また、本実施形態では、連結部材４の補強部４２は、バンド３側における断面積が腕時計ケース２側における断面積よりも小さくなるように構成されている。
図１１（ａ）は、補強部４２の図９における一点鎖線XIIで示す部分（バンド３側の部
分）の断面図であり、図１１（ｂ）は、補強部４２の図９における一点鎖線XIIIで示す部分（腕時計ケース２側の部分）の断面図である。
本実施形態では、補強部４２は、バンド３側の方が腕時計ケース２側よりも高さが低くなっているため、図１１（ａ）及び図１１（ｂ）に示すように、バンド３側における断面積（図１１（ａ）に示す部分の面積）が、腕時計ケース２側における断面積（図１１（ｂ）に示す部分の面積）よりも小さくなっている。補強部４２の断面積は、腕時計ケース２側からバンド３側に向かって無段階的に小さくなっていてもよいし、段階的に断面積が小さくなっていてもよい。
なお、補強部４２のバンド３側における断面積を腕時計ケース２側における断面積よりもどの程度小さくするかは特に限定されないが、補強部４２の強度等の観点からは、バンド３側における断面積が腕時計ケース２側における断面積の３分の２程度であることが好ましい。 Moreover, in this embodiment, the reinforcement part 42 of the connection member 4 is comprised so that the cross-sectional area in the band 3 side may become smaller than the cross-sectional area in the wristwatch case 2 side.
11A is a cross-sectional view of the portion indicated by the alternate long and short dash line XII in FIG. 9 of the reinforcing portion 42 (portion on the band 3 side), and FIG. 11B is the alternate long and short dash line XIII of the reinforcing portion 42 in FIG. It is sectional drawing of the part shown by (the part by the side of the watch case 2).
In the present embodiment, the reinforcing portion 42 is lower on the band 3 side than on the wristwatch case 2 side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11A and FIG. Is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side (the area of the part shown in FIG. 11B). The cross-sectional area of the reinforcing portion 42 may decrease steplessly from the watch case 2 side toward the band 3 side, or the cross-sectional area may decrease stepwise.
It should be noted that there is no particular limitation on how much the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing portion 42 on the band 3 side is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side, but from the viewpoint of the strength of the reinforcing portion 42, the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side. Is preferably about two-thirds of the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side.

次に、本実施形態におけるバンド取付構造の作用について説明する。
本実施形態において、腕時計ケース２とバンド３と連結部材４とは、連結部分において、腕時計ケース２の棒受け孔２７とバンド３の貫通孔３１と連結部材４の貫通孔４３とにばね棒５を挿通させることにより連結されている。
具体的には、まず、連結部材４を、接触部４１が腕時計ケース２の裏面側に接触するとともに、補強部４２の凸部４４が形成されている側が腕時計ケース２側に位置するように配置して、連結部材４の補強部４２を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部２６の切り欠き部２８に嵌め込む。次に、バンド３の連結部３１を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部２６に嵌め込む。このとき、連結部３１の切り欠き部３３に連結部材４の補強部４２が嵌め込まれる。このように、腕時計ケース２とバンド３との間に連結部材４を介在させた状態で、腕時計ケース２の棒受け孔２７とバンド３の貫通孔３１と連結部材４の貫通孔４３とを貫くようにばね棒５を挿通させる。これにより、バンド３が腕時計ケース２に取り付けられる。 連結部材４の補強部４２の凸部４４がバンド取付部２６の切り欠き部２８に嵌め込まれていることにより、バンド３は、腕時計ケース２に取り付けられた状態において、ある程度上下方向への回動が規制される。また、補強部４２におけるバンド３側の断面積が腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりも小さいことにより、腕時計１を腕に装着した際、バンド３が、腕時計ケース２に対しては強固に連結された状態を保ちながら、腕の動き等に応じて柔軟に撓り、腕にフィットする。
なお、同じ形状で色や柄等の異なる連結部材４を複数種類用意すれば、ユーザが適宜好みの色や柄の連結部材４を選んで連結部分に取り付けることにより、デザインのバリエーションを手軽に楽しむことも可能である。 Next, the effect | action of the band attachment structure in this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the present embodiment, the watch case 2, the band 3 and the connecting member 4 are connected to the rod receiving hole 27 of the watch case 2, the through hole 31 of the band 3, and the through hole 43 of the connecting member 4 at the connecting portion. It is connected by inserting.
Specifically, first, the connecting member 4 is arranged so that the contact portion 41 contacts the back side of the watch case 2 and the side on which the convex portion 44 of the reinforcing portion 42 is formed is located on the watch case 2 side. Then, the reinforcing portion 42 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch portion 28 of the band attaching portion 26 of the watch case 2. Next, the connecting portion 31 of the band 3 is fitted into the band attaching portion 26 of the watch case 2. At this time, the reinforcing portion 42 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch 33 of the connecting portion 31. In this way, with the connecting member 4 interposed between the watch case 2 and the band 3, the rod receiving hole 27 of the watch case 2, the through hole 31 of the band 3, and the through hole 43 of the connecting member 4 are penetrated. Then, the spring bar 5 is inserted. Thereby, the band 3 is attached to the watch case 2. Since the convex portion 44 of the reinforcing portion 42 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch portion 28 of the band attachment portion 26, the band 3 can be rotated up and down to some extent when attached to the watch case 2. Is regulated. Further, since the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side of the reinforcing portion 42 is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side, the band 3 is firmly connected to the wristwatch case 2 when the wristwatch 1 is attached to the wrist. While keeping the state, it flexes flexibly according to the movement of the arm and fits the arm.
In addition, if a plurality of types of connecting members 4 having the same shape and different colors and patterns are prepared, the user can easily enjoy variations of the design by selecting the connecting members 4 having a desired color and pattern as appropriate and attaching them to the connecting portions. It is also possible.

