Description

本発明は、中留及び腕時計に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a Nakadome and a wristwatch.

従来、腕時計等のバンドの連結部に設けられる中留として、カバー部材等を備える三つ折れ方式の中留等が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
カバー部材は中留の外装面を構成し、バンドを装着した際、バンドの駒体とともに視認される部分である。このため、中留の外装面を構成するカバー部材に装飾を施すことでバンドのデザイン性を向上させることができる。
Conventionally, as a clasp provided at a connecting portion of a band of a wristwatch or the like, a tri-fold type clasp or the like provided with a cover member or the like is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
The cover member constitutes the exterior surface of the Nakadome, and is a part that is visually recognized together with the piece body of the band when the band is attached. Therefore, the design of the band can be improved by decorating the cover member constituting the exterior surface of the middle clasp.

特許4641098号公報Japanese Patent No. 4641098

しかしながら、中留は、バンドが取り付けられる腕時計等を腕に対して着脱する度に触れる部分であるため、単に表面に装飾部材を貼着したり凹部に嵌め込むだけでは、繰り返し中留を操作することで装飾が外れてしまうおそれがある。
他方、装飾部材を中留の外装面にねじ止め等により固定すると部品点数が増え、組み込み作業の工数も増えてコストが増大する。
However, since the clasp is a part that is touched every time a wristwatch or the like to which a band is attached is attached to or detached from the arm, the clasp is repeatedly operated by simply attaching a decorative member to the surface or fitting it into a recess. This may cause the decoration to come off.
On the other hand, if the decorative member is fixed to the exterior surface of the clasp by screwing or the like, the number of parts increases, the man-hours for assembling work also increase, and the cost increases.

本発明は以上のような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、部品点数を増やすことなく、外れにくい装飾をカバー部材に施し、デザイン性に優れた中留及び腕時計を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cover member with a decoration that does not easily come off without increasing the number of parts, and to provide a clasp and a wristwatch having excellent design.

Next, the decorative member 8 (8a, 8b) is attached to the cover member 3.
FIG. 6A is a side sectional view showing a state in which the first decorative member is attached to the cover member, and FIG. 6B shows a state in which the first decorative member is attached to the cover member in the exterior portion. It is a perspective view seen from the back surface side. Note that FIG. 6A shows only the exterior portion 31 of the cover member 3 as a cross section, and shows the side surface of the first decorative member 8a attached to the exterior portion 31.
The first decorative member 8a is inserted from the opening 37 (first opening) provided on the side of the opening 37 of the cover member 3 on the side where the shaft hole 33 for adjusting the band length is formed. Specifically, the free end of the leg portion 82a faces the other opening 37 (second opening) side, and the free end side of the leg portion 82a faces the back surface side of the exterior portion 31 of the cover member 3. The decorative member 8a of 1 is inserted.
As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the first decorative member 8a is inserted into the opening 37 to a position where the flange portion 83 of the member main body 81a abuts on the upper surface of the exterior portion 31, and the member is a member. Only the upper surface of the main body 81a is exposed on the upper surface of the exterior portion 31, and the other portions are arranged on the back surface side of the exterior portion 31.

カバー部材3の非視認側(裏面側)であってバンド1の長手方向の一端側(図6(a)及び図6(b)では左側)には、前述のようにバンド長調整用の軸孔33が設けられており、バンド1を構成する駒体11の一部が配置される。特にバンド1を短くしたい場合には、複数ある軸孔33のうち最も右側に配置された軸孔33に先頭の駒体11が係止され、これに続く駒体11がカバー部材3の非視認側(裏面側)に配置される。
このため軸孔33が設けられている側には、カバー部材3の外装部31の下側にある程度の空間が確保されることが望ましく、軸孔33が設けられている側の開口部37に取り付けられる第1の装飾部材8aは他側に設けられる第2の装飾部材8bよりもバンド1の厚み方向の厚みが小さく(薄く)形成されることが好ましい。
これにより、最も右側に配置された軸孔33に先頭の駒体11が係止された場合でも、中留10の開閉時等に駒体11とカバー部材3や構成部材40とが干渉するのを回避することができる。
なお、第1の装飾部材8aの部材本体81a及び脚部82aの両方が薄く形成されていてもよいが、特に駒体11と干渉しやすい位置に配置される部材本体81aのみを薄く形成してもよい。第1の装飾部材8aを他方の第2の装飾部材8bよりもどの程度薄くするかは、駒体11の形状や厚み、カバー部材3の軸孔33と第1の装飾部材8aが取り付けられる開口部37(第1の開口部)との位置関係等との関係から適宜設定される。
On the non-visible side (back surface side) of the cover member 3 and one end side (left side in FIGS. 6A and 6B) of the band 1 in the longitudinal direction, a shaft for adjusting the band length is as described above. A hole 33 is provided, and a part of the piece 11 constituting the band 1 is arranged. In particular, when it is desired to shorten the band 1, the leading piece 11 is locked to the rightmost shaft hole 33 among the plurality of shaft holes 33, and the subsequent piece 11 is invisible to the cover member 3. It is placed on the side (back side).
Therefore, it is desirable that a certain amount of space is secured under the exterior portion 31 of the cover member 3 on the side where the shaft hole 33 is provided, and the opening 37 on the side where the shaft hole 33 is provided is provided. It is preferable that the first decorative member 8a to be attached is formed to have a smaller (thinner) thickness in the thickness direction of the band 1 than the second decorative member 8b provided on the other side.
As a result, even when the leading piece 11 is locked in the shaft hole 33 arranged on the far right side, the piece 11 interferes with the cover member 3 and the constituent member 40 when the middle clasp 10 is opened and closed. Can be avoided.
Both the member main body 81a and the leg portion 82a of the first decorative member 8a may be formed thinly, but only the member main body 81a arranged at a position where it easily interferes with the piece body 11 is formed thinly. May be good. How thin the first decorative member 8a is than the other second decorative member 8b depends on the shape and thickness of the piece body 11 and the opening to which the shaft hole 33 of the cover member 3 and the first decorative member 8a are attached. It is appropriately set in relation to the positional relationship with the portion 37 (first opening) and the like.
