Description

The present invention relates to bands and watches.

Conventionally, as a band attached to a case of a wristwatch or the like, a band is formed by passing a beautiful lock of the other band through one of a plurality of small holes formed in various leathers, cloths, etc. There are known configurations that adjust the length of the leather. In these bands, various techniques have been proposed for adjusting the length of the band according to the thickness of the user's arm and suppressing the band from falling off from the arm.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a free-adjusting clasp comprising a beautiful lock frame that can be fixed at an arbitrary position of one band and a beautiful lock plate that is attached to the tip of the other band and fixed to the beautiful lock frame. The configuration of a wristwatch with is disclosed. A U-shaped band separation prevention frame is rotatably attached to the tip of one band, and the other band is slidably inserted between one band and the band separation prevention frame. According to the technique described in Patent Document 1, one band can pass through the separation prevention frame, but the beautiful lock plate cannot pass through. Therefore, it is said that the length can be adjusted by changing the position of the beautiful lock frame, and the wristwatch can be prevented from accidentally falling off from the wrist.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-127317

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, when the beautiful lock plate is locked to the beautiful lock frame, the beautiful lock frame is covered with the cover of the beautiful lock plate, so that the band is used as an arm. The length of the band cannot be adjusted while it is attached. For this reason, the user may perform the operation of putting on and taking off the beautiful lock a plurality of times in order to adjust the length to a desired length, which may reduce the convenience of the user.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a band and a timepiece that can improve convenience.

In order to solve the above problems, the band of one embodiment of the present invention is provided in the first band, the second band having an annular portion, and the first band, and a part of the annular portion is inserted therein. The second band is provided with an engaging portion that can be moved along the longitudinal direction of the second band.

According to this configuration, the second band has an annular portion, and a part of the annular portion of the second band is inserted through the engaging portion provided in the first band. As a result, the connected state of the first band and the second band can be maintained even when the engaged state by the engaging portion is released. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the band from being inadvertently dropped from the arm.
The engaging portion is movable along the longitudinal direction of the second band. As a result, the engagement position of the engaging portion with respect to the second band can be changed, so that the length of the combined band of the first band and the second band can be adjusted. Further, since the engaging portion moves in the longitudinal direction on the second band and engages with the second band, the engaging portion can move in the longitudinal direction and engage with the second band at the same time. Therefore, since the length of the band can be adjusted in the worn state, it is desired to match the thickness of the user's arm without repeating the operation of attaching and detaching the engaging portion a plurality of times as in the prior art. Can be easily adjusted to the length of.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a band that can suppress the detachment from the arm, can adjust the length while worn on the arm, and improve the convenience of the user.

Further, in the band, the engaging portion has a beautiful lock and a stick, and a portion located inside the annular portion is inserted into the beautiful lock and the stick is inserted. Has a small hole
A plurality of the small holes are provided along the longitudinal direction of the second band.

According to this configuration, a beautiful lock and a stick are provided in the first band, and the stick is inserted into the small hole of the annular portion in the second band to fix the first band and the second band. .. In addition, the length of the band can be adjusted by changing the position of the small hole into which the stick is inserted. As a result, even if it is difficult to adjust the length of the band itself as compared with a bracelet type band composed of a plurality of pieces, such as a band made of leather or cloth, the length can be easily adjusted. Is possible. Therefore, a band formed of leather, cloth, or the like can have a particularly suitable configuration.
The beautiful lock is inserted into a portion located inside the annular portion, and a small hole is formed in the portion located inside the annular portion. Therefore, when the band is attached, the beautiful lock, the stick, and the small hole are covered with a portion located on the outside of the annular portion. Therefore, by hiding the beautiful lock, the stick, and the small hole at the time of mounting with the outer portion of the annular portion, the aesthetic appearance at the time of mounting can be improved. Further, since it is possible to suppress the engaging portion from being exposed to the outside, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of erroneous operations such as unintentional disengagement between the first band and the second band.

Further, the band has a clasp between the first band and the engaging portion.