以上のように、本実施形態によれば、腕時計ケース２とバンド３との連結部分に、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３にその裏面側から接触する接触部４１と、該接触部４１における腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の裏面側に接触する面から腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の表面側に向かって立設された補強部４２とを備える連結部材４を配置し、連結部材４の補強部４２が腕時計ケース２の切り欠き部２８及びバンド３の切り欠き部３３に嵌め込まれるようになっている。
腕時計１のように、腕時計ケース２（本体ケース）にバンド３が連結されたものを腕に装着する場合、腕時計ケース２とバンド３との連結部分では、腕時計ケース２やバンド３と腕との間に隙間ができ、バンド３等が腕から浮いてしまいやすい。
この点、本実施形態におけるバンド取付構造のように、腕時計ケース２からバンド３にかけて、その連結部分を裏面側から覆うように接触部４１を配置した場合には、ユーザが腕時計１を腕に装着した際に、腕時計ケース２とバンド３との連結部分にできる隙間を接触部４１が埋めるため、バンド３等が腕にフィットし、腕時計１の付け心地が向上する。また、接触部４１に立設された補強部４２が腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の切り欠き部２８、３３に嵌め込まれているため、腕の動き等によってバンド３が動いても、接触部４１が捩れたり撚れたりしにくく、バンド３等が腕から浮くのを防止して、フィット感を維持することができる。
また、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３に形成されている切り欠き部２８、３３は、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の裏面側から表面側に貫通しており、連結部材４の補強部４２の上端部４２ａは、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の表面側に露出している。これにより、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の連結部分におけるデザインの自由度を高め、デザイン性を向上させることができる。例えば、腕時計ケース２やバンド３が黒色の場合に、赤色の連結部材４を配置すれば、腕時計ケース２とバンド３との連結部分に赤色の補強部４２の上端部４２ａを腕時計１の表面に出すことができ、デザインのアクセントにすることができる。また、腕時計１にコンパス機能等が付いている場合に、赤色等の目立つ色の補強部４２を腕時計１における１２時側、６時側のほぼ中央に露出させることで、当該腕時計１の向いている方向を示す指標として用いることもできる。
また、本実施形態では、連結部材４の補強部４２に、棒状部材としてのばね棒５を挿通させる貫通孔４３を形成して、腕時計ケース２とバンド３と連結部材４とを、１本のばね棒５によって連結している。これにより、バンド３の連結に必要な部材が少なくてすむとともに、バンド３及び連結部材４の着脱が容易となっている。このため、ユーザ自身で適宜バンド３及び連結部材４の着脱を行うことができ、例えば、好みに応じて連結部材４を色の異なるものに交換する等により、デザインのバリエーションを簡易に楽しむことも可能となる。
また、連結部材４の補強部４２は、腕時計ケース２側における断面積よりもバンド３側における断面積が小さくなるように構成されている。これにより、腕時計ケース２側においては、接触部４１をしっかりと支えることができるとともに、バンド３側では、腕やバンド３の動きに柔軟に対応することができ、ユーザが腕時計１を腕に装着した際に、より優れたフィット感を得ることができる。
また、本実施形態では、連結部材４がポリウレタン等の軟質の合成樹脂で形成されているため、腕時計１を腕に装着した際、接触部４１が腕との間の隙間を埋めるように適度に変形してフィット感を高めることができる。また、連結部材４が軟質の合成樹脂で形成されていることにより、腕時計ケース２やバンド３の下面側からの衝撃を連結部材４によって緩和あるいは吸収することができ、耐衝撃性にも優れている。
さらに、本実施形態では、接触部４１は、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の裏面の形状に沿うように、側面視において全体が緩やかにカーブしている。このため、この接触部４１が腕の形状に自然に馴染み、よりフィット感を得ることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the contact portion 41 that contacts the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3 from the back side of the connecting portion between the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3, and the wristwatch case 2 in the contact portion 41. And a connecting member 4 including a reinforcing part 42 erected from the surface contacting the back side of the band 3 toward the front side of the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3, and the reinforcing part 42 of the connecting member 4 is the watch case. 2 and the cutout portion 33 of the band 3 are fitted.
When the wristwatch case 2 (main body case) connected to the band 3 is attached to the arm like the wristwatch 1, the wristwatch case 2 or the band 3 and the arm are connected at the connecting portion between the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3. There is a gap between them, and the band 3 etc. tends to float from the arm.
In this regard, when the contact portion 41 is arranged so as to cover the connecting portion from the back surface side from the watch case 2 to the band 3 as in the band mounting structure in the present embodiment, the user wears the watch 1 on the arm. In this case, since the contact portion 41 fills a gap formed at the connecting portion between the watch case 2 and the band 3, the band 3 or the like fits on the arm, and the wearing comfort of the watch 1 is improved. Further, since the reinforcing portion 42 erected on the contact portion 41 is fitted into the notches 28 and 33 of the watch case 2 and the band 3, even if the band 3 moves due to the movement of the arm or the like, the contact portion 41 does not move. It is difficult to twist or twist, and it is possible to prevent the band 3 and the like from floating from the arm and maintain a fit.
Further, the notches 28 and 33 formed in the watch case 2 and the band 3 penetrate from the back surface side to the front surface side of the watch case 2 and the band 3, and the upper end portion 42 a of the reinforcing portion 42 of the connecting member 4. Are exposed on the surface side of the watch case 2 and the band 3. Thereby, the freedom degree of the design in the connection part of the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3 can be increased, and the design can be improved. For example, when the wristwatch case 2 or the band 3 is black and the red connecting member 4 is disposed, the upper end portion 42 a of the red reinforcing portion 42 is connected to the surface of the wristwatch 1 at the connecting portion between the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3. It can be put out and used as an accent for the design. Further, when the wristwatch 1 has a compass function or the like, the reinforcing portion 42 of a conspicuous color such as red is exposed at the approximate center of the wristwatch 1 at the 12 o'clock side and the 6 o'clock side, so that the wristwatch 1 is oriented. It can also be used as an index indicating the direction in which it is present.
Further, in the present embodiment, a through hole 43 through which the spring bar 5 as a rod-like member is inserted is formed in the reinforcing portion 42 of the connecting member 4, and the watch case 2, the band 3, and the connecting member 4 are connected to one piece. The spring bars 5 are connected. Thereby, the number of members required for connecting the band 3 can be reduced, and the band 3 and the connecting member 4 can be easily attached and detached. For this reason, the user can attach and detach the band 3 and the connecting member 4 as appropriate. For example, the user can easily enjoy variations in design by replacing the connecting member 4 with a different color according to his / her preference. It becomes possible.
Further, the reinforcing portion 42 of the connecting member 4 is configured such that the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side. As a result, the wristwatch case 2 side can firmly support the contact portion 41, and the band 3 side can flexibly respond to the movement of the arm and the band 3, and the user wears the wristwatch 1 on the arm. When this is done, a better fit can be obtained.
In the present embodiment, since the connecting member 4 is formed of a soft synthetic resin such as polyurethane, when the wristwatch 1 is mounted on the arm, the contact portion 41 is appropriately set so as to fill a gap between the arm and the arm. Deformation can enhance the fit. Further, since the connecting member 4 is formed of a soft synthetic resin, the impact from the lower surface side of the watch case 2 or the band 3 can be reduced or absorbed by the connecting member 4, and the impact resistance is excellent. Yes.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the entire contact portion 41 is gently curved in a side view so as to follow the shape of the back surface of the watch case 2 and the band 3. For this reason, this contact part 41 naturally adapts to the shape of an arm, and can obtain a feeling of fitting more.

