting portion 31 and both side portions of the second connecting portion 32 so as to be elastically deformable in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion. A pair of elastic members 34 are provided. The pair of elastic members 34 are formed in a vertical plate shape by an elastic synthetic resin such as urethane resin.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the pair of elastic members 34 has a band overlapping portion whose length in the thickness direction (vertical length in FIG. 10B) is substantially the same as the thickness of the band overlapping portion. It is formed with a length. Further, the pair of elastic members 34 are provided with a plurality of cavities 34a therein, and are configured to be easily elastically deformed by the plurality of cavities 34a.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, a pair of first attachment protrusions that are bitely attached to the respective one end portions (upper end portions in FIG. 9) of the pair of elastic members 34 on both side portions of the first connecting portion 31. 35 are provided. The pair of first attachment protrusions 35 are provided with a plurality of attachment holes 35a. Further, a pair of second attachment protrusions 36 that are bitely attached to the other end portions (the lower end portions in FIG. 9) of the pair of elastic members 34 are provided on both side portions of the second connection portion 32, respectively. . A plurality of attachment holes 36 a are also provided in the pair of second attachment protrusions 36.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the pair of elastic members 34 bite into the respective one end portions (upper end portions in FIG. 9) of the first connecting portions 31 by insert molding. At the same time, the elastic member 34 is integrally formed in the plurality of mounting holes 35a of the first mounting projection 35.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the pair of elastic members 34 has a pair of second attachment protrusions 36 of the second connecting portion 32 at each other end (lower end in FIG. 9) by insert molding. The elastic member 34 is formed integrally with the plurality of attachment holes 36 a of the second attachment protrusion 36 while biting in.

Next, the operation of such a band retainer 30 for a watch band will be described.
When manufacturing the band pressing member 30, the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 are arranged in a molding die, and an elastic material is injected into the die. And it can be manufactured easily. At this time, the first connection portion 31 and the second connection portion are connected in a state where the pair of first attachment protrusion portions 35 of the first connection portion 31 and the pair of second attachment protrusion portions 36 of the second connection portion 32 face each other. The part 32 is placed in a molding die.

  In this state, when an elastic material is injected into the mold, the elastic material covers the pair of first attachment projections 35 and fills the plurality of attachment holes 35 a provided in the pair of first attachment projections 35. The At this time, the elastic material covers the pair of second attachment projections 36 and fills the plurality of attachment holes 36 a provided in the pair of second attachment projections 36. Thereby, a pair of elastic member 34 is integrally formed with the 1st connection part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 by insert molding.

  The band pressing member 30 is attached to the first band 1 as in the first embodiment. At this time, the pair of elastic members 34 is contracted to a natural free state and attached to the first band 1 in this state. In this state, when the end 2a of the second band 2 is inserted into the band pressing member 30 while being superimposed on the upper side of the end 1a of the first band 1, the pair of elastic members 34 elastically extend. Thus, the end 2a of the second band 2 is inserted into the band pressing member 30 while overlapping the upper side of the first band 1 on the end 1a side.

  In this case, when the retaining protrusion 5 provided on the end 2 a side of the second band 2 is inserted into the band pressing member 30, a pair of elastic members is formed according to the protruding length of the retaining protrusion 5. When the member 34 is further elastically extended, the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 are pushed and expanded. Thereby, since the space | interval of the 1st connection part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 becomes wide, the 1st connection part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 get over the securing protrusion part 5 of the 2nd band 2. As shown in FIG.

  Thus, when the band pressing member 30 gets over the retaining protrusion 5 and is disposed at the band overlapping portion located on the buckle 3 side, the pair of elastic members 34 contracts so as to return to the original shape. For this reason, the 1st connection part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 approach, and sandwich the 1st band 1 and the 2nd band 2 in the thickness direction elastically. As a result, the band pressing member 30 does not inadvertently get over the retaining protrusion 5 and detach from the band overlapping portion, as in the first and second embodiments. For this reason, the watch band does not inadvertently come off from the arm and falls off, so that the watch band can be worn and used satisfactorily.

  As described above, according to the band holding member 30 of the watch band, the first connecting portion 31 disposed on the end 2a side of the upper second band 2 in the band overlapping portion and the lower first portion in the band overlapping portion. Since the 2nd connection part 32 arrange | positioned at the edge part 1a side of 1 band 1 can be connected to the thickness direction of a band overlap part by the variable connection part 33 so that a displacement is possible, it is design like 1st Embodiment. It is possible to provide a product that is easy to use, has good wearability, and is easy to use.

  Therefore, in the band holding member 30 of the watch band, the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 can be formed of a hard material such as metal, and the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 are formed. And the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 can be reliably and well pressed against the band overlapping portion and mounted, even if formed of a hard material such as metal. Similarly, it is possible to provide a product that is excellent in design, wearability, and usability.

  In this case, of the first and second bands 1 and 2, the band protrusion 2a of the second band has a retaining protrusion 5 that increases the thickness of the second band 2 as in the first embodiment. Is provided so that the band overlapping portions of the end portions 1a and 2a of the first and second bands 1 and 2 are inserted into the band pressing member 30, and the retaining projection 5 is connected to the band pressing member 30. When passing through, the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 can be displaced by the variable connecting portion 33 so that the band overlapping portion can be sandwiched between the band pressing members 30. It is possible to prevent the band pressing member 30 from inadvertently leaving the band overlapping portion.

  The variable connecting portion 33 includes a pair of elastic members 34 that connect both side portions of the first connecting portion 31 and both side portions of the second connecting portion 32 so as to be elastically deformable in the thickness direction of the band overlapping portion. Thus, when the end 2a of the second band 2 is inserted into the band pressing member 30 while being superimposed on the upper side of the end 1a of the first band 1, the pair of elastic members 34 are elastically extended. The end 2a of the two bands 2 can be easily inserted into the band pressing member 30 while being superimposed on the upper side of the first band 1 on the end 1a side.

  That is, in the variable connecting portion 33, when the end 2a of the second band 2 is inserted into the band pressing member 30 while being on the upper side of the end 1a of the first band 1, When the retaining projection 5 provided on the end 2a side is inserted into the band presser member 30, the pair of elastic members 34 are further elastically extended according to the projecting length of the retaining projection 5. The 1st connection part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 can be expanded reliably and favorably.

  Thereby, in this variable connection part 33, since the space | interval of the 1st connection part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 becomes wide, the 1st connection part 31 and the 2nd connection part 32 are the protrusion protrusions of the 2nd band 2. Since the pair of elastic members 34 are retracted to return to the original shape when the band pressing member 30 gets over the retaining protrusion 5, the first connecting portion 31 and the first connecting portion 31 can be easily moved over the portion 5.