According to this configuration, since the band has a clasp, the band can be easily attached to and detached from the arm by opening and closing the clasp without changing the length of the band. Since the clasp is provided between the first band and the engaging portion, the engaging portion can be moved with respect to the second band even when the clasp is closed. Therefore, the band can be easily attached and detached by the clasp, and the length of the band can be adjusted in the worn state, so that the band can be made more convenient for the user.
Here, in the conventional technique of attaching and detaching only by the clasp, if the length of the clasp is too long, the folded portion may hit the arm, and if the length of the clasp is too short, it may not come off from the arm. be. For this reason, in the prior art, there is a problem that it is difficult to create a unisex medium. In response to this problem, according to the configuration of the present invention, since the clasp and the engaging portion are provided, even when the clasp is set short, the engaging state by the engaging portion is released and loosened. You can remove it from your arm. Therefore, the configuration of the Nakadome can be unisex, and the versatility of the band can be improved.

Further, in the band, the second band is formed of a first member and a second member made of different materials from each other, and the annular portion connects the ends in the longitudinal direction of the first member and the second member. It is formed by doing.

According to this configuration, since the annular portion is formed of two members (first member and second member) made of different materials, the annular portion can be easily annularized by connecting the ends of the two members to each other. Part can be formed. Further, since a small hole is formed in the member located inside the annular portion, for example, by forming the member located outside the annular portion with a member for design, both functionality and aesthetics can be achieved.

Further, the band includes the first member located on the arm side when the band is attached to the arm, and the second member located on the side opposite to the arm with respect to the first member. The strength of the first member is higher than the strength of the second member, and the engaging portion is attached to the first member of the first band.

According to this configuration, since the engaging portion is attached to the first member having higher strength than the second member, the engaging portion can be firmly held. Since the first member is located inside the annular portion (on the arm side when the band is attached to the arm), a small hole can be formed in the high-strength first member. Further, the beautiful lock is provided so as to be movable by sliding on the first member. In this way, since a high-strength first member can be used inside the annular portion where a large force is likely to act as compared with the outside of the annular portion (the side opposite to the arm with respect to the first member), the band. It is possible to improve the strength of the band and suppress the damage of the band and the loss of small holes. Further, as the second member, for example, a material having good decorativeness, a material having difficulty in forming a hole, a material having low strength, or the like can be used. In this way, since each material can be selected according to the application, both functionality and aesthetics can be achieved, and the degree of freedom in design can be improved.

A watch of one form of the present invention includes the above-mentioned band, a case body, and a movement housed in the case body.

According to this configuration, the movement is housed in the case body, so that it can be used as a wristwatch, for example. Since the watch is provided with the above-mentioned band, the watch can be easily worn on the wrist, and the length of the band can be changed while the watch is worn, making the watch easy to use. In particular, it is suitable for situations where the length can be easily adjusted by operating the beautiful lock without opening the clasp, and it is necessary to prevent it from falling off, for example, when the diver is using it while wearing a wet suit. It can be a good watch.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly functional timepiece having a band that can improve convenience.

Further, in the watch, the case body has a first passage port through which the first band is inserted and a second passage port through which the second band is inserted, and the first band and the first band are inserted. The two bands are integrally provided by connecting the ends inserted through the first passage port and the second passage port to each other.

According to this configuration, the band is integrally provided by connecting the first band and the second band. In this way, since one band is formed in a ring shape, it is possible to further prevent the band from falling off from the arm. The case body has a first passage port and a second passage port, and a band is inserted into each passage port. Therefore, by sliding the band with respect to each passage port, the position of the case body with respect to the longitudinal direction of the band can be adjusted. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in wearability due to a difference in the relative position between the clasp and the case body depending on the thickness of the arm.

Therefore, when the band 2 is attached, the beautiful lock 50, the stick 51, and the small hole 38 are covered with the design member 22 located outside the annular portion 37. Therefore, by hiding the beautiful lock 50, the stick 51, and the small hole 38 with the design member 22 on the outside of the annular portion 37 at the time of mounting, the aesthetic appearance at the time of mounting can be improved. Further, since the engaging portion 7 can be suppressed from being exposed to the outside, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of erroneous operations such as unintentional disengagement between the first band 31 and the second band 32.

Since the band 2 has a clasp 6, the band 2 can be easily attached to and detached from the arm by opening and closing the clasp 6 without changing the length of the band 2. Since the center retainer 6 is provided between the first band 31 and the engaging portion 7, the engaging portion 7 can be moved with respect to the second band 32 even when the center retainer 6 is closed. can. Therefore, the band 2 can be easily attached and detached by the clasp 6, and the length of the band 2 can be adjusted in the worn state, so that the band 2 can be made more convenient for the user.