［第２の実施の形態］
次に、図１２（ａ）及び図１２（ｂ）を参照しつつ、本発明に係るバンド取付構造の第２の実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態は、連結部材の構成のみが第１の実施形態と異なるものであるため、以下においては、特に第１の実施形態と異なる点について説明する。 [Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the band mounting structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b). In addition, since this embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in the configuration of the connecting member, in the following, differences from the first embodiment will be particularly described.

図１２（ａ）は、本実施形態における連結部材を上方から見た平面図であり、図１２（ｂ）は、図１２（ａ）に示す連結部材の側面図である。
図１２（ａ）及び図１２（ｂ）に示すように、本実施形態において連結部材４の補強部４６は、第１の実施形態と同様に、バンド３側の高さが腕時計ケース２側の高さよりも低くなっている。さらに、本実施形態では、腕時計ケース２側における幅方向（図１２（ａ）において横方向、連結部材４を腕時計ケース２とバンド３との間に配置した際のバンド３の幅方向）の厚みよりもバンド３側における幅方向の厚みが薄くなる、上面視においてほぼ台形状に形成されている。
これにより、補強部４６は、腕時計ケース２側における断面積よりもバンド３側における断面積が小さくなっている。 Fig.12 (a) is the top view which looked at the connection member in this embodiment from upper direction, FIG.12 (b) is a side view of the connection member shown to Fig.12 (a).
As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, in this embodiment, the reinforcing portion 46 of the connecting member 4 has a height on the side of the band 3 on the side of the watch case 2 as in the first embodiment. It is lower than the height. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the thickness in the width direction on the wristwatch case 2 side (lateral direction in FIG. 12A, the width direction of the band 3 when the connecting member 4 is disposed between the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3). Further, the thickness in the width direction on the side of the band 3 is smaller than that of the band 3, and it is substantially trapezoidal when viewed from above.
Thereby, the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing part 46 on the band 3 side is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side.

また、図示は省略するが、本実施形態では、腕時計ケース２に形成されている切り欠き部及びバンド３に形成されている切り欠き部は、連結部材４の補強部４６の形状に合うように、腕時計ケース２側からバンド３側にいくにしたがって徐々に幅が狭くなっている。   Although not shown, in this embodiment, the cutout portion formed in the watch case 2 and the cutout portion formed in the band 3 match the shape of the reinforcing portion 46 of the connecting member 4. The width gradually decreases from the watch case 2 side toward the band 3 side.

なお、その他の構成は、第１の実施形態と同様であることから、同一部材には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。   In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

次に、本実施形態におけるバンド取付構造の作用について説明する。
本実施形態において、腕時計ケース２にバンド３を取り付ける際には、まず、連結部材４を、接触部４１が腕時計ケース２の裏面側に接触するとともに、補強部４６の凸部４４が形成されている側が腕時計ケース２側に位置するように配置して、連結部材４の補強部４６を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部の切り欠き部に嵌め込む。次に、バンド３の連結部を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部に嵌め込む。このとき、連結部の切り欠き部に連結部材４の補強部４６が嵌め込まれる。そして、腕時計ケース２の棒受け孔２７とバンド３の貫通孔３１と連結部材４の貫通孔４３とを貫くようにばね棒５を挿通させることにより、バンド３が腕時計ケース２に取り付けられる。
連結部材４の補強部４６は、バンド３側の断面積が腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりも小さいことにより、腕時計１を腕に装着した際、バンド３が、腕時計ケース２に対しては強固に連結された状態を保ちながら、腕の動き等に応じて柔軟に撓り、腕にフィットする。 Next, the effect | action of the band attachment structure in this embodiment is demonstrated.
In this embodiment, when attaching the band 3 to the watch case 2, first, the connecting member 4 is brought into contact with the contact portion 41 on the back side of the watch case 2, and the convex portion 44 of the reinforcing portion 46 is formed. The reinforcing portion 46 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch portion of the band mounting portion of the watch case 2 so that the side where the watch is located is located on the watch case 2 side. Next, the connecting portion of the band 3 is fitted into the band attaching portion of the watch case 2. At this time, the reinforcing portion 46 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch portion of the connecting portion. The band 3 is attached to the watch case 2 by inserting the spring bar 5 so as to pass through the rod receiving hole 27 of the watch case 2, the through hole 31 of the band 3 and the through hole 43 of the connecting member 4.
The reinforcing portion 46 of the connecting member 4 has a smaller cross-sectional area on the band 3 side than a cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side, so that the band 3 is strong against the wristwatch case 2 when the wristwatch 1 is attached to the wrist. While being connected to the arm, it flexes flexibly according to the movement of the arm and fits the arm.

