DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a metal watch band.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a metal watch band has a structure in which a large number of metal pieces are connected using pins, spring bars, or the like. In order to adjust the size of the watch band such that the length of the watch band is slightly shortened, it is necessary to remove an arbitrary frame in the middle of the band and then connect the frames again. When removing the top, it is necessary to remove the pin and the spring bar. When reconnecting the tops, the pin and the spring bar must be inserted into the top and assembled. It is relatively easy to remove, but inserting and removing the removed pins and spring bars into the top is difficult, cumbersome, and requires skill.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an extremely novel metal wristwatch band that can be easily adjusted in size.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a metal wristwatch band of the present invention according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a band body 2 formed by connecting a number of metal pieces 1 to a wristwatch body. A metal wristwatch band in which an end piece 3 for connection is detachable from an end of the band body 2
, The connection cylinder 4 to the wristwatch body and its connection
The top 1 at the end of the band body 2 is integrated with the cylinder 4
Between the frame 1 and the frame 1
With a locking claw 7 that can be inserted and engaged in the gap 9 of the joint
The base end is hinged on the outer surface of the holder 5 with the hinge 8.
The end piece is formed by the movable plate portion 6 which is movably integrated.
3 is constituted .

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention also provides
Metal watchband of the present invention in a second aspect, made a number of metal
To the wristwatch body
Connect the end piece 3 for connection to the end of the band body 2
In a metal wristband that can be attached to and detached from,
A connecting cylinder 4 for the wristwatch body, and one connecting cylinder 4
It is possible to insert the top 1 at the end of the band body 2
Gap between the holder part 5 and the top 1
The above-mentioned connection is provided with a locking claw 7 which can be inserted and engaged in the space 9.
An inner cylinder portion 10 provided at a base end portion is rotatably fitted in the cylinder portion 4.
By doing so, it is integrated so that it can slide freely to the connecting cylinder 4
The end piece 3 is constituted by the rotating plate portion 6 thus formed.
And a configuration characterized by the following.

[0006]

Since the end piece 3 can be freely attached to and detached from the end of the band body 2, when adjusting the dimensions, the end piece 3 is detached from the band body 2 and an arbitrary number of the ends are further removed from the end of the band body 2. After removing the top 1, the end piece 3 may be connected to the end of the band body 2 again. Then, the end piece 3 is connected to the connecting cylinder 4 for the wristwatch main body, and the connecting cylinder 4 is integrated with the band main body 2.
The above-mentioned connection is provided with a holder portion 5 into which the top 1 at the end of the frame can be inserted, and a locking claw 7 which can be inserted into and engaged with the gap 9 between the joints between the tops 1. the tubular portion 4 or the holder part 5 is constituted by a rotating plate 6 integrated擺動freely
Therefore , the connection between the band body 2 and the end piece 3 is facilitated .

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the end piece 3 has been removed from the band body 2, and FIG.
Are connected. FIGS. 3 and 4 also show a state in which the end piece 3 is removed from the band body 2 and a state in which the end piece 3 is connected to the band body 2, respectively. The band body 2 shown in FIGS. , FIG.
The structure is different from that of the band body 2 shown in FIG.
First, in the drawing, reference numeral 2 denotes a band body. The band body 2 is formed by connecting a large number of metal tops 1 in series with pins, spring bars, or the like. Next, reference numeral 3 denotes a metal end piece for connecting the band main body 2 to a wristwatch main body (not shown). This end piece 3
It is composed of a connecting cylinder 4 for the wristwatch body, a holder 5 integrated with the connecting cylinder 4, and a rotating plate 6 having a base end connected to the outer surface of the holder 5 by a hinge 8 so as to be slidable. The holder 5 has an opening on the opposite side surface on which the connecting cylinder 4 is integrated so that an arbitrary number of pieces 1 located at the end of the band body 2 can be inserted therein. Numeral 6 is provided with a hook-shaped locking claw 7 which is inserted into and engaged with a gap 9 between joints 1 of the band main body 2 between the tops 1 of the band main body 2.

In order to adjust the size of the band main body 2 so as to shorten the length, first, the end piece 3 is removed from the end of the band main body 2. In order to remove the end piece 3, the pivot plate 6 is raised as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and the locking claw 7 is disengaged from the gap 9 of the joint between the tops 1. After releasing the stop state, the holder section 5 may be extracted. Next, an arbitrary number of frames 1 are removed from the end of the band body 2. When the top 1 is to be removed, a pin or a spring bar for connecting the tops 1 may be removed as in the related art. After removing unnecessary frames 1, an arbitrary number of frames 1 at the end of the band body 2 are inserted into the holder portion 5 again, and the rotating plate portion 6 is
And the locking claw 7 is tilted down as shown in FIG.
The band adjusting operation of the band main body 2 is completed by inserting the band main body 2 into the gap 9 between the joints and locking it.

Next, FIG. 5 shows an end piece 3 of another embodiment.
It is shown. In the above embodiment, the rotating plate 6 is connected to the outer surface of the holder 5 by the hinge 8. However, in this embodiment, the inner cylindrical portion 10 is provided at the base end of the rotating plate 6. The inner cylinder 10 is rotatably fitted in the connection cylinder 4.

[0010]

The metal wristwatch band of the present invention is as described above. When adjusting the dimensions of the band main body 2, the end piece 3 is detached from the band main body 2, and the unnecessary top 1 is removed from the end. Since it is only necessary to connect the end piece 3 to the top 1 at the end of the band body 2 again, the troublesome work of inserting and assembling a pin or a spring bar into the top 1 as in the related art is unnecessary, and the dimensions are reduced. There is an effect that the adjusting operation is extremely simplified. Further, the end piece 3 is connected to the connection tube 4 for the wristwatch main body, the holder unit 5 which is integrated with the connection tube 4 to insert the top 1 at the end of the band main body 2, the top 1 and the top 1 And the engagement claw 7 that can be inserted into and engaged with the gap 9 of the joint between
Alternatively , the band body 2 and the end piece 3 are constituted by the rotating plate portion 6 which is slidably integrated with the holder portion 5.
There is an effect that the attachment / detachment work can be easily performed.