Here, in the conventional technique of attaching and detaching only by the middle clasp 6, if the length of the middle clasp 6 is too long, the folded portion may hit the arm, and if the length of the middle clasp 6 is too short, it comes off from the arm. It may disappear. Therefore, in the prior art, there is a problem that it is difficult to create a unisex Nakadome 6. In response to this problem, according to the configuration of the present invention, since the retaining portion 6 and the engaging portion 7 are provided, the engaging state of the engaging portion 7 is released even when the retaining portion 6 is set short. You can remove it from your arm by loosening it. Therefore, the configuration of the Nakadome 6 can be unisex, and the versatility of the band 2 can be improved.

Since the annular portion 37 is formed of two members made of different materials, the annular portion 37 can be easily formed by connecting the ends of the two members to each other. Further, since a small hole 38 is formed in the member located inside the annular portion 37, for example, by forming the member located outside the annular portion 37 with a member for design, both functionality and aesthetics can be achieved. Can be done.

The engaging portion 7 is attached to the strength member 21 (first member of the claim) having a higher strength than the design member 22 (second member of the claim). As a result, the engaging portion 7 can be firmly held. Since the strength member 21 is located inside the annular portion 37, a small hole 38 can be formed in the high-strength member 21. Further, the beautiful lock 50 is provided so as to be movable by sliding on the strength member 21. As described above, since the high-strength member 21 can be used inside the annular portion 37 on which a large force is more likely to act as compared with the outside of the annular portion 37, the strength of the band 2 is improved and the band 2 is damaged. And the small hole 38 can be suppressed from being abandoned. Further, as the design member 22, for example, a material having good decorativeness, a material having difficulty in forming a hole, a material having low strength, or the like can be used. In this way, since each material can be selected according to the application, both functionality and aesthetics can be achieved, and the degree of freedom in design can be improved.

The cap 36 provided at the tip end portion 32a of the second band 32 is removable from the second band 32. By removing the cap 36, the connection state between the strength member 21 and the design member 22 can be released at the tip end portion 32a of the second band 32. Thereby, the combination of the strength member 21 and the design member 22 can be easily changed.

According to the watch 1 of the present embodiment, the movement 3 is housed in the case body 4, so that the watch 1 can be used as a wristwatch, for example. Since the watch 1 includes the above-mentioned band 2, the watch 1 can be easily worn on the wrist, and the length of the band 2 can be changed in the worn state, making the watch 1 easy to use. In particular, for example, when a diver wears a wet suit, the length can be easily adjusted by operating the beautiful lock 50 without opening the clasp 6, and it is necessary to prevent it from falling off. It can be a suitable watch 1 in the above.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly functional timepiece 1 provided with a band 2 that can improve convenience.

The band 2 is integrally provided by connecting the first band 31 and the second band 32. In this way, since one band 2 is formed in a ring shape, it is possible to further suppress the falling off from the arm. The case body 4 has a first passage port 15 and a second passage port 18, and a band 2 is inserted into each of the passage ports 15 and 18, respectively. Therefore, by sliding the band 2 with respect to the passage ports 15 and 18, the position of the case body 4 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the band 2 can be adjusted. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in wearability due to the relative positions of the clasp 6 and the case body 4 being different depending on the thickness of the arm.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, the first band 31 and the second band 32 may be formed separately. That is, the base end portion 31b of the first band 31 may be attached to the first can 11, and the base end portion 32b of the second band 32 may be attached to the second can 12.

In the annular portion 37, the end portion of the second band 32 may be closed by sewing, for example, the strength member 21 and the design member 22 instead of the cap 36.
The shape of the case may be a shape other than a circular shape, such as a rectangular shape, an elliptical shape, or a polygonal shape when viewed from the front.
The materials of the strength member 21 and the design member 22 are not limited to the materials of the above-described embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the engaging portion 7 is an engaging metal fitting formed of a metal material has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the engaging portion 7 may be a member formed of a material other than the metal material.
Further, the second band 32 may be formed by folding one member in half.

In addition, it is possible to replace the constituent elements in the above-described embodiment with well-known constituent elements as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-mentioned modified examples may be appropriately combined.