なお、その他の点については、第１の実施形態と同様であることから、その説明を省略する。   Since other points are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

以上のように、本実施形態によれば、第１の実施形態と同様の効果を得られる他、以下の効果を得ることができる。
すなわち、本実施形態では、連結部材４の補強部４６の高さだけでなく幅方向の厚みをも変えることで、バンド３側の断面積が腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりも小さくなるように断面積の調整を行っている。このため、高さのみによって補強部の断面積を調整する場合よりも腕時計ケース２側の断面積とバンド３側の断面積とを大きく変化させることができ、腕時計ケース２側においては、接触部４１をしっかりと支えることができるとともに、バンド３側では、腕やバンド３の動きに柔軟に対応することができる。これにより、ユーザが腕時計１を腕に装着した際に、優れたフィット感を得ることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the same effects as those of the first embodiment.
That is, in the present embodiment, by changing not only the height of the reinforcing portion 46 of the connecting member 4 but also the thickness in the width direction, the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side is made smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side. The cross-sectional area is adjusted. For this reason, the cross-sectional area on the side of the watch case 2 and the cross-sectional area on the side of the band 3 can be greatly changed as compared with the case where the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing portion is adjusted only by the height. 41 can be firmly supported, and on the band 3 side, the arm and the movement of the band 3 can be flexibly handled. Thereby, when the user wears the wristwatch 1 on the arm, an excellent fit can be obtained.

なお、本実施形態では、連結部材４の補強部４６の高さと幅方向の厚みの両方を変えて補強部４６の断面積を調整する場合について例示したが、補強部４６の断面積の調整の仕方はこれに限定されない。
補強部４６の厚みを場所によって変える場合には、例えば、補強部４６の高さを均一とし、厚みのみで補強部４６の断面積を調整することも可能である。
このように、補強部４７厚みを変える場合には、腕時計のデザイン上の制約等により補強部４６の高さにあまり変化を付けられない場合でも、補強部４６の断面積を調整することができ、ユーザが腕時計１を腕に装着した際に、優れたフィット感を得ることができる。 In the present embodiment, the case where the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing portion 46 is adjusted by changing both the height of the reinforcing portion 46 of the connecting member 4 and the thickness in the width direction is exemplified. The way is not limited to this.
When changing the thickness of the reinforcing portion 46 depending on the location, for example, the height of the reinforcing portion 46 can be made uniform, and the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing portion 46 can be adjusted only by the thickness.
As described above, when the thickness of the reinforcing portion 47 is changed, the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing portion 46 can be adjusted even if the height of the reinforcing portion 46 cannot be significantly changed due to restrictions on the design of the wristwatch. When the user wears the wristwatch 1 on the arm, an excellent fit can be obtained.

［第３の実施の形態］
次に、図１３（ａ）及び図１３（ｂ）を参照しつつ、本発明に係るバンド取付構造の第３の実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態は、連結部材の構成のみが第１の実施形態等と異なるものであるため、以下においては、特に第１の実施形態等と異なる点について説明する。 [Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the band mounting structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b). In addition, since this embodiment differs only in the structure of a connection member from 1st Embodiment etc., below, especially a different point from 1st Embodiment etc. is demonstrated.

図１３（ａ）は、本実施形態における連結部材を上方から見た平面図であり、図１３（ｂ）は、図１３（ａ）に示す連結部材の側面図である。
図１３（ａ）及び図１３（ｂ）に示すように、本実施形態では、連結部材４には、接触部４１の上に、図１３（ａ）における縦方向（連結部材４を腕時計ケース２とバンド３との間に配置した際のバンド３の延在方向）にほぼ平行して２つの補強部４７が設けられている。
各補強部４７は、第１の実施形態と同様に、バンド３側の高さが腕時計ケース２側の高さよりも低くなっており、これにより、補強部４７は、腕時計ケース２側における断面積よりもバンド３側における断面積が小さくなっている。 Fig.13 (a) is the top view which looked at the connection member in this embodiment from upper direction, FIG.13 (b) is a side view of the connection member shown to Fig.13 (a).
As shown in FIG. 13A and FIG. 13B, in this embodiment, the connecting member 4 is placed on the contact portion 41 in the vertical direction in FIG. The two reinforcing portions 47 are provided substantially in parallel with the band 3 in the direction in which the band 3 extends.
As in the first embodiment, each reinforcing portion 47 has a band 3 side height lower than the watch case 2 side height, and thus the reinforcing portion 47 has a cross-sectional area on the watch case 2 side. The cross-sectional area on the band 3 side is smaller than that.

また、図示は省略するが、本実施形態では、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３には、連結部材４の補強部４７の形状に合わせて、それぞれ２つの切り欠き部がほぼ平行して設けられる。   Although not shown, in the present embodiment, the watch case 2 and the band 3 are each provided with two notches substantially parallel to the shape of the reinforcing portion 47 of the connecting member 4.

なお、その他の構成は、第１の実施形態等と同様であることから、同一部材には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。   In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of 1st Embodiment etc., the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

次に、本実施形態におけるバンド取付構造の作用について説明する。
本実施形態において、腕時計ケース２にバンド３を取り付ける際には、まず、連結部材４を、接触部４１が腕時計ケース２の裏面側に接触するとともに、補強部４７の凸部４４が形成されている側が腕時計ケース２側に位置するように配置して、連結部材４の補強部４７を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部の切り欠き部に嵌め込む。次に、バンド３の連結部を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部に嵌め込む。このとき、連結部の切り欠き部に連結部材４の補強部４７が嵌め込まれる。そして、腕時計ケース２の棒受け孔２７とバンド３の貫通孔３１と連結部材４の貫通孔４３とを貫くようにばね棒５を挿通させることにより、バンド３が腕時計ケース２に取り付けられる。
連結部材４の補強部４７は、バンド３側の断面積が腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりも小さいことにより、腕時計１を腕に装着した際、バンド３が、腕時計ケース２に対しては強固に連結された状態を保ちながら、腕の動き等に応じて柔軟に撓り、腕にフィットする。 Next, the effect | action of the band attachment structure in this embodiment is demonstrated.
In this embodiment, when attaching the band 3 to the watch case 2, first, the connecting member 4 is contacted with the contact portion 41 on the back side of the watch case 2, and the convex portion 44 of the reinforcing portion 47 is formed. The reinforcing part 47 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch of the band attaching part of the watch case 2 so that the side where the watch is located is located on the watch case 2 side. Next, the connecting portion of the band 3 is fitted into the band attaching portion of the watch case 2. At this time, the reinforcing portion 47 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch portion of the connecting portion. The band 3 is attached to the watch case 2 by inserting the spring bar 5 so as to pass through the rod receiving hole 27 of the watch case 2, the through hole 31 of the band 3 and the through hole 43 of the connecting member 4.
The reinforcing portion 47 of the connecting member 4 has a smaller cross-sectional area on the band 3 side than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side, so that the band 3 is strong against the wristwatch case 2 when the wristwatch 1 is attached to the wrist. While being connected to the arm, it flexes flexibly according to the movement of the arm and fits the arm.

なお、その他の点については、第１の実施形態と同様であることから、その説明を省略する。   Since other points are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

以上のように、本実施形態によれば、第１の実施形態と同様の効果を得られる他、以下の効果を得ることができる。
すなわち、本実施形態では、連結部材４に２つの補強部４７が設けられており、それぞれバンド３側の断面積が腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりも小さくなるように断面積の調整を行っている。
このように、連結部材４に複数の補強部４７を設けて、それぞれに断面積の調整を行った場合には、連結部材４の幅方向の中央部分に１つ補強部を設けて断面積の調整を行う場合と比較して、バンド３の幅方向の中央部分やその近傍にとどまらず、腕時計１やバンド３全体についての撓り具合の調整をより適切に行うことができる。これにより、腕時計ケース２側においては、接触部４１をしっかりと支えることができるとともに、バンド３側では、腕やバンド３の動きに柔軟に対応することができ、ユーザが腕時計１を腕に装着した際に、優れたフィット感を得ることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the same effects as those of the first embodiment.
That is, in the present embodiment, two reinforcing portions 47 are provided on the connecting member 4, and the cross-sectional area is adjusted so that the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side. Yes.
As described above, when the plurality of reinforcing portions 47 are provided in the connecting member 4 and the cross-sectional area is adjusted for each of them, one reinforcing portion is provided in the central portion of the connecting member 4 in the width direction so that the cross-sectional area is increased. Compared with the case where adjustment is performed, it is possible to more appropriately adjust the degree of bending of the wristwatch 1 and the entire band 3, not limited to the central portion in the width direction of the band 3 and the vicinity thereof. As a result, the wristwatch case 2 side can firmly support the contact portion 41, and the band 3 side can flexibly respond to the movement of the arm and the band 3, and the user wears the wristwatch 1 on the arm. When this is done, an excellent fit can be obtained.

なお、本実施形態では、連結部材４に２つの補強部４７がほぼ平行に配置されている場合を例示したが、補強部４７の数は２つに限定されず、３つ以上であってもよい。
また、補強部４７は必ずしも平行に設けられている必要はなく、補強部４７の配置は適宜変更可能である。例えば、２つの補強部４７が、バンド３側から腕時計ケース２側に向かって、ほぼＶ字型に開くような配置となっていてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the case where the two reinforcing portions 47 are arranged substantially parallel to the connecting member 4 is illustrated, but the number of the reinforcing portions 47 is not limited to two, and may be three or more. Good.
Moreover, the reinforcement part 47 does not necessarily need to be provided in parallel, and arrangement | positioning of the reinforcement part 47 can be changed suitably. For example, the two reinforcing portions 47 may be arranged so as to open in a substantially V shape from the band 3 side toward the wristwatch case 2 side.

［第４の実施の形態］
次に、図１４（ａ）及び図１４（ｂ）を参照しつつ、本発明に係るバンド取付構造の第４の実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態は、連結部材の構成のみが第１の実施形態等と異なるものであるため、以下においては、特に第１の実施形態等と異なる点について説明する。 [Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a fourth embodiment of the band mounting structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b). In addition, since this embodiment differs only in the structure of a connection member from 1st Embodiment etc., below, especially a different point from 1st Embodiment etc. is demonstrated.

図１４（ａ）は、本実施形態における連結部材を上方から見た平面図であり、図１４（ｂ）は、図１４（ａ）に示す連結部材の側面図である。
図１４（ａ）及び図１４（ｂ）に示すように、本実施形態において連結部材４の補強部４８は、上面視においてほぼＸ字型となる形状に形成されている。
なお、図１４（ｂ）に示すように、補強部４８を側面から見た場合の形状は、第１の実施形態等とほぼ同様であり、バンド３側の高さが腕時計ケース２側の高さよりも低くなっている。これにより、補強部４６は、腕時計ケース２側における断面積よりもバンド３側における断面積が小さくなっている。 Fig.14 (a) is the top view which looked at the connection member in this embodiment from upper direction, FIG.14 (b) is a side view of the connection member shown to Fig.14 (a).
As shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, in this embodiment, the reinforcing portion 48 of the connecting member 4 is formed in a shape that is substantially X-shaped when viewed from above.
As shown in FIG. 14B, the shape of the reinforcing portion 48 when viewed from the side is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, and the height on the band 3 side is the height on the watch case 2 side. It is lower than this. Thereby, the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing part 46 on the band 3 side is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side.

また、図示は省略するが、本実施形態では、腕時計ケース２に形成されている切り欠き部及びバンド３に形成されいる切り欠き部は、連結部材４の補強部４８の形状に合うように、腕時計ケース２側からバンド３側にかけて、上面視ほぼＸ字型となる形状に形成される。   Although not shown, in the present embodiment, the notch formed in the watch case 2 and the notch formed in the band 3 match the shape of the reinforcing portion 48 of the connecting member 4. From the wristwatch case 2 side to the band 3 side, it is formed in a shape that is substantially X-shaped when viewed from above.

なお、その他の構成は、第１の実施形態と同様であることから、同一部材には同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する。   In addition, since the other structure is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

次に、本実施形態におけるバンド取付構造の作用について説明する。
本実施形態において、腕時計ケース２にバンド３を取り付ける際には、まず、連結部材４を、接触部４１が腕時計ケース２の裏面側に接触するとともに、補強部４８の凸部４４が形成されている側が腕時計ケース２側に位置するように配置して、連結部材４の補強部４８を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部の切り欠き部に嵌め込む。次に、バンド３の連結部を腕時計ケース２のバンド取付部に嵌め込む。このとき、連結部の切り欠き部に連結部材４の補強部４８が嵌め込まれる。そして、腕時計ケース２の棒受け孔２７とバンド３の貫通孔３１と連結部材４の貫通孔４３とを貫くようにばね棒５を挿通させることにより、バンド３が腕時計ケース２に取り付けられる。
連結部材４の補強部４８は、バンド３側の断面積が腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりも小さいことにより、腕時計１を腕に装着した際、バンド３が、腕時計ケース２に対しては強固に連結された状態を保ちながら、腕の動き等に応じて柔軟に撓り、腕にフィットする。 Next, the effect | action of the band attachment structure in this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the present embodiment, when attaching the band 3 to the watch case 2, first, the connecting member 4 is brought into contact with the contact portion 41 on the back side of the watch case 2, and the convex portion 44 of the reinforcing portion 48 is formed. The reinforcing portion 48 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the notch portion of the band mounting portion of the watch case 2 so that the side where the watch is located is located on the watch case 2 side. Next, the connecting portion of the band 3 is fitted into the band attaching portion of the watch case 2. At this time, the reinforcing portion 48 of the connecting member 4 is fitted into the cutout portion of the connecting portion. The band 3 is attached to the watch case 2 by inserting the spring bar 5 so as to pass through the rod receiving hole 27 of the watch case 2, the through hole 31 of the band 3 and the through hole 43 of the connecting member 4.
The reinforcing portion 48 of the connecting member 4 has a smaller cross-sectional area on the band 3 side than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side, so that the band 3 is strong against the wristwatch case 2 when the wristwatch 1 is worn on the wrist. While being connected to the arm, it flexes flexibly according to the movement of the arm and fits the arm.

なお、その他の点については、第１の実施形態等と同様であることから、その説明を省略する。   Since other points are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

以上のように、本実施形態によれば、第１の実施形態等と同様の効果を得られる他、以下の効果を得ることができる。
すなわち、本実施形態では、連結部材４に上面視においてほぼＸ字型の補強部４８が設けられており、この補強部４８のバンド３側の断面積が腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりも小さくなるように断面積の調整を行っている。
このように、補強部４８が連結部材４の幅方向に拡がりを持つ場合には、接触部４１を面で支えることができる。また、補強部が平板状である場合と比較して、バンド３の幅方向の中央部分やその近傍ににとどまらず、腕時計１やバンド３全体についての撓り具合の調整をより適切に行うことができる。これにより、腕時計ケース２側においては、接触部４１をしっかりと支えることができるとともに、バンド３側では、腕やバンド３の動きに柔軟に対応することができ、ユーザが腕時計１を腕に装着した際に、優れたフィット感を得ることができる。 As described above, according to this embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained, and the following effects can be obtained.
That is, in this embodiment, the connecting member 4 is provided with a substantially X-shaped reinforcing portion 48 in a top view, and the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side of the reinforcing portion 48 is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side. The cross-sectional area is adjusted so that
Thus, when the reinforcement part 48 has an expansion in the width direction of the connecting member 4, the contact part 41 can be supported by the surface. Further, as compared with the case where the reinforcing portion has a flat plate shape, the degree of flexure of the wristwatch 1 or the entire band 3 is adjusted more appropriately than the central portion in the width direction of the band 3 or the vicinity thereof. Can do. As a result, the wristwatch case 2 side can firmly support the contact portion 41, and the band 3 side can flexibly respond to the movement of the arm and the band 3, and the user wears the wristwatch 1 on the arm. When this is done, an excellent fit can be obtained.

なお、補強部４８の形状は、ここに例示したものに限定されず、例えば上面視においてＨ字型等に形成されてもよい。   In addition, the shape of the reinforcement part 48 is not limited to what was illustrated here, For example, you may form in H shape etc. in top view.

なお、以上本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明は、かかる実施形態に限定されず、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲で、種々変形が可能であることは言うまでもない。   Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

例えば、上記各実施形態では、連結部材４の補強部が、腕時計ケース２側の断面積よりもバンド３側の断面積が小さくなるように構成されている場合を例示したが、断面積の調整は、腕時計ケース２側からバンド３側へのバンド３の延在方向における調整のみに限定されない。
例えば、上記第３の実施形態、第４の実施形態のように、連結部材４の幅方向に補強部の端部が複数存在している場合には、連結部材４の幅方向においても補強部の断面積を変える調整を行ってもよい。
すなわち、例えば、連結部材４が、図１３（ａ）及び図１３（ｂ）に示す補強部４７や、図１４（ａ）及び図１４（ｂ）に示す補強部４８を備える場合には、補強部４７、４８の各部の断面積を、腕時計ケース２側における断面積よりもバンド３側における断面積の方が小さくなるようにし、さらに、連結部材４を腕時計１に取り付けた際に腕の付け根に近い側に配置される補強部４７、４８の断面積よりも手首に近い側に配置される補強部４７、４８の断面積の方が小さくなるようにしてもよい。
腕時計１が装着される腕は、手首側が細く、腕の付け根側に行くにしたがって徐々に太くなり、僅かにテーパ状となっている。このため、上記のように連結部材４の補強部における手首に近い側を腕の付け根に近い側よりも撓りやすくすることで、より一層腕に装着した際のフィット感が向上する。 For example, in each of the above embodiments, the case where the reinforcing portion of the connecting member 4 is configured so that the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side is illustrated. Is not limited to adjustment in the extending direction of the band 3 from the watch case 2 side to the band 3 side.
For example, as in the third and fourth embodiments, when there are a plurality of end portions of the reinforcing portion in the width direction of the connecting member 4, the reinforcing portion is also in the width direction of the connecting member 4. Adjustments may be made to change the cross-sectional area.
That is, for example, when the connecting member 4 includes the reinforcing portion 47 shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B and the reinforcing portion 48 shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the reinforcing member 4 is reinforced. The cross-sectional area of each of the portions 47 and 48 is set so that the cross-sectional area on the band 3 side is smaller than the cross-sectional area on the wristwatch case 2 side, and further, the base of the arm when the connecting member 4 is attached to the wristwatch 1. You may make it the cross-sectional area of the reinforcement parts 47 and 48 arrange | positioned at the side close | similar to a wrist smaller than the cross-sectional area of the reinforcement parts 47 and 48 arrange | positioned at the side close | similar to.
The wrist to which the wristwatch 1 is attached is narrow on the wrist side, gradually becoming thicker toward the base of the arm and slightly tapered. For this reason, as described above, by making the side closer to the wrist in the reinforcing portion of the connecting member 4 easier to bend than the side closer to the base of the arm, the feeling of fitting when the arm is further worn is improved.

具体的には、例えば、腕時計１を左腕に装着する場合であって、図１３（ａ）及び図１４（ａ）における連結部材４を腕時計１の６時側（図１における下側）に連結する場合であれば、補強部４７、４８のｂ部分の断面積が４７、４８のａ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるようにし、補強部４７、４８のｄ部分の断面積が４７、４８のｃ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるようにするとともに、手首に近い側に配置される補強部４７、４８のｃ部分の断面積が４７、４８のａ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるようにし、同様に補強部４７、４８のｄ部分の断面積が４７、４８のｂ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるようにする。なお、腕時計１の１２時側（図１における上側）に連結する連結部材４は、手首に近い側に配置される補強部４７、４８のａ部分の断面積が補強部４７、４８のｃ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるようにし、補強部４７、４８のｂ部分の断面積が４７、４８のｄ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるようにする。
また、前述したように、連結部材４は、ユーザ自身で容易に着脱が可能なものであることから、腕時計１を左腕に装着するか、右腕に装着するかによって、ユーザが連結部材４を適宜入れ替えてもよい。すなわち、上記の例とは逆に腕時計１を右腕に装着する場合には、補強部４７、４８のｃ部分の断面積が４７、４８のａ部分の断面積よりも小さく、補強部４７、４８のｄ部分の断面積が４７、４８のｂ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるように形成されている連結部材４を腕時計１の１２時側（図１における上側）に連結し、補強部４７、４８のａ部分の断面積が補強部４７、４８のｃ部分の断面積よりも小さく、補強部４７、４８のｂ部分の断面積が４７、４８のｄ部分の断面積よりも小さくなるように形成されている連結部材４を腕時計１の６時側（図１における下側）に連結する。
補強部４７、４８の各部の断面積を補強部４７、４８の高さのみで調整している場合には、上記のように腕時計１の１２時側に配置する連結部材４と６時側に配置する連結部材４とを入れ替えても切り欠き部２８，３３に嵌め込むことができ、連結部材４を挟み込んだ状態でバンド３を腕時計ケース２に連結することができる。 Specifically, for example, when the wristwatch 1 is worn on the left arm, the connecting member 4 in FIGS. 13A and 14A is connected to the 6 o'clock side (lower side in FIG. 1) of the wristwatch 1. If so, the cross-sectional area of the b portion of the reinforcing portions 47, 48 is made smaller than the cross-sectional area of the a portion of 47, 48, and the cross-sectional area of the d portion of the reinforcing portions 47, 48 is 47, 48. The cross-sectional area of the c portion of the reinforcing portions 47 and 48 disposed on the side closer to the wrist is made smaller than the cross-sectional area of the a portion of 47 and 48, while being smaller than the cross-sectional area of the c portion. Similarly, the cross-sectional area of the d portion of the reinforcing portions 47 and 48 is made smaller than the cross-sectional area of the b portion of 47 and 48. The connecting member 4 connected to the 12 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1 (the upper side in FIG. 1) is such that the cross-sectional area of the a portion of the reinforcing portions 47 and 48 arranged on the side close to the wrist is c portion of the reinforcing portions 47 and 48. The cross-sectional area of the b portion of the reinforcing portions 47 and 48 is made smaller than the cross-sectional area of the d portion of 47 and 48.
Further, as described above, since the connecting member 4 can be easily attached and detached by the user himself, the user appropriately attaches the connecting member 4 depending on whether the wristwatch 1 is attached to the left arm or the right arm. It may be replaced. That is, when the wristwatch 1 is worn on the right arm contrary to the above example, the cross-sectional area of the c portion of the reinforcing portions 47 and 48 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the a portion of 47 and 48, and the reinforcing portions 47 and 48. The connecting member 4 formed so that the cross-sectional area of the d portion of 47, 48 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the b portion of 47, 48 is connected to the twelve o'clock side (upper side in FIG. 1) of the wristwatch 1, The cross-sectional area of the a part of 48 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the c part of the reinforcing parts 47 and 48, and the cross-sectional area of the b part of the reinforcing parts 47 and 48 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the d part of 47 and 48. The formed connecting member 4 is connected to the 6 o'clock side (the lower side in FIG. 1) of the wristwatch 1.
When the cross-sectional area of each part of the reinforcing parts 47 and 48 is adjusted only by the height of the reinforcing parts 47 and 48, the connecting member 4 arranged on the 12 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1 and the 6 o'clock side as described above. Even if the connecting member 4 to be arranged is replaced, it can be fitted into the notches 28 and 33, and the band 3 can be connected to the watch case 2 with the connecting member 4 being sandwiched.

また、本実施形態では、腕時計１の１２時側と６時側とに連結部材４を配置する場合を例としたが、連結部材４は、腕時計１の１２時側及び６時側の両方に配置されている場合に限定されず、いずれか一方のみに配置されていてもよい。   Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where the connection member 4 is arrange | positioned at 12 o'clock side and 6 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1 was taken as an example, the connection member 4 is on both the 12 o'clock side and 6 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1. It is not limited to the case where it is arrange | positioned, You may arrange | position only to either one.

また、腕時計１の１２時側に配置する連結部材４と６時側に配置する連結部材４とは同じものでなくてもよい。
例えば、腕時計１の１２時側と６時側とにそれぞれ異なる色の連結部材４を配置してもよい。
また、腕時計１の１２時側と６時側とに接触部４１の形状等の異なるものを配置してもよい。例えば、腕時計１の１２時側に配置する連結部材４の接触部４１の厚みを６時側に配置する連結部材４の接触部４１よりも厚くしてもよい。腕時計等を装着する腕は、断面において若干楕円形をしており、腕時計を装着しているうちに、腕時計における１２時側にバンド３が回転してずれやすい。この点、腕時計１の１２時側に配置する連結部材４の接触部４１の厚みを腕時計１の６時側に配置する連結部材４の接触部４１の厚みよりも厚くした場合には、１２時方向への回転を抑制することができる。 Further, the connecting member 4 disposed on the 12 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1 and the connecting member 4 disposed on the 6 o'clock side may not be the same.
For example, you may arrange | position the connection member 4 of a different color in the 12:00 side and 6 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1, respectively.
Moreover, you may arrange | position different things, such as a shape of the contact part 41, at 12 o'clock side and 6 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1. For example, the thickness of the contact portion 41 of the connecting member 4 disposed on the 12 o'clock side of the wristwatch 1 may be thicker than the contact portion 41 of the connecting member 4 disposed on the 6 o'clock side. The wrist on which the wristwatch or the like is worn has a slightly oval shape in cross section, and the band 3 tends to rotate and shift on the 12 o'clock side of the wristwatch while the wristwatch is being worn. In this regard, when the thickness of the contact portion 41 of the connecting member 4 disposed on the wristwatch 1 at 12 o'clock is thicker than the thickness of the contact portion 41 of the coupling member 4 disposed on the wristwatch 1 at 6 o'clock, 12 o'clock Rotation in the direction can be suppressed.

また、本実施形態では、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３に形成されている切り欠き部２８，３３が、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の裏面側から表面側に貫通しており、連結部材４の補強部４２の上端部４２ａが、腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の表面側に露出している場合を例示したが、切り欠き部２８，３３は腕時計ケース２及びバンド３の裏面側から表面側に貫通しているものに限定されない。   In the present embodiment, the notches 28 and 33 formed in the watch case 2 and the band 3 penetrate from the back surface side to the front surface side of the watch case 2 and the band 3, and the reinforcing portion of the connecting member 4. The upper end portion 42a of the watch 42 is exposed on the surface side of the watch case 2 and the band 3, but the notches 28 and 33 penetrate from the back side of the watch case 2 and the band 3 to the surface side. It is not limited to what is.

また、本実施形態では、腕時計ケース２とバンド３とは連結部分に棒状部材であるばね棒５を挿通させることにより連結されている場合を例としたが、本発明は、本体ケースとバンドとの連結部分に連結部材４が配置されて連結されていればよく、腕時計ケース２とバンド３との連結手法はばね棒を用いたものに限定されない。   Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where the wristwatch case 2 and the band 3 are connected by inserting the spring bar 5 which is a rod-like member through the connecting portion is taken as an example, the present invention is not limited to the main body case and the band. As long as the connecting member 4 is disposed and connected to the connecting portion, the connecting method of the watch case 2 and the band 3 is not limited to that using a spring bar.

また、本実施形態では、バンド取付構造を腕時計に適用した場合を例として説明したが、バンド取付構造を適用するものは本体ケース（本実施形態では腕時計ケース）とこれに取り付けられるバンドを備えるものであればよく、腕時計に限定されない。例えば、歩数計、心拍計や脈拍計等の生体情報表示装置、高度情報や気圧情報等の表示装置、携帯型のプレーヤ等、バンドによって腕に装着可能な各種の機器に本発明のバンド取付構造を適用してもよい。   Further, in this embodiment, the case where the band mounting structure is applied to a wristwatch has been described as an example. However, the one to which the band mounting structure is applied includes a main body case (a wristwatch case in this embodiment) and a band attached to the main body case. As long as it is, it is not limited to a wristwatch. For example, the band mounting structure of the present invention can be attached to various devices that can be worn on the arm by a band, such as a pedometer, a biological information display device such as a heart rate monitor or a pulse meter, a display device such as altitude information and barometric pressure information, and a portable player. May be applied.
